The WHEEL BROKE
While Going to Shiloh, Causing
an Accident.
Buggy Fell to the Ground-Mrs. III.
&. Wilbur Badly
Injured.

Last week Thursday Mrs. j. l..
Lloyd accompanied by Mrs. II. C..
Wilbur had an experience the like OF
which they do not ever care to get
mixed up in again. On the day in
question they were driving to Shiloh
with +. l.. Spencer's horse and buggy
having engaged it to make the trip
intending to return in the evening.
While riding leasurely along mile
or so east of Charles Melle's place in
Orleans one of the buggy wheels col
lapsed without any apparent cause
letting the body of the vehicle fall to
the ground.
Mrs. Wilbur who was sitting on the
left side went out first and the crash
of the break down frightened the
horse into a run. Mrs. Wilbur had
become tangled up in one of the
wheels and was dragged along the
ground for quite a distance, The
animcl finally stopped and Mrs. Lloyd
who was badly frightened but FORUM
ately not hurt found that Mrs. Wilbur
was badly bruised and also had suffer
ed fracture of her left leg.
While they were considering how to
get some where for assistance, far
mer came up with load of apples
and in some manner Mrs. Lloyd says
she dosen't know how, they managed
to get Mrs. Wilbur up on the load and
she was taken to Chadwick. No ply
sician could be found and Mr.. Dorr
who keeps a store there, very kindly
hitched up his rig and brought them
home. Mrs Wilbur suffered intensely
from her bruises and DR.. Stanton who
was called to attend her found beside
other injuries that the small bone be-
tween the knee and ankle had been
fractured. She is improving very nice
ly the doctor states and the ladies are
considering themselves very lucky to
have passed through the experience
without more serious results.

In the CITY.
opponent I

The vote in the city was a light
one only 649 ballots being cast and
there was considerable splitting of
tickets. Governor Bliss ran behind
about 60 votes making his majority
only ll5. The Prohibitionists polled
IL votes. l. L, Hubbel for the senat-
orship had friends enough to cut down
LaFlamboy's majority to only as
which makes the former feel that his
friends stood by him nobly.
This is how they voted, only the
head of the state ticket being given:

Election is past and for an off year
the showing in favor of republican
principles and policies is a remark
ably good one, the people are evidently
in no mood for change and the re-
suit of Tuesdays vote throughout the
county shows it in very marked and
forcible way. The majority in the
state comes up to the usual strength,
the latest returns showing majority
for Bliss of $4,000. All the Congress
men in the state are elected expect
one, the first district went democratic.
WnN Alden Smith is elected over
Myron H. Walker by good majority.
Michigan will have IL congressman
in the National House of Representa-
tives. A clean sweep was made in the
county, the ticket being successful
with an average majority of 700.
+. f. Fales for sheriff getting next the
largest of any candidate on the ticket.
He wins by $50 votes more than his
opponent.

Connell had arranged to take in a

The Ionia Sentinel, always

The Ionia Sentinel, always correct
in compiling returns, says:
On light vote, as compared with
that of two years ago the republicans
in Ionia county, scored a substantial
victory, electing every man on the
ticket by safe majorities, in spite of
the swiping which some parts of it
received in Ionia city. The plural
tiles range all the way from l57 TO 9S4.
William Alden Smith and Herbert Z.
Powell are the only candidates who
were not tackled for losses in some
precinct.
The total republican vote for War
ner, secretary of state was 3799,
against 50S0in 1900 for the same can
didate, falling off in the republican
vote of 1881.
Governor Bliss received 1886 votes
against 1869 two years ago, loss of
1882.
Governor Bliss received only 2l3
votes less than Warner, secretary of
state, showing that number of repub-
licans in the county either did not
vote for governor or voted for Durand.
William Alden Smith heads the
ticket with a total vote of 3S69-70
more than Warner and l247 less than
he received two years ago.
Here are the majorities in the coun-
ty which are as nearly correct as can
be ascertained:

Coal Strike Shows What
Trusts Are.
Chairman Jones Expresses Him
self on the Situation.

New York. Sept. 1O.-senotor James
X. Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of
the Democratic NATIONAL committee,
Is here and in an interview today
made some statements In regard to the
anthracite coal strike and it's possible
effect on the forthcoming Congress
slonal election and the Presidential
campaign in 1904. He said:
"The coal strike in Pennsylvania is
clearly demonstrating to the people
what trusts really are. 1t has never
been shown so clearly before, not even
In the instance of the beef trust.
There is no doubt in my mind that
this strike will have the effect of elect
ing many Democratic Congressman.
II NAV mean, and / think 1t will, n
Democratic House. The effect will
be felt to Democratic advantage In
every State in the Union. OF course,
Pennsylvania is Republican strong
hold, but l have reason TO believe that
there is cause for the great dissatis-
faction accentuated by the coal strike.
The election of Pattison for Gov
crnor is more than probable.
In New York State think the chances
are capital for the election of Demo
cratic congressman. No matter if the
strike is settled in the near future,
the people have seen what trusts are
capable of doing and the effect will
remain"

man Griggs, of Georgia. chairman of

committee, in conference here today.
