Severe Storm,

A severe wind, hail and rain storm
passed over sections of Henry coun-
ty on Saturday afternoon. Many
trees and branches were blown down
and the hail did considerable dam
age to growing crops and fruit. The
storm was in the nature of a young
cyclone, and had it been nearer the
earth would have been more des-
tructive and loss of life might have
followed. AS it was the storm ragged
high in the air, thus saving property
and life. Hail as large as walnuts
fell. 1t came up during memorial
exercises in the opera house, and the
large crowd there assembled grew
timid at the fury of the winds and
fully half of the audience left the
building. The tunnel shaped cloud
was with us, but luckily it did not
reach the earth, or if it did it was
scattered and its fury spent.

The Best Paint,

Don't forget when you buy your
oils and paints to buy the very best.
In the line of paints you will find 1t
more so than in anything else that
the best is the cheapest, buy that
which has been tried and been found
reliable. If there is anything new
to by tried or experimental with, let
somebody else try it first. Saur 81
Balsley are in the market with
everything that is new and reliable,
that which as been tried, in fact you
go to your neighbors or friends and
some one who has used them, where
you can see for yourself how they
look and how they wear. Remem-
Der that if you go to Saur g. Balsley's
you will find the very best and just
as cheap as you can get it anywhere,
even in the largest cities. In fact this
house will not be undersold.

Serious Accident.

While at work at the hoop factory
Tuesday afternoon Daniel Honeck
received injuries that will prove seri-
Gus. He was loading the car that
carries the logs into the mill when
the cant hook slipped and he fell
backward in front ofthe car, the end
hitting him in the abdomen. He was
terribly crushed and bruised about
the legs and abdomen, and only his
presence of mind in throwing him
self off OF the track to one side saved
him from fatal injury. The injured
man was taken to his home in a bug
gy and his wounds were dressed by
DR.. Chas. Harrison.

Bonds Redeemed.

On July 1st, 1896, the Commission
ers have called in $50, 900 of Napoleon
Township Road Improvement Bonds
for payment. These bonds were
issued in 1886 and due in 1901, but as
they are redeemable after July 1st,
1896, and the money being on hand
they will be called in and paid and
over $1,000 of interest saved every
year. The tax levy for next year
for road improvement in Napoleon
township will be reduced from mills
to 8 mills. This is u commendable
move on the part of the Commission
ers and it will receive the hearty in
dorsement of all our tax payers.

Horses Killed by the Cars,

On Thursday morning last, ]. c..
Davis, who lives % miles southwest
of Napoleon, had two work horses
run down by the o'clock freight go
ing east. The animals were so badly
cut up and bruised that they had to
be killed to put them out of their mis-
cry. Mr.. Davis put the horses out
to pasture the evening before, but
during the night they got intoa field
that was not fenced along the rail
road and strayed upon the track.
The loss is a severe one to Mr.. Davis,
which the railroad company no
doubt will make good.

Particular People.

