He Forgot the Horse.

Among the many good people the
editor has had the opportunity OF
meeting since he came to Audubon, he
IL pleased to find number from
Pennsylvania, his native state. After
little talk with J. =. Nedrow OF
Lincoln township, we found out that
both were born and reared in Som
erset county, and both of us have been
away from there about forty years.
Both of us remember some OF the same
people very we'll, one OF them being
Prof. A. j. Stutzman who was for
many years county superintendent OF
schools, very capable man but u
unique character. Among our effects
somewhere we still have our first
certificate TO teach, issued by him in
the fall of 1863. One Of the stories
told about "Uncle Joe"-and Mr..
Nedrow says there is no doubt about
the truth OF twas that he borrowed
horse one day to ride from Sails
bury TO Myers Dale, a distance of
IL or 20 miles, attended To his bust
ness, forgot the horse and walked
home. When his father-in-law, to
whom the horse belonged made In
quiry, he admitted that he had for
gotten the horse but that he. would
go back and get him, and actually
did walk back and ride him home the
same day. He never owned a horse
himself and was so used To walking
that II was an easy matter for him to
forget the horse. The county was
large one but there was no school so
far away that with cane in his hand
and compass In his pocket he did
not find and pay 1t a visit. He was
an adept at figures and used his abil-
ity Ia that direction for many years
In the treasury department at Wash
ington prior to his death which
occurred but few years ago.

LAW FOR AUTOMOBILES.
Important Decision Rendered by
the Supreme Court of liIlnols.


The use of automobiles outside of
cities where the horses get used to all
kinds of sights and sounds, is really
quite serious question. They are
here and here to stay, and the number
of them will increase rapidly as soon
as they can be purchased at more
reasonable price. But how to get the
horses used to them is the difficulty.
And there will seemingly be no end to
it because new set of young animals
Is being broken every year. AT pres
ent good many people in town have
sold their carriage horses rather than
run the risk of accident To their fam
lilies. And in the country many wo-
men who have driven frequently to
town on business or pleasure are not
permitted to go alone because sold
Bilp' or Nancy" would be just
scared to death at sight or hearing of
an "Automo." IL will require the
greatest care and patience to get this
matter adjusted and regulated in u
way that will be safe and satisfactory
The following article taken from the
Sioux City Journal will be OF interest;
The Illinois supreme court has rem
dered decision which probably will
be taken as a precedent In other states
which have laws regulating the speed
of automobiles. The Illinois suit was
u suit for damages alleged to have
been sustained by the occupants OF n
carriage which was overturned In n
runaway following a meeting with an
automobile. Illinois has u law sim
liar to that OF Iowa, limiting the speed
at which automobiles may he driven
in the public highways and requiring
that drivers of such vehicles shall use
special precautions to avoid frighten-
ing horses. The defense was based
upon the theory that automobiles can
not be asked to take precaution not
required of the driver OF teams and
that the effort to enforce such regula-
tons must be construed as class legis-
lation.
The Illinois decision Is against the
automobiles on every material point.
The court sustains the right of the au-
tomobilist to use the public highway,
but insists that such use of the high
way Is subject to whatever regulation
the state may care to impose. The
speed limit of fifteen miles an hour,
fixed under the Illinois statute, is de-
clared to be reasonable. The Illinois
law, like that of Iowa, requires that
the driver of an automobile must stop
when signalled to do SO by the driver
OF d team. The court upholds this re-
quirement, but rules that in u case Of
damage, the fact that the driver OF II
team has failed to signal is not ma
terial. The gist OF the decision is
that the driver of an automobile who
uses public highway, is required of
his own accord to take all steps nee
essary to protect other users OF the
highway against damage. IL the au-
mobilist fails to do this he may be
held responsible for damage due to
his neglect.
The Illinois decision seems to In
volve common sense, as well as good
law. 1t Is based on the same princi-
pie that justities the punishment OF a
horseman who INDUCES in reckless
driving. The highways belong to the
public, and everyone who uses them
must do SO In a seemly way, causing
no unavoidable risks to others.

