Normal Notes,

That portion of the county's pop
ulation which is entrusted with the
sacred responsibility of inclining in.
tellectually and morally the human
twig, is assembled in the graded
school building in this city. They
are all there, from the late girl grad.
uate of sixteen, who at will sways
her little audience by the sweetness
of her smile, to the veteran in the
cause, who rules with dignity and q
rod of iron. They are exchanging
ideas and studiously acqu ring the
tact to apply new methods and per.
fecting the old. 1t is an intelligent
assemblagc. Its equal in that par,
ticular could not be gathered from
among the followers of any other
avocation in the county. All are
earnestly at work, and evidence a
commendable desire to improve the
opportunities afforded by the super.
ntendent and his able corps OF assis,
tants to make the session a profitable
one. Superintendent Willcutt had
all arrangements complete, so that
the work commenced without delay
or friction. The ram Monday pre-.
vented many from coming, since
which time the extreme heat has
probably caused them to postpone
attendance until next week. 1t is
expected that the attendance will
reach 1873. Following is the enroll

The Social Glass Tonight.

BY request the beautiful drama,
the Social Glass will be presented
for the second time at Court House
Opera Hall tonight, All who wit
messed the play last Thursday even
ing unanimously pronounced it the
best that has ever been produced in
Audubon by home talent, and has
seldom if ever been cqualled by
visiting troupcs, All the actors
eyinccd special adaptobility in the
parts assigned them, and each had
his or her paat well committed, so
that there was no hcsitancy from
the first time the curtain was raised
Until it fell on the happy conclusion
OF the play. The managers have
taken evident pains in the arrange
ment Of the stage furnishings and
effects. Perhaps the most difficult
roles are sustained by James Russell
and ]. y. Whcatley, but they have
a good conception Of the characters
and acquit themselves in very
creditable manner. Miss Eva Free
man, as Eva Thornley,, sustains her
self admirably through the trying
situations in which she appears.
Miss Mabel Walker, as the much
abused wife of saloon keeper Farley,
carries her part with a falthlulness
that would be creditable to one
long experienced in the profession.
Miss Clara Burdick, as the petite
Ne;'ic Nettleby, creates discontinue
to the ..eoplc on the stage,
except Bob Brlti'e but is very sue
cessiul in her prolcsse' desire to
SNAKE folks happy" so far - the
audience is concerned. Mr.. Colson,
as the irresistible Bob Brittle, is
equal to his reputation in humorous
characters. James Hollis, the de-
signing villain of the plot, is charac-
teriscd by w. II. O'Connell in
most pleasing manner. Ed Della
hoyde, as Harold Hadly, a temper
ancc worker, appears OPPORTUNITY
and by judicious solicitation turns his
imbibing friends in the right direc-
ton, and is mainly instrumental in
bringing the drama to its pleasing
denouement. In this he is assisted by
DR.. Leininger, as DR.. Slater.
The proceeds tonight go to the
purchase of street lamps. Attend
for your own pleasure and to assist
worthy cause. Admission IS and
IS cents. Reaervcd seats at O'Con-
nell Bros. jewelry store. Curtain
rises promptly at SIS. Music will
be furnished by Prof. Compton, the
celebrated pianist, of Chicago.

To Patrons Of the Late Audubon " Times. |"

With the issue of August 5th 1886,
the AHaHbon Times ceased to exist
so far rs the writer hereof is con-
cerned. Through the kind offer of
the publishers and proprictors of the
REPUBLICAN we take advantage of
their columns to announce the fact
TO the Times subscribers, who may
think strange that we did not make
this announcement in our own col
umns last week, but we assure them
that we had no thought OF suspending
at that time, and only came to such
conclusion Friday afternoon, August
9th. This conclusion was reached
after thorough and vigorous at
tempt at settling up with the adver-
Using patrons of the Times and find
ing that the columns OF the paper
had for some time been filed with
dead head advertisements to make a
show, which to us was represented
as alive and paying. This fact, and
the tact that we were otherwise
swindled in the purchase of what
was supposed to be the good will, (of
which the paper is void), and the
subscribers who had ordered their
paper stopped previous to our as
Stunning control, we deemed it mex
pedient to add to our already dearly
purchased experience, by getting
out another issue of the Times
merely to make the announcement OF
suspension. Those who have paid
in advance for the Times will look
to L. II. & w. S. Kimball for what
is due them,
Yours Respectfully,
G. w. BAEn, IN.

Tho Fair.

