AMOUNT THEY DISTRIBUTE
Number Of Pieces Of Mail Handled
BY Audubon Carriers

a recent order from the Postma ster
General has lightened the burdens of
the rural free d9livery,carriers, espec-
tally on the heavy routes. The order
was to the effect that all carriers who
had received and distributed five thou
sand or more pieces on their routes
might discontinue keeping count of
pieces of mail given out and taken up
They do continue, however, to keep
track of the letters and parcels regis
tered, the application for money or
ders and the stamps sold; this affects
routes two, three and four. The route
carriers from here are:
WILLIAM NJ. KEESE, Number One
April 4374; May, 1863; June, 1914
HERBERT F.. WHITE, Number Two
April, 1893; May, 1850; June, 6575.
JOSEPH WOODLAND, Number Three
April, 1922; May, 56SS; June, 623S
CHRISTIAN BERG. Number -Four
April, 1881; May, Sl42; June. 1894.
EWALD A. G. REUSS, Number Five
April, 5075: May, 5154; June, 1910.
JAMES KEIGHTLY, Number Six
April, 1897; May, 1919; June, 4l55.
This shows number four to be the
high route, with number two second.
Number one is low and shows so small
that it is getting very near the danger
line of discontinuance and its patrons
will have to bestir themselves and take
a few more daily papers or they may
may lose their service. Number five
was above the five thousand mark, all
but June when they fell behind. Mum
Der six, too, is doing better than it
has and needs only a few more dailies
tomake upthe necessary five thousand

Joint Freight Rates

The Iowa Railroad Commission,
after careful consideration under the
act of the last general assembly, re-
Gently gave out joint rate schedule
for shipments going over two or more
roads in the state. Hitherto these ship
ments have been charged for at simp-
ly the sum of the two short rates. Now
they must be made at charge not eX-
ceeding eighty per cent of the two
local rates. They also fix a minimum
charge of twenty-five cents, when it
has been fifty cents to one dollar,
merely adding the minimums of twenty
five cents for each road.
rSThe new arrangement took effect on
July first and will be a great relief to
inequalities in freight rates heretofore
imposed upon shippers. AS it has
been shipment of say two hundred
miles one line has enjoyed a lower
rate than shipment of the same dis
lance over two or more roads because
the shorter distances being subjected
10 higher mileage rate when added
together make a larger total than the
charge for the whole distance on one
line. The basis ofyeighty per cent OF
the local rates was believed to be a
fair average of adjustment. The joint
rates will not apply to shipments OF
less than twenty-five miles.

WORD FROM CANADA. /.
j. j. Courtney Writes Cheerful
Letter About Conditions up There.

Mr.. l.. G. Kopp of Ross hands us a
letter he received last week from his
old neighbor Mr.. Courtney who NOV
ed up TO Canada about three years
ago. Mr.. Courtney says: We had
IL long winter with lots of snow and a
late spring with lots of water. 1t was
may Is, when we went into the field to
work, but the weather has been fine
since then and the crops are looking
fine, but we are about a week behind.
We did not get in as much crop as we
expected. We have so acres of oats
and 200 acres of fax. The flax is
worth ST.. IL by the car load. Wheatis
worth 20 cents, and oats 80 cents.
Horses and hogs are worth all you
want to ask for them, and cows about
5000. / have field of timothy, al

a Pleasant Surprise

That was pleasant surprise the
friends of Doctor Charles Burnside
worked off on him, Tuesday evening,
With planning aforehand they decided
to have the doctor invited out to sup
per and after the guests had assem-
bled at his fathers house call him
home to meetthe invaders face to face,
and that without warning. The plan
worked like charm under the manip-
ulation of Doctor Brooks who was
anxious just then for company TO visit
case in the country. When Doctor
Burnside entered the home to find
Doctor Brooks he met some forty or
fifty of his friends to whose cordial
welcome he at once capitulated. Light
refreshments were served and all the
guests enjoyed most pleasant even
ing.

CONTRACT FOR NEW WELL
Is Made And Signed BY The City
Council Of Audubon

After wrestling with the question of
additional water supply for many
months the city entered into q contract
yesterday with a Mr.. Dougherty, of
Nodaway, Iowa, to put down new
we'll. He will begin the work about the
middle of August and will probably
be able to complete the work in six
weeks. The size is to be twenty We
feet in diameter and thirty-fve feet in
depth, and the cost of it three thous-
and dollars. To the uninitiated the ex-
pense of it seems to be extremely high /;
but we are assured the council has Sc
cured the lowest terms possible from
any parties who are prepared with the
means and machinery to do the work
in satisfactory manner. One item of
cost that is somewhat uncertain and
expensive is that of pumping out the
water that flows in while the excava-
ton is being made. 1t is earnestly
hoped the contractors may have good
success in putting down the we'll and
the people of Audubon may be fur
nished with an abundant supply of
water.

