Register The New Anthony is a historical Hoosier newspaper from New Harmony Indiana published Saturdays in 1975. It details subscription costs advertising rates and payment terms including yearly and quarterly options and penalties for arrears.
A lone rider carries five thousand dollars to Fort Laramie and narrowly escapes Bill Wolf and bandits after a night of deception. After losing his route and stalling at a frontier inn, he hides in a coffin and uses a bowie knife to fend off discovery. He flees on a white mare, pursued by Wolf’s gang, aided by infantry and eventual capture of Wolf.
In 1849 James F. Stuart of Newburyport Massachusetts went to San Francisco and built a thriving business until the great fire of 1852 wiped out most. He sought creditors for discharge, was granted a full discharge and new stock, and within six months cleared old and new debts. A failed 1853 land speculation later drained capital, yet he promised repayment and now remits principal and interest in gold.
An old man in a hotel room rings a bell repeatedly. A waiter questions the noise and the man explains he is obeying the bell for “the writer.” He promises to ring no more than four times unless a family member is ill and clarifies his courtesy to the writer.
A Wisconsin husband and wife dining near a hotel table clash over table manners. The wife, younger and fashionable, prompts him to use his fork. He grows frustrated, vows to eat six shillings worth if he must, and threatens to swallow the knives, ending the scene.
A country man seeks medical aid from a neighbor famed for cow care. The quip leads to a dose of salts for a human and the odd belief that a man should receive a quarter of a pound of salts as a cow-appropriate dose. The piece also shares short, rustic notes on tempering edge tools and a Washington relief society encounter with a tall darkey asking for provisions amid hard times.
A Detroit civic society mourns a member with condolences, then a secretary sends letters home. A misaddressed love note to his girl prompts a swift sting of embarrassment, as the widow receives a jagged bill and the tale ends with a warning about intoxicating drinks and trust.
A correspondent recalls an age old toothache cure. Betty procured alum and common salt mixed and applied with cotton to the afflicted tooth. The friend claimed the remedy would cure within ten minutes or he would forfeit his head. A cold sensation followed and the pain faded as described.
Coverage critiques Senator Morton for claiming State Courts bind the U S Supreme Court on state constitutional matters. The piece argues a Republican position should not undermine federal supremacy and notes the tension over state rights versus Washington power. Commentary closes with satirical observations on roosters and rural humor.
