A very serions accident happened
to X. w. Keefe and wife on the even
ing of the 18th inst. Between 10 and
IL o'clock they were returning from
Kamilchie in a one-horse rig and while
coming down the long hill south of
town the horse ran away throwing
them both out of the buggy. Unable
to rise Mr.. Keefe called for help. Dug
Shelton, the Waterman, and parties
living in the neighborhood hurried to
the hill to learn what the trouble was
and found both the unfortunate peo-
pie lying helpless upon the ground,
each having the right leg broken just
above the ankle. They were taken home
and DIR. Wells hurriedly summoned
who set the broken bones. Mr.. Keefe's
injuries are rather the worst of the
two, being a compound fracture, the
bones protruding through the flesh
besides otherwise badly bruised, hav-
ing evidently been dragged or whipped
around by the revolution of a wheel.
Mrs. Keefe's injury is square fracture
of both bones and she also received q
wound below the left knee which cut
to the bone. The doctor says it will
require most of the summer before
either of the unfortunate people will be
able to resume their regular avoca-
tiOns. Mr.. Keefe is hard working
man, not in the best circumstances,
and this double blow is very serious
one. He is member OF the Wood
man lodge, and that order will see
that they are well cared for.-SheltOn

Death Of J. IL. ElswIck.

Our community was shocked by the
death of friend and neighbor, J. r.
Elswick, who died Wednesday evening
at 10 o'clock from cancer OF the throat.
He was born Nov. q, 1850, in Monroe
county, Iowa. At the age of nine
years, he, with his parents, moved to
southwestern Missouri near, the Kan
sas border. Working on the farm
summers and going to school winters,
at the age of 20 years, he had received
sufficient education to allow him to
get certificate to teach school until
1874. He then took a trip through
New Mexico and Colorado, returning
in 1877 and married Miss Lizzie
Fletcher, of Butler, Missouri.
In 1890, with his family, he moved
to Washington, locating at Belmore,
where he has since been engaged in
fruitgrowing. His labors, education
ally, have been greatly appreciated by
his neighbors, both in the Sunday
school and public school. His appre-
citation in the district has been shown
bp their Jealous efforts to keep him in
rs Chairman of the School Board
since the organization of the school
district. He will likewise be greatly
missed in church-work as the Superin-
tendent of the Sunday school. He
leaves wife and three children, one
son and two daughters, aged parents,
three brothers and two sisters and a
host OF friends and neighbors to mourn
his loss. The funeral was held at 2
o'clock to-day from the house, Rev.
Mcdonald, of South Union, officiating.

to recognize or comprehend the ordi-
nary amenities that pertain to official
life. The action of majority of
these people is no more than might
have been expected from men whose
environments have been that of the
village, the cross roads, the country
town and the barn yard. Inability to
comprehend the ordinary amenities
which obtain among gentlemen in Off
cial life is the only explanation posi-
BILE. They seem to have no just COM
prehensiOn of the scope, magnitude or
compass of an official act. Being sud-
denly and Unexpectedly elevated to
position, for which they have neither
fitness nor training, intoxicated by the
dizzy heights to which they never
dreamed of ascending, has not sobered
them as it does strong men, but rather
filled them with insolence and ego
tism, plainly demonstrating their
limited capacity for public life. /
have never known of an official where
this is so manifest as in Gov. Rogers.
See with what brutal coarseness he
throws it all off; the flippant manner
in which he dismisses the entire mat
ter in regard to Mr.. Jones. II have
spoken"-"After me, the deluge."
"To this last expression of mine con-
corning Mr.. Jones, have nothing to
add or take away and with this leave
a comparatively unimportant matter"
Yes, unimportant no doubt to his
excellency, but not to Mr.. Jones. The
failure of Mr.. Jones to be appointed
Warden of the Penitentiary is of little
consequence to him or to the public,
but not SO in regard to his good name,
a name he has jealousy guarded for
nearly half a century. Branding such
a man as BLACKBOARD, a falsifer and
a drunkard, bringing disgrace upon
him, his wife and children, is no small
matter to an honorable man like Mr..
Jones. 1t may be, and doubtless is,
an unimportant matter to Rogers, or
for that matter to any man who has
no reputation to lose, but to a man
who is not and never was defaulter,
or who is not execution-proof, it is o
very serious matter, even coming from
the source it does. Here is a man
high in the councils of his party who
has just come out of successful fight,
manifesting great energy and ability,
applying for very responsible office,
at the earnest solicitation of the Gov
ernor. He files his application and is
assured that he shall have the Office.
When his case comes before the Gov
ernor and the board, he is charged
with very grave offenses; charges
which could not be ignored. Under
such circumstances, it was the plain
duty of his friend, the Governor, to
say to the board, 1--WE cannot afford to
brand the reputation of this gentle
man; let this remain state secret
until Mr.. Jones can be heard. Let us
wire Mr.. Jones to appear before us
and purge himself of these charges, or
withdraw his application. 1t is one
thing to make charges; it is quite an
another to substantiate them. We
must not condemn him upon mere er
parte hearsay charges" This is the
course that would have been pursued
by these people if they had wanted to
do right, provided always that they

