A rustic poem circulating in press circles credits Ella Paxton the Cowgirl of the Panhandle and may resemble an ad for Hoyt's Texas steer comedy. The verse extols a gleaming steer, its horns and tail in lively, roguish phrases while a cowboy chases and lassos, capturing frontier humor and rough rural bravado.
A weary Manhattan commuter travels home through rain when his sick friend Jim MacFarland appears as a spectral visitor in the smoking car. Jim, pale and odd, warns the narrator not to reveal the encounter while hinting at a troubling fate and a return to an unseen realm.
A dramatic escape and death frame a night scene as Jim MacFarland dies at six. The column adds brief notes on a widow in Chicago, a rumination on hair and carpets, and Tampa hotel telephones linking rooms to the office. It mentions a Paris orchestrion, a St. Louis home for bachelors, and a remarkably capable blind rider from Arkansas.
A brisk sales pitch promotes Dr. Pierce and his Favorite Prescription as a sure remedy for delicate women. It claims the product is not experimental and offers a money back guarantee if not satisfied. It also touts Dr. Pierce s pills as small regulators essential for curing headaches by stomach regulation.
A patchwork of brief notes reports a Florida senatorial contest still unsettled while Boston clothier Almy & Co. fail with liabilities of 110000, suicides in Findlay and a murderplagued rail incident in Springville. Also includes railroad vandalism, health cures, and travel specials.
Local retailer promotes price cuts to clear stock with specials on men s hats and a wide range of shoes and slippers inviting customers to shop now for bargain finds.
