Additional evidence of the increasing lmpor.
tanco OF the United States in the money markets
OF the world was furnished to-day by evidence
that Europe Is again a borrower Of money In this
market. 1t will be remembered that foreign
bankers were compelled to turn to this market
several months ago as the cheapest one In which
to borrow. and by doing so they averted
exports of specie from Europe, that is,
deferred the payment Of balances duo this
country. Prior to that time Europe had on va
rious occasions forced the payment Of balances
due 1t. As discount rates abroad are now rela.
tivcly higher than they are hero, and European
bankers are reluctant to part with their sup
plies Of gold. domestic bankers who are large
purchasers Of commercial bills are indorsing
them and borrowing money upon them
here In preference to sending them for.
ward for discount pending collection.
This condition of affairs. in connection with tho
abundant supply Of money here, although the
movement Of staple crops to market is well
under way, insures a comfortable money mar
kct for some time to come. Should the
rates for money here advance materi-
ally the bills now being discounted
practically for European account would
go forward and gold would be received for them
to an extent that would reestablish the cqul.
librium between the two markets. This sltua.
ton mny possibly commend itself to those who
are crying for an increase In tho circulating me.
dunn and for so.called elastic currency" Upon
the same point It is to be noted that both the
banks and the Treasury are now 30 well sup
piled with gold that over q million dollars was
paid into the Clearing House to-day In settle
ment of balances. Imports Of specie from
Europe have ceased for the reasons already
noted, but a further amount. namely. 50, 0OO,-
900, is due at San Francisco from Australia
day after tomorrow. The closing Of the stock
market was strong. at about the best prices.

Result of the Firing Published by the

The War Department has just published
the results of the rifle, carbine and revolver
firing of all the troops of the army during
the past year. The table shows that the
leading departments at the various ranges
were as follows: Two hundred yards. with
rifles. Department of Missouri with car
bines, Department OF the Platte.
Three hundred yards, rifles. Department
CT Columbia; with carbines, Department Of
the Platte.
Five hundred yards, rifles, Department Of

AS skirmishers. with rifles! Department
of the Platte; with carbines. Department
Of the Platte.
In volley practice at 800 to 1000 yards,
the Department OF Texas led, with the
highest percentage of hits with the rifle,
and the Department of the Platte with the
carbine. Curiously enough the latter's car
hine score was higher than the formers
rifle score at these long ranges.
OF all the cavalry regiments the Sth stood
first at every range from 200 to 1000 yards,
and as skirmishers.
The infantry regiments divided honors.
At 200 and 800 yards the 4th stood first; at
500 yards the 14th led; at coo yards the
10Th: at 500 yards the 18th; at 1000 yards
the 7th, and as skrmishers the 22d Infan-
try led. In revolver shooting the 7th Cav

Week of Prayer.

Sunday last was the beginning OF
the week of prayer. The first week in
January of every year is observed as
such the world over by Protestants
of all denominations. The Interna-
tional Evangelical Alliance maps out
the programme, assigning subjects
for each day of the week. The sub
jects to be meditated upon for the
balance of the week are as follows:
Wednesday, January 6-"Nations
and Their Rulers" Praise for the
general prevalence of peace; for the
happy issue of the Venezulan dis
pute, and for the progress of arbitra-
ton. Prayer for all authority; for
Courts of justice and Legislature; for
the complete triumph of the princl-
pies of arbitation, and for temper
ance and all other needed reforms.
Thursday, January 7-''Foreign
Mission" Praise for the progress of
the years: Prayer for the revival of
the missionary spirit; for mission
aries, especially those exposed to pc
culiar perils, and for the Armenians,
and for all who are prosecuted for
Christ's sake.
Friday, January S-"Home Mis-
sions." Praise for increasing appre-
hension Of the social mission of the
church, and for the growth Of fmunic-
ipal reform. Prayer for missionary
societies burdened with debt; for
home and city missidnariaG And for
neglected populations, -hath-city and
rural.
Saturday, January 9-"Families
and Schools" Praise for families
united in Christ and for the increas-
ing number of Christian youth.
Prayer for parents, children and SER
wants, and all schools, colleges, semin-
aries and universities; also, for Sun
day schools and for religious societies
for young men and women.
Sunday, Jan. 10-Sermons. Text:
"All power is given unto Me IN heav.
en- and in earth. Go ye, therefore,
and teach all nations, and baptize
them in the nanie of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the holy Ghost;
teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever l have commanded you;
and 10, am with you always, even
unto the end of the world"

