Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1888-09-13

Mr.. and Mrs. j. III. Wills and daught.
ers Rachel and Martha arrived home
last Friday from their overland trip to
Colorado. They have been absent
about seven weeks and travelled nearly
twelve hundred miles. They went di-
rect to Julesburg but were unable to
go to the mountains on account of the
i'll effect of the climate upon the health
of the young ladies, for whose benefit
the tedious journey was undertaken.
The effect was directly opposite from
that anticipated, rs the elder of the
young ladies perceptibly failed during
the days they remained there; hence
the immediate return, and its wisdom
has been demonstrated by the increased
strength of the lady since arriving in
Iowa. III has indeed been u tedious
journey, and that 1t has not been for
the best elicits the sympathy of tie
many friends of the family.
Carroll county is arranging to hold q
county fair at Carroll the first of DC.
to6er. With good weather il will draw
an immense crowd. We believe great
many from Audubon will improve the
opportunity to visit that young city.
Among special premiums offered is a
white horse for the most handsome red.
headed girl. We hope this contest will
be open to the world, so that Audubon
can bring the white horse home.
The case of VIM. Cochran vs.. Chas.
Breckenridge, wherein defendant dis.
puted tho will of Robt. Cochran, de.
ceased, and claimed certain lands in
Cameron township, has just been de,
cided by the supreme court sustaining
the decree of the court below that the
will was sound and that the title of
plaintiff is valid. II. +. Andrews, Esq,
was counsel for the Cochrans. Mr. An
drew's practice before the supreme
court has been very successful.
The Weber comedy company has
favored our town with u series of enter.
tainments, and those who have attend
cd speak well of their performances
Mr., lIuse n. Morgan, the leading man
Of the company, has good ability and
ranks among the best actors who have
visited Audubon. They have been
badly hampcred for hall accommoda.
tons, but have overcome obstacles,
The band is first rate, and their parades
were watched with exceeding interest by
large crowds.
The Interstate Herdld comes to us
as the rcmodeled Council Bluffs Heraid
announcing u change of policy from
that of prohibition to high license.
The change Is doubtless prompted by
the observance of the failure to enforce
the law In Council Bluffs, where fla.
grant violations are of daily occurrence
and the prosecution Is weak. II can
not be maintained that the law Is u fail
ure over the state. Only where viola
tons IRE winked at by the authorities
can the traffic exist. The Herdid has
taken narrow view.
The republicans of Greeley township
deserve credit for first opening the
campaign. They were first addressed
by Prof. Willcutt, and his utterances
must have been charged with inspira-
ton and enthusiasm, for since that
time they have been prosecuting an of.
fective campaign, holding meetings In
school houses and attending rallies In
force. Greeley contains some OF the
best workers In the county, and Prof.
Willcutt, who argues from a business
standpoint, has impressed upon them
the duty of the hour.
Col. J. ID. Thompson, of CAL, arrived
Tuesday evening on n short visit to his
sister, Mrs. Il. 5. Foster. lie Is return
ing to his home from business trip to
Chicago and resumes his journey this
afternoon. The Colonel moved from
Iowa thirteen years ago, prior to which
he was active In politics, occupied po-
sition on the district bench and was nc
companied by Col. W.. Hepburn In
the capacity of prosecutor. Col. Th0mp-
son Is of the democratic faith, and
humoring his prejudices, expresses the
opinion that his state will give q
majority Of her votes for Cleveland.
