According to unauthenticated re.
ports the republican county convention
will have the choice of u multiplicity
of candidates for the office of sheriff.
AT least u half dozen names of good
republicans are mentioned in this con,
nection, but as usual such rumors are
unfounded, and the situation will prob
ably not find more than two or possibly
three candidates before the convention.
II is conceded that the republican con-
vention will nominate the next Sheriff
of Audubon county, rs our majority is
now decided, and the fact that there is
an honest rivalry for the nomination
by men who will abide the decision of
the convention is a favorable feature,
and will materially assist that assem-
blage in making good and judicious
choice.

Municipal Matters.

The city council was In session Mon

Gorder and Scott
An order was made that all wooden
awnings on Broadway DO taken down.
There has been considerable complaint
from time to time regarding these un.
slightly and dangerous overhangings,
which are frequently left for months in
u dilapldated condition, and this action
of the council is simply the reflection
of well crystalized public opinion. The
order may entail hardship upon few

more convenient, and when uniformly
adopted will prove an ornament to the
street.
A further commendable action was the
the appropriation of $50 towards de-
fraying the expenses Of the fire depart
ment in attending the tournament to be
heldat Counci! Bluffs next June. The
fire department has been In existence for
eight years, and rs we are informed

Prosperous Audubon.

Audubon continues to grow II Is
not necessary to recte the number Of
buildings now In course of erection to
prove the fact that Audubon Is enjoy
ing a year OF wonderful prosperity.
The year as q rule through the country
at large Is not one of forward enter
prises. The reports of business on rail-
roads usually presents fair and hon.
est indication of business throughout
the country, and accepting this as u
criterion it will be admitted that tho
present season Is quiet one In general.
But the fact remains that Audubon in
its entirety Is AZ prosperous as any sea,
son IN Ito history. Business Is good In
all branches, tradesmen and artisans
are busy every working day, and tho
town is enjoying a hardy, healthy
growth. Citizens of Audubon have an
abiding faith in the town, and are de-
yeloping every portion of it with a de-
ternined confidence which assures its
future prosperity. The rapid sale of
land in the suburbs most clearly indi-
Gates this truth. The larger portion of
lots in the southern suburbs running to
the intersection by the railroad track
has been disposed of. Only last year
the eastern division was opened to sale,
and nearly all have been taken, not for
speculation, but by parties who enter
tain bona iide intention of building
comfortable homes in their own good
time. And these sales have been so
rapid and at such equitable values that
other heretofore idle lands will be plac-
ed on the market, and as quickly taken
for their worth in live and enterpris-
ing town. This confidence in the pres
ent and future of Audubon, by men
who know its every advantage, is tho
best indication of prosperity. and in
brief constitute the basis upon which
is built one of the best towns in Iowa.
And along with this unhesitating
business stability and advancement the
causes of christianity, education and
are keeping more than even
pace, and these are advantages which
can not well be Overestimated.
Audubon has never in any year of its
history been dull in business way nor
cas- its steady progress abated, and we
are all glad in these numerous and nm
evidences that the present
is one of brightest years in the first de-
cade.

A Sudden Summons.

The community was shocked las
Friday evening by the report that Mrs
S. A. Smith, living in the southwestern
suburbs had died very suddenly in hel
door yard. Inquiry developed the fact
that she had partaken of supper with
the family, and while other members
of the family went about their various
duties she went to the garden to work
A few moments later she was found by
one of the children PROSTATE and life
extinct. The cause was undoubtedly
heart disease, with which she had been
afflicted for several years. The lady
was about fifty years Of age and leaves
a family to mourn her loss. She was
very Industrious and had been most
worthy helpmeet to her husband in nc,
cumulating good property. The flu.

indisputably sustained by the fact that
they already have more contracts on

taken during the whole of any preced-

are obvious. The prices for their work
are lower than are charged by many

1t Is very easy to find fault with men
who are In places of public trust. The
board Of supervisors, the town council,
school teachers, etc, are too frequently
the objects of adverse criticism, when u
little considerable and reasonable
thought and investigation Of the mo-
tives which actuate them would ut least
temper the spirit of criticism to mod
Grafton and palate the mistakes which
all admit are sometimes made. The
place of one on either of the public
boards mentioned is not one to be GOV.
eted by the average citizen, 1t Is not
occupied for the salary attached or the
honor conferred, and there are no spells
which can incite men to selfish or un.
just action. They are creatures of and
subject to the good viii of the public,
and can only hope for reward In main.
tanning and promoting that element.
A member of such board whose mo-
tiyes are not to promote public inrer-
ests or who in his official capacity
strives TO serve selfish and personal In.
terests Is soon known as such among
his colleagues and to the public and
the wrath of public confidence violated
Is visited upon him at an early day.
Let the actions of these men be judged
from the standard of public veal, their
acts criticized In spirit Of considera-
ton, and their motives investigated,
rather than hypercriticism and jealousy,
and there will remain few to say that
the deeds are not for the best interests
of the whole.

room this winter, is LIE Reve. This
dance, as its name implies, is dreamy
to q degree. 1t is, OF course, a round
dance, as the waltz still reigns su-
preme. as it doubtless always will.
The movements IN this dance are es-
sentially voluptuous, and with dreamy
music the dancers may glide along
into soulful bliss to their hearts con-
tent. It starts off with three glides
the last made slowly to a hewitchingly
sweet half-measure note from the or.
chestra. Then there follows a coupe
or thrusting forward Of the foot and
recovering it Immediately behind the
other foot. After that there is the
jete, or delicious little mousy jump
with the forward foot, at the same
time bringing the other foot to a posi-
ton of rest. This position of rest is
technically termed the assemblies
That is all there is to it, and the

marily removing him from Office, but
giving no reason therefor. Mr.. Con-
rad has devoted three years time to
unearthing the gigantic land frauds
alleged to have been perpetrated by
John A. Benson and many others in
collusion with him. Mr.. Conrad at
tributes his removal to the influence
which the hackers of Benson have in
Washington. 1t is said these frauds
are more gigantic than has ever been
dreamed of, involving land worth

One of Astoria's anteponed needs is
a new custom house. Astoria is out
growing the present one, and needs a
government building more in accord
ance with the demands of the present
and the certainties of the future. Since
the last presidential election the boast
of our free trade friends that they
were going to do away with custom
houses, does not seem in fair way to
be realized. Astoria, therefore is con-
sistent in its belief that the port
should have a new custom house,
one costing about S250,000: some one
of our wealthy citizens will doubtless
be glad to donate site for the struc-
ture. 1t is none too soon to begin agi-
tating this matter.

And now that the value of timber
land in this county is recognized and it
is beginning to be assessed, it is sug-
gested that it should be insured. An
insurance agency to insure owners of
timber land against destruction or
loss by. fire would be something new,
but it viii arrive, eventually. A sin
gular anomaly will arise in this in
stance-the better the timber land the
less need to insure it: where the gi-
ants of the forest stand thickly to-
gether, the sunlight shut out, and no
underground, there is little likelihood
of fire. So also, in general, through
out this region for Several months in
the year, short term policies cover.

probably be the most popular style OF

escape from drowning. While cross

drowned. He managed to reach
shore more dead than alive, after
losing the mail sack. This was the
first trip the man had taken and il
was quite unfortunate for him as the
horse was valuable one.
