In rlemorianl.

The following resolutions have been
adopted by the Epworth League of the
Methodist church of Audubon.
Henceforth we will fail to meet with
the kind and genial brother, Ruben Har-
per, who for SO long met with and en-
joyed to the fullest extent the exercises
of tho League, who, when now called,
makes no answer, and againrt whose
name is marked, Called to answer to
the great Master as to his stewardship"
May we all like him perform our Chris
tian duties, so that when called from
this life to the life everlasting we may
receive the plaudit, "Well and faithful
done" His motto through life was
IL live for those who love me,
For those who know me true;
For the heVaVen that shines above me
And waits my coming too.
For the right that needs assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
For the good that can do"
Although poor health had enfeebled
his physical frame, he was faithful and
jealous ana when possible, he attended
the meetings of the League, and his at
tachment for the society and its princi-
Piles seemed to increase instead of dimin,
ish. We feel assured that he died full
of faith and that it is we'll with our
Brother.
RESOLVED, BY the Epworth League
of Audubon, that we feel an irreparable
loss in the death of our Brother, Ruben
Harper, and extend to his father and
mother our deep-felt sympathy in their
loss.
RESOLVED, That copy of the above
be sent to the family, published in the
city papers and placed on the minutes
of the Epworth Leagne.

From the returns for the Incorporated
town of Audubon, made by assessor G..
w. Ellis we find the actual value of real
estate to be S6l0,O80 and of personal
property S669,72O The total taxable
value is about 100000. This is $4,000
in excess of what it was two years ago
and will enable the town council to make
the next assessment at least ten mills
lighter than the last. The last WAS 55
mills.
Ten Thousand dollars challenge (the
money to be donated to the new Presby-
terian church) that the world cannot
produce his equal in the science of
drumming, rudimental practice or fancy
or descriptive drumming. The Drum
mer Boy of Shiloh is the only one who
has been able to fully develop the re-
sources and possibilities of the common
snare drum as a solo instrument. In
his hands it occupies the same position
in the concert room as does Camilla
Urso's violin or Jules Levy's cOrnet. and
has achieved as great popularity.
The street fakir who was here last
week sold lots of goods of great many
kinds from books to hardware, dry
goods and watches and jeweIry. The
most of what he sold was cheap stuff and
the prices obtained were all it was worth.
Under the excitement Of the moment
and in crowd person often thinks he
is getting bargain when he is not.
Many things were sold at even more
than the retail price of similar goods at
our stores. We think our town author
tiles ought to put the license so high
that such accomplished fellows could not
afford to come IN with their wares. The
business men who live here, who pay
taxes here, ought to be given all the adj
vantages possible over such travelling
sharks. Home competition keeps the
prices down so as to prevent our home
merchants from imposing on us.
