A Grand War Concert will be given 10y

ing and beneficial entertainment as nc
effort or pains have been spared in the

The Memorial services Mt the court
house last Sunday were attended by a
very large congregation and We're beau.
tifully significant. Floral decorations
and special music together with heart
felt remarks paid deserved respect to
the memory of the honored dead. The
chief address was by Rev. Il. Dickinson
whose effort on this occasion is uniyer-
sally spoken of as his best, and that is
a high compliment from those who rec.
ognize him as one of the ablest speak
ers on such occasions.
At Carroll Saturday night the ollic,
of the American express company wac
robbed of $1,000, and tho night agent
Chas. Mathews, found bound and gag

thus disabled him and then fled with
the funds. Later Mathews made a con
fession duplicating Craig Niswongel
and Arson Scharnweber In tho plot
The two latter are young men Of good
parentaSe, have lived many years in
Carroll, and nothing short of proof will
convince the citizens Of that town that
they were Mathews accomplices. The
money was recovered.

the death Of Daniel Banning, at The

The postonice was removed to the
new building on Washington street
Tuesday evening. For the first time In
the history of the town this department
of the public business Is In quarters ap-
propriate to its needs. The building is
OF brick, 25xi5, with thirteen foot
ceiling, and all is new and clean. The
extreme front of the box. casing Is ten
feet from the front entrance, leaving a
spacious lobby. The conveniences for
the postmaster and his assistants are
model Side and rear windows afford
good light, which can only be secured
in detached building and the brick
structure being detached reduces the
liability to destruction by fire to the
minimum. The public and the depart
ment are to be congratulated upon the
convenient location and appointments,
and the comparative immunity from
loss by fire.

the association of their names with this

small means can make investments ac-
cordingly, with absolute guarantee of
safety and large return ut the end Of
a number Of years, and the man of

ready secured number of members
and will organize board in Audubon
at an early day. Acquaintance with
the officers of the association makes it
the best company for Audubon citizens
TO invest in.
The authority of the district bench
was manipulated to the queens taste
last week. Bert Lebeck, a dealer in gen.
eral merchandise, at Gray, was subpoe
naed in the case of the State vs.. l.. ii.
Benson. Mr.. Lebeck did not appear
when the trial was commenced, and
even later in the day he could not be
found. Upon inquiry it was shown
that the merchant man Of that enter
prising burg had been overworked and
was quite sick-this according to the
certificate of his attending physician,

court unless found unable to be remov-
ed. The sheriff called DIR. Brooks
