Small Pox

Various reports are in circulation in
the country about small pox iu Audu-
bon, so We think in justice to the
business interests of the town as well
as in justice to our readers, We ought
to give the facts.
Audubon has one case of small pox,
very light one. 1t has only the one
case and has had only that one this
winter. The patient, Asa Horton, was
taken with it two or three weeks ago
and has been cared for at the home Of
his brother, V. E. Horton. He has
been kept away from the rest of the
family and strict quarantine of the
premises has been maintained. The
family have all been vaccinated. The
case has been in charge of the board of
health and all possible precautions
have been taken. The patient is
practically well and will soon be out
1t is not expected that any other cases
Will result from THIS one.
About two weeks ago Adam Troxel,
living two miles southwest of town,
was also taken with the disease. The
same care has been taken with this
patient that was taken with Mr.. Horton,
the board of health having charge. Mr..
Troxel has practically recovered. His
attack was light.
A few days ago A. c. Darland, of
Douglas township, four miles north
west of town, was taken with the same
disease. He is not very bad, we learn.
That case is also being looked after by
the health officers.
The small pox now prevalent over
the state is in very mild form if it is
ANAL pox at all. Audubon is fortunate
so far as not being afflicted with an
epidemic of it. If it can be confined
to the one case in town it will be be
cause of the good work OF the board OF
health and the precaution of our people
in being vaccinated.
In view of the fact that we have but
one small pox patient and have had but
one, and that he and also the two
patients in the country each was taken
with the disease just three weeks from
the time each was in Atlantic, it looks
a little presumptuous on the part of the
Atlantic Messenger when it says as il
did a few days ago that there was nc
danger from small pox in Atlantic but
that Audubon had lots of it. That is
human nature we suppose. Small pc,
looks insignifcantly small in YOU
home town, Init as big as a barn in {
neighboring town.
| The one case we have here has mo-
interferred with business in the least
that we know of, neither Shouldn't.

The Revival.

The gospel meetings at the Church Of
Christ are now in the third week and
the interest continues to grow.
Evangelist Moore is not disappointing
those who attend. He is a plain and
forcible speaker and breaches as il he
believed every word he utters. There is
no hesitancy in his manner. He appeals
constantly to the Bible. His rebukes of
sin have no uncertain sound He holds
up high ideal of living and contends
that it is easier to be christian than
not to be.
The lecture on Sunday afternoon was
well attended and many prophecies were
explained to the delight Of the audience.
At night the house was packed; Mr..
Moore spoke on baptism. There has
been number added to the church.
They will continue every night this week
and next.
Sunday the 10th, their services will be
held at IL a. m.; 3p. m. and 1880 p. m.
The afternoon lecture will be for men
only. No boys under II years Of age
will be admitted. Subject, Roads to
He'll" At 7:30 chart sermon on, Sin
and its Cure" There will be grand
rally on Sunday-the evangelist and
Rev. McSparran, the pastor, are making
an effort to have every member present.

Two Fires Last Night.

After passing along for six months
without single fire alarm two were
sounded last night. The first one was
a little after 10 o'clock, the barn on
the unoccupied property next south of
Tom Campbell on the corner of Wash
ington and Davenport streets, being on
fire. 1t was entirely consumed but the
fire company prevented the burning of
the Kennedy barn which was very close
and was scorched badly. The old
barn contained some feed belonging to
Mr.. Campbell.
The second fire was that Of an out
house on the G. c. Harper lot and oc-
Cured shortly after midnight. Night
Waterman Jones had it nearly out be-
fore the fremen arrived.
These two fires look suspicious. II
can hardly be seen how they could
have occurred from natural causes

Odd Fellows Install.

