Judge Carson Gained.

The bar OF Audubon county prepared
very agreeable surprise for Judge
Carson last Thursday night, consisting
in the purchase and presentation of a
very heavy, ebony, gold headed cane.
Court was in session in the evening and
Mr.. Andrews on behalf of the bar and
court officers asked for a brief recess.
which the Judge though somewhat
mystilied granted. Mr.. Funk, speaking
for the association said that each at
tOrney had lost a case before Mr.. Car
son; that they had treasured up and
aggregated these grievances, and be-
lieyed that he should be punished: for
this purpose they had procured cane,
which he presented with the hope that
it might attend him through declining
years, and serve To preserve recollec-
tons Of the Audubon county bar.
Judge Carson was much surprised, and
in returning thanks for the token made
splendid remarks with reference to the
relations existing between the court
and bar, He said that during his ju.
dicial term his associations with the
bar had been most agreeable and friend
ly, and that he most highly priced the
token because of its Specification that
while he had labored to perform his
duties impartially and honestly he was
accorded the merit of conscientiOusness
Attorneys Andrews and Green spoke
briefly, expressing confidence in and re-
spect for the Judge who was presiding
for the last time. A committee was
appointed to spread minutes on the
court record, when the bar meeting was
adjourned, and the court resumed its
grinding.

Death Of VIM. IL. Negley.

The Pythian Lodge of this place re.
ceived a telegram from the lodge MT
Canton, III. last Monday morning, an.
nouncing the death of VIM. IL. Negley,
ut Cincinnati, on Sunday.
A few weeks ago we referred imper-
sonally to the misfortune that had be.
fallen former business man of Audu-
bon. Soon after Mr.. Negley retired
from the Commercial Bank and moved
To walnut, Il arrangement of his mind
was apparent to all of his friends. There
were no violent demonstrations, though
the evidence of the sad fate was unmis.
taxable. lie absented himself from
Walnut and nothing was known of his
whereabouts for a period of three weeks.
At last he was found in a hospital Mt
Davenport, and was by his father and
sister taken TO the family home Mt Can.
ton, Ill. There the disease would leave
his mind clear upon alternating DAYS,
whom he would talk nationally though
TO him u condition of fate that but lit.
tie benefit was realized. The friends
induced him to go to Cincinnati, Ohio.
To receive treatment by specialist,
though he argued that II was useless
endeayor, and that IL they would wait
u few weeks that fact would be demon
strated. IL Is known that death oc-
CURED ut Cincinnati and limited infor.
nation leads to the belief that death
was inflicted by his own hand. The
cause, whether real or imaginary Is un.
known at this time.
The information comes with great
sadness to many of the people Of An.
dubon, who knew Mr.. Negley intimate.
ly for three years. A man of thirty
five years and single he mingled much
In society, where his cheerful presence
and many kind attentions made him al
ways a welcome guest. Endowed in an
unusual degree with musical talent his
rich voice was heard on maay occasions
OF merriment and mourning, and al
ways IN happy and sympathetic accord
with The engagements of the hour.
While those OF passing acquaintance
could but entertain respect for him,
those of more intimate association
knew him to possess a nature of quick
sympathtes and deep sensibilities, faith
full to friends and charitable to all. In
both the business and social circles he
was highly esteemed, and all of his
many acquaintance sincerely mourn
his untimely demise. Mr.. Negley be-
came u member of the Pythian lodge,
to which he was devoted and faithful,
and while his absence by removal was
regretted, that body fraternally,and SIM
cerely mourns his death.
The funeral was held at Canton, on
Tuesday at | p. N,

Ringing Day.

Every important holiday event Is
known by some popular name. The
Fourth of July is no more general
holiday than the one on which the
Great Hingling Brothers Monster Rail
road shows appear: and so universally
has this become established that the
advent Of the enormous institution Is
known far and near as Ringing Day.
The daily expenses Of these Monster
Shows are so great that if their reputa-
ton was not so good that all feel they
would be great losers If they missed
seeing them, the Big Show could not
live a month. This is why schools,
factories, business places, and even
legislatures and courts, are closed when
they come, and all transportation com
panies can afford to give their patrons
cheap excursion rates. Ringling Day
comes this year at Audubon, Tuesday
July [.

Mrs. T. Caldwell.

