A LUCKY ACCIDENT.

Last Saturday morning James Nc
Kinley met with what might be called
a very lucky accident. He was as
sisting in the erection of a cement
stave silo, on the farm Of Charlie
Evers, one and one half mile south of
Lyons. Mr.. Vern Parker and Mr.
Mckinley were on the scaffold which
was about twenty-five feet high and
were helping to draw up, the top door
of the silo when the scaffolding broke;
Mr.. Parker caught hold of the silo,
thereby saving himself, but Mr.. Nc
Kinley, who is mite shorter than the
average could not reach it and
caught hold of piece of the broken
scaffold and with it fell to the ground
on the inside of the silo, distance Of
twenty-five feet. The timber to
which he held, struck on the scaffold-
ing on the descent breaking the fall
which undoubtedly saved him from
being instantly killed. He struck on
his head and shoulders in a pile of
sand, and was picked up unconscious,
in which state he remained for and
hour and half. DIR. Salsberry of
Lyons, was called and attended his
injuries; no bones were broken, but
a number of severe bruises found. Mr..
Mckinley was brought to his home, in
.Wauseon, in the afternoon, and is get
ting along nicely. but it will be some
days before the bruises are all heal
ed.

doing business.
The bank opened for business on
December 10th, 1889, with a capital
of $4,000, from this time until Dec
ember, 1906, it was conducted as a
private institution; on this last nam
ed date it was Incorporated as the
Peoples State Bank, beginning busi-
ness under this form January End
1907 with a capital of $4,000. Since
this time the bank has been subject
to the supervision of the State de-
partment. According to the examin-
ers this bank is conspicuous as one of
the few whose officers are depositors
and not borrowers. Nothing can add
more to the stability of a bank than
this, as anyone will take more chances
in lending money to themselves than
to other parties.
In 1910 the capital of the bank was
increased from $4,000 to 100000,
and surplus of $4,000 created.
For twenty years this bank was
managed by the same directors. The
first break came April 4th, 1910 with
the death of Mr.. Chas. C. Greenleaf.
Mr. Greenleaf was succeeded by his
son G. D. Greenleaf. On January IL,

THE VILLAGE BEAUTIFUL.

If single merchant in this town
were to adopt the permanent policy
of making his store attractive in all
possible ways he undoubtedly could
hold the best trade of his town in the
face of competition of every other
kind.
What is true of the individual mer-
chant is true of the entire village. All
it needs to hold it's trade and its pop
ulation is to be attractive.
Attractiveness if of many kinds
and is composed Of many elements.
Good roads, clean streets, low prices
and high quality will attract to and
generally hold trade for a village.
But shaded streets well sprinkled.
green lawns closely cropped. neatly
painted and well-kept houses and out
buildings reflect a diligence and pros
perity that are almost as persuasive
as some of the more tangible and
material appeals of cost and quality.
One may imagine, for example,
what transformation could be effect
ed in this town if every window on
its business streets were occupied by
flower box filled with beautiful
Towering plants. Yet the thought
need not remain wholly imaginative;
for at a comparatively small cost to
each individual merchant such trans
formation could be effected. Many

Representative Reighard, Makes An
Appeal to Governor Cox for Legis-

My Dear Sir:-Since you are to
convene the General Assembly of

/ respectfully direct your attention to
another subject of sufficient import
ance to be placed before this special
session of the legislature-th law
defining who can take part in the
primary elections and the Secretary
of States construction of, and ruling
upon the same.
The Secretary of State has recent
ly announced his construction of sec
tions 1880 and 1927 of the General
Code, with such conclusions and rul-
ings as would have the effect of de-
priving many citizens of the State of
their right to participate in the cleo
tion of candidates of their party of
their choice at the coming primary.
While his rulings and conclusions may
be law they are un-American. If his
ruling be correctly drawn from the

Mr.. Zina Eager transformed it into a

and rebuilt it until it as
sumed the style and appearance it
held before it was torn down in 1913.
Since that time there has arisen on
this site, by far the most artistic and
modern business building in Wauseon.
Vhe whole building is finely arranged
and nearly all of the store and office
rooms are rented and occupied. The
banking room proper is marvel of
beauty and convenience, beautifully
decorated and with wainscoting of
parian marble it must be seen to be
appreciated. As to the bank or
ganization, the building is in itself
testimonial to the fact that this bank
is one of Wauseon's successful institu-
tions and it is commendable, to say
the least that this banking house have
used a part OF their profits in build

much to add to the beauty and at

growing rather slowly during the

portance will be transacted.
