George Graham Injured.

George Graham was quite seriously
injured on the Milwaukee train as it
was pulling into Celmar last Tuesday
evening. He was taking down the
bell cord at the front end of the train
and had it about half wound Oh the
reel when he was given signal to set
a brake on one of the freight cars. The
loose end of the cord fell to the ground
where it became fastened and formed a
loop about George before he had reached
the top of the car he was climbing.
The motion of the train caused the
cord to tighten and George was thrown
upon his face on the reel which was
fast unwinding. His nose was broken,
and he sustained several bad bruises
upon his face. 1t was unusually lucky
that the accident did not prove more
serious, for it is wonder that he was
not thrown down between the cars.

Winneshiek County Fair.

Winneshiek county will have fair
this year which every man, woman
and child within radius Of one-hun-
dred miles ought to attend. In our
recollection we have never known, not
even at state fair such fine class of
amusements offered to the public. The
reason largely is that the officers feel,
and have felt since it was determined
to have fair in 1897, that in order to
place Winneshiek county on the de-
sired footing, supreme effort would be
necessary, and that effort has been
made; an effort that only such men as
are at the head of the society can make
DIR. Daubney, president of the associa-
ton, is progressive in all things. He
says: "If we can not have our home,
our fair, our beautiful city, our unsur-
passed county, our senatorial district,
and our brightest commonwealth
among all the bright stars as counted
on Old Glory, each taking my first and
best thought and effort in the order
given up with the rest we must put
forth more zeal and greater effort"
Mr.. Frank Baker, the genial treasur-
er, urges the attendance and spares no
pains to assist in every way to make
the fair of 1897 win. Frank is loyal to
his home, and to him grand old Win
neshiek has first place. Secretary
COffeen, whose energy and push in
stock matters has added largely in CIV
ing Winneshiek county better hogs,
better cattle and better horses than
were here fifteen years ago when he
was elected secretary for the first time;
while his influence and work in educa-
tiOnal lines has aided much in giving
us strong educational and business
young men he seems more active for
the fair of 1897 than ever before,
and says the public will be satisfied
and pleased if they attend the fair of
1897.
Ben Bear, assistant secretary, the
pusher in all progressive matters and
father of the greatest celebration ever
held in any city of the size of Decorah,
and the great business man of the
west says 1.-The fair of 1897 must please
the people,"
We have now told you of the officers;
they are working many hours each
day for which the most of them will
get nothing. Let the public do their
part and the fair of 1897 will, like the
celebration on July 5th, be something
we can point to and ask other cities
or counties to equal.

Still More Protection.

In addition to all the safeguards
previously adopted, the Winneshiek
County Bank here and their branch
bank at Calmar have been equipped
with Witherel's Electric System
Nearly all successful bank robberies
are now perpetrated in broad daylight;
frequently at the noon hour when a
part of the bank force are absent. This
device is so arranged that should
Cashier Holway be met at any of the
portals with demand to "throw up
your hands," he can without being
noticed send out an alarm to several
business houses where loaded weapons
are always kept ready for use. Any
other employee of the bank can do the
same from there respective stations.
There is also night attachment that
is turned on when the vaults is closed,
and should a burglar attempt to enter
therein an alarm would be started that
may be heard some distance from the
bank This alarm continues to ring
and cannot be stopped until some one
of the bank force arrive.
The banks have as fine safe and vault
works, as money will buy and the man
agement have never spared pains or ex-
pense in making the deposits of their
patrons absolutely safe, and with this
additional security they feel that their
banks are as safe as it is possible fol
banks to be.

SHAW THE NOMINEE.
Result of the Republican State
Convention at Cedar Rapids
Last Wednesday.
An Unusually Strong Ticket and Plat
form-RepOrt of the Proceedings
of the Convention.

