Phelps News.

Frank Bishop, brakeman on the
freight run, whose home is at Amigo,
was knocked off box car by lean
ing telephone pole in the yards OF the
H. B. Co. Saturday and was quite
badly bruised up.
Lots of excitement was caused last
week Wednesday night when it was
thought that the Weed launch had
caught fire up near Adams Resort.
Very peculiar reports of just how it
started got about in very short order
as usual so Elvin Weed rushed to the
rescue with Bobby Burns" the COM
pany's launch, while DR.. H. M. Weed
with all necessary equipment for re-
viving the drowned and badly burned
was rushed around the lake via some
resorter's car. The Ed AndersOns,
CLYDE Nelbergs, Joe and Miss Lima
Mccormick, Miss Hagle of Evanston
and L. G, Weed, the bunch on board
the doomed ship, all got home some
time ahead of their rescuers and were
rather surprised to see the crowd at
the docks. The scare was started by
a big bonfire at Adams place and
near the lake shore.
The band boys gave another one OF
their greatly appreciated little dances
Saturday evening; it is understood
the new suits have been ordered.
The Phelps electric lighting system
has been greatly improved this last
week. New and heavier wiring has
beed put up which raises the voltage
considerably and gives fine lights.
The movies, the Romance of Tar
zan" were very well attended. The
switch to the higher voltage however,
came Just before time to start the
show so that the Weed Bros. had not
time to adjust their light properly.
They wish to announce, however,
that before time for the next show
that the lights will again be o. X.
Remember, big show this week,
western production, entitled, ''HellS
Hinges and also a Fatty Arbnckle
comedy.
Rev. Gilroy of Fond du Lac gave
another splendid sermon at the Con-
gregational church Sunday. Rev.
McCarron of Chicago finished his
week day services Friday evening.
He had splendid attendance Practi-
every night.
The scrubs of Phelps had been
roasting what there was left of the
Phelps regulars, about how they
could trim up the regulars. Sunday
they decided to play off the argument
and imported a Chicago pitcher and
first baseman for the game. The
game was to be played for $40. 90 and
gate receipts. Well, to make long
story short, the regulars trimmed
the scrubs 10 to 6. Not so much talk
since and the regulars are to keep
their suits.

WATCH GIVEN TO
STEPHEN DOUGLAS
FINDS NEW OWNER

There has recently come into the
possession of Mrs. Emma McHenry
Sheesley, 322 Thirteenth street, a
valuable souvenir in the shape of
a gold watch that was once the
treasured property of stephen Ar
mold Douglas, American statesman
and candidate for president in 1860
in opposition to Abraham Lincoln,
by whom ne was defeated. and who
attained prominence for the series
OF debates entered into with Lin
coin throughout the country.
The watch. upon the death of
Douglas, was left to a son. and it
was pawued by the latter in order
to pay q hotel bill held against
him bv Nickery Bros. in Chicago,
then located at Twelfth and Wa
bash streets, Chicago. This was
years ago, and the vaIuable time
piece has since been held by the
Chicago men. and it was given by
them to Mrs. Sheesley.
The watch is a work OF art. of
unusual size and value because OF
the fact that it was presented TO
Douglas during a campaign tour of
California by the young men OF
that state, an inscription on the
inside lid of the timepiece reading,
Hon. stephen A Douglas Califor-
MIA knows her friends. Presented
by the young men of California"
The gift was given on Aug. 26,
1859. the 41st anniversary of the
state of Illinois.
Jewellers estimate the value Of
the IS-carat gold in the watch al
$50. and chip diamonds. the watch
jewels, are also valued az $50. The
timepiece is of unusual size, weigh
ing eight ounces and measuring
eight inches in circumference. 1t
is heavily and deliberately carved,
both on the front and reverse sides,
the former having engraved on it
the seal Of Illinois and on the re-
verse in bold relief the seal of Cal
ifornia.
The dial of the watch is gold and
engraved on il is a reproduction Of
one of the early missions of Cali
fOrnia, making an unusual and
very beautiful watch face. It is
the work OF William y. Lyon & Co
of New York and London. which
jewelers. at one time were cOnsid-
cred the foremost firm of its kind.
The timepiece is much priced by
Mrs Sheesley. both for its intrinsic
worth and as a souvenir Of the not
ed statesman.
