Gene Mertz and wife went from here
on the excursion to Lake View Sun
day and report a very pleasant time.
This branch did not give very heavy
patronage but the one from up toward
Sioux City had large crowd. They
expect to give another one some time
during the latter part of June and will
announce the date later.
A ball game is slated for Gray, Fri
day between the overall nine and the
local recently organized team. We do
not know of the merits of either team,
but since we are more familiar with
those, who wear overalls we are pre-
pared to see them come off the victors,
because this certainly is the great year
for the working man and the farmer.
Elmer Beems, the proprietor of the
billiard room and barber shop, is car
rylng his left arm in sling this week
as result of trying to make turning
pole out of the hitching rack In front
of Rogers restaurant. The bar gave
away with him and let him down
heavily on his arm and fractured one
bone little and tore the ligaments
loose from the places but under skill
full treatment of DR.. Beers he is getting
on nicely.
A visit to the creamery this week
showed everything in good shape and
much improved in appearance. The
buttermaker has not spared time or
labor in his efforts to make things
handy and neat and clean. He reports
that they are in need of a couple
more haulers than they have they have
the two routes, that could care for
good lot of people who would like to
patronize them. We do not see why
some good men who are making less,
do not take this opportunity to make
over $500 month net, which is good
wages. Mr. Lancelot informs us that
the private separator concerns are try
ing their best to get foothold in the
country. We do not see how they can
be better than the creameries or pay
more as they promise to do. Besides
if man figures his labor and the first
cost of the separators he can gain
nothing and to stand by the creamery
which is permanent thing and means
a great thing to the community. It
brings about $4,000 per month each
month into the community and that
surely keeps more money in circulate
ion. In ALL the eight creameries in the
county bring in about $2OO,0OO.O0 an
nually in cash to the county and may
be counted upon as always doing so,
while the hand separator promoter
may be a thing of short duration.
Stand by the local creameries and you
will make money. Some fellows
wake up and take in the opportunity
of making good money on one of the
routes.

EMPEROR WILLIAMS GIFT.
How He Decided to Present United
States With a Statue.

How He Decided to Present United
States With a Statue.
Emperor Williams purpose of CIV
ing statue Of Emperor Frederick the
Great to the United States was SEEM
ingly quite suddenly formed, says a
Berlin dispatch to the New York Jour-
nal.
A few evenings ago his majesty was
holding an informal reception in the
court box of the new theater at Wies-
baden between the acts of the opera,
"The Merry Wives of Windsor" when
he turned to Professor Uphues, the
sculptor, and said:
"Uphues, want you to make anoth-
er statue Of Frederick the Great
To this the professor replied:
II shall be delighted, your majesty"
This was the first the sculptor had
heard of the project, and it was APP
parently the first that any one had
heard of the emperor's intention. His
majesty then told Professor Uphues
that the statue was for presentation to
the people of the United States, and
his cablegram to President Roosevelt
on the subject was written and sent
the next day.

Petition To The Public.

We, the Retail Clerks Association,
of Audubon, Iowa, being organized
! for the purpose of efecting the early
closing of the stores have, at a meeting
ofthe merchants and clerks held in the
!, Y. M. G. A. Rooms on Monday, Nav
10, 1902, adopted the following resolu-
tions:
WHEREAS, We believe that the
stores are kept open longer than neces-
sary, thereby preventing the clerks
from having any time for recreation or
study and depriving them of the op-
portunity of attending to religious and
social affairs, and that the business
done after $50 p. m. for the accommo-
dation of the few purchasers who occa-
sionally buy goods after that hour does
not warrant the great hardship and in
justice done to the retail clerks; and
WHEREAS, The opposition to the
early closing movement appears to be
of the opinion that the public den. ands
the keeping of the stores open to a late
hour; therefore, be it
ResoIped, That we, the clerks ask
the earnest cooperation and aid of the
purchasing public to use their ihfiu-
ence with others and to speak good
I word for the object in view.
We, the undersigned, having read
the above resolution heartily endorse
the sentiment therein expressed, and
will SO far as possible do our purchas-
ing before the hour of $50 p. M, Sat
urday excepted and will urge others to
do the same.
The above petition is now being pre-
sented to the public by the retail clerks
of Audubon for public opinion and sig
nature In the short time the petition
] has been circulated it has received in
the neighborhood of four hundred
signers. In CHANGING over the list we
find that a great many of the sigma
lures are those of farmers SO this goes to
show that the farmers aswell as the
town people can see the uselessness of
thirty or more clerks being kept from
the hours of $50 to $50 p. m. with
practically nothing to do. They are
willing to do their trading during the
'xday or on Saturday nights when of
3ourse the stores will be open until ten
kor eleven o'clock. The clerks felt that
this was the only just way of present.
ing the question as it would get the
public who do the trading and would
show the few merchants who hesitate
about closing that the customers wish
to be fair with the clerks. The petit.
ton can be- found in the stores upon
the counters. When coming into the
stores if you can't find the petition ask
for it, look over the list of names, sign
| your own and 1t will be greatly appre-
ciated.

