Montreville Pierce.

by the death of Montreville Pierce,
which occurred at his home In this city,
last Monday evening, this county has
lost one of its early and prominent pio-
neers.
He was born in Mount Holly, Rnt-
land county, VT, October %, 1922, and
was therefore at the time of his decease
aged 70 years and six months.
He remained with his parents until
he was twenty years of age, when he
left the farm, and from that time until
1854 he was engaged in various occupa-
tions, farming, csrpentering, and clerk
ing in general store, in New York
state and in the place of his nativity.
In 1854 he went to Kane county, Ill,
and on July 2S, 1855, he was united in
marriage with Miss Mary Garfield, with
whom, the following year, he came to
this county, purchased farm in Oneida
township, on which they settled and
lived until 1861, when they removed to
the farm adjoining Delaware, which
was their home until Mrs. Pierce's
death in 1893. For several years past he
was resident of this city.
OfsMr. Pierce 1T can truly be said,
that he was q strictly honest, upright,
and conscientious man, doing at all
times and under all circumstances what
he deemed right and just. He was an
exemplary citizen, kind and affection.
ate husband and parent, reliable friend
and good neighbor.
He was i'll but few days, resulting

About the State Fair.

Des Moines, Iowa, Apr. "a, 1902.
Editor Democrat:
send you today under separate
cover, premium list of the Iowa State
Fair for the year 1902, and wish to call
your attention to several facts regard
ing the Fair. I
First. The Department of Agricul-
ture paid out last year over $19,0OO.0O
il premiums, to over 500 exhibitors.
Second. The live stock exhibit at the
Iowa State Fair is second to none. AT
the fair of 1901 over $50 cattle were on
exhibition, this being about 80 less than
the number shown at the International
stock show, at Chicago, last December,
for which show the railroads in every
part of the U. S. make rate of one
fare for the round trip to attend. We
had more cattle at our fair last year
than was shown at the International
show the year before We had IS herds
of Shorthorn cattle, four more than was
at the show at Chicago.
Third. Last year we had eleven large
cattle barns, two horse barns and large
tent, filled with cattle, and everything
now indicates that we will have larger
exhibit of cattle this year than we had
last. To take care of this great cattle
show, we are building four new barns,
and the Legislature has just passed a
bill appropriating S370OO.0O to build q
stock pavilion, of steel and brick, being
fire proof, similar to the one erected in
Illinois on their State Fair grounds last
year. This stock pavilion will be a
beautiful structure, 225x175 feet, max
ing q show ring on the inside l7Ox12O
feet, with q seating capacity Of about
1000 people. In this building the judg.
ing of our great cattle and horse show
will take place. There will also be a
sale of 100 Hereford cattle, conducted
by the Hereford Cattle Association in
this pavilion one or two half days OF
7 the fair.

The Crop Bulletin for week ending
April 2S, says: "During the past week
the cyclonic winds and dust storms,
which are somewhat characteristic of
the season in this portion of the CONT
nent, eliminated in copious showers,
bringing abundant moisture for pre-
sent needs of the crops in nearly all
parts of the state. Some damage was
caused by the high winds in numerous
localities, and it is likely that seed grain
was uncovered, or too deeply covered
by drifts of dust in many exposed
fields; but the resultant showers
brought ample compensation in the
form of relief to the suffering CROPS.
The fields are in excellent condition to
absorb the moisture without hind.
rance to farming operations, and in all
districts there is large area ready for
the corn planters. A beginning has
been made in the southern section, and
planting will be general if the weather
continues favorable the coming week
Potato planting is now in progress
Grass and grain are making fair growth
Reports indicate that foliage and
bloom on fruit trees are coming as
early as usual. All farm operations are
| well advanced.

WILL NOT COME UP IN MAY.
Third Legal Fight Between the Two
Companies VIII be Heard Before
Judge Marshall.

The great mining suit between the
Mammoth and the Grand Central,one Of
the greatest ever tried in this country
and which has been before the court
twice, viii have a third hearing, this
time In Salt Lake city and before
Judge Marshall Of the United States
court. The papers transferring the fa-
nous case from the district court Of
Juab county to the United states court
were filed with Clerk Letcher today.
The transfer was accomplished through
the efforts OF the defendants, who sup
ported their motion for the transfer on
the grounds OF diversity Of citizenship
Of the two contending companies, the
Grand Central having recently become a
Colorado incorporation. The suit In
wolves over 100000 and as nearly
every one knows Is brought to quiet
title to certain mining properties
II Is hardly probable that the lawyers
In the case win be able to arrange their
pleadihgs In time TO try the great suit
during the May term OF court.
