AS TO THE NEW PARTY

Usually when a new political party
comes into existence it is in response
to some great public demand or -
meet some great emergency or crisis.
Such organizations usually base their
claim or appeal for public support and
confidence upon some great principle
affecting the vital interests. the liber-
ties or the very life OF the country.
Just now there is "A new party asking
for the support ana confidence OF tho
American people. styling itself the Pro

FATHER FARELLY
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Brakes on Car Refuse to Work When
Coming Down "Buck Grove"
Hill Sunday Afternoon.
COSTELLO HAS EYE INJURED
Car smashes Trough Wire Fence and

reilly Badly Shaken Up.

Rev. Father Farrelly narrowly
escaped serious if not fatal injury
last Sunday afternoon while returning
from Buck Grove in his automobile.
In company with Father Farrelly,
were John Costello, who was driving
the car, and a nephew. In coming
down the steep hill known as the
Buck Grove" hill, the breaks on the
car refused to work and such mo-
mentum was gathered as to cause the
car to crash through wire fence
and strike large tree.
When Mr. Costello found the
brakes would not work he spoke to
Father Farrelly, who started to jump
from the car, but was warned that it
would mean death and to remain quiet
and take chances at the foot of the
hill. The road at the foot of the
hill has a very decided turn and it
was impossible for the driver to make
it, and the car was driven into the
wire fence. The driver had such
firm hold on the steering wheel that
it was pulled from the web, and this
allowed the front of the car to swerve
and strike tree. When the wheel
became loosened the rod struck Mr..
Costello in the eye and made very

Mrs. Georgia Wade Mcclellan and

Mrs. Georgia Wade Mcclellan and
son, J. B., returned Thursday from
Gettysburg, where they had attended
the fiftieth anniversary of the battle
of Gettysburg. Mrs. Mcclellan stop
ped at Ft. Dodge, where she has the
experimenting of the benedict home.
In an interview with J. B., he told
the Review that he had the trip of his
life, and never expected another such
vacation. His parents were so familiar
with the battlefelds, his father had
participated in the great battle, and
his mother had assisted in caring for
the wounded soldiers. Mrs. McClel-
Ian had helped in dragging three dying

they might view the scenes of fifty

fully described the appearance of the
tramp, but also stated that he knew
nothing of the black hand episode un-
til after he had reached Denison.
Mr.. Caine received this written af-
fidavit from Bowling, in Bowling's own
handwriting, on his visit to Bowling's
home some two weeks ago.
Inspector Caine pointed out that
both in the letters received by George
Naeve and in the written statement
made by Bowling the word "sign" is

Mr.. Mcclellan brought his friends
many souvenirs from the battle fields,
and remembered those in Denison
who were unable to attend. Mr..
Francis Gibson, who was a member
of a Minnesota regiment, was remem-
bered, as was Mrs. Mark Wright,
whose husband was in New York
regiment. Sofa pillows, pennants,
miniature canteens, watch fobs, forks,
spoons, pocket knives, candle sticks,
stick pins, tape measures and post
cards made up the collection distrib-
uted among friends. Each souvenir
showed the home of Jennie Wade, the
monument and an excellent likeness
of that lady.
AS soon as it became known in the
camp that Jennie Wade's sister was
at the reunion, Mrs. Mcclellan was
beseiged by hundreds and to each had
to relate her experience during the
battle. Newspaper reporters, old vet
erans, both blue and grey, had to
shake her hand, and at the end of the
day she was compelled to seclude her
self in order to get her necessary rest
The trip will always be remembered
as the one great event in the lives of
the present generation.
