CAR MIXES WITH PEOPLE.
Walks Into Neuheim and Enters
Public Cafe.

NEUHEIM, September 1.-Emperor
Nicholas motored over from Friedberg
today and visited this resort OF baths in
the most democratic fashion.
He left his automobile outside the town
and walked in. accompanied by two ad-
jutants. AS the party passed through
the streets large crowds gathered and
hailed the emperor. who returned their
salutations.
He visited various objects OF interest
and later had coffee at q public cafe.
From the cafe the emperor returned to
where the motor car was waiting and was
driven back to Friedberg.
While here the Russian monarch ex-
hibited not the least nervousness, though
IT was probably the first time in some
years that he had come SO closely and
freely in contact with the public.

KILLS SELF AF TER
ATTACK ON WOMAN
Cedarburg Man Commits Sui
eide After Telling Wife That
Both Must Die.

CEDARBURG, Wis, Aug 19.-
'FThis is the last meal we are going
to have IN earth. You are going to
die and | am going to follow you, .
said Julius Dunst, so years old, as
he and his young wife were eating
dinner Friday afternoon.
A few minutes later the body Of
Dunst, the head shattered by a gun
shot wound, was found in a clothes
closet in the house.
Remarking that they were going to
have fine luncheon, the husband
went to the store early Friday after
noon and purchased several articles
of food. He helped his wife prepare
the meal and appeared to be in
high spirits But barely had they
sat down to partake of the food
when the man, with a threat to kill
both, leaped at his wife's throat and
attempted to choke her to death.
Struggling desperately, Mrs Dunst
was able to release herself from the
madman's grasp and ran out on the
yeranda, calling loudly for help.
When neighbors arrived they found
the hysterical woman on the floor
exhausted by the struggle The hus-
band had disappeared. Neighbors be
gan a search of the house and fl
nally found the body in the closet.

Approach NeiIIsviIIe and do
Damage in Adjoining County.

NEILLSVILLE, Wis, Aug. 23.-
NeiMsville and nearby parts of Clark
county were visited by storm close
ly resembling a cyclone Monday af-
ternoon. The heavy wind was accom-
panied by a downpour of hail and
rain. The haiBstones were the largest
ever seen here.
dark cone shaped cloud appeared
about O'Clock in the afternoon, rap
idly approaching the city. 1t burst
before reaching Neillsville but not un
til it had destroyed the barn of Fred
W1esner and the Brunihouse in West
Pine Valley and done other damage.
The people of Neillsville fled to
places of safety on the approach of
the cloud, many driving into the coun
try.
An hour later a second cloud of
the same character appeared, but it
broke before doing any damage.

VOTE FOR GEO. P. HAMBRECHT

Wood county has never had one
of her citizens i'm congress Two of
our citizens were candidates at diff
ferent times but failed in nomina tom.
This year we have a candidate in
the person of Geo. p. Hambrecht. He
is far better equipped by education
legal and business training, and leg
lslatlye experience than the present
incumbent. 1t isl universally known
That our present tive in
congress E. A. Morse is a weak ling
lie is known as trimmer He is
anywhere and everywhere and never
In the right place when he is need
ed in the interest of his constituent
He ought mot to be chosen by citi-
zens of Wood county as against a
nome man, more reliable and better
equipped for the position in every
respect We believe that the voters
of Wood county aught to select and
stand by our local candidate and give
him a good strong home endorsement
1t should not be said that he lost
the nomination by the neglect of
The residents of his home county.
Progressive republicans are urged and
invited even though Mr.. Hambrecha
is listed with the stalwarts in the
fight, is neither progressive or
stalwart and he should receive their
votes because he is citizen of
Wood county and naturally, if success
tul, will do everything in his power
to aid this county i'm matters of pub
lie interest. We cam expect nothing
from the present incumbent and he
certainly will have no interest i'm our
welfare when compared with Mr.. Ham
'preoht. Geo. should receive the cor
oral support and endorsement from
ah republicans in Wood county, whe
ther progressive or stalwart. It's a
matter of sustaining one of our citd-
zens as against a stranger. Do your
duties at the primaries.

CIRCUS WRECK
AF TER NOTES

The engine No. 1873 pulling No. Is
was reduced to scrap iron: massive
bars of iron and steel were twisted
into all sorts of shapes.
Two elephants were thrown from
their car and remained helpless.
They were finally dragged from the
track and as they were injured SO
badly that they could not be saved
an attempt was made to poison them
with cyonide of potassium, but it
failed and they were finally shot.
Some great tales of the ingenuity
of the animals were told, for in-stanc
when the elephant car was burning
and the men were unsuccessful in
their efforts to tip the car from the
track one Of the elephants assisted
in tipping the car and helped free
itself and it's mates.
The water buffalo broke out of it's
car and ran little ways with its
sides a mass of flames, then laid
down and rolled until the flames were
smothered, but is badly burned and
will probably die.
When the fire started there was nc
water at hand with which to fight
the fire and pits were dug on the side
w tHt Itdth anu Wdl6I Was OUIdIuSu
in this way and the flames soon
Quenched
This is the second wreck that this
show has had this season. Last
spring in Idaho they were in a
head-on collision and twenty-five val
liable horses were killed instantly
and a like number severely injured,
most of them having to be killed
This wreck was a serious loss to
them, losing two performing elephants
who will be very hard to replace, al
so their fine herd of camels, train
ed ponies and two sacred cattle.
The cars containing the horses were
reduced to splinters and the pecu-
liar part of it was that not a horse
was killed and only a few of them
received minor injuries.
The cars containing the elephants
camels and Shetland ponies suffered
the most and to add to the horror of
the scene, soon after the crash the
cars started to burn and the means
of the dying animals together with
the injured persons, made the scene
one of horror, which it is impossible
10 describe
Nine of the camels were lying in a
heap on the side of the track and
ponies were lying dead on both sides

Unless the voters hear from him
soon they will surely think he means
what he appears to say,-that even
if Senator La Toilette receives an
Overwhelming republican majority III
the state, but Mr. Cook happens to
receive a majority of the republican
votes in Wood county, he (Mr. Win
ther) if elected, will vote for Mr..
Cook and against Mr.. La Toilette,
although the latter is the regular
primary nominee.
The primary election is less than
three weeks away and if Mr.. Winther
expects to get the vote he should
get a hustle on himself and explain.
Mr.. Bean has come out clearly on
the question. He has no possible
Republican choice Of Wood county
to dodge behind when the vote for
United States Senator is taken.

with the exception Of Mr. Dahl, have
been seen by The Tribune. Mr.. Dahl
has made the statement to others and