Friday night Aretas Lodge, No. 1896,
l. o. o. +. of this city, installed their
officers at public installation cere-
mony. District deputy H. NJ Bartlett,
of Brayton, had charge of the cero-
monies. Mr.. Bartlett is very efficient
man at such work. He thoroughly
knows his part and delivers it unusually
we'll. The officers installed were
Joseph Moody, N. g.; Roy Hibbs, v.
g.; W. H. Kelly ST., Secy.; Chas. l..
Tramp, Treas. After their installation
Mrs. Chandler very appropriately and
nicely conducted the installation of the
officers of the Rebeccas. The officers
are Mrs. Esbeck, N. g.; Auda Kelly,
V. G.; Lillis Hays, Secy. Mrs Cooley,
Treas.
There was large company in atten-
dance and good social time was
enjoyed. There were present from
Gray the following Mr.. and Mrs.
T. b. Creyeling, +. S. Wilson and
Mrs. NJ. E. Wilson, Mrs. W. J. Lance
lot, Mrs. Joe Nedrow, Miss Mollie
Barger, Miss Edna Beers, Mr.. and
Mrs. H. B. Shelly and two daughters,
Misses Sadie and Ella Forsbeck, Carl
Forsbeck and Peter Nelson.
Aretas Lodge is now comfortably
located in very nice new brick build
ing, up stairs in the new Stuart build
ing. Electric lights add much to their
convenience. The lodge is quite
prosperous.
One of the interesting features in
connection with the affair was the
presence of Mrs. Roana Cole, of this
city, who had been initiated into the
Rebeccas at their previous meeting
Grandma Cole is said to be the Oldest
woman ever initiated into the Rebecca
lodge in Iowa, being over SO years of
age when initiated two weeks ago.
She is quite prominent woman and is
held in high esteem. She was born in
Otsego county, N. Y, October 26,
1912. On January IL, 1880, she was
married to John S. Cole, the installa-
ton services Friday night being on the
list anniversary of her marriage. Mr..
and Mrs. Cole moved to Cleveland,
Ohio, in 1884, and to Iowa in 1859.
Mr.. Cole enlisted from Poweshiek
county in 1862 in the 37th Iowa and
died when home on sick furlough
December 1862. They also had three
sons E. H., Fl. E. and ]. ". b. in the
Union army. Mrs. Cole moved here
with her children in 1880. Four of hel
sons, E. H., Fl. E., d. d. and @. A..
were Odd Fellows, so her joining the
Rebeccas seems very appropriate. Mrs
Cole is in full possession of hel
faculties of mind and is in quite gooi
bodily health and yet promises to liv'
many happy years.

Clinton Chosen.

The committee appointed by the Iowa
State Sabbath School Association for
the selection of place for the next con-
vention announce Clinton as it's choice.
The date set is June 1857, 1901, and the
place will probably be the Presbyterian
church. The choice Of location has
been hard one, rendered doubly so by
pleas from other cities that wished to
entertain the convention, but it is be-
lieved that no mistake has been made.
1t Is especially appropriate that this
legacy of the nineteenth century should
commence it's twentieth century cam
paign in the city which gave it its birth,
for it was in Clinton that that the Assoc
citation was organized in September, 1865.
The present general superintendent, A.
d. Sallee. of Davenport, modestly dis
claims any credit for the organization,
though he thinks it was fastened some
by his birth upon the opposite bank OF
the river four months previous to this
time,

ed up over the question of the old officers
holding over because Of the Titus
Amendment. L. r. Morris, member Of
the board, who should have gone out,
refused to do so, and on the advice of
the old county attorney who should
have gone out also, adjourned to Feb.
A, to await the decision Of the Supreme
court. Thus no bonds we're approved
and the old officers are holding over.
1t seems to US that this attempt to hold
over under the amendment is about the
rankest and most unreasonable thing in
politics we have had in Iowa in many
years. 1t is an attempt to override the
expressed will Of the people and to get
the benefits Of Office which the people
intend for another.

The G. A. r. post of this place has
leased the hall over the postoffice and
they are putting in electric lights, re-
arranging and fixing it up so it will BIZ
an attractive and pleasant place to hold
their meetings and those of the Relief
Corps. The members are making an
effort to get the post more firmly es-
tablished again. We think this is very
commendable. The time is not
distant very many years when their
ranks will be so thinned that they can
not hold post meetings. Until that
time we hope the post will be kept up.
A G.. A. r. post is a. mark of patriotism
for town, an honor to the place. 1t
also enables the members to keep alive
the old memories and renew the old
ties of comradeship. 1t helps them to
organize and to better teach the lessons
of patriotism to the present generation.
The meetings of the post are held on
the second Friday night of each month
at 7:30 sharp. The Corps meets at
$50 p. m. the first and third Friday OF
each month.
