NEW ADVERTISEMENT.
B. e. B,

The extraordinary and gen
erous support that has been ac-
corded us by the people of
these two cities and surround
ng country for over q years
has been phenomenal, and is
highly appreciated. Was this
liberal patronage merited?
Most certainly, or we would not
have had it.
We must have given the
people good values for their
money. This large patronage
caused us to provide more
room for the great growth of
this Drygoods business and the
large new store additions just
completed and now occupied

eral floors upstairs and down.

DTainsprines of Watches.

Most mainsprings Of watches are still
made in Switzerland Of the very finest
quality of steel, absolutely aawless.
Very often the matchmaker can detect
bad spring before putting it in the
watch, either by it's color or the softness
of it's spring. These have been too
highly tempered in the making, and in
stead of being subjected to merely red
heat the fire has been brought to white
heat, thus weakening the strength Of
the metal. In spite of all this, how
ever, mainsprings often get cranky,
just like people," as watchmakers say.
In very hot or very cold weather they
often lose their temper, and unlike peo-
pie they do not regain it.
After the recent hot spell one jeweler
in New York city had seventy-nine
watches brought to him in one day to be
fitted with new mainsprings. Damp
ness long continued is as bad, and In
England they do not as a rule last so
long as in this country. A severe thun-
der and lightning storm also frequently
proves disastrous to the durability of the
spring. The cost Of new handspring
is the small part of making such repair.
1t is the putting them in-the labor ex-
pended-that costs.

During a local option election in a
western town both sides had a challenge

fraudulent votes were sent in. A work

vote. An "optionist" committeeman
challenged his vote. The Celt was
sworn to truthfully answer the ques-
tions quito him.

Clara Morris.

Said an attache of the theatre one
night as Clara Morris was nearing the
conclusion of her play: sit will be 10
o'clock before Miss Morris leaves the
house. When the curtain falls on this
act she will sob and scream all the way
to her dressing room, and there she will
sit for an hour rocking back and forth
until she gets quieted down. Then she
will put on her street costume and leave
the theatre"
Apropos Of this shall never forget the
first night Of ''Jane Shore" Don Piatt's
play, at the Brooklyn theatre. Clara
Morris was interested in the play and
practically produced it. It was failure,
largely due to imperfect rehearsals and
the most scandalous Encouragement it
has ever been my misfortune to witness.
Morris was frantic. Through the per-
Torrance, as she began to realize the in
evitable result, her excitement became
almost uncomfortable.
The curtain did not fall on the last act
till nearly o'clock.
was there by special invitation Of
Miss Morris. After the performance we,
with her husband, Harriet, adjourned to
an oyster house to get some supper. She
was too nervous to eat when the food
was put before her, SO she ordered Har-
riot to have fry put in box and bring
it home with him. We went out. We
walked up one street, down another,
Harriet following us all the time with
the fry in the box. It was nearly 4
o'clock before the poor woman was quiz
eted and she could be induced to go
home with Harriet and the fry.
Walking those Brooklyn streets that
bitter winter night l learned more of
Clara Morris than had ever known be-
fore.
What learned has no place in print,
but may say this, that from that time
l have looked upon her with deeper
feeling of respect and deeper feeling

INDIANS AND CHOLERA.
How Cyrus Rowe Maine Man was Cured
in 1S5O.-A Wild Ride over Western
Prairie-Tedious Waiting for a Sick
Man who would not Die.

Speaking of the cholera said an old
Forty-niner to the PRESS the other day,
reminds me of a case that came to my
knowledge in 1850. 1t was during the
great rush to the gold fields of California
when so many hundreds toiled across the
plains in the huge wagon trains of the
day. I myself passed over the route
from Council Bluffs to California in 1850
and know something of its hardshlps.
The cholera afflicted the pioneers, raging
in the wagon trains; and the freshly
made graves of the victims became very
frequent landmarks along the great trail.
Among the pioneers of that year was a
Maine man, Cyrus Rowe, of Belfast. He
was for a long time editor of the Repub-
lican Journal of that city, and an able
and prominent man in Waldo county.
The cholera ragged severely in the train
in which he travelled, and when in the
midst of the great prairie Mr.. Rowe was
attacked. AS the train prepared to start
early in the morning, Rowe was SO SICK
that death seemed sure in the course of
an hour. In order to avoid delaying the
train and to give the stricken man
peaceful death, one of the fastest teams
of the train was left with it's occupants
to stay by his tent and give him decent
burial when death should have done its
work.
'sAs the sun rose over the prairies the
wagon train slowly crawled along on its
journey, and the watchers took their
station by the door of the tent, within
which the moaning and gasping Rowe
seemed to be breathing his last. From
time to time one of the watchers would
look into the tent and then report to his
companion: He isn't dead yet, but he
soon will be-
''This was the report for one hour, two
hours, three hours, though apparently
each breath would be his last. AS the
time slipped away the watchers began to
grow anxious at Rowe's unexpected pro-
crastination. The wagon train was
getting many miles away, and the prairie
was not safe place for lonely white men
in 1850.
Presently all their apprehensions were
realized. Dark, moving specs appeared
On the horizon,-the bands of Indians
that continually lowered around the
wagon trains. 1t would not do to re-
main longer for Rowe to die. The In
dams would have the scalps of all of
them if they did.
''After hurried consultation they de-
cided not to leave the sick man, although
| it seemed certain death to move him. So
they hastily laid him in the bottom of
the wagon, and whipping up drove at
| full speed after the wagon train. The
Indians gained on them, but in despera-
ton they urged their team onward at it's
utmost speed, the sick man bounding
from side to side as the heavy; springless
wagon flew over the rough ground.
FINALLY they overlook the train, and
the danger of the pursuit was over.
Then they turned expecting to find a
corpse in their wagon. To their aston
ishment Rowe was much better.
HE continued to improve, and saw
him in California afterwards. 1t was
thought at the time that the shaking UP
he got did him good. But do not kno "
as should recommend such treatment,
even for cholera"
