JOHN MuSSoN INJURED
Accident Happened At Manning
While On His Way To Chicago

On Saturday evening John A. Mus.
son and w. H Neff left, for Chicago
over the North-Wes with several
car loads of cattle. When the train
stopped at Manning Mr.. Musson step
ped off the train and went forward to
speak to the engineer But before be
reached the engine the train was cut
in two and the forward part was pull
ed ahead. Seeing this Mr.. Musson ran
along beside the cars and reaching up
took hold of the ladder and made an
attempt to throwhis foot in the stirrup,
but missed it. The result was that his
left foot struck the rails and was run
over by one of the wheels, smashing
his toes SO that they had to be remov-
ed except a part of the large toe
Though the shoe shows the mark of
the rail on the bottom, it was not in
jured except as it was burst from the
sole on one side. Mr. Musson was
attended by Doctor Williams, and
George Horning spent the night with
him and came home with him on the
train Sunday morning. While there
is general regret that any accident
should have happened, his friends are
congratulating him that he escaped
without more serious injury.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF AUDUBON COUNTY
AND OF THE TOWN OF AUDUBON.
FOR STATE SENATOR

Although is yet full year before
the next election, quite little is be.
ing said In political discussion aboul
candidates for the several offices to be
filled at that time. The list will in.
clude the entire officiary from that of
president down to constable. Among
them and one of great Importance is
that of state senator. In this district,
which includes Audubon, Dallas and
Guthrie counties, the pres ent in
cumbent is Hon. Frank N. Hopkins, of
Guthrie Center, who is completing his
second term or period of eight years
Whether he will be candidate for a
third term or not has not been public
ly stated by him so far as we are in
formed. His name has been quite fire.
quently mentioned in connection with
the Office of Auditor of State and it
may be that he will be candidate for
that position.
! Hon. T. j. Caldwell, of Dallas coun-
ty, was senator from from 1883to 1891,
his second term of four years being
from this districtcomposed oflhecoun-
ties named above. He was succeeded
by Hon. n. F. Andrews, of Extra, who
served from 1891 to 1895. From 1895
to 1899 the district was represented by
Hon. A. G. Hotchkiss, of Adel And
since that time Hopkins, of Guthrie,
has been in service. Since this dis
trict was formed, about twenty years
ago, Dallas has had Caldwell for four
years and Hotchkiss for the same
length of time, making eight years al
together. Guthrie has had Hopkins
for two terms or eight years. While
Audubon has had Andrews for one
term or only four years. With Dallas
having had eight years, Guthrie eight
years, and Audubon only four, it would
seem that any school boy could decide
that as matter of equity and fairness
the next term should be given to some
candidate from Audubon county. And
we are of the opinion that all republi.
cans Of this county would rally to the
support of any member of the party
who could command good support
frem the other counties of the district.
We submit to the republican leaders
in Dallas and Guthrie that it would
be the proper thing for them to con-
cede the Office of senator to Audubon
county for the next term of four years.
AS suitable candidates for that inn
portant position we have heard the
following names mentioned: The Hon.
George Cosson, Assistant Attorney
General; Attorney w. G. Elliott; Hon.
A. II. Edwards, former Represents
tive; Farmer Niels P Hoegh, for many
years County Supervisor; Hon, John
A Nash, Ex-Mayor of Audubon; and
Hon H. F. Andrews, former Senator,
These are all strong and capable men
who would fill the position with credit.

Obituary Of Mrs Wright


Eunice Lavina Zion was. born Nav
10, 1888, and departed this fife Sunday
morning, November 10, 1907. In an
an early day her parents moved from
Indiana and located in Des Moines
county, Iowa, where she was born.
She was married to Isaac w. Wright
on February 8, 1860, and three child.
rem were born to this union: Sarah E..
Wright, Jacob 2. Wright, Sherman
w. Wright. She Joined the Old School
Baptist church twenty-five years ago.
From early childhood she has labor
ed hard to help tighten the heavy bur-
dens of those she loved, and to her
children and the poor she was ever a
cheerful giver. For many years she
has borne her sufferings laboring and
doing for others. She had been con-
fined TO her bed the past seven weeks,
receiving every care and attention that
loving hands could give; when the
angel OF death gave her rest. She was
conscious almost TO the last, saying
she was ready to go, and with wave
OF the frail hand exclaiming she could
hear the singing over There. The fam
lily gathered at her bedside and she
spoke last parting goodbye. Her
last words were: "I'm Going Home {"
Funeral services were held on Tuesday
afternoon from the home, conducted
by a Baptist minister from Guthrie
county, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Vedder,
pastor of the Audubon M. E. church,
and burial took place in the Maple
Grove Cemetery, at Audubon.
Mothers gone, Oh, do not weep,
She has gone above,
Sleeping sweetly at His feet,
Resting in His love.
We will miss you, mother dear,
But your work is DER;
May we hope to meet again
On the golden shore. ~

Rudolph and Rasm ussen

Mr.. Jacob Rudolph and Miss Mettle
Rasmussen of Sharon township were
united ia marriage on Friday Novem-
Der 8, 1907 at the Office Of Justice Mantz
who officiated. The bride is recent
conner from Denmark and has not yet
learned enough Englishto get married.
So brother of the groom acted as In
terpreter for the young woman. And
we doubt not they will live as long aud
be just as happy as though an inter
prefer had not been necessary. This
reminds the editor that according to
tradition. when his father and mother
we're married, the former talked Eng
lish only and the latter nothing but
Pennsylvania Dutch just what the
minister talked we never learned.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Two western
men last week brought forcibly TO the
attention of congress the growing de
mand of the west for better transpor-
tation facilities. They are DR. w. J.
MCGEE of St. Louis, attending the CON
vention of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science. and
General Greene b. Raum OF Illinois,
former commissioner of pensions. DR.
MCGEE declared publicly that the most
prominent issue of the next congress
sional campaign in .the west will be
that of water He insists that the ne
cessity for increased transportation is
the most vital question before his sec
ton of the country today. and that as
the railroads are totally inadequate to
handle the vast tonnage of that sec
ton. the interior waterways must be
improved to permit of the establish
ment of fleets of freight carrying
boats
IF this national administration does
not relieve the present urgent needs,
says DR. MCGEE. the people of the
Mississippi valley and the interior
states will elect a congress that will.
They must have relief"
General Raum is equally insistent
that natural channels be developed TO
care for the marvellous growth in traf-
fic. He points TO the remarkable fig
ures that traffic on the great
lakes has attained and declares
that the ocean tonnage cannot
compare with it. General Raum
