Geo. Smith, late of Carroll, has ac-
cepted a position in Jim Pounds
blacksmith shop. He is an expert
horse sheer and for a number of years
has made a speciality of shoeing driv-
ing horses and roadsters. Anyone
seeing his work will be convinced that
he is a master mechanic and under
stands his business. He is thorough
workman in any and all kinds of iron.
The young men of the Methodist
Sunday school who were recently en-
tertained by the young ladies of the
school, do not intend to be outdone.
They will entertain the young ladies
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. w.

rangements for an evening of pleasure
have been completed. The party will
banquet at the Talbot restaurant.
The Manning High School base ball
team met the Audubon boys on the
diamond at the Fair Grounds We'd
nesday and gave the spectators one of
the most interesting games of the sea-
son The teams were closely matched
and at the end OF the ninth inning the
score was a tie. The tenth inning gave
the Audubon boys the game, the score
being II to IA. The game was very
satisfactory one and created more than
usual interest.

Extras kid base ball team came up
Saturday to play game with the Au-
dubon little fellows. The contest re-
suited in a victory for the home boys
by the score of 26 to 6. A deplorable
feature of the game was an accident
that occurred in the last inning, by
which Dick Guernsey, the little third
baseman of the Extra team, sustained
broken limb. 1t seems that one of
the Audubon base runners, while slid
ing in on the base, accidentally struck
Dick just above the ankle, with suffi-
Gent force to break the bone.

Like Velvet.

Our readers will be interested in
knowing there is one medicine sold
by the druggists, Nick Dotfing & Co.,
Extra, and N. G. Bronson, Audubon,
that possesses unusual merit. Krause's
Little Liver Pills. They are a small,
purely vegetable, gelatine coated pill,
acting directly on the liver and bile
without the irritation and gripping
common to most pills. They are gentle
and natural in their action, as soft as
velvet to all tender surfaces and are
positive, unfailing cure for billiousness
and constipation.

LlNCOLN'S CAR TO BE PRESERVED
BY THE MEN HE FREED
duiunJTnu u1nTlru

The recent visit OF Booker T. Wash
ington TO Omaha has resulted in a
movement TO resurrect the old Abra-
ham Lincoln car from the scrap pile
in this city and preserve II as a relic.
The colored people of the city have
taken the matter In hand and have pc
titioned the council to make an appro-
priatlon looking to that end. The In
teresting relic occupies an isolated
place in the yards OF the Union Pacific
Railroad Company. Just what terms
can be made for the purchase OF the
car has not yet been ascertained, but
the probabilities are that the COM
pany can be prevailed upon TO donate
the car 10 the city. provided an agree
ment Is made TO have II preserved and
a building is furnished for that pur-
pose
Booker Washington heard Of the car
when In Omaha and went down 10 the
yards 20 look II over He aroused the
enthusiasm OF the col0red people. The
plan Is 10 restore the car 10 its original
beauty when II was the travelling home
Of President Lincoln. Several photo
graphs Of the car as II was originally
are In existence. and there are sew
eral showing the sable decorations OF
the car when Il carried The BODY OF
the martyr to Springfield. The colored
people want 10 raise a national sub
scription among colored people 10 re-
store the car TO Its original appear
ance.
Though merely a skeleton OF its
original, the memories that cluster
around this relic make II an object OF
