Womans' Home Missionary Society of
the Council Bluffs presbytery, We'd
nesday April 18th, at the Presbyterian

Albert Taylor who has been work
ing for Doak q Lane, caring for the
horses they had shipped in recently
was kicked by a yearling colt Wednes-
day and received injuries that may
prove to be very serious. The young
animal was sort of quiet, favorite pet
and was not considered dangerous.
He was carried home on stretcher
and the best of care and attention is
being given him.
AT the town election held Monday
there were 3Sl votes cast. II. w.
Hanna received 235 votes and Samuel
SWitzer 145. A heavy vote was polled
although, those who are best informed
say that there about $50 voters in the
town. If this be true Audubon is no
longer town but will become city
of the second class. 1t is understood
that owing to the place having q
population of upward of 1000 there
will be special enumerator appointed
to take the census of the town. AL
ready there is a scramble for the posi-
ton of census enumerator.
VIM. Cloughly has on display at his
drug store, as original a set of burglar
tools as was ever gotten up by follow
ers of that craft. They consist of set
of six skeleton keys made from COM
mon ten penny nails, and one large
one, made from an iron rod, and hav-
ing key at each end. They were
found in the park recently by the
sheriff and turned over to Will for dis
play with the set he procured in the
cars, some time ago. How they ever
got in the park and who left them
there is mystery, but they show in
genuity in their invention.
Mrs. John Lidd received the sad in
telligence this week that her brother,
James Burke, had died suddenly,
March 18th, at Santa Clara, Cuba.
The deceased represents those who are
the defenders OF our nations honors,
the vindicators of the rights of human
ity and the protectors of our flag. He
was member of the End U. S. Caval-
ry, and although he died not by the
leaden missile of the enemy, or in the
wild charge to glory, yet it was in the
service of the country he loved. He
had hoped to visit his sister the COM
ing summer, but now his marble brow
has been touched by the cold finger of
death. His pulse no longer throbs to
the activities of life and in the mill
tary cemetery in distant Cuba, under
the ample folds of the'stars and stripes,
in hearing OF the bugle call of his COM
rades, another hero rests in peace,
sacrificing his lfe's blood in the name
OF CIVILIZATION, humanity and the per-
putuity of his nations honor.
A number of Danish emigrants ar
rived direct from the old country
Wednesday and will make the land Of
freedom their future home. Lars Han
sen and his brother and friend had,
the party in charge. They left here
last November to visit with relatives
in the father land. and say that they
had most enjoyable time with rela-
tives and friends, but yet believe that
in free America there are greater OPP
portunities than across the ocean
home. The names of the party, as far
as we could learn, are as follows:
Lars Hansen.
Peter Hansen
Peter Jensen.
