w. III. OConnell returned Tuesda
night from a ten days tour through tn

his conclusions further than that h
has abandoned the idea Of establishin,

Frank ID. Allen has SO far recovered
from his attack of measles as to be abb,
to again attend to business, bu,
the effects of the disease are tenn
porarily apparent in his complexion
and his rich bass voice Is as an .Eoliar

Mr.. Sarsuel +. Pray, visited in Audu'
bon over sunday, while returning from
California to his home in Minneapolis,
Mimi, lie is an old time resident OF
Audubon county, having owned the
August Oelke farm before the town of
Audubon was plated
| VIM. Mcl.erm returned Tuesday
evening from a visit TO the home of
Capt, Stuart, ut Osceola, Ill. He re-
ports the Captain as having slightly
improved during the past week, but
not in such degree us to inspire hope
of permanent recovery,
The merchants of Audubon never
did SO much to make the town attrac.
tive as they are doing this spring in
making fine exhibits of goods in win
dows. II is an evidence of industry
and enterprise, and adds much to the
appearance of the town.
The company by which Geo, A. Clarke
is employed presented him with hand
some sewing machine, The table and
cover are antique oak, finished in oil
and il is altogether first class machine,
| The gentlemen's excellent services are
worthy of such recognition,
We are glad to state that Miss DE.
Elite Foster is rapidly recovering from
the attack of muscular rheumatism.
The change for the better came Mon.
day morning, since which time progress
has been uninterrupted. Her many
friends will rejoice in the prospect of
early and complete recovery.
Harlan has been making endeayors
to induce the North Western people to
extend the Kirkman branch to Shelbys
capital, and have offered to donate the
road bed, but the polite officials reply
that adverse legislation and poor bust.
ness preclude the possibility this year.
Some other year, gentlemen.
The reports from all parts of the
country indicate fine prospects for
small fruit. There have been no late
frosts to blight the buds. Horticulture
in Audubon county Is in its incipiency,
but the very successful experience of
B. w. Carr last year should encourage
Others to invest in this branch.
A change in time on all of the roads
running through Iowa will take place
on the L. inst, making consequent
changes on all branches. The Union
Pacific has discontinued it's palatial
Golden Gate Special as non-paying
luxury, and the Chicago Council Bluffs
passengers will be run to connect with
the slower trains.
Miss Ida White, who has been in Au-
dubon teaching painting since early
fall, returned to her home IN Red Oak
yesterday. Many residences are now
ornamented with easles as souvenirs of
her sojourn here. The lady has been
an interchangeable worker, showing ex-
traordinary devotion to her profession,
and has made the winter profitable to
both teacher and pupil.
Mrs. A. a. Young, of Concord, n. H.,
organized Il lodge of Pythian Sisterhood
at Council Bluffs last week, The order
is auxiliary TO the Knights Of Pythias,
and though but year old is rapidly
growing in the east. We believe the
grand lodge of Iowa voted against q
sisterhood at the last meeting, but If u
few lodges were organized II isprQbable
they would be recognized another meet.

The measles is or are, rs you like it,,
though those who have suffered from
the disease maintain that the plural is
correct fairly raging IN Audubon
The public school attendance is depre-
ciated, more especially In the lower
rooms. While the disease Is always
dreaded the season is favorable to it,
and all things considered one may be
congratulated who goes through a
siege at this time.
The school board will meet next Mon
day night to employ teachers for the
ensuing year. We believe that no
change in the present corps of instruct
ors is contemplated. All are efficient,
and are watchful for every opportunity
TO enhance the interests of education
in Audubon. They hold meetings at
least once u fortnight to discuss meth
DDS and measures, exchange ideas and
promote their profession. All are good
teachers able, conscientious and earn
est, working in harmony toward one
ideal, and have the work so systema-
tiled that a change would prove an
interruption.
The campaign of 1899 is opened in
Audubon county by the announcement
of Mr.. Geo. HardenbrOok, of Extra, as
candidate for the Office of Sheriff. 1t
will be but few weeks until conventions
are called to nominate, and giving no
tice of candidacy thus early will result
in wiser, more deliberate action in that
assemblage. Mr.. 1lardenbrOok is
among the earliest settlers of South
Audubon county, and enjoys a wide
acquaintance in the county. His quail
iications for the office are unquestion.
