THE NEW PATENT DUsT-PROOF STEM WINDING OPEN FACE CASE. MANUFACTURED BY THE
  American Watch Co.,, wALTHAM, MASS.

This case is formed in one solid piece without joint or seam, opening in FRONT ONLY, thus avoiding the usual CAP, and securing greater strength and dura- bility.
 These Watches are all OPEN FACE. The bezel, into which an extra strong crystal is fitted with an especial ly prepared waterproof cement, is attached to the case by screwlng it thereon, and thus forms an air tight junction with the body of the oase which is proof against dust and moisture.
 To railroad men, travellers, miners lumber-men and others who are almost constantly exposed and who have to make frequent reference to the watch, these qualities are of the utmost importance.

The following letters tell their
 own story:

VALDosTA, GEORGIA, July 20, 1889.
 "I sold one of your Patent Dust Proof Cases about ten months and the other day came back to with the request to make it wind easier. On exami- nation found that the stem rusty and inquired Into the cause of it. The gentleman stated me that he was starting sawogs that had lodged in the bend of the river, when his chain caught in bush and threw his watch into about twelve feet of water, and he was about two hours finding it. When he got it out it was running, and he thought all right. In about three months he found that the stem was lard to turn and sent it to me.
 can say that the watch is all that the company claims for it, and recommend it to all railroad and mill men. B. W. BENTLEY"

"A BLESSING IN DISGUISE g
ASA ADELPH1 ST., BRooKLYN, N. Y.,l

- March ZS, 1851.
 No family should be without ALLoooK's PoR- ous PLAsrERs their healing powers are won- derful and their efficacy far reaching and last ing. For years past have seen and known them to cure and relieve the most obstinate and distressing cases of rheumatism, kidney complaint, bronchitis. neuralgia, lumbago, in- fammation of the lungs and throat, paralysis, asthma, spinal weakness, and coughs and colds. In my own case they have afforded me almost instant and permanent relief. My friends consider them an invaluable and speedy remedy for all kinds of aches and pains. They are blessing in disguise; and no wife or mother should be without them if she values her peace and comfort and freedom from nervous exhaustion and other ailments As strengthening plaster, also for backaches and weaknesses, they have no equal. have never yet found plaster so eficacious and stimulating, or to give so much general satis- faction. Used in connection with BRAND RETH's universal life-giving and ife-healing PILLS, no one need despaia of speedy res- toration to good sound health.

The safe of Ansel Arnold & Co.,, grain dealers of Willimantic, was blown open and robbed of its contents about midnight Friday night, 9th. The burglars secured $2O, 900 of non-negotiable paper and bonds, 1000 in government bonds, and $7O in money The firm live in the block, and heard slight explosion and jar about mid night, Nothing was thought of this, as the constant switching in the rear of the block makes much noise at times. There were no marks of entering the store, and 1t is believed that the door may have been left unlocked. The contents of the safe were $50 in cash and $15, ,OOO in certificates of stock. The burglars left BIO, 1000 of stock certificates on the office floor. The entire inside lining of the Valentine & But Ter safe was blown off, the powder being forced into the key hole. About o'clock in the morning, g gang of five persons was seen leaving the blaze at the track of the Providence division railroad. For sev- eral days a number of suspicious persons have been seen hanging about the place.

CLINTON, Iowa, April 29 1881. Fl wish you would send me spring for the Wm Ellery Watch. By the way this Ellery Is watch sold in your Screw Bezel Case to farmer last fall. The first of January he lost the watch in the weods and found this week in about one foot of water. It had lain three months and over in snow and water, with but slight injury to the watchonly hair-spring. CS RAYMOND,n
 The above were very severe tests, and demenstrats beyond doubt, that for any reasonable length of time during which a watch might be under water it would receive no injury whatever

Never Too Late to Mend.

1t is never too late 10 mend. Not long
since this was made the subject of an
editorial in this paper, and while we
thought then that the best thing Tor all
concerned was that Arthur sh Duld start
out on the principle of reformation and
that this should be 10 lowed by the
United States Congress in a reform in
Civil Service we hardly dared to hope
for any such thing. But there is at
least one step in tn s direction. The
dismissal bv President Art ur of the
employees of the Government who have
used their Official positions to shield
men who have robbed the people of
millions of dollars, and to defeat tho
ends OF justice. although made ut too
late day to convince the general pub
lie OF the genuine sincerity OF the prose
cution by the Administration, is never
theless commendable as it is better it
we e done late than never The clos
ing comments in the Attorney-G Generals

removals, is n sad commentary on
the low state to which the moral at
mosphere in Washington has fallen
within the past decade. 1t is said that
no one not a resident of Washington

could be invented to hinder him and his
associates n their WORK of bringing 10
justice the Star-route thieves. He saws,

ment employees to the thieves; a. ONE

informed of all this several months ago
by eX-Attorney-General Wayne Mac
