With this clear evidence that an
attempt would be made by the ruling
powers to take from US the control of
the convention, we went to the Court
House at the appointed hour. Let me
say right here, that ] was not afraid
that the majority Of the stand-patters
would Intentionally cOuntenanCe any
thing unfair, but | had good reason
TO fear what committee consisting
of Toulouse, Elliott and BRENNAN
might do when in control of the CON
VentiOn. II the majOrity of their own
party could not control them ont of
the convention, surely they could not
in the convention.
Mr.. BRENNAN came into the con
VeutiOn after one O'Clock and went
out, then came in again and was re-
QueSted by gentleman near me to
call the convention to order, but he
instead OF doing SO, went out again.
He was evidently making some ar
engagements, but there was nothing to
arrange if he wanted to give US fair
play, and not practice some trick or
scheme.
A fLer II minutes after one O'Clock,
! concluded to exercise my right as a
member of the convention to call it to
order. No person well informed on
parliamentary law will deny the author
ity of member of convention to
call it to order after the time of con
veuing had arrived, and the right of
the convention to convene itself. IT
this was not the rule the county chair
man could prevent a convention from
being held at all.
Ordinarily Mr.. BRENNAN would
have been entitled as a matter of
courtesy. but not Of right, to recon-
mend a chairman, to the convention,
but he had no right to force upon it
as chairman, man opposed to every
thing that ma jOrity wanted even if he
had been a member of the convention,
aud | believe now that my action pre-
vented their being two chairmen on
the floor trying to carry on rival CON
yentiOns at the same time.
The best evidence of this is that a
number of honest and excellent men
in the end permitted themselves to be
formed into another convention under
the leadership of Elliott and Brent
man; and the further fact that in the
Carroll County convention, where
according to the NOnpareil Perkins
only had delegates out of 1877, con
test was gotten up, rival convention
formed, and an attempt to put the
county in the Perkins column.
la conclusion | would ask every
fair minded stand-patter: Is it not a
fact that Cummius carried the county
know they will answer, Yes. "
Then were not the Cummins men en-
titled to the chairman? Yes. And
were they not entitled, to the State
delegation? Yes. Then what did they
take but that to which in all fairness
they were entitled and which ought to
have been conceded to them, without
a contest

Reception to The Teachers.

The reception given to the teachers
attending the Normal Institute, by
the Commercial Club last evening,
was a decidedly pleasant affair. AT
ter hot day light breeze was blow
ing through the trees of the park
which made it most refreshing and
comfortable. The weather was just "a
bout as perfect as we find in the mar
ket any where or any time. The
schoolma'm in their snow-White
dresses among the trees made
pretty picture. Fred Vermilya as
president of the Club had the affair
in charge. A short pros gram was
given, the Misses Brown and Doak
and Mr.. Brenton furnishing good
music and attorney Graham, Prof. Re
pass and Supt. Mantz making short
addresses. Ice cream was then served
to the teachers free, and to others
who cared to pay for it. We are
sure that the teachers will remember
the ospitality of the Commercial
Club and the reception with much
pleasure for many years to come.

THE NORMAL INSTITUTE.

The Normal Institute opened
promptly on time Monday morning
with a good attendance, which during
the day increased to more than hun
dred. The instructors were all pres
emit and the work is going on with
regularity and success. We have
frequently heard it said that the open
ing of a teachers institute is sure to
bring rain. The heat and dust of
Monday with the two weeks of dry
weather we have had made it very de-
sirable and necessary that it should
prove true this year. And we are
glad to know that on Monday evening
the heavens opened and the rain de-
Scended in CopiouS showers for sever
a hours, until the ground was thor
oughly soaked. The coming of this
rain was just in time to prevent
shrinkage in the crops. 1T is always
a blessing to have the teachers with
US whether it brings rain or not but
sometimes their coming brings
double benediction. But don't forget
the institute. Go and visit the reg
ular session. 1t will encourage the
instructors and help the teachers.
Then remember the lectures. On Fri
day evening OF this week, Prof. +. h.
Palmer of Jefferson will be here and
give one that will be entertaining and
instructive. We heard him last year
and were much pleased. Then on
Tuesday evening of next week Edwin
A. Nye, of Des MOines, will deliver
lecture that no one can afford to miss.
Mr.. Nye Is an orator who can enter
tain an audience at any time and any
place.
We got this far last week but was
crowded out for lack of room.
superintendent Planners Lecture.
Prof. f. E. Palmer, superintendent
of the city schools of Jefferson,
lectured before the Normal Institute
last Friday evening to the pleasure
and profit of i'll who were present.
His topic was the esprit and Great
ness of Service" based upon the
statement of the Master that 'Whoso-
ever will be great shall be your minis
shall be servant of all. " 1t is the min
istration of service that redeems life.
1t is not in the strength of muscle, the
warmth of heart, nor the development
OF Intellect, bat in the spirit of service
that lies the reward. While the teach
er is worthy Of his hire, and should
earn the salary he receives, he should do
much more by the quality and sac
ritice of the service he gives to the
children under his care. Mr.. Palmer
is gentleman of large heart, and
board generous spirit. His lecture
was not only pleasing in manner but
eleVatlng in tone and character.

REPUBLICAN, PRIMARYELEcTIoN
Held June 20, 1906, to Select Dele
gates and Nominate a County
Ticket.

