Obituary,

DIED.--At the residence Of his brother
in this city, Monday, January 2lst,
ut slb, a. m, DR.. j. i. Cloughly, In
his 32d year.
The deceased was born in Lansdown,
Ontario, May 9th, 1857. When ten
years Of age his parents moved to Win
terset, Madison county, Iowa, where they
remained about Ave years, and during
which time they suffered the loss of the
mother and wife. They then returned
to the Canadian home, remaining year,
when they removed to Iowa, and located
In Mitchelville, Polk county, where the
subject Of this sketch entered upon the
study of medicine under DIR. Sims.
From reading under instructions he
went to the Medical College at Keokuk,
and graduated from that institution In
the spring Of 1878. lie then located
with his brother William In Audubon,
and embellished his professional educa-
ton by course at the Louisville Medi,
cal College In the winter of 1929 re-
ceiying therefrom rs well as from the
Medical College at New Orleans, di-
ploma. lie was married to Miss Min
ME Shoesmith, January LIST, 1887. The
fatal illness was apparent less than II
week before the result, and until twelve
hours before death 1t was not realized
by his friends that the end was near.
The doctor was the first of his pro-
fession to locate in Audubon, and the
building erected by the brothers and
occupied rs Il drug store was the second
structure in the new town. HIS prac-
tice, was from the frat s.auecessful ana
soon extended beyond the limits of the
county, In the early years OF his prae-
tice he improved available opportunities
to increase his knowledge of the healing
art, and in the school of study and pyac,
tice progressed rapidly, gaining alesery,
ed reputation as a skilled and devoted
physician, until the business grow to
such proportions as to severely tax his
physical resources and to almost exclu-
sively occupy the varied business hours
of that profession which exacts SO much
of its devotees. He was exceedingly
successful financially, being enterpris-
ing and pushing and In the ten years of
his residence here has acquired a yalu-
able estate. In character he was strong
decided and positive, generous and
yielding with his friends, but possessed
of an indomitable win which counseled
no compromise with opponents, and
welding dual influence, powerful i'm
which ever instance cast. In his prac-
tice. coming near the hearts and hearth
stones in the homes Of the county. he
has been the source of much comfort to
the afflicted, and many are the express
ions of sorrow. 1t is deeply regretted
that the life so full of possibilities for
good has SO suddenly terminated, and
the entire community is in sympathy
with the mourning relatives.
The funeral will be held tomorrow.

The Bank Of Extra Assigns.

Messrs. Louis Il. Born and Erwin
Watson, proprietors and operators o
the Bank of Extra, came to Audubon
last Saturday and made an assignment
to Frank L. Bradley, who executed ,
bond in the sum of S45, 600 for the faith
full performance of the duties. TIL,
institution had transacted business IN
regular order up to and including Fri
day the 18th, and rumors of the crash
had come to the ears Of but few From
the article of assignment we make the
following summary of assets:
| Bank building and lot in Extra, in.
Guiding safe, fixtures SlT0O: all accounts,
bills, notes and commercial paper 81, 800;
undivided two-thirds of the Extra
creamery, machinery and fixtures, ST.
200; Extra brick yard and machinery,
500; 320acre farm of Louis T.. Born
valued at 5000, subject to mortgage
OF So,Oo0) $1,000; personal property,
$1,000; l2o-acre farm of Erwin Watson
valued NJ S2iOO, subject to mortgage
of Saoo) $3.50; colt, $50; total assets
S22, no.
The total liabilities as shown by the
same instrument, are S2O,0G3.3. The
heaviest dcpositors were: w. B. Christ.
ian Sl1oO; Jos. Prohaska, $500; ,Iosephus
Lewis, $500; G. j, Watson SSl4,75; Ed.
son llerick, $500; III. II. Carmichael,
$500; j, B. Doak, Sl609.l4; ii. ii. Andre.
son Sl2dS5d; w, Il. llensley, S760.4i;
sam Hays, SiiS2i; j. j. llensley, $40
81; {, +. Myers Il Co, S620i3: A. &.
Smith, 1866: VIM. Walker Sa0l,s2:
John Connrardy, Siolo,65; j. j. Dim
mick, Sa6S.5i. The Audubon County
Bank had credit of $500, which for
some reason does not appear in the as
signment.
The deposit of county funds by
Treasurer Doak is, of course, secured by
bonds upon which such staunch names
appear as VIM. Walker, VIM. Il. and
j. j. llensley, A: G. Smith, W. G. Stur-
geon and b. Milliman.
While the assets, according to this
showing, exceed the liabilities, II may
be safely prophesied that the settlement
will not return more than 60 per cent
to depositors. The values of proper
ties turned In are correctly stated, but
in the emergency the articles listed as
assets are not negotiable, and are at
best only worth the rating when in ex-
perienced hands.
1t Is said to the credit of Messrs.
Watson Il Born that they have acted
in good faith and honor with their pat
rons. They have appropriated their in
dividual property, except exemptions,
to meet the firm Indebtedness, and the
elder member, Mr. Born, who is In nd.
ymced years, retains only small resi-.
dence property and personal property
to meet immediate necessities. Mr..
Watson has shown equal integrity in
the matter; his wife, however, has a
valuable farm property In her own
right and name. The unfortunate af-
fair is u heavy loss to all Extra, as the
institution was eminently identified
with the interests of the town, and the
individuals were always found en-.
couraging and promoting every public
enterprise

The Country Nswtpaper.

