A great many of our people are in

tic after the evening performance so
all can return home. 4 special rate of
one dollar is given for the round trip.
Chas. Van Gorder returned from
lake Okobojo, Tuesday evening, where
he has spent some time very pleasant
ly fishing, rowing, sailing and enjoy
ing other pleasures which that popu-
lar summer resort affords to the many
people who go there for rest and rec
reation.
Several of our people attended the
Gollmar Bros. circus and menagirie at
Extra, Monday. All say that they
had a good time and that the show
was one of the best twenty-five cent
shows they ever ATTENDED and the
crowd was one of the largest they had
seen at a circus for wears.
Mrs. Laura Hurd and. Miss Ella,
left for Wymore, Nebraska, Tuesday,
where they will pass several days.
Before returning they will go to Kan
sas City. They will be absent for
a couple of weeks, and during their
absence Miss Lucy Frederickson will
fill Mrs. Hurd's place as librar ian at
the library rooms.
Miss Caledonia Young babe her
friends bood-pye Tuesday evening and
left for Grand Junction. She has
made many true and warm friends
here and all regret her departure. She
is young woman full of womanly
grace and refinement and her many
admiring friends hope and trust that a
bright future awaits her.
The fire alarm called the fire boys
out Monday night. A small fire start
ed at Alec. Townsend's but was
put out before the fire department
reached the scene. No damages were
sustained to speak of. The smoke
cleared away and the boys rolled up
their hose and returned all their APP
paratus to the city hall, glad that it
was no worse than it was.
[ have secured the agency for Audu-
bon county for the Duplex Automatic
kisleman wire fence machine with
which over 100 different styles of fence
can be woven. Any one wanting to
buy machine so they can build their
own fence, or want fence built, address
me at Audubon, Iowa. Full particu-
lars and prompt attention will be
given. J. B. TRUNNEL,
The bright and winsome faces of the
earnest and sincere normal girls are
seen on our streets no more. They
are gone but not forgotten The young
men of the town dream of other days
and long TO be greeted by the sweet
smiles of these pretty girls-but, alas!
other boys enjoy the sparkle of their
eye and are cheered by their merry
laugh. Boys, your attention, your
ice cream and your words of praise
were duly appreciated, but the boy
friend at home was never forgotten
and these normal girls are now their
favorites while they follow their noble
calling as teachers in the rural schools.
A big sign adorns the windows of j.
II. Hates clothing store which reads
as follows:
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1899-08-24
GOING TO LEAVE AUDUBON,
SEPTEMBER 18th.

The entire stock must be sold. Mr..
Kate has made all arrangements to
close out his business here after 81
years of successive business and go to
Wayne, Nebraska. During all these
years he has enjoyed large trade, but
leaves to reap the fruits Of a new and
larger field. His ad appears in another
column which shows that there will
be a grand closing sale.
Pet Hart, Virgo Wilson, Mae Nell
vane and AlfonZo SwartZ, part of
the clerical force at Russell's dry
goods emporium, picniced in the big
woods near Extra Sunday. The crys-
tai waters in the streams that wend
their way among shady retreats was
so tempting that the girls could not
refrain from dabbling in them and
when our reporter saw them at late
hour in the dusky twilight, their APP
pearance gave strong evidence of hav-
ing used their ordinary wearing APP
parrel for bathing suits. They all said
it was one of the finest times they
ever had and that they would go
again.
AS you pass through j. F. Russell's
store you will observe large stocks of
new goods for fall and winter wear.
If j. f. does not quit buying and come
home there will have to be an addi-
ton built to the store in order to hold
the goods that are daily arriving.
Those who make their purchases first
will find large stock from which to
make their selections Too many peo-
pie wait until they see what their
neighbors buy, so they may see what
is to be worn, before making their pur-
chases. A reliable store has nothing
in stock that is not up-to-date and if it
is something new that strikes your
fancy, you need not fear to buy
because it will be worn. Women will
be more winsome this fall than ever
before owing to the tasty and hobby
styles that will be worn.
The Audubon County Fair is near at
hand and the officers that have been
elected by the people have been and
are working hard to make it success
beyond all former years. What the
results of their efforts will be cannot
be ascertained until the work is over
and we see what the people themselves
have done to cooperate with them.
The exhibit depends upon the people
and while few cannot make the ex-
hibit very large, but if every one who
would contribute few articles that
could be added to the various depart
ments, an exhibition never before
equalled would be the result. With
the bountiful crop and rich harvest all
kinds of farm products we expect to
see more than double the usual
amount, while the stock of various
kinds should be exceedingly large in
numbers and superior in quality ow-
ing to the increased numbers being
raised and the superior class being
bred. Times are good, money is
plenty, people are happy and pros
porous and all should unite in making
a grand exhibition and that demon
stration that would be in keeping
with and credit to our progress,
growth and advancement. Remem-
Der the dates September 5, 6 and Z.
Be present and do something that will
help the officers to complete the work
and carry into operation the plans
which they have SO extensively made
and help make the fair credit to our
county.

SAMPSON sTEps ASIDE.

While the New York Sun is vociferously
shouting for a reopening of the Schley-
Sampson controversy the latter appears
to take an altogether different and more
magnanimous view of existing condi-
lions. Yesterday Secretary Long received
a communication from Sampson, in which
he stated that it had been represented to
him that a long list of naval officers, rec
commended by the department for promo
ton, had been turned down by the senate
on account of the fact that his own name
was one of those. recommended. In view
of this fact Sampson requested the secre-
tary of the navy to reappoint these Off
GERS and omit his own name from the
LIST.
Such request coming at this time from
Sampson is certainly as unexpected as it
is significant. Still it is no more than
any fair minded man would do under the
circumstances. Having discovered that
his personality is bar to promotion of
other and more deserving officers. it is no
more than right that he should efface
himself as much as possible that justice
may reward his fellows. The people of
this country have wisely decided that
Rear Admiral Sampson has been unjustly
pampered and coddled by the navy de-
partment, and that Rear Admiral Schley
has been prosecuted and abused. This
opinion was crystallized and made eff
fective n the senate when Schley was ad-
vanced two numbers ahead of Sampson.
1t is now strikingly apparent that the
senate considers Sampson in the light of
a Jonah. and SIMPSONS present offer to
throw himself overheard is the very least
proves, too. that it Is not absolutely nee
essary for a house to fall on Sampson
to enable him to realize that with the
people, and, also, with the United States
senate, he is persona non grata.
In voluntarily stepping aside in order
that worthier men may reap deserved
