John Denney, young man who
has been working with a threshing
outfit in the country, met with very
painful accident, and what may be a
very serious one, last Saturday
afternoon. He and others were sitting
on the iron railing along the north
side of the First National Bank when
the railing broke, throwing him down
into the stairway. He struck the
stone window sill cutting a deep cash
on the back of his head. about two
inches long, and otherwise ipjurlng
him. He was unconscious for a time.
He was taken to DR.. Connects office
where his wounds we're dressed.

The iron ratings about the starr
ways along the principal streets are
not the safest places to sit as was DEM
onstrated by the accident last Satur-
day. Besides being unsafe they are
made public nuisance by the crowds
about them shutting out the light
from the business rooms below, and
make it very disagreeable and some
times almost impossible for women and
children to pass. A number of men
and boys who are continual loafers
about these places, using profane
language, and making pools of tobacco
spit on the sidewalks, should be asked
to ''move on" by our officers.

shook the building greeted his nomination
of Senator William F. Villas for temporary
chairman. For temporary secretaries T.
l. Clary. Of Grant county: F. F. Worden,
OF Winnebaeo county. and j. b. Grueger.
of Dunn county. were named. The nomi-

began his address to the convention.

NEW YORK, Sept. lit has come at

tr'oos examples and appear as a star in a
thrilling drama. For some time Most
has been in seclusion. and it has just been
learned that he has been organizing and
drilling his company. Those who have
seen Most's whiskers wonld never suspect
Il, but II is T. fact that the gentle anarch-
ist was in younger days an amateur actor
OF some standing. He proposes to star in
nothing less than Gerhard Hauptmann's
revolutionary and realistic drama "Die

Weavers.'
