Supt. Hornberger and II. Z. AL
bert are organizing a lodge of the
Ancient Order of the Knights OF
The Mystic Chain, and have fair
promise of success. 1t will be the
first lodge of the order in the state,
and will reflect additional honors
ipon our town as a home for secret
societies. Audubon already has
more secret society organizations
han any town of its size in the
state, and it is an unmistakablc evil
lence OF the enterprising spirit in
our business men that all are well
sustained and in a flourishing condi.
ion. Much OF the credit for their
enduring prosperity is due to II. =.
Albert, who is an interchangeable
worker in their interests.
II. w. Hanna has received infor-
nation from II. S. Wattlcs that he

zed.
Some lad, or perhaps man, with
cut proper fear of the law in his
heart, took sled from in front of
A. II. Roberts & Co.'S. store last
Saturday. 1t would seem that the
recent fate of young pilferers would
have put temporary dampener upon
petit larceny in this place, but it
Ices not appear that it has had any
,ppreciable effect. The sled was
aiken from the immediate front of
he store, in daylight, while people
were passing. Whoever may be
lie thief he certainly has the skill
md efrrontery of an adept. The
enient conduct Of the laws repre-
toward the youthful Of
lenders recently on trial may prove
more OF an encouragement than the
example warning, to others.
