Lars Hansen, aged about twenty
two years, who has clerked in p. Z.
Petersen's store, at Poplar, and has
ireighted goods from Audubon to
that place, died Tuesday evening, of
kidney trouble, aftera months illness.
The funeral was held Thursday with
services at the Kimbaliton church.
Many of the deceased's relatives re-
side at Shelby, Iowa.
The city council has decided to let
the contract for building the new
city water tank on July 10Th and re-
ceive bids until that date. The tank
is to be 20 feet high, "a feet in
diameter and built upon brick foun-
dation which is to be sixteen feet
high. The new water tank will be
built OIL the city ground near Judge
Green's residence. The city of Au-
dubon is greatly in need of this i'm
provement.
The public library and reading
rooms of Audubon have a reputation
throughout the state which is both
surprising and gratifying. Travel
ing men know and speak of it. The
Midland Monthly" made mention
of it in most flattering terms. 1t is
an institution of which few towns
can boast. Atlantic has no public
library, and many other cities much
older and larger than Audubon have
not SO much as reading room. This
is something of which every citizen
of the county should be proud. 1t is
a place which persons coming from a
distance should not miss seeing and
enjoying. Here one may find de.
lightful resting place with the most
tempting literature on every side.
Everything in the library is at the
disposal of visitors. Books may be
rented at five cents per copy and
taken home. All classes of books
from the standard authors down tc
the latest novel. Books for men,
books for boys, books for the student,
the women, girls and babies. The
shelves are loaded with good things
in reading and the latest periodicals
and dailies are always to be found
upon the tables. Let those who have
not seen make an early visit to the
library rooms. Open every after
noon and evening.

August Oelke is having good sue
cess SO far. Last week he sold Prick
threshing outfit to T. w. Curry at
Anita. This week he sold complete
steam outfit to Asa Johnson and
Frank Pfeiffer at Extra.
When 1 read brother G ilbert Jones'
advertisement in the JOURNAL of last
week, it made me feel real bad, bad;
so bad that / thought of making an
assignment and quit selling McCor-
mick Right Hand Open Elevator
Binders and New No. 4 Mowers, and
then pay my creditors twenty five
cents on the dollar. Now Gilbert
you claim to have the authority to
sell right hand Mccormick Binder
that has been run two days and your
price on this binder is $4,000. I will
give you $4,000 spot cash for any
Mccormick binder that has been run
two days and will allow you $500
for your trouble. You may wire
your man, Mr.. Lehnhardt, of Walnut
to ship at once and as soon as the bin
der is delivered you can have the cash
for the same. Now as to the sluggish
draft and the threshing of the grain
by the Mccormick Right Hand Open
Elevator, this am willing to leave
to the 43 farmers in the vicinity of
Audubon who purchased Mccormick
Right Hand Open Elevators last sea-
son. Let these farmers make their
report, and then Gilbert I would like
for yon to make minority report.
Now as to the Champion machine
they have failed to champion. They
are back number and a thing of the
past. The push feed has pushed it.

has wobbled itself out and the Cham

DEAR Sri Will you be kind
enough to sell the Mccormick Binder

chine that has McCormick's name on

The above letter from William
Lehnhart shows my authority for
trying to sell the Mccormick Right
Hand cut, open end Binder, and as it
is hard to sell them without first ad-
vertislng, take that method of let
ting the people know that have one
for sale. The above notice is suffi-
cient proof of the quality of this ma
chine and the class of work it will do
when compared with the NEW
CHAMPION. This binder has not
got the PUSH FEED nor the CON-
CENTRIC WHEEL, but it has the
usual NECK WEIGHT, SLUGGISH
DRAFT, RIGHT HAND CUT, the
elevator is open, convenient for long
grain to hang out behind, allowing
the heads to dangle on the elevator
chain. This feature is not objection
able where grain is not fully ripened.
In case your grain is ripe and the
chain skaters it out, canvass might
be hung on rear of the machine to
catch the grain that otherwise would
be wasted. This also operates as
weight behind and relieves the
horses necks. You also save some in
threshing account. The first to
apply will get deal if desired.

Mile Laos settlers: ~ 49,. '.,
The secretary Of the interior today
rendered a decisionO If great import
ance to settlers apon. the Mile Laos
Indian reservation, and the result
was brought about through the
efforts of Congressman Morris.
A large number of settlers on the
reservation betw jan. 8. 1891, and
the early part of May, 1892. made
filings aud entries on these lands
under a ruling Of the department
that lands in that reservation were
subject to disposal the same as other
public lands. In May. 1892. this rul-
ing was reversed, and the depart
ment issued tnstrtctions to the local
land Office that no entries should he
made except under the act of Jan. "A.
1850. which required the payment of
3l.25 per acre in addition to the
necessary fees. and also postponed
considerations of all prior things
and entries. 49, zsa2 a#
subsequently, that time, ID 1898, a
Joint resolution .was passed, in con-
xress In reference to- this matter.

One 81 our nerchahts and q young
farmer from the north. IN part Of the

owed him an an account. and the
farmer claimed to have a counter
clofnl as an Offset. A hot argument
ensued. in which 1t IL said that the
merchant used sbusive, language and
called the farmer some vile names.
The merchant threatened to sue
the farmer, and the farmer threat
ened the merchant with arrest for
abusive language, and both left the
saloon for the purpose Of going be-
fore q justice Of the peace to carry

part was the race between the two

mercha ant is over fifty years OF age
while the farmer is q young man,
but the race was close and exciting,
resulting in the defeat Of the mer-
chant. However, the farmers
victory in the foot race proved OF no
advantage to him for neither Of the
city JUS tices was In his office. The
farmer then went to the merchants
store, paid the claim against him,
and afterward caused a warrnat to
