The people of Ely had the pleasure OF
receiving their San Francisco papers
last Thursday evening about 6 o'clock
instead of being obliged to wait until
the following morning. Mr.. Clenden-
ming informs us that their driver has
called at the Eureka postotfice between
$40 and p. NJ. every night that the
mail is brought from Palisade on the
buck board, but until Wednesday night,
was unable TO get the mail until the next
day. The trouble seems to lie with the
driver of the buck board and the post
master of Eureka The buck board is
due in Eureka at $3.50 on Sunday, We'd
nesday and Friday nights. If it fails to
get in on time, why is it not reported
and made to get In on the schedule? If
it does get in on time, why is it that our
stage cannot get the mail until next
morning? We hope that the schedule
will be hereafter adhered to and that
there will be no further cause for com
plant.

Daily Stage from Wells to Cher
ry Creek.

As a result of the petitions circulated
along the line some weeks ago, b. f.
Miller, the contractor, received notifi-
cation from the Postoffice Department
yesterday that, aftcr July 10, the mail
service on the route from Wells to
Cherry Greek will be increased from
three to six times week Stages will
leave both ends of the line every day
but Sundays at $3.50 A. NJ. and "A hours
will be allowed in which to make the
trip. In practise, however, when the
weather is fair, the trip is made in about
10 hours. A daily mail will no doubt
be very welcome to the people of Cher
ny Creek and our only regret is that
the department did not see fit to extend
it right through to Ely.

THE RACES.

After dinner the sports began. We
regret that we cannot tell in detail about
each race as it occurred, but space for
bids. With all the rivalry between the
friends of the contestants, not a clash
occurred, not an angry word was heard.
The potato race for girls was won by
Carrie Bellinger after a spirited contest
in which Sophia Munro and Katie Gra-
ham twice tied with her for first place.
The prize was 81.
In the sack race for boys, Angus
Holmes won easily. Prize 81.
Mr. Lane offered prize of 81 each
for three foot races for little girls of
different ages. The first, up to years
of age, was won easily by little Florence
Weber, who led from the start; the
second, up to 10yrs., was won by An
ME Bonner, with Carrie Bellinger a
very close second; the third, up to IL
yrs, was won by Katie McGill, with
Sophia Munro second.
A second sack race between Manford
Hayes, representing Ely, and Pat Bon
ner Jr., representing Lane City, was
won by the former.
The egg race by the ladies afforded
much amusement. Eight of Ely and
Lane City's young and charming ma
irons lined up for the start. Their hus-
bands got around and did some tall bet
ting. At the drop of the hat, eggs
flew and so did the ladies. But some
telltale gum in the spoon of the winner,
which we have since learned was '.un-
consciously" deposited there by gen.
tleman friend, necessitated a second
trial, which was won by Mrs. Bonner.

We Have Some Here.

This is the way the Elko Independ-
ent puts it. "It is rather amusing to
the editor of the Independent to be
hailed on the street and asked for the
latest news by people who never contri-
butte a dollar to the support OF the pa
per In any way. Their exhibition OF
gall is the amusing part OF the perfor-
nance, especially when they nearly
stretched their necks out Of joint to
catch a glimpse OF dispatch" that
some one else is reading and pays for.

HOW We CELE-
DRAFTED.
The Biggest JoIIifiCa-
tiOn Ever Held
in Ely,

The Fourth OF July, the Glorious
Fourth. is over. Did we celebrated it?
Well, didn't we. In spite of the feeling
OF discouragement which many have
felt because the prospects are not quite
so bright as they were year ago, in
spite of the fact that the celebration
was gotten up on so short notice, in
spite of the fact that all OF our neigh
bors had advertised fine programs and
most of the ranehers and their families
went elsewhere this year, the people OF
Ely enjoyed the biggest jollification
that was ever held in the town. No
thing occurred to mar the pleasure of
the occasion, and now that it is over, it
will remain for long time one of the
the pleasantest OF memories.
From the time that the anyils awoke
US in the morning, till daylight broke
on the dancers the following morning,
it was one continual round of pleasure.
The news OF Simpsons wonderful
victory over the Spanish feet at San
tiago, which reached us by telephone in
the morning and again with fuller par
ticulars in the afternoon, was received
with cheer upon cheer and raised the
enthusiasm to the highest pitch. More
powder was bought and from sunset
until after darkness closed down upon
us, the echos rang with explosions of
anvils and giant powder.
THE LITERARY PROGRAM.
The program at the picnic grounds
was carried out nearly as published, but
with many additional features. The
assemblage, while not so large as year
ago, made up in enthusiasm what it
lacked in numbers. The program be-
gan with the singing of the national
hymn, America by the whole assem-
bly,. The Declaration of Independence
was clearly and intelligently read by
Miss Mollie Scott. The song alag
OF the Free was well rendered by the
choir, and the singing of ''Indepen-
dence Day" by the children bore evi-
denee of careful training. The recita-
tions Freedom Forever" by Dannie
Mcdonald, and "The Color Guards,
by Lucia Scott, were both appropriate
and nicely spoken. The original poem
read by Mrs. j. Steele, entitled "The
Story of the Hour, was pleasing ad-
dition to the program, and received
much praise. Owing to lack of space,
we have been obliged to defer its pub
hcation until next week.

