abroad
If the school board can find room
for any more pupils in our public
schools than the city can furnish they
will gladly do so to outsiders at a
nominal cost.

are seeking such information we are
auth orized to publish the following
prices that will be charged per month.

II must first be understood by any
who wish to patronize our public

must first be looked after, and II there
is room for more, then, and only
then. would their application be con
sidered.

Goldman Bros circus appeared Mon
day and the verdict OF our people is
that It was the best performance ever
given in Audubon The parade given
at 10 a. m. received many favorable
comments and their menagerie con
tains a large collection OF rare and
costly animals. The performance had
many novel and startling features.
The arial juggling. tumbling,
trapeze trained elephants and
cake walking horses are superior in
their line. Special mention must be
given the Dahns a lady and gentle
man, wire walkers. They turned
somersaults. waltzed, etc. Wertz and
Adair's acrobatic feats we're loudly
applauded John Rooney and John
Willis did some wonderful somersault
riding The performance was given
in three rings. The features we're
too numerous to mention but there
gas no act given by an inferior per
former to fiji in as many of our shows
do. The proprietors believe in con
Quoting business honestly, no grafters
or short change being toleraed with
their show. No show has left a bet
ter reputation.-Audubon Advocate.

- Are We Denaturalized by Habit?

Julius Norregard in Success.
 One of the healthiest signs of the times is the way in which the younger genera ton, and some of the older are turning their thoughts to the country life The ideal of cities the money ideal. Is on the wane Young men everywhere are ask ing themselves, 'Is It worth while, when with less money, we can be just as hap Apy, nay! far happier and do the work and live the life we really loveg' We are all in revolt. literary men amongst the rest-in revolt against brick and mortar and pen and ink Says Marcus Aurelius in one of his medtations Tn the morn ing when thou rsest unwilllngly let this thought be present: I am rising to the work of human being But 1t is to be feared that this counsel has lost its force for most modern men and wo- men; for how many of us can say at rising "I am rising to the work of a human beng?" On the contrary, If we are honest and not towards we are com pelled to say that we are rising too often to work entirely inhuman ana unnatural work artificial. wearisome and unprofita- ble; work in which we take no pleasure, unless, indeed. we have become denatur- alized by habit, and work which we do merely because we must, or think we must if we are to go on living at all.

DEAD CITIES.
Many American Towns, Once Popu-
 lous, Are Now Abandoned.
From the Chleago Inter- oeean.


 From the Chicago 1nter-Ocean.
 Not in the old world alone is to be found the silent Amyclae" over which Virgirs two words have kept scholars puzzling for 2,0OO years. In this United States we are wont to think so new, there are scores of dead cities' Nor are they prehistoric. Many of them rose, fiourished, declined and died within the memory of living men, and most of them the spade of the excavator will never dig up. They have vanished completely. In this era are published some rambling notes of score of these dead cities. Ma turally most of them were mining towns, and when the mines, producing a crop, that can not be renewed, were exhaust ed they died. Some of them. such as Bannock and Virginia City in Montana, were even political capitals. Now there are fewer than fifty people in Bannock and fewer than 100 in Virginia City. Then there was Bodie. Cal, which less than fifteen years ago had COCO people, and whose mines had paid in five years $22. GOO. 900 in dividends. The mines failed, the town was deserted, and few years ago fire swept the site bare
 But the failure of mines does not ac- count for the death of all these dead towns. Springfield. Kas.. was once large enough to build a $20000 schoolhouse and to put in waterworks. At last accounts there were 200 houses and fewer than 100 people in the town. and the hydrants were hidden in the prairie grass. At Saratoga a $3O.O0O theater finds none to tread its boards save the wandering tramp At Fargo Springs the s2o,O0O schoolhouse bell rings when the wind is strong, but no children come. These dead Kansas towns are the fading mon uments of an error of observation as to the normal rainfall of the western part of the state.
 Ancient Troy was found to be buried in its own rubbish That also was the fate of Yam Hill. In the latter fiftles it was a prosperous sold camp. The placers there were exhausted, but new ones were | found further up the stream. The impa- tient gold seekers deserted the old town and built new one. The earth and gravel from the new placers were wash ed down upon the town and covered it's buildings. Now. only the gable of large 1 livery barn emerges from the soil to show where Yam Hill was Perhaps, when Macaulay's New Zeaander comes to sketch the ruins of London bridge. an antiquarian colleague may dig up Yam IIin and draw all sorts of conclusions as to the civilization of prehistoric Amer iea
 Nor are these dead towns to be found in the mining and semiarid regions only. At the junction of the Savannah and ] Broad rivers in Georgia are now only | fields of grain and grazing sheep. Yet ] there once stood Petersburg. a regularly laid out and prosperous town of the days before railroads came. Now there Is not q single house upon the site. and the 1 wheat grows where was the public | square. The railroad unmade Peters burg, as it has unmade dozens of other towns after first making them.

INCREASED SURPLUS.
Birmingham Trust and Saving Co.'s Is
 Now $15o,oo0.

