Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1897-10-07


Mrs. VIM Burtch who has been i'll
for the past two months has recovered
SO as to be able to be around again.
Nels p. Hoegh should and doubtless
will be reelected supervisor. His ex-
perience and integrity qualify him for
excellent service to the county.
The Presbyterian people are cleaning
up their parsonage and repaparing it
preparatory to the coming of their new
pastor.
There is no doubt but that Tom Davis
is making splendid canvass for sheriff.
He makes good impression among the
people in his honest, straightforward
manner.
At the teachers meeting to be held at
Audubon on Saturday, Oct. 16, the sub
ject of the revised laws as they relate to
school matters will be discussed. 1t will
coubtless be an interesting and instruct
i've meeting.
Miss Myrtle A. Cole who has been in
southern California with her sister
has recently accepted position in the
Children's Home at Kalispell, Montana,
her father, J. w. B. Cole, hearing from
her at the latter place few days age.
1t was reported in the Des Moines pa.
pers that ex-Sheriff Mallory, of this
county, who has lived in that city re-
Gently, died one day last week The re-
port now is, however, that the report is
a mistake, and that Mr.. Mallory is quite
we'll.
The Presbyterian congregation here
have taken measures to secure the SER
vices of Rev. j. F. Hinkhouse, of Lenox.
providing the Presbytery acquiesces.
He preached here for them week ago
Sunday. He will likely come in few
weeks.
The advertising columns of the Audu
bon papers from week to week fairly
represent the enterprise of the business
men OF this city. He who is good buy
er and who can please his customers
with what they need and want at the
right prices, is nearly always a good ad-
vertiser.
We understand the teachers meeting
held down at Brayton last week was a
very successful one. Superintendent
Repass has the faculty of helping along
these teachers meetings IN the different
parts Of the county 80 as to make them
profitable to both teachers and patrons.
The papers yesterday tell OF the injury
OF w. H. Phelps, brother of B. s.
Phelps of this city, in the falling of a
large hotel building which was under
construction at Charlevoix, Mich. Two
men were killed and ten injured by the
collapse which was caused by the build
ing not being properly braced.
Will l.. Greenleaf, an lmpersanator
of reputation and ability will give an en-
tertainment in The Presbyterian church
Thursday evening of next week under
the auspices OF the Columbian Club of
this city for the benefit of the library.
Mr.. Greenleaf comes with excellent rec
concentrations and will give very
amusing and instructive entertainment
reciting from famous authors.
Capt. Chas. w. Van Gorder this week
attended the only reunion his regiment,
the 39th Iowa, ever had. 1t was held at
Redtield on the thirty-third anniversary
OF the battle of Altoona where their COM
mander, Col. Redfeld, lost his life. The
reunion was well attended and it is need
less to say that the meeting of these
comrades who are now fast becoming old
men was very pleasant to them.
Since the fair A. Caldwell has been
employed as night-watch here in town.
The council being in doubt as to whether
they have authority to pay night
watch, decided at the meeting Monday
night to no longer employ him. We I'M
derstand most of the business men are
favorable to having a night-watch and
that subscription paper will be passed
today to provide funds to pay one.
There is no doubt butt is a good pre-
caution to have night-watch especially
during this very dry weather,
Monday night the republicans of Mel
vile township held caucus and nomi-
mated township ticket which will be
found in our Melville letter IN another
column. John II. Mosier was present
and delivered one of his good speeches,
logical and entertaining. s. NJ. Gard
ner, republican candidate for the legis-
lature, then addressed the house speak
ing quite ably. The republicans Of Au.
dubon county have made no mistake in
nominating MIR, Gardner. He fairly
