CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
At Intersection Of Boone and Des
Moines Streets Paving Work
men Threatened.

The paving work on Des Moines
street has been finished and the
street opened up for traffic. Quite a
little excitement was created at the
intersection of Des Moines and
Boone streets shortly after supper
Friday evening, when the work
men attempted to draw the hot tar
from the large oven. The fireman
had kept a very hot fire under the
oven all afternoon and when the tar
was taken from the oven the buck
cts would be all aflame, The work
was very dangerous and consider
able caution had to be exercised to
keep the workmen's greasy garments
from catching fire. The men tried to
let it cool by removing the top COW
ering of the oven and inside of five
minutes the oven was a mass of
flames. They at last managed to get
the covers back on and with the aid
of green grass and weeds smothered
the flames, but not until the neigh
borhood was thoroughly aroused.

Ran Needle in Knee.

Miss LIE Vonne Parks, twelve year

Parkes, ran a needle into her knee
few days ago and nothing was
thought of the injury at the time.
but as the knee continued to be very
painful, an X-ray picture was TAX
en- of the injured member. No nee
die was found or revealed by the
picture, however, and it is thought
that the soreness is merely caused
by the needle having touched the
bone when it was run in. No furth-
er serious results are anticipated.

Purchased the Advertiser

CAMPAIGN OF 1884 AND 1885
Democratic Scramble for Spells Up.
on the Election of Grover
Cleveland.

From the History of Hamilton
County by F. @. Lee: In March,
1884, Geo. w. Bell purchased the
Advertiser, and changed the name
of that paper to the Graphic. Bell
was a traveller, writer and speaker
of fine ability, and the Graphic,
though democratic paper, took
high rank among the weekly news
papers of the state. In its first is
sue Mr.. Bell outlined the policy of
the paper in the following language:
eve are not paupers, and ask no
favors that we can not reciprocate
on business principles. We protest
that journalism should not wear the
devious garb of mild beggary.
eve solicit the patronage of bust
ness men and the reading public,
but mean to render a just equivalent
for all favors. We mean to be frank,
generous and good natured, strew-
ing the roses plentiful1y, but care
fully avoiding the infection of pain
!. -. Politically, we stand firmly
and uncompromisingly with the
democratic party, and support dem
ocratic candidates, if worthy.
''In all political controversies, we
shall discuss principles only, believ-
ing that personal abuse or vitupera.
ton is more than a towards weap-
on; being a recognition of the super
iority of an adversary on the form
of reason. Besides, we hate man
who will enter the arena, then strike
below the belt. Our private opin-
ions shall not enter into our local
news. or our business"
THE PROHIBITORY LAW.
The Prohibitory law, which had
been passed by the legislature in the
early spring, was duly signed by the
governor and went into effect at Il
o'clock, a. M, July 4th. At this
time, all of the legalized saloons in
Hamilton county closed their doors
never to be reopened. There was
much anxiety on the part of some of
our curbstone statesmen as to how
a city could endure without the rev.
enue derived from the saloon licen-
ses, but the towns of the county
have grown and prospered without
it, and after twenty-eight years ex-
perience with prohibition, few right
minded people can be found in this
community who would be willing to
see the saloon again established in
Hamilton county. The community
is cleaner, and better both socially
and morally without it.
True, prohibition did not entirely
stop the sale or use of Intoxicating
liquors. The drug store, the "hole
in the WALL and the private club
have always furnished the means of
securing it, but it's sale has been re-
strlcted and the sentiment against
the use OF liquor has steadily grown.
until today, it is generally regarded
as little short of disgraceful to use
it as a beverage even in moderation.
CAMPAIGN OF 1884.
1884 was presidential year. The
republicans had nominated Blaine
and Logan. while the democratic
standard bearers were Cleveland and
Hendricks Both parties organized
marching clubs, the members of
which were personally decorated
with oil cloth caps and capes, and
carried smoky kerosene torches.
Nearly every town had it's brass
band and every important political

Webster City, Iowa, Sept. Z, 1885.
Messrs. G. A. Schaffter, J. P. DoIli,
yer and o. X. Eastman, Committee:
Gentlemen: have your esteemed
favor of the 5th inst, apprising me
of my nomination as the republican
candidate for senator of the Thirty
seventh senatorial district of Iowa
by the convention recently assem-
bled at Eagle Grove.
While the nomination comes un-
sought. unexpected and undesired, /
cannot but feel deeply gratified to
learn, as I do from your letter, that
by the unanimous verdict of the con-
vention, am deemed worthy OF this
high honor.
And through you, gentlemen,
desire to express my profound graf
itude to the many friends at home
and abroad, for the kind congratu-
lations and expressions of conf
dence and trust. Let my future be
what 1t may, | shall ever look back
upon this event with feelings of the
deepest pleasure.
But situated as find myself,
must of necessity decline the nomi-
nation so generously rendered. In
doing this, am well aware that
run counter to the wishes of many
earnest and devoted personal friends.
While this to me is source Of
deep regret, / deem the assurance
unnecessary that upon no lack of
appreciation of the high honor con-
ferred-upon no lack of devotion to
the principles and policy of the re-
publican party-upon no doubt of
the success of the party at the polls
in November, is this declination bas-
ed.
decline because am not in no.
sition to accept. My private bust
ness is in that condition that it
needs my undivided attention. To
do otherwise than decline would re-
suit in the betrayal of private trusts.
These reasons | deem sufficient.
In conclusion, gentlemen, have
found it very hard to say no" to
your kind solicitation, but under all
circumstances, the stern negative
must be sent forth upon its mission
with the kind but firm assurance
that my decision in this matter is
irrevocable, and cannot be reconsid-
cred.
am, gentlemen, yours very truly,

accept the nomination for state SEN

candidates, kamrar, Messervey and

After some balloting. it was decided
that committee of two from each
county should select from the three
candidates the nominee of the con-
vention.
The committee made its choice by
lot, and N. F. Weber of Wright
county, was the lucky man The
other candidates accepted the result
with good grace and Weber's nomin-
alton was made unanimous by the

Should be 'ePinched.o

Considerable recklessness has been
shown by auto drivers when they re-
turn from the ball park after the
games. The drivers shoot their cars
out of the gate at the park and start
up the hill at very rapid speed
and If some car should stop, SER
ious accident would undoubtedly be
the outcome. 1t Is not necessary to
make the hill on high speed and to
avoid serious collisions, low speed
should be used. Too many drivers
act as though they must beat their
follows. It has come to point
where the mayor has issued warn
ing about such driving and auto
owners should keep this in mind.
Drivers also who ride to the Chau-
tanqua in the evenig should remem-
Der that pedestrians have the right
of way. Many old people attend the
assembly and they are unable to
dodge automobiles. Many times
lately accidents which might have
resulted in serious injury to some
one, have been narrowly averted.
High speed should not be used in the
city limits and certainly not at
tempted In crowds such as attend
base ball games and the Chautau-
qua. Those who disregard Mayor
Valentines warning should be
promptly "pinched" by the police.
