The Grand Army at Denver.

The American people like to travel,
and many of them find the wherewith
to pay expenses. Two months ago
the National convention of the Ep-
worth League held at Denver caused
the people to go there by tens of
thousands. Now the National En-
campment of the Grand Army is at
tracing tens of thousands more. The
daily papers claim that twenty-five
thousand have left Iowa alone during
the past three days, to say nothing of
the large crowds passing through the
state from the states farther east.
Quite a number went from this county,
Joining those from Atlantic which
sent two car loads Monday afternoon.

WEDDING IN AUDUBON.
Marriage Of the Rev. A. A. Walburn
and Mrs. Jennie Donaldson.

One OF the pleasant and important
occurrences of the week is the marri-
age OF the Rev. A. A. Walburn, pas
tor OF the M. e. church and Mrs.
Jennie Donaldson of this city. The
ceremony took place at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. K. Bilharz at one
O'Clock on Wednesday afternoon,
September the sixth, and was per-
formed by Rev. e. f. Ilgenfritz, pas
tor OF the NJ. Il. church of Atlantic,
assisted by Rev. William Stevenson,
presiding elder of the Atlantic district.
The wedding was strictly private only
the near relatives of the contracting
parties being invited, with the excep-
ton of the wives of the officiating
clergymen. The ceremony was follow
ed by the sincere congratulations of
those present and the enjoyment of q
sumptuous wedding dinner.
Mr.. Walburn is closing the second
year of his pastorate of the church in
this city, which has been so satisfac-
tory that the quarterly conference
held last week unanimously invited him
to return for another year. He is q
gentleman of fine education, holding
the masters degree from Dickinson
college, Pennsylvania, good preach
er and pastor, and of high social
qualities. He is also chaplain of the
fifty-fifth regiment, Iowa National
Guard.
Mrs. Donaldson who used to be
Miss Jennie Dawson, is the daughter
of Mrs. Hester Dawson and a sister
of Mrs. Bilharz at whose beautiful
home the wedding occurred. For sew
eral years she has been popular
assistant in the department store of
Mr.. Bilharz, her brother-in-law. If
her husband is appointed to another
charge, which we understand is quite
probable, she will be much missed in
the social and musical circles of the
city, and the Methodist church will
lose faithful and efficient organist
in which capacity she has acted for a
number of years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walburn left yester-
day for Iowa City where they will
visit with Mrs. Abrams a sister of the
bride and after that they will attend
the annual session of the Des Moines
conference which meets at Osceola on
Wednesday of next week. Whether
they remain in Audubon or go else
where, they will have the congratu-
lations and good wishes of large
circle of friends.

Mr.. Mobiles Promise Given.

In the early stages Of his ministry
the Rev. Mr.. Noble preached for some
time in village in Maine. One day a
committee called upon him to settle
with him for his services, and, after
stammering awhile, signified to him
that his further services were not de-
sired.
What does this mean, gentlemen"
asked the parson.
why" replied the spokesman, with
some hesitation, 1.-The people have got
the impression that you are inclining
to universal salvation"
Gentlemen" answered Mr.. Noble.
II never have preached that doctrine,
but If l ever should l promise to make
the people Of this town an exception"

Copied Without Credit.

We notice that the Advocate of last
week copied our article headed Gan
Unfortunate Occurrence, which gave
an account of the mistake by which
Mr.. Handles nearly lost his life, with
out giving credit to this paper. The
omission may have been made by an
oversight and rot with intent. We
are not very particular about having
credit for everything that we write,
but in this case to have it copied with
out credit would indicate to the public
that the article had been prepared by
some one else and furnished to both
papers, which is not the case.

SUCCESS THOUGHTS.

The best in others will only come out
to meet the best In you.
The man with an idea has ever
changed the face of the world.
One reason why we do not make the
most of the winning material in our
selves Is because of a magnified idea
of the great superiority Of others who
do things in the world.
AS a rule no good comes from criti-
cising others. Anybody can do that,
but the man who can accept his own
honest estimate of himself and resolve
to profit by it has achieved something.
No matter what you are doing, think
your way. Don't go without thinking.
Think everything out. Don't run with
out a schedule. Have a programme
and go by it. Think! Think! Think!
Success

Oklahoma Lands for Lease.

A big event in the history of the
Southwest will be the leasing of the
Indian pasture lands in Southwest
Oklahoma, on December 4th, next.
The Interior Department of the
United States has arranged to lease
these lands for agricultural purposes
for terms of five years, with the lessee
preference-right to release at the end
of the period, subject to appraisement
by the Secretary of the Interior. The
amount OF land to be leased to any
one person, firm or company is from
a quarter to two sections. This re-
strictiOn is designed to prevent large
tracts being controlled for grazing
purposes.
The main body of this land is located
in CaddO, KiOwa and C0manche
counties embracing tract of about
$50, 600 acres, most of which is valuable
farming land, on which cotton, wheat,
alfalfa and Kaffir corn are readily
grown. All the pasture reserves are
we'll watered and much of the land is
located along creek and river bottoms.
Rainfall in this section, this year, has
been above the average.

information desired will be furnished

Somewhat Hoggish.

There was the biggest hog in the G.

ever heard of in Iowa. The hog was
enrOute to the Nebraska state fair at
Lincoln and weighed 1850 pounds.
Quite a number of our citizens went
down to see it. In fact, so many went
to see the hog that the man in charge
concluded to charge 10 cents admiss-
ion for look at the hog. He took in

Greek word for swallow, for it was with
this plant tradition says, that the mother
bird brought sight to her nestlings.
The geraniurn comes to us from the

the ancients saw in its crimson petals the
