At literary held in the eastern part
of the township last Friday night Nate
Carper won distinction by his gallant
advocacy Of the Affirmative of the qucs.
ton: Resolved, That women should
be given the ballot. lie argued so ably
and eloquently that his opponents were
virtually suppressed. Nate was the
recipient of numerous boquets and now
lives In the gratitude and admiration
of the women of that district.
Il, Moore Carpenter went to Hamp-
ton last week to confer with democrat.
ic leaders about the establishment Of a
democratic newspaper They had of.
fered bonus OF $500 In cash and sub
scription list of 500, which IL was his
purpose to accept, but Mr., Jones from
sheldon had closed the bargain with
them the day before Mr.. Carpenters
arrival. 1t was q splendid offer, such
as is seldom made In these latter days
of supernumerary newspapers.
A few days ago the citizens Of Audi.
bon were shocked and insulted by the
beastly and malicious demonstrations
of a man whose brain was crazed and
whose humanity was paralyzed by
drink. Going home on the evening of
Sunday of dissipation he proceeded
to whip his wife and daughter bud
ding into womanhood, intlicting blows
that were heard for blocks mingllng
with the pleas and cries of his helpless
Victims. II is little wonder that those
who went to the rescue and causel the
brute TO deslst impulsiyely advocate
the revival OF the public whipping post,

ing the rider and rolling over him, in
consequence of which he is very badly
disigured in facial features, besides sus.
tanning an injury to an ankle which
necessitates the use of crutches. Ed Is
able to do the book work of tho Extra
bank by the aid of Cashier Gray, and
by the liberal application of heating

thize with the gentlemen In his physi,
cal Affections, and can understand the
heart sorrow which ebbed out into his
mi ,sives of regret canceling social en-.
gagements,
In all cases where an electric light
plant is put In by private corporation
the town is asked TO grant franchise
for twenty-five years, otherwise the
companys plant would be in continual
jeopardy Of the whims of succeeding
councils. That being the case Audi.
bon would have to pay about $1,000
per year for lighting her streets,
amounting in the aggregate to $4,000,
direct outlay without hope OF return.
In the proposed plan by which the town
merely backs the enterprise to insure
its establishment, the lights of the city
will be secured virtually free. AS be-
tween the question of private or city
ownership In Audubon there is no com.
parison. All reason and argument is
in favor of the latter.
A man from this town was on the
Rock Island train the other day so full
of the ardent that his hair was raised
and left him veritable bald knobber.
lie rendered the conductor five dollar
bill for fare, but when that dignitary
said that le could not change 1t, the
passenger changed 1t by tearing 1t into
strips. At Atlantic he destroyed the
features of hundred dollar bill in the
same manner, all as q free exhibition
to amazed spectators. AS he toiled Ia
ter by the midnight glim to patch up
the fragments his self reproaches can
bo better imagined than described.
Falling into the hands of hilarious
crowd on the main line he was Invested
of hair, which by the way is model of
artifce, and was compelled to put up
$3.50 to the boys for treats in order to
reclaim it.
