early life by his friends hereabouts. lie
has always been a faithful devotee of
the art preservatiyc and was at one
time foreman in the composing rooms
of the Cincinnati StUT. Previous to
his removal here he has suffered ten
consecutive years from paralysis, when
his mind was likewise effected and that
portion of his life was. even to himself,
a blank. lie located with his third wife
in Extra i'll 1915, and worked on the
Sentinel. While there the family was

children preceded him to tho other
world. BY frugality and industry he
saved a sufficient sum to purchase ma
terIal aud launch the Gray Eogle, which
material was afterwards moved to Man
ming, where the Nc,rS was printed.
The Office was diSadvantageously dis
posed Of III 1855, and Mr.. Stanclilf came
to Audubon and accepted position in
the AdcOcdte Office, which position he
faithfully filed until Frustrated for the
third time ny paralysis III November of
last year. The long and tedious illness
has developed wonderful vitality and
endurance. Much of the time the phys.

Personally the deceased was eccentri"

Behind a bluff social exterior those
who knew him best found kind heart

Republican Love Feast.

Chairman Hanna has arranged a rare
treat for all who attend the republican
convention at Audubon on Tuesday,
August It'll. The eloquent Irish-Amer-
lean orator, John Brennan, OF Sioux
City, has, in response to very urgent
request, consented to address the repub-
Leans of Audubon at court house on
that date Mr.. Brennan is known
throughout the land as one of the most
eloquent, witty and altogether interest
ing speakers on the stump. lie is an
attorney Of great ability and tii.p-
Ough student of political affairs 50 that
our readers may without fear of diSap-
pOintment expect to hear one of the
best speeches ever delivered in Audit
bon. 1t will indeed be a rare treat, and
our 0itizerR may well congratulate
themselves, for the gentienan's rtafes
SiOnal business is so urgent that he sell
dom finds it possible to comply with re-
quests from political organizations, and
in this instance has only consented after
very uFgeht aspeais. T!lu oAmtu,tlan
for nominating county officers and Sc
Letting delegates to the various CONVEX,
tons will be held at p. m, and after
consulting with several of the township
chalrmen and thhsb from distant ror-
tiOns of the county, Mr. Hanna has
deemed it most convenient TO all con-
cerned to hold the meeting which MIR.
Brennan will address ats. p. m. This will
allow those who COME by train to attend
with the least possible loss of time and
neighboring farmers can attend by
leaving home after the days work has
been performed. We can assure all
that Mr.. Drennan's address will be
worth coming miles to hear and all

Mr.. Andrews for Judge.

The republicans of Audubon county
have expressed thcir preference for II.
I. Andrews, Esq, Of this city, as can
,lidate for the Office of district jndge.
The support Of NJ. Andrews by his
neighb0rS and business associates is
united and hearty, and is backed by an
earnest hope that the convention will
be pleased to nominate one whom we
believe so worthy. Mr.. Andrews has
been resident Of Audubon county for
thirty years and has helped make its
history, from Which fact il will ba an,
derstoOd that the republicans have
made no hasty choice IN selecting a
citizen to be recommended to tbs pco,
pie of the district. The county has cx-
pressed its faith in his integrity and
ability by electing him to responsible
positions Of honor and trust, that of
the county judgeShip, under the old
system, having been more nearly in
harmony with the position to which he
now aspireS. Since then he has been q
continuouspractitionerin all the courts.
giving close application TO bis profes.
sion, never renting i'm his studies. and
always practicing in a straightforward
manner, which has won for him the
respect of his fellow citizens as well as
the members Of the bar, both at home
and throughout the district and state,
lie is thus well learned in his profession
ripe in years and experience, yet of
sturdy manhood, with vigorous mind
and withal man who would fll the
office with credit to himself and the
complete satisfaction of practitioners
and clients. The nomination of Mr.,
Andrews is urged upon the ground of
his professional and personal fitness for
the position, ana in the belief that our
county is entitled to recognition. Others
have been favored, but Audubon never.
Wepresent a candidate of unquestioned.
demonstrated ability, and respectfully
ask that the choice of this county be
fayorably considered by the judicial
convention.

Audubon County Coal.


There has ever been among those best
acquainted with the geology Of Audu-
bon county an abiding faith that Mother
Earth had treasured beneath us val
liable vein of coal Experts have borne
the same testimony and frequent finds
have been of a nature to substantiate
that belief. Our enterprising neighbors
on the south have been the first to delve
to depth which has resulted in finding
a quality of the black diamonds that
at this time seems to settle all doubts
that may yet exist. The operators of
the Extra creamery have been put to
the greatest eXtremities to secure an
adequate supply of water for necessary
purposes; they have kept man and
team busy daily in hauling water from
various sources and the drain has been
such as to keep every well in the town
nearly dry. Disguised with the expen-
sive and aggravating mode of doing
business they concluded to drill to the
greatest depth possible or secure water,
and commenced boring under the roof
of the creamery building. Operations
were commenced some time ago, and
the results after reaching depth of 60
feet were such rs to cause them to watch
for Developments with great degree
of anxiety. The succeeding strata has
been of nature to arouse the interest
of those who have had experience in
coal fields, and encourage interested
parties to push the enterprise. Below
90 feet came hard pan for nearly or
quite 100 feet, underlaid by about feet
of sand stone below which were found
10 feet of soap stone, followed by soft
clay between 3 and feet in thickness,
then came 10 feet of pure slato, which
WAS penetrated with "a great deal of
difficulty, beneath which the anger
bored through from 36 to 40 inches of
what has every appearance of being Il
good quality Of soft coal. 1t is impos-
sibIe to bring it to the surface by the
means now employed in humps of any
considerable size, but that which has
been taken out has been subjected to
the test and appears to be of as good
quality as is found in Iowa. Erwin
Watson, cashier of the Bank of Extra,
is interested III the enterprise and the
results thus far obtained are such as to
encourage the gentleman to further ef-
fort. THEY ara now below this three
foot vein, where they found shallow
strata of red sand clay, and when they
ceased work last evening the anger was
again in slate,
The people OF the county will watch
with intense interest this project which
our entcrprising neighbors are prosecut-
ing, for if it shall prove as all circum-
stances now indicate and a. tho sub,
stance appears that it is a genuine vein
and not pocket of coal, its value to
the whole people will be inestimable.
1t has been asserted that coal may be
found all along the 'Botna and the sue
cess of the enterprise, which now seems
SO near at hand, will result In an inves-
tigation all along the line. We may
well and earnestly wish the gentlemen
the fullest mede of success, and hope
that their greatest expectations may be
fulfilled.

DEMOCRATS who incline toward the
policy of protection very often assert
that the democratic party is not an adj.
vocate of free trade, and interpret the
party policy to be for tariff reform,
which may be made to appear innocent
and is at best equivocal The best in
depreciation can be placed on the free
trade plank in the platform by those
who drafted it. a They know of what
material it was made and how con-
structed. One Of the brightest lights
in the party is Mr.. Henry Waiter
son, who is nearer the heart of the
administration on the free trade policy
than any other of the faithful. Mr..
Watterson helped make the platform,
and says that it is out and out for free
trade, unequivocal, and he insinuates
that the intellectual powers of those
who claim that it has the vestige of
any other principle has been badly
dwarfed. The country will do well to
accept the idea of Mr.. WattersOn, who
helped make the platform and who is
close to the administration rather than
the unauthorized statements of those
who interpret it to meet the exigencies
which it has created.
