A SHINDY.-Bernard Macarthur,
formerly q resident of Ottumwa, but
now Of Alton, made apersonal assault
on L. s. Barker, jeweller, ON Front
Street yesterday, striking him twice
apver the head with a cane. Fortu-
94ately for Barker he happened to
ave an unloaded pistol in a show
use near by, upon going for which,
Macarthur skedaddled at a furious
hace tor tall timber. Barker sued
mt a writ before Justice Graves is
ned to Marshal Wood, who found
he beligerent Nc. at the Depot anx-
iously awaiting the departure Of the
Western bound B. 4 NJ. train. He
VAS found substantially guilty OF the
charges herein alleged, and fined ten
Collars and three dollars cost. The
hacas originated in an old personal
6rudge for which both parties were
equally to blame. We derived these
bets mainly from Mr.. Barker and
rom his appearance at the time, we
ire inclined to the opinion that his
POUNDS will not prove fatal.-From

AMERICAN
Waltham Watches.

The true value of Machinery applied to
Matchmaking In not that by its use
Watches are made rapidly, but that thoy
are made correcly. Very few people
know why Waltham Watch should be
superior to any other. In the first place,
at Waltham the Watch is regarded as only
machine, to be constructed like any
other machine, on mechanical principles.
II the watches are good, It Is because the
machinery is good. Ofcourse there must
be no defect in the principle or plan Of the
movement-no mistake in the sizes or
shapes Of the pieces ofwhich it is compos-
ed-nothing wanting in their properties,
points once thoroughly settled, 1t rests
wholly with the machinery, constructed
with infinite diversity of form and function
expressly for the purpose, to produce the
finished pieces, BY means ofmultiplying
guages and microscopes, tests and fnspec-
ton for the detection of wear In the cut
ting tools, and for faults and flaws In steel
or stone are made to accompany the work
lin every stage from beginning to end. Az
10 necessary result, the watch goes togeth.
Ter perfect machine. Every part Is found
ITO fit properly. in its place, Every pin
imay be pushed till 1t pinchcs, and every
screw turned home. Instead OF q sluggiah
land feeble action, the balance, even under
the beat has the clear ringing sound al
characteristic ofthe Waltham Watch. The
machine is a timekeeper from the start.
This system Of Matchmaking is un-
known in foreign countries, and IL entire
" original with the Waltham Company.
The Company claim that by it they pro-
duce watches that cannot be equalled for
every quality which makes watch valu.
able. Simple in plan and correct In prin
ciple, the movement is not only beautiful
ly finished, substantial, accurate and
cheap, but il uniform in the minutest de-
tails, not easily damaged, and when re-
paired always as good as new. There are
different grades Of finish in the different
varieties Ofwatches made by the Waltham
Company, as there are different sizes and
shape to suit all tastes and means; but
every Watch bears the genuine trade
mark of"WALTHAM" is guaranteed to be
q good one, and nobody need be afraid to
buy 1t.
Every Watch fully Wasranted.
For sale by all first-class dealers in the