Our customers are partlcu-
lar people, and we are glad OF
it, for we are a little particu-
lar ourselves. People who
are particular about the goods
they buy, who insist upon per-
lection as to durability, goods
to be as represented, best ma
terials and quality, are people
who know what they ought to
pay for goods and who refuse
to pay exhorbitant prices.
AS we have said we are par
ticular ourselves. Particular
in selecting our goods, and we
do our own selecting, from the
best concerns in the country;
insist upon the very highest
grade of goods, and as we pay
the plank down cash for every
dollars worth of goods pur-
chased we get them at the
lowest notch, and that is the
secret of how we can sell first
class stock at a price which
most dealers ask for second
class and inferior goods.
We are especially particu-
lar in the selection of our
stock of drugs and medicines.
They must always be up to
the standard, pure and fresh.
We pride ourselves in this de-
partment, and truthfully be-
lieve that we have drugs and
medicines for all the aches and
pains known to the human
race, and to the animal king
dom as we'll. We keep none
but what we can recommend:
and it is always wise to keep
an assortment Of goods, true
and tried remedies on hand, sc
that they may be near when
wanted, for it is a fact that
many lives are sacred, anC
diseases prevented, by having
the right medicine at the right
time, and in time.
And while we are especially
particular with our stock O.
drugs and medicines, we are
equally particular in the Sc
lection Of our paints, oils anc
brushes. We are the oldes
house in the county dealing
in these goods, and we have
this class of goods down pat
We keep no inferior paints o.
oils, and it is for that reason
wherever you see paint sprea(
that comes from our store it il
always found to wear well ane
is first class in all particulars.
Our wall paper and window
shade dept has a well estab
lished reputation, and we arr
as particular of this depart
ment as we are Of any other il
our mammoth store. Style
and patterns have never beer
more pretty than they arr
now, and as to prices you cal
paper your entire home TO
little or no money. Th'
cheapness of our paper will
surprise you, as we'll as ou
designs will delight. Come il
and look over the stock wheth
er you wish to purchase O
not.

and everything in the boo1
and stationery line, and kee7

THE BEST
SPRING 81 MEDICINE

is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it.

Some Talk Over the Recent
Police Match Across the
Bay.
An Oakland Officer Answers Some
Charges Which Were
Made.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 31.-There is
war between the Oakland and San Fran
cisco police departments, and it is all over
a story that appeared in to-day's CALL.
Several statements made by members of
the San Francisco force are denied by the
Oakland men and there is no doubt that
the butts at Shell NJ Mound will soon witness
another match between the hobbies.
whoever supplied those facts across the
bay did not know what he was talking
about said Detective Nick Williams to-
night. The trouble is all caused by the
south of-Market-street squad because they
were not in the match. They are trying
to rldicule Captain Wittman's team, but
we are just as ready to meet another team
from the other division. 1t says that four
of our team were in the Carson Guards at
the time they were beaten by the old
timers, with whom was Captain Douglass.
This is false, not one of our team
having ever been in the Carson
Guard. Then it goes on to say that
the old-timers P. D. Linville. Charley
Bixley, George Gan, Cailleau, E. G. Wells,
J. c. Lane, Bodwell, Hiram A. Robinson,
John CLAM, Bailey, Clark, Oaks Erskine
and the old veteran Captain Douglass
were never beaten. This is not so. About
thirteen years ago team from the Pacific
Rife Club consisting of shots from both
sides of the bay beat them at Shell Mound.
Myself, Colonel McKiIlican and Sheldon l.
Kellogg of this City were in the Pacific
team and we beat the old-timers at 200 and
$40 yards, ten shots apiece. On that occa-
sion the boys were so badly beaten that
Captain Douglass felt pretty bad.
Again, they said that we are all trained
match men. With the exception of Dave
Swain and myself, not one Of our team
ever shot in match in his life, and some
of them were five points shy OF what they
always accomplish at practice. We are
certain that the men we shot against, in
cluding Captain Whitman, are, every one
OF them, perfect gentlemen. They took
their defeat with the best of good feeling,
and we are sure they are not doing the
baby act now"

OAKLAND, CAL, April /. - The
Auxiliary League of the Salvation

OF the meeting is set forth in the following

work among the poor and also some particu-
lars of the unfortunate resignation OF Com
mander and Mrs Booth. Your auxiliary pass
will admit you to this meeting, to which you
are most cordially invited. You are also at

think would be interested. Trusting that we
NAV have the pleasure of Seeing you present

STRIKE OF A DAY.
The Alameda County Lathers Rapidly
Win Their Fight for More
Wages.

