Mrs. Walburn's Fune raj.

II had never happened before In tn,
history of Audubon that a residen
pastor or his wife had met death here
and though the day set for Mrs. Wal
burns funeral was rainy and disagree,
able, large number of our people
looked their last time upon her silen,
features as she lay In state from IL to
in the Methodist church last Thursday
surrounded by myriads of beautiful
flowers. AT 3 O'Clock the congrega.
ton assembled and Rev. Hughes, OF
Atlantic, opened the services by read
ing very impressively from the scrip.
lures. Rev. Slothower, of Shelby,
offered prayer touching all hearts.
Presiding Elder Stevenson preached
an able and appropriate sermon. Rev.
Franklin, pastor of North Des Moines
church, long time friend of the Wal
burns, gave the biography and spoke
strong and tender words of eulogy,
and Rev. Graves, of Council Bluffs,
altered the closing prayer. The regu-
| lar Methodist choir furnished the
music. The whole service was one the
church will long remember for its ten
derness, solemnity and helpfulness.
| The flowers were many and beauti-
full. Among the finest were a cross OF
white roses from the Commandery, a
cross of pink and white roses from the
church at Coin, Coates Ajar" of pan
sizes shaded from white to deep purple
from the Home Missionary society,
a sheaf of red carnations from the
Foreign Missionary society, sheaf OF
| pink and white carnation from Ladies'
Aid society, roses, lilies and carna-
tions from the Epworth League, a star
of pansies and pillow from the Jun
ior League, a pillow of sweet peas
from the Christian church, and many
beautiful offerings from individual
friends of the family sent with the
warmest words Of sympathy.
The family went from the church to
the train and Friday laid their dead
by the side of her daughter at Mis-
souri, Valley where beautiful services
were held and old friends did all that
was possible to comfort and care for
the bereaved. Rev. Walburn and
family returned Monday and were met
by delegation of his people who had
striven to make the parsonage as
cheerful and homelike as possible for
their reception. The sympathy of the
whole community is with them in their
lonliness and grief.

AUDUBON, Iowa, July

AUDUBON, Iowa, July 18th.
We, the Ministerial Association,
having banded ourselves together for
mutual edification and comfort in the
bonds of christian fellowship, are
brought face to face with the great
fact of the mutability of human affairs
in the demise of sister Ella M. Wal
burn, the beloved wife of our cola
borer, Bro. A. A. Walburn.
Realizing that the devoted wife and
fond mother is the queen of the home
and the crown of her husband, and
that in the loss of his wife our brother
and his family have sustained an in
estimable loss, expressing to them our
heartfelt sympathy, we commend them
to the God and Father of Our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of Mercies
and the God of all comfort, who COM
forteth us in all our Affections, and
we humbly pray that this marah in
their soujourn of life may be sweeten-
ed by the promise of Christ so that it
shall become a never failing spring Of
tender and cheering memories.

Crop Bulletin.
For the week ending July IL, 1904

FOR the week ending July Ii, 1904.
Des Moines, Iowa.
Ihis has been cool, wet and
cloudy week. The daily average de.
hclency in temperature was about )
degrees. In all parts of the state
showers were frequent and the fields
were too wet for farming operations
four or five days. With haying and
harvesting at hand and the corn crop
needing cultivation, this hindrance to
Held work caused some anxiety and
depression. The crop outlook, how
ever is materially brighter than at the
corresponding date in 1902 and 1903.
The corn crop in the southern and
central sections has made fair prog
ress, more than half being laid by in
good condition. In the northern dis
tricts there is need of considerable
more cultivation, and a smaller per-
centage has been laid by. The cool
weather has been favorable for small
grain generally. Oats, spring wheat
and barley have not suffered material
damage as yet from rust or lodging,
and these crops give promise of an
average yield of good grain. The
meadows and pastures have been ma
terially improved. Potatoes are very
thrifty. Apples are promising.

Harlan Republican: I'll. w. Byers
and SON James got home from Ann
Arbor, Mich. Saturday morning last.
James was graduated from the law
department last week. There were
1900 students in the university last
year, and several hundred graduates.
Friends of the graduates and citizens
of the city made an immense crowd
at the final exercise and, no measures
being taken to reserve seats for the
parents of the graduates, many of
them failed to see their children
graduate after going hundreds of
miles for the purpose. ~ beginning
July the legal firm of Byers & Lock-
wood will be reorganized and enlarg-
by the addition of James Byers, son
of the senior member of the firm,
thereto, the firm name being Byers,
Lockwood and Byers. The son is a
bright and capable young man, just
graduated from the law department
of the University of Michigan.

