Killed by the Cars.

A horrible accident occurred last
week at Montfort, resulting in the
death of Henry Parish, brakeman
on the C. & n. W. R'y. The train on
which Parish was employed had
stopped at Montfort for the purpose of
switching. The engine was backing
up three loaded box cars. and the de-
ceased was walking along on the track
ahead of them, when his foot caught
in a frog angle. and being unable to
extricate it, he was run down by the
cars. The wheels pushed him along
some forty feet on the rails and then
run over him. cutting his body in two
at the waist. The deceased was nm
married and had been in the employ of
the Company but short time. He
formerly lived at Platteville, and was
clerk for a number of years at the
Wright House in that city. An inquest
was held and a verdict rendered in &C
cordance with the above facts Galena
Gazette.

Another Wisconsin Murder.

The Richland Republican, Observer
gives a long account of the murder of
Mrs. Lavina Driskill, a woman over 80
years of age in the town of Akan. On
the 10th she went to a corn-field to
work, and that was the last seen of her
alive. Her son missed her on his re-
turn and search was instituted. Friday
afternoon. the 2lst, the search party
found blood stains on pile of deeayed
logs and stones about twenty rods
fren the corn field. From there they
found trail as if some one had been
dragged. leading into the woods to a
gully some five or six feet deep, in
which had been piled lot of sticks
and stones, under which they found
the body of the old lady. Her head
was cut and bruised as if with some
sharp instrument; her clothing was
torn, and quite a number of wounds
were found on one arm and on the
head. After viewing the remains and
hearing some testimony, the jury re-
turned a verdict that the deceased
came to her death at the hands of some
person or persons unknown.

S. ". WIS. |. A.
The Monroe Band Secured for the
Fair.

Secretary McIlhon informs us that
the Monroe Band has been engaged to
play at the coming fair of the S. W.
Wis. /. A. This band is composed of
eighteen members, and has no superior
in the State. excepting Bach's celebrat-
ed Milwaukee band. We think the
Association has acted wisely in secur-
ing the Monroe band, and there is not
shadow of doubt that the musical
part of the fair programme will be
admirably carried out. The officers of
the Association are determined to
make the fair for 1882 superior in very
many respects to any fair ever held in
this section of the west. and it only
remains for the people of southwestern
Wisconsin to do their part to insure a
grand exposition which will reflect
credit upon our industries. The i'm
pertance of industrial exhibitions can
not be overestimated, as when properly
carried out the benefits to be derived
therefrom are very great. The S. w.
Wis. Ind. Association is distinctly a
district organization and by the broad
competition open to the
world it invites all to come and COM
pete for the liberal premiums and
purses which it offers. The officers, as
we have said, are now putting forth
every possible effort to make it still
more worthy of the liberal patronage
and encouragement which has always
been extended to it. Although a few
weeks still intervene between now and
the time of holding the fair, letters of
inquiry relating thereto are daily pour
ing in upon the Secretary, and from
every direction comes the most favor
able reports that the entries in the sew
eral departments will be full and COM
plete.

AND JUST "Now COME NEARER HOME,
AND HEAR WHAT SEVERAL PROM
INENT FARMERS HAVE TO SAY.
First, Mr.. Stephen Terrill, about four
miles east of Mineral Point who cut
his rye last Monday says" My brother
Billy bought Mccormick binder last
year which he and ] used that season
to cut our grain, and now l find the
Champion binder l bought this year
gives me better satisfaction and is of
lighter draft. Farmers are invited to
see it work again, at my place, in fall
wheat, next Friday"
Second, Blotz Bros. three miles
southeast of Dodgeville. who COM
menced cutting their fall wheat on
Wednesday. say: we are perfectly
satisfied. The machine beats our eN-
pectations, and We invite you to come
and see it work
Third, The old gentleman. John
BlotZ, says: 4 am Just pleased with
the machine, and if anybody wants to
buy binder, l can recommend him
the Champion as being the best binder,
for | have seen seven of them work
and would rather have it than any
other machine. 1t is doing splendidly-
On the very same ground where it cuts
now. a harvester l used several years
ago constantly upset"
This machine is for sale by F. w
Stratman 4 Co.. Dodgeville, and \. b.
Ferris, Mineral Point. 1t is warranted
not by blowing but by actual facts. 1t
is well known that the Champion
reapers and mowers are the most dura-
bic of any made in the country, why
shouldn't we expect it to be the samo'
with the Champion binder? Just think
of this.
There will be seven or eight more
Champion Harvesters and Binders at
work in this neighboIhood by the first
! of next week.

Mr.. RichmOnd's Lecture.

Although due notice was given of
the temperance meeting at the Opera
House on Friday evening last, the at
tendance was small, more than two
thirds of the audience being ladies. and
among the few gentlemen present
some were anti-prohibitionists. The
lecturer deserved larger audience, as
many of his interiors have had crowd
ed houses in this city. The meeting
was opened with prayer by the ven era
BILE prohibitionist Rev. J. Hewitt, who
acted as chairman. The speaker briefly
told the object of his coming here, and
throughout the lecture tried to shit
the Devil between the eyes" every
time. He used as an illustration for
his argument the great work done by
Abraham Lincoln and the abolition
party in the determination of slavery,
and claimed an equal power in legisla-
tive enactments to do away with the
evils of intemperance. He stated tn at
the people were controlled by the
brewers of Milwaukee. The speaker
had voted the republican ticket for
twenty years, but if that party was
was going to persist in its awful
wickedness he could not do so again.
He said the prohibitionists wanted
law that would protect the citizen from
the cradle to the coffin.
Mr.. Hallam, District Delegate. pre-
sented paper for the signatures of
those wishing to join the Prohibitory
Association, but was very unsuccess-

dozen prohibition voters were present.