OAKLAND, CAL, April 1.-Lathers
Protective Union. No. l of Alameda
county, won their demand for the adoption
of new wage schedule to-day without
contest, as far as can be seen. The men
did not work to-day, as it had been agreed
before hand that it should be observed as
a holiday.
The union has within its ranks every
one of the thirty-seven fathers in the
county. OF these, ten are first class,
eighteen second class and nine bosses
Some month or more ago it notified all
interested that on and after April l the
wage schedule would be raised so as to be:
Boss lathers, 81 a thousand; journeymen
So day; bunch-handlers, 81 70 per thou
sand. Charles van Ha,tren says
I'VE are enjoying holiday to-day, and
will return to work tomorrow at the new
wages. We have no non-union men to
contend with, so every lather in the coun-
ty is member of our union. Our new
schedule of wages raises them on this side
of the bay to an equal footing with those
in San Francisco. Prospects are good for
lots of work this summer, and with fair
prices we will get along finely. The largest
job on this side OF the bay now is at the
tractor, has already agreed to our new
schedule. The Builders Exchanges here
and in San Francisco report that more
plans are being figured on this spring than
at any other time in the past three years.
The architects are all busy on plans for
proposed buildings of all kinds and sizes"
kr. Burke of the plastering firm of
Burke & Dixon said: "The lathers have
been working for from 81 to 81 25 1000
which is no price at all. Every one had
sufficient warming of the raise in prices
and figured accordingly. The lathers can
put on an average of 1000 day. which will
be making 81 for the boss, of which the
workmen will get $3 under the new
schedule. It makes no difference to plas-
terers, as we charge that much more on
our bids"
The officers of the local union are as
follows: President, William Van Haltren;
vice president, John Johnscn secretary,
Charles Van Haltren; treasurer, John
Condor; sergeant-at-arms, c. Mack; ex-
ecutlve committee-Mark Curtis, J. B.

Mayor Davies Dollar.Tax Levy
Must Be Spent at All
Hazard.
A POSSIBLE SURPLUS FEARED.
His Honor Makes Some Pointed Re-
marks on the Financial Ability
of His Fellow Officials,
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
9OS Broadway April l.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
9OS Broadway, April l. {
"There is so much money in every fund
from the dollar limit that some of the city
officials are risking their necks in their
efforts to spend it and throw discredit on
my figures" said the Mayor to-day.
The cause of Mr.. Davies remark was the
opening of bids last night for putting a
new ventilator system in the old High
School. The bids ranged from $6526 to
$500, and the Mayor considers it just so
much money thrown away. More than
that, he says that politics are at the bot
tom of the new ventilating scheme and
that the work is not nece ssary.
The city expert recently prepared
statement of the city finances, which
showed clearly that there is more money
left to run the city for the second half of
the fiscal year than was used in the first
six months. The figures show that $349,-
800 has been spent and 1916, 6,912 remained
Now, this proves that the dollar limit
is enough to run the city if reasonable
supervision is exercised over the various
departments, said the Mayor. "Now, it
is positively funny. OF course it is not to
be thought of for moment that Popu-
list Mayor is to be permitted by hetero-
incapable of1ce-holders, to run the city on
dollar limit without deficit. They will
make deficit or die in the attempt. At
present they do not know which way TO turn
to avoid a surplus. The ventilation of the
old High School is just sample. 1t will
waste about $4,000 that was not in the esti-
mate, but of course it will go.
Last night another absurd matter
cropped up at the board meeting that
shows how stupidity the affairs of this
city are conducted. Bids were received
for workbenches for the Manual Training
School. Now, what in the world is being
done in the present Manual Training
School? Would it not surely be a COM
nonsense business proposition for the
boys to make these benches? The present
methods are childish in the extreme.
Here the Board of Works advertises for
bids for workbenches and they will cost
$24 Is each. Any person with sense would
recommend that the pupils make them.
There are all the necessary tools on hand
and few dollars worth of lumber is all
that is required.
april is now here and no schools or
reading rooms have yet been closed, as
was predicted six months ago. The city
never has been so economically governed
and there is no argument that can be
raised against the dollar limit But there
is money on hand now and of course it
must be spent. How. matters not, so
long as Davies financeering is belittled.' -
