this step at so early a day as it is im
portant that the premium list should
be issued in good season, as it will he a
greater benefit to the fair and also to
its advertising patrons. The society
is on good tooling financially and
otherwise, and the prospect is that its
lair for this year will eclipse all other
fairs ever held in this section of the
state. The new grounds and track will
be generally improved over last year
and increased premium list and racing
purses together with the growing pop
ularity of the society, will no doubt
conspire to make the fair of 1883 a
grand success.

The Mineral Point Zinc Company.
The stock of the Mineral Point Zinc
company was purchased on Saturday
last by Mr. D. B. Jones, of Chicago,
brother of Mr. W. A. Jones of this
city. General satisfaction is expressed
in regard to the sale. The projectors
of the enterprise having accomplished
the object sought,—namely, the estab
lishment of a zinc oxide factory in this
city—are well satisfied that it has prov
ed successful and has been transferred
to gbod hands. The works will be
kept running, as they have been for
the past three months, to their full ca
pacity. Under the skillful supervision
of Manager McMahon, the manufac
ture of the oxide has proved a success
beyond the expectation of the most
sanguine. From thirty to thirty-five
men are kept in constant employ, and
about 82,000.00 monthly is paid out by
the company, the benefits of which are
shared by our citizens. Mr. D. B. Jones,
the purchase* of the works, is well
known here. He is a wide awake, far
seeing man, and we have no doubt that
under his control the enterprise will
be’well and successfully conducted.

WILLIAM BURGOYNE.

St. Louis, on Tuesday morning brought
the sad intelligence of the death of
Will Bnrgoyne, formerly of this place,
in a railroad accident at Pilot Knob,
Missouri, on Monday. No particulars
of the terrible affair has yet been re
ceived. Young Burgoyne was in the
employ of the Iron Mountain railroad
and was regarded as a very faithful
and efficient employe. The news of
his death falls with crushing weight
upon his bereaved mother end sisters.
A kind son and brother, his loss to the
grief stricken family is irreparable.

dinary promise, ever remembering,

and sisters in words of love and tokens
of esteem. Our people join in extend
ing heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
family. The funeral will take place
from his mother’s residence to St.

E. R. PRIOTIETT.
Died, at his home in Eden, on Satur
day night, March 17th, Mr. E. li.
Prichett. of pneumonia; aged 60 years.
Thd deceased had .been ill only a few
days, and his condition was not consid
ered critical until a few hours before
his death.
Mr. Prichett was born in Kentucky
in the year 1817. In 1828 he removed
with his parents to Missouri, and in
1835 came to Wisconsin, and settled at
Willow Springs. In 1857 he located in
Eden on his late farm in the then town
of Highland, where he resided until
the time of his death.
Mr. Prichett was well known and
very highly respected for his high
character as a man and a citizen. He
wits straightforward and plain spoken
in all his dealings. He was a democrat
of the old school. His neighbors and
friends ever found him a man whose
character was above reproach, and a
prominent characteristic of his life
was that he never spoke ill of any one.
The remains were buried in the burial
ground two miles west of Cobb under
the direction of Ferrin Lodge, F. & A.
M., of Montfort, on Tuesday. A num
ber of Masons from this city and other
places joined with the brethren of Fer

