The exit of the "nickel-in-the slot"
machines in Milwaukee is causing
some interest among the operators of
the devices in this city. 1t seems to
be the general opinion that it is only
a question of time when the suppress
sion of the machines will be enforced
all over.
This seems to be the era of silver
| weddings in this city and vicinity, and
scarcely a week passes without some
such event being celebrated Among
the notable happenings in this line to
occur shortly is that of Mr.. and Mrs.
| Theo. Huber on Saturday evening
next, April 2S.
C. A. Stallman has recently placed
in bis grocery store a beautiful onyx
soda fountain, manufactured by Otto

man does not mean to be behind in
the matter of fountains, and invites all
J his friends to call and inspect his

The Buchanan comedy company
concluded their weeks engagement at
Concordia Opera house Sunday evening
in "Home Spun Folks" Good houses
were the rule throughout the week. At
the Saturday matinee a silver tea set
was given away, Miss Henke, of 400
Eighth street, holding the lucky num-

! The Junior members of the St..
Berna rd's Temperance society will
present the Irish drama, "More
Sinned Against THANKSGIVING" at Con-
cordia Opera house this evening. An
efficient and agreeable performance is
assured by the young men, and they
expect to see a large attendance At
the close of the play social hop will
be given.
In another column ofthis paper ap-
pears an advertisement inserted by the
real estate and law firm of Skinner
& Thauer. They offer for sale the pro-
perry formerly owned by DR.. Valerius
& Co. The property is located at 700
West Main street, and is very desirable.
We should think this would be paving
investment for somebody, as there is
no store Of any kind in that end Of the
city and a commission or general store
would pay well. Somebody with lit
tie push could no doubt make money
in that loca ON.

The following item from The
Whitewater Register has something of
local interest, inasmuch as the Berlin
works, it will be rene mbered, merged
the plant Of the Watertown Machine
company into their own in the spring
of 1890, removing the machinery to
Beloit and giving employment to quite
a number of hands who had been
that some of our former citizens may
be among the victims below alluded to:
The superintendent of the Berlin
works at Beloit is free trader one of
those men who gets his politics out of
the schools and British text books, in
stead of from due consideration fthe
practical conditions of life in his own
country. During the campaign Of 1892
he assured his workmen that ifa Dem
ocratic victory was won the works
would be doubled in size. Some of the
poor fellows believed him and voted
accordingly. But the works were not
doubled, oh no; in fact they never
were run so light as since November,
1892 And the poor dupes who went
off milking rainbows are now hugging
their empty stomachs and hoping that
they may live long enough to vote as
much work back into the old shop as
they had before. They would be we'll
satisfied with that.

drews of the Bath Iron Works are the
guests of Mayor Bentley. President Ware
of the board of trade and influential citi-
zens, and are looking over the advantages
this city may have to offer as site for
the Bath Iron Works. The party today

as far as the naval station on the tug 1.
A. Scott, visiting points suggested as
sites for the location of the Bath estab-
lishment About 1000 feet of water front
and Is acres of land will be needed for
the plant. More than one such site was
pointed out to the satisfaction of the Wis

the land, the accessibility of the harbor
in winter. etc., were explained to them.
Messrs. Hyde and Andrews later sought
and received information as to sewers,

THE TURN OF THE INSURGENTS.
According to London Advices Every
thing Goes Their Way,

Including All Peixoto's Navy-But Tomor
rows Story Is Likely To Be Entirely
Different-London Editors All Worked
Up Over Benham and the Nasmyth
London, February %. - A dispatch
from Buenos Ayres concerning Brazilian
affairs says that President Peixoto has
stopped all telegraphic communication
between Rio Janeiro and Bahia. Reports
from Montevideo say the whole govern
ment feet, including the dynamite cruiser
Nictheroy, have gone over to the insur-
gents and sailed for Rio Janeiro. The
insurgent army of the South advances un-
checked. The government troops sent to
oppose it have accomplished nothing and
apparently fear to join battle with the
insurgents. Business men in Rio Janelro
are partially panic stricken. 1t is feared
the continued depression of Brazilian pa
per money may induce financial crisis.
A Bolivian force is reported TO have in
vaded western Brazil.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting on
the application OF the captain of the Brit
ish merchantmen Nasmyth to Admiral
Benham for protection, enabling the
Nasmyth to obtain supply of water in
the harbor of Rio de Janeiro, says: 'If
the commander of the British fleet at Rio
does not propose to protect British sub
jects following lawful vocations, it is diff
ficult to understand why he is there at
aIl.''
The St. James Gazette says: "Sureiy
Lord Rosebery does not acquiesce in the
\ =, ;oh+ IF ,rto
ton belongs to the United States. That
British sailors should be compelled to
seek the protection of Admiral Benham
is humiliating in the extreme"
Tie Globe says; admiral Benham is
doubtless atlibertyto bully the insurgents
as much as he pleases. But that is quite
different thing from offering most in
furious insult to the British navy. Unless
the story of his putting the Nasmyth un-
der the protection of the American flag
is untrue it should be the duty of the
British government to demand an imme-
diate apology from the government of
the United States for the extraordinary
conduct of it's officer
A despatch from Buenos Ayres, by the
way of Lisbon, makes an unqualified de-
NAL of the report that the insurgents
were defeated in their latest attack upon
Nictheroy. The despatch says that, on
the contrary, Admiral da CANA disabled
the government batteries and captured
al! their arms and ammunition, includ-
ing five quick-fring guns, II metralheurs
and 10 Mansur guns. and 1.5U9. 900 cart
ridges. The same despatch says that
government troops made an attack upon
Fort VillegalignoE, but were repulsed,
their launches and boats sunk, and 400
men killed.