Mrs. NJ. V. Caldwell died at Adel,
Iowa, on Tuesday june Bird, 1890, of
cerebral apoplexy.
Mrs. Caldwell was born near Rich
mond, Indiana, February 10th, 1910, re-
moved TO Dallas county, Iowa with her
parents i'll 1854, where she has resided
almost continuously to the time of her
death. She was married to DIR. +. j.
Caldwell, October LIST, 1860, since which
time her home has been in Adel. Mrs.
Caldwell was born of Quaker stock, be-
ing directly In the line of the Mays Of
Nantucket Island, of whom Whittier
wrote his poem "The Exiles." She and
her husband were charter members of
the Presbyterian church in Adel, in
which she was an active worker. Her
life was beautiful life of faith and
trust in her Savior,
When the stroke came upon her ON
Tuesday morning at 1915 she was alone.
She was conscious and knew she must
have help. She got to the door and
signaled some one who happened to see
her and her husband was called. Other
medical aid was summoned and every
thing that advanced medical skill could
do availed nothing, She remained con-
scious, suffering greatly for about three
hours when unconsciausness and CON-
plete paralysis came to her relief. She
continued In that condition until l0I7
in the evening when she ceased to
breathe.
Her funeral was held at the home
conducted by Rev. Nye, pastor of the
Methodist church In Abel, the Presby-
tartan nhnreh having no nastor at that
time. She was laid to rest in the
Quaker burying ground near Redfeld.
The Des Moines and n. w. r. r. Co.,
kindly placed a special train at the SEN
ator's disposal to carry the large COM
pany of friends and the remains of the
loved one to the place where the last
sad rites we're performed.
The kindly offices performed by many
kind friends and the many words OF
tender sympathy telegraphed and writ
ten greatly eomforted Senator Caldwell
in the sad hour.

eral Territories have no collection of
such statistics, and in several Of the
Governors annual reports of 1889 there
is no attempt to estimate the number of

The winter losses on the range con-
stitute another element of uncertainty.

others very heavy, and only partially

estimated. indicate an increase in ten
years of forty per cent in cattle other

somewhat earlier. and it is found that
beef can not be made at a profit without

Re1Dect the Cow.

A COW of mine firmly believes she is
as much entitled to meal as 1 am to
milk, writes II. T. Brooks in the New
York Tribune. She has converted me
to her opinion, or. rather, forced me to
acquiesce. In the spring after she
calved gave her night and morning, at
milking time, feed of bran and meal
When the grass improved l omitted the
bran and meal, but proposed to milk
her all the same. She objected to this
arrangement, kicked and walked spite
fully away. My man and got her into
close quarters, held her fast, determined
to have milk on our own terms. but
Crumple Horns was just as determined
that we shouldn't have it. We soon
found that the COW controlled the sup
plies; she wouldn't ''give down" her
milk. We took to coaxing and patting
her; persistently, but gently, squeezing
her teats; it availed little; we retired
worsted, thinking we would get q
double portion in the morning; but in
the morning she gave US little more
than half her usual quantity and so on
for week. l saw that withLNt meal
she would diminish her milk nud soon
dry up. I said to my hired man. bad
luck to the fellow that quarrels with his
COW; we should remember that in all
milking arrangements the cow is party
concerned-in fact, the party of the
first. Unless we can be on good terms
with our cow we had better not have
one."

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

NEVER prop a fruit tree, says the
| New England Homestead. If the load
is too heavy, thin the fruit, and make
what is left better than it could pos
sibly be if over-crowded.
NINE cases out of ten, where a variety
| of fruit which once flOurished in a given
soil has ceased to flourish and perfect
| fine fruit there. the change is due to toe
fact that the soil has become destitute
of the necessary mineral manure.
SEEDS of beets, carrots and parsnips
are slow to germinate. They may he
made to swell and sprout quickly If
placed in flannel bag and moistened
with warm water daily. Some garden
ers mix the seeds with fine earth before
placing the seeds in the bag.
ONE o. the best locations for garden
is to turn under clover sod; now apply
thirty bushels of air-slacked lime per
acre Tor proportionately), and then cross
plough the land in the spring. The
ground must be we'll narrowed and made
fine before planting the seed, however.
If you wish to set tree or vine where
an old one has died out, remove a con.
siderable amount of earth and fill in
with good and fresh new soil. 1t will
pay to take this trouble. A new plant,
for some reason, recoils from taking root
in the soil of one that has failed to live.
1T is said that the soil around an old
tree, especially dead one, is unfavora-
BILE to the growth of a young one-proba'
bly, because the soil is exhausted on
some important food element, which,
may have caused the death of the oil
tree. If a young tree is set in place ut
an old one it is best to remove large
portion of the old soil and replace it
with new if you want the young tree to
thrive.
IT is better to apply the manure
thick than to attempt to make it 80 IS
far as possible by spreading it on in
thin layers In the one case H. must
nourish more plants than it possesses
nutrition for, and in the other case the
plants will have sufficiency and pro-
duce more than If the surply is de-
ficient Plants waste portion Of the
manure in the growth Of stalks and
leaves that are unstable, and if they
can be made to yield more at less ex-
pense of growth the manure will give
better results and the profit will be
greater.
