A number of our boys who are
fond of clean out of door sport, have
damned up the big ditch in the pas
ture south of Bray ton and the water
has been backed clear up to the big

men held very interesting session at

Hayde jenkins was in very criti-

week, but he made noble rally and
it now looks as if he would pull safe
ly out Of one of the worst cases of
typhoid fever on record. OF course
he has had the best of medical aid and
care, but those who are near and dear
to him claim that he perhaps owes
his life to the untirlng and skillful
efforts of the trained nurse who has
been his attendant through lis battle
with the raging fever. Miss Kelsey
is pronounced as one of the ablest of
her profession in Iowa and is certain
ly worthy of the praise bestowed up
on her.
Mrs. Laura Chambers, was here
the latter part of last week and the
first Of this, visiting with her broth
er, w. II. Pearson and her father, l..
d. Pearson, who has been quite sick
for some time but is now improving.
Her husband, VIM. Chambers, was
station agent at Extra many years
ago and will be we'll remembered by
all old settlers. Their son Harry who
started out as an office boy for the
Z. S. express company at Des Moines
several years ago, has been promoted
and is now running out Of Chicago
as express messenger on the Rock
Island. He is not yet IS years old
and his early success will be pleasing
news to their many relatives and
friends.

Chris Nelson was at Audubon on
Tuesday bringing home very fine
new r-hole Marseiles corn shelter
which Esbeck Bros, had sold to the
Christensen boys-Nels and Peter.
They are old hands at the business
and If the weather stays decent they
will do lots of work this winter.
Chris, Nelson, the auctioneer, has
rented the Lars Mortensen house at
klmballtoD, which has been vacant
for some time. We don't exactly
understand what young, unmarried
man wants with that large house
but of course it's no bushes of ours.
SO we'll just watch Developments and
say nothing.
The Elkhorn creamery company
held business meeting at the Elk
horn creamery Tuesday afternoon.
1t seems that the creamery has not
been receiving sufficient amount of
milk to hardly warrant its operation
and portion of the patrons were in
favor of changing the location to
site about four miles southwest of its
present location. The meeting was
held for the purpose of deciding this
question but we have not yet learned
what the outcome of the controversy
eliminated in. The same difference
arose in this company about a year
ago but was satisfactorily adjusted as
we trust this will be.
The West Hamlin creamery COM
pany have been making some very
useful improvements recently. Last
week they received brand new No.
5, Disbrow churn, purchased of the
Creamery Package Company and is
giving good satisfaction. Saturday
Ira Dayton, who is D. E. Strangers
timer of Extra, came out and put up
new smoke stack on the summit Of
the creamery. John Nelson, the
buttermaker, informs us that his as
sistant Mr.. Christian Nelson, will
leave Immediately after New Years.
for his home in Denmark. A good
dependable man can get a job as
helper at the creamery after January
1st.

The following essay was written by
little girl who attends the Oakfeld
school and might furnish food for
the thought OF persons much further
advanced in years. The journal prints
it by request: 81 have always sup
posed there existed law against tn e
cruelty to dumb animals, but it does
not seem as if there was such, or at
least it does not seem to be carried in
to execution by the cruelty carried
on day by day with the poor western
horses that are brought here to be
trained for our use. Lasooed around
the neck by big long rope they are
snubbed up to- tree or post and driv-
ell and beaten and punctured with
steel, intlicting ugly wounds, many
of which have been frightened into

plunging and rearing and some of
them throwing themselves and break
ing their necks. Why doesn't some
one look into this matter and thereby
have such cruelty to dumb animals
that can not speak their suffering
stopped? Our country is supposed
to have men who have sympathy
enough for horses, to protect them
from those who are not qualified to
handle them. There are means of
kindness that may be used to tame
these horses instead of cruel treat
ment. Don't whip your horse with
all your might and run him as hard
as he can go up hill, and hold his
head in your face so he can not see in
front of him. That is not necessary
and can be stopped; which would only
be just in the sight of the law Of the
United States"
