The face was the face of Caleb wrinkled with time and with the trials of an arduous life. The fore head. jutting out above eyes that are both blue and brown. the determined jaw and lips pressed close together were like the sons. Simple. unlearned, there was determination of purpose written all over the features of that face. It could love, it could hate, quietly. but as fiercely as the burning of a hidden fire.
 An afternoon paper of the day before had been brought out and the old peo- pie listened with interest to the read ing of the story of the sons removal from Georgetown to the jail at Louis vile. Bound Like the Beasts of the Field' was the flaming headlines tell ing of the taking of the prisoner in kandcuffs to the jail.

 But l manned it out" continued Mrs. Powers. And she is the sort of q woman to man it out"
 There are five children in the Powers family. All were born in Knox county except Caleb, who was a year old when the family moved from Whitney. The three daughters are married; the youngest, Rebecca, the baby child. as Mrs. Powers calls her having run away on her way to school and mar Iied Hayes Green last Nov mber just after election.

EvangeIistic Meetings.

Evangelistic meetings have been con.
tinued at the Presbyterian church this
week. They will be brought to close
on Sabbath evening. There has been a
growing interest from the first, notwith.
standing the many obstacles encount.
cred. On last Sabbath night all the
other pastors dismissed their services
and lent their presence showing most
commendabie spirit. The auditorium
was packed to the doors and it was nee
essary to open up the Sunday school
room.
Mr. Birch's preaching is plain, practi-
cal and heart searching. There is moth
ing sensational in it. He aims to awaken
the conscience OF church people and sim
ner alike. His cornet playing is very
fine. His singing has been supplemented
by the help Of his wife, who is very fine
vocalist. Their duets have been highly
appreciated.
A special feature IL the meetings this
week has been the meeting OF the boys
and girls, The attendance at them have
been very large.
On Sabbath afternoon at 800 o'clock
a meeting for men and boys only will be
held. Much preparation has been made
to interest all the male population OF
Audubon and vicinity. 1t is hoped that
many will embrace this opportunity to
hear Mr.. Birch.

John Ewing died at his home in this
city Friday morning at 1880. He had
been IN not very rugged health for a
year or two but was not seriously i'll till
a week or two ago when he was taken
with pneumonia complicated with heart
failure, OF which he died.
Mr.. Ewing was born in Indiana, April
/, 1887 and was therefore past 63 years
old He moved to Iowa in 1861 aud was
married to the wife who survives him.
Two children were born to them, one Of
whom died and the other, Mrs. ID. J.
Conklin, OF Bridgeport, Mo-, was here at
his death. Miss Ora, an adopted daugh-
ter has lived with them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ewing came to Audubon
when the town was new and have lived
here since. Eight years ago Mr.. Ewing
united with the NJ f. church and since
then has led christian life. He was a
man Of many good traits of character.
He had numerous friends and his family
were all devoted to him. The funeral
was at the Nj. L. church Saturday after
noon, conducted by Rev. Matheny assist.
ed by Rev. Conner and was largely at.
tended: Burial was in Arlington flights

The Advocate was not pleased with
Congressman Cousins speech. 1t calls
it "disgraceful, outrageous, bombastic.
immoral and unpatriotic." 1t says the
speech contained mot an ounce Of argu.
ment but tons OF slurs." The Advocate
is very unreasonable toward Mr.. Cous-
ins. The editor was evidently offended
by the orators keen thrusts and, being
offended, did the worst thing he could
do under the circumstances, lose his
head. Not being able to meet the argu-
ment he presumes to say there was no
argument. To say the speech was i'm
moral shows that the editor spoke rash
ly or else he lacks in judgment. To the
large and appreciative audience that
hung on the orators words there was no
suggestion Of anything immoral. Cous.
ms has national reputation as an &C.
complished orator, record OF success
won at seats OF learning and where the
standards are the most exacting. Such
a bungling and untrue criticism as the
Advocate gave him only goes to show
the weakness OF the critic.

Rural Free Delivery.

Hon. John I. Boylan, of Eldora, spec
ial agent for the establishing of rural
free delivery mail routes, was in town
Friday. In company with postmaster H..
w. Wilson, George Evarts who had as.
sisted in passing the petition and j. E.
Meyer, prospective carrier he went over
the route, varying it some from the one
mapped out by the petitioners. On
reaching Audubon he made out his re-
port recommending the establishing Of
the route and the prospects are the
mail will be going by November LIST or
18th.
The carrier is to leave here each morn
ing at ten o'clock, or after the morning
mails are in, go north through Bradley
vile, north from there two miles to Jas.
Lees, west one mile to the Slayton school
house, north mile and half on the
township lines, west mile to the cor
ner north of Geo. Everts', north mile
and half, west mile to the German
church, north mile to the cemetery,
west two miles passing the center school
house, south four miles passing Sparks
Bakers and going one mile into Doug
las township to A. Kibbler's, east three
miles passing Somers Bros. and to the
Graves school house, south two miles to
Lone Willow school house, east to Brad
leyyille and south to the post office. The
length OF the route is 26 miles, the num-
Der of families served, not over mile
from the route by the nearest road 1913,
and the time of reaching the post office
on return is Up. m.
The recommendation of agent Boyla n,
while not final, will in all probability be
endorsed. j. A. Meyer has given bonds
and will be the carrier. He will sell
stamps, stamped envelopes, will register
letters and receive applications for mon
ey orders and be in fact deputy post
master. He may do errands for people
along the route, but only for pay. His
pay from the government is $500 per
year, he furnishing his own team. He
will go every day except Sunday. Pat
rons are required to put up iron or
metal boxes at the road side where their
mail will be put. The roads must be
kept in reasonably good condition or the
route will not be maintained.
There are already over one hundred
routes like this in the state and they are
being put in right along. They are
rather more 10 the eastern states. The
department is covered up with applica-
tions for new routes. The system is a
great accommodation to the country
districts. The time is not many years
distant when the routes will be a net
work all over the country.
