WILL ERECT ALARGE CREAMERY

THE GROUND.
Texs, Coast Country the Finest I'm
the World for Producing
Good Butter.

Mr. w. II. Fosner OF Chicago. represents
ing large creamery establishment OF that
city, was In Houston yesterday. Mr. Fos-
ncr is down here for the purpose OF look
ing over the ground preparatory to putting
in plant OF this kind at some place In
the coast country. He has visited Rosen-
berg. Richmond, Brookshire, Alvin and
Webster. but has not as yet decided on
location. Speaking of the butter now be-
Ing shipped from the North and West to
this country, he said.
There is no need that such should be
can be produced in the coast country Of
Texas as is made in Illinois, Kansas or
any other Western or Northern state. The
same butter that the people of Houston are
paying % to 30 cents per pound for is sold
In places whore 1t Is made for 10 to II
cents. You folks are made to pay 10 to 10
cents per pound more than II you had
creamerles down here.
There Is no better place In the world
to produce first class butter than on the
grass land OF Southern rexas, and at less
cost than II is made In the Western and
Northern States. There they are forced
TO feed their COWS for seven or eight
months during the year on grains and
meals. while down here your grazing lands
are good almost the year round, and only
have TO be supplemented with feedstuffs
that the Western people use during the
summer months
Eyes, this is the country Tor creameres
and do not think It will be great while
before one or more will be in operation
near Houston. At cost OF $4,000 first
class creamery with an Ice plant connected
can be built that will pay more in the
investment than any other enterprise IN
which the same capital Is used

Obituary.

Charles Russell, whose life career
spans nearly century of time, passed
quietly away last Thursday afternoon.
A few minutes before his soul took It's
flight he was up about the house, but
the life spring after so many years
closed and a well spent life was ended.
Charles Russell was born in Hamil-
ton, Scotland, February %, 1903, and
died at Audubon, Iowa, Thursday.
September %, 1899. He was a man
with strong constitution and belong
ed to family noted for their long
evity. He moved to America in 1887
and settled at Burlington, Vermont,
and later in life moved to Stoughton.
Wisconsin. He was member of the
Goth Highlanders and served his coun-
try as soldier during the reign of
King George w and was one of his
personal guards in which capacity he
served with distinction. He was
the father of four children, Geo. B.
Russell of this place, being the only
one that survives him. He had lived
to see the greatest growth, develope-
ment and advancement of any period
in the worlds history. He has lived
life OF honor, sobriety and useful
ness and cheerfully surrendered to the
inevitable summons that called him
from the earthly scenes of his long and
eventful pilgrimage.
The funeral was held at the home of
John A. Nash. conducted by Rev. Ed.
b. Cousins, after which the remains
were taken to Stoughton, Wisconsin,
where he now rests by the side of his
wife who preceded him 80 years ago.
While he lived decade after decade be-
yond the expectancy of mankind, vet,
when death came it brought it's at
tendant sorrows to those who are re-
lated by kindred ties. Words of kind
ness and deeds of sympathy and love
from friends during the hour of death
and the days of sorrow are duly and
deeply appreciated but none can take
the place OF the dear departed.

Columbian Club Lecture Course.

The ladies of the Columbian Club
wish to call the attention of the peo-
pie of Audubon to a lecture course to
be given this winter. The program is
as follows:
Lecture, "Buttoned Up People," by
Robert Mcintyre, October IS.
Musicale, by Temple Quartette, No
vember 80.
Impersonation, "Christopher, Jr.," by
George P. Elliott, January 80.
Sunny Side Of Life" by DR.. James
Hedley, March Is.
Lecture, "Harp of the Senses" by
John Denote, April 4.
Much thought has been given to the
advisability of having lecture course
in Audubon. After due consideration
and having been urged and promised
support, the Columbian Club has TAX
en- upon itself this work which it con-
siders educational. 1t is no money
making scheme but tht the ladies feel
that the receipts must pay all expens-
es, which will be over $3.50. This
course will introduce to our town
some of the best lecturers in the Unit
ed States and it will indeed be great
mistake if all who can do not avail
themselves of this rare opportunity.
The ladies feel assured that the differ
ent numbers will be highly satisfac-
tory but they must have the heartyco-
operation of the citizens if the course
be entirely successful. 1t must be
borne in mind that if these lectures
are not successful in financial way,
it will be long time before a like at.
tempt will be made again. Therefore
the ladies solicit your hearty support
and ask you to remember that this
work is not taken up for the benefit OF
the club, but for the social and intel
lectual improvement of the town.

Geo. w. Hoover met with a serious

Geo. w. Hoover met with serious
accident Sunday morning while out
driving his new team of bronchos. He
was accompanied by August Oelke and
when driving out to the fair grounds
the team became frightened and ran
away throwing both occupants out
and injuring Mr.. Hoover quite SER
iously. He was picked up and carried
home in an unconscious condition. A
doctor was called who restored him to
consciousness and dressed the bruises.
Owing to his pluck he is able to be
about though badly bruised and disfig-
ured, but he will soon be so that no
one can tell that he ever drove wild
broncho team.

SCOTSMAN GREW ARRESTED
Stories of Pillage Told by the Passengers
Prove True.


Prove True.
MONTREAL, Oct. 2.-The list of the
Scotsman's dead remains at fifteen.
The feature of the day has been the ar
rest of % members Of the Scotsman's
crew, laden with plumber. They came
to Montreal on the steamer Montfort.
On the wharf awaiting to receive them
were 20 police officers. The policemen
were kept concealed until the gangways
were alongside, when they suddenly
swarmed on board and in a second had
rounded up the Scotsman's crew. 1t
was done SO quickly that the men had
no opportunity of Kidding themselves Of
any traces of guilt. Half a dozen pa
troll wagons were alongside and into
these the sailors were hustled amid the
jeers and Kisses of large crowd which
had gathered.
"Throw them into the river" was
the cry that went up.
Had it not been for the presence of
the police the threat would probably
have been carried into effect. The men
were taken to the Central police station
and there searched. When the search
was ended there remained not the
slightest doubt of the stories of the
pillage and violence told by the unlucky
passengers on the Scotsman.