If YOU TRAVEL ON A PASS.
The Supreme Court Says You Must Ride at
Your Own Risk.

Augusta, February 2.-The Supreme
court has rendered decision for the
defendant in the case of Marcia E. Rogers
VS.. the Kennebec Steam boat company
for damages for injuries received at
Bath, in Novem ber, 1880, by slipping or
a gangsplapk. The plaintiff was travel
ling on pass bearing u printed contract
exempting the company from liability
for accidents. The jury gave her a

house, overrules the verdict setting it
aside. The court says: such a contract
with free passenger that he shall ride
at his own risk is not prohibited by any
rule of public policy III this state, but is
and common right and all the cherished
interests of the law. 1t is effectual to
exonerate the carrier from liability for
the negligence of his servant"

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with breaking
ont on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. ltried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. / concluded
to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and bought
a box of CUTIoURA, a cake of CUTIcURA SOAP,
anda bottle of CUTICURA REsoLvENT. washed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied
CUTICURA. noticed change for the better IN
the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four
hours. continued the treatment morning ana
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely 1
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications of any eruption or breaklng
out since. gave the child only few doses Of
the CUTIcURA REsoLvENT. l consider your
CUTIcURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
to keep small supply constantly on hand, |

that he be prosecuted, l acted merely
from a sense of duty to the mercantile
world"
Mr.. Wiman was seen by a reporter late
this afternoon. He said he did not care
to talk about the case. He is feeling
better since he heard that his son, who
is dangerously i'll with pneumonia, is

a pile of about one hundred letters and
kilograms of sympathy received from

Yet Known = Iron Works oa ials in
New London.
Especial to the Press.1
Bath, Me-, February. 2.-The Republi-
can caucus in City hall tonight was a
jam. Chairman Rogers of the Republi-
can city committee called the caucus to
order; JIM. Hayes was chosen chairman,
and E. H. Kimball, secretary. The latter
declined and Howard B. johnson was
chosen. The call was for "all Republic
cans and citizens opposed to corporate
interests debating the government of
the CITY," On motion of ex-Mayor Moul-
ton, the present city committee was re-
elected with power to fill vacancies, of
which there are two, VIII. Sprague, de-
ceased, and VIM. Rogers, resigned. Geo.
W. Hunt offered a resolution denying the
right of leading members of corporations
to control the government of the city.
Resolutions advocating good schools,
reasonable appropriations but no gifts,
good water and no Androscoggin under
any circumstances, were accepted and
adopted as the platform of the caucus.
The question was raised as to whether
Mayor Shaw had accepted the nomina-
tion of the business mems caucus. The
mayor was absent and his decision was
unknown. George Moulton, Jr., W. G..
Webber and Charles L. Turner were ap-
pointed committee to count the
ballots. On the first ballot, ,J.W. Wake
field had 1853 and John o. Shaw 68. Wild
cheering greeted the result. HE. Stet-
son, VIM. Rogers and D. F. Pierce were
appointed committee to notify Mr..
Wakefield of his nomination. They re-
turned soon with Mr.. Wakefield, who
said: II feel most deeply grateful to
those who ask me to be their standard
bearer for the fifth time. 1t is the duty
of municipality to protect the interests
of corporations. but no corporation has
the right to trench upon the citizens in
terests. A few evenings ago representa-
tives of corporations met and formed a
party declaring as their platform that
corporate interests should control. The
water works, electric light and street
ticket. If you analyze it, you will find
their friends from beginning to end They
We're not seeking the interests of the
people. My position is that defeat
with a fair understanding is preferable
to success with misunderstanding.
MIR. Wakefield said he favored making
| appropriations specific, the money TO be
expended as intended and the looting of
the city treasury to be stopped. As to
the water question he said: II don't
think AnGaoscoggin water will be turned
in. The matter should never be settled
IN the cjty council, for twenty-e,ght nen
are easier Influenced than the general
public, but town Getting should be
called. Now to the polls. You know
what both tickets stand for. 1t is for
you to choose"
