QUEEN ESTHER IN AUDUBON.
Entertainment Given by the Metho-
dist Choir Largely Attended and
Much Appreciated.

For several weeks the Methodist
choir aided by some others under the
direction of Mr.. j. f. Henshall, have
been making preparation for the
rendering OF the cantata known as
Queen Esther, which was given at the
Presbyterian church on Thursday
and Friday evenings of last week.
While it was expected to be pleasing
and satisfactory, it much surpassed
in excellence and attraction anything
that was anticipated. For a musical
entertainment prepared and given by
local talent in u small town IL could
not be easily eXcelled anywhere.
While all the parts were good, some
of them were exceptionally strong.
People who have not had part in that
kind of work cannot form proper
idea of the amont of work necessary
To get ready for it by those who take
part. Much less can they appreciate
the labor and the management IL takes
upon the part Of the leader. Mr..
Henshall is to be congratulated upon
having such able assistants and his
success in getting and holding them
together without friction through the
hot days OF summer. Considering
the many attractions given here late
ly, the attendance was good and the
choir will realize nice little sum for
the project of erecting choir room
at the M. h. church, To which purpose
the proceeds are To be applied.

BETTER KEEP COOL.

Bro. Henry of the Coon Rapids En-
terprise advises his political readers
to "Cool off as rapidly as possible.
Lurid editorials and hot street dis
cussions ought to have ice water
thrown on them. The state is not GO
ing to the dogs. Most men and women
are still quite honest: prosperity is
still with us, providence is giving us
prospects of bumper crops of all
kinds, and most of us have rayenous
appetites three times day, with
plenty to crafty them, and such clear
consciences that we can sleep soundly
at nights. This is happy condition,
and the fellow who In spite of it in
sists on having the distemper ought
to have milestone tied to his neck and
dropped into the sea. LET US have
peace.

GRIN AND BEAR II.

A man in active life must "grin and
bear it" good many times. This is
especially true of the man who plays
the political game. Instead of being
carried to the skies on flowery beds
of ease" he is likely to be thrown in
to the junk wagon and hauled to the
political dump. If a man cannot grin
and bear defeat with some degree OF
complacency and submission he
should keep out of politics. Just now
there is good opportunity to exercise
this virtue. Col. Hepburn makes
some good suggestions when he says
Rebellion in the party is as bad and
disastrous as rebellion in the nation.
Smarting under the disappointment
of fresh defeat, men may give vent
to their feelings, but tomorrow, wher
the blood is cooler, they will look al
things from a calmer and wiser point
of view. Sulkiness has no place in
political parties. They make a mis-
take if they think they can run q
party that way. If party is to en-
dure and continue to give it's best ser
vice to the state and nation 1t mus
be recognized that the majority must
rule, and the minority must remain
loyal to whatever the majority de-
cides is best. 1t is pleasant, of course
to have ones own ideas triumph, blu
if they fail, we'must grin and bear it
We must maintain the unity of thu
party and support what it regards al
most advisable. Otherwise, we shoul,
degenerate and failure would be oul
portion at the polls"

ANOTHER DEATH IN AUDUBON.
Cyrus g. Langworthy Passed Away
Last Friday After a Long Illness.

For nearly twenty years Mr.. Lang
worthy has been well-known resid-
ent of Audubon where he has been re-
cognized as man of high character
and a good citizen of the community.
During the last two years he has been
poorly most Of the time but able to be
about the streets in good weather.
Along about the first of July he was
taken down with severe stomach trou-
BILE that Allied the skill ofhis physician,
and his streng tn and life gradually
wasted away because of lack of
nourishment as well as the assaults of
disease. On Friday about one
O'Clock his spirit took its flight and
he passed into the great beyond To
receive his reward.
Cyrus G. Langworthy was born at
Mansfield, Ohio, September 20, 1893
and had he lived until that day next
month he would have reached the age
OF 10 years. He was the sixth child
In a family OF eight children OF whom
six are still living. When he was
year old his parents moved To
Bureau County, Illinois, where he
grew to manhood. On March eth,
1861, he was united In marriage To
Mary h. Bryan who remained to give
him needed comfort and care In his
last hours and To mourn his depart
ure. To this union five children were
| born, OF whom two sons, Lucene H..
OF Sioux City, and Taylor ID. Of
Boone, are the only survivors, the
other three, Charlotte f.. George G.
and Mary Belle having died some
years ago. The last named, who was
the youngest daughter, was the wife
of DR.. A. l.. Brooks aud mother of
Miss Lucille BROOKS OF this city.
Mr.. Langworthy and family came
To Iowa In 1875 and settled on farm
near where Massena now stands.
Later they moved to Gray where they
conducted drug store. After spend
ing about year in the south, they
came to Audubon In 1899 where they
have since resided continuously. In
former years Mr.. Langworthy was
leading member of the Masonic order,
having taken the Bird degree. But
In later years was he not actively asso-
ciated with any lodge.
The funeral services were held at
three o'clock Sunday afternoon from
the Presbyterian church conduct
ed by Rev. DR.. Conybeare.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.

