NAPOLEON BREWERY.
VIM. Tietjen, Proprietor.

The manufacture of malt liquors
has largely increased in all parts of
the United States during recent
years, and in quality has excelled the
productions of European brewers.
There is no brewery in this section
of the state which holds more
prominent and important position
in connection with the brewing in
dustry than does the Napoleon brew
cry. They have added many i'm
provements and greatly increased
both quantity and quality of the out
put. The brewery is fitted up with
the latest improvements including
ice machines, boiling and filtering
apparatus, etc., and having large
storage capacity enables them to
have we'll matured beer at all times
And it is a fact beyond dispute that
by far the purest and best beer that
is being made in this country comes
from the smaller breweries, which
are compelled to make better beer
because of the great competition to
be met from the larger breweries
that brew immense quantities with
out regard to quality. The best in
dorsement we could possibly give the
beer of this brewery is to state the
fact that nothing is used but the pur-
est and highest priced malt and hops,
and the result Is that there is no bet
ter beer made In this country; and

A HastY Marriage.

"Marry in haste and repent at leisure"
is an old adage, and that it possesses
some truth is demonstrated in the case
of two young south siders. One of them,
it is certain, is in penitent mood. The
story is as follows: A certain young
man, or boy, as he is but 18 years Of
age, and girl of II had for some time
kept company with each other and made
up their minds to get married. All ar
rangements were made, and everything
seemed rosy and bright till it was found
that very essential thing had been
overlooked-the parents of the young
lady had not given their consent. The
young man at once set about to remedy
this, and imagine his dismay when he
was informed that he could not have
the girl of his choice for wife. After
considering the matter he proposed to
the girl that they eloLe. This she re-
fused to do. She was sure, however.
that if the young man would but wait
for few months her parents consent
could be gained. This he refused to do,
and in huff he went away and pro-
posed to another young woman. She at
once accepted him, and the wedding
was solemnized. Immediately after the
ceremony the young man concluded that
he had done a foolish thing, and he has
already instituted a suit for divorce, as
the parents Of the first girl have said
that if he can secure his freedom he can
have their daughter. -Pittsburg Chron-

Cancer
be Cured.

It is very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in majority of cases it
is first indicated by very small pim-
pie or sore, to which no attention is
attracted, until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.

of wonderful case.
She says: A small pimp1e of a

began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing all efforts to check it, until it was
the size of a partridge egg. My eye

swollen, that for quite while could

what might have been expected
