Certificate of Mr.. SearIes.

F. d. Searles, republican candidate
for Member of the Board of Supervl-
sors, worked for the Cedar Rapids q
Marion Ry. Co. several years and on
quitting the company gave him the
following certificates:
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Sept. p, 1897.
This is to certify that Mr.. F. D..
Searles has been in the employ of this
company about five years as conduc-
tor and motorman. During that time
we have found him faithful, honest
and Industrious and we can recon-
mend him to any person desiring to
employ him. F. L. DESIRENS, Supt.
Mr.. Searles leaves our employ on
account of poor health. His position
is good should he desire to return.
The Advocate has chosen to attack
Mr.. Searles personally and among
other things to say that he does not
stand we'll among those who know
him best. In refutation of that we re-
Gently called the attention of our
readers to the fact that at the primary
Mr.. Searles received 96 of the 1O3
votes cast by his township. That al
most unanimous vote was teStimonl-
al by his neighbors truer than the warp
ed and false accusations made against
him by the Advocate. In further ref
utation of the Advocates attacks we
now publish certificate of the COM
pany he worked for when he was in
Cedar Rapids. 1t is all that could be
desired. The Advocates charges are,
as it's personal campaign charges
mostly are, untrue.

District Court.

Judge Thornell opened court Thurs
day evening. A hearing was given
the plaintiff in the divorce case of
Stuhr VS. Stuhr, parties of Lincoln
township, and Mrs. Stuhr was given
1926. 90 temporary alimony. The case
will come up soon.
Indictments were returned against
NJ. T. Fiscus and Philip Baker 'charg-
ing them with larceny of a watch from
WeightOn's barn. 1t is not known
whether they will be tried this term or
not. Young Mr.. F. r. Lefingwell is
also under indictment for lewdness.
He plead guilty.
The Henry Schrieber VS. M. T. FO-
ley case was tried the fore part of this
week, being an appeal from j. II.
ROss's Justices court. 1t was over
some hay. Plaintiff had been granted
forty some dollars in the lower court,
but defendant appealed. The jury re-
turned a verdict in the district court
for $500. Blume was for plainti fl
and Graham and COsSOn for defend
ant.
The Swim VS. Robson case is now
on, having already run two days. II
is retrial granted because of errors
made at the former trial, when the ju-
ry gave plaintiff verdict for $3.50.
The case grew out of the divorce case
of about two years ago of Robson VS.
Robson. In that case it was alledged
by Mr.. Robson that intimate rela-
tiOns existed between Mrs. Robson
and Mr.. Swim. Mr.. Swim claims a
damage to his reputation because OF
the charge. The parties are all OF
Audubon township. The series OF
cases and trials have been sensational
and disreputable things have devel-
oped. 1t will be remembered the mur-
der of young Robson was thought to
be connected with some of these cases.
Swan, Bruce & Heigler are for plain
tiff and DeLano and Graham for de-
fendant.
Court will likely adjourn this week
as the Judge has to go elsewhere next
week.

AN HISTORIC SPOT is SOLD.
Natty HamlIn Homestead, where tn
First Settlement In Audubon Coun-
ty Was Made, Changes Hands.

Special in Register Leader
A deal was cOnSummated here re-
Gently which is deserving of more than
passing notice, being the transfer of
the spot where the first settlement in
Audubon county was made, and known
as the Natty Hamlin homestead, to
SOren Andersen for the Extra Flour
ing Mill property. At an early date
in 1851, Nathaniel Hamlin, his father
James Hamlin and David Edgerton
turned their faces westward and came
to what is known as Troublesome
Creek, in section thirty five, Extra
township, where Nathaniel Hamlin
Staked off a claim, made the first set
tlement in the county, and where he
risided until his death which occurred
few years ago.
Uncle Natty's widow and her family
resided upon the old place until few
years ago when Mrs. Hamlin built her
a home at Extra and moved from the
farm, and her son n. d. Hamlin and
family continued to reside there, but
now the old homestead has passed in
to other hands, and Douglas Hamlin
will move to Extra to be at the head
of the Extra FIGURING Mill.

Flax is IS cents per bu., oats %,

Political Meetings the Past Week.

Congressman Smiths meeting at the
court house last night reminded one
of old time rallies when people filled
the streets and crowded the halls and
cheered the speakers. The Trouble
some Valley Equestrian club was up,
a number of young ladies and gentle
men. They carried torches and ban
ners and made pretty parade.
brakes martial band gave the music.
The court room was crowded full, even
the standing room being occupied.
Joe Ross introduced the speaker in an
appropriate speech. Judge Smiths
speech was able, interesting and
satisfying. 1t met all the leading
points the democrats are trying to
make and completely refuted them. 1t
was pleasant to listen to and was en-
livened by humor. Judge Smith is of
full congressional size. The Ninth
district is proud of him and will give
him bigger vote than ever we believe.
The other meetings in the county
have been well attended Cosson's
speech at Kimballton is much
praised. The crowd was good.
Consul Hanna at Gray had q
big meeting and his speech was
greatly enjoyed, being out of the Or
dinary and quite a treat. The meet
ing at No. s. Hamlin, was all right
for a school house meeting.
The Equestrian club is to be at the
Brayton meeting the End.

