The Council Bluffs papers of the Goth
inst announced that Capt. Hight had
made his appointments of census
enumerators, but at this date the com.
missions of those selected for this
county have not been received, though
they are daily expected. II is known
that Audubon county is given twelve
enumerators, one for the incorporated
town of Audubon, the township out.
side being coupled with Hamlin, all
other townships being given an enum.
orator each, 1t is certainly time the
instructions were In the hands of enum-
orators, for the work must be com
menced in earnest on June Ind, --one
week from next Monday.
Messrs. Lancelot & Altman, pro.
prietors of the "Big Store" at Gray,
continue to draw trade. The wide ter.
ritory contributary to that town makes
It good trading point for many peo.
pie, and this enterprising firm make
every provision for supplying that trade
with the best that is to be secured.
Mr.. Lancelot, who has been for so
many years In the mercantile business
In this county, is known by every body,
while the new member, Mr.. Altman, is
rapidly growing In public favor. Both
gentlemen are thoroughly reliable and
enjoy the confidence of their patrons
and the public In general. They are In
splendid shape for serving the large
trade that comes to them, and are con
stantly adding lines to their general
stock. The big Store " is all right.
The pleasure of Firemen's Day was
marred by what at first appeared to be
a very serious accident, but develop.

will follow. Mr.. II. w. Van Gorder
had been welding the hose on top of
the Citizens Bank, and started down
an extension ladder. One of the rungs
being imperfect, the two ladders slip.

rungs and he was bodily capsized 30

cured, and though he was held by
strong hands during the several mo.

foot, they were moments OF suspense to
Mr.. Van Gorder and the audience. lie
was taken to his home, and DR.. Holmes
found the leg severely strained and the
patient suffering from the nervous
shock 1t was only by a miracle that
he was saved from falling headlong
twenty feet to the sidewalk below, and
regrets for the injury are coupled with
congratulations that the worst did not
happen.
A long looked for race came of Mt
the fair grounds last Monday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. II will be remembered
that G. ii. Jones' billiard Alexander
and Charlie Isham's Orvie G., were
evenly matched for special purse last
fair time, but the race was not trotted
because of the sickness of one of the
horses, and since that date II has been
postponed from time to time. Monday
morning, however, the sports were all
on the alert and succeeded in making |
a race on the conditions that billiard
Alexander should beat Orvie C's time
five seconds for purse Of $3.50. Oryie
G. made the mile in 2.44Si, billiard
Alexander in 24llS, so that while the
latter made the best time he lost the
purse because Of the unequal conditions
of the wager. Time was not announced
by the judges, but was caught by by
ISLANDERS. While neither horse is In good
condition for the track, the fact has
been satisfactorily proven that both
are good steppers, and can get to the
front when necessary.
There are frequent complaints OF the
action of boys and young men when
congregated on the street at evening.
On one of Is. +. Howald's plate glass
windows are scratches made by some
one in a spirit of wantonness or care
!essness, while in many other places
about town may be found the signs OF
equally destructive depredations. We
do not believe that 1t is good policy or
good reasoning to too severely condemn
the motive Of the boys, for much that
is done In this way Is performed in the
absence of something better for busy
hands to do. But however much may
be said in the way of apology for the
young men nothing can extenuate their
deeds. And right here is time for the
parents to interfere or rather intercede.
1t is time they should realize in its full
sense the dangers to which they are
suhiecting their children by allowing
them to roam about in idleness after
the regular hours of the days are done.
The characters Of boys are moulded by
the circumstances with which they are
surrounded, and If allowed to run thus
at large the number Of disadvantage
Gus habits they may contract are un-
limited. 1t should be remembered, too,
that persona seeking boys for work and
usefulness do not select those whose
