A Spectacular Runaway.

Last Thursday Reed & Lennon S
team made a spectacular runaway
from the ware house near the Mil
waukee depot. They ran up to the
Dan Riley home, and into the yard,
between the Riley residence and the
one next door. In their run they
encountered basket of clean
clothes lady was hanging on line,
and when they got past the clothes,
they needed another washing. A big
tree in the yard stopped their mad
run, the tongue of the wagon enter<
ing the tree in such a manner that
it had to be chopped out, and of
course the harness and wagon was
somewhat damaged.

Accident at SpillviI,e.

On their way to church Sunday
morning, Louis Kuboushek, his mo-
Their, Mrs. Wenzel Kuboushek and
Mrs. Jacob Moudry of Calmar, were
seriously injured. One of their hor-
ses became unhitched and the tom
que becoming loose, broke. This
frightened the team so that Louis
could not hold them and they ran
towards the bridge, by Bernatz's
mill, where they struck railing
throwing Louis and Mrs. Moudry
down stone wall about 10 feet
high. Mrs. Kuboushek jumped out
of the buggy before it was thrown
over. DR.. Horton was at once call
ed and later also DR.. Hennessey.

Horse Caused Damage.

A horse hitched to a single buggy
was tied to a post near the church
at Freeport yesterday, while funeral
services over P. c. Delaney We're be-
ing held, and the animal broke the
post off, and started to run, colliding
with several other buggies which
were damaged quite badly, and also
struck the hearse. He freed himself
from the buggy but was caught, a
short distance away before any more
damage was done.

THE OFFICIAL BALLOT.
Secretary OF State Has Forwarded
Form to the County Auditor.

w. S. Allen, secretary of state,
has mailed to County Auditor Shea
a certified copy of the ballot for the
general election to be held Nov g.,
Several changes have been made in
the placing of party tickets this
year. The order in which the par
ties go on the ballot follows: Re-
publican, democratic, progressive.
socialist, prohibition, independent
and non-partisan. In giving instruc-
tions regarding the ballot the secre-
tary of state says:
THE voter who wishes to eXer-
else his full voting privilege will
therefore not only mark his party
ticket according to his preference
but he will go over to the non-parti-
san column and there mark his
choice of candidates for judges. The
press of the state will he doing the
people an important and valuable
service by calling attention to the
change in the law. Every change
made in the manner of voting to
which the electors have become ac-
customed, no matter how simple, is
quite sure at first to casue confu-
sion and this change. even at the
best, is likely to result in the fail
ure of many to record their votes on
the judicial ticket.
Although the list Of candidates
will be certified out this week, cam
didates who wish TO withdraw and
have their names cancelled, may do
so as late as eight days before the
election. In case any state candi-
dates decide not to make the race
at the last minute each county Off
Ger will be notified by the secretary
of state"

WHERE WAS CONNOLLY?

The Democratic press are trying
to embarrass Representative Engef
by showing that he was absent from
the House in the Iowa General As
fsembly. The Congressional Record
will show that Maurice Connolly
the candidate who has no platform
except, Il have stood by the Presi-
dent; now stand by me"-has been
absent from the House of Represen-
tatives at Washington more than
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIVE times at roll call when votes
were being cast on national legisla-
ton.
Either the president has such alb
Isolute control over the votes of Con.
gress that Mr.. Connolly has no mind
of his own as to legislation, and
would not therefore express him
self by vote, or else Connolly has
shamefully neglected his duties as
la member of Congress by being out
working politics during the time be-
fore the June Primary Election, and
ever since working politics prepara-
tory to General Election November
f3rd, while Pork Barrel, WAR
Tax" and Trust Control Legisla-
ton were requiring the best thought
of our Senators Cummins and Ken
'yon. And is it not a notable fact
that Senators Cummins and Kenyon
have had a controlling voice in de-
feating the Pork Barrel Bill, and
in shaping the Trust Control Legis-
Tlation even Of a Democratic Con-
gress. 1t might also be said in this
that Cummins-who the
Democrats are after becasue he "op-
posed President Wilson"-was one
of the most powerful supporters of
the Trade Commission Bill, meas
ure which President Wilson is TAX
ing great credit for getting through
Congress. But where was Connolly?

The queer thing about this capitol
extension which the democratic can
didate denounces as republican ex-

is that it was approved by the votes
of the majority of the democrats in
the legislature who thought it was a
wise thing to do.

THE fact is, taxes are not deter
mined by the assessed value of prop
erty,'' declares the Register and
Leader, but by the levies that are
made upon the assessed value by the
various taxing bodies. And these
taxing bodies all of them act in the
full knowledge of the taxable values
upon which the taxes are to be lev
ied.'
