ACARD.-I have been to see Madame Nit
chell, at Central House, corner Chestnut and
Second streets. She has been the means of
restoring to me very near and dear friend,
after an absence of five years. All who are
| in trouble should consult her Immediately,
and they will never regret it. Mrs. LYONS,
| Saltwater, MINI.
1t is safe to say that the people of Still
water are more prompt to gather to an
alarm of any kind than those of any other
town in the State. Saturday evening beer
bottle exploded with loud report in the
Centennial saloon, and in one minute con-
siderably less than 1000 people were gath
cred In front of the saloon, each one anx-
iously inquiring what was the matter.
| Not ia day passes but someone tries to rent a
house to live in in Saltwater and fails to get
it. There is an opening here for capitalists
who would like to invest in real estate.
The demand for houses has always been
in excess of the supply in this place, and it
is wonder that more houses are not built.
Three different parties inquired of the re-
porter Saturday where they could find
houses for rent. This speaks we'll for Still
water, but not for its capitalists.
Last evening about 7:3O the boom broke
and about 100000 feet of logs went adrift.
They foated down the lake through the
bridge and are now scattered all over the
lake. 1t was getting dark when the acct
dent occurred so that no reasonable guess
could be made as to how much had escaped,
hence the estimate IN yesterdays GLOBE was
incorrect The break was stopped
but the probabilities are that
if the water continues to rise the whole boom
will be set adrift. Considerable anxiety is
felt by the logging men on this account. A
large force of men were put to work to once
to collect the scattered logs. If the boom
breaks again the loss will be great.
