Miss Mollie Detwiler is home from
Atlantic spending her vacation and
DR.. Carrie was also up Sunday at

Mrs. o. G. Donaldson returned home

office and home and has ceased to wear
that far away serious countenance.

county clerks office up to Wednesday:

enridge, Peter Poulsen and Maren
Frosig, Jens Christen Nielsen and

Miss Edna Detwiler left Tuesday
for Denver, Colorado, as the dele
gate from the Young Peoples

Mae Schuber in the B grade and
Ella Hurd and Lizzie Keller in the

fall or not.
Sheriff F. L. Anderson went down
to Dubuque Wednesday to the State
Sheriffs Convention of which he is
| president Several met in Des
Noines and went from there on
together. This association has
done much good in the state. 1t
gives each an opportunity to learn
new methods of finding criminals
and closer personal acquaintance
so that they feel more inclined to
help one another out. 1t is no
small honor to Audubon county to
have her sheriff the president of
such an association and shows the
high regard with which he is held
among other officers.
w. H. Neff went out to the Brown
Ranch in Melville township last
Wednesday morning to meet the
surveyor, James Wilson, who is
running the line for the new
interurban. He is finding less
obstacles all the time for the road
and those having it in charge are
growing more hopeful as they see
the practicability and feasibility of
the road. That it will open new
territory and develop new strength
along the proposed lineis absolute
ly true and those along it's route
may we'll congratulate themselves
for it will enhance the value of
every bit of their land.
Bert Stocking has recently re-
ceived word from his attorney that
} the patent for his washing machine
2 would soon be issued to him and
then he can begin their manufac-
: ture and throw them on the market.
t His washer is similar to all other
machines on the inside of the tub
3 but he has placed balance wheel
beneath the tub which when start
bound to be labor saving device
for child can run il where it has
+ always employed all the strength
, of a woman. He has also patented
his hoops which are made stronger
and more durable than any other
, and so they can be frightened a any
! time. The casts that hold the legs
O are also new device and are held
; in place by the lower hoop. In all
it has all the features leading to a
4 perfect machine. He has offered
= the chance to Audubon to manufac-
f ture them and if a strong stock
: company is not formed it will be a
!. loss to the community.
q Although the crowd was not as
n large as was hoped at the fair
# ground on the Fourth at the county
e trOt yet the program was carried
out. Judge Walter L. Smith gave a
good address in the afternoon and
S it was we'll received. In the racing

trot of SIS, Hank Lowe received Is,
e and Vickman second. In the
r running dash $50, Sam B. Rural LIST
n Seven Ella End and Trinket third
d The racing was good and thu
s. animals made good showing
;. The balloon ascension was one O.
y the most attractive features of tn,
10 day and every one pronounces it thu
A. best of the kind they ever saw. Al
N purses were paid in full but the
10 committee had expected to hav,
Of some thing left to apply on tn,
lie arnphitheatre which is one of the
t. best in western Iowa and one tn
&c the county should take pride in
lie We give the shoot held that day il
n another column.
