and secured bottle of it, His wife
Cid not approve of Mr.. Rowland's
purchase at first, but nevertheless
applied the Balm thoroughly and in
an hours time was able to go to

Miss POrter's 1,O0O-mile Bicycle
Ride,

Monday morning, May 81, from the
auditorium, Miss Annis Burr Porter
will commence her great bicycle ride
from Chicago to New York city. BE,
tween the two cities Miss Porter VIII
make nine centuries, as follows: Chi
cago to South Bend, Ind; South
Bend to Bryan, Ohio; Bryan to Belle
vue, Ohio; Cleveland to Erie. Pa.
Erie to Buffalo. N. Y; Buffalo to
Newark, N. Y; Newark to Utica;
Utica to Albany; Hudson to Yonkers.
1t is not Miss Porter's desire to
"make a record for woman's ride
between the cities named, as she VIII
consume II days en- route, but she,
like many other accomplished riders,
is century fiend, and opportunity
will be afforded her to add TO her al.
ready considerable possession of
bars" Much of the road to be
covered is sandy, much is. OF clayey
formation, and q considerable por-
ton is low and forest-lined. Partl-
cularly is this latter the case in the
oil region between Bryan and Belle
vue, O., where a cross-country run
has been laid out, to save nearly
17-mile sand run into Toledo.
Miss Porter will ride a diamond
frame light roadster Quaker, weight
81 pounds, fitted with Morgan q
Wright tires. She rides the diamond
frame wheel because its form gives 1t
a rigidity superior to that ofthe drop
frame, or woman's model. She will
dress in white duck boomers because,
first, the bloomer suit permits that
free exercise of limb, body and muscle
essential to continuous exertion with
out detrimental results. Second, the
material of which her suits are made
permits quick cleansing, and assures
the maximum of comfort and GOODNESS
to the rider. She will be attended
by woman masseur, who VIII &c
ahead of the rider and have every
thing in readiness for her comfort on
arriving at her stopping places.
In order that she will always ap
pear clean and bright, Miss Portol
will change her costume at least three
times d day. The pace won't neces
sarily have to be be very fast, be
cause she only expects to do 100 miie'
day.

There was quite lively time for
about five minutes in front of Shoe
maker Bros. store Monday noon.
John Knapp, OF Ridgeville township,
had hitched his team to the tele-
graph pole in front of the store and
his young son, Martin, was in the
wagon holding the lines. Mr.. Knapp
unhitched the team and jumped in
the wagon while the boy attempted
to turn out into the street. Making
too short turn the wagon upset
with the boy under it and Mr.. Knapp
was thrown on top of the horses.
Fortunately the team was held
while the boy was extricated from his
perilous position uninjured. Moth
ing more serious took place than a
bad scare to the bystanders as well
as to Mr.. Knapp and his son.

Resolutions of Respect by ChOate
Post L. A. K


The grim angel Death has claimed
another member of Choate Post !:

the close of the war as LIST Lieut.. Co.
D., and quarternaster of the 66th
Ohio, and as Captain and A. A. G.

zation. He was elected Post Com
mander and served as such for three

versary of the first meeting OF the
charter members, which was held
May 14th, 1881.
In civil life Comrade Randall occu-
pied positions of honor and trust un-
der the government. He was man
who was the love of al with whom
the was associated; he was. a friend
to everyone in need-wlth whom he
would divide his last crust and his
last dollar. He was incapable of q
mean act.
In his death Napoleon loses one oi
its most prominent citizens, the Post
a loyal defender, his family a loving
and devoted husband and father ano
the Post a whole souled and earnest
comrade and member.
Resotved, That we tender to the
bereaved family of our departed
comrade our warmest sympathy il
this their hour of affliction.
! Rcsoloed, That our charter b.
draped in mourning for 80 days il
token of respect for our deceased
comrade.
RESOLVED, That these resolution
be pub ished in the Napoleon paper
and a copy be presented to the fami
ly of our deceased comrade. Com.