Madam Lillian NOrdica The
Great Prima Donna to Visit
Toledo

Another evidence of the enterprise
of the management of the Valentine
Theatre ut Toledo is the bringing to
that city on Tuesday evening, Jan.
18th, Madam Lillian Nordica, the
worlds first dramatic priIna donna,
accompanied by the greatest contral-
to, Nine. Sofia Scalchi, Mr.. Barro N
Berthold, tenor, Mr.. John G. Demp-
sey, baritone and Mr.. I. Luckstone.
pianist. The bringing together the
above great artists for limited
operatic concert tour will be appre-
ciated by the musically cultured peo-
pie furtunate enough to hear them,
and the country surrounding will
send large delegations to be present
at this the most notable musical
event in years. Nordica stands to-
day practically without a rival among
the young dramatic sopranos of her
time, and in the opinion of many of
the most expert critics, she is the
greatest that has been heard in New
York in many years. In concert
oratorio or opera she is pronounced
equally great. Endowed with extreme
gifts of temperament she has been
enabled to achieve one of the most
brilliant careers ever chronicled in
the musical world. Year after year
her admirers have closely marked her
development from fine signer to a
great artist who to-day stands at the
head of her art. For this great con-
cert the prices will be50c, $100, 81. so,
81. 90 and $3.50, and orders addressed
to the Treasure, Valentine Theatre,
will have prompt attention. Special
rates will be given on railroads to ac-
commodate those who wish to attend.

THE LIMA NORTHERN
Still Making New improvements
In Napoleon.

Last week representatives of the
Lima Northern r. r. failing to pur-
chase additional land from the Woke
Bros. leased of them the seyen-acre
tract which lies Immediately east of
the railroad track, between the Wa
bash road and the canal. This prop
erty will be used as a "Y" and turn
table, and when completed all trains
will change engines at this point.
This move on the part of the Lima
Northern makes it almost certain
that Napoleon will eventually be
made division point, which will be
of great importance to our beautiful
and growing little city in more ways
than one. When we are made q di-
vision terminus, all train crews will
become residents of Napoleon, which
will increase our population not lit
tie.
No doubt the managers of the Lii
ma Northern see a bright future for
Napoleon, and they are determined
to do what they can to set the wheels
of progress in motion and assist in
building up the place. They see the
advantages Napoleon has over other
places, inasmuch as we have water
works, electric light plant and i'm
proved roads and streets, all of which
are necessary requisites for modern
and progressive community.
The Lima Northern is coming to
the 'front.' Napoleon is coming to the
front! Let the good work go on.

A DOUBLE FUNERAL.
Death of HI. A. Meyerholtz and
His Aged Mother.

Mrs. Christene MeyerholtZ died at
the home OF her son, Herman A..
Meyerholtz, on New Year day, of old
age. The deceased was one of the
oldest residents Aof this community,
removing to Henry county in the year
1s4S, when Napoleon was only a
hamlet and the country surrounding
it a vast wilderness. At the time of
the old lady's death she was aged SO
years, months and 20 days.
Twelve hours after the death of
mother Meyerholtz her son, Herman
A. Meyerholtz, breathed his last up
on earth. Mr.. Meyerholtz had been
suffering for long time with soft
ening of the brain, which terminal
ed in paralysis and ultimate death.
He was unconscious at the time of
his demise and therefore did not
know of the death of his mother.
H was aged 81 years, 6 months and
25 days.
The funeral of mother and son
took place from the family residence
on Washington street on Monday
morning last, services being held at
st. Paurs Lutheran church, Rev.
Fischer officiating, who delivered an
impressive sermon. The interment
was in Glenwood cemetery.
The bereaved wife and sons have
the heartfelt sympathy of the com
munity in this their dark hour Of
| affliction.
