Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1888-08-16

A company of ten boys, over Ave and
under eight years, held picnic In the
suburbs yesterday, each lad taking a
boiled egg and boiled potato for 70.
freshments. And what bliss was there,
my countrymen!
Il. j. Freeman was confined to his
home by illness for several days the
first of the week, and ut this writing Is
not able to be about lie has worked
indefatigably, in all kinds Of weather,
and his friends fear protracted illness.
The institute will close tomorrow
after very profitable and interesting
session. Since the close of the first week
the weather has been favorable to the
work, and both instructors and pupils
have applied themselves with admirable
zeal.
Rev. ]. A. Nash, Of Des Moines, and
father Of our fellow citizen, the attorney,
has been nominated for congress by
prohibitionists Of the seventh district.
He declined the honor, but the con.
vention adjourned without making an.
other nomination.
A son of JOS. Byerly fell from his
perch on see.saw last Saturday and
broke his arm. The fracture was near
the elbow, and especially difficult to re-
duce, but DIR. Cloughly accomplished
the operation, and the lad has nearly
forgotten the circumstance.

A paper hanger from Des Moines Is
here finishing the new knights of
Pythias hall In the second story Of the
Nash block. lie will finish his labor
on Saturday, and the hall will probably
be In readiness for the regular meeting
Of the 9Th inst. The hall has been
finished especially for this order, and Is
admirably appointed.
The Crystal Springs camp meeting is
very largely attended and altogether u
great success, though it could scarcely
be otherwise under the management of
that energetic reverend gentleman,
c. w. Blodgett. They have been
somewhat bothered by wet weather,
but the enthusiasm Of the company
has driven away all the blues.
Remember the republican rally at
Gray next Saturday, Aug. 18th. The
local republicans are making every eff
fort to guarantee a good time. II Is
expected that John Y. Stone of Coun-
Gil Bluffs, will BIO present and address
the meeting, though this is not assured.
Under any circumstances a grand re.
publican love feast may be anticipated
and good speeches from local men.
The Manning Monitor has the SUI
preme gall to suggest that the mana
gers of the Audubon fair change the
dates of the exhibition of 'SS so as not
to conflict with those of the Manning
district fair. 1t appears that Manning
has changed her dates from those pub
lished in the state fair book. IL 1t was
for any reason other than to conflict
with the Audubon fair will the Monitor
please explain. We hope it isn't true,
but 1t looks that way.
The Ladies Cornet Band gave free
open air concert in the Park Tuesday
evening, which was listened to and
highly appreciated by a large audience.
The young ladies are making progress
toward proficiency, while there are
among them, as their instructor in
forms us, several who will become
soloists. We understand the organiza-
ton will secure more instruments soon.
This success Is well earned, and their
independent business methods are ad-
mired by the community.
The wife of Jos. Lechner, of Douglas
township, was suddenly called from
home and family yesterday morning.
She was taken III late in the night, suf-
fering from stomach cramps. At an
early morning hour messenger was
despatched for DIR. Cloughly, but ere he
arrived Mrs. Lechner has passed from
earth. Death resulted, 1t Is believed,
from heart desease, aggravated by the
stomach pains. She was about thirty
years of age, and leaves husband and
two children to mourn her untimely
demise.
The Uniform Rank, Knights Of
Pythias have perfected arrangements
whereby they will attend the Sioux City
corn palace, on September 26th and
9th. They will be accompanied by the
Ladies' Cornet Band, and the wives
and lady friends of the members, so
that most agreeable company will be
formed, and good time is assured.
The enterprising denizens of the Corn
Palace City of the world promise the best
and most liberal entertainment, and in
the manner in which Sioux City enter
tains, that means great deal.
The teachers in attendance upon the
institute made a handsome expression
of their regard for Superintendent viii
cult, yesterday in presenting him with
a gold watch, chain and charm, neatly
engraved. The presentation speech
was made by Prof. Frost, and was adj.
mirably suited to the occasion. 1t has
been a favorable feature of educational
