VICTOR, May IA disastrous wreck
occurred here about 1870 o'clock p. m,
resulting in the destruction of several
thousand dollars worth of property
and stock. A west-bound Rock Island
freight train was side tracking at the
east switch when it was struck by an
east bound freight, which was running
on a passenger trains time. Fortu-
nately none of the train crews were
hurt, although all had to jump for
their lives. The engineer, fireman
and brakeman of the east bound train
saw the danger in time to jump and
escaped with slight bruises. The east
bound freight engine, four car loads of
cattle, seven car loads of lumber and a
number of empty freight cars were
derailed and ditched by the collision.
Nearly all of the cattle were killed in
stantly, resulting in loss TO the ship
pers of $50 head of fatted and fancy
cattle, being shipped to market. The
few cattle that escaped instant death
were so badly crushed and mangled
that it was necessary to shoot them to
put an end to their misery.

was to prepare a course of study for a
three years high school course. This

the high school, and to place the whole

however, that he was not hired to
teach the eighth grade, and that he
could not handle it in addition to the
high school. SO, on the opening day
of the term. last September, the

DIES MONIES, May 1S.-Hon. George

state and previous to that a member
of the house from Buena Vista county,
has withdrawn from the race as a
candidate for secretary for the third
term. Mr.. Dobson has had that mat

weeks and his associates in the Ma

been urging him to accept a place of
more activity than he at present en-
joys. This news comes as a surprise
to the republican politicians and the
people of the state. A third term has
been conceded to Mr.. Dobson and he
would have undoubtedly been re-nom-
mated by reclamation. In January
and February there was some talk of
the Hon. Mr.. Borringer of Palo Alto
county, being a candidate, but he
withdrew and pledged himself to Dob
