A TERRIBLE AFFLIcT1oN.

When Fawcett was twenty-five, and
seemingly on the right road to win
his desired position one September day
he went with his father to shoot part
ridges. The birds flew towards the
son. and the father, for the moment,
forgetting where his son stood, fired,
and two shots entered the young mans
eyes. one passing through each glass Of
his spectacles remained permanently
behind the eyes. The student was
bird for life The father was heart
broken at what he had done, but the
son kept his cheerfuIness. and said
years later, that ten minutes after the
accident, he had determined to carry
out his plan of trying for parliament
He attempted to go on with law but
that seemed impossible. He tried to
write with his own hand, but soon
gave it up. Sometimes he became de
pressed, but resolution finally over
came this, and he was cheerful as
long as he lived He thought that it
was a duty, both for his own sake
and for those about him, to bear all
things with courage.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The stock market
today opened irregular but almost at
the outset heavy tone was apparent and
general weakness quickly developed. The
arguments advanced against prices were
the familiar ones of uncertainty regarding

proved the misunderstanding prevailing
until after the close of business regarding
the alleged destination of the British fly

circulated The selling movement was
well distributed and material net losses
were scored.
The final nrices were at about the low

made happy suggestion, that the
blind young student Of twentv-seven
should write popular manual Of
political economy. Fawcett worked
two years on the bOok-hard years, as
they must needs be for one who must
get all his knowledge through the
eyes Of another.
When the book was published it
met with diaHreception, and was
soon used in schools and colleges. The
same year in which the book was
published, the professorship Of politi-
cal economy at the university became
vacant. FaWcett and three others
were candidates. Fawcett was OBJ
posed because it was said that ne
could not keep order in his classes.
and was in all respects at a great dis
advantage through his blindness. To
the delight Of his parents and himself
ne won the honor. with a salary of
t5oo' This and his fellowship gave
him a good support.
The death of Sir Charles Napier left
vacancy in the representation of

A Card.

Thanks to my many friends who have mItle
me so happy by granting me the privilege to
hear the Gospel preached and songs of King
dom sang through the telephone. What a
privilege and what advantages has God be-
slowed upon his people to give them wisdom
and knowledge for such wonderful inven-
tions, and oh what charity to be settled over
me. While listen to the streams of music
passing through the phone, 1 lay silent and
amazed-to know whether was ON earth or
in Heaven-the music seemed so divine.
Truly it is soul inspiring food for the hungry
soul, which to me seems as essential as food
for the body. How 1 wish every invalid could
enjoy this same blessing. Surely now am
not shut in from my friends-only led away,
out of the dust and turmoil, the burden and
heat of the day into the cool green pastures
by the waters calm and still. where 1 may lie
down in quiet and yield to our Fathers will.
Dear Epworthians, have not forgotten your
charity bestowed upon me.
Some two years ago when our way through
affliction seemed so hedged in, we knew not
what to do. when God in some mysterious
way revealed to Miss Hattie Hudson our
situation. Quickly she responded; through
her instrumentality the kind hearted people
OF Napoleon soon set matters that was ap-
palling Alright. Truly the God of Israel
knoweth our wants and supplieth all our
needs.
No language Of mine can express the great
fulness of my heart for your charitable
deeds. Believe me your invalid friend,
"a. CAMERON.

HUNG HIMSELF.
Another Unfortunate Quits This
Earth by the Suicide Route.

Early last Wednesday evening
Coroner Harmon received telegram
from Liberty Center stating a man
had committed suicide at Damascus,
a small village along the river Z miles
east of this city. The coroner and
DR.. Bloomfield left for the scene and
found the report to be true. The
facts as we have them are as follows:
Alex. Swarner, a farmer aged
about 80 yeaas, had been in the
habit of late of getting drunk and
beating his family. He had threat.
ened to kill himself on several occa-
sions during the past two years but
was always too drunk to carry out
his purpose. Last Wednesday Swar-
ner had been to Liberty Center all
day and went home at 5 o'clock in a
drunken condition. Getting hold of
lath from a binder he whipped his
youngest child in a terrible manner
and drove the family out of the
house. Mrs. Swarner and the child
rem fled across the canal bridge to
Mrs. LutZ's residence O. short dis
tance down the canal. Geo. Lutz was
sent back to see if Swarner had
quieted down any and upon enter
ing the house was Mortified to see
him hanging by the neck from a
rope. He was cut down and help
summoned but life was extinct. Al
ter several attempts the suicide had
at last succeeded. He had taken an
ordinary clothes line and tied it to a
pole in a room on the second floor.
The rope had been slipped through
q hole in the floor through which
the stove pipe was put in the winter,
and was held by the pole being
placed across the hole. The suicide
after making these preparations de-
scended to the room below, got on a
chair, made an ordinary slip moose
inthe rope, placed the moose around
his neck and kicked the chair from
under him. His feet just barely
touched the floor and death resulted
from slow strangulation
Funeral services were held Friday
at 10 o'clock from the
church at Liberty Center.

