Jacob Karst of Defiance Deai

Jacob Karst of Defiance Dead.
A dispatch to the Blade from De-
fiance says:
Jacob Karst. the contractor, died
here Sunday morning at o'clock,
after being confined to his home for
four weeks. Mr.. Karst has been for
years one of this city's most highly
respected, prominent and progressive
citizens, and in all matters of public
Importance he has taken an active
part. 1t is to his industry that De-
tiance owes one of its finest business
blocks. He was one of the leading
contractors of Northwestern Ohio,
and it was under his directions the
Henry county court house and Jail at
Napoleon were erected; also the
Union county court house at Marys-
vile. In this city the present central
school building, the city prison and
numerous other buildings were built
under his contract. The deceased
besides being an active business man
was also a successful politician, and
served Defiance county as sheriff
from 1870 to 1876, and as commission
er from 1887 to 1894. He also was for
number OF years member of the
city school board and city council,
and was chief of the first fire depart
ment organized here.
The subject of this obituary was
born at Aadenheim, Germany, March
5, 1926, and came to America in l949,
settling in Hancock county near
Findlay, where he resided on farm
for a few years, and then moved to
Eindlay where he. in partnership
with his brother, started a starch
factory He was married in 1854 to
Celine Kosmann, who survives him.
He came to Defiance in 1859, and has
since been q resident here. He was
the founder of the present large
brewery here, as well as of the first
brewery in Defiance county. At the
time of his death he was the senior
member of the firm of Karst 81 Tenzer,
a large lumber factory.
Mr.. Karst held the respect of all
who knew him. In his business,
political and private life he was up
right inlhis dealings, and in his loss
Defiance loses q man who was as dear
to the inhabitants as any other, and
whose loss will be as greatly missed.
Deceased leaves wife and ten
children. The funeral will occur
/ Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at St
i 'Mary's Catholic church, and the re-
mains will be inferred in Riverside
cemetery. Az

MODEL SHOE STORE.
Justice is Done,

The decision of the Supreme Court
of Ohio, in the quo warranto case of
John Wisda VS.. George @. Serrill, in
favor of Wisda and ousting Serrill,
gives the people of Defiance county
cause to congratulate themselves,
and also a man who has had Justice
done him after enduring months of
annoyance, expense and personal
humiliation.
The result of course is not sur
prise to the public. As a matter of
law. equity and common sense there
has not any time been any doubt of
Wisda's victory, but the announce
ment causes general rejoicing never
theless.
John Wisda was regularly nomi-
mated and elected in 1895 as county
treasurer of Defiance county for the
term beginning Sept. Z, 1896, and re-
ceived his commission from the Gov
ernor. At the same time George G..
Serrill was, after having been ap-
pointed to fill out the unexpired
term of Wesley O.. Barney, who re-
signed, elected in 1895 to fill out that
term, an election of Mr.. Serrill which
proved to be unnecessary. Where
upon Mr.. Serrill was induced to
claim the regular term belonging to
Mr.. Wisda upon the simple techni
cality that Serrill receiveda few more
votes upon the same ticket with Mr.
Wisda than the latter And when
the time for Mr.. Wisda to assume
his official term arrived Mr.. Serril.
declined to turn over the office tt
the treasurer-elect
Mr.. Wisda has been troubled and
put to expense to obtain his rights
beyond any kind of reason. But ht
has borne it all with commendable
patience and fortitude and his vic
tory, though quite long deferred, i!
correspondingly forcible.
Had George G. Serrill taken the
advice of his friends, inftead of hi
covert enemies, he would to-day bt
in q very favorable position before
the people of Defiance county, a fact
that he now realizes as fully as does
any other person. Mr.. Serrill has
made good treasurer, his only mis-
take being in running counter to the
law and the sentiment of his own po
litical party in this matter of hang
ing on to an office to which another
man has been elected, commissioned
and qualitied-DefGnce NeaOS.

RUINED IN THE KITCHEN
Is the Fate of Many Good Artic-
les of Food and Drink.

It is too often true Of our American
households that, while the host or
hostess may take unusual pains in
the selection of good articles OF food
and drink, they come on the table in
anything but a palatable manner,
having been entirely and completely
ruined in the kitchen.
The choicest cut of meat may be
made tough and greasy by improper
cooking and the finest Arabian Coffee
may be so prepared in the kitchen
that it will come to the dining room
weak and nauseating. 1t is peculiar
ly unfortunate for q new article to
receive blow by the cook, in the
way of careless preparation.
Postum Cereal Good Coffee If
boiled Is minutes and with enough of
it in the pot to make the beverage
the deep seal brown of thick Mocha
is a most charming and delicious
breakfast coffee, which changes to a
rich golden brown when pure cream
is added and tastes like the milder
and more expensive grades of Java.
Any one who has had an unfortu-
nate experience in the first brewing
Postum, may depend that the fault
is in the kitchen and can easily be
remedied by following the printed di-
rections. 1t is quite as easy to pre-.
pare as ordinary coffee.

Price for Residence Telephones
Reduced.

AT meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Napoleon Telephone
Company last Saturday, a notice of
which will be found in another col
umn, it was decided to reduce the
price of telephone servie in residen-
ces. The Company have now a
written contract with all residence
patrons Of $15 per year for the serv-
ice, contract good for two years, but
having decided to put in so more
phones they have reduced the price
of residence phones to 81 month,
payable in advance. This price will
take effect May 1st, '97, and will only
hold good to those who will have
telephones in their residences by
that date.
This is a step in the right direction
and it is safe to say the. company
will have customers for the entire
number of phones before the 1st of
May.

How to Live, How to Save and

counting the cost expecting
something to turn up; to strike
some scheme or to find some
thing which will not only en-
able them to pay their debts
but make them wealthy, He
who surely follows this plan
will just as surely come to
want. He who calculates well
will, at the end of the year,
see what his expenses and in
come have been. Ii he finds
his income has not been suf-
fcient to meet his bills and lay
up a small margin besides, he
should begin to look around
and see where he can cut down
best. The past year has been
a hard one on every one of us
and this year we will all have
to cut down our expenses.
There are many ways in which
a man can save, that little
here and a little there will soon
amount to large sum. For
instance, when you go to buy
your Drugs, Books, Oils and
Paints, Wall and Window Pa
pers, go to Saur & Balsley's
Drug and Book Store where
you will always find a large,
nice stock to select from. Get
their prices, then if you are
not suited 60 elsewhere and
see if you can not do a little
better. Always go where you
can get what you need (not
what you want), for the least
money.
Messrs. Saur & Balsley have
had over thirty years of con.
tinuous business experience in
their line, and have always
made an effort to buy goods
at the very lowest cash prices.
In the drug department. every
thing is kept nice, new and
fresh; no old remedies allowed
to accumulate and only those
which have been tried and
proved, are recommended by
this house. In the line of
Paints, Oils and Varnishes the
best in the land is always Sc
cured and sold at the lowest
prices. Wall and window pa
pers, cloth shades and fixtures
are made a speciality. Every.
thing in the line Of School
Books, Miscellaneous Books
Blank, books for all kind Of
tradesmen, Pass Books, Mem
oranuums, Diaries, Writing Pa
per, Stationary, ETC., you will
always find complete and SOLD
at bottom prices. Trusses, Sup
porters, Shoulder Braces ano
Surgical instruments Of all
kinds kept constantly on hanc
and can be furnished on short
notice.
During this season a specia
price will be put on all paints
and oils to get room for the
spring stock. 1t would pay
you to lay in a supply.
