journal Man Not Invited.

AT last u lively little town has or
gained a Commercial Club to coop
crate, and better cope with all ques-
lions that may come up in the future,
whether OF town, county, state or nat
lonal Notwithstanding the
towns interests of course. The Jour
nal was not represented probably be-
cause it is not supposed to be of
enough Importance to the county
seat town. Mistaken idea! The Jour
nal cringes not, resents nothing and
leaves all to the people. Our readers
shall have the best of everything in
Guiding the capital city" news
whether we all see alike u not.
The above from the Extra Journal
is of some interest. Some things are
of interest that are of little Importance.
The editor of the Journal evidently
thought strange that Audubon bust
ness men did not send him a written
invitation to come up and help us
form a commercial club. We might
have sent a carriage down for him.
AS it is not customary for Extra to
invite down the Audubon newspaper
men when they desire to take any
action as a body, the reason for the
Journal editor to expect an invitation
up here was not because of custom.
Is it possible hat it was because of
an exalted opinion of his own impor-
lance? Strange as it may seem, the
commercial club is managing to get
along ''SOme old way" without his
valuable assistance.
The trick of carrying water on both
shoulders is a rather difficult one and,
sooner or later, the performer is very
liable to stumble. The Journal man
isn't skilful at it.

Vim. Russell Adjudged Insane.

Saturday July 1st. VIM. Russell was
taken before the commission or insan-
ity and adjudged to be insane, and
ordered to be taken to the hospital at
Clarinda. Sheriff Brown took him in
charge and on Monday delivered him
over to the hospital authorities. VIM.
Russell has been a resident OF the
west part of the county, where he has
nearly six hundred acres of land, for
the past thirty years. He is a quick
tempered, excitable man, who has
seemingly no control over his pas
sions, governed by impulses which Of
ten led him into trouble He was a
soldier in the civil war and bears an
honorable record. A dozen years ago
his wife, who had borne q family, left
him and secured a divorce and ali
mony, charging him with cruelty and
inhuman treatment. No charge
against his morality OF honesty has
eve been made and his reputation as
an honorable mar is good. For the
past few years his hobby has been to-
make good roads, and his m
have been spent engaged in that pur-
suit. His ability to do so is illustrat-
ed by the improved highways in the
west part of the county. This spring
he was employed by Audubon county
to work the roads of a township, and
on his return from that county he met
for the first time a young lady from
C~arlinville, Illinois, who vas here to
visit his brothers. family. She was a
girl OF twenty-four, attractive and en-
gaging in He first met her
on a Sunday and on the next Wednes-
day they came to Guthrie Center and
were married. The next day after the
marriage they went out to the big
farm in Union township, where the
novelty of being ''an old mans dar-
ling" soon r away. In a couple of
weeks the wife prevailed upon the
husband to allow her to return to her
old home for a visit. This arrange
ment was agreed to, and plentifully
supplied with money she went. She
wrote her husband that she would re-
turn to him the past week, and he
came to town to meet her but she did
not pat in her appearance. The dis
appointment weighed heavily upon
him, resulting in throwing his mind
off its balance. 1t is hoped that treat
ment at the hospital will again restore
him to health.-Guthrian.
