Mr.. J. l.. Stotler, Of the milling firm
of Kuhn, Culver Il Co., informs us that
the wheat raised in Audubon county
this year is equal to the best that they
have ever shipped in from the north.
Several loads have weighed out sixty
bushels from wagon measure. The
splendid quality, he thinks, should en-
courage farmers to seed larger acre
age to wheat in future years.
The New Park Hotel was suspicious
ly opened with ball and banquet last
Thursday evening. Over q hundred
and fifty guests were present to partake
of the hospitality and splendid banquet
provided by Landlord Miller and his
excellent wife. After the banquet the
floors were cleared and devotees of
Terpsichorie tripped the light fantastic
toe to music and mirth until q late
hour.
There was no brass band employed
to drum up crowd or manufacture
enthusiasm for the meeting addressed
by Judge Reed Monday evening. IL
wasn't needed. The reputation of the
speaker and his subject were sufficient
to attract large assemblage Of atten-
tive listeners, And the meeting was q
big success, without clap trap, and dis
tinguished by dignifled discussion of
the questions uppermost in this cam
paign.
A few days ago A. j. Story's cattle
broke in Fred Weeks corn field and
did considerable damage. The gentle
men are good neighbors, and rather
than get into any wrangle over the diff
ferences they called In other esteemed
neighbors, l. A. Shingledecker and VIM.
Owen to find the proper amount due
for their damages. This esteemed
board Of arbitration came readily to
decision 80 equitable and Just that the
injured party was willing to accept less
and the assessed was willing to pay
more than they decreed. Honorable
men as these gentlmen are will always
be willing to be governed by justice,
and it is pleasure to note the agree
able and satisfactory settlement of
small difference.
The Arnold Concert Opera Company
opened three nights engagement at
Russell's Tuesday evening and gave an
enchanting entertainment. To make
special reference without including all
of the artists would be to do an injus-
tice to eminently worthy people. The
concert numbers were all rendered
with faultless skill and each elected n
hearty encore, and to which the artists
graciously responded. The charming
operetta The Sleeping Queen I" is the
most clever bit Of comic opera on the
boards and these people present 1t In a
manner that can not be excelled. 1t is
gorgeously costumed, abounds in classic
song and harmony, in solos, duets, trios
and quartets, that are captivating. In
associating the Misses Ellie Cave, Olive
Louise Barry, Alice Flora Becktel, and
Mr.. NJ. Z. Haynes with himself, Mr..
Arnold is to be congratulated upon
carrying decidedly the best show on the
road.
Riley Briggs, of Pottawattamie coun
ty, has been surreptitiously making
democratic speeches in several district
school houses and spreading a great
deal Of misinformation. He has glib
tongue and makes up smooth address,
but it is maliciously untrue in many
respects. He has stated that democrats
passed the reduced interest bill in the
last legislature. Every man knows that
the democrats in that body were respon
sible for nothing but the protracted and
expensive dead lock. The interest bill
was republican measure. Senator
Cleveland, the democrat who succeeded
LATE Young in the Cass-Shelby district
because he was an alleged reformer,
voted against the interest bill, though
he came out In the papers the next day
and confessed that he didn't know what
the bill was when he did so. And now
this man Briggs has the impudence to
insult an intelligent public with the
claim thatit was democratic measure!
Another nearly fatal accident occur
red at the Fosnaugh crossing of the
North Western road two miles north
of town last Saturday morning. Mr.,
