DOLL|VER DAY
AT K|R0N
IMMENSE THRONG GREETS
IOWA'S JUNIOR SENATOR
Kiron Adds Laurels to Her Fame by
The Great Gala Day.

Senator j. P. Dolliver spoke to a
crowd of more than thousand people
at Kiron on Wednesday afternoon last.
1t was the greatest day the little burg
has ever seen. The people came from
every direction. Boyer, Ellis, Deloit,
Schleswig, Vail, Denison. Odebolt and
all the surrounding townships were
represented by large delegations and
Kiron handled the big crowd splen-
dldly, showing hospitality and cour-
tesy which could not be excelled. The
merchants of the city had planned to
make this great day as we'll as a poll
tical meeting, and ar extensive pro-
gram of races and sports was arranged
which took place both before and after
the speaking. Foot races, shooting
and tug of war furnished amusement
TO the crowd before the meeting and
pony races kept up the fun after the
speaking was over. Kiron had but a
few days for preparation and therefore
deservesa all the more credit for the tre
mendous success it made of the meeting
Anyone who thinks Kiron is asleep has
but to look at the we'll kept little city,
with its many new dwellings. its large
and prosperous appearing stores and
the bright faces of it's business men.
1t was but few moments when
Mayor Pomroy called the meeting to
order from the temporary stand which
had been erected for the speakers.
The Kiron band with its excellent
music had also largely contributed to
the success of the meeting and toward
keeping the crowd good-natured until
the first speaker was introduced. The
first on the program was Mr.. F. w.
Meyers, who spoke for a short time
concerning the republican county tic
ket and the merits of it's candidates.
He told of the common sense way in
which the republicans of the county
had proceeded to select men who were

Mr.. M. Bohart has been making
tour of the far west this summer. He
visited the famous Willamette Valley
and says it is the finest country the
sun ever shone upon Had it not been
for breaking of old ties he would have
been tempted to have made that
country his home. He meet Mrs, D.
Riddle and reports the old Crawford
county people as most happy and pros
porous. SO aq
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1901-10-25

This lesson has been taught by all the
great men of the country in their lives
and the teaching of modern democracy
that there is no hope for the youth.
that conditions are nbearahle,is wrong
aud unjust and unpatriotio.
We have not the space to give evena
synopsis OF the senator's great speech
to the people of Kiron. He dwelt par
ticularly upon the Importance OF elect
ing republicans as members of the
legislature and paid eloquent tributes
TO Mr.. Hogue and Mr.. Langan. Mr..
Hogue had already been given an op-
portunity to address the crowd for a
moment and his modest little speech
had made q most favorable impression.
After the meeting Senator Dolliver
and Messrs. Hogue and Langan held
an informal reception during the
course OF which hundreds of voters
grasped their hands and many prom
ised to stand by the republican ticket
and its candidates.
Candidates M. P. Ryan, G. w. Won
Coelln and j. G. Smith were also pres
ent and made many friends. Geo.
Myers was there but it was not his day
and the last we saw of him he was
sitting on back stairs across the
street from the meeting and looking
like the last rose of summer.
We feel that we cannot say too much
concerning the hospitality of Kiron
and the way in which it entertained
and managed the big crowd. All felt
that the day was splendid omen Of
success and encouragement and en-
thusiasm were in the air.

Governor Shaw is in the Ohio cam
paign. At Springfield he spoke with
Governor Nash and Senator Hanna.
OF his speech the Springfield Daily
Sun, an independent paper. says:
"Governor Shaw of .Iowa followed
Governor Nash at length. He is a
very happy speaker, one whom the
audience is 10th to see approach the
conclusion of his address. He has the
happy faculty of driving his points
home with a hammer which has a
humorous ring and hits were as nu-
merous as they were happy. 1t was
he who produced the argument of the
evening, and it was done in such a
thorough and logical manner that even
Senator Hanna did not see fit to i'm
prove upon it. Trusts, imperialism,
the money question, and in fact all the
paramount issues between the two
great parties received attention at the
hands of this orator who seemed to
have his tongue dipped in equal parts
OF vitriol and honey and when he had
finished the audience showed plainly
that it had listened to an address, few
as good as which have ever been heard
in this city. "-Des Moines Capitol,
Oct. "a, 1901.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1901-10-25

especially adapted for each office, he
spoke of the action of a democratic
convention condemning third terms
and called attention to the fact that
two democratic candidates were asking
a third term and urged upon all to vote
for the republican county ticket be-
cause it contained the best men,
MIR. Victor Dolliver, the gifted and
eloquent brother of the great senator,
was the next speaker. We do not wish
to hurt the senator's feelings but con-
tidentially we would tell him that when
he rigs up with Victor he is trotting
in pretty fast class. Mr.. Dolliver
spoke for more than an hour and his
speech was again and again Inter-
rupted with applause and laughter.
His stories were original and funny
and pointed, his epigrams terse and
not easily forgotten, his logic was clear
and concise and his argument convinc-
ing. One of his epigrams that will
stick with the people who heard him
was when he spoke of the Spanish
war. He said "They blew us up in
Havana harbor, and we came down
elsewhere. He did not impugn the
motives of democrats Or populists,
but called attention to the mistakes of
these parties and to the benefits given
the people through republicanism.
After the meeting it was about even
money as to which had made the better
speech, the Senator or his brother.
Senator Dolliver was greeted with a
perfect ovation when it came his turn
to appear before the people. He paid
rare tributes to Gov. Shaw and to Con-
gresham Conner and talked for few
moments of his early campaign expert
ences in Crawford county with such
men as Hon. H. G. Laub and j. Fred
Meyers. His friendly and familiar
manner gained the friendship of the
audience and made them the more
ready to listen. when he took up the
life of that great republican, William
Mckinley, as his text.
One of the first lessons he said that
he had learned from Mckinley was the
Importance of going to the polls. In
every election Mckinley had voted, no
matter what the Inconvenience or the
cost. He said, that the republic was
not endangered from those who did not
vote right, nearly SO ! much as from
those who did not vote at all. Another
lesson was, that there is chance for
young men without friends or fortune
to make their way in the world if they
| have the grit and determination to win.

