THE PEOPLES CAUSE IN DODGE.

The dry bones of the ring Democracy
of old Dodge are becoming considerably
ratified since the nomination of TIE Peo-
pies ticket. 1t is frst-class ticket, and
its success means money in the pockets of
the taxpayers. The ticket cannot be
elected without work, but the united eff
fort of those opposed to the cause of the
ring in Dodge county will elect every
man upon it. The stirring speech made
in the convention by G. H. Gardner, the
nominee for district attorney, wass re-
ceived with great furore, and when he
said II would rather be the nominee of
such a convention than hold a certificate
of election from the ring Democracy"
the Court House fairly shook with APP
plause.

THE lx0NIA ACCIDENT.

The following relative to the railway
accident near Ixonia, Tuesday evening
of last week, appeared in The Milwaukee
Sentinel of September 30tb:
Late last night The Sentinel reporter
received the following dispatch from La
Crosse, giving the passenger conductor
story: Conductor Tucker says that the
wild freight train struck bis train one
minute earlier than the time it should
have passed Ixonia. which place he had
left three or four minutes before. The
freight consisted of forty box cars, run
ming fast and down grade. The brake
man went back as far as he could to
signal, but the freight could not stop.
The freight engine tore through the din
ing car the whole length, demolishing it
completely and the box cars were piled
up three deep. When the danger-whistle
sounded good many passengers got off
the train and some of them got clear over
the fences into the fields. The man who
was killed, instead of jumping off. stepped
inside of the rallied platform OF the dining
car to look back, and this made him too
late when he tried to Jump"
