ST. PETERSBURG, April 23.-In conse-
quence Of the critical situation Of the
foreign residents of Tabriz. who are in
imminent danger of attack by the ia
natical population. the government has
ordered the viceroy of the Caucasus to
send a strong body Of troops over the
frontier to Tabriz by forced marches.
By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. April 23.-It was an
nounced here today that, as the Shah Of
Persia has failed to notify the royalist
commander at Tabriz that an. armistice
had been granted, Russia has ordered the
viceroy of the Caucasus to dispatch troops
to that point by forced marches.
Minister Jackson's Report.
A dispatch from Minister Jackson, at
Teheran, Persia. dated at 8 o'clock this
morning, causes grave concern at the
State Department. The consul at Tabriz,
says the minister. has telegraphed him
that the situation there will be desperate
If negotiations following the representa-
tions of European powers which were
made yesterday should fail. These repre-
sentations touch the general situation in
Persia. Their effect was not stated.
The consul feels that a massacre Is imi-
nent. Inflammatory speeches against
foreigners were made at the funeral of
Baskerville yesterday. Foreigners are not
permitted to leave Tabriz.
Missionaries In Fear.
The missionaries are much alarmed.
The minister says he is powerless to do
anything.
The armistices declared day or two
ago have improved the general situation
somewhat. There are several missionary
establishments in the neighborhood of
Tabriz.
The fact that the United states gov
ernment has signified a dependence on
Russia to assist in the humanitarian
work in Persia Is evidence of the friend
ly relations between the two govern
ments. This was communicated to the
cars government by the State Depart
ment in a dispatch which told of the in
ability of the United States to effectively
intervene to prevent trouble

Made Impressive Exhibit.

The exhibit on the ground floor Of
the American Museum of Natural
History, New York. illustrating the
solar system, has been altered so as
to be more comprehensive and instruc-
tive. The sun is now represented by
an Illuminated globe three inches in
diameter, which brings the orbit of the
earth Just within the foyer. The
foyer, therefore, now contains the
Whole of the orbits of Mercury, Venus
and The earth and part of that of Mars,
while the adjoining exhibition halls
contain the remainder of the orbit of
Mars and parts of those of Jupiter and
Saturn. The orbits are represented by
circles of wire on which the days and
months are indicated and along which
the planets, shown as lights of proper
size, are moved from day to day in
correct position.

German Government Lotteries.

In an article on the lotteries the Ber-
liner Tageblatt says there are three
ways by which wealth is acquired-by
work, which is long and tedious; by
dishonesty, which is precarious pro-
ceeding, and by gambling. The num-
Der of persons who prefer the last
named method, says the writer, is
large in the German realm, for there
the great lotteries thrive the best.
There are seven of these under the
management of the government,
and they distribute s16O,OOO,OOO in
prizes. The anxiety to secure a
part of this amount has destroyed
the happiness of thousands OF
households and has diverted thousands
of good men from honest industry and
thrift to idleness and poverty. In the
seven lotteries there are about $4,000
winners year, but of these only about
$50 receive prizes of more than 1000
marks each.

A Fine for Needless JoIts.

Most jolts and jars in life are I'M
necessary, wasteful and more or less
disturbing to the public peace Sen
slble economy of life ought to seek
the elimination of the jolting for self
interest, not to speak of regard for the
public. In New York hereafter trans
portation companies that subject their
passengers to jolts, and jars from
broken or flat wheels, loose trucks or
sagging rails, switches or frogs, will
be liable to fine not exceeding $500
for each offense. This is not parental
economy for the railroad companies,
nor even the protection of the pas
sengers, but OF the people. But, what
ever its professed motive, it is good
idea and worth general application.
Penalize the unnecessary jolts!

