The above cut conveys q 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 q
price that all veterans NAV enjoy the pos
session of handsome, durable, and accurate
Waltham and Elgin Watches. The GA r.
Watch is either a 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, compensating expansion ball
ance, patent safety pinion, stem winding
and pendant-setting apparatus, full plate, q
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 ont 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 GAR" 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 a thought will come to his
mind of the boys in blue who never saw
GAR" badge, but who gave up their lives
In battle. This watch is well worth double
what we ask for 1t, but we have placed the
price 80 low that all may get it. We will
send it for q club of 10 subscribers and SIS
added money.

No. 81. MEMS SIZE ONLY.

We propose to herewith discontinue our
watch called Elgin's Pride" No. 102, and
to substitute therefor watch made by the
Waltham Company, which we believe will
not be open to the objections which have
been made to the other fancy-dial watch SO
extensively advertised and sold by us. The
hands upon the "Elgin's Pride" were i'm
ported, and great difficulty was found in
fitting them to do satisfactory work. In
our new watches these difficulties have been
obviated by the genius of American work
men, who in all cases of competition have
proved their superiority.
The difficulties we encountered in making
up the "Elgin's Pride" have thus been OBJ
waited by the new product of the American
Waltham Watch Company. The hands and
dial of the new watch are made by the
methods which have proved American me-
chanics famous in this as in all other
branches. In the watches we offer, the
movement, also, is made by the Waltham
Watch Company. This watch will be fur
nished in same fancy engraved case as
Elgin's Pride" The works are jeweled in
all important parts with precious stones, the
regulator is of an improved pattern; the
hair-spring is made under Logan's great
patents; the dial is handsome beyond our
powers of description, and altogether the
watch looks like 500 time-piece, from
which nobody but an expert can distinguish
it, and that only after a most searching ex-
animation. The case is made of solid gold
in two thick plates, stiffened in between
with q sheet of very strong composition
metal. The case guaranteed to wear like
solid gold for Is years. In every way this
watch is bound to prove one of the most
and satisfactory articles we have
yet sent out.
This watch is the famous thin model, and
resembles the world-renowned Waltham
I" Riverside" in all important points. We
will sell this watch to subscribers only, de-
livery guaranteed and prepaid, as follows:
Full jeweled hunting-case $50
Full jeweled open-face $lS
Seven jeweled hunting case $35

LET US COTE TOGETHER.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
Continually the papers in general
are talking about hard times, lack of
confidence and danger of the future,
but does such kind of talk help? II
anything is wrong, the first that
ought to be done is to change matters
so as to prevent further calamities.
Large number of men are at present
out of work and this in the best time
of the year. Let such 60 on for an
other three months, which will take
the last cent out Of the working
mans pocket, then the cold, long
winter to come on, and what shall be
done? 1t seems that now is the time
to create work in some shape instead
of waiting until all is frozen up and
no help in sight. For this reason the
citizens in general ought to come to-
gether, talk matters over in a manly,
business like way, and see if some
thing can be done to help.
We live in a country second to none
we are blessed with good crops, we are
blessed with health. what then is the
matter with us? A lack of confidence
is the most. Don't let us at present
look too closely to politics. Our rep
resentatives in Washington are for
that purpose; but we at home let US
hold together, and not in harsh way
blame this one or that one, as such
will not help; but in place of it make
matters worse. But let us come to-
gether and help ourselves here at
home before it is too late. Our coun-
Gil ought to call citizens meeting at
once, and without doubt something
can be done to help many through the
coming winter without too much SUI
fering. CITIZEN.

THE BERHING SEA DECISION.
sold Hr ALL DEALERS IN MEDICINES.

While the United States did not
win everything it desired in the Ber-
hing Sea arbitration at Paris. it has
no particular reason to feel grieved
over the result. The American claim
to exclusive jurisdiction in the
Berhing Sea was denied, as it was de-
MED that England recognized Russia's
claim to such jurisdiction prior to the
transfer to America. The court &C
cords a close season from May l to
July 81, and fixes protective zone Of
sixty miles. The season of pelagic
sealing is limited to the period from
August to May outside of the pro-
tective zone, and the use of firearms
in seal hunting is prohibited. This
it is said will save thousands of seals,
as the poachers depended upon the use
of firearms, and failed in securing all
the seals they shot. This is a most
favorable point to the preservation Of
the seals. Thus America is recognize
ed as having proprietary right and
it's claims are granted to an extent
which will give it power to protect
the seals from ruthless extermipation.
Advices from Washington state
that the decision gives satisfaction to
the authorities there, while Mr.. Glad
stone is reported as stating in the
house of commons that the result is
satisfactory. OF course it will not
please the poachers, but that was not
expected in the first place. To those
who are interested in the preserva-
tion of the seals the peaceful solution
Of the difficulty will be hailed with
the greatest of satisfaction.
The result marks another victory
for the progress which has been made
in settling international disputes by
arbitration and makes it Just that
much easier to proceed in such cases
in the future. The case had reached
serious point, and hotheads might
have thrown the two countries into
war, but wise counsel prevailed and
the decision of yesterday is the result.
Both nations have had to make con-
cessions, but this is better than to
resort to the force of arms, and the
influence it will have upon the world
for peace will be worth many times
more than the points either nation
had to give in.

