dependent on the public for its financial sup

How APUZZLE Was SOLVED.

When you want certain article, you want
The best make of that article. don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is What puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you.
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
Ard you would like to hear of one puz
zle that has been solved for The people OF
the whole worl,i, wouldn't yon?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1889 at
Paris, France. the best sewing machines of
the world. including those Of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon bya
jury composed Of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts. two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers OF France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudgel that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president Of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle CT the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor of the No and No. IL Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 8, for family use, and The No. 10,
for manufacturing uses, are the best in the
world to-day.
And now. when you want sewing ma
chine, if you 10 not get the best, it will be
yonr OWN fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. 0 Wheeler & Wilson machine. and if he
does not keep them, write 10 us for dcscrip-

Heavy Rainfall.

A severe storm passed over this
place last Thursday afternoon that at
one time threatened TO rival the flood
of a year ago. The run which passes
obiquely through the town and in
many places covered with an arch,
was not large enough to carry off the
water, accordingly there was an over
flow near the corner of Third street
and Chamberlains alley, and all the
cellars in that vicinity filed with mud
and water. At the lower end of the
town ]. w. Mears & Co. were forced
to stop their Washing Machine Fac
tory and Planning mill
The citizens living along this run
have made frequent demands to have
the arches enlarged, but their demands
are unavailing. The matter should be
investigated at once, and if the town
should make the changes, let it be
done before another storm comes or
If the individuals who erected the arch
es are in the fault then let the evil be
correced byan ordinance i butinnocent
parties ought not to suffer from the
faults CT others. A dozen or more
families suffer with every heavy rain
fall, not only are they losers in money
value, but their health is sacrificed to
an extent not to be computed by dol
lars and cents.
