SCHOOL ELECTION.

The school election Monday settled
the control of our public schools for
the coming year, and the patrons of
the school may be assured that the
present excellent management will
continue.
Under the efficient management of
Prof. Hooker, ably seconded by the
members of the board, the Audubon
schools have been placed in a position
second to none in Iowa, and are con-
siderably in advance of the usual grade
for towns the size of ours.
AS a very general rule the people,
and especially the patrons of the school
are well satisfied with present condi
tiOns, and the vote polled Monday
showed that they were willing to con-
tinue in the same way. Two tickets
were i'll the tield-the retiring men,
bers of the board were Messrs. Chas
Van Gorder and K. BilharZ. The men
nominated to succeed them were, on
one ticket Chas. Van Gorder and DR..
A. L. Brooks, on the other, E. f. Moon
and j. NJ. Graham. The first named
ticket was elected, Mr.. Van Gorder
having PIP votes, DR.. Brooks 1899 votes
and Mr.. Moon and Mr.. Graham receiv-
ing 66 and IS votes respectively.
All of the four candidates for posi-
ton on the school board would make
excellent members, and the result of
the election did not hinge OH the quail
Gcations of any candidate. 1t was
simply understood that the successful
candidates were in favor of continuing
the present regime, and on that ground
their election was made.
The desire to keep up the present
efficiency of the schools is very graft
flying. 1t is our most important pub
lie institution, and as long as all goes
well, the higher standard attained, and
the more regular the plan followed,
the better it will be for all concerned.

Look out for the fellows travelling
through the country 'peddling-taking
orders for stoves. These fellows have
been working in the neighborhood sof
Clarinda and Villisca and it is sup
posed they are headed for Mills county.
Now it ought to be unnecessary for us
to warn our citizens from having any
thing to do with men of this stripe and
who represent outside concerns, but
unfortunately it isn't. Almost every
day we read of some one who has been
swindled by some smooth tongued
rascal who sells groceries, clothing,
stoves or some other article that can
and should he purchased of our home
merchants. Our advise is, don't do it.
If you want any of these things, go to
your home merchant and you will buy
just as cheap and besides will have
somebody to fall back on in case you
are dissatisfied Malvern Leader.

called at the Evening Journal office

ative to odors emanating from the

cat o'clock on Friday night we
had an explosion of the gas which
arises in the manufacture of the ferti-
lizer,r he said. 1T set fire to our puri-
fer and blew out the side of our gas
tower, which, OF course, interfered en-
tirely with our burning the gas as we
have done heretofore. It escaped into
the air and thus made the odor which
was noticed. The damage was nomi-
nal, but the Inconvenience occasioned
is great. We have shut down the plant
entirely pending the completion of re-
pairs, which viii require a couple OF

the Jurors and other strong arguments
for a commutation of sentence to life

hope for under the circumstances.