Football.
Oct. 22nd: at Harlan.

oCI. --lu. dG IldIldu.
Audubon's football team met its
first defeat of the season at the hands
of the Harlan squad. But the boys
came back, not chagrined but elated,
as theirs is the first score against
Harlan this year, and the only touch
down against her in two years. The
Harlan team will average 10 lbs.
while Audubon will hardly tip the
beam at 145. Outweighed at least %
pounds to the man, Outclassed by the
superior training and condition OF
their opponents, handicapped by lack
of material and support, it is not a
little strange that the result is not
different. In one respect at least
Audubon was equal to Harlan. 1t was
game, and every inch made by Harlan
was earned. Harlan has very strong
team and, for Il high school team, is
unusually heavy. She is. making a
strong bid for the state championship
among the high schools, and the game
next Saturday at Harlan between
that school and East Des MOines High
School will in a measure, decide the
matter. In two things Harlan has
state wide reputation: its being the
home of Hon. Webb Byers and its
football team. The town is proud Of
its team and is generous in the sup
port of it. On the other hand the
local school is putting out its first
team in years and it is only by hook
and crook that enough men are gotten
out to run signals. While the team
as whole did excellent work, the
work of E. Kile and McGinnis was of
stellar order: the former by his
ability to get at the man with the ball
and the latter by his tackling and his
10 yard run. Rippey on wide end
run with a squirt of his old time speed
made a touchdown. Barring a few
minor bruises the boys returned in
good condition. The thirty mile ride
over rough roads did much to put
them in poor condition for the game.
Harlan made most of her gains on end
runs, although at times her line
smashes were effective. Audubon
necessarily played defensive game.
Harlan has splendid team work and
the interference run by her backs is
extremely hard to break up, Barring
the high wind, it was good day for
the game.

Sterling VIII Have No Factory.

Sterling Will Have No Factory.
No beet sugar factory will be built
in Sterling during the current year,
and in all probability factory vii!
| never be built there. The Advocate
, states in its last issue that "the par
1 ties who were to build the factory in
| 1904 conditioned upon the test crop OF
| 1903 have decided and so announced to
our people that under the circumstan-
ccs they do not feel Warranted to erect
factory at this place for the present,
at least
While the unsatisfactory test of the
beetS raised in Logan county last year
is given by the factory people as the
reason for not building Il factory in
Sterling this year, it is believed by
many that the real reason lies in the
fact that the sugar beet trustS-the
Havemeyers and the OXnards-have
formed close combination and have
Colorado. If this is the case, the ter
rilory will probably be divided and
each company will work that part of
the state which lies closest to its own
factories.
We extend our sympathy TO our
Logan county neighbors in this their
time of misfortune. We had hope d
that they would secure a sugar factory
this year, for we believe that whatever
helps to improve any part Of the South
Platte valley is bound to improve every
part Of 1t, and Il sugar factory in Logan
county would of necessity benefit
Sedgwck county. However. we join
The Advocate in suggesting that the
people OF that county, and the people
Of Scdgwick county. rs well, abandon
the cultivation Of sugar beetS, and de.
vote their attention to other lines of
ia are profitable crops aud they can be
ra Scd with much less labor than sugar
beets. Besides. there is no question
but that cantaloupe5 and all other
melons, potatoes and cabbage, can be
grown successfully in this locality,
and the returns in each will probably
exceed those which might be rect ived
from sugar beets under the most ia
vorable circumstances.

Water Users Hold Meeting.

A meeting Of the water owners
of tho Petersen Canal company
was held in the Office of County
Judge Frey last Tuesday after
noon. The attendance was large,
there being about thirty owners
/ of water rights present.
The meeting was called to ord
| er by ]. A. Dawson, who moved
that V. Deich be selected as chair
man. This motion prevailed, as
also did motion made by w. E.
Coumbe for the election of G.. NJ.
Harris as secretary.
After the officers had been Sc
lccted the object of the meeting
was stated by Mr.. Dawson. In
short, this object was stated by
Mr.. Dawson to be to decide upon
some plan by which the existing
condition Of things could be rem
edied. In his statement Mr..
Dawson reviewed the negotiations
which his committee had conduct
ed with the ditch company dur
ing the last few months, which
negotiations had not resulted in
the adoption of any plan of re
lief. His committee, Mr.. Daw-
son stated, had reached the limit
of their resources, and now desir-
ed further instructions as to what
course to pursue.
A general discussion followed
Mr.. Dawson's report, in which
various suggestions were made
for relief, one meeting with con
S derab,e favor being a suggestion
that relief be sought through tho
courts. However, action was de,
ferred for the time being in order
that an effort might be made tc
organize district and purchase
the rights Of the present company
in the ditch. To do this Il com.
mittce composed Of the following
men was selected: Johu Holmes
John Elhart and Fred Wright.
This committee Will report at {
meeting to be held next Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock, in the
county judges office. Should the
report of the committee be un
favorable to forming district, il
is likely that a plan will be adopt
ed to seek relief in the courts.
