Little Leonard Smith met with
a very painful accident last
Thursday evening while on the
way home from school. He and
two other small boys found lad
der on the east end of the Pres
byterian church grounds, and de-
cided to play fire department" /"
One of the boys climbed the lad
der while Leonard and the other
boy held it at the bottom. They
were unable to hold the ladder,
however, to keep it from falling,
and the boy on the ladder jumped
| to the ground. The ladder then
fell, striking Leonard on the
right side of the head, cutting a
cash half an inch wide and three
and a half inches long. The
blow he received was a glancing
one, however, else he would GER
tainly have been killed. As it
was, the glancing blow tore his
scalp loose for about an inch and
a half below the wound. Three
stitches were necessary to close
the wound. and Leonard is uurs-
ing a very sore head at present.
He is through with the fire de-
partment business. i

Special to Times4Republican
nouncement that the Dubuque county
delegation has issued statement
promising I'm the interest and ut the
request of Senator Allison, an equal
division between Cummins and Per-
kins. has practically ended the Iowa
fight so far as Washington interest IN
1t Is concerned. When Cummins car
ried Black Hawk II was accepted as the
last straw. and to have Du-
buque repudiate the Hunter
Kretschmer deaf was too much.
When Allison told your corre-
spondent that he wanted an equal divis-
ion of the Dubuque delegation he
brought on himself a great pressure
from anti-Cummins interests here and
elsewhere to induce him to repudate
the interview. That interview was
branded as fake and a Justification
and there was indignation In Iowa cir
Giles here, but the event proves It's ac-
curacy. Senator Allison is not going 70
repudiate 1t. The dispatch which car
ried that now famous interview pre-
dicted that Dubuque would divide
equally in the state convention, at Sen
ator AL sons request, and the an
nouncement that this plan will be car
ried out is naturally gratifying
There is further trouble here because
of the sad failure of the Shaw invas-
ion Of Iowa Shaw was bitterly piqued
over the Tenth district affair. When
the report gained circulation that La
his chance He would rush out and
save the state from La Follettes hyp-
notism yes. indeed, he rushed, he saw,
and he lost Black Hawk. Now they
say in Washington that La Toilette
saved Black Hawk, because by soaring
Shaw into going there he did more
good for CumminS than could have
been accomplished by a speech of his
own Secretary Shaw's injection of
his own personality into the Iowa cam
paign has been painfully unfortunate.
1t has further injured his standing in
the east. They say he is hoodoo. He
didn't go on behalf of the administers
ton, as is perfectly understood here,
and as he admitted at Waterloo. AT
Sioux Falls he made clear that nothing
was to be hoped for, in the matter of
sress. This was playing squarely into
the democrats hands, and it has in
censed the republican campaign mana
gers against him.
