Deaths Hand.

Last Friday the spirit of Mrs. DIR.
Jackson winged its way to the shaded,
ocean kissed shore of that dim eterni-
ty, and Sunday her body, the temple
of that better life, was taken to her old
home at Somerville and laid to rest by
the side of her sleeping boy. She has
long been sick and suffering the pangs
of disease, but with purity and hero
ism that swept into the channel of her
life the spirit of those she loved She
died in the faith of the God she wor-
shipped. To her it was no Janus. faced

his eternal throne, branding some in

Death is not all. We go down into
the dark valley, but along its sides are
trees and plants and shrubs; from ev-
cry jutty and rock spring violets and
clematis and roses, sending their aro-
matte perfume like incense to breathe
of joy and peace. The river is wind
ing stream, kissing here the overdroop-
ing lily. or yonder gurgling forth its
love song of creation. The song of
boatmen lulls in dreamy slumber, the
ever waking sensibility that binds us
to the life past and gone. So with

SMALLPOX.

Audubon has experienced small
pox scare, but owing to the efforts of
the officers and the enforcement of a
strict quarantine of all people sick or
exposed, no one fears that there will
be any danger of the spread OF the
disease.
B. A. Worthing, of Winterset, was
taken down with the smallpox at the
City hotel. The place was at once
quarantined, the patient removed to
the pest house, all the inmates of the
hotel fumigated and every precaution
taken. The place will be kept under a
strict quarantine until it is seen as to
whether any cases originate from the
exposures.
Walter Jump has charge of the pa
tient at the pest house and from all re.
ports the case is a very light one
The public need have no fear as there
is no one running at large who has
been exposed. The case in the Sam
Gardner home is very light the patti
ent being able to eat every meal since
taken sick.
1t is believed that no further cases
will come from the exposures and if
there is, they will be looked after and
cared for so as to protect the public
from every possible danger.

considerable wealth, and who desires
to distribute every iota Of it at once

community and has always been con-

for the purpose of organizing Y. NJ.
C. A. was we'll attended by the BUSH
ness men of the town. Many plans
were suggested and ideas expressed,
but as in an enterprise of this kind,
nothing can be done at once, so COM
mites were appointed. Fred Vermilya
one of the hardest pushers of the pro-
ject, acted as chairman. A committe
on constitution was appointed as fol-
low: George w. Cosson, Harry Arnold.
F. p. Hooker, Executive, to see after
building and means, E. Bilharz, Ed B.
Cousins and Fred Vermilya. They
then adjourned to meet at three

There is no reason why Audubon
cannot have rousing organization.
Eighty-five expressed themselves will

are always arising, the chief one is
gymnasium. In most small towns
a gymnasium is impraticable, without
an instructor it is impossible to make
it thorough success. Audubon how
ever need not hesitate on such meas
ure as that. There is plenty of wealth
in the town to call on when necessary.
Dues will help defray expenses, but
cannot be too high for those they
wish to benefit