Run Over by Freight Train Yesterday.
Death Follows Soon.

DCnth OllONS hJOVHs
On yesterday afternoon Olof Larson
section foreman on the Illinois Central
stationed at Ellis was run over by a
west bound freight train. He died in
a few hours as result of his injuries.
There are number of accounts of the
accident 1t is said that Larson and
his gang of work men were returning
from Deloit to Ellis on their hand car
Before they had time to get out of the
way fast freight was upon them.
The men jumped and were in safety,
but Larson rushed back and attempted
to get the hand-car off the track In
this attempt he lost his life. 1t is said
he called upon the others to assist him
but they felt the risk was too great
1t was fine sense of duty which i'm
PEELED this man to risk his life to save
the property under his charge. AS a
result of the collision, Larson's skull
was fractured in two places and his leg
below the knee was reduced to pulp
He was at once brought to Denison and
was given the very best care by the
company's physician, but he died at
O'Clock last night. He leaves a wife

son was comparatively rich man hav
ing about sl5, 900 saved as the result o

The people of the east part of the
county are strongly resenting the un-
worthy attacks which the Bulletin is
making on their friend and neighbor
Hugh Langan. The republicans are
making no boasts but are saving wood
aud will make splendid showing in
Crawford county this fall. Hugh Ian
gan will run ahead of his ticket in
nearly every precinct. Honest John
Smith is making splendid impression
on the voters of the comfy. The
orphan northeast corner will be re-
presented on the board after this year.
Bob Harris of Missouri Valley is in
Denison to-day comforting with local
democrats as to plans for the election
of John Careyif such thing is possible.
Republicans should note that the demo-
Gratis are making their hardest fight
this year to elect John Carey. Itseems
to be matter of the greatest import
ance to democracy, important enough
for Mr.. Romans TO make special trip
70 Lincoln and secure Bryan at great
expense to speak in the district, and
yet the republicans of Denison are told
that it amounts TO nothing and Mr..
Carey goes about asking old time re.
pulicans to vote for him as matter oi
compliment, Why are the democrat:
devoting all their time and energies
toward the election of Carey if it is
of no political Importance? Why does
the Bulletin pour out its venomous lies
chiefly against Mr.. Hogue who is ar
honest and an honorable man, if it is s
matter of no political Importance? Car
any republican read these signs of demo
cratic strenuouness and be fooled there

NEW TRIAL GRANTED.

Judge Cray has granted the applica-
ton of the defendant for new trial,
in the case of 81. L. Schmitt VS.. the
State Bank of New Richland and
others. The court does not state on
what ground the new trial was
granted, but the motion of the defend
ant was based on surprise, newly dis
covered evidence, and because the de-
cision was claimed to be contrary to
law and not justified by the evil
dence. This is the action involving a
81, 600 mortgage on Mr.. Schmitt's resi-
dence, which he claims to have paid
in legal services.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
INFURIATED MOB BURNS A NE.
GRO AT THE STAKE NEAR
WINCHESTER, TENN.
DEAF TO ALL ENTREATIES

Leading Citizens Plead With the
Crowd to Let the Law Take Its
Course-criminaI Charged With
Assault and Murder-Prisoner Ad-
mits His Guilt and Claims to Be
Going Direct to Glory.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 26.-Harry
Noles, the negro who criminally as
saulted and shot to death Mrs. Charles
Williams, wife of prominent farmer
near Winchester, Tenn, last Friday,
was captured at Water Tank, near
Cowan, Tenn. He was taken to Win
chester by his captors and placed in
the county Jail. Sheriff Stewart made
haste to try to barricade the Jail and
protect the prisoner. Soon an angry
mob of several hundred men gathered,
but Assistant Attorney General Matt
Newhittaker appeared and made
speech to the crowd. He appealed to
them to assist him in allaying excite
ment and UNFOLDING the majesty of the
law. He promised to reconvene the
grand jury to promptly indict tue ne
gro and have him speedily tried at the
term of court, assuring them that his
conviction and legal execution was
foregone conclusion. This appeal was
supplemented by Judge j. J. Lynch,
Captain w. P. Tolley, Joseph M. Lit
Teton, Foster Ramsey and others. No
sooner had their appeals been made
than several hundred citizens from
the neighborhood where the crime
had been committed came up and
augmented the crowd to thousands.
They swept forward upon the Jail,
overpowered the sheriff and his depu-
ties, took the prisoner and started for
the scene of the crime, II miles dis
tant, at 1915 a. m. The mob was or
derly but determined. 1t seemed that
the whole population for miles around
had turned out to see the fate of the
wretch.
A Procession Three Miles In Length
followed the mob to the Williams
home. Arriving at a point near the
scene Of the crime the negro was
placed on stump and given a chance
to make a statement. He mounted
stump stolidly and laughed as he
began his statement. He said:
"Tell all my brothers and sisters to
meet me in glory. am going to make
that my home. Tell my mother to
meet me where parting will be no
more"
He was then asked if any one else
was implicated in the crime. Noles
stated emphatically that there was no
one else implicated but himself.
"Why did you kill Mrs. Williams?"
he was asked.
81 just done It because had moth
ing else to do"
He finished his statement at 1880
.. m. He was taken from the stump,
