House Cleaning Day April "a.

1t is good to have house-cleaning
day at home. Let us establish In Au-
dubon county 81 house cleaning day
once or twice year. The spring
housekeeping will not be quite so
much of an affair as our fall house
cleaning. Then will be the time when
we can more successfully secure the
cooperation OF the 9men-folkS" /.
However we will make beginning
this spring. We therefore proclaim
Friday, April "a, for the first united
efforts along this line throughout the
county.
Many teachers are sending in re-
ports of unscrubbed floors, dirty walls
no curtains and that the out buildings
are physical and moral menace to
the pupils of the community. An ed
ucator of national reputation has said
''They should cease to be hellholes of
vulgarity and obscenity" Rather
strong language, but very true de-
scription of far too many of such build
ings in our own county. Therefore
on April Twenty Four let those of the
people of the community who can meet
with the pupils and teachers and where
needed clean floors, walls, wihnows
and yards. BE sure and have marks
on school houses and outbuildings
erased as far as possible. We sim
cerely hope that this appeal will not
be made in vain. Circulars have been
sent the teachers asking them to make
report on whatwas done on this day
and pupils have been asked to write
composition on What We Did on
Housecleaning Day."

County Superintendent.

Here And There

Death is calamity that we cannot
avoid. We may have time to lie down
call our friends about us, and pass
quietly away, or the stealthy hand of
the midnight assassin may strike us
down without moments warming.
They say that we can live so as TO
make death but longed for terminus
OF stormy voyage the landing OF q
weary pilgrim on the sunny shores OF
peaceful land. They say that there
is a heaven for the good; but ali lies
just beyond the pangs of parting with
story is to the point:-One sultry sum-
mer afternoon sick man lay ia the
west room ofhis little cottage, restless
and writhing in the grasp OF o fatal
fever. The door opened and doctor
stepped in. After q cheering remark
or two the doctor seated himself by the
bedside and laid his fingers on the sick
mans pulse as he noted the bewilder-
ed working OF the heart, he shook his
head and looked grave. The sickman
was quick TO notice this and said,
"Dr. conceal nothing, and tell me the
whole truth After mOmentary
silence the doctor said, do you wish
your wife to know? Yes, yes, let Jen-
ME know the worst. Well, my friend,
said the doctor, the very worst is that
you cannot live twenty-four hours
You will never see another sun. set.
Tears welled up in the good wife's
eyes, and the sick man shifted his
gaze from the DOCTORS face to the op-
posite wall. There he gazed vacantiy
as if listening to the approaching foot
steps of death. Then he began to sol
iloquize thus; Dear old farm must we
part. Never again shall | rove your
sunny fields, never again shall walk
where the meadow meets the corn, and
listen to the buglecall OF the lark.
never again shall ! walk beneath the
spreading elms and lose my cares by
the brookside. This seems To be q
fair world. ! do not want tn leave IL.
When am | going? ! cannot see. Here
the sobbing OF his wife broke his soil
loquy and caused him to turn TO her
aud say, Jennie. o! Jennie! come here
She came and took him by the hand,
and push his bebeveled hair back from
his brow. The doctor turned away,
stepped into another room and left
them alone. Tomorrow said the dying
man as he touched his breast, this will
be an empty house, Jennie, an empty
hut. These poor hands will be folded,
and you will place rose In them,
Jennie, In my cold senseless clasp,
white rose, Jennie, like the one | twin
ed in your raven hair as we walked In
the garden long, long ago. o. Jen-
ME, must we part. wish that wemight

Al Old Building Rag I'd.

The Audubon Produce Company
managed by r. B. White have been
busy this week tearing down the old
building they have occupied for the
purpose of making room for new
one better suited to the needs of the
business. The building is one of the
very first to be erected ia the town of
Audubon, The first one erected is the
shop now standing on the alley north
OF the residence of E. j. Freeman
which was down close to the track
where Weighton's cement yard is at
this time. 1t was built by the Rock
Island and used by Mr.. Freeman for
an Office. Aside from this, William
Cloughly claims to have erected the
first building for his drug store and
that the one now being RACED was the
second. Mr.. Freeman says he sold
the lots abotft ten o'clock in the morn
ing and that before night workmen
we're busy on the ClonghIy building,
the Matthias building and the Frahm
building which was put up for saloon
on the corner now occupied by the
CITY Hotel. The one now being RACED
was erected by ID. w. Matthias which
he run as the Grant hotel for good
many years. The town was started In
October 1873. which will make IL thirty
years OF age next October. The men
who came here full of youth and ener-
gy are now among the older men as
well as the early residents. A few are
doing business at the old stand, some
sleep out on the hill, and others have
moved away, while new generation
are taking their place.

just as we went to the altar on our
wedding day. Here he closed his eyes
and all was silent for a while. Sud-

the setting sun and said, OH Jennie,

and quiet Some one is calling me,

j. A. MUSSoN.
When DR.. A. l.. Brooks reached
home Monday night he remarked that
he had Just completed twenty five years
OF actual practice OF medicine. That
is long time to ride up and down the
hills OF this county through all kinds
OF wind and weather. And we presume
that when he looks back over these
long years, he feels about as George
Francis Train did. "Fhat after lee
turing thousand and one nights In
succession according TO all rules OF
health he ought TO be dead" but
doesn't find time to quit. The people
generally have little appreciation OF
the hard life that is led by a busy and
faithful physician.
We see by the Des Moines papers
that eighty OF the ninety-nine
county superintendents Of the state
are now in session in Des Moines.
Twenty of them are women, and
the report says the display OF Merry
Widow" hats has been an inspiration to
the orators. The best speech the first
day was made by one of the women
and their enthusiasm was as contag
ions at the conference as IL Is In their
work In their counties at home. They
enjoyed banquet together at the
