Obituary.

Ella Ford was born In the state OF
Pennsylvania Nov. 20, 1852. When
but seven years old her parents
brought her to Iowa land settled for
awhile In the eastern part of the state,
but subsequently moved to IndianOla.
Miss Ford received good education
and spent some time teaching school.
March 10, 1879, she was joined in holy
wedlock TO w. NJ. Gilfillan To whom
she bore four sons, two OF whom have
passed away. Seven days after their
marriage the couple came TO Audubon
county and settled on farm east OF
town where they remained for some
years and then moved TO town where
they have since resided.
At the age OF eighteen Mrs. Gilfillan
confessed her faith in Christ by unit
ing with the Presbyterian church in
Indianola and later transferred her
membership TO the Presbyterian church
of this place. She was also q men,
Der OF the Ladies order OF Macabees.
Mrs. Gilfllan was woman OF intelli-
gence and was blessed with a bright
mind. The testimony of those who
knew her most intimately is that she
was faithful wife and devoted moth
er. She endeavored TO live con-
sistent Christian life and found pleas
ure in contributing as her means
permitted her to the cause of Christ
When we saw her at service how
little did we think she would so soon
be cold in death. She leaves behind
a good testimony and ours is the
blessed assurance that her spirit has
gone to be with the Saviour whom
she loved.
The notes above were kindly fur
nished by her pastor Rev. Samuel
Conybeare, who conducted the funeral
service on Monday afternoon. The
Ladies of the Maccabees attended the
service wearing badges appropriate
to the occasion.

SUPREME COURT REPORTER,

Hon. w. w. Cornwall of this city
will this year complete his first term
as reporter of the Supreme Court of
Iowa and he will be candidate be-
fore the republican convention for re-
nomination for a second term. He
has made splendid record in Office.
Every duty has been conscientiously
performed and the work of the office
has been kept up to date Members
of the bench and bar, of the state
strongly endorse Mr.. CORVALLIS rec
ord. Clay county and Northwest Iowa
will ask for the denomination of Mr..
Cornwall. All the precedents of the
party point to his denomination when
the republican state convention is held
and to his reelection next fall. ANY
thing less will be to fail to do Justice
to faithful and competent servant of
the state-Spencer Reporter.

MUST HAVE OUR STUFF.

1t is an oft repeated phrase of the
free trade press that if we do not buy
goods of foreign nations they will not
buy of as. This is disproved COM
pleteTy by facts as they exist today.
AT this time when, by the operation
of the tariff law, we have wrested our
own markets back from the foreigner
he is buying of us more largely than
ever before in the history of the ma
ton. Our exports were never so
large as to day. The balance of trade
was never so largely in our favor.
These foreigners buy where they can
buy the cheapest regardless of any
sentiment. The, have simply got to
have our cotton, wheat, petroleum,
corn, meats, fruits, butter and cheese
because we can produce these things
cheaper than any other people on
earth, And they will buy these
things of us whether we buy one doll.

a SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Orville Buckner Badly injured While
Going Home Friday Night.

Word reached Audubon Saturday
morning that serious runaway had
occurred on Friday night, in which
Orville Bucknera son of Frank Buck
ner of Cameron township had been
badly injured. he had attended the
Masquerade ball given by the Wood
men at Gray on Friday evening and
1t is alleged that he was arrested for
intoxication and disturbance of the
meeting for which he was fined ten
dollars and costs. AS near as we can
learn he left for home along about 3
O'Clock in the morning, but just how
the accident occurred may never be
known. About O'Clock Saturday
morning the young man was found in
the road trying to make his way home,
but with great difficulty because of
the bruised condition of his body as
we'll as the shock and chill to his
nervous system. 1t was feared at
first that he was injured internally
but up to the last account nothing
had developed to confirm such fear.
His teeth were Knocked out and his
lower jaw was broken in two places,
which will cause him to suffer for
many weeks. The team showed the
effects of contact with barbed wire
injured by the neck yoke. Such an
accident may happen to any one even
in the day time, but the indications
are that the young man was not in q
proper condition to be driving home
alone. Whatever may have been the
cause 1t is very much to be regretted.

UNUSUAL ENDORSEMENT.

While the Register and Leader and
other Des Moines political forces have
been doing what they could to dis
credit Col. w. p. Hepburn in the
esteem of the public as representa-
tive and no effort has been spared to
get some candidate to contest his re-
nomination in the eighth district, he
has achieved very remarkable dis
tinction in Congress, bringing in a
bill for the regulation of freight rates
on railways, that has met the
hearty endorsement of both republi-
licans and democrats on the Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee, and which will doubtless pass
the House by a very large majority
and will in all likelihood pass the SEN
ate. 1t will be known as the Hep
burn bill.-Anita Republican.

