How Watch Cases are Made.


Tnc many great improvements intro
diged in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
rrovemcnts in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount Of cutting and soldering, which
so.tencl the metal and gave it the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity = silver.
Under the improved methods, c ch part
of tie Keystone Silver Watch Case IS made
of one solid piece of metal haiImc. -, into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammerin5
har.lens the metal while soldering soitens it,

Silver Watch Case, take one of OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight Of any other make will give enough

Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

seven hours and return at 8 p. m.

regular fare, it is remarkably cheap,

LEWIS -CARKEEK WRESTLE.
WHICH WAS THE BEST MAN QUICKLY
SETTLED WHEN THEY MET on
MONDAY.

NorHING of a local nature has
created more spirited interest in this
city, Darlington and Dodgeyille for
months than the wrestling match
between Lewis and Carkeek which
occurred at the latter place on Mon
day Of this week.
Since Lewis downed knight some
weeks ago many have regarded him
as unconquerable, while Mr.. Car
keek, who came from Michigan
crowned with much glory for one so
young, had numerous admirers and
hackers.
The struggle was Cornish style,
best two in three falls. At precisely
3 p. m. they met in the ring on the
fair grounds and shook hands, and
at 500 the contest was decided in
favor of Carkeek. Only four bouts
were had. In the first both men
went down together, with Lewis
slightly uppermost, but it was no
fall; the general supposition is that
Carkeek permitted it to encourage
the hackers Of Lewis and lead them
on to betting. The second bout
was all-sunicient to convince the
1000 spectators that Lewis was a
mere child in the hands of Carkeek.
The latter drew toward him his ad-
yersary (of supposed IIerculean
power) by inches and with one
hand, until in position to suit him
self, and then planted him on his
back with apparent ease; first fail
for Carkeek. The third bout was
declared no fall, although Lewis was
under man decidedly. The fourth
and last round was quickly termin-
ated by Lewis going down square
on his back "kerflop."
As stated last week the two men
were pretty evenly matched in size,
weight and age. Carkeek being 8
feet 10 inches in heighth, $50 pounds
weight, and 22 years Of age, and
Lewis feet 94 inches in heighth,
about 100 pounds weight and year
or SO older than bis competitor.
Which possessed the most strength
can scarcely be determined, but it's
certain that the victor was fully as
strong, while he exhibited much
more athleteness, judgment and Gun.
ming.
Sporting men from Michigan,
Milwaukee and adjoining towns
were present. Betting was decid-
edly in favor Of Carkeek, whose
backers picked up a good many odd
dollars. The winner realized some
shino over $500 from gate receipts.

BEwARE,-Look out for profess
sional beggars of old clothes. They
are canvassing all small towns aud
cities, and go in pairs, one reason
ably well dressed and the other
shabbily attired. The seedy party
is the one who does the importuning
principally, while the better dressed
stranger stands at distance outside,
and takes charge Of whatever his
companion may be fortunate enough
to have given him. They collect in
abundance Oh the plea Of poverty
and destitution, and sell to dealears
of secondhand clothing in Chicago,
who renovate and repair the articles
and dispose of them to the poorer
classes at a good profit. We sug-
gest that if you have any old clothes
to give away, see that those know i
to be destitute in our city have
the benefit, instead Of such peram
buiating, lazy fellows.
