LEVIED ON BANK FUNDS.

Lima, O., Feb. "a climax which
was sudden and unlocked for was reach
ed today in the American National
Bank case, when an execution was is
sued and the funds of the bank of Lima
were levied upon to meet Judgment
rendered in the verdict of the jury
against Messrs. Kalb and Michael,
Cashier and Vice President of the de-
funct institution.
Attorneys for the directors of the
bank, who brought suit to recover the
funds alleged to have been stolen on
the night of December 25, 1898, institut-
ed the proceedings, and the execution
was prepared by the County Clerk and
placed in the hands of the sheriff, who
entered the bank shortly after2 O'Clock
and practically took possession.
Mr.. Kalb after the bank closed at
2:30 O'Clock, stated that the business Of
the bank would not be interfered with
| in the least, as he had given bond fol
/ the full amount, S19, 9,069.O4. The case
| it will be remembered, was tried in the
| Common Pleas Court, and the plaintiff
awarded the full amount of the suit
Kalb and Michael appealed to the Cir
cult Court.

PRACTICAL
A New Proposition on the Sew
age Question.
That Will Meet Many Objections
And Give the Sewerage that is Most
Needed.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN +:

1
| The old part of town, the sixteen
squares of which the town was orlgl-
nally composed, is the congested dis
| trict. 1t needs sewers worse than any
other part of town. A system of sewer
age for this part of town can be put in
for S15, 900, with trunk sewer from
the depot to the sewer farm OF sufficient
size to carry the sewage of the entire
city, in case complete system is ever
put in.
Do you believe the voters of our city
would permit the construction OF such
system on condition that a rental be
charged for sewerage, just as now for
gas and water and that such rental be
continued until it has paid all expen-
ses of constructing and operating the
system? Such a system at very rea-
sonable rental would bring an income
into the town treasury of somewhere
from 81, 900 to 81, 200 a year, and would
pay for itself long before the last bonds
became due, so that no tax payer would
have to pay anything on the system.
This proposition, know is not quite
fair to the central part of town, as it
would require that part of town to put
in it's own sewers, pay in full for them,
then make a present of them to the
city, and still be liable to be taxed to put
in sewers in all the other parts of town.
But needing sewers so badly, possibly
the people in the center of town might
be willing to do it. INQUIRER.

DeGraff schools, June l, 1895, and after
ward graduated from the Art Depart
ment of the Shepardson college, Gran
vile, Ohio. She was young lady of
talent, and large number of her beau
tiful paintings were given first prize
at our county fair.
November II, she was married to Dr.
Don Byron Swisher, son of Major Joseph
Swisher, our County Recorder, and for
two years and four months the young
couple made their home with Byron's
parents, and the young wife with
her happy disposition twined herself
round the affections of the new pa
rents, until the love between them was
remarkable, and mother and daughter,
each in her loving way tried to save the
other dear one. The going out of this
bright young life leaves a darkened
household.
She was a member of the M. e.
church of DeGraff, having united with
it several years since.
The funeral will be held Wednesday
morning at 1000 O'Clock, the services
to be conducted by Rev. 7. H. Campbell.
Interment in DeGraff.

SILVER WEDDING. INVITATIONS.

The approved and most general eel
ebration of a silver wedding is an after
noon reception, which may or may not
be followed by dinner party, as the
hostess chooses.
The invitations should be issued
three weeks in advance, on cards
printed in silver, with the names of
husband and wife. If for dinner the
invitation should say so.
The number of guests is a matter of
choice, and each invited guest is ex-
pected to send a gift suited to the oc-
casion, whether the invitation is ac-
cepted or not. There is added lustre
given to the affair by the attendance
of best man and bridesmaids of the
marriage ceremony.
