I The soft weather following the cold j of the past few days may melt enough j snow to raise the level of the river | , and cause a break-up of the heavy ice j* which now lays over the surface. In which case it will be necessary for i the various railroads to safeguard the < railroad bridges, after the usual cus- 1 tom by placing watchmen on duty. > “Paid in Full, a play of contemporary American life, by Eugene Wai- < , ter, will be played at the Bosse op- 1 era house, Tuesday, February 27th by ■ a company of exceptional merit. I . With the sixtj commandment as its moral theme, the play is said to get < very close to life. It is written in the | every day speech of the everage I American and is said to be both dar- i ing and deeply impressive. The other day a certain Willshire- * ite was standing near the depot . when a freight train passed. There 1 ■ was a green flag on the engine and he asked what that meant. He was : told that it meant that another was ' coming. Last Sunday afternoon the ' | questioning man and his wife were' I seen coming dowm the street wheeling j ! a. baby cab. on lhe front of which I proudly floated a green flag.—-Will- . shire Herald. Those who attended the play, "The ■ Girl of the Golden West” at Ft. Wayne j last evening report it one of the best I plays In the theatrical line ever wit-j ! nessed by them, and one to which the | ( arlge cities have sit up and took nc- l . tice. Its gorgeous scenery and cost- j 1 lj’ gowns and excellent orchestra, ; | along with the splendid array of the ; best theatrical talent on the road, is I without, doubt the best the’ has visited Fort Wayne for some time. j All kinds of stories are being tcidj of the difficulty which is being ."Xpert i i enced on account of the heavy snow , drifts along the way. Joe Palme", from j .south of the city, says he left : vo‘ buggies stand in the yard the day be-1 fore the coming of th-: snow, and is I now unable to locate one of them, it; < being entirely coveted. eTier Milolr, j living two and one-half miles south of the city, had the time of his life I iin reaching this city Thursday. He I left home about 10 o’clock, and did , not arrive here until about 2:30. While many people in the city have great difficulty in ploughing through ' the great snow drifts, they have only n very faint idea of the condition of the highways in the country. On the -. Monmouth road north of this city, be- £ tween the A. J. Smith farm and the ] W. E. Smith farm, it is said there B were no less than fo.nr or five wagons y and rigs stalled. The drivers attempt- } ed to make their way through, but be- 1< coming stalled were forced to aban- „ don their rigs unhitch their horses I and proceed alone with them. Thursday several of the men went back to El the scene of the vehicle abandon- m men! with shovels and attempted to 13 “un-snow” them in this way. Among V the vehicles abandoned there were ' the dairy wagon of Mr. Krill and the | mail wagon of S. S. Magley. \

l;ur Gu irantee We garantee our Ortiamentai Wire and Steel Picket Fence to Ite made from firslclass material throughout, and in a manner that reflects credit upon the workmanship. Further, cur experience and opability justify r.s in guaranteeing complete satisfaction. and you may examine any shipment from us at your railroad station, and if not wholly as represented you may refuse the shipment and order it returned to us at our expense.
Or, you may accept the Fence, erect it on your property, and if you , are not fully satisfied, you may return it to us, and your money will be j promptly returned. ( We desire to be honest in our dealings and honest in the construction . of our Fence, and it will be our pleasure to protect you against a purchase that is not fully up to our representation and your perfect satisfaction. We use 40 to 60 Carbon Steel for Posts and Top Rail, others deem common gas pipe (even second hand) good enough. We put more cable line wires in our Fabric, which gives it greater strength and compactness, and makes it the heaviest made. We overlap our pickets at the top in such a manner that it is impossi- , ble to bend their tops. We use the lead annealing process in the manufacture of our wire which makes it tougher, and we double galvanize it that it may have a long life. ' We use malleable iron for post and line rail ornaments. Therefore they do not break. We use extra heavy cast post ’ uses, which hold the Fence perfectly Our top rail passes through intel mediate line rail ornaments and extends from one corner, end, or gate post to another corner, end, or gate pest. This insures a perfect and lasting alignment of the Fence.

All are intertwisted and interwoven to make a strong weave. The interlocked and overlapped arch of the picket makes it impossible to bend the out of line Notice the double picket running full height of Fabric in this design. It is unquestionably the strongest formation possible, and we commend it to your judgment. We have a heavy cast collar which thoroughly clamps the post to bases; which makes the post setting very strong. We thoroughly paint all parts of Fence, except Fabric, before it leaves our factory, and furnish extra paint to touch it up after erection. All posts and line rail ornaments are finished in silver bronze or white enameled as desired. We build it accurate to measurements given, and furnish very plain instruction telling how to erect. Therefore, it is easy to place in position, and no iiiatter how little experience you have had, it is sure to be perfect We could name many more reasons, but the above have made us many friends in the past and are securing us orders over competition every day.
