Ingalls, Patent Upsetter.

Hs- Our townsman, ALFRED INGALLS,,
always fertile in expedients for lessening
the cost and labor of mechanical opera.
tons, has just invented n machine to ac-
company his patent Tire Heater-which,
by the way. has proven itself a great sue
cess. The article in question is called
an Upsetter," and is intended TO lessen
the cost and labor Of upsetting or shrink
inc wagon tires. With the usual meth
cd Of cutting and welding tile tires, most
blacksmiths are compelled TO heat the
tire at least three times-once TO cut it,
once TO weld it, and once to finish up the
weld. This, il will be seen, is at the
cost Of considerable labor and fuel. The
Upsetter shrinks the tire by force applied
with a lever of great power but of very
simple construction, and does it in a few
seconds-with but a moderate heating OF
the iron, and does not perccptibly thick
en- the parts, as in welding-thus making
a much smoother, nicer job, The ma
chine Is very simple. and can be made by
any blacksmith in about two days time,
and at small cost. 1t has power to shrink
a much thicker bar Of iron than any tires
in use. 1t can be graduated to any di.
mansions Of tire, and, unlike other up set.
ters, moves in the exact circle of the
tire, so that when the shrinking is done,
no work is needed to give proper form 10
the tire. II is certainly an admirable in
v%ention as regards simplicity, cheapness
and beauty of operation. With it and
the tire heater a tire can be shrunken
and set in about fifteen minutes, making
the labor in this department OF black
smithins very immaterial. Mr., INGALLS,
has applied for Letters Pate Mt.

EF Our friend WILEY's stock Of
Boots ~ Shoes presents something Of the
peculiarities of the Little Joker" for
now you see it and now you don't. But
a short time since we told the public
what a large stock Of Boots and Shoes
WILEY had in store. But a short time
after, that stock wasn't visible, but an
other was. And the present week We
find him putting aside the boxes which,
contained the second installment, and
replacing them with others full Of fresh
goods, just received, and Of the same ex
%cellent quality. JoHS is certainly doing
An excellent business, and simply be-
cause he deserves to. He is very care
full to buy the best Of goods, keeps a first
rate assortment, sells them Just as low as
good goods can ever be sold, and has
the Judgment to know, and the honesty
to tell, his customers what he is selling
them. Ne say, if you want Boots and
Shoes, go 10 WILEY. He hes now a fresh
assortment Of Boots, Caters, Balmorals,
&c, for ladies' wear, and Boots and
Shoes of all kinds for Men and Boys.
You will find him next door to WAL

Eg Mr.. SANFORD S. CLARK, of this

hogs that have ever left the State in one
drove. The average weight was 1853

pounds, the two heaviest 1906 pounds,
and the three heaviest 2,1OO pounds.
We want TO know who can beat that

900 head Of pigs and hogs, and has one
of the largest and finest stone pens, nice
ly rooted, for them, that can be found in

Liquor Prosecutions.

Ep Suits, we understand, have been
entered against WOE of our liquor-seIlers,
for violation Of the law. AS the work
has been commenced, letit be done thor
oughly. Let there be an earnest feeling
in the matter, and the power of a healthy
public opinion be made manifest. Any,
thing short of this will be of little avail.
II is a sorrowful fact that our village is
10 no inconsiderable an extent, stunned
by our OWN county people, because OF the
inducements here offered for drinking
and gambling. Many a wife breads to
see her husband, who, she knows, cannot
Withstand temptation, come trading to this
place and the number of intoxicated
farmers that we weekly see driving ia
riously out of iowa, attests that there Is
cause for the solicitude. Our merchants
suffer more from this cause than they
have any idea Of, and the community is
greatly affected materially as well as
morally. All interests prompt US to The
suppression Of this unlawful traffic in
liquor. Let us see, then, whether it shall
be done.

Won't our country friends see TO form