Harvest.

Harvest is here and so is the hot
weather, this usually brings with it
much sickness, especially among
children; such as diarrhoea, cholera,
cholera infantum, summer COM
plant, bilious fevers, etc. Much of
this may and can be avoided by ev-
cry family supplying itself with such
preventatives and curative remedies
as can always be had at Saur & Balls
ley's Drug and Paint Store, the price
of which is very little and when used
in time often prevents a, long spell of
sickness. This too is an excellent
time to buy wall paper and window
shades; during this month when this
house reduces it's stock you can al
ways buy at much lower prices than
at any other time during the whole
year. Don't delay this opportunity
and you will find that what is here
stated is an absolute truth and not a

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Was Properly Observed by Ma
pOleOn and Vicinity.

The old American eagle did itself
proud and screamed to its hearts
content last Saturday, bringing the
people to this city in a crowd which
was larger than on any of Napoleon's
previous celebrations. The Com
mittee on Arrangements are to be
congratulated ON the way the pro-
gram of the day was carried out, ev-
cry event coming off as advertised.
The opening of the festivities began
at sunrise and did not close until af-
ter the display of fireworks in the
evening. In the industrial parade at
1880 a. III. most of the business
houses were represented. Notably
among the displays were those of
Heller, Aller q Co., g. W. Gardner
& Son, Thiesen & Hildred, Leonhart
Bros, Plummer & Knipp, Spengler
Bros. & Co., Model Shoe Store. Hen

Frank Beck, Fred Groenewold, VIM.
Samse, A. j. Vandenbroek.
The Napoleon Fire Department
made q fine appearances, and the
boys received many compliments.
Co. f failed to materalfze.
The parade was the best and
largest ever seen in Napoleon, and
was a surprise to all, even the COM
mittee in charge. But when Napo-
leon attempts to do thing, it is gen
erelly well done. Music during the
day was furnished by the Florida,
Ridgeville and 10th Regt. Bands.
The committee on prizes for the
different races and contests made the
awards as follows:
One mile county bicycle race-1st,
e. Champion, ,2nd, Geo. Welsted.

foot-T. E. Warner. Most comical

The display of fireworks in the even
ing was the largest and best ever seen
in Napoleon and were witnessed by
thousands of delighted citizens and
visitors to our city. The display oc-
cupied about two hours of time, and
was well managed by those in
charge.
One of the best features of the day
was the daring dive of Chas. McCar-
ty from the top of the river bridge
to the water below. The distance of
the jump is between As and 80 feet.
Although it was not adver-
tised the event drew crowd to the
river bridge. Mr.. McCarty made the
dive in clever manner and suffered
not the slightest inconvenience.
Another thing on the program
worthy of special mention was the
performance of Zoyarra. The two
exhibitions he gave ON the court
house square were good and brought
forth much applause.

Narrow Escape of q Babe from
Drowning.

AS usual on Monday, Mrs. August
Kobe, living on Welsted street was
doing her weekly washing. She had
occasion to visit a neighhors, leaving
her eight months old babe in charge
of a young girl. During her short
absence the babe in. some manner
fell into a tub of water, and when
seen by the young girl its body was
submerged in the water. its dress
only could be seen. The girl had
presence of mind to pull the babe
out of the water and scream for help.
Life was nearly extinct but by dill
gent work of the neighbors, and
medical aid by DIR. Maerker, the babe
was resuscitated, much to the relief
of the distracted parents. Hopes
are entertained that the babe will
fully recover from its narrow escape
from death.

To Attempt to Cure

catarrh by the use of so-called blood
remedies means the expenditure of
many dollars and arrangement of the
stomach. That catarrh is not caused
by blood troubles is selfevident when
you reflect that attacks are always
due to sudden climatic changes or
exposure to cold, and occur most
frequently during the winter and
spring, though the blood is as pure
then as in summer or fall. A remedy
which quickly relieves and by thor
ough treatment cures the catarrhal
attacks has been found in Ely's Cream
Balm.
