derful power and as an auxiliary to
the prohibitory law is doing great
deal to reform Iowa.
The census figures for Audubon have
not been returned from the supervisor
at Council Bluffs. One who is very
good authority says that the figures for
the incorporated town of Audubon are
between 1850 and 1900. The lowest
figure indicates growth of 29S since
the census Of 1885.
Our democratic friends should not
forget or underestimate the genial gen.
tieman and brave Colonel, Joseph Tam,
of Stuart in their congressional esti-
mates, lie is being numerously inter.
viewed by the newspaper reporters, and
seems to have the one subject upper,
most in his active mind. Let the
Colonel come to the front. lie has hus-
tied and paid the freight for the other
boys long enough.
A prominent lumber dealer said the
other day that there was greater activi.
ty in his business than there had been
for years. Within sixty days business
has so increased that carpenters cannot
be secured to do the work contemplat.
ed. The demand is largely from the
country, showing that the farmers are
prospecting and rejoicing In the pros
poets of the year. II is the experience
of all that business Is much better than
during the early months Of the year,
Messrs. McKarahan s. Vandenburgh
have commenced placing material on
the ground for the erection of brick
building on their lot Immediately west
of the Citizens Bank. The structure
will be 25xl00, two stories high, and
will be completed and ready for occu.
pancy this fall. A. 4. Armstrong will
replace the Bank building with u sub.
stantial brick structure In the early
spring.
VIM. Mehle, the correct style mer.
chant tailor, has just received large
invoice of domestic and imported goods
for fall suitings. lie is prepared to
show splendid goods for suits and pants
and guarantees correct style and per.
feet ut. His prices are right for good
goods and good work. Call and inspect
stock, and satisfy yourself rs to styles
and prices.
Mrs. Lois q. Stuart and Mrs. VIM.
G. Stuart have bought of ii. w. Hanna
the vacant corner lots south of Frank
Gleasons residence and will have work
upon the structure under way very
soon. We understand that 1t Is their
purpose to finish the building this year.
They will return from the east about
September list, when more definite ar.
rangements will be made. There is rs.
surance, however, that they will erect a
handsome addition to that valuable
residence portion Of our city.
The veterans are enjoying a most
successful reunion ut Boston this week.
The grand review OH Tuesday was
more than two miles long and occupied
more than two hours In passing a given
point. The president and many mill
tary heroes and eminent civilians are
In attendance. The country at large
will wish the heroes Of the late un-
pleasantness thoroughly good time.
Parents, would 1t not be parental and
judicious for you to attend evening ser
vices with your boys to keep them
quiet and see that others are not dis
turbed by their Ill behaviour. 1t is a
ridiculous farce for either parents or
church authorities to allow few young
people to annoy an entire congregation
at every service without even a rebuke
or word Of warning. II is alike unjust
to the boys and to the community, and
inculcates more the principles OF evil
than Of good. Decorum, decency and
discipline should be taught and enforced
at least as we'll In the Sabbath school
and church as In the public school and
homes.
John Gray has sold his residence In
Audubon to Mr.. Frank Leet and will
soon move into his new home in Extra.
Until then he says he is looking for a
quiet, comfortable place to camp in
our streers while the new home is be-
ing completed. No, no, John, we can,
not allow that. The latch string hangs
out for yourself and family at every
home In Audubon, and all you need to
do is to make your own choice of whose
home you will share, then pull the latch
string, walk In and make yourself at
home. You are always welcome in
Audubon, and we all dislike TO have
you go, but perhaps change Of pasture
may prove beneficial.
A full report Of the democratic state
convention will be found on our first
page. The platform is strang comb
nation Of contradictions and inconsis-
tencies. That former principles" OH
the temperance issue are re-affirmed Is
sufficient. The party Is traditionally
opposed to temperance legislation, and
their preaent position as in the past
will hold the saloon power In its con
troll. The party is still in favor of the
Australian ballot in Iowa as a harm
less reform, but is radically opposed to
national control of election in the south
The ticket is not strong one. Abso-
lutely nothing is offered to gain the
party additional strength In the state.
Guess who's coming?
/ don't know.
Well guess?
Booth and Barrett?
No.
