Last Monday, in the court house, there was
big demand for corkscrews by the judges,
clerks and deputies. The few who were
minus such implements of domestic use had
to resort to borrowing from their neighbors,
and the result was that old screws, rusted by
long disuse, were fshcd out Of their hiding
places and made to do duty. The cause Of
this onslaught on the corks was that II. l..
Hossack, proprietor Of the Ottawa Mineral
Springs, presented to the court house officials
samples Of his bottled Sanicula beer. The
newspaper men were not forgotten and were
all supplied according to their capacity, and
oil voted the beverage royal healthful, boss
drink for man, woman or child.