The Republican state convention,
held at Cedar Rapids last Wednesday,
was one of the largest and most en-
thusiastic that ever convened in this
state, and the result of it's deliberations
meets with universal satisfaction
among the republicans of every section
of the state. The convention was the
Waterloo of the corporations and COM
bines, and it can be truly said that the
"machine' and its candidates were
strongly denounced and defeated. The
convention was held in large tent,
under which sat 1547 delegates besides
about 5000 interested visitors.
The convention was called to order at
eleven o'clock by State Committee
Chairman Mcmillan; he introduced
Rev. w. F. Barslay, who offered a
prayer full of patriotic eloquence, after
which Mr.. Mcmillan announced that
Charles M. Harl, of Council Bluffs, had
been chosen by the state central COM
mittee to act as temporary chairman,
who delivered speech which held the
close attention of the convention, and
repeatedly ELECTED hearty applause.
The other temporary officers were:
Secretary, J. s. Morgan, Dubuque; as
sistant secretary, H.J. Green, Decorah; !;
reading clerks, w. s. Kenworthy,
Oskaloosa and Paul McClam, Creston;
sergeant-at-arms, Major w. G. Dows,
Cedar Rapids; chief doorkeeper, r. T..
jeffrey, Carroll; committee on arrange
ment, w. ID. Lee, 5th district; John
Stevenson, 10th district; Il. l.. Green,
4th district. After the speech of chair
man Harl the convention adjourned
until two o'clock, when it was called
to order The committee on creden-
tials reported every county duly repre-
sented and the committee on perman-
ent organization reported the following
officers: Chairman, Samuel Mahon,
Ottumwa; Secy., A. V. Proudfoot,
Warren county; Assistant Secy., w. s.
Kenworthy, Mahaska county; Record
ing Secy., Nj. s. Stookey, Decatur
county; Assistant Sec'ys., p. e. Bar
mum, PocahOntas county, and II. b.
Barnes, Buchanan county. Chairman
Simmons reported in favor of allowing
no nominating speeches, which was
adopted. Chairman MahOn was intro
duced and endeavored to make q
speech, but the convention was eager
for work, and would not listen. He
called for nominations for governor
and Parrott, Harlan, Fuller, Harsh,
Flickinger, Shaw and Funk were
quickly placed in nomination. An in.
formal and two formal ballots were
taken which resulted as follows:

Thos. Dwyer Hurt.

Last Tuesday afternoon as ThOs.
Dwyer was about to sit down upon the
sidewalk in front of the cellar where
Emil Rosenthal is erecting his new
store building, he rested one foot upon
a stone which gave way and he was
thrown against the top of the founda-
ton wall, from whence he rolled down
upon some rocks i'm the bottom Of the
cellar. His neck, breast and shoulders
were quite severely bruised and he
would not go home or consult physi-
clan.

MORE AFTER THOUGHTS.

We said to our readers last week that
we believed an investigation before the
courts of the matters charged against
DIR. f. w. Daubney by the DecOroh
Republican, relative to the transaction
between him and his uncle, Geo. Dob,
ney, would result in the complete vim.
dication of the doctor. Prior to our
last issue the widow of Geo. Dobney
and the executrix of his will, through
her attorneys Willett & Willett, pre-
sented her petition to Judge Fellows,
setting forth that she believed DIR.
Daubney had wrongfully and unlaw-
fully taken possession of certain notes
and securities of the face value of $1,000,
belonging to the estate of Geo. Dobney
and was wrongfully and illegally with
holding them from her as the execu-
trix of her husbands will, and asking
that DIR. Daubney be required to ap-
pear before the Judge and submit to an
examination touching such matters
and said securities and the right by
which he held them. An order was
issued by Judge Fellows directing DR..
Daubney to appear before him at De-
corah on August Goth, and to bring
with him such securities and submit to
an examination, as the law provides.
Pending this proceeding it would have
been improper for us to have discussed
the details of this matter in these col
umns. DR.. Daubney did so appear at
the time appointed and had with him
all of such securities but one (which
had been paid and was examined by
the attorneys for Mrs. Dobney, fully
and at length, explaining fully and in
detail the transactions with his uncle;
when, how and why the uncle had
made the transfers to him; that his
uncle had told his wife before his death
that he had transferred to him (the
DOCTOR portion of his property, and
that on the Sunday after the burial of
his uncle he himself had told her of
these transfers.
At the close of the examination the
Judge made an order as follows: "The
court finds upon the showing that the
petitioner is not entitled to an order for
the delivery to her of the property here
in question, and the proceedings are
dismissed"
Our readers will readily see upon
reading the above that this case as
sumes a very different aspect when
tried before Judge Fellows than when
tried before Mr.. Bailey. We were con.
fident that there was no truth to the
charges made and consequently deemed
it wise to withhold comments until af.
ter the proper tribunal had rendered It's
decision.
DIR. Daubney assured us from the
start that every one of the charges were
absolutely false, and would be sc
proven, and we were more inclined tC
believe his statements than those OF
his personal enemies. AS we have
said before we believe that the charges
were made for political purposes only
and are loath to give credence to such
degrading, disgusting charges, especi
ally when they come from known per
sonal and political enemies of DIR
