ALMOST A CENTURY.
Dealh of a Man Who Served in the
Army of Emperor Xapoleon.
A LITTLE TOO LATE AT WATERLOO.
One of the Serenaders of a Married Couple
Fatally Shot.
HAM ROBBING IS A FA1I1LI AFFAIE
.TI-rCIAI. TELIOBAM TO TBS DISrATCn.1
Alliasce, O., Jan. 13. Tbc oldest man
iu Stsrk county has jnst breathed his last,
after almost reaching the centnry mark.
This death is of more than ordinary interest,
not only from the extreme aje of the de
ceased, but from the fact that he was one of
a Yery few survhors of Xapoleon's army
who resided in America. But one son sur
vives Inui, Mr. Philip Akins, Sr., of this
city. For the past three weeks deceased has
been daily growinc more feeble, though at
times it was hoped bis life would be pro
longed until he might round out a century
of existence.
Joseph Akins was born in Bellford,
Trance, on September 5, 1792. The first im
portant event to make a lasting impression
on his mind was the battle of Austerlitz, in
nhich Napoleon de eated the combined
armies of Russia. There is little wonder
tnen that young Akins at the tender age of
16 years was so elated with the victories be
ing achieved by Napoleon that he succeeded
in enlisting in the French army. He par-
JOSEPH AKINS, WHO SERVED -WITH NAPOLEON.
iicipated in a number of engagements, and,
while his division was ordered to join 500,
000 who went on that terriblv fatal cam
paign to Moscow, fortunately the order was
countermanded, else in all probability be would
neTer have lived to see America.
Napoleon was deposed by the Senate in 1814,
liuttbe soldiery was still ready to take up his
cause and obey his command, and when he
rallied his forces for a last effort against the
English the "Old Guard" were quick to
respond. hen the clash of arms came at the
battle of Waterloo Akins' division was only 30
miles distant, but arrived on the scene of
action too late to be of service Napoleon had
bad fallen. At the close of bis military
service Joseph Akins was married to Miss
Mary Mullen, and about five years there
after they emurrated to America, about
C5 tears ago. They first tettled in
Canton, where they resided for come 15 years,
and then removed to Pans township. Stark
county, residing there for 25 years. For the
past 22 year Mr Akins has been a resident of
Alliance. His wife died about 21 ears ago.
Fiiur sons were born unto tbcm, but only one
survives. There arc 24 grandchildren of the
deceased.
He seldom referred to his army experience
of late ears, but m earlier years would give
v ery interesting reminiscences of bis experi
ence as anchter under Napoleon. During his
last days on earth, while unconscious, he would
talk of oid army experiences, going through
the motions of drawing his saber, and calling
to bis comrades in arms to sustain the valor of
France and the leadership of their brave com
mander. Could he have lived to round ont a century
of life the event would tare been celebrated In
a fitting manner.

Club.
The annual election of tha Union League
Clnb, held Monday night, was very spirited,
according to all reports. Up to date the club
has been conducted on a "dry" basis, but some

won. George llimsen was elected against
the opposition of the dry contingent led by J.
Alex. Hardy. The Vice President, by virtue
of bis office, is one of the directors, and the

the board, and are expected to inaugurate the
change at once.

A Brilliant Woman Though Blind.
From tbc Mall and Times, Desiloino--, la. J
Mrs. Martha Habor, of Polk City, was in
Dcs Moines a few davs last week. Though
entirely blind aud advanced in years, she
has a mind of more than ordinary power.
She is thoroughly informed on enrrent
events aud has a large assortment of posi
tive convictions. She is a Methodist and a
Democrat It is worthy of remark that she
can say what no other person erobably in
Iowa can say, and that is that John "Wesley
baptized ber grandmother in Epworth,
England. The writer overheard ber in a
home on Twenty-sixth street advise a lady
who had a troublesome cough to "be sure to
get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. People
up my way think of it as the best medicine
for tnat purpose that is made. Mr. Sted
man sells it in my town and he savs it is
very popular." Mrs. C. H. McCauiey, of
111 Des Moines street, was present 'and
added her testimony to the value of the
remedy, saying: "Yes, Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is splendid. I have had it
in my lamily for years. It is 6uch a good
thing in case of whooping cough or colds."
The result was, the lady's husband went
down town to Crawford's pharmacy, bought
a bottle and the annoying cough, which
had prevented sleep to the sufferer and had
caused great anxietv to her friends, gradu
ally disappeared. The number of such
experiences are multiplying all over the
land as the real merits of these valuable
preparations become known. wsu

From Father
to Son
Through generation after generation, the taint
of scrofula descends through the blood, blight
ing life and hastening death. The great major
ity of cases of scrofula and other blood diseases
are hereditary, and therefore difficult to cure.
But we wish to state in the most positive, em
phatic way that Hood's Sarsapanlla does
Cure Scrofula
in every form. The most severe cases, too ter
rible for description, have yielded to this medi
cine when all others failed. The greater in
cludes the less and if you suffer from scrofula,
salt rheum or impure blood in any form, you
should take Hood's Sarsaparllla.
"Scrofula bunches in my neck disappeared
when I took Hood's Sarsapanlla." A. R. Kel

Tanners of Harness Leather Deny That a
Trust Is Being Formed. ,
A meeting of tanners in the harness leather
branch of the trade is going on at tho Monon
gabela House. The bulk of the business Is ex
pected to be transacted tday, when the mam
meeting will be held. One of the representa
tives inadvertently remarked that the tanners
intended to combine their interests In one com
pany, something after the plan of tha edge tool
combination.
When J. Dawson Gallery, of this city, was
asked about It. he denied that such a movement
was on foot. Mr. Cattery said tbey had met to
adopt some rules about selling, and the ques
tion of prices would not be considered. It was
not the intention tp give the newspapers any
information about the meeting. About 25
representatives of the trade from all parts of
the i country aro expected. ,r .,
Mr. Callerv said th hnctnnss was fair. Most
of the tanners in this city make harness
leather, and are represented in the gathering.

SHOES.
It's the cUeapest in anything, but particularly in an article subject
to the constant wear that shoes are. The only reason that people don't
bay the best is on account of price. We have been offering all the sea
son some wonderfully cheap shoes, cheap because of serviceable quality
and not in price alone. At this, the end of the season, we have many
broken lots in which we have only certain sizes, and we are making
A GENERAL CLEARANCE
By offering them at prices which do not fail to attract those who appro
ciate bargains. We'll name a few. The department is full of them.

20 Per Cent Discount.
Too Many Goods Dictate
To-Day's Prices.
Our clothing touches the mark for extra value at both
points. Lower prices and none but high qualities.
We can't keep our goods. We wouldn't willingly have
put our dollars into half a million too much clothing if we
saw the loss ahead. To-day, and until further notice, there
is a clean allowance of 20 per cent off your purchase of sea
sonable clothing, no matter how large or small the amount,
for either Ready-Made or Made-to Measure Clothing. It will
pay you to help us out if you need clothing for a year to
come.
It will pay us in losing our money quick and getting
done with it We say to our patrons and friends, BUY
NOW and SAVE MONEY. Inferior clothing has little
chance for trade till we are done with this sale.
The regular selling prices are marked in plain figures
on each garment; you just pay 20 per cent less than you
see on the ticket. See us to-day. You'll marvel at the lit
tle money our reliable clothing costs you.
