The above cut conveys a good idea OF
one of the great GAR. Watches made
expressly for our subscribers. So many have
called for them that We have at last decided
to sell these elegant Watches at SO low y
price that all veterans may enjoy the pos
session of handsome durable and accurate
Waltham and Elgin Watches. The GAR
Watch is either Waltham or an Elgin, as
the purchaser may choose. The works are
made from the finest selected material. Each
contains eleven valuable jewels, tempered
steel springs, compromising expansion bal
ance, patent safety pinion, STEM winding
and pendant-setting apparatus, full plate,
dust-band that excludes every particle OF
dust, quick train, jeweled balance, selected
porcelain dial, and all the latest and greatest
improvements. The case is made Of nickel
silver, a composition just as handsome and
durable as coin silver. The case is dust
proof, and need never be opened, because
the Watch winds by turning the crown
Tor stem, and sets by pulling it out till it
clicks, then pressing it back into place after
setting, wonderful feature that makes this
Watch unique. On the back Of this case
the &C. "A. R." badge, the emblem of glorious
service, patient suffering and triumphant
victory, is engraved by hand. As the for
tunate purchaser sees this beautiful reward
of patriotism thought will come to his
mind of the boys in blue who never saw q

Whacker, q rancher, residing three miles

killed by his wife at Z O'Clock this morn
ing. The shooting was aggravated. and
the wife in public opinion, was justified in
her action.
The murdered man was IS years of age
and his wife about 80 years old.
They had been married about six
years and had two children. About
three years ago, when the first child
was 1 year old, Mrs. Whacker was COM
PEELED by her husband to return TO her pa
rents in Europe, who are reported to be
wealthy. She remained there about one
year. when a longing for her child
impelled her to return to this
country. Whacker, it seems. bore
no love for his wife, and
after her return he began to abuse and ILL
treat her, being dissipated in habits. He
frequently went home under the influence
Of liquor and scandalously mistreated her.
On Tuesday he imbibed freely and con-
tinued his debauch until Wednesday
morning, when he went home, threw Lis
wife out of doors after blacking her eyes.
and locked tho door on her. She
remained hid in the woods until
Saturday morning. when solictude for
4-months-old infant and her other child
prompted return to the house. Her
Husband knocked her down with a chair,
and then ran from the room. He shortly
returned and resumed his attack, when
Mrs Whacker seized shotgun and sent
. charge through his head. Whacker
owned q good ranch, and was moderately
thrifty.
