PLATFORM GIVES AWAY
STAND ON WHICH ROOSEVELT
SPEAKS coLLAPsES.
No One Injured as Fall Was Easy
Colonel Winds Up Campaign
Among Neishbors.

Z Oyster Bay, N. Y, Nov. 5.77-Before a
large crowd of his fellow townspeople,
in Mineola, Colonel Roosevelt put the
finishing touches last night upon his
campaign for the presidency.
AS Roosevelt stepped to the stage
under the tent the crowd of 1900 set
up a loud cheer. Those back of the
from the turf, climbed onto it to get a
glimpse of him. The weight was too
great for, the flimsy supports and
while the ex-president stood at the
front edge of the platform bowling in
acknowledgment of the cheers the
stage gave way with snap. The rear
end sagged until it touched the ground,
leaving the front part up in the air
and the rest of 1t gradually sloping
back
When the crash came Roosevelt was
thrown backwards and clutched the
back of chair with his right hand,
saving himself from falling. A pitcher
of ice water on a table beside the col
onel was thrown into the air, the con-
tents Spilling over the colonel and the
crowd back of him. Those seated on
the stage, were tcppled from their
chairs, but the collapse of the stand
was so easy that no one was hurt.
Roosevelt scrambled back up the
incline to the railing and with broad
smile raised his hand.
Don't worry" he called out. "No
ones hurt. The platform was bit
unsteady. The Progressive platform
wouldn't break down"
This caught the crowd and at once
stilled its anxiety over the colonel
Roosevelt didn't waste any time to get
into his speech.

Fremont Gazette:

Fremont Gazette: Fremont and
Cedar township were almost depopu
lated last Wednesday and Thursday
Everybody almost went TO oskaloosa
to attend the Mahaska County Fall
Festival on those two days and TO get
some OF the delicious roast OK served
free by the citizens. There was some
thing doing all the time and our peo-
pie report most delightful time and
"a big crowd present. When Oska-
loosa starts anything they generally
finish 1t with much credit TO the pro-
moters and this was no exception. In
fact IL was such huge success that
likely IL will be made an annual affair
only extended TO cover several days.

THAT AlIBl,

Now doth the luckless candidate
Bring forth his reasons why,
Oh listen to the murmur of
His fervent alibi.
In earnest tones he tells us,
Where the country sure will go,
But echo only answers back:
''Ha! Ha! told you SOL"
Now doth the luckIess better pay
His debts with fearful eye;
Will someone kindly harken to
His mournful alibi.
oh heartless brother, hear him,
While you spend his hard earned
dough,
But echo only answers back:
"Ha! Ha! ! told you So"

The expression is common: "Peo'
pie were not so particular in former
times in regard to matters relating to
public health" This is undoubtedly
true, but the people were not taught
methods of disease prevention in for
mer times as they are at the present.
In former times curative measures
were employed alone, and all the
world was educated to employ meas
ures TO correct results, when the pro-
per and most economical plan would
have been TO have prevented the re-
suits. "

about half full of poison. She got
worse and was so good and kind to me

that ! knew it was wrong. She and
her husband were not kind to me. I
was only fifteen years old when ! was
sent to them by the orphanage. Mr.
Guaihtance, who was about sixty
years old, mistreated me, and / had
trouble with his wife because he en-
couraged me to be disrespectful to
her. We quarreled one day and he
took her part and maybe that is why
gave her the poison.