THE DINNER.

Immediately the tables were cleared
and set for dinner. The committee
found many willing hands to assist in
waiting on the hungry crowd and what
has so often been hard job for the
few, bee me light work for the many.
The tables were loaded with all kinds
of good things to eat. The meat was
cooked TO perfection under the direc-

THE GRAFTON.

The address by Senator II. A Comins
fully sustained that gentleman 5 reputG :
tion as public speaker. As befitted
the occasion, his words fairly bristled
with patriotism and awakened answer
ing echos in the hearts of all his hear
ers. He told of the symbolism of our
Stars and Stripes, the white standing
for purity, the red for valor and the
blue for the true blue of American man
hood and womanhood. He told OF the
humble origin of the flag in the dress
making shop of Betsy Ross. He told
OF the glories which have since been ad-
ded to it in the wars in which it waved
victorious; in the war of the Revolution
when we threw off the the yoke of the
foreign oppressor: in the war of 1872,
when we vindieated the rights of our
American sailors; in the war with Mex
leo, which abounded with deeds of valor
against superior odds aud ended in the
acquisition of an immense territory
which has since developed into the pros
porous states of Utah, Nevada and Cal
ifornia and the territories, New Mexico
and Arizona; in the war Of the Rebel
lion, in which the right prevailed and
from which has come reunited coun-
try. The bitterness of the conflict has
been forgotten and now the Lees and
Wheelers are fighting by the side of the
sons of the Grants and Logans to drive
the foreign oppressor from American
soil. Again our flag waves triumphant,
first at Manila ON the ships of the gal
liant Dewey, and now at Santiago. He
spoke of the good news which had just
reached us that morning, and expressed
the hope that the Spanish Admiral
would be treated as prisoner with as
much chiYalry as he had treated our
gallant Hobson and his crew. He then
concluded with a call for three cheers
for Sampson and the American navy,
which were given as Justify as only
American throats can give them. The
whole assembly then joined in singing,
Columbia, Gem of the Ocean", which
completed the exercises.

were accompanied by Mr.. McGill's son,
William, who has been absent for four
years attending school in Cincinnati,
Ohio. His old boyhood friends gave
him hearty welcome.

THE DANCE.

In the evening a merry company
gathered at Hips hall and danced the
night out till daylight broke next morn
ing. The hall was decorated with flags
and green boughs which formed fit
ting back ground to the bright faces
and pretty costumes of the ladies'. Good
music put new life into feet already
tired aud they tripped as lightly as
though they had not been going all
day long, The ball was a great success,
socially and financially, and the ladies
who had it in charge are to be congrat-
ulated
Thus ended the day, the most glor-
ious Fourth in the history of Ely. Ev-
erybody was happy and helped to make
everybody else happy. Great credit for
the success of the days program is due
to the Arrangements Committee, and
especially to the Chairman, J. b. Simp-
son, Walter Rynearson, who superin-
tended the barbecue, and Will Watson,
who mlnaged the sports.

THE TUG.OF-w w AR.

The sports at the grounds were con-
cluded with a tug-of-war between the
married men and the single men. Two
teams were chosen as follows: married
men, DR.. Hammond, anchor-man, Will
Watson, Sam Titus, J. B. Simpson,
w. J. Barney, p. Huntsman, Tom Lane
Chas. Warner, viii Peters and A. l..
Parker; single men, Ole Norberg, an
chor-man, NJ. Riordan, John Nelson,
Joe Newman, G. Morley, VIM. Hayes,
c. Cook, Geo. Parkinson, Frank Neil
son and G.. McMurray. Two stakes
were placed, each feet on either side
of a center stake. The rope was mark
ed at the center stake and game was for
one side to pull that mark over its I
foot limit. For twenty-one minutes
the two teams pulled with muscles
strained and painting breath. One of
the participants said afterwards that it
seemed more like twenty-one hours.
The spectators went wild with excite
ment as the center mark moved slowly,
inch by inch, first to one side and then
the other. Ladies and men shouted
until they were hoarse. They carried
water for the men on the rope and
famed them with their hats. One lady
became so excited, we understand, that
she dropped her hat and didn' know it
but kept right on tanning with her
hand. Once the single men pulled the
mark fully three feet past the center,
but they could not hold their advan-
tage; the married men recovered all
that they had lost and more too. AT
last, with only an inch or two to gain,
they made one final effort and the day
was won. The judges, Messrs. Comins,
Lyons and Davis, declared the married
men the victors and Tom Lane set up
the champagne for them. The single
men consoled themselves with the know
ledge that they had made a good fight
against heavy odds; in fact, those who
have seen tugs-of-war before, say that
it was the hardest contest they ever
saw. The prize was donated by the
winners for the purchase of powder for
the celebration in the evening.
The crowd then adjourned down town
where the races were continued. The
street had been sprinkled and was free
from dust. VIII McGin won 50-yard
foot race, VIII Stewart won the 1-mile
bicycle race, and the 300-yards free-for-
all horse race was won in two heats by
a bay horse owned by Mexican Joe and
ridden by Manford Hayes. A later
match between the same horse ridden
10y Jimmie Curtis, and little bay mare
owned by Dick Riepe and ridden by Joe
Watson, was won by the latter.

