Iowa and Southern MINI.
In introducing ourselves to the
Farmers of this section, as Agents
for the EXCELSIOR SELF RAK1NG
or DROPPING Reaper & Mower COM
BINED, as also for other kinds of
Machinery, We feel justified in
stating, what the farmers themsel-
YES know, that two-thirds of all who
have purchased COMBINED Machines
for the past few years have been
completely swindled.
We do not propose to tell you in
the manner of Agents generally,
that our Machine is the only one in
existence, but we boldly assert, af-
ter an experience of many years in
the Machine business, that it is the
only one that has proved a success,
and that will stand the test; and
this we ask none to accept on our
own statement, but will prove it
under any circumstances, WET or
DRY by practical demonstration,
as also a thousand testimoui-
ais we have from farmers from all
over the country in praise Of its SUI
perior qualities.

Gentlemen We are much pleased to
inform you that your EXCELSIOR, as a
combined reaper and mower, takes the
lead of anything that has appeared yet in
this part Of the State. We purchased one

could be done by any machine we have
ever seen in this section of country.

CAPTURE OF a HORSE THIEF.-Mr.
Morton, Of Oakland whose horse was stolen
from him few weeks. since, has been so fottu-
nate as to recover his horse, and see the thief
placed in jail to await his punis bment. The
Chicago Times of Tuesday, the 10th inst thus
refers TO the affair:
''0n the 18th Of November last, Mr.. Ed
ward Morton, of Oakland, Jefferson county.
Wisconsin, had valuable mare worth some
$500, stolen from his barn. The thief COM
pleted his outfit by stealing a saddle and
| bride from a near neighbour, and thus equip.
ed, he left for parts unknown, all attempts at
finding his hiding place having proved unsuc-
cess III. In his pursuit, following the general
! example, Mr.. Merton gravitated to Chicago,
arriving here on Saturday morning last, and
lost no time in communicating with the po-
lice. Detectives Miller and Reeves haze been
peculiarly sucf essful in the capture Of horse
thieves and the case was put into their hands.
Mr.. Morton had given them a description OF
the SUSPECTED thief, and from his description,
| Reeves was convinced that he had seen the in
divldual at Jefferson in this county, and at
once started for that place His surmise prov
ed correct and that same evening, he returned
with his prisoner, John Barger by NAME who,
upon being arrested, had acknowledged athe
theft. On his person was found note of hand
for 500 from Robert Billy, of Lyonsvile, tc
whom he had sold the mare for $l25 and the
saddle and bride for So On the arrival Of the
officer, Barger was just preparing to leave
having his vase at the depot, and an hour
later. he would hav' been away on the train.
/ On Sunday Reeves returned for the mare
and that night had both the thief and the
| property ready to be put into the hands Of Mr.
Morton. Yesterday that gentleman started fol
home with both under his care, and fully con-
WINGED of the efficiency Of the Chicago detec-
tives"
While in Chicago, Mr.. Morton had a narrow
escape from death by suffocation, having

The true value Of Machinery applied to
Matchmaking is not that by its use Watches
are made rapidly, but that they are made cor
rectly. Very few people know why a Wal
than watch should be superior to any other.
In the first place. at Walthan the watch is re-
garded as only a machine, to be constructed
like any other machine, on mechanical prin-
ciples. If the watches are good it is because
the machinery Is good. Of course there must
be no defect in the principle or plan of the
movement-no mistake in the sizes or shapes
of the pieces of which it is composed nothing
wanting in cir properties, and no error in
their positions. These points once thorough,
y settled, it rests wholly with the machinery
constructed with infinite diversity Of form and
function expressly for the purpose, to produce
the finished pieces. BY means of multiplying
gauges and microscopes, tests and inspection
for the detection Of wear in the cutting tools,
and for faults and flaws in steel or stone are
made to accompany the work in every stage
from beginning to end. AS a necessary result,
the watch 60 together perfect machine. EV-
cry part is found to fit properly in its place.
Every pin may be pushed till it pinches, and
ver5 screw turned hone Instead Of a slug
gish and feeble action, the balance, even under
the pressure of the ightest handspring, vibrates
with wide and free motion, and the beat has
the clear ringing sound always characteristic
of the Waltham watch. The machine is
timekeeper from the start.
This system of matchmaking is unknown in
foreign countries, and is entirely original with
the Waltham Company. The Company claim
that by it they produce watches that cannot be
! e0uaIlad for varv 0ua]itv which makes q watch
valuable. Simple in plan and correct IN prln-
clple, the movement is not only beautifully
finished substantial, accurate and cheap, but
is uniform in the mjnutest details, not easily
damaged, and when repaired always as good
as new There are different grades Of finish IN
the different varieties Of watches made by the
Waltham CO mpany, as there are different sizes
and shapes to suit all tastes and means but
every watch that bears the genuine trademark
Of f'WALTHAM' is guaranteed to-b good one,
and nobody need be afraid TO buy it.
