THEODORE DOBBRATz
SERIOUSLY INJURED
While Decorating St. Marks
Church Falls and FrdC-
lures Backbone

Theodore Dobbratz, the we'll known
painter, met with a serious accident
at st. Marks Lutheran church this
morning while he was at work decor
ating the interior of the edifice. He
was at work on a scaffold about TWEEN
ty feet high when it gave way, pre-
cipitating Mr.. Dobbratz to the floor
below AS soon as possible he was re-
moved to his residence, III North
Fourth street, where physicians exam
ined his injuries 1t was found that
he sustained a fracture of the back
bone. The spinal cord is intact but
there is fracture and dislocation Of
the vertebrae. Hopes of recovery are
entertained provided that no pres
sure symptoms develop. Aside from
this injury he also sustained fracture
of the left forearm.
While in a critical condition the
physicians have hopes of his recovery.
Mr.. Dobbratz has been employed for
some time on the interior decorations
of the church as his services as a dec
orator are much sought after, and the
news of this unfortunate occurrence
will be learned with sorrow by all and
it is to be hoped that he will be fully
restored to health

Ernst Kusel at Home

Ernest Kusel, son of Mr.. and Mrs. D.
II. kusel, arrived home yesterday
from Alaska, where he went from Wa
tertown ten years ago and this is his
first visit back to the states in that
time. He is located 60 miles west of
Dawson on what is called the 40 mile
mining district, where he is engaged
IN mining and is prospecting. Mr.. Ku-
Sci left the 40 mile district October 3,
walking overland a distance of 60
miles to Dawson; from Dawson he
took a steamer to White Horse, a dis
lance of 500 miles, then 10 miles by
rail to Skaguay. From Skaguay he
came by boat to Seattle, 1000 miles.
Mr.. KuSel tells of some interesting ex-
periences since he left WATERFOWL,
but says there is no place for him
but the land of the midnight sun. The
climate is fine after one becomes &C
customed to it, although he says he
has seen it as cold as 70 below zero
and that in the month of June the
thermometer goes as high as so de-
grees above, when the sun shines for
% hours. The sun is never seen in
his locality from October until June.
Mr.. Kusel expects to remain here
until March when he will again re-
turn to Alaska to look after his min
ing interests. He notes a wonderful
change for the better in Watertown
and sees many improvements, and is
meeting many old acquaintance who
are pleased to greet him.

A Nonpartisan Issue.

President Roosevelt puts the issue
before the American people in brief
and forcible paragraph when he says:
ITO fail to elect Mr.. Taft would be q
calamity to the country, and it would
be folly, while electing him, yet at the
same time to elect a congress hostile
to him, a congress which under the in
huence Of partisan leadership would
be certain to thwart and battle him on
every possible occasion. To elect Mr..
Taft and at the same time to elect
congress pledged to support him Is the
only way In which to perpetuate the
policy of the government as now car
ried on. feel that all the aid that can
be given to this policy by every good
citizen should be given, for this Is far
more than a merely partisan matter"
There has not been an election since
1854 with issues SO clearly nonpard-
san as the present one. While VIII
liam II. Taft Is nominated for presi-
dent Of the United States by the Re-
publicans and stands on a platform
representing the policies and achieve
ments Of the party, he is pre-eminently
the candidate Of sober, sane, patriotic
American citizenship irrespective of
party.
AS Lincoln stood for the Union in
1864, backed by all Democrats who
were true to the Union as well as by
the Republican party which named
him, as Mckinley stood for honest
money In 1896, backed by men of all
parties who were opposed to Bryan
and partial Reputation, so Taft today
Is the candidate Of all opposed to the
same Bryan and his later schemes of
financial disorder and business dis
aster, as menacing to the welfare of
the community and the credit and
honor Of the national government as
Bryan's former proposal to degrade
the United States to the financial level
Of Turkey and Haiti.
Democrats as well as Republicans
are interested In preventing the dis
turbance to business, the distress to
labor, the danger to the financial integ-
rfty of the nation and Of the moneyed
institutions, which are the arteries Of
national wealth. Bryan, who is now

of a party ticket will still vote the en-

state, congressional, legislative and

longer at the head of the ticket, but
at the bottom in a division set Off by

The candidates for governor head
the ticket and are followed down in

lowed by Comrades w. d. Sproesser
and David Schwieger, who recited
many interesting "reminiscences and
personal experiences during the dark
days of the civil war, which proved a
very pleasing diversion as it recalled
to many of the old comrades present
happy and fearful recollections of the

environments of the present.

A True American Sentiment.

ST will not hit a man when he is
down, even If 1t would win me every
vote In the United States" William II.
Taft, Republican candidate for pres
ident Of the United States, is reported
to have said when asked to denounce
a personal opponent against whom
charges of a serious nature had been
made.
Thus spoke the genuine manliness,
the magnanimity in the nature of Will
liam 81. Taft, which led Mckinley to
say Of him, Hes the broadcast and
most unselfshly brave man l know"
William II. Taft could not take any
one at an unfair advantage, because
1t Is not in him to do 1t. Unaffected
by fear or favor in dealing out i'm
partial justice, he is gifted with that
sympathy for the weak and the fallen
which ever goes with true greatness
OF soul. Every American, be his poll
tics what they may, admtres the char
acter Of man revealed In the impulsive
utterance Of William 81. Taft, and the
candidate who would not kick a man
when he is down If it would win him
every vote In the United States" will
win all the more votes by words so
expressive of a sentiment deep treas
ured In every true American heart