ARE IN BETTER SHAPE.

The cholera arrived in the lower
bay at New York this year about
three weeks ahead of last year, but it
is noticeable fact that it caused
very little if any cOmmotion. One
reason for this is, undoubtedly, the
prevalence of the disease in various
parts of the world during the past
year, has accustomed people to it,and
again the medical authorities in this
country have been adding to our de-
fenses and, encouraged by the victory
they won last year, feel that if the
utmost precaution is observed, they
can cope with the dread disease sue
cessfully. Take it for instance, so far
as Minnesota is concerned, DR.. Hew-
lit, secretary of the state board OF
health, states that all immigrants
coming by the $500" and Neche
have to be notified by name and des-
tination to him. He also states that
danger of infection by way Of Canada
has been greatly reduced and is con-
stantly growing less. Communication
with quarantine authorities are now
direct and all danger from infectious
diseases is promptly reported, Local
boards are also kept better informed,
and are doing better work. The next
six weeks is admitted as the most
critical time, and the utmost precau-
tion should be observed.

TO THE EDITOR: aaks Cd
President Cleveland has been re-
Gently endorsed by the public press
of nearly the entire country for his
strong, manly and patriotic stand for
the relief of the country from it's pres
ent deplorable financial condition.
The Democratic party last year So
licited the votes of all the people who
have and exercise the right of Suf-
frage, upon the plea that we as peo-
pie are terribly tax ridden. The ma
jority so decided. We are now in full
possession of the knowledge that the
commercial and industrial affairs of
our country are not in thrifty con-
dition. 1t is conceded that there is a
virtual StagnatiOn in all lines OF COM
merce and trade. There has been
within the last few weeks a very
heavy shrinkage in values in every
thing except possibly real estate. 1t
is known that all men IN business have
commenced to retrench. Expenses
must be reduced at all hazards. Wage
earners every where get the notice
"cut in wages" and no employment.
Our president says that a public
Office is public trust, (which no
man can deny.
Admitted for the nOnce, that Mr..
Cleveland is a great big patriotic man.
that the Democratic party is all that
it claims TO be in the way of patriotic
motives and impulses; admitted that
they desire soon to restore public con-
fidence, and send men to the FORCES
and looms again with renewed VigOr
and force.
But if this is a business administra-
tion and public office is public
trust" why not commence the act OF
retrenchment in the same manner
and form that all American business
men have adopted by cutting salaries
according to grade from the Presi-
dent down to the lowest grade of en-
ploye in the public service.
Why not.order the secretaries of the
different departments to 60 at once
and discharge at least twenty-five
per cent. of their employees through
out the land?
AS it requires law to change the sal
aries O the great mass of public Off
Gals, Congress is now in session, why
not enact laws at once cutting the
salaries from ten to twenty-five per
cent. of all officials under the govern
ment?
Let us retrench. And as that is
the order let it be done promptly and
at once without fear or favor. X.

THE Washington correspondent OF
the Pioneer Press writing upon Mime
sofa congressman has the following to
say of the second district representa-
tive in the house:
Prof. J. T. McCleary, of the second
district, is another young Minnesota
man who bids fair to become first
class member, and is much above the
average new member seen in this con-
gress. Prof. McCleary has never been
an active politician, but in the second
district he became known as an ad-
Vanced and liberal educator, and dis
played those abilities which convinced
the people that he would make good
congressman to succeed Mr.. Lind, who
voluntarily retired. The professor
is deep student and has not confin-
ed himself exclusively to the text
books of his profession, but has made
1T part OF his educational work to
acquire and disseminate knowledge of
everyday events and economic history
to the present time. In congress he
will be at disadvantage, for time,
that all the new members labor un-
der, and that will soon bring it's re-
ward. Both Tawney and McCleary
came here with well defined ideas,
and while possessing the requisite
amount Of assurance to enable them
to ask for what they want they do not
have that freshness and gall which
sometimes characterlzes the new
member who wishes to appear vigor-
Gus and ready to raise himself out of
that slough of oblivion which many
new members fall into and remain
during the entire session
