To Intimate Friends Says Road
 Has Eastern Illinois
MAY RELEASE THE LINE
No Statement Would Be Given Out With Reference to the Deal-The Deal May Be Counter Move
 Against Other Roads.

New York, July s1.-President Yoakum of the St. Louis and San Francisco rail- road has confirmed to his intimate friends, Says the Herald, the purchase by his line of the Chicago and Eastern Illi- nois
 Nothing bearing an official stamp. how ever, has been said as to the reason for the acquisition of the property. The two roads do not connect at any point and according to practical railroad men sey- eral hundred miles of construction work will have to be carried out before the big Southwestern system will be able to reap the advantages which the Chicago and Eastern Illinois road can supply in the way of an entrance into Chicago.
 Refused to Talk.
 When President YoaIxum was seen at the Waldorf he refused to discuss the terms of the purchase and would neither confirm nor deny a report that the H. linois Central had practically concluded arrangements for the acquisition or the lease of this system.
 q am not ready to talk yet" he said
 Strange Things Happen.
 When questioned as to the reason of the acquisition of the Chicago and East ern Illinois when his road is several hum dred miles away from any point of con- nection, he laughed and said:
 Strange things happen, don't they?,
 In well-informed banking circles the intimation was quietly given, concludes the Herald, that the Illinois Central either will become the owner of the Fris- co as a result of the present deal or will become the owner of the Frisco as a re- suit of the present deal or will lease that property as counter move against the aggressions of other interests in the south.

County and District Politics.

The republicans Of Audubon county
will need to chose delegation to the
state convention, one to the congress
sional convention and one to the judicial
convention this summer. The state con.
vention has been called to meet at Dss
Moines July, 30. Neither the congress
sional or judicial convention will likely
be called for an earlier date than that.
II the republicans Of the county do not
have to hold county convention to
chose delegates to any Of these conven-
tions at an earlier date than the latter
part Of July it is likely one convention
will answer to chose all delegations and
to nominate county ticket. The
county committee will be called together
before long, however, and will fix the
date Of our county convention.
There are many candidates for the
nominations on the state ticket. We
will speak of them in these columns
later. Congressman Smith appears to
have no opposition for denomination to
congress. The terms Of Judges Thor
nell, Green and Weeeler are out and all
are candidates for denomination. We
do not know that any OF them will be
much opposed.
In the county the terms OF auditor
clerk, recorder. attorney and one super
visor expire. Recorder Donaldson,
Clerk Hill, Attorney BIume and Super.
visor BonweIl are serving their first
terms aud all desire denominations We
believe the time has never been when
court house matters have been better
conducted and all these men. having
been good and honorable officials, wi
doubtless be given the customary re-
nominations. Auditor Greenwaldt who
is an exceptionally competent official snd
who has always been strong vote get
ter, is meeting much encouragement fol
being candidate for third term.

Mac Takes FINN Of Audubon.

Charles Van Gorder's new automobile
arrived he fore part of the week and is
occasioning considerable curiosity. Mr.
Van Gorder took it to Extra yesterday
In thirty -two minutes. Audubon r pub
lican.
The foregoing is little tisfactory
in the particular that it does not state
how the gentleman took his new auto to
Extra. Whether he took it foot or a
horseback is not important, since the
fact is undisputed that he landed 1t in
Extra, presumably by lawful means.
The peculiar fact is that the gentleman
named should have al automobile.
Charles Van Gorder has been a resident
and banker of Audubon county for bet.
ter than thirty years. He has been an
example of conservatism, sort of lay
moderator among his fellow men. 1t
has been his habit to discourage novel
ties and innovations. That he should
sport an automobile, tosay nothing Of
the strenuous task Of taking it to Extra
in thirty.two minutes, sounds fshy. 1t
can only be accepted as evidence Of the
reckless tendency of the times, against
which it seems idle to protest, and it is
our wish that he may prove winner at
the Olympian games. -Fontanelle OBJ

At the meeting Of the retail clerks Of
Audubon held at the court house Mon
day evening, the following officers we're
erected: r. o. Lamoreaux, chairman;
Harry Farmer, secretary. The object
OF organizing is in the interest of early
closing. We believe we are working
longer hours than is necessary. The
merchants naturally wart men and wo
men Of honor and education in their
employ. but under the present system
the clerks have practically no time to
become familiar with the affairs of the
day. Although the work after supper
is not often hard, still we are on
duty. Our minds instead OF being
rested after days toll, are on the bust
ness and we are away from our homes.
We therefore request the CO operation
OF the business men and all others in
terested in early closing. All clerks
wishing to become associated with this
organization are requested to attend the
next meeting to be held Monday even
ing, May 10. at the court house. We
also earnestly request all business men
to attend this meeting and present their
views on the subject.
