how to manage horses, mules and

tendent William went to Alton Thurs

The recent changes in the rural
routes and the many removals on the
| first of March have made the newspaper
| Offices a lot OF extra work in correct
| ing the mailing lists. Some mistakes
will surely be made and IL may take
| some patience to get them straighten-
| ed out. II any one fails to receive his
| paper let him drop us card or speak
TO us over the telephone.

\ In another place in this issue may
/ be found the announcement of b. n.
| Carper, of Audubon, as candidate
before the republicans of this county
for the office of Sheriff, asking their
| support at the primary election to be
held June >, 1908. Mr.. Carper comes
pretty nearly being u native Of this
| county, having come here as a young
| child with his father, Colonel r. N.
| Carper, thirty-two years ago. He was
| reared ON the farm and lived there I'M
| til he was twenty-four years of age.
He was brought up Republican and
| cast his first vote for President Me
| Kinley in 1896. Mr. Carper is capa-
| BILE and popular young business man
and if he should securethe Office would
make good official.
w. G.. McIlrath, who lives near
| Extra, was up to Audubon, Saturday,
and dropped in to get acquainted. In
course OF conversation we found that
Collinwood, Ohio, where one hundred
seventy school children were burned
| to death last week was his home town,
| but he had been in San Francisco "a
| good many years prior to the earth
/
| though he escaped without injury be-
cause his fear prompted him TO run at
the first sign Of danger. In order to
be at the commission house for which
he was working, at an early hour, he
slept in the store. AT five thirteen the
first shock came, and while the other
men about him laughed he left the
brick building and ran across the
street to small wooden structure
When it was over he went back and
helped to pull out five who we're crush
ed under the building. Sometimes it
is good deal better to run than to
laugh at the fellow who does. The
house in which Mrs. McIlrath was
sleeping was badly wrecked, but she
escaped without injury. They have
rented farm west of Extra which they
! will occupy the coming year.
