"Palace of Sweets /"

Congress has a new business
house. Miss. F. H. Koenigsberg
has opened up a veritable Palace
of Sweets in the old Koenigsberg
store. Miss Koenigsberg is from
Chicago, and knows just h o W
an up-to-date place for refresh
ments should be conducted. She
is very pleasant parsonage and
will make all those who wish first
class temperance drinks and cold
delicacies feel like they have come
to the right place when they call
on her. She is having the old store
renovated and new fixtures put in,
and will have one of the incest,
roomiest places in the city for a
pleasant chat over a dish of ice
cream, just the place that Congress
has long needed in the hot sum-
mer days. The success of the en-
terprise is assured.

Waiting for a Hoist

J. B. Richman, one of the own
ers of the now well-nigh famous
Alaska mine, near Congress, was a
welcome caller at t h s office
this week. He says that little
work will be done on this prop
erty now until a gasoline hoist is
installed. He is enthusiastic over
the prospects of this section of the
country. He feels that it has been
held back by circumstances worse
than any other mining district in
the country, and he believes she
will soon be humming with the
busy mines. AS to the Alaska, he
feels certain that it will be right in
the swim in the near future. He
says that as soon as the main back
ers of the company have time to
arrange everything satisfactorily
that work will be pushed on a
large scale.

He Failed to Appear Here Upon His Appointed
Wedding Day
No Word Has Been Received From Him Since March 28t-He Was
Known to Have Considerable Sum of Money Upon His Per-
and It Is Feared He May Have Been Murdered

sent to Sheriff Lovin Of Kingman
brought the response that he could
not locate the missing groom. Mr..
Lovin, being we'll acquainted with
Mr.. Stillman, would be easily able
to find him if here were about.
The only thing that is left to be
coniectured is that he must have
met with some foul play. The trip
he was to take from Needles, CAL,
across the Colorado to the Arizona
side again, was through corner of
the Hualpai Reservation, and, as
there are a great many tough char
acters in that section, it is greatly
feared that he may have been mur-
dered, and his body perhaps throw n
into the river, or hidden in the
the dense underground of the river
bottom. Of course, there is the
possibility that he may have been
5aken sick in the Needles and NAV
oe in the hospital in delirious
condition, or he may be sick at
fosenberry's ranch, and his letters
nay have been lost, and it is pos.
'ible that he has skipped the coun-
jry to avoid the marriage. But, in
IN justice to him and the young
lady, it is only fair to say that this
latter view is held only as one of
the possibilities for his non-appear-
ance, and not in any sense as prob
able.
Mr.. Stillman is supposed to have
had on his person when he left
here considerable money. and, as
he was to receive other money on
the trip, it is possible that he inad-
vertently allowed it to become
known that he had money and that
some one may have laid plan
for his murder in order to obtain
his money. And as he is man
who never carried a sixshooter, he
would be at the mercy Of any tough
characters, as, indeed, any man is,
whether armed or not, if they are
desperate.
1t is sad thought that we'd
ding should have been nipped in
the bud, from many points of view;
prehaps saddest from the point of
view of the bride, and next by the
the lady who had a nice present
all ready for the happy pair, and
will be robbed of the pleasure of
it's donation. Let US hope that the
dark clouds which are now hang
ing over the scene will clear away
and that everything will yet be all
right Both of these young people
are highly respected and we'll
liked, and the present situation is
deeply deplored by large number
of friends. Many expressions of
sympathy have been heard on all
sides, and the announcement of a
satisfactory solution of this mys-
terry, would be met with cheers on
every hand.
