A Man Who Never Had Teeth.

A man who never in his life had a
tooth in his jaws was ut one time resi-
dent of Montana. This fact was brought
TO the recollection of an old resident of
this city by seeing a statement in an East
ern paper that one of the most wonder
full natural curiosities of the age is u
lO-year-old Georgia boy who never had
any teeth and shows no signs that he
ever will have any. The man referred
to above was 60 years old and had never
had teeth. His name was Joseph Bear
claw. He was resident of Alder
Gulch in 1864 and 1865. Although MT
lure failed to supply Mr.. Bearclaw with
teeth she tried To make amends by fur
nishng him with long, strong finger
nails and tOe-nails. which were almost
as hard as bone and fully an eighth of
an inch thick. Ii is not known whether
he got the name of Bcarclaw from the
or if that was properly
his name. He was from Illinois, to
which State he returned i'm 1865 or 1866.

ONLY about one:third of the States,
will hold elections this year, and asi
it is an .olf year" preceding a prcsi-'
Dental election, the course of the
voting States will be watched with
considerable interest. Rhode Island

uneqnivocally her intention To re-
main in the list of Republican States.
Massachusetts and Connecticut, of the
New England States will vote in
November. Connecticut will elect Il
legislature who will, choose Il success
S0r to Senator Plat. Massachusetts
will elect Il Governor, and we look
for her vote to show that one year
of Buttlerism is sufficient. \ double

Ohio, rs she votes not only for Il Gov
ernor, but will elect Il legislature
which will choose United states
Senator to succeed "Gentleman
George" Pcndleton. The present
legislature has fOrty-siX Republican
majority on JOINT ballot, and this the
Democrats will hardly overcome.
Iowa will elect Il Governor, and al
though the prohibition attitude of the
Republican party will estrange some
voters, the success of the regular
ticket there is undoubted. Pcnnsyl-
vania Republicans have healed their
difficulties and will win with fine
majority. New York promises to do
likewise. OF the Southern States

ed from their former position. The
Who'll" field presents much Of promise
to the Republicans, and it can he
traced to Il few causes: The almost
universal satisfaction which exists
with the administration, the wise and
conservative action of the last Con-
greSs, the prosperous condition of
national affairs, and the feeling which
prevails to let well enough alone.

How Watch Cases are Made.

This process ofmanufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This is the only ratch case made
under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
Unpopular prejudice against "plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
james Boss Gold Watch Case was not a
cheap gold-washed or clectro.plated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every Improvement
suggested, has made the James Boss Gold
Watch Case the STANDARD. ,s,or " NARY
In this watch case the parts . o
most subject to wear-the bO,v, crown, hinges,
humb-catches, etc, are made of SOLID GOLD.