THE WRESTLING MATCH.
A Hotly Contested Struggle in Which
Lewis Proves the Best Man.
[ By Onr “Sporting Reporter." ]
The grand wrestling match for the
heavy weight championship of the
state of Wisconsin, —Cornish style—
between Ben Knight of Darlington,
and Evan Lew is, formerly a Ridgeway
boy, now of Montana, Ter., took place
at the Opera House in this city on
Tuesday last.
The match was made some two
weeks ago. and although the time was
short for either man to do any great
amount of training, a great deal of
science was displayed by both sides.
For two days previous to the time
the match was to take place men be
gan to arrive in our city from different
parts of the country to witness some
thing which it not been their pleasure
to see in many years; and especially
were Darlington and Ridgeway, and
Cornwall and Wales well represented.
The hall was densely crowded long
before the time announced for the
wrestle to take place, and one would
be led to believe that this was even
more than a “holiday” for the sports of
this community.
At 2:15 the referees—being Messrs.
Richard Pollard, of Linden, Pierce
Roberts, of Ridgeway, and Parnell, of
Darlington—entered the ring, and Mr.
Parnell called the audience to order, at
the same time taking from his pocket
a book containing the rules and regu
lations of “The Cornish Style of Wrest
ling,” which he read aloud, and at the
finish was lustily cheered by those
present. The referees then announced
“time.” Lewis was the first to enter
the ring, and was received with a
thundering applause by his many ad
mirers. Knight soon followed and re
ceived a like ovation by those who
claimed him as their favorite.
The clothes worn by Lewis consisted
of a britch-cloth and jacket, the latter
being made of heavy ducking with a
bed-cord hemmed around the edge,
which was a sure preventative for
tearing. Knight wore a pair of red
flannel drawers, and a jacket the same
as Lewis.
The two men stepped to the centre
of the ring and shook hands, and then
took positions for the struggle. It had
been often repeated that Knight would
be the one who would get first hold,
and when within reaching distance he
reached out and got hold the collar of
Lewis’ jacket, but no sooner did Lewis
get his hold than Knight was on his
his back; here the referees decided “no
fall,” as Knight failed to touch “ two
shoulders and one pin, or two pins and
one shoulder,” as is required by the
rules, still it was evident at this early
stage of the wrestle that Knight was
entirely overmatched, which he him
self stated on the twentieth and last
round.
Below we give the rounds and time
of each, Lewis being the topmost man
each round:
First, 1 minute; second, I*4 minutes;
third, 2 minutes; fourth. Knight being
forced out under the ropes, 1 % min
utes; fifth, both men fall, *4 minute;
sixth, Knight is forced over the ropes,
1 minute; seventh, both fall, *4 min
ute; eighth, % minute; ninth, I*4 min
utes ; tenth, 2 minutes; eleventh, 10 sec
onds; twelfth, 13 seconds; thirteenth,
15 seconds; fourteenth, 12 seconds; fif
teenth.l4 seconds; sixteenth, 10 seconds.
In the seventeenth, both men showed
much science and the round was
hotly contested, but here Lewis showed
liis wonderful strength, raising his op
ponent from the ground threw him
very heavy, winning the first and only
fall during the contest, time 2 minutes;
eighteenth, 10 seconds; nineteenth, J 2
seconds; twentieth, 10 seconds. In
the 20th round Knight was picked up
by Lewis as though a child, and was
given an unusually heavy fall which
he said had disabled him and that he
was willing to take a defeat.
Mr. Lewis was pronounced by many
old wrestlers who were present to be
the strongest built man they had ever
seen in the ring, (among them Jimmy
“Rudd”) He is twenty-three years of
age and weighs 192 pounds in wrestl
ing condition,
Mr. Knight has held the champion
belts of Wisconsin, Northern Michi
gan and Colorado. He shows much
science and grit, but his antagonist
showed equal skill, which coupled with
greater strength gave him the victory.
Mr. Knight still shows his willingness
to wrestle any man in the state of
equal weight—l7o pounds.
Commendable Public Spirit.
We have been requested by several
of cur citizens who have disposed of
their shares of stock in the Zinc com
pany, to call attention to the fact that
now would be a most opportune time
for starting some new enterprise in
Mineral Point They say that the men
who helped organize the Zinc company
and subscribed to its stock, are now
well pleased at seeing the works estab
lished and in successful and profitable
operation; and that having received
back the money which they invested
in their undertaking, they are now
ready and willing to invest their mon
ey and use their influence in starting
any enterprise which presents a good
prospect of becomings proutable and
permanent industry in oar city.
A city blessed with citizens possess
ing the public spirit exhibited by the
men who helped start the Zinc com
pany.-cannot fail to grow and prosper,
if all effortstowanls improvements are
well organized and wisely directed.
We do not believe that our citizens
will cease to be actuated by this com
mendable spirit of enterprise until
they have made Mineral Point a leading
manufacturing town. It is hardly a
year since the first public suggestion
was made of establishing at this place
a factory for the manufacture of oxide
of zinc. And now what is to be seen!
One of the most complete and best
equipped factories of zinc oxide in the
world, turning out a product which
cannot be excelled. To accomplish
this there has been expended more
than seventy-five thousand dollars.
And this vast sum of money has been
added to the capital of our city—the
original stock holders having had their
money returned to them. With this
result before us as the work of one
short year, what may we not hope
for in the future!
Let some far-seeing individual point
out some particular industry which
can be carried on profitably here, and
demonstrate what he claims and with
The Democrat’s aid in booming it, he
will see it permanently established be
fore the close of 1883. If somebody will
duly suggest a good enterprise Mineral
Point has the men and money to carry
it out

