Death has again entered our Post.
The supreme Commander in his infinite
wisdom has seen lit to call hence our
beloved cOmrade Stephen Archer, leav-
ing us to mourn his loss.
We desire therefore to commemorate
his virtues, and tender to his aged
widow and grief stricken kinsman our
prOfuse sympathy in this their hour Of
trial and bereavement, feeling and real
izing with them that the husband and
father has gone forever, that there is an
aching void in the family circle which
cannot be supplied.
We feel as time passes that the COM
rades who stood by US under the "Old
Flag" in days long gone by, upon the
many sanguinary fields Of strife and
carnage III protection Of the nation s
honor, are rapidly, one by one, passing
silently from our midst to the reunion
with the dead comrades who have gone
before.
Sleep OH brave heart, yours was no
BILE cause. You were typical Ameri-
can; YOU fought for liberty, freedom
and honor. -four duty has been well
performed. we trust you are resting in
peace.
COmrade Archer was member of

Besieged by Friends.

The friends and neighbors of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Gray, of Douglas township,
met at their home last Friday evening
to show their love and respect for them
as neighbors and citizens. The COM
pany went laden with oysters, and bas-
kets of good things, and the manage
ment of the house was taken in hands
by the company, and soon shaped to
their own convenience. The table was
spread at II p. m, and jolly feast of
eatables and fun was enjoyed. After
supper Mr.. Slayton, with his violin and
Mrs. Ochiltree at the organ furnished
music appropriate to the occasion. The
social was also in honor of Mrs. w. G.
Bottentield and family, who have lived
long among us, and who occupy warm
places in the hearts of their neighbors.
Mrs. BottenIield and family will soon
move to Des Moines, where two sons
already reside and hold important posi-
tons. Mr.. Gray has sold his farm, and
will soon move to southwestern Ne
braska. We hope that both families
may find happiness and plenty in their
new homes. The company consisted
of fifty-four of the immediate friends
and neighbOrs of the families.

II WAS recently stated in these col
nmns, and the opinion has obtained.
that pharmacists permit from the
board OF supervisors to sell intoxicating
liquors must be renewed each year. An
old statute was to this effect, but a
later enactment, which is silent on that
point ana does not contain a clause re-
pealing the former act. has been accept
ed as a criterion by the supreme court
The case was brought from Dallas
county, and the fact that the druggist
had sold liquors after his permit had
been in existence one year was one of
the points in question, but the court,
Judge Beck dissenting, decided that the
permit was valid The law is at least
ambiguous and demonstrates the neces,
1ity Of revision.

Protection Against Swindlers.



The fellows who can get more read
ern weeklies than they get in their
home papers have been heard from
agaiu, They have asked the Legisla
ture to enact law against bohemian
oats" swindlers and sharpers Of that
character. As well might they ask our
representatives at Des MOines to inject
q quantity of antigullibility and native
GautiouSness into their pachydermous
Scalps.
Why don't those fellows read the
newspapers of their county and state
and learn what is going on around
them? Every swindle that has been
perpeirated in Iowa for the last ten
years is an old one and has been time
and again exposed and laid bare by the
newspapers of the state, which are con
stahtly Gautioning the people against
the wiley schemes OF transient vendors
and travelling agents. Notwithstand
ing all this, men continue to be taken
in and their hard earned dollars 60 to
swell the pocket books OF the slick
tongued rascal who laughs 1t th6lr guilt
bility and wonders why they are duped
so easily.
But 1t is not surprising that men can
lie found who fall ready prey to in
geni0us Swindlers. They read eastern
papers. filled with accounts Of smuggling
matches. interviews Of politicians, col
umnS of base ball news and narratives
of murdererS and robbers, fashion notes
and foreign correspondence. The con-
tents of those papers are of such gen
eral character that they apply to 10 To-
cality and the man who reads no other
has 10 knowledge of home affairs VIXEN
he gets through his weekly perusal. lie
knows nothing of the affairs of his own
state; nothing of the appropriation of
taxes, nothing of the business tran
sacted at his own county seat lie
is ignorant of the frauds perpetrated
throughout the country and falls an
easy victim on the first opportunity. He
is indeed a helpless creature. Law
can't protect him.
The man who reads state and
county paper is too well informed to be
duped by a sharper If our legislators
would pass law making it necessary
| for man to take and pay for one good
weekly, such as the Register, Leader,
Homestead, HaDkeye, Nonpareu, SiOur
! city Journal, etc, and home county
paper. before he could have recourse to
| lazy for protection, we predict that
| swindlers would find Iowa pastures
poor picking. IT is the old principle Of
educating the masses rather than legis-
latipg them into intelligent action that
leads us to this conclusion.

A gentleman who has travel.

\ gentleman who has travelled over
the states of the Union for twenty
years was in this city last Saturday for
the first time, and stated he had never
seen town the size Of Audubon that
had equal appearances of business. He
is man of keen discernment and men
toned characteristics of the people in
support of his estimate of the town. lie
found large crowd at the depot ell
bowed his way to the hotel, and on the
street was hustled and jostied about. he
stated, rs in a large city, He observed
the amount of trade going on in the
stores, the number Of teams from the
country. and IN reality tho situation
was such as 10 warrant the gentieman's
enthusiastic admiration. And yet, we
can say IN all candor, that the crowd
and business of that day was not in ex-
cess Of the average saturday.

A Remarkable Record.

Notwithstanding the adversely of the
clements, and in spite of the storms and
billiards which have been reported as
impeding travel in the great northwest,
we have from the Chicago s. North
Western railway the official statement
that its Overland Express" between
Chicago and Council Bluffs during the
so days of its operation, from December
Goth to Feb. 9Th, has suffered no serious
interruption to its movement. During
only four days of this time-in the
midst OF the great Jaauafy storm was
this train as much as one hour behind
its schedule. Eight times its arrival
was within one hour of schedule, and in
every other instance its arrivals have
been accurately on time.
1t is confidently asserted that no fast
train upon any other road on this CONT
nent can during the same period show
y better record.

POLITICAL circles In all parts of the

withdrawal of Mr.. Blaine as a candi-
date for the presidency, and fair mind
ell men universally consider it candid
and SO far as lies within the writer's

are a half dozen of the Maine states
mans intimate friends.

THE mugwumpS are in reality not to
be considered when presidential candi
date is concerned. They haYe single
and special purpose to serve, and
no human wisdom can surely foresee
the whim upon which their action can
be based. The body is composed of di-
verse species of political nondegcripts
whose race will never become extinct.
Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1888-02-23

The present legislature can win its
greatest laurels by the practice Of a
wholesome economy in the way of ap.
wopriations. The committee of each
house is awake to this fact, and will
make discretionate recommendations.
The people will commend judiciors ap,
preparations for the state institutions,
but will not sanction appropriations
equal to the acquisitions made. The
legislature is of such character that the
people may reasonably expect judicious
appropriations.
