O'y AAAOAAA"S Jul O4A-
zens were waiting for the guests
who should assist in the great cere-
mony which was about to be per-
formed. All things were made
ready on the previous day, and not a
house in town, small or great, but
what was decked with emblems and
ornamentations, which a generous
and enterprising people deemed we'll
worthy of the occasion. Flags and
banners streamed gaily to the breeze.
Notices, wreathes and gilded dec
orations spoke as no words can of
the abounding gratitude of a pros
porous community that their mater
ial salvation was come. The bride
was already adorned in silks and
roses, and properly attended, was
waiting for the bridegroom.
In the early morning, the recep-
ton committee, consisting of J. l..
Neihart, G. D. Ladd and VIM.
Mueller, drove to Monarch to meet
the excursionists, carrying appro-
pirate badges for the visitors, and
also the meal tickets, which gave
them dinner free of cost. They
found nearly 500 people on the
train, which, from the state of the
weather, was to all a most agreeable
surprise. A merry crowd formed
the visitors. They had come to
celebrate in earnest and had thrown
formalities aside. Two coaches from
Helena bore splendid flags and
banners, the two notices reading,
"We Come to Set Another Gem in
Montana's Crown" and "Neihart-
Helena, Nov. Is, 1891" To the
credit of Helena it must be said that
her board of trade voted 800 to as.
sist in the excursion and also sent
some of her brightest lights to shine
upon us.
The train of FIVE more than loaded
coaches arrived in camp at 1880 a.
M, and royalty jolly crew stepped
upon the platform. The wind blew
through every mans whiskers, and
the frosty air Redeemed few noses,
but cheer upon cheer walked the
denizens of the gulch. VIM. Tier
ney was marshal of the day and
right we'll did he perform his duty.
He was ably assisted by FIVE other
marshals, Geo. E. Gum, Peter Nc
Gowan, Andy Salmon, w. w. Hills
and Moses Forget. Directed by
these marshals, the Neihart Cornet
band, at the head of the Miners
Union in full parade, and with Col.
B. L. Fitzpatrick as the gallant
standard bearer, the whole deputa-
ton of visitors and citizens marched
through Main street to the crossing
of the railroad with Keegan street.
Here the march ended. And with
heads bowed in solemn reverence
the assembly witnessed the
DRIVING OF THE SILVER SPIKE.
John McAssey presided in his able
and happy way. w. w. Praul de.
livered a few forcible words, and
little Mabel Brennan came forward
with the hammer with which she
dealt the strokes which make the
day and the occasion immortal.
Mabel Brennan, eldest child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Brennan, was
born June 16, 1884. When but 3
weeks old her parents moved into

Her finger tips glide DER the keys,
just kissing them to make them sing
!, listening, think Of flowers and bees,
And focks of birds upon the wing.
She turned her eyes, al full of light;
"Whst shall playf'' she archly said,
stopped and kissed her fingers white.
Her sweet face flushed charming red.
"Oh! play for me this Loves Young Dream
The sweetest song that e'er was sung,
! know that Heaven will nearer seem,
If you will speak in music's tongue
smile went ripping o'er her face:
A smile Of love and Joy combined;
Ny hopes, My music, she could trace,
And in my heart the dream would find.
As o'er tho keys her fingers glide,
Ibend and clasp her all my own;
The music family, softly died,
The dream was true, it had not flown.

Harmonic Your Interests,
and Settle Your Differences.