Greater efforts are being made to
make the coming exhibit by the ag.
ricultural society the most crcditabIc
of any ever held in its hist Dry. To
make it representative OF the pro.
ducts and industries olAudubon coun.
ty is the absorbing object. Pre-,
miums are offered upon everything
that can be raised or manufactured
IN the county, and strong and UNI
effort is being made to have all rep
resented. Besides the regular pre-
miums offered by the society the
merchants and business men OF
Audubon offer over scventy-fvc
special premiums. Everything in
the line of products OF the soil will
receive an award Tor an exhibit.
Special premiums Of $25 for the best
exhibit of grain. There are pre-.
NUNS for the best baby, and for the
most babies. Five dollars in gold to
the woman accompanied by the
greatest number of her own children
on the ground, on Thursday, the
third day. On fancy work, flowers,
etc, the premiums are full, and it is
hoped that the people will take
special interest in this department
and make Floral Hall more attrac.
tive and replete with handlwork and
works Of art than ever before. In
the departments of cattle and horses
it has been arranged to award di.
plomas to thorough-breds, and the
cash premiums to graded stock. A.
heretofore cash premiums have been
taken by the thoroughbreds, and
there was little or no encouragement
for proprietors to exhibit graded
stock. This unpleasantness has been
obviated, as noted, and will insure
full exhibits in these departments.
Young stock is especially favored
by premiums. Let every inhabi,
tant of the county prepare to add
their individual mite to the exhibits
at the fair and thus asurc the largest
and most successful exhibition evei
held in the history OF the society
The officers are working diligently
but without the hearty cooperation
of the people their efforts will be il
vain. Give the best evidence Of
your appreciation of their efforts by
assisting them to the extent of your
ability. Any worthy product of the
county which is not down on the
premium list will be rewarded il
proper exhibit and application is
made. Bring the choicest and best
Of your products, and when the fair
is over, and shall have been pro-
nounced grand success, you will
congratulate yourself upon having
contributed to the worthy enterprise.
The superintendent of amusements
is arranging for entertainment foi
each day. Bands and fire companies
will be present and enliven the pro-
ceedings. For the national craze
base ball, $3.50 have been Offered
which will secure the attendance Of
four OF the best clubs. The publica.
ton of the premium list has been de-
layed by unavoidable circumstances
but it is rapidly nearing completion
and will soon be distributed. Re.
member the dates Of the far, Sept

One Of the prominent small boys
OF the town sneaked into Howald's
barn one day last week and stole a
revolver belonging to George Clark.
He had slipped the revolver into an
old overcoat pocket, while he went
to dinner, and returning noticed that
it was missing. Learning Of its
probable whereabouts he selected a
youthful detective about the oge OF
the thief, to ferret out the facts,
The detective was four days work
ing up the case, but at the end OF
that time he was enabled to place
his hand on the lad and say ssthou
art the kid" No steps were taken
toward prosecution, but it was hoped
that the lad would improve by the
lesson administered in vigorou:

When Luke Knapp was driving
to town Saturday morning his team
became frightened at the morning
train near Doak's slaughter yard,
and turning abruptly, upset the
wagon, and ran. Mr.. Knapp, and
two ladies and four children accom-
panying HIM, were thrown from the
wagon, but no one was injured.
The team was seen from the train
at Zion's crossing and Conductor
Dennis kindly allowed Deputy
Sheriff Crane to get off the train.
He had little trouble in catching the
team, when he drove them toward
the scene OF the accident, but met Mr..
Knapp, in search of them on the
way. Mr.. Knapp saw MIR. Crane
safe at his home in Extra before
leaving him.

The farmers and all out door
workers have been richly favored
by the weather clerk this season.
The rainy days have been so few
that they could be very profitably EN-
ployed in repairing and sharpening
machinery, and such other work as
could be done indoors. They have
improved the opportunities SO well
that it has been several months since
our merchants have experienced.
what they term big days trade.
After the heavy. rains of Saturday
AMI Sunday, however, great many
farmers came to town trading, and
their vehicles lined either side OF
Broadway for its entire length.
They feel happy over the pros
poets for crops, the merchants were
glad to see business resumed, and a
grand good time was enjoyed.

Is there danger in your manner of life ?"

Yes, and yet few are killed. The deck
hand may get his leg caught in coil of the
hawser as the line is drawing taut. There
is one man walking about South street on
one leg who lost the other that way. I saw
hawser tauten up once and catch man
by the nape of the neck, and throw him,
whirling like stick, twenty feet away into
the water. Then, when towing ship to

You may have noticed that tugs usually tow
the barges with long line out. You see,
there is a bar on every barge. The longer
the barge is away from the town the more

Nerve strotching.

Many people think of the nerves as some
thing intangible, somewhat as they think Of
nervous diseases, as mainly imaginary, and
have little sympathy with the sufferer. But
the latter are terribly real and the former
are quite as substantial as the blood vessels,
and like them the larger ones are surround.
ed by tough elastic walls.
Their Office Ia twofold TO communicate
sensation from the circumference 10 the
centre and from the centre TO the circum-
ference.
No part of the system is 80 frequently
and variously diseased, but the disease may
be Of such q character ns not to show at all
TO the eye; or the acutest pain may mean
only that the nerve 10 pressed on and irri-
lated by some hidden cause, Oh when the

In such cases, as the cause Ii permanent
no medicine can effect q cure.
Years ago the plan was adopted Of sever.
ing the painful nerve, but as the nerve soon
grows together again the relief Is but tenn
porary. Then the plnn was improved upon
by cutting out considerable portion of the
nerve. A more durable relief was obtained,
but we have the impression that 1t tended
to the disintegration of the nerve. Finally
1t was found that the nerve could be rem
dered insensible by forcible stretching.
The sciatic nerve is the largest in the
body. II issues from the network OF nerves
near the end of the spinal cord and Is dis.
tributed to the muscles Of the thigh. Ths

hand and drawn strongly, first downward
and then upward, with sufficient force 10 raise
