of the two beneficent and ph%ilanthropic
measures for the collection of revenue,

Governor Bob and put on the statute

FOR REGISTER OF THE TREASURY

Last week a petition favoring Col.
T. ii. Reeves for Register of the Treas
ury was circulated in this place. 1t is
needless to say it was signed by all
who had an opportunity to do so, and
that also irrespective of party. Here,
where Col. Reeves made his home for
80 many years, where, in fact, he was
born and raised, he was most generally
known and most highly appreciated.
His life and character have gained for
him the esteem of all men, women and
children, and although a pronounced
and ~steadfast Republican, no one, how
ever much opposed to him politically,
could say aught against him as a man
and a citizen. Ever foremost in any
thing that promised for the good of the
people and the community, he stood
and stands today a representative of
all that is desirable in a neighbor. a
friend, a public officer and a Christian
gentleman.
Col. Reeves has not only received
the hearty endorsement of his old
neighbors and friends, but is endorsed
by the people, in his new home, Nor.
riston' aud by the leading business
men, the bar, bench and officials
throughout the State generally. His
election for the place will reflect credit
upon all the people, and will be a
fitting recognition of his services in the
army and the performance of all the
duties of a private citizen of the State.

1t was stated on Saturday that an
attempt would he made to have James
O'Connell released from the county
jail, the release being conditional on
giving a bond for his appearance at
the November term. Attorney Som
erville was to appear before Judge
Webber and ask for the release on bail.
Thos. Murphy and T. J. Sloan waited
all of Sunday and Monday in this city
for the purpose of giving the bond,
but Somerville did not appear. There
seems to be no doubt any longer of
young O'Connel's innocence in the
whole affair. His story has been as
straight as he could possibly
tell it, varying slightly, but immater-
ially, before and after the arrest. The
fact that young O'Connell was SO
anxious to extinguish the flames, and
made heroic effort to save what he
supposed to be the intoxicated vet liv-
ing form of his father, is certainly
good evidelce that he had nothing to
do with the affair, and that all of his
work was done with the best faith.

in this connection is that the noise

A Bad Runaway Accident In Ro.
chester.

Word was received here last Friday
to the effect that Mrs. G.. E. Weldron
of this city, who has boen visiting at
Rochester, this State, had been seri-
ously injured in runaway accident
at Rochester, while out riding the
night before. The letter to Miss Wal
dron from her mother stated that the
injuries were not very serious, and
that she was able to move around, suf-
fering only from the extreme pains
that always follow a general jarring.
Since that time letters have been re-
ceived saying that Mrs. Waldron was
out of danger and was enjoying her
visit as much as she could wish. The
Rochester Post of last Friday contains
the following account of the accident:
about 6 o'clock last night Mrs. AN.
Rice, and Mrs. Gardner Waldron of
Redwood Falls, who is here visiting,
started to get into buggy in front of
the shoe shop of Fred Pfeffer, on
Zumbro street. Mrs. Waldron was the
first to get in, as Mrs. Rice was
attending to that essential part Of un-
hitching the team from the iron rail-
ing at the place mentioned. Sudden
Iy the team reared up, whirled about
and threw Mrs. Waldron from the
buggy onto the iron railing.
s'The team then started west on
Zumbro street, but was stopped in
front OF Ungemach's cigar store, after
they had nearly jumped over buggy,
the seat of which was smashed in the
wild runaway efforts. The team was
here stopped before any further dam
age occurred.

northwest to southeast, and having a
path at least two miles wide, passed
over portion of Yellow Medicine
county, and the western portion of
Redwood county shortly after one o.
clock last Sunday afternoon.
Residents Of this city casting their
eyes towards the northwest about one
o'clock observed that heavy storm
was coming up and there was gen
eral preparation to meet it. But the
storm here seemed to divide, part OF it
going to the north and part of it to
the south, and as a result there ives
only very light fall of rain at this
place.
The storm crossed the St. Louis
tracks in the vicinity of Harley Falls
and Hazel Run. 1t had eI-eady gain
ed the fullest extent of its fury, &C.
cording to the railroad employees,
who state that small grain uncut at
that time was pounded into the
ground, and that corn was stripped of
it's leaves and tassels far beyond any
expectation of its recovery. After
reaching the tracks at Hazel Run the
storm seemed to come east for several
miles, following along the track until
Wood Lake was reached, destroying
everything in the line of growing crops
in it's path, and after reaching the
western limits of Wood Lake village
it took its southeasterly course, and
sped away in that direction, the center
of the storm passing about seven miles
southwest and ten miles south of Bel
view. Several fine fields of corn just
east of Wood Lake were not injured
in the least.
The storm came into Redwood
county through Underwood and Vesta
townships destroying everything in its
path. It passed over the farm of
Your Uncle James Arnold, of Fred.
Bodie, of Rickells and Blackmore, and
then down into Vail, the hail easing
up as the greatest fury was spent.
Along the entire line of the storm
there was more or less cutting done
probably about half, and the loss to
the small grain can be estimated at
about one-half of its anticipated yield,
while corn will be a complete loss.
Some of the farmers state that the
hail stones we're SO large that they in
jured good many of the shocks,
shelling the wheat and oats, and thus
causing material loss.
One or two farmers residing in the
path brought back the twine they had
purchased for the harvest on Monday,
and the local twine merchants cheer
fully relieved the farmers of paving
for the twine they did not use.

injuries showed two ribs on the left
side were cracked. She received ugly
looking wounds above the right eye
and divers bruises about the body and
limbs.
"While Mrs. Waldron's injuries are
not particularly serious, they are pain
full, and the shock was fearful one.
The wonder is that the accident did
not result fatally"
