At'TO RUN'S INTO DEEP GULLY
Ulas Inea Pardy of Oakland Seriously
lajarod Saturday Evealng.
Miss inea Purdy of Oakland, la., was
brought to the Jennie Edmundson - Memo

Miss Purdy had shown no signs of return

The accident in which Miss Purdy was

About three miles east of McClelland the
bridge over a deep gully on the main road
had been broken down about a month au
by a traction engine and the township
authorities had constructed a temporary
bridge some distance below, but had failed,
It is said, to place any. protection at the
point where the old bridge had been. This
waa unknown to Mr. Piles, who was driv
ing the big touring car, and the conse
quence was that ths machine, with Its oc
cupants, went Into the gully, which at this
particular place is about fifteen feet deep.

The Misses Carson escaped without any
bones being broken, but were badly bruised
ud cut. Kay Plies, owner and driver of
the car, had his right arm rractured at
the wrist, while Milton Purdy bad an arm
fractured and his nose broken.
All of the members of the party were
iken to a nearby farm house and a doc

committee, reaching their-daugnter's aide
about 1 o'clock yesterday morning. The
other members of tbe party were taken to
their homes in Oakland during tha day
and Miss Purdy was brought to the Ed
mundson hospital in this city, in the
Lenocker automobile on an improvised
stretcher, after consultation with Dr. Don

JDE8 MOINES, Aug. a.-(Ppeclal.)Work-
men will be busy every night, as well as
day, till next Friday to complete tha build
ings undar way In time for the state fair.
A big army of workmen are on the grounds
and trA.OOO Is being spent this year In
buildings and Improvements. The new
amphitheater, which Is the chief lmprove-
nunt. Is not completed and will not be till
the last minute before the fair opens. The
steel framework Is completed and the
chairs are being Installed. The brickwork
1 now In course of construction and the
Irorl fence about the whole Is being erected.
The cattle and horse bams now being put
up will not be finished a minute too soon
for the opening.
There are many new features of the fair
thla year. The usual order of Judging
horses In the foreroon and oattle In the
afternoon will be followed. Ths races will
be held each afternoon, with vaudeville
performances between heats. There will
be the hippodrome and vaudeville In the
stock Davlllon at nlcht and Pain's battle
of the clouds In front of tne amphitheater
each evening. There will be bands galore
playing everywhere, with more cattle, more
horses, more farm machinery, more sheep
and poultry and hogs and more attractions
than the fair has ever known.
Some of the chief attractions this year
will consist of two model S500 cottages. In
cluding furnace heating plants, one of them
Just west of the amphitheater and the
other Just west of the fire station. There
will be an exhibit by the State Agricultural
college, never before attempted. In which
classes will be- conducted for both girls
and boys. Just as they are conducted at
the college, so that the fathers and mothers
can see Just how their sons and daughters
are handled. There will be personally con
ducted tours of the grounds In which farm'
era and their wives will make up the
parties, and students from the college will
take the gray beards about the grounds and
tell them the fine points of the blooded
stock and farm machinery.
There will be an agricultural exhibit In
the agricultural building that cost 12,000
and is worth anyone's time to see.
Every year the Iowa state fair beats all
Its former records and this year It la
counted, will be no exception to the rule.
Tl tre la already assurance of more and
better exhibits. The only question of
record breaking remains in that of attend
ance.
Rales an Whlaky.
State Food and Palry Commissioner H
R. Wright will hold that whisky Is whisky
till President Taft rules otherwise, whether
the whisky Is "straight" or Scotch
blend. President Taft Is expected to make
a ruling soon on the matter which has
been left to him. It was left to Roose
velt once and he decided that "straight"
whisky -was the-- only- whisky. - The blend
people objected and it is claimed Just be
fore Roosevelt left the office he changed
his opinion, but the ruling remains. Presi
dent Taft now has the matter before him
to decide.
Byers te Coaacll Blaffa.
Attorney General Byers will go to Coun
ell Bluffs next week to look into the mat
ter of the street car franchise with Coun
ty Attorney Kimball. Some months ago
at the request of the Council Bluffs peo
pie the attorney general started an Inves
ligation that disclosed that the company
had never paid the filing fee as a corpor
ation and had no right to do business.
The company then promptly paid $16,000 as
hthe fee. Now It Is claimed that the fran
chise Is still In a muddle because the
company has been granted different fran
chises In the course of time. To straighten
this out Is the object of Mr. Byert' visit.

