Joseph Blohm is putting up a
windmill.
Pete Sorensen passed down the
line Sunday.
Martin Esbeck passed through
town Monday.
Axel B rjessen passed through our
village Sunday.
Hans Hansen made business trip
to Audubon Saturday.
A number of our people attended
Easter exercises in Audubon SUNDAY
evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hansen of Audubon
attended the birthday party at
Henry Paulson's last Sunday eve.
The number of pupils at No. 1 at
present is nineteen. The regularity
ofattendance has been excellent so far,
Juhl Philipsen has just received a
large stock of spring caps. So boys
you need not go bareheaded any
more.
Those mules of Sharon, perhaps
better known as the automobile
racers, made a flying trip to Audu-
bon Saturday.
Mr.. Krogh, our village black
smith, is kept very husy sharpening
up the old tools now that spring
work has cOmmencef
Carl Jensen, the young man whs
has been working at the creamery for
some time, will work for John
Schoebee this summer.
Mr.. Blohm is one director who be-
lieves in having things up-to-da,e.
Recently he showed out the old rust,
stove and replaced it by brand new
one of the latest cut.
A family by the name of Jessen
has recently arrived from Denmark
They will live with jess Schoeboe
where the lady will keep house and
the man will work in the creamery.
The Rev. Johansen preached his
eOA hiOl aU CuC sCllOOl las
Sunday. He went to Audubon in
the evening where he boarded the
train for Denmark where he expects
to remain for some time.
Henry Paulson celebrated his
birthday SUNDAY. A number of his
friends and neighbors were present to
enjoy the event, and all were royalty
entertained. We hope that Mr.
Paulson may live to enjoy many
more such occasions.
Although Sharon does not occupy
a very conspicuous place on the map,
it is place of considerable import
ance nevertheless. This little village
is located about six miles south W est
of Audubon in one Of the most fertile
regions of Audubon county. She has
general store, blacksmith shop,
public school and one of the best
managed creameries in western Iowa,
and when the new ELECTRIC RAILWAY
is extended out this way, we expect
to be in close touch with all the i'm
portant commercial centers of the
West. The population according to
the last official census was fifteen
souls.

A BAD RUNAWAY
Martin Ipsen, the Sixteen-Year-0ld
Son Of Mrs. Ipsen, Run Over
and One Horse Killed.

One day last week Martin, the six ,
teen-year-old son of Mrs. Ipsen, re-
siding north of Kimballton, was
driving four horses to disc when he
alighted to rearrapge the bride on
one of the horses when they became
frightened and ran, knocking the lad
down and one end of the disc passed
over his breast cutting his outer gar
menta into shreds. The skin was not
abraded but he was seriously injured
internally, causing him to spit blood.
DR.. Soc of Elk Horn attended to
him and thinks he will recover.
One of the horses was so badly cut it
had to be shot.

Fashion in Medicine

There is fashion in most things,
and medicine during the last ten years
has appeared to me to be as much
under it's sway as dress or charity.
Half ones duties as medical man is
devoted to explaining away the dag
nosis of the fashionable physician,
which, however, creditable to the
diagnostician, is particularly unfor-
tunate for the patient, who readily
makes a pet of the maladie la mode.

TORNADO in PAGE COUNTY.
Upsets and Demolishes Houses and
Barns.

Clarinda.-A cyclone started on the
afternoon of the 2Sth mile and a
half north of Clearmont, Mo-, and
travelled northward, passing one mile
east of the town of Braddyville, Page
county, Iowa, just north of the state
me. There was no electrical dis
turbance, but the storm was accom-
panied by darkness and loud roar
Ing. The genuine tornado seemed
to start north of Clearmont. Its
work was as follows:
1t demolished the barn and house
OF John Burch, the barn and out
buildings of ]. M. Hunt and probably
destroyed the home of Ira Hodges, for
no word has been heard from the
family. Near Braddyville the tornado
tore into splinters the house, barn
and outbiuldings Of Will Akin, set
Jim Burgess house in the road and
completely destroyed the barns of
Henry Lush, Eathen Kelly and Law
renee Snodgrass, all we'll known
Page county farmers. No deaths are
yet known. The tornado followed
the course of Buchanan creek for
some distance before it spent itself
The most damage was done near
Braddyville.
AT Kelly's and Stanton's farm some
marvellous freaks were wrought
Ihree cows grazing beside fence
on the Kelly farm were lifted into the
air and deposited unhurt on the pas
ture of farmer named Stanton just
across the fence which itself was un.
moved and mistaken.
The cows are eclipsed, however, by
the mule. The animal was standing
by the barn when the swirling wind
MT the building. The upper half Of
the barn was shaered off and deposit
ed on the mule and second more
water tank blew down on top of the
barn and mule. The animal was dug
out uninjured.
Five tons OF hay lying on the
second story Of the barn were left
untouched although the roof and
sides had been torn off.
A similar curious happening with
regard to quantity of hay occurred
at the Stanton barn. The hay in this
case was lying on the first floor and
1T was left there although the walls
and rest of the building except the
floor were lifted high and dropped
down nearby.

No Divorce For Weak Minds.

Council Bluffs.-Feeble mindedness

ing of divorce case, Judge Wheeler
said he hesitated about granting a
petition because, as he stated, he
feared it meant another victim.

TIE OLD TINE RELIGION.

An up-tO-date minister, not preach

the old time revival and camp-meet-
ings and announced he would have

encouraged, and high singing inaug-
urated, singing so high that the
congregation can not Join in. and
will not know whether the choir is
giving them Nobody Works But
Father or some old familiar hymn.
Old time religion is good enough for
us. and the old camp-mecting with
its sunrise prayer service and its
mourners' bench is of ourliking. is of
Nirginia's liking. We do not know
anything more inspiring for a better
life and for the uplifting Of man than
TO hear one of the old time hymns.
such as "All Hail the Power OF
Jesus Name" sung by "a whole CON
gregation. all uniting in the song
service. It's the mourners bench
where "A man declares in public he i
a sinner and asks for the prayers of
the people Of God that he may be-
made a better man. And it is too
emotional says the up-to-date divine
Yes, it is emotional. but it is the
kind OF emotion that often brings
the simmer to the throne OF grace

many back slide, they say. So they
do, but one, even one, may be saved.
and there is Joy in Heaven over one
sinner that repenteth. 1t is better
that one shall be saved. though
many back slide, than that none. not
one, shall be brought to see the error
OF their ways. The New Testament
has many instances of revivals. In
London on one occasion there was a
great revival. which was led by the
good Evangelist Moody. Many
came up To the mourners' bench to
be prayed for. and many back

became one of the most powerful
evangelists and preachers of this
day. and he is going through the
world proclaiming with effect the
glad tidings of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, and sinners flock to hear him
and many are converted. Was that
revival without its fruits? No. we
say, a thousand time no: give rs and
keep for our children the old time
religion, with its revivals, mourners
benches and camp-meetings: they do
good unto the people and bring
many TO see the sinfulness and errors
OF their ways. We will have none of
the new fashioned kind that panders
to the aesthetic. TO the cultivated
taste, but does not reach the heart
or convert the soul.

VIRGINIA AND THE NATIONAL

We heartily approve Of the sug-

South take the leadership in the
councils of the Democratic party.
and that Virginia should take the
initiative in this movement. The
News says, in part:
The time has come when suggestions
are IN order as to the best means of as-
serting and carrying into effect q pro-
gram by which the Democracy of this
section may demonstrate firm and I'M
yielding purpose to claim in every sense
and in the fullest sense the right to have
