The Jefferson SOurtRir referring TO
the frequent substitution of the word
erce1ot for .ccept reminds us Of the di-
lemma in which one of our Young men
was recently placed by the error. The
gentleman had inditcd Il note to a
young lady Of short acquaintance, ask,
ing the pleasure Of her company to Il
certain entertainment, and was not a
little myStitied to receive msSive in
reply wherein the young lady said she
gladly e.rr"pt"d the invitation. Imag-
inc the mental wrestling of our friend
with that ambiguous note whether she
had INDUCED in satirical humor and
gladly excepted his invitation, or
if i'll well meaning inadyertence his
company WAS accepted, Were questions
with which the young man tHsslel from
noon till night fall until utter distrac-
ton seemed to threaten him. \ mis-
construction of the note was fatal, for
either horn of the dilemma. if mis-
take, would reflect upon the intelligence
of his lady friend. lie unfolded his
trouble to an intimate friend who was
unable to make the desired discovery
At late hour he resolved upon heroic
treatment Of the case, went to fulfil the
engagement, and was received with a
cordially that set all doubt at rest and
proved a good reward to brave heart

\ 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 a 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 large city. lie observed
the amount of trade going on in the
stores. the number Of teams from the
country. and In reality the situation
was such as to warrant the gentleman's
enthusiastic admiration. And yet, we
san say in all candor, that the crowd
and business of that day was not in ex-
cess OF the average saturday.

The present Legislature can win its
greatest laurels by the practice Of a
wholesome economy in the way of APP
Wopriations. The committee of each
house is awake to this fact, and will
make discretionate recommendations
The people will commend judicio,,s 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.

Ice BOUND.-When driving to town
last Monday morning, Mr.. John Oliver
found the Botna outside its banks and
running over the road east of the Wilde
bridge in Willow Lane, and the water
covered with seeming thin crust Of
ice. He was driving his team of sorrel
colts, but concluded to venture in and
if possible make the bridge. No trouble
was experienced until he came to where
the water was breast deep to the horses
and they were unable to break the ice
with their feet, when they refused to go
farther. They remained in this place
for nearly three quarters of an hour,
during which time Mr.. Jack OBrien
came from the opposite direction on
horse back, and with long pole broke
the crust to where Mr.. Oliver and his
team were ice-bound. The team was
thoroughly chilled, but were driven
rapidly to this place, where they were
well cared for.

The business men are considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of petitioning for the re-
versal of trains on the Rock Island
branch, that is running from Atlantic
in the morning. The uppermost objec-
ton is that it would remove several es-
tcemed families from our midst. As a
business venture it would prove adyant-
ageous, as it would bring trade naturally
tributary to Audubon that now goes to
Atlantic. Farmers in the south part Of
the county cannot trade here an hour
unless they remain over night. The
faces of many who would gladly trade
here regularly are seldom seen for this
very obvious reason. They transact
business with county officials by mail
and trade where railroad accommoda-
tons take them. The preponderancc
of business advantage appears to be In
favor Of the change. BY such reversal
the mail S"Tyicc would be greatly i'm
proved, as the Chicago mail and Des
Moinc8 papers could be brought here at
about 9 OF $3.50 o'clock in the morning
Trainmaster Lawrence, Of Atlantic, is
agreeable to the change, and if really
desired, it can be effected with little
trouble.

We cannot too strongly urge upon our
readers the necessity of subscribing for
family weekly newspaper of the first
class-such, for instance, as The hide
penden,. of New York. We are obliged
to select one publication for habitual
and careful reading to the exclusion OF
all others, we should choose unhesitat-
ingly The Independent. 1t is a newspa-
per, magazine and review, all in one. 1t
is religious, a literary, an educational,
story, an art, scientific, an agricultur-
al, a financial, and political paper COM
bined. 1t has 50 folio pages and q de-
partments. No matter what persons
religion, politics or profession may be,
no matter what the age, sex, employ
ment or condition may be, The Iadepend-
ent will prove help, an instructor, an
educator. Our readers can do no less
than to send postal for free specimen
copy, or for thirty cents the paper will
be sent a month, enabling one to judge
of its merits more critically. Its yearly
subscription is $500, or two years for
$500. Address, The Independent, 25l

FUN AT LAKE CRYSTAL.

The barbecue at Lake Crystal We'd
nesday passed off successfully. Man
kato was not as well represented as it
would have been had there not been an
unfortunate misunderstanding in regard
to the train. 1t was given out by Lake
Crystal parties that an afternoon train,
leaving about $50, would take all those
who wanted to go. 1t turned out, how
ever, that no passenger train went out
after the 1:25 accommodation, and
those who had determined to go to
Lake CRYSTAL were disappointed. A few
went down in teams, however. The OK
was roasted according to program and
vas served up In the square under a lib
erty pole. The parade in the evening
was very creditable. The town was
"chuck full' of enthusiasm and every
thing passed off without hitch, with
the exception of the speaking. The
hall where the speaking was to have
occurred had previously been engaged
for another purpose and as it was too
cold to speak in the open air this part
of the program had to be reluctantly
given up. The demonstration drew
hundreds of people from the surround
ing country and towns and the streets
were packed. About nine o'clock
James +. Swenson, of the Central
House, whose marriage occurred in the
forenoon, was serenaded by the band
and great concourse of citizens. The
band occupied an exalted position on a
hay rack drawn by a traction engine, and
discoursed sweet strains. The genial
proprietor of the Central House rolled
out several barrels of apples for his
friends, who applauded his generosity
TO the echo and wished him and his
bride unlimited happiness. The even
ing was one that will long be remem.
bered by the denizens of Lake Crystal.

REPORT OF THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
The last term of the industrial school
opened Saturday Sept. >, 1887, with the
following officers in charge:
Supt.-Miss Pierson.
Asst Supt.-Mr-. Crosby.
Treasurer-Mrs. +. L. Barr.
Secretary-Mrs. j. III. Ray.
Directresses-Mrs. Crosby, Mrs. Barr,
Miss Pierson.
On this first afternoon, rainy one,
only five pupils were present, but the
attendance increased from week TO week
until seventy-two were enrolled, many
of whom were quite regular in attend
ance during the entire term of three
months. The largest number present al
any session was forty, Dec. II. Many OF
the children belonging to the school
came more than a mile, and although
many Saturdays were very stormy, these
little girls were seldom absent, even
when teachers thought ii lmprudent &c
venture out. In the course of the term
l03 garments were cut and given out, the
majority of which were finished in the
school. Minnie Roway made five gar
ments, but in many cases where the pu'
pills entered late in the winter, the first
garments were not finished. AT the be-
So. 05, part of this having been lef
from the appropriation of the year be
fore. In Nov. 5000 more was furnished
by the relief society, making 5000. o.
this sum S2l.37 was expended for work
ing materials, $1,000 for fuel and rent
81 90 for care of room, $50 for drayage
and $3.0S for confectionery distributed
on the closing day. There is still in the
treasury a balance of $3.50. In mos
respects the winters work was very en-
couraging, but the Supt. was often Sc
verely tried by the absence and tardi
ness of teachers. Could those who en-
gage in this work be made to feel the
necessity for regular attendance fal
greater good might be accomplished
and it is hoped that those who have the
school in charge in the future will re-
ceive generous assistance from all ladies
who can and will devote one afternoon
each week to this very useful work.
Mrs. J. III. RAY. Sec'y.