Brran Bart
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 21. (Speclal.)-Chrls
Gruenther refused to come to tne chatr at
the brad of the democratic state commit
tre, connetiuently the committee very kindly
picked up Its bclonRlngs and went to Chris.
And so the headquarters it Ine commit
tee for this campaign will be located at
Columttus inntead of Lincoln. What Tom
Allen will say to this when he gets home
and what C. W. Bryan will say. when he
returns, of course, cannot be stated, but
the Bryan family will very likely be some
what put out. In the last campaign Tom
Allen and Arthur Mullen devoted their
time exclusively to the campaign of Mr.
Bryan. Gruenther spent all of his time
In the Interest of Shallenberger and had
nothing to do with the Bryan campaign
and cared less how It terminated In Ne
braska. But at the conclusion of the cam
paign Tom Allen and Arthur Mullen took
charge of Shallenberger and trruenther was
left with the Back to hold, to say nothing
of the unredeemed promises he had made
to workers over the state.
While the governor thus forgot the man
who made him, democratic workers did
not and when the state convention met
Grupnther was offered the Job, but re
fused it. Then Dr. P. L. Hall, the wisest
of them all, hit upon the schema which has
been carried out. He had his committee
select Senator Byrne for chairman and
Gruenther for vice chairman. Then he
moved the headquarters to Columbus. It
is the hope of the committee that when the
excitement of the chase is on Gruenther
will lend his assistance and endeavor to
build up again the machine which Mullen
and Allen have disrupted.
F.lectlon Boards Denoaaeed.
The people of Lancaster county are just
now expending considerable energy In de
nouncing the poor work of their election
boards. Inasmuch aa proper returns have
not yet been made to the county, the can
vass of the vote had to be stopped and,
though the city Is being searched thor
oughly, several mUsIng tally books have
not yet been located and neither has the
man vald to be responsible for them. It
is not likely that the missing books will
cut any figure In the final result of the
eleotlon In this county, but incompetent
election clerks and judgea have been ao
frequent here that the voters have finally
got tired of 1L
The election to vote high school bonds
fell by tha wayside because of the Incom
petent work of the election board, and the
voters had Just about recovered from their
ir.Jl.natlon over that when along comae
another election and more incompetent
work.
All of which dees not mean that all the
eleotlon boarda are composed of incompe
tnts, but that enough of the boards are
Incompetent to delay tha canvass of the
vote.
Just how all of this Is to be remedied
has not been figured out, but it Is prob
able the officials will call upon more re
liable men to act In the capacity of eieav
lion Judges and clerks and thn force theoj
to act under the law. Aa It is now the
election boards are made up regardless
of qualifications. Though some of the
clerks and Judges have been serving for a
generation, no improvement has been
noticed In their work.

Lone Grave Revives
Memory of Pioneers
Skeleton of Man, Onoe Protected by
Armed Cowboy, it Dug- Up
by Ditch. Gang.
BRIDGEPORT, Neb., Aug. 22.-(Bpeclal.)
H. A. Noltes' force of men unearthed
a human skeleton while at work widening
the Bolmont canal west of town on Tues
day and while nothing was found to Iden
tify the remains. It la believed to be all
that is left of a cowboy who died and was
buriod in that Immediate vicinity eight
een years ago, .
Whon the canal waa being dug It la re
membertd that a cowboy named Bradley
warned the men employed In the work not
to molest the grave of his friend which
marked a spot across which the survey
ran.
It waa proposed it that time to move
the body of his friend to some other spot,
but Bradley would not agree to this and
It Is said he armed himself with guns
and ammunition and camped on the ground
to protect the grave. Aa a result a curve
waa made in the ditch knd tha Incident was
forgotten until In the work of Improving
the canal the bones were uncovered.
It Is remembered by some old settlers
that a burying ground was maintained
there years ago and that a score of hardy
men were laid to rest near that point, but
the old cemetery Is perhaps eighty rods
from ths spot where thla skeleton was
found.
It 1 aald that old Camp Clark furnished
a goodly portion of the corpses that go
to make up the "city of the deal" and It
Is remarkable that Just now when old
Camp Clark Is about to awaken to the
sound of the looomotlve whistle that this
Incident should occur to awaken the mem
ories of tha stirring days when the old
