A considerable strike occurred at the
slaughter house in Atlantic last week.
The foreman informed them that all
who were not back at noon would find
their places filed One of the men
who moved from here there was ad-
vised by his wife to hustle back to his
job, which he did to his own advantage
aud to the credit of womans judy
ment.
The Iowa Weather-Cro Bulletin for
the week ending May 23rd, has two re-
ports from Audubon county, as fol.
lows: llamlin-The low temperature
and dry weather have put all crops
back badly, but the drouth was broken
this morning (22nd) by a good rain.
We now look for better things. Rain.
fall 100 inches. Gray-The continued
cold and dry weather has injured oats
and barley crop very materially. All
crops are three weeks behind those of
last year at this time.
II is time preparations were being
made, If Audubon would celebrate the
glorious fourth. A celebration has not
been held here since 1886, and our
neighboring towns have monopolized
the patriotism of the county. The
grove \ half mile north of town would
afford n very good shelter from the
sun and would accommodate a very
large crowd. Let the people of Audu-
bon move In this matter and assure an
old fashioned celebration at the coun.
ty seat, aud II Is reasonable to presume
that our neighbors would come to see
us in large numbers.
Hon. G. q. Mccarthy, of Nevada,
story county, was in Audubon yester-
day afternoon. lie Is a candidate for
the republican nomination for auditor
OF state and very genial gentleman.
Mr.. Mccarthy has served rs auditor of
story county for three terms, and was

elected to the lower house of the 23rd
general assembly, where he served
with credit to himself and county. lie
IL very cordially endorsed by the news.
papers of both parties in his home.
We are glad to learn that he is more of
a republican than a candidate and is
not urging his claims any moro than In
the matter of extending his personal
acquaintance.
"A thing of beauty in the way of a
good buggy is Joy forever. The j. q.
Nelson buggy now being sold in this
vicinity Is the paragon of vehicles.
They are manufactured ut Stuart and
every one is hand made and put up TO
meet the necessities of this country.
Every piece of wood and iron that goes
into their manufacture Is known TO DO
sound and all right, and the finish IL
equal to the higher priced buggies. In
point of price, the same quality is not
sold for the same money by any other
man or firm, because II Is seldom that
they come so direct from the manu-
facturer to the final purchaser, thus
saving the several profits. BE sure and
see Carper about these buggies and the
price asked for them before buying,
and he will certainly save you money
and make you happy.
Court house hall was handsomely,
tastefully and significantly decorated
for the union memorial services held
last Sunday morning, and the choir
executed new and especially appropri-
ate music. The address of the occasion
was made by Rev. Il. l.. llgenfritz, and
II was pronounced to be one of the
best of its kind ever delivered In Audi
bon. lie expressed his deep sympathy
with the veterans and the cause by say
ing that while his father marched with
the loyal forces, he was nursed upon
the breast Of loyal mother, and that
the same loyal blood coursed through
his veins. His text was LIST Samuel,
18th chapter and Gath verse. Harmon
izing the issues of religion and patriot
ism, he appealed to nations and to in
dividuals to be loyal to both, and re-
ferred to history In support Of the as
sertion thata nation without a christian
religion cannot endure. Citing the
familiar history of eur own country,
he charged the secular press with in
justice In that 1t did not more clearly
show the hand of Providence in public
affairs, while he referred to the fact
that those men who have been promi-
nent in the nation during the times of
its trials and deliverance from evils
have been men who believed in and ac-
knowledghd the supreme being. The
nation has been God.fearing, christ
ian nation, and its perpetuity is de-
pendent upon the maintenance and
propagation of that religion, nationally
and individually. The speakers argu-
ment was forceful, earnest and con-
vincing, and was well received by the
large audience. The occasion inspired
Rev. Ilgenfritz to thoughtful, master
ly effort, while the earnestness of his
delivery indicated deep sincerity, and
patriotic aud religious fervor.
