A MAD DOG SCARE.


A mad dog caused quite q consider
able excitement inP Wells Hollow, last
week Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs George
Bailey, now of Shelton, were crossing
the bridge near the schoolhouse, when
the dog came towards them. Mr. Bail
ey thought first the dog was frolicking
and put out his hand to keep the dog
away from his wife, when the dog
made q dive for his hand, biting and
tearing the hand quite badly. Mr. and
Mrs Bailey went at once to Mr. and
Mrs D. P. Rick's, where doctor from
Shelton happened to be, and had the
hand dressed. The men started out
and succeeded in killing the dog be-
fore he had done any more damage
Mr. Bailey has since gone to New York
where he is taking q treatment at
the Pasteur institute. The dogs head
was taken to Bridgeport where his
brains were examined and pronounced
to have had violent rabies. 1t is re-
ported the dog came from Black Rock,
just beyond Bridgeport.

the morning, to see blaze coming, as
it looked at first. from one of the
houses at Half Way River. A number
started for the scene of the fire, but
on closer examination it was found to
be only large bonfire, just back of
the house which appeared to be on
fire. The neighbOrs have not yet found

tion was celebrating the election or
was just burning up the brush to get

Bes Moines, H., Aug 2.--Thc Re
publican state convention met in this
city under circumstances that mad been
expected to make 1t one OF the liveli.
est ever held In the state Instead 1t
was quite tame. The fight OF Perkins
against Cummins collapsed practically
when the state committee declined to
challenge split by seating the Per-
kins contrasting delegations to an ex.
tent sufficient to give him control Of
the convention. The temporary chair.
man was Horace NJ. Towner. and he
opened proceedings with speech In
glorlfcation Of the party. Committees
were then appointed and a recess =
that lasted until 6 p. m.--was taken
to give them time TO report.
When the convention reassembled
the credentials committee reported,
giving Cummins all the contested Gle.
gates except thirteen from Jefferson
county. The report was unanimous
and was adopted unanimously. Geo.
w. Clark was made permanent chair.

THE ELEPHANT.
He IL Good Natured, Docile, Obedient
and Long Suffering.

He liz Good Natnred, Docile, Obeaient
and Long Suffering.
1.-The elephant is the best natured
beast In all wild creation" said cir
Gus man. Most people have an idea
that the big beast is apt to go wrong
any time and make all kinds of trouble
for everybody. Now, as matter Of
fact, have never but once seen n
freak of this kind. Then the result
was directly due to the intolerable
abuse of fat headed grooms. 1t seems
to me that II some one was putting
steel point or hook into soft joint of
yours or mine many times day and
without any good reason for 1t we
would show temper and tear up things
too. The only difference is the ele
plant has more patience. He is docile,
obedient and long suffering. When
an elephant gets little out of sorts
there is always some lightweight at
tendant. 1t seems, to fly off and say he
Is 'daffy.' Ninety-nine times out Of a
hundred the poor elephant has been
badly treated, and, rs lie cann3t talk,
he does about the cn!y ting liz can do
and trumpets his disgust OF possibly
goes step further and eases his feel
lngs by taking n crack With his trunk
at something within reach. Elephants
are rs kind hearted and tender as wo-
men and respond to little attentions
the same way, and in the same way,
just like n woman, when they get sour
ed, it takes long while to sweetcn
them again If it can be done Mt all."-

John Wesley Holds Record for High
Price Fish.

For some time past the State
Game Warden Lincoln has suspect
ed John Wesley, Of Richland town
ship, of violating the fish law. Dep
uty game wardens have bean sent to
the vicinity Of the Backbone several
times and they verified his suspi-
in several respects.
Last week three deputy game war
dens went to the Backbone to fish
for fishermen. They were A. M.
Green, Of Sioux City, Frank Carson,
of Maquoketa and w. L. dartmouth
of Oelwein, all Of them experts, and
they angled for Mr.. Wesley with
more than ordinary success. They
induced him to bring out his net
and catch and assist in catching fif-
teen nice trout.
An information containing fifteen
counts was filed before Justice
Pearse of this city and Sheriff Hen
nessey arrested Mr.. Wesley and
brought him to town last Friday
evening. On the trial which was

Justice Brewer Talks for Bryan.

Justice David J. Brewer of tn
Unites States Supreme Court was IN
Kansas City last week and was in
terviewed in relation to presidential
candidates.
For William Jennings Bryan h1
had a very cordial word lie com
pared Bryan aud Roosevelt as to
their purity and cleanliness of life.
md said that as for qualities Of hon
esty and sincerity of purpose, as it
has been with Roosevelt, there would
be no scandal in the White House il
Bryan was there.
"This talk Of hysterical people
that the country is going to the
dogs" said Justice Brewer, finds
it's complete dissipation in the
character Of these men. It's very
comforting thing to know that the
.wo great parties have such honest
leaders.
Bryan is honest, innately SO.
The people believe him sincere,
whether or not they differ from him
on political issues. His long stand
ing with his plrty. at the high place
which he occupies, proves that fact
conclusively. If Bryan were chosen
President there would be no need Of
fearing White House scandal. He
would associate about him in Office
Just such men as has Roosevelt, men
in whom he believes, men lie thinks
square and honest. This country is
not going to the bow-wows. That
kind of talk is silly. One has to
stop but moment and think of the
men who are at the forefront in
party leadership on both Sides"

