BAD WoxEN.-The Davenport papers give
an account of 1.-TWO frail females" who, when
arrested, gave their names as Maggie Cuhn
and Mary Bowman, and pretended that they
were residents of this city. They were on q
drunken spree, driving at furious rate,
about town, much to the terror of pedestrians
and behaving in a very unbecoming manner.
On being taken to the police court Maggie
was 40 drunk that she laid down on the floor,
while Mary swore like q trooper, and declared
that no Davenport police court could get a
cent out of her. Promising to leave town
immediately they were let of.
They don't belong here, but they fooled
the Davenport police couyt by claiming to
live In moral and respectable city.

REDUCTION IN PRICE
of the
American Watches.

American w aGCnoS.
Made at Waltham, Mass.
In consequence Of the recent great decline in
gold and slver and all the materials used in the
manufacture of our goods, and in anticipation of
q still further decline, we have reduced our
prices to as low point as they can be placed
WITH GOLD AT PAR,
20 that no one need hesitate to buy Watch now
from the expectation that it will be cheaper at
some future time. The test of ten years and the
manufacture and sale of
MORE THAN 100000 WATCHES,
have given our prod uetions the very highest rank
among time keepers. Commencing with the de-
termination to make only thoroughly excellent
Watches, our business has steadily increased as
the public became acquainted with their value,
until for months together, we have been unable to
supply the demand. We have repeatedly en-
larged our factory buildings until they now cover
over three acres of ground, and give accommoda-
tion to more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in stating that we now
make more than one-balf of all the Watches sold
in the United States. The different grades are
distinguished by the following Trademarks en-
graved on the plate:
l. "American Watch Co.. waltham, Mass
2. "Appleton, Tracy Coz Waltham, Mass.
3. s'P. s. Bartlett, - waitham, Mass.

b. Our next quality OF Ladies' w atch 70 named

The American Watch Co., Of Waltham, Mass,
authorize to state that without distraction OF
trade marks or price
ALL THE PRODUCTS OF THEIR FACTORY
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
to be the best tIme-keepers of their class ever
made in this or any other country. Buyers should
remember that unlike the guarantee OF a foreign
maker who can never be reached, this warrantee
il good at all times against the company or their
agents, and that il after the most thorough trial,
any watch should prove detective in any particu-
lar, il may always be exc changed for another. As
the American Watches made at W altman, are for
sale by dealers generally throughout the country
we do not solicit orders for single watches.

THE annual review of the fire departm emf

which was good, of course.
Mayor Truesdale addressed the irsmen in

The O'Donohue gave our people an exhibi-

throwing water, which was quite satisfac-
