cause it is true, and because it indicates
that the spirit Of patriotism is not wholly

hoped that Pres. Garfield will continue
the work of reconciliation.

stronger government than ours. It is

Making Watches.

Defective watch cases are one of the chief
causes of so many watches not being good
time pieces. sThe cases being thin and not
fitting we'll, admit dust and dirt to the move
ment, which soon interferes with t. he running
parts Of the watch, necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out II
applied toward buying good case IN the
beginning, would have saved all this trouble
ana expense. We have recently seen case
that meets all these requirements, 1t having
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. Werefer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT Sr1FFENED GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles of the jew

advantages over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates of solid gold over

readers to ask their jeweler for a card or cat
alogue that will explain the manner in which
they are made.
1t is the only stiffened case made with two
plates Of gold, seamless pendants, and center.

THE decapitation of Collector A. G.
Smith is the cause of much rejoicing on
the part of the Albert Lea Standard, aud
a few other papers. In it they see the
future downfall Of the object of their
hate, Mark II. Dunnell. But they arc
deceived. The manner Of Mr. Smiths
removal is worse than any ofthe politica
moves charged against Mr.. Dunnell. it
we may believe the contents of letter
published in the Spring Valley Vidette
If Mr.. Smith has not been good officer
and has failed to attend to the duties Of
his position, let him be removed. If he
has been faithful officer, and has been
decapitated for spite, of course the Stand
0rd will rejoice, but the act is not worth
of rejoicing; if to weaken Mr.. Dunnell
the attempt is questionable one, ane
will not inspire the highest confidence
in the Presidents Civil Service policy.