Edwin A. Start, New England Magazine.
 There is therefore place and an opportunity not to be despised for the country newspaper worker, and with this, as with every large opportunity, . serious obligation to careful, thorough, honest work. It Is not too much to say that there is no better field for an intelligent, we'll equipped man of large sympathies and vigorous personality than the editorial chair of country newspaper nor is there position which places upon a man greater duties to the community in which he lives. The editors of the great metropolitan newspapers rest on the heights of impersonal journalism, hingiDg their thunderbots with freedom born of almost entire personal responsibility; and while the thunderbolts are in great part shattered on the rocks below, the country editor walks with the multitude in the valley, gives the weight of his personality to the impersonal words Of his paper which come to the people like the warm hand clasp of a friend measures his words in accordance with the peculiarites of his constituents and influences the thought and feeling of hundreds where the thun- derbot of the unapproachable love strikes one. It was a successful country editor in thriving Mas sachusetts town who once sagely remarked that, If he were a candidate for office, and must take his choice between the combiued support of the metro politan dAiles and that of the country press he would choose the latter, and accept with equA- nimity the hostility Of his city brethren. Every country editor knows that he was right. The great dAilies, so called, received in the abstract as vendors of the worlds news. Their resources in this direction great and cannot in the nature of things be rivaled by those at the command coun- try papers of limited circulation. But the country paper comes closer to the hearts of the people at large, it Is more thoroughly read, and 1t has an influence the greater because it is Of the subtle unrealized, every day forces of life. It held rigidly to account for the honesty and fairness of it's utterances It cannot palm of upon its readers what are known in the slang of the newspaper fra ternity as flakes" 1t must be relisbe first of all Neither can 1t violate moral decency any marked extent and prosper, as can its neighbors in the great cities. In most communities, in New England at least its constituency is largely found in the churches, and will not tolerate vulgarity. The country newspaper stands 10 dwellers outside the
 large cities in the place of friend and regular home visitor, and it is essential above all things that 1t maintain the good character and good breeding that required of other friends if it would keep warm its welcome in the home circle

Novelis, oun,sr's Early vicis.i,udes.
once Week

Once week
 Archibald C. Gunter, the author of "Mr. Barnes Of New York" is & man of medium height, solidly built and imbued with a spirit of amiablity and good natr e. He has stood the most exacting test of 6 mans character that is known-success-and he has stood it we'll. Most people think he is American, and so he is by adoption, but he was born In England. His father left the old country when the novelist was one year old and went to California to seek his fortune.
 A year later Mrs. Gunter and the infant followed him. They were eight months going from Liver pool to San Francisco. They were obliged to spend seven weeks in little village on the shore Pan anna waiting for @ chance to get board of one of the overcrowded steamers. At that time everybod was rushing frantically to California for the gold had just been discovered there and when the Gun ters were finally crowded on the steamer two men were assigned to every berth. The complement of passengers allowed by law on the steamer was two hundred
 Considerably over 6 thousand men were taken on in this trip, and the Psnama fever broke out among them shortly after she started from port. Dozens of men died on the second day. The air stopped the contsgion, however Then there was & storm, and the passengers were obliged to take turns at the pumps to keep the ship aoAt until she got into San Francisco Altogether it was rather a tenn pestuous trip, and 1t may have had the effect of implanting into the mind of Mr. Gunter some of the wild and exciting plots which he has since de- veloped into book form.

Facts About the Moonstone.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
 "The word precious cannot be applied to moon- stones" said we'll known dealer in jewelry, "be- cause their marketable value is relatively small at all times, and is still further influenced by the de- crees of fashion. For some years past we have had but few calls for moonstOnes, but about twelve months ago they were restored to popular favor and will probably continue to be much used for sometime to come. The stones come from India, are easily procured and there is but little waste in cut ting. They are generally of & blueish, white tint the rays of the most perfect stones much resembling moonlight (hence the name), those of 6 less clear or yellowish hue being of little value. When carved, the clear transparency of the stone is of course marred, but many of them embellished the man in the moon being favorite device, and a babys face surrounded with 6 cap of pearls dia- monds another"
 The moonstone is seldom worn alone by fashion able people, having usually an accompanying set- ting of diamonds or other precious stones. In re- spOnse to question the dealer added: "The larg- est moonstone have ever seen was one of oblong shape about one andthree-fourths inches in length and three -fourths of an inch in width. This was set to represent butterfly with partially closed wings of brilliantly colored stones, and was in- tended to be worn as 6 pendant. These stones are not valued by weight as others are, but simply by appearance and size, 6 perfectly round stone be- ing more desirable than a fatter one, and more rare."
 As the moonstone stone Is traditionally lucky 1t is most suitable for souvenirs, parting and anni- versary gifts, and from present indications will be much used for favors and wedding presents during the coming gay season.

GOODBYE.

Soft fall the mOonlight's silvery rays, Gltstening-tte crest of the wave cts dancingi Fair IS the maid by the shore, who strays, Gladne. $ and hope rom her blue eyes glancing. Now, she is nearing the try stlng tree, Soon her true love she's fondly greeting. Lt' tie she thinks the moments nee, This Is to be theIr farewell meeting. Sad would the heart be. oh. butter ths ssgh Could we know when we're bidding a last good bye. No longer tho moon bea ans gild the tide, Athwart the sky ts the lightning cleaning. The youth has sailed from his promised bridei safe in her home she Is sweetly dreaming, No dread forebodinRs ctsturb her sleep; Peaceful she rests on her snowy pillow; Her love the while, where the surges sweep, Lies cold and still meath the foaming pillow. Sad would the heart be, oh, bitter the sigh, Could we know when we're bidding a last good bye. All through our lives dropping friends. Bidding gooi-bye without thou ant of grieving, And dark the shadow each parting lends To the end of life we are dettly weaving; In that land of light where no shadows rest, Lies end complete, and our laboTs ended, We shall find our lives had not been blest Had the shadows neeT with the sunshine blended. An, grieve not, dear friend. have no bitter sigh, To the faithful and true there Is DO good bye
