A large number of pupils are absent
this week on account of sickness.
Miss Emma Wicker taught the sixth
room while Miss Hurd attended the
Kibby-Agnew wedding.
Miss Mable McKarahan entertained
a few of her school friends at her
home Saturday evening.
Chicken pox, measles, pink eye and
Group are reaping their usual harvest
in the school this month.
The Audubon teachers entertained
the friends and patrons of the school
in a delightful manner Wednesday
afternoon. Several musical numbers
were given by the pupils under Mrs.
Deitrich's directions. Miss Riggs in
behalf of the teachers extended most
cordial welcome to their guests, at
the same time declining to recognize
them as guests, but rather as COwOrk-
ers with them for the good Of Audu-
bon boys and girls. Mrs. Byron
Phelps responded most happily as
a representative Audubon woman.
AS the hour was late the election OF
officers was postponed to the next
meeting, Mrs. B. S. Phelps, Miss
Riggs and Mrs. Nelson we're appoint
ed to prepare a program for the next

pIsIocated Her shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fer
gus Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated
her shoulder. She had surgeon get
it back into place as soon as possible
but it was quite sore and panied her
very much. Her son mentioned that
he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised for sprains and soreness,
and she asked him to buy her bottle
of it, which he did. 1t quickly reliev-
ed her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days.
The son was so much pleased with the
relief it gave his mother that he has
since recommended 1t to many others.

A CLEAN of Summer Sunlight

The new train on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway passed
through Chula for the first time Sun
day night, about three hours after
dark. There was no hesitation at
Chula town, at least none perceptible
There are no high places in Chula
town, hence we question whether she
ever touched the track. She just rip
ped great fiery hole in the darkness
and left the atmosphere heated steam
hot for second, them whistled for
Mantle or Chicago, we are not sure
which. If "Central' had not been
closed, we would have telephoned to
Chicago to see if she hadn't run clean
through the Union Station. She is
sure 'nuf hurry up train" Chi
cago is only about three miles up the
track nov. She is CLEAN of summer
sunlight, vestibuled and electric light
ed trop' the cowcatcher clear back a
hundred yards behind the last coach.
She is knee deep with velvet carpets,
and her cushions are as soft as a girl S
cheek. She is lighted to dazzle and
heated to a FRAGILE. She was built to
beat the world and her gorgeous
splendor makes us chuckle to think we
have pass on her. She goes so fast
that the six porters look like one big
fat niger. She is called ''The South
west Limited" She stops, going
both ways, at Chillicothe, and you
can get on her there, but, you'll have
to hurry.

Will Smutney has a piece of furni-

a secretary or writing desk and was
no doubt handsome piece of furni-
ture in its time. The wood used on
the outside was curley maple and the
construction was without nails. Four
secret drawers were made in it in an
ingenious way. The secretary was
the property of Mrs. Mrs. Amelia M.

w. ]. Newton, who lives east from
Lorah, has recently added to his herd
of Red Polled cattle four head of the
very best blood and individual excel
lence. The purchase was made from
George w. Coleman, of Webster
City, whose herd numbers eighty head.
The purchases made by Mr.. Newton
include herd bull, Conqueror 1888,
P3, bred by Andrew brother Cedar
vile, Ohio Laura, 1892, BIZ bred
by ]. McClain Smith, Dayton, Ohio.
Dora 22nd, 1857, P9, bred by B. F.

1908, X %, bred by. B. F. Miller,
PRESCOTT Kans. Added to these are
Roxie P3 and Polly Ell, two of Mr..
Newton's own breeding, and which in
crease his herd to fourteen head.
Prices on Red Polled cattle have adj
vanced fully seventy five per cent in
the past two years and bunch of
them are now of considerable value.
Mr.. Newton's herd represents the best
OF families, and his sales, made to
breeders in different parts of the
country, are profitable to him. That
he meets with success in his efforts is
foregone conclusion when his meth
DDS are known, for he has nothing
but the tons. ---Tel0oraDh.
