A Girl Badly Burned.
The Boscobel Dia

Last Friday morning a twelve-year-
old daughter of John Burris, while
playing with the baby near the stove
stopped over in such way as to cause
the back part of her dress to brush the
open CRATE and the dress was instantly
in flames. Running to the bed to get
a quilt she set the bed on fire. Her
mother, hearing her screams, rushed in
from the pump where she was getting
a pail of water and with great presence
of mind wrapped the child with quilt
and extinguiShed the flames. But the
child was terribly burned. From the
shoe tops to the small of the back was
a mass of blisters and raw flesh. Her
condition is critical one, but she i'm
proves slowly each day and it is hoped
her complete recovery is not far off.
She is student of cur public schools
and had remained at home the day of
the accident to help her mother.

A GOOD PROJECT.

From time TO time The Democrat
has in a general way advocated the
establishment Of more industrial en-
terprises in Mineral Point. The rea-
son why the agitation in this direction
has, with few notable exceptions, so
far resulted only in words is, perhaps,
the failure Of anyone to suggest feas-
IDLE schemes, which, by tn invest
ment of the necessary capital, would
doubtless prove successful. Now, The
Democrat has a scheme which is coun-
tenanced by some of our most reliable
business men; and as it is certainly
feasible, and requires but small
amount Of capital it ought to be taken
hold Of Immediately and put into
practice. The proposition is simply
this: The country surrounding Min
eral Point being especially adapted to
grazing, and there being good class
of cows kept in this section, there
should be money made by company
that viii erect a suitable building,
fit it up with the latest and best APP
plianccs, secure Il supply of milk
from the best cows kept in this vicin-
ity, and turn out butter that will
sell at the top-notch market price. 1t
is offered as "A suggestion that meet
ing of citizens interested be called to
consider this matter At this meeting
the ACCESSIBILITY of the project, and the
merits of eXtractors, separators, cream
cries and other systems can be con

Farmers in some parts of Kansas
are selling oats at five cents per bushel.
During the summer numerous high
tariff organs tried to make light of
the advance in the price of binding
Irvine because, as they said, it only
increased the cost of harvesting about
fifteen cents per acre. The increased
cost of Irvine for single farm does
not, perhaps, amount to 50 very much
in dollars and cents; but, to the
Kansan at least who sells his crop at
five cents per bushel, it amounts To- a
good deal in oats,

4 BUSINESS NATTER.

We would call the attention of our
readers to the attractive display of ad-
vertisements in this issue of The Dem
ocrat. These advertisements represent
the live, active business men of Min
eral Point There is no surer index to
the prosperity of city than a good,
clearly printed newspaper, well filled
with home advertisements. 1t speaks
of enterprise and business push, and
shows an appreciation on the part of
advertisers of the value of the local
paper rs medium through which to
address themselves to those with whom
they would form and continue bust
ness relations The men who are doing
the business of Mineral Point to-day
are those who most fully realize this
truth, They secure trade because they
invite trade Individually and col
Iectively, they help to build up the
town, by keeping abreast of the times
III business methods and attracting
customers from distant points. Said
prominent citizen not long since to
representative of The Democrat
believe that the healthy competition
which has existed, and still exiets,
among our merchants, and the con
sequent low prices asked for goods as
weekly shown in the local and adver-
Using columns of both our city papers
have contributed largely to holding
and drawing trade to Mineral Point at
time when large portion of her
trading territory has been apparently
cut of by the construction of new rail
roads in Iowa and adjoining coun-
ties" And his view of the matter is
correct. People do not care to trade
where there appears to be no life or
activity, aud are particularly sensitive
about going where they are not special
~ invited This is true in business
as we'll rs in social affairs. Yer many
read the advertisements as thoroughly
as any other portions of newspaper
and are not slow 70 catch their spirit
and interpret their meaning. The
Democrat has a circulation of about
eleven hundred copies, and is read
weekly by over five thousand persons,
the greater part of whom live within
trading distance of Mineral Point, and
it ought not to require argument to con-
vince the business men of the city that
il will pay them to make liberal use of
the advertising columns of the paper.
Merchants cannot expect to do bust
ness and build up their town without
advertising; neither can local paper
work for the interests of a community
and prosper as it ought to prosper I'M
ing patronage. We are not complain
ing because we do not receive a fair
share of advertising. \ liberal share
of printing and publishing has always
been kindly extended to The Demo
erat; but We particularly desire to i'm
press upon every business man that it
is to his interest to be a liberal and
judicious advertiser in his home paper.
In return he will receive direct benefit
in the increased trade he secures there
by, and indirectly he will aid in build
ing up his town and the newspapers
that are published therein.

dropped dead in the track. 4 cor

was evident there was intense bodily
pain. After the inquest he was taken
