A Very Sudden Demise

Mrs. r. J. Gilchrist returned on
Saturday from Mount Vernon and
furnishes particulars Of the sudden
death of Mrs. Jane Klice. They left
here last week on Sunday, reached
their destination that evening and
passed a couple Of, days calling upon
friends. Wednesday Mrs. Gilchrist
was at the home of her sister and Aunt
Jane, as she was Familiarity known,
had gone to the home of friend
where she purposed to pass the winter
and in the afternoon was seated in a
chair while one of the ladies busted
herself about the room, humming a
tune as she worked, and turned to ask
Aunt Jane how she liked the music
but receiving no reply she spoke again
and upon closer inspection was hor-
rorstruck to find her guest was dead.
Physicians were summoned who said
her spirit had fled to the courts on
high, giving heart failure as the cause
When the lady came hurriedly into
the presence of Mrs. Gilchrist and in
formed her that Aunt Jane was dead
she was terribly shocked and deeply
grieved for Aunt Jane had been a
member of her family many years and
was greatly beloved by every member
thereof. The body was buried over at
Mount Vernon, Iowa, where she had
many friends and some property.

THE ROSEBUD DRAWING
Carper And Kraft Among The Lucky
Ones Prom This County

Much interest was manifest Monday
in the Rosebud drawing which COM
menced that morning at 10 O'Clock.
Every man who had registered had
his ear open toward the northwest
hoping to hear his name over the
wireless telephone as one of the lucky
few who had drawn a prize. Along
about four o'clock B. F. Carper re-
ceived a message that he had drawn
No. Ill and in the evening G. A. Kraft
was advised that his name and No. 852
had made safe connection. The first
number fell to maiden at Kennebeck,
South Dakota. AS she is but 80, she
will probably receive many offers of
marriage from fellows who need some
woman to support them.
Since the foregoing was put in type
the papers announce the following
lucky ones from this county: S. E.
Harm. Extra, No. 1856; Rudolph Ander-
son, Kimballton, 945; Hans G. Miller,
Extra, 1910; M. N. Esbeck, Kimball-
ton, 1O1l.

A BIG SURPRISE PARTY
Friends And Neighbors OF Doctor Harris
Call To Bid Them Farewell

Last Saturday morning dawned at
Doctor A. l.. Harris home much as
all days dawn when people are prepar-
ing to journey to distant land with
plenty of work to do, many callers to
entertain, and many good-byes to be
said. Finally the day was. done and
bed time drew near for weary people
when suddenly there was a loud rap
ping at the door and large party of
neighbors and friends entered without
much ceremony and proceeded tomake
themselves at home. The doctor had
shipped most of their furniture so it
was something of task to find seats
for the thirty or more guests present.
When seats had been provided all pro-
ceeded to have good time. There
seemed to be some mystery connected
with one basket as a great many in
quiries were made about it. The basket
was put away for safe keeping and
just before supper box that was in
the basket was found to be missing.
end after much search and inquiry it
was found under a gentleman's coat. 1t
seems two ladies and the gentleman
had spirited the box out of the basket.
One of the ladies made an effort to
call the party off but did not succeed.
After much searching and inquiry the
said gentleman was called upon the
carpet and made confession we sup
pose for two reasons as the aroma of
some excellent coffee was noticeable
through the room and then the coat
was too small to cover the man and
the box real we'll, so the lost property
was restored. The box was handed
Mr.. George Kellogg, who had been
chosen to makethe presentation speech
After making few remarks of regret
at losing our good neighbor he under
took to make some gesture and acct
dentally hit the box and oh, my: how
the silver knives and forks did rattle!
SO Mr.. Kellogg just handed over the
goods and the doctor and his wife said
thanks, and the thanks came from the
heart. When peace was restored the
refreshments were served to which all
did ample justice. All went home re-
joicing over the pleasant evening with
our friends, the doctor and family.
The invading guests we're Messrs. and
Mesdames Fosnough, Stanton, Peter

logg, A. Dollahide. Meyer, Hudler,

Receiver Appointed

The many friends ofthe Ward Broth
ers will regret to learn that receiver
has been appointed to take charge of
their business, which was done on last
Monday. They have been doing an ex-
tensive business for several years in
contracting for the big draining proj-
ects in Northern Iowa and Minnesota
which requires large capital to keep
things going. Then Mr.. Wardhas been
in very poor health, having just re-
turned from a long stay at Battle
Creek, Michigan. We understand this
action was taken with q mutual under
standing, Fred A. Littell who recently
moved to Audubon and is fully &C.
quainted with their business, received
the appointment. 1t is hoped that the
may be only Temporal
ry and not cause them serious loss.

THE AUDUBON COUNTY JOURNAL
Delivers Broadside Against The Board
About The County Printing

In the last issue OF The Audubon
County Journal the editor gives the
Board of Supervisors "a lambasting
about certain county printing that
hasn't been furnishedto his Office. And
whether Intended or not the article
carries the idea to the public that
SIS. 90 is all he has received from the
county for printing since the first of
last January. This is not our fight
and we are sure the Board is fully
able to take care of it's own interests
as well as those of the county; but In
4" fairness " to the people of the coun-
ty we desire to state few facts and
give few figures simply as a matter
of information:
The new law compelling uniformity
in keeping the public accounts in all
counties of the state required large
outlay the last year for new books and
blanks to make the change. Most of
such supplies are necessarily purchas-
ed from wholesale houses where they
are prepared to do that kind of work.
So the Board passed a resolution ask
ing for bids and at the spring session
made contract with the Carroll Book
Mandatory, at certain discount
from the list price. The Republican
made no bid because but little of such
work can be done in a country office
with satisfaction and profit. The Board
believe their action in this matter has
been for the best interests of the coun-
ty and the records are open for inves-
tigation at any time.
Among a list of bills paid since jan
uary first The Journal gives the fol-
lowing:
l. Audubon Republican--S486 20
2. Audubon Advocate------ Y 05
3. Extra Journal Is 90
The County Auditors records show
that for printing done since January
l, 1908, and paid for at the sessions
of the Board in April, June and No
Vember the county papers have receiy-
ed the following:
l. Audubon Republican----S720 Oh
2. Audubon Advocate 525 SIS
3. Extra Journal $780, 554 90
We might remark incidentally that
the bills for this year are larger than
usual because the law required the
publication of the Rules of the Board
of Health and the Primary Ballot for
which each paper received the same
amount.

Governor White In Audubon

The democrats had good deal of
worry Monday about the speaker who
was advertised for that afternoon.
They were not advised as to the direc-
ton of his coming and when they met
both trains and found 40 one who
looked like a democratic governor
they were much disappointed and not
a little troubled. But Mr.. White wa
found on his way here from Carroll
and }. M. Hart met him at Manning
and brought him down in his auto in
time for the meeting. We did not find
time to attend but we are informed
that he gave an interesting address,
affording considerable amusement at
the expense of the republicans. The
democrats induced Doctor Rosen-
bladt to take MIR. White to Harlan
where he spoke that evening.

It could be seen that the hawk was beaten and was now endeavoring to free itself from the grip of the eel. Finally they both dropped back into the river, where the great amount of splashing denoted that the struggle was continuing.
 Presently the hawk released Itself, and its manner of flight gave evidence that 1t had been quite badly hurt To all who saw the struggle in the water it seemed that the eel was bent on wreaking vengeance; but, whether in- tcntional or not, 1t certainly came near drowning its antagonist of the aif and was the brilliant victor of the singular encounter"
