Mr.. George Bofnger has gone to Des
Moines, expecting to go into business
with his brother. Mr.. Bonnger Is one
of the most industrious individuals on

nominee for treasurer, and by the way
one Of the best citizens and republicans
in the county, was in Audubon Tues

pleasant farm In Extra township, which
confines him pretty closely to home.
Atlantic has just held very success
full and entertaining merchants carni.
val at the opera house. Each business
was represented by lady dressed In a
manner to advertise the business Of the
house. The description of the cos
tunes indicates that a great deal of
ingenuity was exercised. Something Of
this nature would prove drawing card
In Audubon.
Died, on Monday morning at o'clock
at his home four and half miles south
west of Audubon, Mr.. w. ii. Graham.
Mr.. Graham had only been sick q few
hours. He was In town on Saturday
and in his usual health. The supposed
cause of his death was heart disease.
Mr.. Graham was an upright and honor.

The consequences of the Bartlett. Full.
lerton runaway, reported last week,
were much less serious than rumor al,
legged. Mr.. Fullerton was not made In.
sensible, but was Oh his feet holding
the runaway team when assistance
came, and the horse that died was the
only one injured. Mr.. Bartlett did the
handsome thing in giving Mr.. Fuller
ton horse to take the place of the one
killed. There might be fine point
raised on the question rs to who was
responsible for the unfortunate affair,

removed by the generous action of Mr..
Bartlett In replacing the loss so far as

The gentlemen and veterans who
went to Milwaukee to atteud the ma
tional eucampment of the Grand Army
have all returned, reporting a grand
good time and hospitable entertain
ment, with slight disappointment In
the naval battle. A novel instance
was that Of a Milwaukee brewer draw.
ing his personal check for $4,000 to
provide seats for the veterans from
which to view the naval battle. He
afterwards invited the encampment to
his brewery where each caller was per-
mitted to dampen his guzzle with the
beverage. The Audubon delegation
seem to have entered into compact to

learn that any of them partook Of the
treat, though some betray suspicious
knowledge in speaking Of the effort 1t
required to reach the bar.
There has of late been n revival of
interest in the question of wheat grow.
ing in Iowa, encouraged by the Millers'
Association and by agricultural news
papers. 1t Is not probable that the
acreage will be perciptibly increased by
resolutions Of committees or by news
paper articles, but rather as the crop
proves profitable to the men who SOW
and reap. Mr.. J. l.. Stotler, of the mill
ing firm Of Kuhn, Culver Il Stotler, Of
this city, informs the writer that grists
have been brought to their mills of this
years Audubon county crop, and the
quality Is happy surprise to him. Mr..
Stotler states that much Of the wheat
Is as good as that which they have been
shipping in from foreign fields, and
makes an excellent quality of -four.
No doubt such results, II general
through the state, will encourage a
greater interest next year, and that the
acreage will exceed any of its immedi-
ate predecessors.
