Theft From c. & N. W. Depot.

Claus Hansen, son of G. II. Hansen,
junk dealer, Is in jail and awaits the
action of the district court to act on
the request of his parents to send him
to the reform school. The immediate
cause is the stealing and breaking
open Of freight box at the c. & N.
w. depot.
The box was one assigned by q
Chicago paper house to Mott Il Mills.
The agent had checked the goods over
and had left the car open Tuesday
morning so the drayman could deliver
them. AS 1t was rainy the goods were
left there till afternoon and when de-
livered were seen to be one box short.
Wednesday morning Mott & Mills
complained of the shortage and Mr..
Humiston and his helper found the
empty box and few scattered calling
cards under the depot. He turned the
matter over to Deputy Sheriff John
Rutherford, telling him that the Han
sen boy had been seen in the vicinity.
The Hansen boy was arrested, con-
fessed and his parents made applica-
ton as above stated.
The goods consisted of 1000 calling
cards, two composing sticks, mallet
and printers rule. They had been
put up in box once used by gro
Gerry having a label pasted on one end
which led the boy to think the box
contained candy, and that is said to
be why he opened 1t. The Hansen
boy was accompanied by two smaller
boys and perhaps assisted by them,
but not materially. He evidently did
the work and then finding the contents
of the box was not candy, but mostly
cards, he gave some of them to about
half dozen smaller boys. SO the
little fellows were well supplied with
ladies calling cards. AS they we're
stolen goods when the panic came
they disgorged and concluded they
wouldn't go into society now.
The affair should be a warning to
some boys and their parents. The
way Of the transgressor is hard.

The Primaries Called.

Last Saturday the republican coun-
ty central committee met and fixed the
date of the Audubon county primaries
for August 20. The call appears on the
first page of this issue. That is the
Monday before the fair. 1t is at a
time when the farmers will have time
to attend. 1t gives ample time for
the preliminary campaign. This will
be the first trial of the primary sys-
tenn in the nomination of the county
ticket in Audubon county. The sys-
tenn is eminently just and fair and we
hope will give satisfaction. The re-
publicans of the county are going to
have splendid field of men from
which to select their ticket. A ticket
will no doubt be chosen that will be
satisfactory to all republicans.

Mrs. Walburn's Death.

| Tuesday at Ills a. m. Mrs. A. A.
| Walburn, who had been so low for
the past week, gently breathed her
last. although her death had been
expected for the past few weeks, yet
our community was moved by the
announcement, which was made by
the tolling of the bell at the church.
Mr.. Walburn is pastor of the M. e.
church of this city. They came
among us last October, coming here
from Coin, Page county. Mrs. Wal
burn being in rather poor health,
never became acquainted with very
large number of our people, but those
who did know her were impressed
with her devotion to her family and
to the church, and with her kind dis
position and christian spirit.
She had been In poor health for O
year or so, but it was not until within
the past three months that her friends
We're really alarmed about her con-
dition. Her trouble was what Is
known as Addison's disease, a fail
ure OF the system to furnish blood
and consequent starving of the body.
There seemed to be no relief. For the
past few weeks death seemed certain
to come soon. She knew it and faced
the situation bravely, being sustained
by her christian faith. To her death
was simply transition where she
would meet those waiting for her who
had gone before. .....
Ella Myers Walburn was born near
Carlisle, Penn, being the oldest
daughter of DR.. G. w. Myers and
Eunice Pearson Myers, and was A
years, 10 months and three days old
ut her death. She was educated In
the public schools of Carlisle and also
in the Millersville state normal school
of Pennsylvania, and at the time OF
her marriage in 1885 was a teacher In
the public schools of her home town.
Immediately after her marriage. she
came west with her husband who then
joined the Des Moines conference.
Four children came into their home,
Francis Emma, Helen Alburta, Stan
ley Ash and Harold Aubrey. Francis
Emma died at Missouri Valley at the
age of six years. The rest of the
children and the husband and her
sister, Mrs Francis Hosler, of Car
Isle, Penn, were present at her death.
She united with the Episcopal church
in her girlhood, but on her marriage
she at once joined the Methodist
Episcopal church. She was very
much interested In all church work,
es pecially in the missionary cause.
The funeral services will be atthe M.
Il. church this afternoon at 3 O'Clock.
The sermon will be by presiding
Elder Stevenson, of Atlantic. Rev.
Franklin, pastor of the North Des
Moines church, and formerly presid-
Ing elder here, will also be preset
and assist In the services. The body
will be at the church from IL to 8 when
the friends may view it. The family
will accompany the body to Missouri
Valley this evening on the G. &. N.
w. and interrment will be tomorrow.
The sympathy of the community is
with the stricken husband and child
rem In this sad hour.

The Maquoketa Sentinel.

We have had the reading of a copy
of the Maquoketa Sentinel of the spec
ial edition which it recently published
celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of
its founding. 1t is an elegant edition
and credit to the publishers, the
Swigart brothers, who by the way are
the sons of the founder of the paper.
The edition contains a great deal of
interest to the early settlers of that
part of the state. Among other mat
tiers referred to is the connection some
of Maquoketa's early settlers had with
the Canadian uprising in 1888, known
on the Canada side as the Rebellion
and on this side as the Patriots war.
1t is remembered by few of our
very Oldest people now living that in
1888 there was an organization in some
parts of Canada whose object was to
overthrow British government there
and to attach the provinces to the
United States. They were encouraged
by an organization on this side along
the north borders of New York and
Ohio. Several went over from this
side to assist. The uprising did not
materialize to as great an extent as
was expected and the affair failed.
Several men had hair-breadth escapes
from Canadian authorities, some were
captured, few put to death and few
banished to VanDieman's Land, from
which far away country some after
ward escaped. Maquoketa came to be
place of settlement for several who
were engaged in that famous uprising.
One at least of those who were Danish
ed settled there. These events have
special local interest here as many
Audubon people are related to men
who participated. Grandma Coles
husband went over from the Ohio side
where they were living then and took
part in the contest. He was gone two
or three months and was wounded In
a skirmish or battle. Mrs. Cole re-
members his absence well. She was
just young married woman then,
sixty-six years ago. The father Of
William and John Davis lived in
Canada then and sympathized so much
with the movement that soon after the
trouble was over he thought the eli
mate in this country better than the
Canadian, and moved over. Some of
John Wards relatives were also in
volved in the affair.

The Fourth was very quiet in Audu-
bon. Most of the people went to
neighboring towns that celebrated,
Extra, Gray and Manning. Many
also went to Luccock's Grove and
others to Viola Center. Rev. Coney-
beare was the orator at the Grove and
the Grafton pleased the people very
much. Hon. Geo. w. Cullison at
Extra, Chas. S. White at Gray and
Rev. Mccormick at Viola Center had
good audiences, and we hear were all
appreciated. So far as we have heard
the day was practically free from ac-
cidents in our county and was time
of general pleasure.

Bert Freeman's Injury.

Bert Freeman is laid up ut home
with broken leg. Last Friday even
ing several boys were near the electric
light plant and were engaged in gym
nastic exercises. Among other things
they were vaulting over pole. After
some who were used to that exercise
had tried some others who were un-
trained were trying 1t, and Bert was
among them. The pole was not at all
high. They were lighting on bunch
of weeds to break the force OF the fall.
Bert lighted on his feet but in some
way his foot slipped on the weeds and
the bones snapped of just below the
knee. He was brought home on a
stretcher, one bone sticking through
the skin. DR.. Jackson set the bones.
j. F. Frazier and family spent the
Fourth at his home In Atlantic.
