Reynolds Wins the Race.

Sail Lake Herald, a: The pedes-
trian contest at the Pavilion last
evening terminated very abruptly, a
little before 8 O'Clock, by Swift, who
at the time was ahead and seemed to
be the fxvorite, fainsing and falling
over onto the hatd concrete floor, in
capable Of making = movement. The
circumstances seem to be- substan-
tally, as follows: The men were
crOwding each other veryaelsssly snd
both had made good records, Swift
being i've laps ahead. The tsctic of
Reynolds was noticeable fromlts Pc
cullarity. He would keep up with
his antagonist lap after lap, and now
and then dodge into his dressing
room where. 1t Is supposed, he was
rubbed down and taken the best Of
care of, this process hardening him
and exhibiting all the evidences Of
superior training and management.
Swift, who was In the lead,
was apparently advised to
keep at it, and his continuous tread
Ing must have told on him feartully:
for, when tho heat which resulted in
his defeat was commenced, Reynolds
began the pushing process, OCCASION
ally running ahead with apparently
slight effort, while his tagged OPP
ponent had to make desperate spurts
to overtake and pass him, all the
time drawing on his already over
taxed energies. It was cow plainly,
. question Of endurance, with Reyn-
olds, the more vigorous and capable
man. Swift held on pluckily, show
ing the best quality Of grit and deter
mination, and appeared confident
that the five laps in his favor should
not be reduced, but. If possible, in
creased. The running process was
continued until the parties had
scored q clean two miles, at the rate of
at least six miles IN heur, but Swift
was showing signs Of WEAKNESS, was
breathing hard, and his efforts were
painfully labofed; whereas his OPP
ponent bounded around the
tan-bark arena as though he
had just come on the track
aud had done no previous work.
Swlft's trainer, approached him
while he was making his first lap in
the forty-fourth mile, and offered
him a sponge. with which to refresh
himself, and as he was reaching tor
it he was suddenly overcome by a
weakness. and after a slight trepida-
ton through his whole frame, he
tumbled headlong from the track
onto the hard floor, Is stated above.
He was Immediately surrounded by
several persons, anxious to render
aid, and was shortly conveyed to his
room, where, being comfortably dis
posed, Drs Benedict and Fowler
were sent for. These gentlemen, on
their arrival, pronounced the case
one o. exhaustion, and after presclib-
ing such temporary .r~estOrations as
the EAST demanded, the unfortunate
man was taken to the Valley House
in a carriage ordered for the purpose.
All this time Reynolds was pursu-
ing the beaten path, but was finally
notified that further efforts were use
less. as it was impossible for his OPP
ponent to contest the struggle any
longer. He concluded with a score
of IS to So miles in his favor, thus
winning the match and the money.

The most surprising news of late 10
our people was the information that
Mr.. Bagley, station agent of the G..
NJ. & st. ?. R. r. Co. in Centralia,
had been requested to resign his posi-
ton. No reasons being offered for
their action it was Immediately sur
missed that his active political work
for the republican ticket was the main
reason for this undeserved action on
the part of the company. The gener-
al impression that prevailed was that
Mr.. T. E. Nash, the railroad candi-
date for che assembly, was at the
bottom of this piece of underhanded
work. The Indignation was SO gener-
al throughout this section that mon.
ster petition signed by the business
men of Centralia and Grand Rapids,
regardless of politics, was sent in to
the company and MIR. Bagley accom-
panied by Mr. G. j. Jackson, departed
for Milwaukee to inquire into the
reasons for his discharge. The comp
any gave as an excuse that Mr.. Bagley
had omitted to check out a box of
curtains belonging to Mr.. Neeves
some time ago, but which was on it's
face no just cause for discharging him,
when they acknowledged in the pres
ence of Mr.. Jackson that he had
done their business faithfully and more
than kept it up. They offered him
good recommendations and passes if
he would accept them. All this goes
to show that the discharge was based
on some other than business grounds.
Mr.. Bagley does not believe Mr.. Nash
was instrumental in securing his dis
charge and exhonorates him from all
blame. However, it is evident that
the st. Paul Company is supporting
Mr. Nash for the assembly and want
him elected. Mr.. John Love former
ly of Junction City takes his place.

We ask the farmer, the mechanic,
the laboring man, the merchant, the
manufacturer, will you vote for L. E..
Nash, the tool of the railroad?
Hon. Isaac Stephenson called upon
the citizens of Marshfeld Thursday.
Mr.. Steph'n was interviewed by many
of the old soldiers and promised their
cordial support. He has made fine
record as representative of the
people. The poor man receives stten-
ton as well as the rich man. The
interests of the Ninth district are
perfectly safe in his hands. He will
secure large vote and will without
doubt be elected.
eff any bastards wish to oppose me
because / am working for the railroad
company, [ want to move out Of the
county" The above are nearly the
words of T. E. Nash in the fremont
house Wednesday. Farmers, laboring
men, business men, and honest men,
because you are opposed to railroad
legislation, because you are opposed
to legislation in favor of monopoly, do
you wish to have the above fling made
at you Rise up, stand on your man
hood, and let US show T. E. Nash that
Wood county can get along without
him. Let us show him that we wish
a man to represent us and not the
railroad company.
T. E. Nash, in his classical speech,
tells the farmers that he comes before
them as railroad man; he then tells
them, that it is to their advantage to
elect railroad man to the legislature.
He says that some time ago the rail
road company had large contract to
let for getting out wood and ties, and
states that through his mighty infu-
encs parties in Wood county secured
the contract; and that farmers along
the line found ready market for wood,
ties, ETC.; and that thereby they were
able to clear their lands and live. Why
does not Mr.. Nash also state that his
brother secured that contract, and that
it has been curse and detriment to
the farmers along the line? Why does
he not also state that his brother has
the biggest kind of a monopoly on
cord wood and ties, and that no farmer
can sell wood and ties to the railroad
company except through his brother !?
Thereby paying profit to a middle
man who is none other than T. e.
Nash's brother O yes, Tom wants
to be fair, and he wishes to be honest
but he can't