One of the things having a tendency
to continue the strife in the republic
can ranks in some parts of the state
is that many new men Of both factions
attended the state convention either
as delegates or visitors. And as
matters didn't go exactly to suit their
notions they have gone home with
blood in their eyes and knives in
their hands to do up somebody for
revenge. Men of age and experience
who have been through the war here
tofore, have stacked their guns and
sheathed their swords at least until
after the election in November. And
during that period they will unite in
fighting the common enemy. Some
Perkins men went home feeling pretty
sore over the defeat and may have
said some foolish things about defeat
ing the ticket. Some Cummins men
went home and, flushed with victory,
may have rubbed it into their neigh
bors little too hard and made threats
about "knifing" some fellows on the
other side. AS we stated above it is
different with men of age and exper-
fence in political warfare. When
they are licked they lie down and
wait for another opportunity. When
they are victorious they are modest and
conciliatory, knowing that they need
the votes of the other side to make
their success of any value. If any
body on either side In this county is
still little warm under the collar we
suggest that they take cold bath for a
few nights and sleep on the north side
of the house so that they may cool
off. When they reach their normal
temperature they will see that the re-
publican ticket from top to bottom is
the best there is by all odds and
should be and will elected by good
majorities,

WEDDING AT ODEBOLT.
Earl Maharg of Audubon and Mary
Davenport United in Wedlock.

AS stated in the Republican last
married at the home OF the bride near
Odebolton Wednesday August8, 1906.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Davenport, who are among the
prominent people Of that community.
And their daughter Is lady Of re-
finement, and in every way worthy of
the excellent young gentleman who
has won her for wife.
Mr.. Maharg Is well known In this
county where he has grown up and
has become one OF the leading young
farmers and stock growers. He took
advantage of the district schools and
then went to Ames where he gradual
ed last June year ago. As the jun
Tor member of the firm of Maharg &
Son he has been active in the breed
ing and shipment of stock, having on
their large farm in Melville some o.

ing In high regard among those with
whom he is best acquainted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Maharg are enjoying
their honeymoon by making trip to
Yellowstone Park. When they re-
turn, they will take charge Of the
farm and the parents and the other
members of the family will move to
town.
From the Odebolt Chronicle We
learn that the ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. J. Lewis Gillies; that the
bride wore beautiful gown OF white
crepe de chine, trimmed withreal lace;
that she is handsome and capable
young woman, esteemed by all who
know her. She also attended the State
College at Ames, where she met the

Smutney Draws a Claim

We stated last week that Edwin c..
Smiley had drawn No. 1913 of the
Shoshoni reservation, which was taken
from the report published in the
daily papers. But that was evidently
a mistake because Ed G. Smutney re-
ceiyed a card on Friday morning say
ing that he had drawn that number
and will have until August q to file
the necessary papers. During his alb
sence Mr.. Smutney visited that coun-
try and up as far as Billings for an
outing, and while there tried his luck
In registering with the above result.
He is not yet sure just what he will do

THE LARGEST BARN.

EXTEND The ROAD.

We publish an article from Ander-
son about the extension Of the Pick
ems Railroad to that point. This is
agitation in the right direction and a
consumation that is to be devoutly
hoped for. May it materialize.
The extention Of the road means
much to Pickens, much to Anderson
and much to all points along the line.
Much to Anderson because it opens
up good scope of country to her
merchants and another outlet and a
connection, by convenient schedule,
with the Southern Railway; it means
much to Pickens for it gives her
railroad facilities that will benefit her
a great deal by giving through SER
vice from the South and Florida
points and will have much to do with
making this fine resort section; it
adds much to the Importance and ad.
vantage of Easley. fors with the con-
nection of the @. & w. @. Ry. at
Anderson, freight rates would cut an
item, because goods to hor merchants
could be routed over the Seaboard
Air Line, besides the increase of
trade this road would bring within
her borders; it means much to the
intermediate section by opening up
their territory and making market
for their products.
BY oil means let's work to cxtcnt
the Pickens Railroad on to Anderson.
How does this proposition strike
the people of Anderson?