DEBORAH CHAuTAUQUA
Comments of the Republican of that
City About Men Who Will be Here

Decorah's Chautauqua came to
close Sunday evening after a very
successful week. AS whole the en-
tertainments we're good and some of
them were distinctly high class. This
is particularly true of four lectures
Gov. Hoch, Father Then, Rev. Geo.
l.. McNutt and Peter MacQueen, the
traveller. Speaking of the lectures of
Hoch, Then, and McNutt one of our
citizens pointed out the fact that each
one spoke along the same line and
when they had finished, the ends
could be gathered up and tied togeth
er and the four made symmetrical
whole that was remarkable in that
none knew what the others were to
talk about.
Father Then came Thursday after
noon to large audience and gave an
address that was scholarly and clean
cut, though some could not agree with
what they chose to characterize his
socialistic views. He was late in arr
irving so that the Royal Hungarian
Orchestra were given good hour in
which to please the people.
In the evening Rev. Geo. l.. McNutt
spoke, Garretson jiggled excuse us)
juggled, we meant, the orchestra play
ed. Rev. McNutt is a rugged talker
he goes at the heart of things and
calls spade by its first name. He
spoke agnin Friday morning and both
times was listened to attentively.
Friday night DR.. Petar MacQueen
made his first appearance. Between
the demands of the audience for num-
bers by the orchertra and announce
ments by Mr.. MacMurray, it was nine
o'clock before the lecture was fairly
started, but it held the audience until
the last picture was shown. Russia
in Distress" was his subject and al
though something similar had been
given here only two seasons ago his
views were all so different and his
talk SO entertaining that the time
passed quickly.
Saturday evening DR.. MacQueen
made his second appearance, speak
ing upon the Philippines and Panama,
and repeating his success of the pre-
vious evening. He paid splendid tri-
butes to the bravery and morality of
the American soldiers in the Pacific
islands aud his views of Panama gave
clear ideas of what has been accom-
plished on the isthmus and the work
that is yet to be done.

Wierd Story from Wichita

The Daily Capital says that some
people over at Wichita Guthrie County
have appealed to the Iowa Humane
Society because of the condition and
conduct of two brothers aged sixteen
and twenty, who have become terror
to the community 1t is alleged that
the younger one ''curls up like ball
behind the stove and snarls and tries
to bark, while the older one like a
savage gorilla, shows his teeth and
makes awful threats" The probable
tiles are that the boys take delight in
pure deviltry and are trying to SUBJ
stantiate theDarwinian theory of evo'

Arrested For Assault

George McCuen and his son we're
arrested one day, last of the week, for
assault and battery on Joe Leonard,
who has charge of Sheriff Northup's
farm up in Cameron township. 1t is
said the difficulty arose from differ
ence in the weight of a load of corn on
two different scales. Sharp words led
to a scrap between Leonard and Nc
Cuen, Senior, and when the former
was getting the better of the latter the
son took part and it is alleged that
he hit Leonard on the head with a neck
yoke which laid him up for repairs.
The McCuens gave bonds for appear
ance at trial which has been set for a
day early in August.

In order to secure the Chautauqua it
was necessary for the business men of
Audubon to take large number of
season tickets with the idea of selling
them to individuals and their friends
in the country. Each bank took forty
and fifteen other business men took
twenty-five each while others took a
smaller number. If the people are
glad to see the Chautauqua come this
year and hope to have 1t come again
they must show their appreciation by
purchasing season tickets, even if
they can't attend but part of the
time. This office has a number, for
sale, and so have all the leading bust
ness places of Audubon.

Goes to Marion.

We noted some time ago that Sam
uel Conybeare had resigned as prin-
cipal of the Guthrie Center High
School to which he was chosen for an
other year. 1t appears now that he
has been elected as teacher of science
in the High School at Marion near
Cedar Rapids which gives him work
that he prefers and an increase in sal
airy. And with all he will be within a
street car ride from home, Mr.. Cony-
beare is to be congratulated upon his
promotion.

THE FOURTH IN AUDUBON
Financial Statement as Furnish
ed to the Commercial Club.

Some people do not know and other
people do not stop to think that to
get up Fourth of July celebration
takes not only whole lot OF hard
work but costs big sum of money.
Then there are some who never do
any work nor give any money, but
who do much knocking beforehand
and much criticising afterward. For
the information of those who do not
know what it costs, and the benefit OF
those who do not appreciate the efforts
made and the funds expended to have
good time on the Fourth, we give
below an account of the receipts and
Disbursements. AS will be seen there
is balance of Sl42.09 to be paid by
the Commercial Club.

GOOD ROADS CONTEST
Something That Might Be Done BY
the Commercial Club of Audubon.

The Commercial Club of Corning
proposes to show that it has reasons
for keeping alive. 1t offers a prize
of $50 for the best half mile of dirt
road made with drag within a rad
ius of seven miles from the city of
Corning. 1t pays $25 for the next
best and So each for the next five,
making seven prizes in all. The con-
testants are to begin at once and
make the road as good as they can
by fall, d. Ward King, the inventor
of the drag has promised to come and
do the judging and award the prizes.
There must be twenty entries for the
contest and already as many as twelve
farmers have started in. They have
the correct idea that the road drag is
the tool to use in making good dirt
roads.
