How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. InaSoLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stifen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case ~ ~ mvv
which hsaves the WASTE of need & 8
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

Alphonso Karr was lately q guest at
dinner of some homeopathic physicians
at Paris, when, after toasts had been
honored to Hahemann and to the great
lights of the science now living. he was
asked to propose toast. :Gentlemen,"
he said, "you have drunk the health of
many physicians, but there is one toast
you have forgotten. Permit me to re-
pair this omission, ] drink to the health
of your patients" !"
The large advance in the price of
sealskins lately reported from the Lon
don market was explained by the an
nouncement that the catch of seals this
year has been very small, The San
Francisco Chronicle denies that this is
the fact, and asserts that the Alaska
Company, which is permitted under the
lease from the Government to kill lOO,-
900 seals annually, has killed more than
10000 this year.
Miss Jennie Flood, the California heir
ess who is reported by London paper
to be engaged to a British peer, is in

Grant, but claims the match was broken
off by mutual consent The lady is
worth $2,5OO,O00, invested in govern
ment bonds.
New York Sun, Dem: The judgment
of sober men will be that in the present
temper of the public mind neither New
York or Connecticut nor New Jersey nor
Indiana can possibly be carried on the
free-trade programme. Louisiana will
certainly vote against it, and Georgia
and North Carolina will do likewise.
Indeed, the only states that can surely be
relied upon to give Democratic majority
under such circumstances are Kentucky
and South Carolina.

LAKE MILLS.

The death of Lieut.. Commander g. w
Kennedy which was noticed last weel
was caused as near as can be ascertainec
by aneurism of the pulmonary artery
resulting III a fatal hemorrage. This
however, had been preceded and was ac
companied by great suffering from rheu
matism affection. He was born January
10, 1916, at Canestota, New York. His
father died when Charles was 5 years OF
age. Shortly after this bereavement, he
with his mother moved to Lake Mills
Wisconsin, where he lived until he was
fourteen years of age. He then went tC
Chettenango, New York, to attend
school, since which, leaving he has only
been at Lak9 Mills as visitor for three
months or less at a time. After two
years schooling at the Polytechnic In.
stitute at Chettenango, he was appointed
to the Naval school from which he grad
uated in the summer of 1864.

JEFFERSON.

The case of Kemmeter and Auman
against Pete and jim Vaughn, William
Friday and others for assault and battery
mention Of which was made last week
came on for trial before Justice Krebs
last Friday, and after progressing one

Auman, ten to Kemmeter and all the
costs of the prosecution, amounting IN
the aggregate to $l63 "a.
The Directors of the Jefferson County
Bank held a special meeting last Satur-
Gay, at which all were present. The OBJ
i ct of the meeting was to receive the
resignation of f. Mcmahon, the cashier,
and appoint another in his place. Mr..
Mcmahon has been the cashier for the
past twentv-four years, and has given
satisfaction not only to the directors, but
to all who have mad business with the
Bank. He retires from the service of
the Bank In order to take charge OF a
similar institution at Bismarck, Dakota.
The best wishes of all our people go with
him and bis amiable family to their new
home in the far west for their future
happiness and prosperity. The Direct
ors elected Hon. w. p. FOrsythe, OF this
city, as his successor, and their choice is
wise one.

The British Museun. is to profit by the
discoveries lately made in the Saxon tu-

discoveries are the remains of a complete

In 1880 France had only 115 umbrel-
lawmakers, and their business did not
amount to more than 100000 a year
In l947 the number had increased to
2O4, and their business valued $2,000,-
600. Last year the umbrella and sun
shade makers of Paris alone numbered
4O8, and they employed I,600 men, who
turned out $2600,000 worth of umbrel-
las, etc.
The common belief that population in
the West India Islands is stationary or
declining is so far from being accurate
that as Sir Anthony Masgrave, Governor
of Jamaica, points out in his recent re-
port, it is increasing at a much more
rapid rate than the population Of the
United Kingdom. The statistics OF pop
uIation in the islands show an increase
of 16 per cent. on the last decennial pei
iod, while the increase in the United
Kingdom in the ten years preceding the
last census was under IL per cent.
This large increase appears to be general
Throughout the islands, and is only very
slightly influenced by coolie immigra-

LET THE CONVENTION NOMINATE. =
In view of the premature bringing out of
presidential candidates and the effort to
create boom for thems the Boston Jour
nal sees the necessity for delivering the
following lecture: 'The nomination of
the Republican candidate for president
should be left to the Republican Nation
al Convention. So far as possible it will
be wise to select the wisest men in the
party for delegates, with instructions to
nominate the strongest ticket that the
party can name. The way not to do
this is for the busy friends of few men
who have been named for the honor to
devote themselves to securing delegates
for their favorites. There is but one
question to be considered in connection
with the candidacy, and that is, 'Who
is the man who will command tho unit
ed support of the Republican party and
that large body of independent voters
who prefer to vote the Republican tick
et?' The man who can get that vote in
the Northern States is quite sure to be
elected"

GETTING TO BE BELIEvED.-In 1877
Roscoe Conkling said: The true polite
al question of this country is not be-
tween parties, but between civilizations,
each type of civilization utilizing party
organizations as an instrument. The
line of demarcation is as thoroughly geo.
graphical, and the conflict along the
line as irrepressible now as in the time
of Mr.. Seward. Mr. Hayes policy, pre-
dicated upon the idea Of breaking the
solid South, is farce based upon a chi
mera. No political effort or experiment
will prove effective in disrupting the sol
idity of the South. The question now
is, and twenty years hence will be,
whether the Northern majority shall con-
troll the destinies of the country in peace
as it has determined them in war, or a
Southern minority regain by diplomacy,
exercised upon weak minds, what it has
lost through force welded by strong
arms,

JOINED IN ETERNTTY-MILLERsBURG,
o., December 11.-Last Monday Miss
Mary Lemon, of this place, only Is
years of age, was stricken with paralysis
and survived but few hours. She was
engaged to q young man named John
Arnold, living but two miles from her
home. She requested to see her intend
ed husband before she died ard he was
sent for. The young man repaired to
the bedside of his intended, and, al
though not permitted to carry out the
marriage contract entered into by them,
the young man placed upon the finger
of the dying girl wedding ring, at
which she exclaimed. 81 will carry
that with me to the grave, and you will
come soon, too" The strange part of
of the story lies in the fact that young
Arnold died yesterday, and the funeral
will take place at the same hour on
when that of his afficianced occurred
one week ago. The young man was, up
to yesterday morning, in apparent ro-
bust health. Shortly after eating break
fast yesterday morning he was stricken
with paralysis and died within two
hours.