Rock Island officials Here.

Tuesday morning thefollowing Rock
Island officials visited Audubon: Di-
vision Freight Agent Eberhart, Divi.
sion Passenger Agent Farmer, and
Division Superintendent Smalley.
They came in Mr., Smalley's private
car and remained in town from the ar
rival of the morning until the depar-
ture of the noon train. During that
time they were in consultation with
Judge Green concerning the petition
recently sent in asking for better train
service. They also called on several
OF our business men.
They were investigating the condi-
tions and so far as they were concern
ed individually they seemed anxious
to do something to relieve the situa-
ton here. They said it would be
worth their positions to them perhaps
IL they should recommend another
train on the branch, for that would
mean considerable more expense. AS
u measure of relief they propose to
have the morning train, instead of
leaving Atlantic at 7 O'Clock, to leave
at 6;l5 and arrive here at 5 instead of
S:45, and the return train, instead of
going back at 1901 to go back at $50
q. IN.
The advantages in these changes
would be that passengers could make
good connections west from Atlantic
and reach Omaha soon after noon and
also that our morning mail would
reach here three quarters of an hour
earlier. To try to keep the morning
train nearer its schedule time they
propose to have freight shipments to
Extra made in separate cars when
ever possible and the cars set out so
as not to hold the train for the check
ing out and unloading of the many
articles of freight. These gentlemen
will recommend these changes to the
managers and hope to get them made.

E. r. Guthrie, a Nebraska State
University student, is canvassing
Audubon for the Century Book of
Facts" 1t is book of about 600
pages and is in the nature of an ency-
clopedia, except that it is meant to be
handy reference work in the facts
oftenest needed by the student, the
reader, or the ordinary citizen. 1t is
quite up to date and makes one say,
"if you don't know where else to find
it, look here" The range of subjects
is very extensive, science, politics, lit
erature, law, miscellaneous, etc. The
index is good. 1t is valuable book
for ones reference library.

P. A. Rasmussen received three an
cient, interesting and valuable coins
the other day to add to his collection.
One of them is coin of the ancient
government of Parthia and is suppos-
ed to have been made about SO A. D.,
or 1850 years ago. Mr.. Rasmussen's
collection now numbers about 400
pieces and includes some from about
all the leading modern nations of the
world. Many of them are one, two or
three hundred years old. His United
States coins go back to colonial times,
there being some of Virginia, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and other colo
MES. He has just received series of
new Philippine coins. Mr.. Rasmus-
sen commenced making this collection
when he was mere boy and although
he has never had to spend very much
on it, yet by constant accession it is
becoming very valuable.

Normal in Session.

Audubon county teachers are enjoy,
ing very successful session of coun.
ty normal which commenced Monday.
The enrolment is l2i, which is al.
ready three more than last year and
the probability is that there will be
several more coming in before the end
of the session, which is the last OF
next week.
Perhaps the most interesting event
of the week in the normal was the lec-
ture OF the State Superintendent Tues
day evening and his talk in chapel We'd
nesday morning. Mr.. Riggs deliver
ed lecture elevating in thought, in
spring, scholarly and eloquent. His
talk in chapel was happy and practi-
cal. His presence was benefit to
the teachers of the county.
The new high school room and the
improved condition of the other rooms
and the modern conveniences of the
entire building and its attractiveness
help much in adding to the pleasures
of the session.
An Audubon county normal without
Prof. Repass would be some like Ham
let minus the great tragedian. Mr..
Repass is always there and seems to
belong there. 1t seems natural to
have him lead the music. Prof. Hook
er is about as much of fixture as
Mr.. Repass, and his calculation of
mathematics and physics is continu-
ing to make what was dark seem light
the same as OF yore. Prof. Wood is
also becoming fixture here at our
normals, and II Is we'll, for he Is I'M
surpassed in clearness of explanation
and demonstration. Miss Stearns Is
in her natural element teachieg read
ing and grammar. Her splendid
qualifications are we'll displayed here.
Prof. Minis was giving some demon
strations to his physiology classes
