To the Public.

to the public | should write few
lines in regard to my candidacy for

here, having come here twenty-seven
years ago, before Audubon was laid
out as town. | met with many OBJ
stacles, being poor man with large
family of small children to support.

with some success, and am thankful to
the people for their support in the
past. | served four years as marshal
of Audubon, which work was similar
to the sheriff's work, and / leave it to
those acquainted with the facts if the

republican and have taken an active
part in all campaigns in behalf of the
party. The days were never too
stormy or the nights too dark and dis
agreeable for me to go when called
upon to go for the party's interest.

paign and IL elected will serve the
county so the best of my ability.

ster were married last evening at the
home of the BRIDES parents at Lewis,
Cass Co. 1t was quiet wedding, only
few friends being present. They
were accompanied from here by the
groom's sister, Mrs. Pound.
The bride has been living here for a

to be lady of graces of person and
of character and we predict she will
do her part in making a happy home.
The groom is one of Audubon's best
young men, having lived here from
childhood. He is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. /. p. Baker. He is one of those
substantial young men you can depend

10 THE DELEGATES TO THE REPUBLI-
CAN CONVENTION OF AUDUBON
COUNTY:
AS a candidate for nomination for
county superintendent of schools this
form of Introduction is taken that
there may be an acquaintance and
consideration. Never before have |
sought a favor at your hands. AS to
qualification and fitness few facts
may not be inappropriate. In COM
mon and graded school work | have
had several years experience in Audu-
bon and Harrison counties. This,
coupled with considerable experience
as an institute instructor, has been of
practical value. To any position held,
invariably there has been reelection
at the expiration of the contracts.
For two years have held state certi-
ficate granted at Des Moines. In en-
deavors to perfect myself in my chosen
work special study of advanced and
improved methods has been constantly
made. AS an Audubon county citi-
zen, born and raised here, a republi-
can faithful to the principles of the
party, | feel free to ask favorable
consideration at your hands; willing
however to serve the best interests Of
the party in whatever position you
may see fit to dictate, | am,
Yours for republican harmony and
success, X. G. LANCELOT.

The weather was somewhat against
them but there was IL good crowd out,

Trouble In the School.

The community has been agitated
the past few days by trouble in our
high school. One member of the grad
uating class has been expelled, an
other member suspended for this year
and sixteen others suspended for this
week. Friday Supt. Hooker was
necessarily absent because of sickness
in his family. Friday afternoon eigh-
teen members of the high school were
absent. Monday morning these eigh-
teen were dismissed and later were no.
titled to appear that evening at the of
flee of the secretary of the school
board. Here they were questioned as
to the reasons for their absence by
board and teachers. That night the
board actes as stated above.
The talk about this has pretty much
monopolized the town conversation
the past few days. There has been
much criticism of the pupils and of
the teachers, and some of the board
board put on the punishment too
it was necessary to sustain the author
ity of the teachers, else order and
government would be broken up.
The complications are inumerable
and il we attempted to give them we
would be accused of partially. Some
of the pupils were absent by the con-
sent of their parents. Some were alb
sent to play, others to work. The
board claim the severity of the pun
ishment was not for this offense alone
but also for previous ones. Most OF
the patrons want authority and gov
eminent to be maintained at school
and they also ask that it be main
tanned with judgment and tact and
that punishments be in moderation.
