Dislocated Right Elbow.

Saturday morning, while a party
of young ladies were driving, the
horse stumbled and fell in front of L..
M. Nash's residence, breaking the
thills. All the young ladies, were told
by Miss Viola Garrison who held the
reins to jump out. When Miss
Caroline Garrison alighted her ankle
turned throwing her, and in the fall
her right elbow was badly. dislocated.
The horse being frightened from
his fall, started to run, after he
got on his feet. Miss Garrison still
had hold of the reins and with great
presence of mind steered the animal
into the fence. By this time few
men who witnessed the accident
arrived on the scene and released the
horse from the tangled harness.

An Exciting Time.

e. A. Rasmussen, clerk in the Wood
County Drug Company's store, thought
he would do the honors of the day on
Monday and entertain his friend
Albert Huber of Marshtield, by giving
him boat ride upon the waters of
the beautiful Wisconsin. The stage
of water is high and the current is
pretty swift. The two young men
were enjoying themselves below the
bridge viewing the scenery and COM
menting upon the fact that if the
people of Marshfeld had such a stream
of water flowing through her bound
aries the people would go into ecstasies
over it. About this time they dis
covered they were at the head of the
rapids and obliged to go through.
They both thought it was time to
pray but as their education in this
line was deficient, they decided to
brave the rapids and die game. They
landed below the Chicago & North
western railroad bridge all safe, but
delighted in the fact that the boat
was not capslzed. They admitted the
ride was q rapid one and perllous
had the boat struck holder.

OUR BUSINESS MEN.

The business men of this city who
have their hands on the pulse of
commercial life are wide awake, pro-
gres~iye and a liberal body. yer with
their ~. .etrSsion aud lil5eraliiy is
blended a conservatism which inSures
success Their occupation aud ne
cessitieS keep them in touch with the
popular requirements in their partic-
ular line of business.
Among them will be recognized
many excellent specimens of their
calling, agreat majority of whom have
won their laurels in the avenues of
trade. They represent to great
extent the brains and intelligence of
its commercial leaders and the success
they have already achieved is proof
that they know how to keep abreast of
the times in all that goes to make up
business conquests. The pre-eminently
successful merchant of today has dis
carded the slow methods of his
predecessor He is alert and enter
prising to a high degree, and with his
progressive spirit SurmountS almost
overwhelming obstacles and strikes
out in new directions working along
the highways which ultimately lead
to success. They will be found at
their place of business both early and
late with honest endeavors to succeed
and an eye to the future. They are as
representative body as could be found
in any city,-men of fearless integrity
whose word is as good as their bond.
They are not distinguished for their
great wealth. but their bank accounts
are the results of their own industry.
Politics does not cut much if any
figure in the municipal government Of
this city. The Mayor and other
principal municipal officers, also the
Alderman have ever been chosen from
our most progressive business men
and citizens, who almost without
exception have labored for the
upbuilding and best interests of our
city. The demand exists in the form
of very clear cryStalized and stable
public sentiment for a business like
administration of public affairs by
practical business men, and this
demand has usually been recognized
and carried out, thus giving to our
city succession of municipal admin
istrationS whose records in the main
have been good and uniformly devoid
of any faint Or any suspicion of
municipal scandal.
Our present mayor L. M. Nash is
man whose painstaking and unselfish
devotion to the interests OF the city
is beyond all criticism. No man could
be more loyal to personal interest
then he is to the municipal interests
of Grand Rapids and his sufficient
reward, when his official task shall
have been done, like the reward of
those who have preceded him, will lie
in the fact recognized and appre-
ciated by the people that in his
faithfulness he has helped on the
advancement of Grand Rapids.
The Aldermen composing the mu-
nicipal board are found Loyalty holding
up the Mayors hand in every good
work on the city's behalf. The men,
berS of the School Board are practical
business men and good citizens and
all legislation is in consequence
intelligent and broad guaged, having
reference to the city's business future,
not less than to it's present. Under
such supervision of municipal affairs
the administration of the city depart
ment is efficient.

An awning being raised in front of
Spafford, Cole s. COmpany's store
frightened August StOlp's horse
yesterday afternoon tearing itself
loose and furioasly ran down the
street. When the frightened horse
was in front of McCarthy's saloon it
ran upon the side walk and stayed on.
until the sharp corner building was
reached when it changed its course,
no doubt, on account Of the wild
gesturing of Stovey Norton who stood
on the walk. The horse was stopped
near the G. A. r. hall. It was a
mystery to all eye witness how the
horse could keep the sidewalk and
not hit a telephone pole or disturb
the merchants displays between
McCarthy's saloon to the sharp corner.
The only damage was broken bride.

First Assembly
District Convention.

The first assembly district con-
vention met at the court house in
the city of Jefferson last Saturday
at 100 p. m. and organized by the
election Of H. Wertheimer as chair
man and H. ]. Grell as secretary.
Robert Jones of this city was unan-
imousl y nominated for member of as
sembly.
The convention adopted, without
dissenting vote, the following
resolutions:
We, the Republicans of the 1st As
sembly District of Jefferson county in
convention assembled do hereby affirm
our fidelity to the old time principles
of the Republican party as established
by Abraham Lincoln, upheld by
Mckinley and now bravely supported
by President Roosevelt.
We are united in favor Of all taxa
ton reforms whereby corporations
shall pay just as fair a share of taxes
as the farmer, the mechanic, the mer-
chant or the laborer.
We are also in favor of the creation
of a Railroad Commission which shall
stand between the people and the rail
roads as an arbiter in the promotion Of
just and fair rates of traffic and passen-
ger travel and we hereby pledge the
nominee Of this convention to the sup
port of law creating SUI commits
sion.
The dairy interests of this district
are the sole life of the material inter
ests of our people and we do not Wv
with satisfaction the nomination OF
Geo. W. Peck rs a candidate for gover-
nor who from 1891 to 1895 did what he
could as governor of this state through
the prostitution of the Dairy and Food
Commission to build up the filed
cheese industry thus breaking down
the integrity Of our dairy products and
inflicted loss of millions OF dollars up
on the material interests OF Wisconsin.
Of the nominee for assembly it is
quite unnecessary to speak at length.
He is well and favorably known
throughout the district, having for a
iOuS llllIS lcSluSu III lIIlS CIT anu
been engaged in active business. For
many years he was member Of the
mercantile firm Of Rack & Jones.
His popularity was shown two
years ago, when as candidate for
member of Assembly he made heavy
inroads in the normal democratic
majority in the district. That he
will prove a good vote getter now
is an assured fact.
The convention was harmonious
throughout. There was no discus
sion of any kind, nor evidence shown
that their are any halfbreeds
or stalwarts, all mention of those
terms being carefully eliminated from
the proceedings. If the feeling dis
played there were general through
out the state, and the disposition to
work together as Republicans exist
ed elsewhere as was manifested IN
the convention, there won't be no
talk heard of a possible Democratic
victory in Wisconsin. The campaign
in the county certainly starts off
under the most favorable auspices.
