Both Iowa is making special effort to

Messrs. Hodgson Il War;, proprietors
of the Atlantic foundry, finished the
work of putting sixty-one new flues in
the engine, and the water works sys-
tenn is again doing good work after q
vacation of two weeks. Supt. Freeman
delighted the people on Broadway by
turning the big hose ON the dust Mon
day afternoon. In the absence of %
street sprinkler II was great relief
The farmers Of Audubon county may
well rejoice In the fine prospect for an
abundant crop. OF course continued
drought would do immense damage,
but there is no reason to fear that the
unfailing record of good crop will be
broken, while the indications are sure
that prices will be such as TO warrant u
good return for the work. There Is
promise of very prosperous year for
Audubon county.
Prof. A. l.. Shattuck and wife, of
Upton, were In town last Friday night
the guests of Prof. Repass and family.
They were en- route TO Sac City, where
the Professor Is engaged In institute
work for two weeks, when he will re.
turn for the normal here, August 1870.
Prof. Shattuck Is one of Iowa's fore
most instructors, as was recognized by
the state superintendent In calling up
on him to assist In compiling the hand
book for Iowa teachers just issued from
that oflce.
Major Ben Brookfield was AZ years old
Sunday, and his wife and numerous
friends made IL memorable. The form
er prepared splendid meal and had u
large company there to partake. The
friends presented Ben with very fine
umbrella with their names engraved
upon the handle The engraving Is u
happy foresight, else that umbrella
would very soon be In the hands of the
Manning or Audubon boys, either of
whom would take II without the provo
cation OF cloud.
Last Sunday afternoon Frank An
drews' four year old tot, Johnnie, went
to the barn and drew OH the gasoline
barrel for an unknown quantity of its
contents, which he scattered about OH
the rubbish. lie touched match to
the saturated stuff and IL burned adj
mirably, indeed 80 tiercely that 1t re-
CURED prompt and effective work to
put II out. The legs Of the little lad
were so badly burned TO the knees that
the skin sl0ughed off when touched,
while his hands and face were quito
badly scorched. DIR. Denote dressed
the burns and the lad Is getting along
very nicely, though 1t will be some
weeks before recovery Is complete,
The retirement of Mr.. ID. Stormont
from the firm Of l.. q. Snyder Il Co.
will be universally regretted by the
people Of Audubon and surrounding
country. During his residence here Of
two years he has won reputation for
fair and honest dealing and as man
and citizen has been much respected.
The change is advised on account OF
his health. lie has been troubled with
asthma for years, and when he first To-
Gated here the change seemed beneficial
but for many recent weeks he has suf-
fered severely and increasingly. We
hope the change he is now making may
prove permanently beneficial, and hope
to hear Of his recovery. Mr.. Stormont
went to the family home at Morning
Sun, yesterday.
