date for reelection, is recognized by
the people of the county, regardless OF
palitical parties, to be one of the best
school men ever in the county and
that his work during the past two
years has put the schools of the county
in better condition than ever before
and has stimulated an interest among
the teachers and gained their goodwill
and cooperation so that the basis for
future operations is assured. Many
of his political opponents have spoken
highly Of his manly, courteous quail
ties, and expressed desire to see him
returned to the office. Those who de-
sire such men as him to hold office;
one who represents honesty integrity
and worth, one who holds the esteem,
confidence and respect of the thinking
people of our county, should remember
that it is their votes that count. The
judges of election don't count good
wishes or promises, but votes. If
elected we state with confidence that
the practical experience in school
work gained by Mr.. Spencer will
enable him in the coming two

that they voted for so worthy man

From early boyhood, Asmus Boysen,
the republican candidate for the office
of representative, has been closely re-
lated and engaged in the business ac-
tivitives of common life. Early in life
he was thrown out upon his own re-
sources to make his way in the world.
The details of his career would be ofin-
terest to the public, but suffice to say,
he has achieved success and today
holds position of prominence in the
affairs of men. For years his business
career has been known to the people of
the county and he is recognized as one
of the leaders of all that is for the
growth and and prosperi-
ty of the county. He is of a genial and
social disposition and by years OF asso-
citation has surrounded himself with
many true and tried friends. In the
present campaign he is the same as
when following the ordinary pursuits
oflife-no more, no less. In pr ivate
life as we'll as in politics he is always
true and CONSTANT, ever thoughtful of
his friends. He is honest, capable and
deserving and worthy of the support
of the people for the office to which he
aspires, because their interests are his
interests, whatever will materially adj
,,,noa bic own nriyata interests will
advance the common interests of all.
He is a broad and liberal minded re-
publican, believing that the principles

Special Request.

In order, as nearly as possible, to
accommodate all who will attend the
reception of our soldier boys of 1S9s-'99
the committee on general arrange
ments have prepared two programs for
the Opera House and hereby respect
fully request that the citizens of Au-
dubon-eNcept the public schools give
up their respective places in the hall
during the afternoon program to those
coming from other parts of the county
who may not be able to attend the
evening program; and that they, in
turn, give up their places in the hall
in the evening to Audubon people.
We earnestly hope that all, who pos
sibly can, will be present on that
memorable occasion during some
part of the exercises, afternoon or
evening, and join in royal greeting,
betting the occasion.
Also the immediate families of all
the soldier boys of '9S-'99 as soon as
they arrive in Audubon will please re-
port at Russell's store, to Jas. R.
Chandler their names and the num-
Der in each family present, so that he,
having full charge of the seating and
ushering, may be able to secure for
all such, it possible, reserved seats in
the hall. All thus failing to report
must take their own chance of seating.

AS a result of the formation of the bi-
cycle trust, it is said, there is to be con
solidation of some Of the agencies of the
different wheels in this city. 1t is already
certain that two large agencies are to con-
solidate, and other combinations are being
contemplated. As a consequence do,al bi-
cycle dealers are sad to be somewhat agi-
tated over the future outlook.
A representative of the bicycle trust is
in the city looking ovec the ground. In
speaking of the bicycle business to Times
reporter last night he said
Yes the bicycle trust is a reality, and
it is here to stay. The trust has headquar-
ters in New York city. The big manufa =
turers are represented on the board OF
managers This organization has been
formed about four months. and already
controls over so per cent of the bicycle out
put of the United States. Among the con-
Germs which have gone into the trust are
eighteen manufacturers of some Of the
best known wheels on the market.
1t will not be the policy OF the COM
bine TO raise the price of wheels, nor wi
they seek to lower the price below its al
ready low level. Improvement in bicycles
will be the aim of the concern for d time
at least and with the consolidation of the
various patents which so to make up this
large number of wheels, it is believed that
what can be effected in this way viii be
surprising.
"Of course. the company expects to Sc
cure a larger percentage of profits from
the manufacture and sale of Wheels by rea-
son of their increased facilities for dis
tributiOn. etc, but to the buying public
and the local dealer there will be no per-
ceptible change"
