To the Public.

Having heard of reports circulated in
the neighborhood which are calculated
to injure the reputation OF me and my
wife l wish to deny them and to inform
my slanderers that they must stop their
work or the law will be applied against
them. 1t is reported than when my
mother visited me two years ago that
and my wife misused her and sent her
home. This is absolutely untrue. She
was taken very sick while visiting at
my house. 1 got doctor from town to
visit her and treat her and paid him my
self We took good care OF her and
when she had recovered enough / paid
Ler railroad fare, gave her some other
money and sent her to her home in War.
rem county. That we mistreated her or
that my wife mistreated her or abused
her is absolutely untrue, and anyone cir
culating such a report is doing so to in
lure us. That have had trouble in the
past with my parents is true, but my
wife is not responsible for it in any way.
1 am responsible for it myself. Now IL
these parties among my neighbors
do not stop this slandering OF
me and my wife / repeat the
law will be applied against them in
it's full force. Il. j. FREDRRIoKs.

Weather Report.

Dies MONIES, Iowa, June 6, 1899.
The past week has been warmer than
usual, the average daily temperature
ranging from A to 8 degrees above the
normal. The humidity of the air was
excessive and frequent showers added to
the large surplus of rainfall of the pre-
ceding two weeks. FL.
The northern section received some of
the heaviest showers, which flooded the
lowlands and damaged cornfelds on tn Q
slopes in numerous localities In
all parts of the state the amount of
moisture is excessive. The conditions
have not been favorable for small grain
crops, which are likely to become too
rank on all rich and moist lands.
Some progress has been made in
planting corn in the southern section
where it had been previously delayed;
but there is considerable area yet to
be planted il weather conditions in the
near future are more favorable. The
acreage in that section is Likely to be
materially reduced.
Much replanting has been done in all
sections; and fair start has been made
in cultivation wherever the soil was dry
enough.
The weather has been favorable for
new seeding OF timothy and clover, and
for potatoes and garden truck generally

The County Convention.

A call for the republican county con-
vention appears on the first page of this
paper. Some objection has been raised
because OF the date fixed for the conven-
ton. the claim being made that July 10
will likely be in harvest. Concerning
the selection Of that date we desire to
say the committee was governed by
what it thought were the interests Of
the party and the convenience OF all
concerned. Full notice was given to all
the committee, which consists OF one
member from each township. and good
attendance was had at the committee
meeting about a month ago, hearly all
the townships being represented. This
committee had nothing to do with fixing
the date Of the state convention on Aug.
2. Our committee was confronted with
several problems. One was, had we bet
ter have one or two county conventions?
1t was generally thought that we had
better have but one convention. OF
course there are arguments on both
sides of that question, but it is generally
thought that it is better to have but one
convention as it is then 80 important as
to obtain good attendance. Having
thus decided. then it was thought best
to have it as late as possible 80 as not to
have the candidates nominated too long
before election, but still the convention
had to be before the state convention.
BY fixing the date two weeks before the
state convention it was thought we
would get in before wheat and oats har-
vest. Of course this is uncertain, de
pending on the season. One thing is
sure, no time in July can be selected but
n busy time. The committee, nearly nil
OF whom are farmers, selected the date
that it thought most suitable and acted
only with the motives stated above.

Kenneth Davidson, the ten year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Arch Davidson who
reside two and half miles west OF
Audubon, died last Thursday morning
June LIST, after short illness. He was
buried on Friday, from the Baptist
church, in the new cemetery. The SER
vices were conducted by his pastor, Rev.
j. +. Hinkhouse, of the Presbyterian
church. Kenneth was a bright boy
possessing unusual talent and gave
promise of bright career. He was OF Il
deep religious turn OF mind trusting
lovingly in his Savior. He was con-
slant attendant at church, not having
missed Sabbath service for more than
year. 1t was his purpose to unite
with the church ut the coming Child
ren's Day service. The parents in their
sad atfliction have the sympathy OF all
who knew their departed boy. -
Monday and. Tuesday case was tried
before Judge Green which has for
the present shut up the saloon Of We'll
and Il Son. The evidence showed the
defendant has had back door to his
place of business which is contrary to
law, that he has not strictly followed
that requirement that foIbids the sale
OF liquors to minors and those in the
habit of becoming intoxicated, and, most
important that he had not paid his
mulct tax to the county in advance.
The defendant contended that the door
IN the rear was not used by their pat
rons, that they had endeavored to follow
the law in all particulars, and that they
had acted on the advice of what they
thought was good legal authority, attor-
neys of Carroll, in not paying in ad
vance and in having back door il not
used by patrons. But the court held
that they having violated the law as
above mentioned that the suppostion
would be that they would violate it
again if allowed to run. and tempo
rary injunction to remain there ut the
discretion of the court was placed Oh
Weiland & Son restraining them from
selling in their place of business, but it
did not affect their ownership OF their
stock and fixtures. Graham prosecuted
and Mosier defended. The defendants
at once closed their place of business.
They have not yet determined what
they will do. They think they may sell
to other parties.
