Different observers have commented
upon the increase Of women riders in
England who ride on the of side Of

been taken as a model in horsewoman-

will certainly have its influence. 1t is
said that already the sight is sufficient

William Gull as illustrating the doc

ALI else that the patient shall have con
fidence in his medical adviser.
Being called in haste to n patient un-
der the care Of very young practition-
er, Sir William found that brandy and
water was being given at intervals, with
certain other treatment The great ply
sician carefully examined the patient
and said, "Give him another spoonful
Of brandy"
He then retired to n private room
with the young doctor in charge
1T is n case Of 50 and so, " he said as
soon as the door was closed. "You
shouldn't have given brandy ON any &C

"But, said the Junior practitioner
in amazement Il thought, Sir Will

our claim for giving value re-
ceived with that yigor which the

though we have had a good cir

Tho Only Method by which All Kinds OF

One of tine greatest difficulties met
with in ventilating public buildings AID

how much air shall be admitted or how
often the entire cubic contents of an
apartment shall be renewed. This from
the fact that in the quantity of mir IT.
quired individuals vary greatly. To
some the whole ocean of the atmosphere
is inadequate, and they do Lot feel oven
comfortable unless a Niagara Of air IL
pouring over them.
This is the fresh air fiend male or fe-

swallows dust and cinders (and makes
others do the same) for the sake Of salts.

the other to his views of what is desira-

The only compromise that we can
think Of that would answer and make

to provide ali automatic system which

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1895-04-25
THE AUDUBON REPUBLICAN.
BY J. e. GRIFFITH.
COUNTY CANDIDATES.

The bounteous rains and the warm
sunshine is bringing out political opin-
ions and political possibilities all over
the county, and both republicans and
democrats are talking probable candi-
dates for county office.
THE REPUBLICAN does not know
any thing about what the conventions
will do, we only repeat what we have
heard and give the same as an item OF
news.
Hon. M. d. Reed, of Extra, who rep
resented the county ably and well IN
the last legislature is about to leave the
county, and for his position we have
heard republicans mention Is. f. Slmp-
son of Extra. Several men have been
mentioned for the office Of sheriff,
Horace Bartlett, of BraytOn; S. &.
Handles, of Cameron; E. F. Moon, OF
Audubon, and r. 7. Gilbert, of Viola.
For treasurer L. ID. Phelps will I'M
doubtedly receive unanimous re-
nomination by the republicans, for he
has faithfully and efficiently discharged
the duties of his office, and given uni
yersal satisfaction to all with whom he
has had official dealings.
For superintendent of schools, ID. L.
Repass, while not an active candidate,
is, we understand willing to serve an
other term. Mr.. Repass during his
long term as superintendent has made
a good officer, and, up to date, we have
heard of no other candidate for that
place.
Candidates for supervisor are unusu-
ally quiet, but the name of Thos.
"Oliver, of Melville township, has been
mentioned as good man for the place.
Among the democrats are several
gentlemen who are waiting for
political lightning to strike.
O.P. Tyler, the Hamlin statesman, is
said to be an avoWed candidate for
legislative honors and we have heard
the name of esquire" Carpenter sug-
gested.
Sheriff Armstrong is said to be will
ing to try the perils of fourth can
vass.
For treasure we have heard
of d. E. stranger of Extra, and D. E.
Soar of Audubon, as possible candi-
dates.
For superintendent the names of
Prof. G. w. Johnson of Extra, and
Robt. Griffin of Viola, have been MUIR
mered to the breezes.
Supervisor d. w. Matthias has
had but one term on the board and
political courtesy would demand his
denomination by the democracy.
