Why Audubon is the Best Town.

Rhinesmith, of the Shelby County
Republican, has read TnE REPUBLICAN
until he comedies what he terms an ex
travagant claim that Audubon is the
best town of her size in the state of
Iowa. lie is little mystified to know
why this Is so. 1t is so because Audi.
bon has an exceedingly large and rich
territory tributary; because no line of
business is over done; because every
citizen believes 1t to be the best town,
and in pride states so on every occasion
offered; because there is not grumbler
in tho town or county; because there Is
sharp competition in all lines of bust
ness; because in public enterprises in.
dividual interests are forgotten and all
work together for the good of the
best town; because they work harmon.
iously; because they work with will
born of faith in good results; because
we have two good lines of railroad that
take an interest in the town; because
we have good schools and churches; be-
cause the business Is in the hands of
men who work on business principles,
and back their professions with their
capital. These are few of the reasons
why Audubon is the best town of her
size in the state; why she has so many
and such valuable public improvements,
and why she this year enjoys growth
unprecedented in her history n growth
that is laying broader and deeper the
foundations of her prosperity.
We extend cordial invitation to
Brother Rhinesmith, and all others of
the craft, to come over and see us and
draw In II long, deep draught of the en-
thusiasm that Audubon people breathe
year In and year out. The air of our
community while free is exhilarating
and healthful.

Corn meal at TalbOtt's.

The conviction of Billings, the Way
erly murderer, will be approved by the
public, while the life sentence Is not in
severity in excess of the degree of his
crime. Evidently he was bad man
who maintained his position in the
community by fair or foul means, and
by his example had an influence as
blighting as its breadth. While on trial
his defense was more damnable than
his Decd it was an effort TO bosmirch
the name of her whom he was sworn TO
protect and defend. His sentence is
just, and we hope that succeeding gov
errors may never grant M appeal for
clemency.

A new barrel of oatine ut TalLott's

This county has been refreshed by q
rain that has fallen almost without in
termision since last Thursday night.
How badly this was needed only those
who have dclvcd In the earth know,
for above tho depth of two feet the
ground appeared damp, but at that dis.
lance below the surface, it was rs one
gentleman remarked, as dry as ashes.
The rain has fallen gently and soaked
down to where 1t is 80 badly needed.
Some anxiety has been felt because Of
the continued drought, but now far,
mers will work with good cheer and the
encouragement found in the promise
of another gigantic crop. Pastures and
lawns are already Frightening under
its influence, and while the work of
farmers and builders IL retarded for n
few days, all are thankful for tho cause
and from the depth Of grateful hearts
exclaim blessed rain!"

Ammonia in Bgking Powders.

From, The Soisnt,fo american.
Among the recent discoveries In
science and chemistry, none ia more
important than the uses to which COM
mon ammonia can be properly pat as a
leayening agent, and which indicate
that this familiar salt Ia hereafter to
perform an active part in the prepare
ton Of our daily food.
The carbonate Of ammonia Is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place q
small portion of 1t upon a Knife and
hold over a flame, and It will almost
Immediately be entirely developed into
gas and pass off into the air. The gas
thus formed Is simple composition OF
nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue Is
left from the ammonia. This gives 1t
Its superiority as leavening power
over soda and cream Of tartar used
alone, and has induced its use as n sup
plement to these article. A small
quantity of ammonia in tho dough is
effective in producing bread that will
be lighter sweeter and more wholesome
than that risen by any other leavening
agent When it Is acted upon by the
heat Of baking, the leavening gas that
raises the dough is liberated. In this
act 1t uses itself up, as 1t were; the am
monia is entirely diffused, leaving no
trace or residuum whatever, The light,
fluffy, haky appearance, SO desirable In
biscuits, etc, and so sought after by
professional cooks, said to be impaired
to them only nv the use of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder man
ufacturers producing the finest goods
have been quick to avail themselves of
this useful discovery. and the hand
soonest and bread and cake are now
largely risen by the aid of ammonia
combined, of course, with other leaven-
ing material.
Ammonia Is one of the best known
products of The laboratory. If, as seems
to be Justly claimed for it, the applica
ton of its properties to the purposes of
cooking, results in giving us lighter and
more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake,
it will prove a boon to dyspeptic hui,
mainly; and will speedily force itself
into general use In the new field to
which science has assigned it.
