Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1903-03-12

Our readers will notice several
political announcements in tine RE-
PUBLICAN this week. 1t seems there
are going to be several lively con-
tests for the republican nominations
for the county Offices. We hope these
contests will be carried on with good
natured rivalry and with fairness, SO
that when the convention is over the
ranks will close up at once and all
republicans be for the ticket. The
REPUBLICAN being the only news
paper of its party published in the
county is arrayed with no faction and
and shall be as fair to the different
candidates as its editor knows how to
make itr Any candidate for any one
of the Offices, provided he is good
republican, will receive his notice if
he asks for it and fair and candid
treatment at our hands.

Discovery of Purple.

A dog belonging to Hercules Tyrius
was one day walking along the sea-
shore when he found and ate a murex,
species of shellfish Returning to
his master, the latter noticed that the
dogs lips We're tinged with color, and
in this manner Tyrian purple was dis
covered. The color was used in the
robes of emperors and mobiles. and the
expression born to the purple" meant
that the person was of high birth. 1t
is strange to think that the favorite
color of royalty can be traced to the
curiosity or hunger of the dog of Tyre.

BILE shots made during the war with
Spain," said a gentleman who made an
effort to get into the thick of the
fight, twas, in my judgment, made at
Miami, and the man who fired the shot
was Louisiana boy and q member of
my company. He was doing duty as a
at night when the soldiers were reused
by the quick, clear crack of a Krag-
JOrgensen on the outskirts of. the camp.
No particular attention was paid to
the matter at first, as only one shot
was fired. But with a couple Of off,

was stationed in order to find out lust
why 1t was that he had fired at that
time of night. He explained that he
had seen man slipping through the
bushes some distance away and had
called OH him to halt He failed to
obey the command, and the guard
blazed away at him, more to brighten
him into stop than anything else.
Or course, the fellow never halted. He
was probably too badly frightened to
stop at that time.
while we were talking to the guard
we heard a fearful noise at least half a
mile from the guards station, and we
made break for the place to see what
the matter was. We heard several
people screaming as if in great agony.
Down the road we went at full speed,
and in short while we came upon
little cabin which stood on the road
side. The noise was in this cabin, and
