INJURED IN RUNAWAY
Mrs Shea, POstmiStress at Bates,
Seriously Injured

Washington Enterprise. Last
Tuesday afternoon Mrs A. E. Shea
was thrown from a buggy and quite
seriously injured. Will Peterson
had driven up to her house and she
had asked the privilege of riding
with him to Mrs Hanks. Alighting
from the rig Will had assisted Mrs
Shea to get in, but before he could
regain his seat the team plunged
foreward, throwing him from his
feet and dragging him for several
rods, finally jerking away from him
entirely. Though the rig was not
overturned, the woman, who had
probably tainted, was thrown from
lit with great violence and when
Peterson reached her she was ap-
parently lifelesS, but after working
over her for some time she began to
revive and was taken to Mrs Hanks
residence when she has been cared
for since. The only real physical in
jury was dislocated shoulder, with
other minor bruises. The main diff
ficulty seems to be the shock to the
nervous system which. it is hoped,
she will overcome in a few days.

brother-in-laws or cousins of the
nine-tenths!
1t was funny-this illogical tumble
of self-contradiction by a man as
piring to Congress, and the embar-
rasment on the faces of local leaders
would have been pathetic if the
matter were really serious. 1t was
all much like the celebrated pictures
of George McMannus of the Newly
weds and their baby. They appear
funny to everybody except the par
ents with new and precocious baby
when they take their first one too
seriously.
There were local men on the ros-
trum far and away nearer the con-
gressional class that Mr. Olson.
Bro. Dowdell, of course, did some
better in a brief speech. Why "of
course?" Well-he is a newspaper
man-and couldn't help it.

Taft Drawing the Crowds

Sioux Falls Argus:-There are
fourteen newspaper correspondents
with the Taft special and only four
with the Bryan train. This is not a
reflection on Mr. Bryan, but simply
means that he is an old story and
that the popular interest centers
in the newer man, who is making
his first general bow two the Ameri-
can voter. 1t is the testimony of all
the correspondents that Taft is MAX
ing good as a campaigner, and that
he is drawing larger crowds than
Bryan.

That Democratic "RaIIy"

why should the spirit of mortal
be proud" and plume itself over the
other fellow. or obtrusively flirt
with the grand stand when the other
fellows rally is not a hum-dinger?
1.-THE spirit should not, because
pride may have fall-when its own
rally looks like an automobile party
stranded on country road with no
gasoline, or the sparker out of COM
mission. Hence in mind
another rally-we softly approach
the other fellows misfortune with
the muffler on:
A number of democrats and sever
al republicans constituted a fair
sized audience at the opera house
Friday night-that is, for domo-
cratic rally, in Miller. 1t was their
first meeting, and the attraction was
no less than both candidates for
Congress, Messrs Olson, of the Black
Hills, and Dowdell, of Sanborn
county. After music by the band
Committeeman Healey introduced
Mr. Olson, who stated that he was
to make the heavy speech because
his colleague had a cold and a poor
voice.
Mr. Olson felt called upon to tell
who and what he was. He was a
miner, digging under the ground,
as our toilers dig above ground.
Then he knew the panic of 1907 was
still on, because just recently he had
tried to obtain money in New York
to develop a mine, and his bankers
informed him that money was "still
tight"
He said it was wrong for men to
be blind partizans and vote for their
party because their fathers did, or
because they had happened to be a
member of that party. He said he
feared that was "cheap talk" from
a minority candidat. who could only
hope to succeed by coaxing votes
from the other party, and cited
some precedents from the other
side. He really insisted that a man
should be liberal and not bound by
party. But-as he warmed up to
his work Not a democrat is
wavering this year! "All are lined
up for our party!"
He said the panics of 1893 and 1907
were just the same. One was under
a democratic administration and the
other under a republican admins
tration. The only difference, he
said, was that in the 1893 panic the
banks had the money and the people
had none. while in 1907 it was revers-
ed, the people had the money and
banks were shy! Or, that is-if you
will permit our own phraseology:-
In the 1893 panic many people were
trying to get free soup, while in
1907, the nervous ones were trying
to get their surplus cash out of the
banks, which they could do after a
short time. AS if to clnch this point
of difference between the democrat
ic and republican panics, while tell
ing of the beauties Of guaranteeing
bank deposits. he said it would bring
out thousands, yes millions of dol
lars now hid away by the people!
He admitted that Taft was good
man, a capable hired official. but
and here is his climax-he was chos-
en- by the Chicago republican con-
vention which was composed of
"nine-tenths Office holders" at the
dictation of President Roosevelt!
The lone one-tenth was probably

PROF. jill. SNODDY
PASSES AWAY
Noted Educator Unexpectedly
Called to Great Beyond

James H. Snoddy died at his home
in this city Tuesday morning, after
an illness of few hours, aged "a
years.
Soldier, educator, farmer, filing
a larger niche in the affairs of his
day and age than most men, Profes-
sor Snoddy was suddenly summoned
to join the great majority. His life
was an example of wonderful energy
which never Jagged until death call
ed him. He was a member of the
Christian church, of the G. A. r..
post, and a Mason. He was known
and loved by children and citizens of
Hand county who came in contact
with him while he was County Sup
erintendent, while engaged in teach
ing, or in institute work.
He fought the good fight, and his
neighbors and fellow citizens today
attest to their high respect and re-
gard for this life of struggle and
usefulness.
James H. Snoddy was born in
Hendrick county Indiana, June 8,
1884. In 1854 he entered the N. w.
Christian University of Indianapolis
Butler University. April 13. 1861,
he enlisted in the war as a volunteer
in Co. H. 11th Indiana Infantry, and
served until the war closed in 1865.
Returning to his native state, he was
elected Superintendent of Schools
of Jasper county and served in that
office for six years. In 1861 he was
married to Charlotte Drake, also a
native OF Indiana. To them twelve
children were born, nine of whom
are living.
In 1882 Mr. Snoddy and family
moved to Hand county, to begin
pioneer life upon the great Ameri-
can frontier, in the then wonderful
west. They settled upon a quarter
of government land in Alpha twp,
now included in the Peter Olson
farm, and Mrs Snoddy and daughter
were the first women residents north
of the C & N. w. R'y. in Hand
county. He was principal of the st.
Lawrence high school for six years,
and was elected superintendent of
schools of Hand county in 1898 and
1900, which office he filled with dis
tinction.
He leaves wife and nine child
rem to mourn his loss. The children
are Prof. E. E. Snoddy, of Hiram
college, Joseph, Harvey and Fay, in
business in Miller, Mrs John Doug
lass, of Gilbert twp, Mrs Bart
Douglass, of Cavour, Mrs r. S.
Mead, Mrs Byron Douglass. and
Mrs VIM. Healey, of this city, all of
whom are here to attend the funer,

Funeral services will be conducted

Makes Good" with Crowds

Walking up and down the plat
form, completely at home and full
of his subject, Judge Taft took up
Bryan's record, piece by piece, and
showed how every prediction he has
made in the last twelve years had
been unfulflled, and how he had
struggled from one theory intended
only for the platform to another
theory of the same kind. Every
paragraph of the speech OF Mitchell,
when he addressed in the two meet
ings on the public square and in the
corn palace $1,000 or 10000 people,
was as effective a bit of campaign
oratory as | have heard. There was
no satire and there were no flights
of eloquence. The crowd was not
excited by wild enthusiasm by a
clever combination of phrases, but
the argument was plain, simple,
straightforward and to the point.