Audubon County
Early History
HON. III. f. ANDREWS

will be of value to whoever essays the
attempt.
say this adviSedly and without
hesitation from the fact of personal
experience of many years in searching
for old local history in many parts of
the country, from Maine to California
and from Canada to the Gulf and
elsewhere. Although this country is
barely three hundred years old, dating
from its first settlement by civilized
people, and is yet in its infancy or
childhood as compared with the his
tory of the world, there is dearth of
information about the history and
can never be known. How very many
people in America today there are who
cannot tell even of their ancestors be-
You'd their grandparents and many not
that far back.
A gentleman, who was breeder of
fine stock once told me that he did not
know so much about the history of his
ancestors as he did the pedigrees of
his horses. This is not right.
The most diligent inquirers and in
vestigators for family history will be
almost hopelessly disappointed by
failure to discover records or informa-
ton about ancestors where it could
have been preserved and is not to be
found.
In former work the writer stated:
1.-The desire to perpetuate the history
OF the race is as old as civilization and
is an instinct implanted in the human
mind. Genealogy may be said to be
the insignia of civilization. Moses,
the Jewish writer, ruler, statesman
and lawgiver; the great landmark in
in civilization, wisely recorded the
pedigrees of his people. The idea is
enrolling. A proper regard for ances-
tors and desire to perpetuate their
memories and good acts tends to the
elevation of mankind. 1t is line of
demarkation between barbarism and
enlightenment" | will only empha-
size what was then said.
We earnestly hope that our efforts
in attempting these sketches may
gladden. the eye of the antiquarian,
generations ahead.
1t is suggested that steps be taken
to preserve theae articles in durable
scrap books, or otherwise.
The Ladies' Clubs, especially, will
find employment and will perform a
work of gratitude in doing SO.
We have much for which to thank
and bless the ladies, not only for our
precious lives, but for other countless
good and noble gifts which make life
worth living. And here is another in
stance for the exercise of their good
ness.
1t is intended that these sketches
shall cover the period from the settle
ment of the country down to and in
Guiding the year 1865. And it is hoped
thereby to refresh the recollectionS
and arouse the enthusiasm of Others
to assist in making the subject inter
eSting and more complete and to bring
to light events and records which will
undoubtedly escape the investigation
of the writer. 1t is earnestly desired
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1909-01-07

Time flies and the mile stones of
history as ever continue to pass, never
to return.
Shall the future inquirer search in
vain for information relative to the
early settlers and actors in the affairs
of Audubon county?
But very few "reminiscences concern
ing them and necessary to delineate
their characters have been preserved.
Most of them have already passed into
oblivion.
The existence, even, OF many of the
early settlers of this county are known
to but few individuals now living
OF those who came here prior to and
including the year 1855 and now living
here, we can recall only John T. Jen-
kins, Mrs. Mary Thomas, Mrs. Hannah
Hawk, Mrs. Malinda Radclitf, Mrs.
Belle Crane, Bryant Milliman and
wife, L. NJ. Anderson, David Beers,
j. d. Herrick, Hugh Bowen, l. V. d.
Lewis and Dwight West.
A few Others of that period are liv-
ing in other places.
The time to accurately record his
tory is when it is being made, which
cannot always conveniently be done;
and thus much is lost to be hopelessly
regretted.
The unit of history relates to the
events of individuals, and these aggre-
gated and systemized make the history
of the family, the neighborhood, town,
city, county, state, nation and the
world. How important then to pre-
serve records of individual events!
THE AUDUBON COUNTY JOURNAL
has requested some historical sketches
of the early events in this county. AS
most of them occurred in the vicinity
of what is now Extra township, it is
peculiarly fitting that such sketches
should appear in the JOURNAL.
The writer regrets that the work
has not fallen into ADLER hands, and
that he is not better equipped for the
task.
During a busy, business career of
forty-three years in this county it has
been my fortune and pleasure to know
nearly every family who lived here in
the year 1865, and many who have
since lived here. Most of these people
were visited and seen in their homes.
and in that and various other ways an
intimate acquaintance was establish
ed with them. Through snch acquaint-
ance | also learned more or less about
nearly, if not all, who lived in the
county up to the time of my coming
here on October 3, 1865.
1t is certainly a pleasure to be able
to grant this information, and / trust
that it may be more than passing cur
iosity to obtain it. 1t would be we'll
to preserve it permanently for future
use. 1t will be of value. But | am
not prepared at this time to write the
history of Audubon county as it should
be written. 1t would require more
time and money than am able to de-
vote to it. | can furnish some of the
material, some of the early events and
Incidents about the settlers in the first
years here, which the future historian
will be delighted to discover, and it
