Long stretches of thefts become a daily report in Portland as the city earns a grim label. Residents express calls for a vigorous campaign to rid the metropolis of pickpockets and an undesirable element.
A fragmented verse piece explores love as pursuit, power, and paradox. It references Cupid like arrows in a dimple and mutt imagery, with archaic spellings and archaic phrasing suggesting a 17th or 18th century poetic voice. The text mentions Thomas Nelson and Unry Sribners in a marginal, unclear note.
A fragmentary verse passage describes a birth as a growing terror and a misborn monster. It depicts fear, concealment, and shifting appearances as the newborn is “coiling,” passed among hands, and then calmed as it transforms into a gleaming figure celebrated by some yet cast out by others. Descriptive imagery contrasts danger with acceptance.
An East coast editorial praises Portland about to host a Lewis and Clark centennial exposition opening next May. The event will feature large new buildings and transfer of exhibits from St Louis. Freight tariffs encourage relocation as cooperation from Massachusetts and others supports the ambitious project. The article recalls Captain Kay’s 1783 voyage and the Lewis and Clark expedition’s link to Jefferson’s Louisiana purchase and an inland route to the Pacific.
A faded ad claims Bittern cures indigestion dyspepsia heartburn and kidney troubles. It markets relief for malaria and general ailments and offers a free 1806 almanac from the druggist.
A letter from Arthur W. Donn argues the army canteen should be abolished despite officers favoring a post room for beer and spirits. The piece contrasts temperance forces with critics, noting proposed restrictions for soldiers, mill workers, and government staff amid nationwide centennial space allotment in Creron state counties.
A local brewing partnership named Woldenders and Berg faced ongoing litigation but reached a settlement when Bar Mothertived received part of the partnership property. On Monday, Jenking Brow submitted a bid for the brewery and remaining operational assets needed for the wharf's function.
An advertisement extols Cuticura Soap and Ointment for hands and skin care. It promises relief from red rough or chapped skin, eczema, scalp issues, and “humours” with a complete regimen: wash with Cuticura Soap, dry and apply Ointment, wear soft gloves at night, and take Cuticura Pills. It claims speedy, permanent, economical cure from infancy onward.
