The Exeter Times, 1892-12-22, Page 5AT CHAMPION CiTY. Shortens Ohristmae Blowout In the Spread { Eagle Theater. HERE were ser. eral unique fea- tures connect- ed with the ob- servation of one Christmas eve at Champion; City during the time that I was editing thq Clarion there, and, I may add,' hutting hair in' the then pre= vtillulg style, dealing in hided and pelts, lead' • ink' the choir, selling land, calling teeth with neatness and dis- etch, and otherwise making myself seful as well as ornamental. The Christmas tree was erected in a : Spread Eagle theater, and there the ride and chivalry of the settlement as- sembled at even -tide, and "bright the lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men," as I so appropriately remarked in the succeeding issue of. the Clarion. At the conclusion of the regular pro- gramme, which was interspersed with impromptu fits byBiekety Waditdns,the presents were distributed. I do not now remember the character of any of Ithe gifts except those in which I was personally interested. I distinctly re - 'call, however, that Col. Corkright, a !gentleman of the old school, who had taken exception to one of my editorial uttorances, hung a neatly written invi- tation on the tree for me to call at his 'office any time during the week and Lave nay nose pulled. I forgot to ac- cept, and three days later the colonel 'called on me and made his word good. Some eight months before, three san- ' uine souls in a neighboring town had formed a copartnership for the purpose 'of conquering the world anew with ,liver pills. They purchased a double column of advertising space in the Clarion for six months, paying therefor lin advance and pills. While their peculiar talents might have won them renown in the days of Alexander the Great, they were not ap- preciated in the degenerate present, and the pill syndicate collapsed in five weeks, leaving mo with several bushels of beautiful pills on !rand. As they were Homeopathic pills and had never been medicated, I won the gratitude of my subscribers without taking any ar iT O ei n y. :ye sir lw NO ou es- Ys ;t, . ox► CITRISTMAB EVE .AT ,y1,1PYON CITY. risks when I made each a Christmas gift of a box of pills. The entertainment concluded with the partial hanging of paralytic John Lanks by Dr. Slade. The physician had but just learned of the discovery by a Kansas City scientist of the efficacy of partial hanging as a remedial agent in the treatment of locomotor ataxia andaralysis. He recognized that the Chriamas eve entertainment offered an excellent opportunity for familiarizing the public with this method of treat- ment and at the same time providing them with a thrilling spectacle. Ac- cordingly, a temporary gallows was erected on the stage, and upon this poor Lanus was duly hanged while the lights were turned down to a yellow Laze. So realistic was this bit of acting that even the little children shouted their approbation. The expe'•iment was a signal success in every particular except that it seemed to exercise no beneficial effect whatever upon Mr. Lanks. Then we all went our several ways, feeling, as I also appropriately re- marked in the Clarion, that "it had in - indeed been good to be there." To P.

McMahon, who has charge of the Canadian Express office, was at 'dinner, some one pried open the cellar door, came up to the office and opened the safe, and secured about $7,000 which was going east. The party who did the job could not be seen from the street, The safe has not a combination lock and there was a brass key found in the lock. The money belonged as follows: Mon- treal, $2,000; Commerce, $3,000; Traci. ers', $2,000. Only Too Willing.
