How Watch Cases ere Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that Is solid
silver throughout The cap Of most cheap
silver cases is made OF composition known
as aibata, which is very poor substitute
fer silver, SIS it turns black In short time.
The backs OF such cases are made raEch
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed In order to make the cap
thicker and get In as much as possible Of
the cheap metal Another important point
in asilyer case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. These Of most
cheap cases are made Of silver, which Is
net suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, Lends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become hose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt tiiai accumulate In tie pocket The
Keystone SilyerW atch Gases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints

On Monday, January 21st, Fred
Fueiten, a man about 60 years old,
left his house in the town of Her
mon, Dodge county, to go into the
woods for load of wood. Several
hours afterwards, the team return
ing with out him, search was made
and his body found near by the pile
of wood. 1t is supposed that he
died of heart disease.
Every business man should keep
his name before the public in some
manner. The consequence is famil-
arity with the name and as a result
he gets the trade. If you can not
speak for yourself, who will speak
for you. Communicate with your
customers through your local papers.
They are the best kind of mediums
in existence for that purpose. They
can predict your future in a most
successful manner.-Ex.
The NJ. E. folks have re-arranged
their pulpit platform and raised it
about two feet additional in height,
SO that the preacher may have full
command of the congregation and
be distinctly heard III all parts of
the church. The choir will occupy
the platform behind the pulpit on
a level with the speaker. The
change is a good one and will no
doubt be appreciated by the large
congregations which attend to listen
to the new and popular pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Clough.
The lodge of United Workmen Of
this city is composed of some of our
most enterprising citizens. At their
last meeting they showed spirit of
philanthropy in reducing their mem
bership fee from $3.50 to an even
$1,000. This puts it now within the
reach of many who have heretofore
thought they couldn't raise the
amount required. We think the
above action shows not only spirit
of philanthropy, but in the long
run will prove a stroke of good
policy for their treasury.
The Railway age, of Chicago, says:
The Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul
company has issued a gazetteer Of
stations on all the lines of its road,
which form a considerable volume,
and suggests the extent of this great
system. We have taken pains to
count up the number of stations in
this gazetteer and find that it is no
less that 62S, representing an aggre-
gate population of 1,72O,542. This
gives an idea of the vast population
as well as the widely extended area
served by the Chicago, Milwaukee "
St. Paul.
Richland Republican,: The tax
matters of this town have become
complicated through the
of an action by
George Krouskop by injunction
against S. G. Hyatt. treasurer of the
town Of Richland, to restrain him
from returning his taxes as delin-
quent, pending the result of a suit
in the circuit court, to test the
of the assessment of 1888.
The ground of the action is an
alleged unfair assessment whereby
it is claimed that certain personal
was not included in the
assessment roll. The INDUCTION was
issued by Judge Downs, and the
result is waited with much interest
md curiosity by tax payers.

Freight Trains I'm Collision.

A Lockport On. " telegram OF Thurs
day says: For the past twrnty-four hours
Lockport has been shut off from railroad
communication with the east by oner6f the
worst railroad wrecks ever known on the
Central railroad, which occurred at
O'Clock last night at Murray, on the single
track branch, between Rochester and Nj
agara Falls. The facts were kept quiet by
the railroad people, and the matter
was not known until this afternoon.
Two trains, an eastern-bound freight
and accommodation and a west-bound
freight met on the same track while
at full speed, and in an instant fifty
three loaded freight cars were derailed
and two engines were shapeless mass OF
battered iron and steel, with twenty cars
piled upon them. Two wrecking gangs
have been working hard ever since to clear
away the ruins and open the track for traf-
fic. but so far trains for Niagara Falls have
all gone around by Buffalo, or else trans
ferred at the wreck. The damage will be
over $4,000. The engineers and train
hands escaped with their lives by Jump
ing. One engineer, Charley A. Keller. had
three ribs broken. The operator at MUIR
ray caused the accident BY not holding the
west-bound freight at that station on a
siding, a. he had orders to do.

In q Steamers Wake.
fHpraId.I


William King, an Engllshman, who was
a Storage passenger on the Belgenland,
which arrived from Antwerp yesterday
morning, had an experience on the voyage
which ought to make him a temperance
man for the rest OF his life. He remarked
yesterday that he didn't know chow 1t all
happened" but the officers OF the steamer
supplied the facts. King. il is said, was
intoxicated when he went on board the
steamer, and drank energetically during
the first day out. Early the next morning
he went on deck and lurched overheard.
Luckily he was seen TO go, and the engine
telegraph was at once sounded TO "stop
her" and "back her." A white spot far
astern was deserted by those on the bridge,
and the second officers boat was lowered
and put back. but it was fully twenty min
utes before King was reached. He was
pulled into the boat completely exhausted
and half unconscious, and the steamers
doctor had an hour and half Of hard work
in bringing him to.
When asked aitcrward what his thoughts
were while III the water, King said he had
but one, and that was that he must swim
for it or he would drown. He was 4
strong swimmer and had tranquil sea.
