A gentleman who very recently re-
nounced allegiance to the Fatherland
and purchased vine and fig tree in the
land Of the free aud home of the brave
created an odoriferous sensation here
Friday. While working about his farm

nsighbor the nature of the beast, and
hat noighbor without the ear OF pub
&c sentiment in his heart, told his ur-
sophisticated friend that 1t was OF great
value and would sell readily in town.
The creature was Gagged and brought
to market, but the cage didn't hold the
perfume, and rs the gentleman and his
pray were driven from the butcher shops
with AK and cleaver, there followed u
blue streak OF invective, explosives and
profanity. And all the time the odor
Of the animal peryaded the town and
was waited into the business houses rs
the summer zephyrs play among the
orchard boughs. just as the mayor
was about to order out the home guards,
the animal of loud presence was taken
into an alley aud killed In cold blood.
The pelt was sold and ere another WIN
ter will nestle iprthe neck of beauty as
the trimming OF q long coveted cloak.

Audubon Is nothing IL not metrovol.
ltan, and follows the fashions Of New
York rs the highest ideal. The bomb
throwing which threatened the life Of
Russell Sage signiicd q similar scnsa-
ton In Audubon, and IL came rather
sooner than was expected, though moth
ing Is surprising In these days of rapid
transit. Last Friday a peculiar looking
individual entered the Audubon County
Bank and sauntered up to the cashiers
desk. lie was dressed very ordinarily
and his face was smooth with the ex.
ception Of small, dark mustache.
While awaiting his turn with The teller
he stepped to desk provided for the
convenience of customers on the east
side of the Office and proceeded to write.
Just how he addressed his letter will
never be known, for he folded up the
missive and put it In his inside vest
pocket. Just as he turned from the
| desk there was II terrific crash in that
corner which spread CONSERVATION
| through the room and from which such
dust arose that the corner was obscur-
ed. FS. Watts, the little man with the
large salary, was the only person who
retained presence of mind in the con-
fusion. lie forged TO the front and
covered the corner with brace of re-
volvers, and never lowered an arm un.
til his assistant investigated and found
that the disturbance had been caused
by the falling of picture and the crash
was the glass which had covered it,
when the color came back to their vel
vet cheeks. The peculiar appearing in
dividual stepped up to the desk, had
check for Si.9s cashed aud sauntered
out OH Broadway whore he watched
two dogs fight to a finish.