WAR TALK IN BATH.
OF Course 1t Relates There to the Building
of Ships.
ESPECIAL 10 THE rREss.l

Bath, March 2S-Business in Bath ship
wards progresses quite rapidly in spite of
the war talk and SO far the principal in
dustry of this city has been but little
affected by the war scare although some
of the builders believe that in case any
new contracts are made it would be
fully as safe to have a war clause insert
ed
President William Rogers of the Bath
Board of Trade, and one of our leading
builders, says that in his opinion present
contracts would not be much affected if
war should break out. The breaking out
of war would of course mean higher
reights. BE thinks some of the men who
might have vessels built are likely to
hold back until affairs take on q more
settled aspect.
At Kelley, Spear & Co.'S. Office the feel
ing is that with war freights would be
higher but they do not look for any great
change in the building situation.
Treasurer Isaiah Coombs of the New
England Ship Building Co. thinks that
a war would be quite a boom for ship
building A large amount of coasting
trade must be done and freights would
be higher. In his opinion the govern
ment would be able to furnish ample
protection to our ooasting feet and would
purchase many barges, tugs and other
vessels so that private concerns and in
dividuals would have to have new ones
built. He thinks that in case of war
nearly all of our tug boats would be made
into torpedo boats to help dsfend our
commerce.
Mr. Coombs says that to guard against
any circumstances which might arise over
which his company has no control, he
should certainly advise the putting Of q
war clause in any new contracts which
may be made until the present feeling is
over. He doesn't think a war would
affect the contracts his firm now has to
any extent.
One of the firm of Arthur Sewall & Co.
told the PRESS correspondent that if
there should be a war he did nos think
that it would last long enough to have
much if any effect on ship building. he
said freights would naturally be higher
and SO would insurance risks. He did
not think that freighJs would be enough
higher to cause people to build moro YES
sells than would be the case if there
should be no war.

FoxCRoFT,s OFFICERS.

1t will be remem bered that at the last
town meeting the citizens of Foxcroft
chose COMMITTEES of three of the leading
business men of the town and instructed
them to effect settlement with all those
who held notes against the town, provid-
ed that those note holders would agree to
take 25 per cent of the principal and in
terest of their..notes, the sum total not to
exceed $4,000.
1t now seems that if the town will only
stand solidly behind the committee and
give it undivided support that before tn g
first of July note holders representing a
large majority of the amount involved
will have signed the agreement to take rs
per cent and then it is thought the task
will be comparatively easy.
OF course there will be some who will
stand out until the last but they will be
few in comparison to the number who
have already signed.
There seems to be a general opini on
mong small note holders that even
though they win their cases in the law
court it may result as did that of Mrs.
Emerson, who had $1,000 in three notes,
one of $500, one of $500 and one of $780,
Mrs. Emerson received 5000 1.-THE
amount of one note) and paid out to law
yers and other necessary expenses consid-
cradle more than she received.
1t is the current opinion that those who
refuse to settle and prefer to fight will
never get as much as they may receive
now, rs per cent of the principal and in
terest on the notes, and there are some
who go go far as to say that the note hold
ers who carry their cases to the law court
will not receive 10 per cent of their money
above the necessary expenses which would
attend such action.
Up to Monday night 80 note holders,
representing notes to the value of almost
S75, 600, had either signed the agreement
to take 25 per cent or had expressed a
willingness to do so. Their names, resi-
dences and amounts of their notes princi-
pal and interest.

NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FAT IS ONLY A QUESTION
OF EATING PROPER FOOD.

Thin people who want to get fat should eat
proper food and digest 1t.
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people IS that
lhey suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They don't get
enough nourishment. They are slowly being
starved. They are poisoned by the products of
fermented and putrid food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, gentle, natural,
vegetable digestive, attacks the food in your
stomach just like the digestive juices, and turns
it into healthful nourishment. 1t helps your
stomach natur ally. 1t makes thin dySpeptics
fat 1t makes poisonous blood pure. 1t tones
up and cures the stomach.
Nothing will cure indigestion like Shaker d.
gestiye Cordial because nothing else goes so
naturally about it.
This is why it has been so successful IN re-
Iieying nausea, vomitMng dizziness, weakness,
bad TASTE fever, fatulence. constipation, loss of
appetite, headache. neuralgia rheumatism,
