EUROPE THREATENS US.

The European governments as gov
ernments are at peace with the United
States, and especially does this amity
exist with Great Britain but. the Pres
ident's talk al the Monroe Doctrine
has stirred some of the newspapers of
England and Germany into an ugly hu-
NOR.
The British Review speaks of the
United States as "our hated rival, and
says this commercial rivalry, accelerated
by the purpose of the United States to
acquire territory in Central and South
America. is bound to end in war be-
tween the two countries. 1t regards
our Monroe Doctrine as a thin disguise
for Imperialism and possessing those
countries, saying that the same princi-
pie upon which the United States alb
sorbed the Philippines would justify
any European in acquiring territory
in the Americas.
Some Of the German press regard.
the Presidents talk now about The
Noaroe Doctrine as intended for Ger
many az 10 Venezuela.
Some of the English press approve th'
Monroe Doctrine, but think Uncle San
has big job on hand.

CASING A WATCH
How Ordinary WatchWorks May Be
Made More Efficient and How
Finer Ones May Be Preserved.

Ordinary watch works may generally
be made effective timekeepers by careful
and strong casing. The finest grades of
watch works require very strong casing
to protect their delicate mechanism. The
best of all cases for either class is the
Jas. Boss stiffened gold watch case
This is a gold case stiffened in the cen
ter with plate OF hard metal TO prevent
it getting thin and weak and bending
down on the works, as a gold case does
after a few years wear.
The outside plate of gold is very heavy,
much more than is ever worn from a
solid gold case and much more than can
be worn off in a third of a century's hard
service. In fact this outside plate of gold
is a quarter of an inch thick when the
process of rolling down commences. At
any rate. the Jas. Boss case is guaran-
teed twenty-five years, and none was ever
known to wear out.
The styles of tn Jas. Boss case are
very elegant-the same as the finest solid
gold cases-beautifuly hand carved,
superbly finished-very thin or yery mas
sive, as fancy may dictate-and in all
sizes, for men and women's wear. The
price is much lower than that asked for
a solid gold case-the reason is that the
Jas. Boss case saves you paying for gold
that is never seen and never used.
jewelers. everywhere keep a full stock
OF these elegant cases-they have sold
more than 100000 of them in the last
tIilrty-ive years. Ask your dealer to see
them, or for the book showing why a
Jas. Boss suffened gold case is better
than a solid gold case. Write to the Key
stone Watch Case company. Philadelphia.

FOUND A SKELETON
Peculiar Discovery OF Cellar Digger
at Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City, o. T., July 2S.-Some
workmen in the employ of Fuller and
Nipple, sidewalk contractors, made a
startling find Saturday afternoon while
excavating for a sidewalk in front of S.
p. Stanford's residence, at the corner Of
Seventh street and Harrison Boulevard.
After working to depth of two or three
feet the men struck the head-board of 4
grave. and following this down they came
upon a coffin. and by further excavation
were enabled to bring il out of the earth.
Removing the lid Of the coffin. they dis
covered the remains of a man, who at
the time of burial. was perhaps forty to
forty-fve years of age.
The flesh had disappeared from the
bones and some of the clothing remained,
among which was a collar and cuffs Of
oelluliod. In the coffin beside the re-
mains was heavily loaded cane. but
there were no signs of violence evident
on the skull or any other portion Of the
skeleton.
The coffin was in an advanced stage Of
decay and those who saw it believe the
burial occurred prior to the opening Of
Oklahoma to settlement
In former years a race course was 10

tents were taken to the morgue of that