The prosperous condition of the banking business in Birmingham Is happily illus trated by the latest action taken by the Birmingham Trust and Savings company.
 This prosperous and growing bank paid it's usual semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent on July 1. and in addition passed s25 GOO more of the earnings to it's surplus account.
 It was in pursuance of the settled con servative policy of the bank to hold the dividend at the old and safe rate of 6 per cent per annum and to let the additional and extra earnings go to. swell the sur plus fund, which is always just that much additional security 10 depositors.
 Its capital and surplus of s625,000 stand. ing as a guarantee to depositors and tc those confding to 1t the execution oi trusts, has now been increased to s650, ,000
 The capital Is s5O00O0 and the entire sur plus of sl5O.00O has been added out of th' earnings.

BANTAM HEN RAISES SNAKES.
Hatches Thirteen Striped Adders and
 Is Naturally Puzzled.
Nunda (N. Y.) Dispatch in the New XorL, Herald

Nunda (N. Y) Dispatch in the New
 York Herald.
 Several weeks ago one of the residents of Smoky Hollow found thirteen adder s eggs under a decayed stump, and, plac- ing them under a bantam hen, awaited re- suits. In due time the ielucking mother matched out thirteen striped adders. The brood was different from the downy darl- ings which she had previously reared. but the faithful bantam accepted her trust, and did the best she could under the cir cumstances. Several of the strange brood fell a prey to the family cat and others re- ceded from civilization and took to the woods, but six of them are still following the puzzled bantam about the premises in the daytime and at night sleeping In the straw nest in which they were matched. The wrigglng brood have become suffi- ciently domesticated to respond to the clucking of their foster mother.

jured. Perhaps the worst wreck that l was ever in, was on Christmas night, just ten years ago. I was on the run between Birmingham and Nashville. At a station about ten miles this side of Nashville, some drunken negroes had turned loose several coal cars which had run down on the main line mile or two and stopped.
 Our train was going at forty miles an hour when. we struck the cars The en- zine and all the coaches were ditched with the exception of the two rear Pull man cars. The cab and the express car was burned. Although the train was loaded with people, not a single one was killed. With the exception of the en- gineer. who was badly sealded, everyone on board escaped without injury. It was one of the worst wrecks I ever saw, and l considered it almost a miracle that number were not killed.
 Tn speaking of other subjects, MT. Allen said: Capt. Jeff Falkner is one of the most popular men connected with the Louisville and Nashville railroad. He is universally liked by all the employees of the road and they would all be de- lighted to vote for him for governor. United States senate, or any other office to which he might aspire"

AN ALL-STAR TEAM.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel. The football season Is now thing of the past and in accordance with the time. honored custom we beg to suggest the following talent for an all-star football team:
 Center rush. Andrew Carnegie. His long experience in the iron and steel bus mess has made him unyielding, and owing to the vast number of books he has given away he looks mighty good on paper
 Right guard. Russell Sage. This gen. tleman guards everything that comes within his grasp in such a consistent, strenuous manner that is the only logical candidate.
 Left guard Iet. Green. Second only to Russell on the guarding proposition
 Right tackle, John D. Rockefeller who has tackled everything in the country with marked success
 Left tackle. J. Pierpont Morgan. Any thing that gets past John D. is pie for him.
 Right end, Charles M. Schwab. He has clearly proven, although he started out in life with a beggarly salary of 1 million dollars per year. that a man is certain to come to the right end.
 Left end, William Jennings Bryan. No- body will deny MT. Bryan this honor, which he earned in two hard presidential campaigns
 Quarterback, Nelson A. Miles. He is a cool, brainy general, and also covers a good deal of ground at times, as, for in- stance on the occasion of his recent ride. He is strong on interference.
 Right halfback, Barney Oldheld. Ow- ing to his great speed, he stands alone as claimant for this position.
 Left halfback, Lou Dillon.
 Fullback, Colonel Henry Watterson Noted for the fierceness with which he bucks the color line and the smart set and splendid on the offensive Mascot Harry Lehr -ft1t

RUINoUS RATE CUTTING.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 The Pittsburg man who sold his ear for s500o to a millionaire who needed It is now offering 5000 for another ear to take it's place. He has become tired of going through the world as a marked man and Is scheming to strike a bargain whereby he may remove his disagreement and at the same time net s4OoO profit on the complete transaction.
 There can be no question as to his right to sell in the dearest and buy in the may not be such as to command the ad- miration of right-minded people yet from a purely economic standpoint he cannot be denied the privilege of seeking to bear the ear market now that he Is on the short side
 But, leaving his personal interests out of the question. it is difficult for any body having the welfare of the common people at heart to refrain from hoping that those who have ears to sell will hold out for a higher price than this Pennsylvania man Is willing to pay. The man who sells him an ear for s1OOO will naturally expect to buy another ear so as to make a profit, also.
 This being the case, he would not be willing to give more than $2Oo, and maybe not more than $100, for an ear to take the place of the ear he had parted with. The man who sold to him would probably, in order to make profit. offer no more than s25 for new ear and thus prices would be cut by each ear buyer until ears might be selling in short time as low as 30 cents.
 If the ear trade is to become a profitable one for the seller as well as the buyer, and if commerce in ears is to rank with other legitimate pursuits, the traffic can not be left in the hands of those who may be prompted by cupidity to demoral- ize 1t by ruinous competition.
 There should be brought about a gentle mems agreement to prevent cut-throat rate-cutting, so that those who have ears to sell may be protected against those who have ready cash to pay for them. The industry is in it's infancy and it needs the fostering care of a wise tariff ar engagement
