IN CASE OF FIRE.

Fire requires air; therefore on its APP
pearance, every effort should be made
to exclude air Shut all doors and
windows. By this means fire may be
confined to a single room for a suf-
ficient period to enable all the inmates
to be aroused and escape; but if the
doors and windows are thrown open,
the tanning of the wind and draught
will instantly cause the flames to in
crease with extraordinary rapidity, 1t
must not be forgotten that the most
precious moments are at commence
ment of fire, and not a single second
of time should be lost in tackling it..
In a room, table-cloth can be so used
as to smother a large sheet of flame,
and cushion may serve to beat it out;
a coat or anything similar may be used
with an equally successful result. The
great point is presence of mind-calm-
ness in danger action guided by rea-
son and thought In all large houses,
buckets of water should be placed on
every landing, little salt being put in
the water Always endeavor to attack
the bed of fire; you cannot eX-
tinguish a fire, shut the window and
be sure to shut the door when making
good your retreat Awet silk handker
chief tied over the eyes and nose will
make breathing possible in the midst
of much smoke, and blanket wetted
and wrapped around the body viii en-
able a person to pass through a sheet
Of flame in comparative safety.

THE ADVERTISER

The advertiser in a small way often
stands aghast at the large sums Of
money which certain masters Of the
art are known to spend annually in
bringing their goods before the public.
Having had experience only within his
own narrow circle he asks in bewild-
cred way how it is possible that they
can make 1t pay. He takes out pencil
and paper and begins to figure it out.
Supposing their profits on single sale
to be so much, he, determines how
many sales they would have TO make
to cover their entire advertising ex-
penditure. About the time he reaches
this result he gives up in despair and
falls back upon the old but safe CON
clusion that these princes Of advertis-
ing and conducting their business for
the purpose of making money, and that
if they did not find their advertising
paid they would not continue il.
A philologist estimates that the coin
age Of new words goes on at the rate Of
100 annually in the English language.

Fllteen Nails in Her Foot

Miss Addie Handwerk, aged 10, the
daughter of Horace Handwerk, a we'll
known farmer of Chester county, had
fifteen nails taken from the heel of her
left foot one day recently. Several
were over half an inch long, and how
they got in her foot is a mystery that
neither she nor her parents can solve.
The first evidence she had of foreign
substance being there was few days
before when she made a misstep. A
little red mark was noticed on her
heel and she had intense pain. Her
mother put poultice on the sore part,
and in short time the nail was no
ticed working its way out. With a
pair of tweezers it was removed. Dr.
Christman was called in and as other
nails of a smaller size appeared they
were removed, until the number was
fifteen, most of them very small. The
young lady is now able to walk, and
only evidence Of the nails having been
in her foot are little marks where they
were taken out.

A curious phenomenon has been re-
ported from the village of Kirnuiarwi,
near Paja, Lapland During the Win
ter the earth became spontaneously
heated in many places to such degree
that the snow and ice melted at those
places, and it was impossible to touch
those spots without burning ones
hand. The cause of this phenomenon
is not yet explained.

a NOTE FROM THE GRAVE.

A New York chemist is now at work
rehabilitating a note which has been
buried in a Connecticut cemetary for
seventeen years. In 1S73a New Haven
woman died, holding a note for S225.OO
against well-lnown man. The man
asserted that the note was paid and
the relatives were unable to find the
document. Recently the dead woman's
son remembered that when little boy
he had observed piece of paper sewed
up inside of his mothers dress. That
was shortly before the woman's death.
AS the incident required to him he be-
came impressed with the idea that the
paper was the missing note. He has
had the grave opened and his supposi-
ton has proved correct The writing
on the note was hardly legible, and the
chemist is now restoring it in good
condition. The names of the people
are now withheld, but the facts are
authentic.

The Little Ghost.

The Poplars" is the name Of the old
Revolutionary homestead. 1t is a great,
square, white, stone house built i'll the
center Of a thousand acres. The master
of it WAS childless. His little boy had
died a week before, and he had gone
away. Every night d little figure in
white with a light was seen fitting
from window to window in the old
library. When the servants, led by the
gardener, assembled at the library door
the light and the figure would Gisap-
pear noiselesoly and simultaneously. The
light and figure were never seen in any
other room Of the Old man1jon, AMI now
it WAX remembered that the dead heir
had spent more time III the library than
in any other room in the house.
When the master returned, tOWuvl
the end Of autumn, he was Informed Q"
it all. He hid behind the tapestry night

warded by seeing q little white figure

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecler in describing

make the bed on one side first, then 90
out on the ~veranda, raise Il window,
reach in and make the bed on the other
side. Not such very troublesome work
after all, when Il gets accustomed to
it. The little kitchen, partitioned off
from the veranda, was just large enough
to allow a passage between the cooking
table and the stove into the dining room
without burning my dress. and my
table was only divided from Mr. Beech
er's study table by the partition.

r.. ;Ii.treatnlent of Horses.