Iowa Crop Bulletin.

The general weather conditions have
been favorable for the rapid advance
ment of corn toward maturity. In
answer to a circular of inquiry as to
the probable time when the corn crop
will be safe from harm by frost, var
ious opinions have been given by
crop reporters. The crop is more
than usually variable as to stage of
growth, ranging from the milk to the
denting period. Generally it may be
stated that for fully matured crop
there is need of frostless September,
with normal temperature. Probably
80 per cent will be practically safe by
September Goth to 18th, and the bal
ance needs the full month. The crop
is more advanced in the northern dis
tricts than in the southern. The
season has been thus far more favor
able than last year. Pastures and
vegetables have been kept green and
growing. The apple crop has steadily
declined. Conditions are favorable
for blowing. Late potatoes have had
favorable condition of soil. Thresh-
ing has been retarded and some wheat
and oats in shock injured by wet
weather. Wild hay and aftermath

Mr.. Walburn invited to Return.

AT the fourth quarterly conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal church
of Audubon held on Monday morning
by presiding elder Stevenson, the
pastor, Rev. A. A. Walburn was
unanimously invited to return for
another year. This action Is compli-
mentary not only to the minister but
to the church membership as we'll
Mr.. Walburn Is in the prime of life, a
good preacher and pastor, and u
good manager Of the material affairs
of the church. He Is also u gentleman
of fine education, holding the masters
degree from Dickinson college, which
is one Of the excellent schools of the
state of Pennsylvania. 1t will be
gratifying not only To his own church
but To the people in general To have
him returned To this charge for another
year but we understand the probable
tiles are that he will be promoted to u
better place.

MARRIAGE AT BRAYToN.
Prot. Robinson and siss Belle Hard
man United in Marriage.

Many friends of the contracting
parties have been much interested In
the marriage of Prof. Vincent j.
Robinson, of Harlan, aud Miss Belle
Hardman which occurred on the 23rd
OF August at the home of the brides
parents at lakewood Stock Farm near
Brayton. The bride is the second
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. j. Q. Hard
man who are we'll known residents.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
q. T.. Nichols of the Christian church.
Following the tender of hearty con-
CALCULATIONS q picture OF the wedding
party was taken from the porch when
the guests partook OF the generous
wedding feast. When five o'clock
came, the newly welded folks shook
hands, kissed their parents goodbye
and amid u shower OF rice, ole shoes
and parting blessings they we're con-
veyed 10 the depot at Brayton where
they boarded the Rock Island train
for Des Moines TO attend the state
fair, then to Missouri Valley to visit
relatives, a call at the parental home
near Oaktield, then out to Harlan
where the groom will till his fathers
half.section OF land, and where they
will build a new home. These excellent
people who were recipients of many
fine presents commence life with good
prospects and the best wishes OF many
friends.

Secretary Shaw a Good Driver.

When Secretary Shaw arrived at
Denison early last Thursday morn
ing, he found the driver of the car
riage sent to meet him so sound
asleep that he was not wakened by
the kissing of steam nor the rumble
of the train. Instead of losing his
and roastiug the driver he
quietly mounted the box and did the
driving himself. When he reached
the home of his brother-in-law where
he was to stop, he reused the driver,
paid his fare, and added one more to
the numberless good stories with
which he illustrates his speeches, and
entertains his friends.

A Compromise Candidate.

The Avoca Tribune wonders why
Walter /. Smith wouldn't do as a
compromise candidate for governor,
and rightly says that he is one OF the
biggest men in the party and his ideas
on public questions are as sound as
an American dollar. We hear a
good deal said about compromise
candidate for governor, and we wish
SOMEBODY would explain what they
mean by such statement. What need
is there for such candidate? What
compromise does anybody want to
make? Our own opinion is that we
should nominate some good capable
and upright citizen of the state who
has the ability, the integrity, the ex-
perience and the gumption to make a
good governor, and one whose re-
publicanism has never been question
ed.

