CAUGHT BY THE SHERIFF.

Jas. Frost, who was jailed in August
under the charge of stealing corn from
the elevator at Extra, and, who escaped
from Jail by cutting the bars on the
night of September 18th, was caught by
Sheriff Armstrong in n odaway county,
Missouri, Sunday last and was brought
back to Audubon Tuesday evening.
Frost was working on farm and was
greatly surprised when the sheriff in.
formed him that he did not like to
have people leave Hotel Armstrong
without paying their board.
Frost, after his escape went north,
and for a time, worked in Sioux county,
afterward going south to Missouri.
This is the only prisoner that has
ever escaped from Sheriff Armstrong
and it is to our sheriff's great credit
that he succeeded in recapturing his
man,

AUDUBON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Below is the report of the Audubon
public schools for the month ending
Nov. 2, 1894. Owing to the scarlet
fever scare, the report is not so good
as to attendance as the previous month,
but we have raised the per cent of
punctuality to the next to the last
notch. There was only one case of
hardness during the month in the
whole school. There is marked diff
ference between one and one hundred
cases of Hardness in one month. While
the various rooms are rewarded for
being punctual, yet hardness is re-
garded by many pupils as being almost
a crime. The various rooms are vieing
with one another to have the fewest
sases of hardness, an emulation highly
to be commended.

Mr.. EDIToR:-

Mr.. EDIToR:--
In view Of the report which is being
circulated to the effect, that Mrs.
Nettic Thomas presumming upon the
possibilities Of the candidacy Of her
husband for county recorder did, while
IN attendance upon the recent Relief
Corps convention held at this place,
transfer her membership from the Extra
to the Audubon w. II. c., it is but JUS
tlce to the lady to state that such re-
port is wholly false, though, perhaps
not entirely without foundation. Dur
ing the inspection OF the corps, at that
time, it became that part of the ritual
calling for the admission Of members by
transfer, it was also necessary to use
the name of some lady, and with no
thought upon the part OF anyone, of
serious complications arising therefrom,
Mrs. Thomas was requested to allow
her name TO be used, and kindly accom-
modated the committee by so doing.
The matter was entirely without
moment, except the proper exemplifl-
cation OF that part OF the ritualistic
work, and was enacted behind, what
was supposed to be, closed doors.
But since it has mounted the goat
and.ridden out, we think this eXplana-
ton is entirely due, and only regret
that, since such an erroneous report
has become circulated, it did not reach
our ears earlier, that proper vindIca-
ton might sooner have been made Mrs.
Thomas,

TIE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL
APPROVED AND WILL SOON BE
PROMULGATED.
His Holiness Initiates Christ on the Eve
Of His Ascsnsion-All Men
Invited to Unto in
the Church.

ROME, June 20.-The encyclical OF the
pope mas been approved by a committee
of the college of cardinals, and will
shortly be promulgated. The letter
says that initiating Christ, who, while
ON the eve of his ascension prayed that
his disciples be united, he, the pope, at
the end of his life, desires to invite all
men, without distinction of race or coun-
try, TO enter the church.
The encyclieal expresses grief at the
schisms and animosities which have
torn fourishing countries from the
bosom OF the church, and the hope IL
expressed that divine pity and omnipo'
tence will bring them back to the fold.
The pope then addresses the eastern
churches, recalling the fact that their
ancestors recognized the Roman pontiff
admits that they we're we'll disposed to-
ward Catholics, and promises that their
rights and patriarchal privileges will be
maintained in the event of union with
the Roman Catholic church.
His holiness then appeals to the Pro-
testants and points out that they have
no fixed rule OF faith nor authority, and
asserting that many of them even deny
the divinity of Christ, the inspiration of
the scriptures and end by falling into
naturalism and materialism.
The pope makes reference to the fric-
ton between church and state in Italy.
by deploring the revival Of acts Of
oppression which animated the ancient
royalties against the church.
His Holiness condemns the Free
Masons, claiming they are the enemies
OF religious union, aud he espe-
cially denies their so-called audacious
activity in Rome. Further he calls
upon Italy and France to shake off
the despotism of Freemasonry in order
that religious concord may exercise the
evils of war, holding that Europe pre-
sents more the appearance than the
reality of peace, and that education in
husbandry, the arts and commerce are
seriously menaced.
The encyclical concludes with recall
ing the former encyclical ON the
social question, declaring that lib
erty and the people can be
made to hsrmonize with power, and
the rulers, whatever form of govern
ment exists, have the right to command,
and the duty OF obedience proceeds
from God to whom the rulers must ac-
count for their stewardship,

OMAHA, Nsb., June 20.-Between 80
and z o'clock this evening Omaha WAS
visited by one OF the strongest gales ex-
perienced here in years. The wind came
from about two points west Of south,
and blew in gusts for about half an hour,
sttaining at times q velocity of nearly 40
miles an hour. 1t was accompanied by
dense clouds of dust, which obscured
the sky and made it dark as midnight.
Much damage OF q minor nature was
done all over the city. Shade trees and
shrubbery were blown down or broken
off, and in some cases traffic was block
AIDED by trees falling across the street.
At the Jefferson square, near the center
of the city. nearly every tree was blown
down. Part of the roof OF the Woodman
linseed oil works was blown off. The
Murray hotel was partially unroofed.
The glass roof OF the Bee building was
damaged eome, and a portion OF the terra
Gotta ornamental work on the Boyd
opera house was blown of.
At Courtland Beach one man was
ChnRnb ia UOEt On bu6 lkko anu
drowned. His body he's not been recov-
cred, and tits not known whether the
victim is Brsden, the boat tender, or
OBrien, his assistant.
On the Ames avenue street railway
one Of the electric wires was blown into
q tree. and Foreman Parish climbed up
to 6x it. He received q fatal shock from
the wire.
The most serious reports come from
Lincoln. 1t was rumored directly after
the blow in Omaha that the capital city
had been visited by a tornado. Many
reports of buildings being destroyed and
lives lost were rife, and as telegraphic
communication was interrupted for an
hour or so it was impossible to learn the
truth. As soon as the Western Union
could get aAwifenworking the Lincoln
Office reported that the storm there was
similar to the one in Omaha-only q
severe gale, with no serious damage and
no loss of life as far as could be learned.
Passengers who came in on the Bur-
lington trains which passed through the
storm report that the damage In the
country was but slight. From all direc-
tions word comes of high wind and
light rain. 1t seems to have been mere
ly sqnall at the close OF an unusually
hot and sultry day.