DEEP CREEK" JONES.

The following communication has
been handed us by one of the leading
citizens of this community, whose
sense OF justice impels him to write a
few words in defense of a gentleman
who, although of different political
creed, he respects and honors for his
many sterling qualities of character.
ED. STANDARD:
have known Mr.. Thomas II. Jones
well and favorably for many years.
We are not of the same political faith,
but must say, take him all in all, he
he is an honorable man, good citizen,
good husband and father in fact up
right in all the walks of life.
Knowing these facts as do, l pray
for space in your valuable paper that
| may call attention to few facts
connected with the unfortunate and
unseemly features now disgracing the
public service in this State in regard
to the controversy between Mr.. Jones
and portion of the Board of Control
and the Governor. Let us, for one
moment, look at the facts: Prior to
this treachery, or bad faith, upon the
part of the Governor towards Mr..
Jones, he was regarded by all who
knew him as man of honor and pro-
bity, an intelligent, sober gentleman.
He now goes out into the world brand
ed by his party associates as falsitier,
BLACKBOARD and a drunkard. Such is
the reward an able ally receives at the
hands of the Governor and majority
OF his board. There can be but one
excuse or palliation given why all fair
minded men should not brand these
officers as vilifiers and ingrates. The
mantle of charity is their only refuge,
their want of knowledge, their ignor-
ance of the duties of public officers is
their only excuse, and an utter failure

were sufficiently versed in statecraft
to hold the responsible and delicate
positions they occupy. They natur-
ally would have shrunk from doing an
injustice and wrong, had they pos
sessed any of the training and in
stincts of gentlemen, or had they been
versed in the official amenities that
pertain to official life. FAIRPLAY.

The extreme low tides have shown
that that there are is a large stream
of water coming from the foundation
of the fill at the draw on Fourth
street lately made under contract
with the general government by the
dredger Oakland. Whether, how
ever, it comes from springs, or from
the bay above the fill, is a matter of
conjecture, as if the latter suggestion
is true, there is absolutely no evil
dence of an inlet at the base of the
fill on the upper side, at the lowest
stage of the tide. If the water enters
from there it must be by passage
that is at all times covered with
water. What the effect will be, in
either case, time will demonstrate,
but the apprehension cannot be sup
pressed that running stream of
water is menace to any sort of an
embankment that is not composed
solely of solid rock.

Defender, the winner of the cup in the

rie. The length of the new boat, yet
unnamed, is 80 feet over all, 104 feet
beam and 6 feet depth of hold. She
will have sloop rig and carry 1900
square feet of canvas. On her bottom
will be bolted a false keel of iron, eigh-
ing 5000 pounds, held by massive rods
running through keel and keelson,
which will keep her "steady" under
the large spread of canvas she will
carry. The new craft will be ready
for launching in about two weeks,
when doubtless a gala time will be
had over the christening of one of the
neatest, and it is hoped the fastest,
yachts on northern waters.

1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not

was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
