A New Watch.

We were shown by our popular
young Jeweler, l.. F. Capshaw, few
days ago, a new make of a watch
which he is now handling, and which
from its many superior points, is
bound to have a large sale. This
new watch is manufactured by the
Columbus Watch Co., and in the first
place is perfectly dust proof. 1t is so
constructed as to require much
lighter main spring than the ordina-
ry watch, therefore being less liable
to breakage, and insuring a more
uniform time keeper. The Balance
is placed at the side instead of center,
so as not to be effected by any unusu-
al pressure on the case. Notwith-
standing the superior excellence OF
this watch, it is sold at as low a price
as other MAKES inferior to it in con-
struction. If you want a fine time
keeper, go to Capshaw's and look al
the Columbus Watch.

Post Office.

There are no new developments in
regard to the Postoffice, neither is
there any particular bitter strife for
the position of postmaster. Seyeral
Democrats have made application for
the office, and their applications are
backed by the names of many citi-
citizens. The present postmaster, G.
w. Trask, was appointed for four
years, and his term of Office expires
about the latter part Of December of
this year. The office will then be
vacant, and the position will be
given to some Democrat of this coun-
ty. One Democrat has just as much
right as another as regards the office
no more and no less. Only one
Democrat can be successful. Every
Democrat who is fit to assume the of
fee, and would like the berth, should
file his application. If he is success
full all right, and if he is not success
full he has no right to think he has
been defrauded, because the Demo-
crat who proves successful has just as
much right to the position as any
other Democrat in the county. Some
ask, as it not violation of the civil
service law to appoint Democrat to
the position of postmaster of this
city ?" We believe not. The present
postmaster is not discharged; he will
not be kicked out of office. He was
appointed for four years, and his
term of office expires next month.
He has served the public faithfully,
and he has made good postmaster,
and given general satisfaction. He
was polite, attentive to his duties, eff
fciont, and very accommodating Of
fetal. The Democrat, who will sue
coed him, will be expected to serve
the people just as well. He must
serve the people acceptably, and he
must be Democrat. AS regards the
ARGUS, it does not intend to take
sides in this question. 1t wishes all
the Democratic candidates the best of
luck. 1t hopes each one will do his
best to get the position, honorably,
fairly and squarely. There is one
thing that we think is but right.
Every Democrat who desires the Of
flee should say so. There is no dis
grace about applying for the position.
The Office of postmaster of this city
is an honorable and important one.
The salary, clear of expenses for rent,
clerical help, wood, lights, ETC., is not
very large, considering the response
bility of the office. 1t will be be-
tween 81 900 and 81 200. The great
of the Democrats in this
county are not DESTROYS of the office,
and those applying for it will not be
numerous. They should, however,
make themselves known, so that their
Democratic friends will know who
desires the position, and so they can
express their opinion as to which is
best fitted to serve the people. AT
present we hear of but two candi-
dates who have openly expressed

their desire for the place. They are
Chas. Lynch and Geo. Nj. Slusser.
Both are well known. We do not
believe either will make bitter
fight for the position, although the
friends Of both parties are doing
their best for the candidates.
We do not take much stock in the
clark horse" business. If a Demo-
crat desires the office, and he knows
he is fit for the position, and believes
he would be acceptable to the people,
let him file his application. Let him
come out boldly and make as vigor-
Gus a contest as he can, but if he is
not successful, do not let him consider
that he has been defrauded, because
some other Democrat has been appoint
cd.
The ARGUS wants n good postmas-
ter; an accommodating postmaster !;
an efficient postmaster, and one who
will not forget that he is there to
serve some 10000 people. We wish
the applicants fair race, an honora-
bic and lively contest, and may the
best man win.

amazement at the many evidences of
civilization that were about them.
The old bear had many questions to
answer, regarding the houses, streets
and fences. The electric lights filled
them with amazement and the old
bear had hard work to prevent the
cubs from climbing the electric lamp
poles and examining the electric
lamps. They paid visit to Mr. Ray
burns residence, on Second street then
passed by Mr. Comstock's house and
viewed the Central building. They
then meandered down State street,
inspected the gas works and regained
their home amid the trees. well pleas
ed with their adventure. The only
damage received was by one of the
cubs. 1t was walking leasurely down
a sidewalk when it met a barber.
Fortunately it was very dark at that
place, and the barber installing the
cub for pig, gave it kick. We do
not vouch for the kicking story, but
tell it as we heard it. We expect
that these adventurous bears will
write to the ARGUS and give their
impressions of the part of Alpena
they visited. We also cordially in
vite Mrs. Bruin and her progeny to
to again visit Alpena; but come in
daylight, as the city can be seen to
far better advantage than at night.
We promise them a warm greeting.

Three Bears Visit this CITY.

Bears are numerous in this county
this year and they appear to be some
what of an inquisitive and adventur-
Gus nature. Last week two well de-
veloped cubs became possessed with a
desire to visit this city. They had
heard wonderful rumors regarding
Alpena city-how enterprising the
citizens we're; how the city was
progressing; they had seen the
bright twinkling of the dazzling
electric lights; they had heard faint
echoes Of the delicious music of the
Germania band as the winds waited
the melody to their arborial retreats /;
they had heard of the gas works of
the fine palace steamers that called
at the port, and had been told won
derful stories concerning the newly
paved streets. Those two cubs deter
mined to see Alpena or die. Their
mother, fine, full grown bear, tried
hard to persuade them not to 60 to
the city. She pointed out the dan
gers that they were liable to meet |;
of the deadly Winchester rifles, and
Of the traps, gins and pitfalls they
might stumble into, che told them
pitiful stories how many of their re-
latives had fallen victims to mans
rapacity and how their carcasses had
been hung up before Hanover's store.
The young cubs refused to heed the
old bears warning, and seeing that
they were determined on making the
dangerous trip. tho old bear said she
would accompany them. Life would
have no further charms for her if her
children were slain. Meyer again
could she take pleasure in extracting
hogs out Of farmers pig pens if her
much beloved cubs we're slaughtered.
The three bears therefore set out to
view this city, and on Friday night
last they crossed Potter's track and en-
tered the First ward. They rambled
about that part of the town. and the
young cubs were filed with wondering
