Prizes on Patents.
How to get $500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people 10
keep track of their bright ideas We offer
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to us the most meritorious invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the
National Recorder, "a weekly newspaper, pub.
lished in Washington, D. c., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States ana is devoted to the interests of in.
ventors.
NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult;
this deluson the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Unfor.
tunatcly such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the Car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way Of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through us, and whether he &C.
cures the prize or not, the inventor wi II hav
a valuable patent.

Two Michigan Boys.

The following Washington dispatch in
Mondays Detroit Tribune is of local in
terest as one Of the two congressman
elect mentioned Chas. A. Townc, is for.
mer Owosso boy:
A few years ago two bright young
Michigan boys started at the bottom OF
the social and financial ladder TO hew
out for themselves name and a place
among men. Neither had wealthy or
influential friends to push him along, but
each had what is still better-brains,
pluck aud acknowledgements they
made the chips fly in all directions. 1t
very soon became evident to their frien Is
that they were natural born orators, and
40 nobody was surprised 20 learn that the
boys had decided To become lawyers, and
good ones. too.
At about the same time the boys, who
we're, and still are, warm friends, al
slough not residents OF the same city,
laid still other plans d firmly resolved
that if life and health were spared them
they would some day come to Congress
and that they would make q desperate
effort to DC sworn in as congressman at
the same time
On this congressional proposition they
shook hands, and then pitched in TO put
their resolves into practice. Both OF the
Young men were admitted at the bar in
due time. but long before they reached
their majority their eloqueDce and nat
ural oratory had made them in demand
as public speakers, and the republican
party had no more able champions than
hey.
One located in a western state and the
other remained in Michigan. Legal bus
mess came to them in abundance, and
soon tho two friends were classed among
the prosperous and rising lawyers of their
cities and states.
Last yearthe twofriends were nominated
by their party for Congress, and after q
vigorous campaign, in which each not
only spoke at every principal point in
his district, but all over his state, both
we're triumphantly elected by pluralities
of 10000, in districts heretofore close,
and now represented by democrats.
And thus, when the next Congress is
organized these two friends will have re-
allied their long ambition, and William
Alden Smith, OF Grand Rapids, Mich.
and Charles A. Towne, of Duluth, MIMI.
will stand up together and take the oath
rs members of Congress from two of the
most thrifty and hustling cities in the
whole country. Messis. Smith andTowne
are now in the city, and wore comparing
notes on the floor ofthe house yesterday.
Neither is much, if any, more than 35
years old, and they will therefore be
among the youngest members of the
Bfty-fourth Congress.

Lockport, N. Y, Special Telegram, Feb.
20.-The sensational examination OF Wilbur
Sheldon, of Flint, Mich, charged by his
widow cousin, Mrs. Mary Claffin with Grim
inal assault, reached startling climax to-
day, as the case proceeded and the details
of the assault in the morning hours, were
told.
The defendant grew nervous suddenly.
He exclaimed: I'll marry her. His attor-
ney expOstulated in vain and the Michigan
man eXcitedly said. ''clear the court room,
your honor, and Ill make this woman Mrs.
Sheldon"
A circle was formed around the plaintiff
and defendant, who joined hands amicably
enough, while Justice Robinson pronounced
the fateful words. The two attorneys
signed the marriage certificates as witnesses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sheldon marched out of the
court room arm in arm amid the cheers of
spectators. The happy couple will reside
at Flint. Mich.
