w. II. Copeland, of Extra, was exam
MED before the supreme court at Des
Moines, yesterday, and admitted to the
bar, The young man has been stud.
ent in the office of Attorney Statzell,
and has been attending u law school
for two years. Success to him.
During his sojourn here Judge Car.
son has stated to those In his confidence
that he positively is not candidate for
reelection, under any circumstances,
so that the various rumors to the con.
trary may be discredited. He has made
a good record while on the bench and
probably nothing but his own determi-
nation would prevent his name being
brought before the judicial convention.
Gentlemen whose words indicate action
have mentioned his name in connection
with the congressional nomination, but
there are so many contingencies that
such a possibility will not be seriously
discussed at this time.
AS we noticed last week postmasters
were required to keep account Of the

age paid on same st7.s6. But q little
more than one half Of the pieces were
letters, which paid almost three fourths
of the postage. Considering that the
mail matter received more than double
the number despatched, 1t will be con
cluded that the duties of the postmast.
er and his assistants are multitudinous.
The Audubon Office contains $50 call
boxes and 100 lock boxes.
There is on exhibition at the Audi.
bon County Bank u fragment Of the
meteor that was fired through the heav.
ems a few days ago, and the great bulk
of which fell in Winncbago county.
This particle was seen TO shoot through
the heavens and fall in the public park,
where II was picked up sissing hot by a
citizen, whose name we withhold for
prudential reasons. lie is naturally
dihident about relating his experience,
as he fears the criticism Of an incredu.
lous public, but we boldly put ourselves
in his place and give this bit Of infor.
nation to the community and to sci.
ence. This Is no fragment Of q lie.

lions for the hours TO be thus occupied
and make the parade all that 1t should
be. Audubon has u good fire depart
ment, made up of men who volunteer
faithful service, and the town should
give evidence OF It's iterest therein on
all occasions. Many times the boys In.

the public and individuals and 1t will
be very becoming act on the part of
the public to return the compliment rs
the occasion thus offers.
The call for the republican county
to select delegates to attend
the state, congressional and judicial
is printed In this issue.
Called for these purposes only 1t will
not precipitate scrabble In the coun-
ty, but will awaken lively interest
among all who have the choice of good |
for these high places at
heart. Iowa has been blessed with |
and faithful state officers in |
the past, and the same kind should be
selected by republicans for the future.
The judicial and congressional candi.
dates are of equal, II not greater i'm
portance, and equal judgment should
be exercised in their selection. The eI-
perience of last year should be made
profitable in 1890. At that time an eff
fort was made to instruct the delegates
for this or that candidate; failing In
that delegates were chosen who were
pledged TO certain candidates, with the
result that the strength of the county
was divided and not much In demand.
Delegates should be chosen to all con.
yentions from among men In whom re.
publicans have confidence In their abili.
ty TO act and vete for the best interests
of the party in the light of events de.
veloped at the convention. Delegates
instructed or pledged are bound hand
and foot and cannot act for the best in
terests Of the party.

Danish Separator Creamery Company
Of Indian Valley are published in this
Issue. The headquarters Of the com.
pany is at Kimballton, and in the midst
of splendid farming community.
The formation of this company but
emphasizes the degree of prosperity
which these people are enjoying. Kim
ballton is located in the midst Of the
Indian Valley, famous for Its beauty
and fertility, and the thrift Of its peo-
pie. Almost without exception the far.
mers thereabouts are prospecting in
marked degree, the exceptions being
only among those who had not become
firmly established before the agricul-
tural depression Of the past two years.
All their lands show faithful and most
advantageous cultivation, and many
comfortable and pleasant homes are