—M. Pasteur, of France, says that the
grass grown over the graves of cattle
that die of splenic fever is a source of
infection to cattle feeding upon it. He
points to the agency of earth-worms in
carrying the germs of deadly baoteria
from buried carcasses to living animals.
Having introduced worms into a pit
which nad contained the carcasses of
cattle that died from splenic fever, he
filled it with earth. In a short time he
procured from the intestines of these
worms the means of producing the dis
ease in its worst forms by inoculation.
He also showed that the worms by cast
ing out over the surface earth contain
ing the bacteria germs, gave the dis
ease to all cattle that grazed over it.
A Word to Farmers,
Now, while seed-time is far distant,
farmers should examine their seed
corn.
Last season was cold and late, and
much soil that was planted failed to
germinate by reason of the cold, damp
soil, while that which managed to start
grew but slowly and sickly, and was
long in maturing, so that when cold
weather came on all was more or less
soft, and the autumn being cool it hard
ened but slowly.
Much was entirely ruined for seed by
the early frosts, and nearly all has since
had its vitality destroyed by the cold
snap in early December which froze the
but partly-dried germs.
Those farmers who, early in the fall,
fearing that there would be but little
corn suitable for seed, gathered their
seed-ears from fields uninjured by the
frosts and hung them in airy drying
places, may be pretty certain that they
will experience no inconvenience from
their seed not germinating; but still it
may be best to test its vitality, and for
doing so there is no time like the pres
ent.
A good method Is to select a hundred
kernels indiscriminately from your
seed-ears and place them between two
woolen cloths, which must bo kept
damp and in a place of seventy degrees,
Fahrenheit’s, or in the ordinary temper
ature of a living room in winter; or the
kernels may be placed in a glass bottle
and covered Vith water, and hung in
the window or near the fire; or if con
venient place the kernels in a shallow
box of earth.
In a few days, if the seeds are good,
the sprouts will b egin bursting their in
teguments, and then the germinated
kernels can be counted and the per
cent, that will develop is readily ascer
tained, and plans made accordingly.
It is surprising what a small number
of kernels have vitality ihe present
season.
The majority of farmers select their
seed-ears when husking, as in this man
ner they obtain the best and most pro
bative ears; but this year such farm
ers have performed a losing labor.
Those farmers who examined their
corn during the time that the mercury
fell so low in December, noticed it
looked dark, as thongh it had been
cooked, and on breaking the covering
found the sprouts frozen. Complaints
<ri this nature come from all parts of
the country.
Such corn, of coarse, will never ger
minate. and it will be necessary to ob
tain old corn for seed or produce no
corn. There is but little old corn in
the country, and, if any can be found,
every farmer should obtain enough of
it for seed. Probably a good price will
be asked for it, bat it is better* to pay a
good price for good seed, than a poor
price for poor seed.
New corn is bringing a low price at
present, as mnch of it is soaring in the
cribs and dealers are loth to take it,
but probably before another summer it
will touch a high price. Old corn is
sound and reliable, and prices paid for
it seem fancy, though not in reality so,
as it is much superior to the new.
Farmers' time and labor are not
pressing us at present, and we can bet
ter affora to give a little attention to
onr seed now, and be sore of a good
crop, than to labor all the spring and
find onr seed refusing to start, and
be obliged to bunt up some old com,
if any can be had, and plant all onr
fields over again right in the busiest
season.— Prairie Farmer.
Be Ready Early.
A season of activity is near at hand.
Spring is coming, with its pressing work.
Are farmers ready for sowing and plant
ing’ Every implement should be pro
vided beforehand, that no time may be
wasted in making purchases or repairs
after the work should begin. We nave
known a half-day of plowing to be lost be
cause the whiffle trees were not at hand.
Some farmers start out with their spring
plowing without a single plow-point in
stock, and when one is needed, the
team is taken from the field and driven
to the store. Such a loss of time is a
serious matter, and should be thought
fully guarded against by ample pro
vision of all such articles of the farm.
It is a poor time to mend a harrow
when it should be at work in the field.
We do not favor that economy—if it
may be so tailed—that relies upon
the' neighbors for many of the
tools of the farm. There are
certain farm implements that may
be owned in partnership, aa a
roller or reaper, but the constant bor
rowing of rakes, forks, etc., is not a
wise and economical practice. Be pro
vided with all these essential farm tools,
and have them in good order, and at
hand when the time arrives for using
them.
Now is the time to look to these
matters, aad make all aeeded prepara
tions for the busy days that will soon be
here la the peaee of winter prepen
Jar the war of spring. —Ugriculi un*.