BRING PICNIC TO AUDUBON.
Where Thousands of People Assemble
Without any Such Trouble.

The great amount of beer and other
intoxicants brought to the picnic last
week and sold, causing a great deal
of drunkenness and a number of fights
was q most disgraceful act, and I'M
less something is done to prevent a
repetition of it in the future, the Old
Settlers picnics will be poorly at
tended, if not altogether abandoned.
1t is claimed that as many as 200
cases of beer were hid in corn field
near by the grounds and some beer
even retailed on the grounds. Where
it came from may not be definitely
known but it is generally thought
from Carroll. Next year officers
should be placed on the grounds and
instructed to arrest any man found
selling or giving away liquor, and all
liquor found contiscated. Rap

Two Sidesto the Question.

Among a certain class of politicians
it seems to be the thing to set up a
howl about the railroads and try to
make the people believe they are be-
ing Systematically robbed by those
corporations. SO far as we can see
the railroad companies are doing
business in about the same way they
have for many years; and the wonder
is that it has taken those men so long
to find out how corrupt and rapacious
the railroads have been. We think ii
would be of interest If they would re-
late their experience and let the world
know what has brought about such a
change of heart. The Atlantic Tele-
graph discusses this matter in the fol-
lowing article, which is we'll worth
a reading at least:
Granting that the two eminent gen.
tlemen who spoke at the recent Chau-
tauaua, MesSrs. La Toilette and Cum
Minis, are sincere in their views and
that they really believe that the rail
roads are one of the greatest in
huences for evil in political life that
confronts the American people today,
nevertheless we are fully persuaded
that there are two sides to this ques.
ton, and that the facts will bear out
the statement that the railroads have
been the greatest blessing that has
come to the people Of Iowa. Iowa is
an agricultural state and not manu-.
featuring state and what Iowa people
want is what will do Iowa's agricultu-
raj interests the most good. Have the
railroads of Iowa been benefit to the
Iowa farmers? Are they at present q
benefit to- the Iowa farmer? AS mat.
ter of fact, are they not the greatest
factor in developing lowa's agricul-
tural resources? These are questions
that are worthy of consideration.
Take for instance the butter, eggs and
poultry of Iowa, Why is it that an
| Iowa farmer can send his produce 10
Philadelphia, New York, Boston and
other eastern points and compete with
the eastern dairymen who live hun
bred miles from these great centers OF
| business? There is but one answer to
this question, which is radical rail
way discrimination in favor of the
| Iowa farmer. liz distance railway
tariffs were in force, freight rates on
these articles would become prohibit
tive and the eastern farmer could
place the price where he desired and
the Iowa farmer would suffer as there
would be a marked decline in the
price of these staple articles. 1t is
right that the private car evil, re-
bates and private terminal abuses
should be abolished but the Iowa far.
mer should be the last man TO insist
on placing general rate making power
in the hands OF the Inter-stat com
merce commission, whose right tc
hold that position is dictated by one
man.

LANDS IN MINNESOTA.
Fine Opportunities for the Nome
seekers to Secure Cheap Lands.

A golden opportunity presents itself
to the homeseeker in the sale of Mime
sofa lands, which will take place dur
ing October and November OF this
year. Approximately 260,0 900 acres
will be sold under the state laws of
Minnesota and the terms on which
this land is sold are such rs to permit
II man OF small means to secure for
himself % home Of his own. The
lands will bo sold ut public auction TO
the highest bidder. But ID per cent
Of the purchase price needs To be paid
at the time OF sale The balance may
run for forty years mt per cent an
nual interest IL desired. Bear In mind
that the settler Is dealing with the
state Of Minnesota and that the title
to all state land Is perfect, making this
an uncommon offer. The lands own
cd by the state OF Minnesota are dis
tributed particularly in the northern
part Of the state, some In rich wheat

state, and in the main, will grow any
thing that is Indigenous To the soil,

Toner has charge of these sales and

well as specific terms OF sale will be
