Gan Hunter, bridge builder for
Cass county, was visiting his friends
hereabouts the first OF the week.
The dry weather has made work in
his line very agreeable, but has also
made few bridge repairs necessary.
A few washouts would create n
boom in his business, but he smiles
upon the prosperity of others and
bides his time, awaiting the fall
rains.

vas umbrella to protect them from
the rays of old Sol. This comfort
is afforded them by Evan Davis,
whose advertising enterprise has
prompted him to furnish the sun
shades decorated with such orna.

Evan will be forgotten as long as
the people can read.
Mr.. $. ID. Scoville met with q
very painful accident last Monday
and one that may deprive him Of tn,
use of an eye. He was pulling q
tack out OF II harness and the pinchers
slipped OIL, and the tack flew, tn,
point piercing through two coating,
OF his eye. The injury is proving
exceedingly painful, and the at,
tending physician entertains grave
fears that Mr.. Scoville will be de,
prived OF sight in that eye.
The infant son of Mr.. and Mrs
j. {. Whitfield was taken danger,
ously i'll with cholera infantun
Sunday evening. Medical skill
could afford no relief, and the little
sufferer died at 7:3o Tuesday night
aged six months and eight days
The funeral was held at the res,
'den:e at 3 o'clock yesterday after,
noon, and the remains inferred in
Maple Grove cemetery.
Mrs. J. G. Davis received notice
last week OF the death of her father,
II. f. Graham, at Miles, Jackson
county. He was 50 years of age,
and had been in feeble health for
several months, during which time
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis have visited
him twice. MIR. Graham had paid
several visits to his children here,
during which he made many friends
in the community, all of whom will
deeply regret the sad event.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Bottcnfeld
departed last Friday morning. The
following notice Of their pleasant
reception in Des Moines, we clip
from the Register Of Saturday
morning; Prof. Bottenfeld gave a
reception and supper last evening to
numerous young folks in honor OF
his brother Joseph, who just re-
turned from Audubon with a bride.
The young couple were the recip-
tents of many hearty congratulations
from their friends. They go to
housekeeping at once in University
Place.
The c., M. & st. =. base ball
club, Of Earling, was defeated by
the Logan club at the latter place
last Saturday, the score standing IS
to s. The Logans were assisted by
the catcher and pitcher Of the Hast
ings club. There is no doubt but
that the Hastings club can, if they
choose, win both games between
them and the Earrings to be played
at Harlan today and tomorrow. But
the reputation well earned by the
Earrings to buy games that they
cannot win greatly detracts from
the interest. There would have
been large attendance Of Audubon
sports could they have had any as
surance that the games would be
played upon the merits Of the clubs.
Complaint is made against the
city authorities for enforcing the Or
dinance requiring itinerant merchants
to pay license for the privilege Of
plying their trade within the incor.
poration limits. The cases bringing
the matter to immediate notice oc.
Cured last week when a small fee
was demanded Of apple peddlers.
They refused to pay the amount and
drove out of town. One OF them
was a resident Of the county, two
were from Madison and two from
Page county. The ordinance was
passed in 1881 for the very obvious
purpose Of protecting home mer-
chants who handle that class of
goods. The public demand that the
merchants keep fruit in its season,
and as it is perishable, money so in
vested is at great risk, but yet the
home merchant sells fruits as cheap
or cheaper in general than the trav-
cling salesman. The home dealer
must provide a mode of delivery,
and must bear the expense Of loss if
the article is over ripe or the mar
ket over-stocked. Unless the home
can have the protection
which this ordinance affords, the
risk becomes still greater, and he
has no warrant to provide a stock.
Thus the question becomes not only
of interest to the grocer, but the
Of their patrons is in
volved as well. If the merchants
should retire from the fruit business,
