The jury found James Gregory not guilty of arson in a case charging him with burning his Center store.
An 1890s advertisement touts Kemp's Balsam as a quick fix for coughing and a sample bottle offer. It also cites a Boston fire report from 1897 noting 1,281 fires and damages totaling $861,203.
The notice cautions against selling and advertising cheap kalsomine stock as the same as durable Alabantine. It warns buyers to insist on properly labeled Alabantine and to purchase only in sealed packages. Includes a mention of Elwood G. A. R. post bankers for a round with Spain.
A new preparation called GRAIN-O, made from pure grains, is sold in grocery stores as a coffee substitute. It suits delicate stomachs, costs at most a quarter of coffee, and is beneficial for children. A Western wedding featured the wedding march whistled by twelve of the bride’s girl friends.
An advertisement touts Allen's Foot-Ease powder as a cure for swollen, smarting, and sore feet and bunions. It promises comfort for tight or new shoes and offers trial packaging and mail order options. The copy also mentions widespread need in Hungary with many towns lacking a doctor within ten miles.
The article emphasizes using foresight in farming by reading stock journals, selecting cheap but quality horses and cattle, and breeding to fit future markets. It warns against panic selling during price dips and notes a rising demand for draft horses as markets revive, with a pest threat from rust affecting asparagus.
The state reports two harmful asparagus diseases, rust (Puccinia asparagi) and a new leopard spot mold, found in Dorchester, Caroline, and other counties. The rust blisters stems while leopard spot shows mottled brown patches. Quarantine and burning of infested plants are advised as the beetle-like pests spread through spores from old stems.
A Louisville Courier Journal feature urges Spain to rally its fleets and endure, warning that past wrongs from the New World weigh heavy. It calls for ships, courage, and a strong, just response as a shadowy army of sorrows gathers. The piece frames a moralizing vision of justice against empire.
A Scranton man recounts relief from stomach misery after using Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. The advertisement claims the pills restore blood nourishment and nerve force, renewing appetite and energy.