We believe it would be advisable for
all concerned, if the Pioneer Wood
Pulp Company and the NJ. L. Bensley
estate, represented by B. G. Chandos,
administrator, would get together and
talk over the differences as to water
power rights and damages and settle
them now, and stop any litigation. BY
this method they would save time and
expense and bring about a more friend
" and united feeling toward each other.
Perhaps with these smaller matters
settled an agreement or contract could
be entered into whereby first-class
timber and stone dam could be built
spanning the river at this point which
would make one of the best WATERFOWL
ers on the Wisconsin River.
The question of resting the Pioneer
Pulp Company's dam on Nine Acre
Island, owned bv the Benslev estate
has been settled in favor of the Pioneer
Company. Itappears unnecessary to
continue the fight further by cotnmenc-
ing other suits on other points. Let
both parties get together, talk the
matter over, and adjust their differ
ences by arbitration so that improve
ments to both powers can be made and
the interests of both concerns be bene-
fitted. Litigation can be continued
Indefinitely upon matters and differ
ences until doom's day, with no practi-
cal gain to either party, but loss to
each
We believe Mr. Chandos stands
ready to allow any legal adjustment of
damages that was incurred to the
Pioneer Pulp Companv's property by
the blowing out of that dam, also close
settlement of the other suits now
pending in several courts against the
Pioneer Company and Wood County
Pulp Company and have everything
amicably between them.
We believe if the proper spirit is
shown on both sides that settlement
can be had without any further ltiga-
ton. That this disposition will be
shown III the settlement of these
differences we will ever pray. We sin
cetely hope that the busines interests
of both cities may be SO united that
jealousy and selfishness will not be
evident in any transaction. $50 mote

Last FRIDAY evening at about half past

was over to the neighhors, Il hanging
lamp which hangs over Il centre table
in their sitting room fell striking a
standard lamp, lighted, which was upon

the neighbors it succeeded in burning
the carpet and a hCfe through the
sitting room floor; the carpet and a
Chair in the parlor; the newal post and
stair railing; besides burning the
window castings. 1t has of course scorched
and blackened the furniture throughout

Mr. Frank Huffman, a young man of
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had
been under the care Of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment

They pronounced his case TO be

persuaded to try DR.. Kings New

colds and at that time was not able to
walk across the street without resting.

he continued to use it and is to-day
enjoying good health. If you have any
throat, lung or chest trouble try it. We
guarantee satisfaction. Trial bottle

Miss Bessie Robinson has been
confined to the house and her bed
for four weeks or morea with liver
trouble which has puzzled the attend
ing physicians. While her symptoms
are somewhat similar to certain diseases
of the liver, yet the trouble is not
reached. Recently they have come to
the conclusion that the trouble is due to
Il pin which the patient swallowed
about eight years ago and 1t has lodged
itself in the liver and created in a
manner an absess or irritation which
may necessitate an operation for its
removal. She has suffered greatly and
at one time her life was in danger. At
this writing she is feeling some better.
Ladies beware of swallowing pins.

PINE LAND SALE.
John Aroin gives W. H. Upham
an option on 5000 acres.

Mr.. W. Fl. Upham, of Marshfeld, has
been in the City several days the past
week comforting with John Arpin and
Sons in regards to purchasing the Sher-
ry-Cameron tract of land lately pur-
chased by Mr.. John Arpin. He finally
obtained an option on said tract until
Saturday, January 24th. Consideration
is said to be S340 900.
We hope the deal will not be consum-
ated because it will take large business
away from the twin cities. Messrs
Arpin and Sons had already commenced
the preparations necessary for the cree
ton of an improved SOW. mill on said
tract, the business of which would be
carried on here, while Il this deal is
consumated it will go to Marshfeld.

THOUSANDS POISONED.

In a recent work on heart disease, DR.. Frank
lin Miles-the noted specialist-gives many new
and startling facts. Thousands of people are
slowly poisoning themselves, weakening their
hearts by the use of tea, coffee, tobacco and
alcohol. These are heart whips causing it to
beat rapidly, thus gradually wearing it out,
producing shortness of breath when exercising,
pains in side and shoulder, hungry and faint
spells. Finally heart failure and sudden death.
For weakened and irritated hearts the press
everywhere highly recommend the New Heart
Cure discovered by DR.. Miles which is for sale
at Woods drug store. )