The Audubon County Primary
Election was held in the afternoon
and evening of June 20, 1906, to nOmi-
nate candidates for the different
offices on the republican county ticket,
and to select delegates to the county
convention called to meet i'll Audubon
last Saturday June %. AS shown by
the official vote given in another
place in this paper, the primaries
were we'll attended. The campaign
has been vigorous on the part of most
of the candidates and the fight was
continued until the polls were closed.
The contest for delegates to the
county convention raised the tempera-
ture 10 some precincts, and few in
diViduals were like volcanoes belch
ing forth fire, ashes and saliva. But
for the most part the battle was en-
tirely good natured on both sides
and the result accepted with good
grace by those who were defeated.
While the vote was all Que way in
some townships, it was very close in
several others. And it may be well
enough for the vIctOrS to remember
that the change of just a few votes
would have given the county to the
other side. The result was good
deal of a surprise to both sides.
Until few weeks ago it was conceded
that Mr.. Perkins would carry it with
out question and up to the last
only few Cummins people felt con
tident of success. Over confidence,
with consequent lack Of orgauiza-
tlOn and work upon the part OF the
Perkins side, gave the superb organ
ization and day and night work on
the part of the Cummins men an OPP
portunity of which they made the
most possible. The total vote cast
was just about 400 The county
ticket nominated is exceptionally
strong and one for whose success
every republican will work and vote

Obituary of Mrs. LaF oy.

AS stated in our last issue, the re-
mains of Mrs. Erastus LaFoy accom-
panied by the bereaved husband,
arrived in Audubon on Monday
morning of last week and were taken
to the home of her sister Mrs. John
Butterton until they were laid to rest
in Maple Grove cemetery on Tuesday
forenoon.
Mrs. Laura Belle Sheets-LaFoy
was born at Brooklyn, in Poweshiek
county, Iowa, June 3, 1880, and died
at Milestone, Canada, June 10, 1906,
at the age OF rs years. She was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Q.
Sheets who came to this county when
she was about two years old. On the
first day of December, 1897, she was
united in wedlock with Erastus LaFoy,
who, with three young daughters is
left to mourn the loss of wife and
mother.
Mr.. and Mrs. LaFoy lived on a
farm in this county until in March
1904 they removed to Milestone, Can
ada, where they were still living at
the time of her death, which followed
surgical operation. The funeral
exercises were conducted from the
Evangelical church by Rev. M. j.
Conner, former pastor, but now of
Pierson Iowa, assisted by Rev. G. ID.
Wendell, and the body laid to rest
beside other members of the family
who had gone before, The mother
and two sisters had preceded her, but
she left father, two brothers and
two sisters, besides her husband and
children to grieve over her early
death. Mrs. John ButtertOn of Au-
dubon, Freeman of Fort Collins of
Colorado, Charles F. and Golden E.
were all present to pay their last
tribute of respect to their dead sister.
Mrs. LaE'oy was converted early in
life and continued Steadfast in the
faith until called to go and be at home
with the. Lord. She was a faithful
and obedient daughter, a devoted
wife, an atfectionate mother, and
much beloved by all who knew her.
Her departure was peaceful and full
OF hope.
1--WE gaze on thy face so white, so
still,
Here lies the form of one we loved so
we'll;
Thou wilt be missed-no tongue can
We bow our heads with breaking
And say farewell forever; No not
forever,
Well meet again, when life's day is
over,
To part no more, no more, forever;
Farewell, till that celestial morn"

AMERICAN WAGONS EXCEL.

Official Gazette of London, Eng.
contains Field Marshal Roberts re-
port on the field transport in South
Africa. In the course of his report he
speaks in the highest terms of Ameri-
wagons, saying: Wagons imported
for trial from the United States
proved superior to any other pattern,
either of Cape or English manufacture
They were built by the Studebaker
Company. The superiority of these
wagons is doubtless due to the fact
that mule wagons are largely used in
America for the carriage of goods as
we'll as for military transport and the
manufacturers have learned from
practical experience what is the best
type of a wagon and what are the
most suitable materials to employ in
building it. 1t may be added that the
wagons in question cost considerably
less than Bristol pattern wagons"
The United States again leads all
competition. At the beginning of the
war in South Africa the British war de-
partment secured wagons of various
kinds for the transport service and
after a thorough test the wagons
built by the studebaker Bros. Mfg.
Co. have been found to be superior to
all others. The above report bear
ing upon this subject was issued by
Lord Roberts to the British Govern
ment, and is dated April 2, 1901.

important consideration. Willis T.

Cuba and two years in the Philippines
and being subject to colds, took DR..

other physicians of the city, operated
upon MIR. Samuel Curtis by amputat-
ing his right arm above the elbow
For several years Mr.. Curtis has
been troubled with sore hand which
became more and more affected by a
"ancerOus trouble which SO crippled
his hand as to make it of very little
use. The necessity for such an Oper-
alton is very much to be regretted,

suits may follow.

Supt. Earauhar Watched. !,

The Normal Institute held its last
chapel exercises this morning at ten
o'clock. Closing remarks were made
by all of the instructors and the sup
erintendent, when he called upon the
next superintendent" to say a word
to those with whom she would soon be
associated in an official way. Miss
Stearns spoke feelingly of the work
she hopes to do if elected, and refer
red in high terms of the administra-
ton OF Mr.. Farquhar. Having done
this she perpetrated a surprise upon
him for which he was wholly unpre-
pared. After a beautiful address
upon the giving of gifts, she present
ed Mr.. Farquhar with an elegant gold
watch and chain in behalf OF teachers
and instructors, as an expression of
their appreciation of his work as a
superintendent, and of their high re-
gard for him as friend and a gentle
man. Mr.. Farquhar was all broken
up and found it difficult to express his
thanks for the beautiful present, and
what he cherishes still more, the es-
TEEN and good will of those with
whom he has been associated.