Ugliness Mt a Premium.

In the town of Haschmann, Ger
many, prizes are offered yearly for the
men who will marry the ugliest or the
most crippled and to the women over
forty who have been Tilted at least
twice. The money was left by big
fnancier, and he. realizing that beauty
is an attraction hard to overcome, made
a provision in his will that out of the
income of the fund not less than ZIG
shall go with the ugliest girl in any
year and the cripple shall receive f12.
The four women over forty who have
been Tilted by lover receive, when the
funds will permit. f10 each, but the
trustee can vary this amount and at
his own discretion offer a larger prize
to some one who will marry an unusu-
ally ugly girl or one to whom nature
has been specially unkind,

The one That Chose to Pay.

Three men had been out on a spree.
and on the way home late at night
they made a wager that the one who
did not do as his wife told him should
pay for champagne supper the fol-
lowing night.
The first one returned home, and his
wife greeted him thus:
"Hello. you beauty! That's right,
knock all the ornaments off the mantel-
piece!'
He knocked them all off.
The second returned and on going
into his house fell against the piano.
whereupon his wife said:
go on; get chopper and smash it
upw
He did so.
The third returned. and on going up
stairs his wife said:
"You miserable scamp, fall down
stairs and break your neckw
Needless to say. he paid for the sup

Aaron Anderson, one of the thrifty
farmers around here, was in town
Tuesday with several loads of mighty

wishing cobs will know where to go
to get them.

Henry Turner and family dropped in

The streets in certain places look
deserted and torsaken. The old grain
office of Stuart's that has stood SO
long is gone as are other places SO that
things are not as they once were.

running out in Douglas township ar
rived in town Saturday and the farm
ers will soon be taking them out so as
to get their mutual phones in opera
ton.
Nels Olsen shipped out couple of
carloads of hogs Tuesday to Omaha

ing, which means more than as if he
had bought them after some one else
had fattened them.
Fred Ruhs and Albert Fest got
back home from the Dakotas, Satur-
day, telling great thing OF that coun-
try. Fred purchased a quarter Sec
tion up there and will doubtless real

VIM. Jingst sold dozen good hogs
Tuesday to help swell the markets
and to fill his pocket book. He had
intended to go back to Illinois this
week but has now decided to wait
awhile as his crop now needs caring
for.
George Ross returned from his Da.
kota trip richer in land by a three
quarter section tract of the finest land
possible. Mr.. Ross is a conservative
buyer and we feel sure the land must
be all right or he would not have in
vested.

The solemn quaker.

At the funeral of lawyer of state
reputation who lived and practiced in
town not far from Philadelphia and
who was known among his friends
thereabout as an unbeliever an emil
nent gentleman from Philadelphia
reached the house after the minister
had begun the sermon. Not knowing
how far the services had progressed,
he accosted a well known Quaker of
the town, who was friend of the de-
ceased and who was noted for his great
sense Of humor, and, leaning over his
shoulder, asked in whisper:
"What part of the services have they
reached?'
To which the Quaker, without a
smile. replied:
"Just opened for the defense"

Last Saturday night pandemonium
seemed to reign for time in Ross,
for hay leaders, counters and the like
seemed to take unto themselves legs
and walk over in front of Stemm's

instead of in front of the place he
would have had them put.
Tuesday was one of the busiest days.
Ross has seen for some time. By
nine in the morning there was scarce
ly hitching place left in town, and
all day the town was full of people:
More hogs came to town as also more
grain of all kinds. Every firm in
town was busy putting out their
goods,and even at six O'Clock in the
evening they were all too busy we
could scarcely get to talk with them.

 Arizona IS very attractive field for mining investments just now, and there are a number of young companies that bid fair to make dividend payers in the very near future. Arizona's mineral resources are among the most prominent of the mining states, and they can be said to be the most virgin. Arizona richly de- serves statehood. Capital will follow statehood very quickly Western Mining World.
