the democrats 20 DahlmaE; and second,
the Anu-Saloon league pulled all possible
republican votes TO Metcalfe and Shallen-
berger. This explains why the democrats
received many more votes than the repub-
licans at the primary. Shallenberger must
have received twice as many republican
votes as Dahlman. The object no doubt,
Of Mr.. Bryan IN saying that republicans
are responsible for Mr. Dahlman's nomina-
ton Is 70 give the democratic ticket the in

Mr.. Dahlman,
Mr.. Bryan certainly must have known
he was working on the prejudice Of the

The real cause OF Dahlmans nomination
came from the contention between the two
foremost democratic editors Of the state.

hrs. Beckett in Runaway.

Mrs. L. c. Beckett was badly hurt
Friday afternoon by her horse run
ming away. She was driving, and on
turning down the street from Hayne
to Church street, near the residence
of Mr.. J. R. English, the horse be-
came frightened by boy who pass
ed on a bicycle. Though the horse
was going fast, Mrs. Beckett had Sc
cured control Of him and would prob
ably been safe had not the boy stop
ped on his wheel and held it in front
o; the hore to stop him. This only
frightened him worse and he jumped
of at full speed down Church street.
r saching a point in the vicinity Of
tn, Episcopal church, he dashed
onto the fence and smashed the
buggy and turned it over. Mrs.
Beckett was thrown great distance
and was picked up unconscious. She
was carried into the house of Mr.. O..
W. Kochtitzky, and though a doctor
was called in and found that no bones
were broken, she remained uncon-
scious till midnight. She is now
about over the shock. The horse ran
on home. Mrs. Beckett had just call
ed to take Mrs. r. L. Brewer, her
sister-in-la to ride, but the latter
was not quite ready and she was to
call later for her. As Mrs. Brewer
has lately come from the hospital,
the result would no doubt have been
fatal to her had she been in the
buggy at the time.