Da-Jcless It was the daily spectacle
Of u. aJU,e 81 noises which stimulated
Henry Bergb 70 the great service which
has justly made his name renowned.
But the guilt Of the abuse is not confined
to draymen and teamsters. The igHo-
rance and Indifference of wealth and
fashion to the treatment of horses are
quite as conspicuous, and for obvious
reasons much more objectionable.
The horse, which is one Of the most
sensitive and delicate Of animals, Is
greatly to be commiserated as he APP
pears in the fashionable drive Of Central
park. He is treated as a part Of the
show of the parade, and he is a. the
mercy Of the owner, who buys horses
lot because he likes them or knows
anything about them, bat because he
must have an eQuipage, and he aban-
dons them to the care Of grOOms and
~coachmen. whose sole aim is TO produce
a more "owell' effect than their rivals.
For a ''stylish' effect the horse Is robbed

Human knowledge and skill directed
to al auxiliary animal like the horse
should aim 10 develop his natural apti-
tudes. He should be treated as a hui
name and skillful gardener treats Il tree
in u modern landscape gardening, not
as a tree was maltreated by the false
and morbid taste of two centuries ago.
Such remarks do not apply to the low
ers Of horses who care for them with
sympathy and intelligence, who co1npre-
bend their practical helplessness and
acknowledge their faithful service. Such
lovers permit in their stables no fash
ions invented byignOrant and innuman
grooms to produce "stylish action to
impress similar ignorance and folly

fore a fire boiling his meat he was star

Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1891-07-16

THERE has been a studied effort to
create prejudice against prohibition by
widely publishing the details of the
murder of sWishart, in Des Moines by
Frank Pierce, because Pierce was con-
spiciOus at one time in the enforce
ment of the prOhibitOry law. The
murder was malicious and unprovoked
Pierce is naturally desperate villain,
and iynching would not be too severe
punishment, but the people of Des
Moines cannot afford to see him pun
ished other than through the courts.
Pierce was an outlaw and should not
have been empowered with the author
ity of the state for the purposes of en-
forcement, because he miSapplied that
power. But all this does not condemn
the law or its enforcement. Under the
mantle of authority grave crimes are
committed and it was true in this case.
Pierce was overriding a municipal law
when he killed Wishart and yet we
hear no condemnation of that regula.
tion from these same critics, nor would
it be reasonable. Let better sense and
better Judgment prevail in considering
the murderoaS assault of a villain ant
an outlaw, and out Of respect for so
ciety not attempt to lay the crime a
the door or the most law abiding elias
in the state. This criticism happil,
applies to but few who have attempte,
to make prohibition sponsor TO
Pierce and his crimes.
Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1891-07-16
THE CANDDATE PRESENTED BY THE REPUBLICANS OF THE
SEVENTEENTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT.
A RESIDENT OF AUDUBON COUNTY TwENTY.sIx
YEARs.-ALwAYs A REPUBLICAN AND LAWYER
ABILITY.-BIoGRAPHCAI.

He is now practicing lawyer and re-
sides at Extra and Audubon. In 1888
he was prominent candidate before
the republican judicial convention for
district judge. He has been a life long
republican and stands squarely on the
republican platform.
Mr.. Andrews record during his resi-
dence in Audubon county has been that
of an honorable citizen, true republi-
can and an able lawyer. In the works
of law he is we'll read and he has a com
prehension of law which has made him
successful in practice in the Office and
at the bar. lie is deep thinker, and a
good reasoner, of equitable judgment
and well balanced withal.
In G. A. r. circles Mr.. Andrews is a
prominent member, and to which he is
very much devoted. At the last De
partment Encampment he was chosen
as a delegate to the National Encamp-
ment, which meets in August at Detroit.
In puruance of his law business he has
given much time to the procurement
of pensions for veterans and has been
very successful, securing reward to
more than fifty of his old comrades
in arms He is also honorably identi-
fled with several civic societies, includ-
ing the MasOns, Knights of Pythias,
Iowa Legion of Honor and Modern
Woodmen.
For some ten years Mr.. Andrews has
conducted business in Audubon, main
tanning his family in an ideal home in
the suburbs of Extra, whittier he goes
| after week of business toll, and where
he spends much of his time during the
summer months.
In the unanimous selection of
Mr.. Andrews the convention acted
wisely and in the best party interests,
1t being conceded that the nomination
should come to Audubon county, our
convention gave him its unanimous
support and the district convention
acted tremendously in approving that
selection. 1t was an suspicious nom
nation made in full harmony and with
confidence in the man and in party sue,
cess in November. An old and respect,
ed citizenof Audubon county, a man of
| experience in business affairs, man of
professional ability and integrity, a
veteran who fought for his country
and a republican who stands squarely
and unequivacally upon the Cedar Rap,
ids platform, he will receive the full
vote of his party and be elected in
November.
