An Unfortunate Affalr.-on Saturday

An Unfortunate Affair.-On Saturday
afternoon man named Crist Smith and
a boy named Charles Kitner got into n
dispute regarding horse, on the square
in this borough. After some words had
passed, Smith threatened to lick" the
boy and came towards the boy for that
purpose. Kitner warned him that if he
touched him he would strike him with
shovel he had in his hands and which
he raised to be ready to use, and then
commenced to back up on to the side
walk. Smith followed him for several
yards and was about to grab him by the
throat when Kitner brought down the
shovel on his head with great force. In
stead of striking him with the back of
the shovel as he evidently intended, the
shovel turned so that the blow was in
fiicted by the edge, partly knocking the
unfortunate man down and cutting Sc
rious wound into the skull. Smith got
up and after standing around for several
minutes went to the pump, pumped
some water and washed off the blood
which flowed freely and then walked
up to DR.. Strickler's drug store where
his injuries were attended to. He then
went home, where he was shortly taken
with spasms. 1t was feared by some
that his injuries might prove fatal and
consequently warrant was issued for
the arrest of the boy who gave bail for
his appearance to answer the charge of
aggravated assault. Smith is now rap
idly recovering and will probably be out
in day or two.

y A Madison twp. man few mornings

STATE FAIR NOTES,

A ride of $50 miles south Invest from
this point, brought us to GAINESVILLE, the
present location of our State Agricultur-
al Fair.
The city is pleasantly situated ON the
Rock river, has population of 10000,
and is busy, thriving place, twelve
miles from the state limp, pot central
location for State gathering, but with
all easv of access and in the midst of an
enterprising and splendid farming dis
trict. With Messrs. Emerson and Hall,
two of Manitowoc county's heaviest
farmers, we took q circling drive of
twenty miles through Rock Prairie.
From the city, and for distance of five
miles, the ground gradually ascends
until it reaches almost point. Beautiful
indeed for situation is Mount Zion, its
appropriate name, and which opans TO
view one of the most beautiful land
scapes imaginable. For a distance of
twenty miles on either side an unbroken
prairie, with just roll enough to please
the eye, and the contrast of color, though
not SO varied as just before harvest lat
which season We years ago looked from
the same point is still very beautiful.
Henry Ward Beecher, from the same
mount, said he ''peyer had o grander
view of grander country" For a beau
tiful face we say, Rock Prairie against
the aOorld.
The soil is q warm, dark loan, aver
aging two and three feet deep, and
capable of honoring any draft made
upon it in the shape of crops, and yet
the country has its disadvantage. The
absence of timber of any amount, with
only orchards and occasional hedges Of
poplar, willow and Usage orange to act
as wind breaks are insufficient, and the
wind has almost a clean sweep, and fruit
excepting some varieties Of apples, are
not success.
The scarcity of wood for fuel and
lumber, for fencing and building, and
the depth of water averaging about 100
feet, are serious inconvenience. The
wind, however, is made to do good
service with the aid of wind mills, in
pumping all water for stock and house
hold purposes. Working with tho
slightest breeze and only as needed !;
the mills in use on the majority of
farms give the country an enterprising
appearance. As farmers away from
home, we could not forbear criticism on
their method of farming. The majority
of the farms were large, and the great
scarcity of stock, and large proportion
of their ground in grain was very APP
parent. One farmer was mentioned to
US as having threshed 16, 600 bushels of
oats. At the present market price at
Jaresville, eighteen cents per busheD
he must feel poor indeed. We saw hun
dreds of acres of stubbie being plowed
for spring wheat, at an average depth of
four inches-a ruinous practice. The
grain is generally stacked, but The barns
and out-buildings are small and INSULT
| cient. The rank growth of weeds In
gardens and untidy house grounds,
struck us as not in keeping With such
splendid farms.
The fair grounds, one half mile from
the busin sss centre, is well located, and

Don't READ THIs.-The time being
near at hand when stoves are looked for
as real conveniences, it may be of in
terest to our readers to know Just where
to find the right thing. Ernst Wagner
has opened new store one door north
of his store in which he has on exhibit
ton the largest stock of the newest and
most approved patterns of all kinds of
cooking and heating stoves ever brought
to this city. He cannot be beat in the
lowness of his figures and has already
earned the reputation of price breaker
among his competitors. For instance,
he sells nails at $3.50 per key boiled
lnseed oil at IS cents per gallon, and
all other goods in same proportion.