held Saturday, the guilt of the de-
ca,,lo,,& Il

held Saturday, the guilt of the de-
PENDANT was clearly proved.
Under the law the county attorney
might have charged So on each
count, and the game wardens a like
sum, and the court might have fined
the defendant $50 on each count or
sent him to Jail 80 days. If Mr..
Wesley had not been a very poor
man it would undoubtedly have cost
him much more than it did. AS it
is he probably holds the county re-
cord for high priced fish.
The court costs were $22.5O and
they had to be paid in full. The
county attorney might have charged
SO, but he let Mr.. Wesley off for
$40, and the game wardens might
have charged $75and they discount
ed their costs $3.50 and accepted
SCI so instead of $75. The court
might have fined Mr.. Wesley $3.50
or sent him to Jail for 45O days, but
owing to several mitigating circum-
stances the fine was fixed at $3.50
and its collection suspended for the
present. Mr.. Wesley paid into court
the sum of 500 and was permitted
to return home.
The state and national government
spend tens Of thousands Of dollars to
stock the waters of the state with
Young fish, and the game wardens
feel in duty bound to enforce the
law.

The Way Shaw Was Kissed.

Judge Towner, in his speech as
temporary chairman Of the republi-
can state convention mentioned sew
eral famous Iowans. who in his
judgment were worthy of support
and admiration. All went we'll I'M
til he commenced a pleasing tribute
to the ability Of Secretary Shaw,
whom he rated as one of the great
secretaries Of the national treasury.
This pleased the standpatters, and
they set up vociferous cheering. Ii
continued perhaps minute, and the
secretary, who was in the convention
hall, started to rise and express his
appreciation. Almost instantly the
kissing began, led by the delegation
from the secretary's own county, and
extended over the theater and grew
to such a volume that the cheers
could not drown it. The secretary
flushed, then grew pale, sank back
into his seat, and soon after left the
building.

AL Moore's Version of the Shaw Incl
dent.

Al Moore of the Waterloo Times-
Tribune was present at the recen'
Des Moines convention and the fol-
lowing is his version of the manner
in which Shaw was Kissed: "In
common with other leaders of the
party at Washington and elsewhere,
Secretary Shaw journeyed to Des
Moines to attend the republican
state convention. So long as he re-
manned in obscurity, he was not at
tackled, but the moment that Chair
man Towner mentioned the secretary,
in common with other distinguished
Iowa republicans as being worthy OF
Endorsement, the convention hall was
sibilant with Kisses. They started
among the delegates from the Tenth
district, the delegates from which
We're composed almost wholly of pro
gressives. When the standpatters
attempted counter demonstration
by cheering, the enemies Of the sec
rotary bided their time, and when
the uproar had subsidized, the kissing
was resumed with increased vigor. Ii
extended from the Tenth district to
the other delegates, until the minor
ity sound filled the convention hall.
Again it was downed by cheers, but
it emerged once more, more sibilant
than ever, showing a supreme detes
tation for the object Of its contempt
Secretary Shaw occupied box
jointly with George D. Perkins, Sen
ator Dolliver and three ladies', at the
left of the stage. Anticipating that
mention of his name would evoke
the same popular acclaim that had
greeted those Of Dolliver, Wilson and
others, Shaw had half arisen from
his seat to bow acknowledgements,
when the kissing, plain, ominous and
vibrant, began. He stood half irreso
Lutte, embarrassed and deeply hurt.
Then he sat down assuming a posi-
ton that partially screened him from
view behind tie ladies'. Once he
placed one hand to his face as
though to shut out the scene, bni
soon removed it and sat pale and
statue-like through the agony of it
all. Chairman Towner taken vastly
aback, paused in hisaddress. looking
helplessly upon scene such as con
fronts few public men in their ca
reers and which never before marred
the proceeding Of a republican CON
vention IN Iowa. Judge Towner
was SO confused and embarrassed
that he was unable to collect his
scattered faculties and resume the
interrupted thread Of his remarks,
for a minute or two"

strenxth Of m. anen SIX,

"What great deed was ever done In
loors?" writes Emerson Hough in the
Reader. what great thing of the
earth In art, in science, in romance,
was ever conceived and brought forth
within walls? Pathos grows there, and
small tragedy and bitterness and pes
simism, but not great tragedy, nor the
vast and useful pessimism which up
lifts human nature and humanity.
'"The joyous. hopeful, optimistic
things, the large and cheerful motives,
are found beneath the sky. The In
dams say that the babe born in the
wind will be chief, and that might well
be SO. What strong blood ever grew
indoors? What great drama of the
ages was ever played there? What
duel on the stair ever cqualed the bat
tie under the trees?
Science may delvc. lamp-wise, but
what great things even Of science.
came wholly from within walls? Elec-
trlcity, navigation by the stars the
things which have really conquered the
world-did these appear to man as he
studied ut some table side? No. The
great and sweet things of knowledge
came from the naked stars. Guilty
and troublous wisdom may have hous

fess:on that 1t is evil. but before guilty
Eden knowledge WAS out of doors"
