In fact. there never was time when the

of the best of men used strong liquor with
freedom and occasionally allowed it TO get

which the contrasting phrases Drunk as

part of the currency of daily speech. To-

SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL.
The Presbyterians Take in Thir-
Five New Members.

Rev. Walter Latimore of Chicago,
closed his revival meetings at the
Presbyterian church upon last week
Wednesday evening. AS an Evan
gelist Rev. Latimore has few equals,
and during his short stay in our city
his labors have accomplished much
good in the Christian work, and he
has left many warm friends in Ma
poleon. He is a polished Christian
gentleman, a forcible and fluent speak
er, instructive and entertaining in
his expounding of the scriptures.
The meetings throughout were well
attended, considering the inclement
March weather and the bad roads,
together. with the numerous other
attractions during the weeks of the
services. Upon the close OF his work
here Rev. Latimore commenced his
labors in Logansport, Ind.
On Sabbath the Lords supper was
celebrated in the church, upon which
occasion probably more communl-
cants partook of the sacrament than
upon any previous occasion of the
kind in the history of the church in
Napoleon. The services were con
Quoted by Rev. Donahey, and at this
time thirty-five new members were
added to the church, fully one half
receiving the ordinance of baptism
1t being Palm Sunday, the pulpit
was beautifully decorated with
palms, flowers and other plants.

IMPROVED STREETS.
Nirtified Brick on Concrete
Foundation.

A committee of citizens, consisting
of Messrs. R. w. Cahill, Henry
Rohrs, H. G. Groschner and L. L.
Orwig, visited Toledo on Monday,
with a view of getting information
as to the Improvement of streets
with vitrified bricks or blocks. They
examined many of the streets of To
ledo laid with brick, and CLEANED
much from City Engineer Clark, who
was untiring in his efforts to give
all the information on the subject he
was possessed of, as the position he
occupies has given Mr. Clark all the
vital points in improvements of this
kind. He rendered valuable assis-
tance to the committee, for which
they were thankful.
Cn Friday last similar committee
of citizens, consisting of Jacob
Brown, Warren Balsley and Charles
VanHyning, visited Defiance and
examined and enquired into the
brick paving of that city. As re-
suit of the investigations of the
committees, it is determined to
pave the street with blocks on a con
crete foundation. This will cost
probably about $140 square yard.

Too Good to Keep.

A good story was told of young
man in the eastern part oftown who
met his best girl on the street and made
arrangements to take her to a lecture
or something of like nature one
evening. He told her he had to go
home and fix up, and she said she
had a similar contract to perform.
At the proper time he came around
and escorted her to the entertain
ment, at the close of which the an
nouncement was made that a collec-
ton would be taken up. Ihe young
man commenced fishing in his pocket
for quarter, but found nothing.
His face expressed his embarrass-
ment, and to relieve it the young
lady reached into the unknown re-
gions ola woman's dress for her purse,
and then she turned pink color.
Just then the collector reached them
with his plate, add the young man
in a hoarse whisper, loud enough to
be heard nearly all over the house,
said: Il pass, partner, | havn't a
cent. | changed my pants. And
the young lady in a tone of distress,
chimed in "I'm the same fix" The
silence which fell upon the house
could be seen and felt.

Coming.

DR.. France is becoming so we'll and
favorably known in our community
that it is hardly necessary to more
than mention the date of his coming
to insure a large crowd at the hotel
eager to avail themselves of his
superior skill. Those who are incura-
BILE are frankly told so. Many who
have doctored for years, even until
they have given up the cherished
hope of cure in despair and resigned
themselves to miserable existence
are speedily and permanently re-
turned to health. To those who
have become discouraged we would
say, by all means visit the doctor and
obtain his opinion if you have not
already done so.
DR.. France will visit Napoleon,
April 9th. Consultation free and
strictly confidential in the private
parlor of the Miller Hotel, from 0 a.

Vanderbilt Working on a Big
Railway Scheme.
A NEW ROAD PRTOSPEC.
Napoleon on the New Line.

The Toledo Commercial, in conver-
sation with prominent eastern rail
road man, CLEANED the following
facts concerning the Vanderbilts and
their railroad connections between
New York and Chicago. 1t will be
seen Napoleon is on the proposed
short cut, the building of which gives
Henry county slice of one of the
greatest railroads in the country,
which will add handsomely to our
tax duplicate. The conversation
goes on:
The Vanderbilts are behind the
scheme to bridge the Detroit river.
They don't care cent what the cost
of the structure may be if they can
only get permission e. build it. The
real object of the bridge is to shorten
the time between Chicago and New
York. The vessel interests of the
great lakes are too large to permit an
obstruction in the shape of a bridge
being built across the Detroit river,
and the chances are the bridge will
never be built, and the VanderbiIts
cannot expect to shorten the time be-
tween Chicago and New York via
the Michigan Central Their next
move, then, will be to straighten out
all the loops in the Lake Shore sys-
TEN so as to make the distance be-
tween the two cities the shOrtes t
possible.
The Vanderbilts have their en-
gineers at work on this plan now.
The Lake Shore system as it is to day
is not large enough to take care of
the business offered it and how can
it expect to handle it ten or twenty
years hence? The Vanderbilts will
have to enlarge the Lake Shore sys-
TEN by building four tracks at least
inside of the next ten years. When
it begins this work the intention is
to follow the direct line of the Lake
Shore as n arly as possible, but when
loops are reached the plan will be to
build new air line right across from
the ends of the loop so as to shorten
tbs distance and in this way the time
between the two cities. 1t is claim
ed that an air line which would cut
off all loops would shorten the dis
tance between Buffalo and Chicago
at least 50 to 100 miles.
l. lie CllhlCeS dIG blluL "lleA VIC
new lines are built Toledo will not be
on the route of the Lake Shores
fast passenger lines. Toledo is locat-
ed at the bulge of loop or curve in
the Lake Shore system about twenty
three miles north of q direct air line.
The curve begins at Fremont, bends
around to Toledo and then strikes
the direct air line at a point near the
Ohio and Indiana state line. At pres
ent the Lake Shore company and the
Vanderbilts are figuring on building
an air line straight across from Ere
mont to Edgerton or Bryan This
would take the new line through
Bowling Green and Napoleon and
would shorten the distance between
Fremont and Edgerton by very near
| ly TWENTY-FIVE miles

ON THE MOVE.
Washington Street Business
Property Changes Hands.

During the past week there has
been two important transfers of
Washington street business property.
Ferdinand Roessing purchased the
Scribner brick block and the lot ad-
Joining it on the west--consideration
50, 900. and Charles Clay purchased
the Dittenhaver room, east of the
Shasteen grocery; consideration 3d.
500.
Since the Lima Northern became
an assured fact for Napoleon, and
the prospects good for one or two
other railroads, together with the
movement in favor of paving the
street, Washington street property
has taken squirt ahead, which has
resulted in the above two sales at
round figures, while others are in
contemplation.
Within the past year most of the
real estate in Napoleon has advanced
in price from % to so per cent, and
the real estate market has been quite
brisk. Rents have advanced in sym
pathy with this increase in value,
and dwelling houses and business
rooms have been in good demand.
Napoleon offers splendid induce
ments to capital seeking investment.

through all the state and federal