Death of Samuel S. Miller.

The death of Samuel S. Miller,
bon at $50 Sunday evening February
4, 1906, takes away one of the Oldest
citizens of the county. He was born
near Newark, Ohio, May /, 1914, and
had he lived until May |, 1906 he
would have been 90 years of age. On
the first day of May, 1916, he was
married to Miss Sarah Edinger, who
with five children survives. They
moved to st. Louis in 1916 and lived
there until 1853 when they came to
Davenport. In 1887 they removed to
this county and lived on the farm
until 1900 since which time they have
made their home in town. The child
rem numbered an even dozen, consist
ing of seven boys and five girls but
only three of the boys and two of the
girls are now living. Prot. A. A.
Miller, Principal of school No II In
Davenport, and Mrs. Esther Domoney
of Aurora, Kansas had been here for
a week or more before their fathers
death and were present with the moth
er at the funeral. The other children
are Chas. ID. Miller, who recently
moved to Appomattox, Virginia,
Lewis Miller and Mrs. Dell Heath of
Goodwill, Oklahoma.
Though Mr.. Miller was over 80
years he was frequently seen about the
streets walking as rapidly as many
men who are in the prime OF life
About two weeks ago he had the mis-
fortune to fall down stairs and injure
himself so that he continued to decline
until death came to his relief The
funeral services were held at the
Evangelical church Tuesday after
noon conducted by the pastor Rev.
c. d. Wendell, and his BODY was
laid to rest in the Audubon cemetery

TO REMOVE THE CIRCLE.

Senator Smith of Mitchell. has in
PRODUCED a bill providing for the re-
moval of the circle at theI head of the
official ballot 1t ought to pass. It
is in the interest of free choice in the
voting booth. If the circle is any
advantage to any party it is at the
sacrifice of untrammeled selection.
Partisanship may claim that voters
who would otherwise Scratch are
led to vote straight" for fear they
will make mistake that will in
validate their ballot. Anything that
interferes with the free choice of the
voter in the selection of candidates
for every Office in which he has a
voice is partial defeat of the ends
OF popular government. Certainly no
man assuming to speak for the repub-
lican party of Iowa is warranted in
asking for any unfair advantage in
view of the record of the election
tables. 1t may be urged that no
change ought to be made because the
voter has become familiar with the
present form of ballot. This change
would be in the line of simplicity and
accuracy. AT every election at al
most every polling place ballots are
now spoiled in part or wholly by
voters who forget whether or not to
use the circle where candidates in
more than one column are chosen.
When the circle is eliminated and the
only way to vote is to place a cross
at the name of every candidate Sc
lected, from the beginning, mistakes
will be minimized. There will be only
one way to vote and no confusion can
conspire against the privileges of the
voter. Knock out the circle. Spirit

A BOOT-BLACk TRUST.
Has Been Organized Right Hero in
the Town Of Audubon.

During the last few years we have
heard and read much about the
trusts" and their Ubiquitous pro-
ceedings; and most of us have talked
ourselves hoarse at one time or an
other in favor OF putting them down,
grinding them under the heel of pub
lie condemnation But while we were
doing this trust was being formed
right here in Audubon and done so
quietly that even the most sensitive
antitrust nostril in the community
didn't get scent of it. The editor
of this paper had't mistrusted that
anything unusual was going on until
two of the boys hailed him the other
day for "shine" GLOW much do
you charge nowadays?" "Ten cents"
said the boys in unison, as each one
made a lunge for one of our shoes.
"Ten centsn exclaimed the editor as
he fished around in an empty pocket
book to see if he had that much of tn Q
Ready John Davis" left after max
ing up the weekly pay roll; eyes,
you bet" said the boys. "We have
formed a trust and any boy who
breaks the rules will get his box bust
ed and have his backing taken away"
Hdb drOuSeu our lHb6FeSb anu while
they worked and talked we found out
that the boot-blacks of Audubon had
organized what they call the A. B. B.
Club of Audubon with a brief and
positive constitution and bylaws as
stated above. They did a good Job
and we paid our ten cents--five for
the work and five for the benefit of the
trust. We understand there are no
rebates nor determinations permitted
and the same charge is made for a
short haul as for long haul, no mat
ter whether the roads are muddy or
dry. The membership as remembered
by the boys is as follows: Homer
Booton, president, Harry Carlyle,
vice President, Stewart Chapman,
Howard Ulrich, Lake Ulrich, Will
Roth, Walter Roth, Fred Johnson,
Leo Booton, Thos. Carlyle, Bernice
Carlyle Henry Berg, Bood Berg,
Boice Mushrush, Walter Gleason,
Sc tn Mather, Porter Mather and Sor-
en- Nelson.
