TUNGSTEN TREASURE

New York.-The Wall Street Jour
nal says: Probably one CT the luck
lest men in Bridgeport. at the pres
ent time, is manufacturer of special
steels requiring tungsten. He has
three tons of this precious alloy on
hand, which he bought during the
early part of the war in small am
cunts. Tie avere ge cost is less than
$50 per pound, and at these prices
he has profit Of $3.50 per- pound.
or a total of about $50, 900.
This manufacturer takes orders for
tungsten-bearing steel and sends the
amount Of tungsten required to the
mill taking his order. The tungsten
Is kept by him in steel vault guard
ed by watchman night and day. II
an order requires that 100 pounds Of
tungsten be sent to a certain mill,
that amount is carefully weighed and
expressed. When the order is filled,
this man analyzes the steel to see
that the required amount of tungsten
was used, and II the analysis falls
below the required standard, an ac-
counting is asked from the steel max
er.
He has been attempting to pro-
cure additions to his hord for several
months, but thus far has been un-
able to purchase any.

ST. MARY's CHURCH

By special request on the Fart of
several who attended the Christmas
services at st. Mary's church, the
same program will he repeated on
Sunday. January End. at 10 o'clock.
High Mass will be sung and an ap-
propriate sermon for the occasion
will be delivered by Father Naugh-
ton. The choir will render the same
musical treat of Farmers mass In F
as given on last Christmas day.
At all masses on last Sunday,
Father Naughtcn requested his par
isfioners to make an earnest effort
to attend this special service and al
so to bring some non-Catholic friends
with them. AS such ceremonies are
the most beautiful of the Roman Rit-
ual, it is to be hoped that a large
number of non-C Catholic will be pres
ent on that occasion, as a most cor
dial invitation has certainly been ex-
tended to them. Solcs will be sung

besides the splerdid numbers rem
dered by the chorus. Mrs. Rose

NOW YOUR MEAT

Assuming that nearly everyone has
laid in a good supply of wet goods
and has a well stocked medicine
chest to forestall sickness after the
state shall have entered the dry col
umn, the Observer will make 1t both
possible and profitable for all to lay

a bargain week in the Observer meat
department. We are going to sell
whole pork loiIs for 12h cents
pound; also legs Of mutton for 12h
cents pound. The pork is Nebraska
corn-fed and the mutton is equally
as good. Cold weather is here so
that you can lay in a supply of meat
to last You from two weeks to a
month. Now, remember, this unpre-
cedented price on pork and mutton
shall prevail for but one week, SO
1t behooves you to send or phone
your orders in before the price is
withdrawn. The following week, the
Observer will in all probability,
make like cut in the price of 9TH

DR.. STONE TAKES A BRIDE

Cupid acted as Santa Claus to DR..
o. L. Stone and presented him with
a priceless Chr;stmas gift in the form
of a handsome bride. The doctor
procured a marriage license from
County Clerk Moody, Tuesday, and
left for Denver Thursday morning.
There he met his bethrothed, Miss
Leona Merriam Roulston, and togeth-

trail Saturday evening, going at once
TO the house on 1t High street, form
erly occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. ]. C.

pletely furnished for the reception
OF his bride. The arrival of the
young couple was soon noised about,
and that evening a multitude of
friends surrounded the house and
charivaried them in merry fashion.
Mrs. Stone is a Colorado girl, hav-
ing lived in Denver the past seven
years. She attended Wolff hall and
at this fashionable boarding school
acquired many accomplishments,
which added to Eer natural charm
and beauty, gives her an attractive
ness that makes friends readily. She

a perfunctory interest in the cleo
tion touching compulsory education,
which occurred last THURSDAY :.
seems to have been taken throughout
the county. About 800 votes were
cast for and less than 10 per cent
of that number against its introduc-
tion. Beyond the fact that this vic
tory places the county on an even
plane with the most enlightened
communities it will be somewhat
barren of real results. There is
very little desire to shirk school on
the part of either parents or child
rem under the present voluntary
system. A considerable extra eX-
pense will have to be provided for
by the already hard pressed school
board, the cost of the election alone
having amounted to $500 or 500 9.
AS far as the colored population
goes the passage of the bill will ex-
ercise little effect on their present
excellent average of school attend
ance. Child labor is in the absence
of factories, an unknown quantity
here but it is still possible that an
energetic truant officer could prob.
ably round up an appreciable num-
her of vOuup ne0Dla whose unWiSf
parents have removed them from
school because the children dom
like their teacher" and for equally
trivial causes.
