MR. CONNER OF CANADA
Writes About the Golden Opportunity
of Alberta

From II letter in the Daily Herald of
Lethbrdge, Can, by Rev. NJ. j. Conner
of Warner we CLEAN the following which
may he of interest to many of his friends
in this county,
When Mr., Warner located there some
two years ago ne found n Sunday school
and some church members but no build
ing, Within the first year n building
that cost $4,000 was erected. He is also
holding services at several other points
in that section and buildings will he
erected rs soon as circumstances will
permit His field of action now embraces
"A territory that requires over 100 miles
of travel in making the rounds. The
church officials saw the need for more
help and sent Rev. a. j. Nash from Tor
onto the first of July To give his assist
ance. There is no place where the
gospel preacher will find II warmer wei
come than out among his Alberta friends
nor is there any place he will find great
er returns for his labors. We are now
planning our winter campaign and OK.
pect 10 hold special meetings ut all the
preaching points, Rev M, G. Aldridge
of Churdan, Ia, will conduct one in
Warner the first of November. r"
There ~ no place on earth that Il
poor man can get II start, get on his feet
become independent and look the world
square in the face quicker than here in
Alberta. No place where the man of
means can invest his money and get
greater returns in shorter time than here;
and to those who have lost their health,
that great boon may be regained III this
congenial climate. Our people are more
than pleased that they have availed
themselves Of the golden opportunity
afforded in this cline. We would advise
anyone thinking of changing location to
consider the advantage offered in this
land of opportunities.

Must Raise The Rates

The Storm Lake Tribune says that
out at Denison the newspapers have
been compelled, owing to the increased
expenses, TO raise the advertising rates
Such move will need be taken by all
the local newspapers before long. Since
the memory of man runneth not TO con
trary advertising rates have been the
same Notwithstanding the fact that the
two local papers have larger circula-
ton. There is no inclination upon the
part Of the papers TO " Get all the traffic
will bear >" for service but simply to get
compensation in Keeping with the ser
vice rendered.
The rates ut Denison have been not
less than fifteen cents an inch for some
years, if we are correctly informed

Same Condition Elsewhere

Audubon is not the only place that
gets weary of slow railroad service
There are others who bewail their stu.
alton and inability to effect any change
for the better. One fellow writing to
the Register * Leader says:
On this branch Of the c. b. & Q. forty
seven miles from Creston to Cumberland,
the time card allows them four hours
and fourteen minutes, about twelve
miles per hour, and yet it is the excep-
ti)n for them to run on time People
have plead with, and raved at them, but
to no use. They haul our passengers
and mail when they have the hogs, cattle,
grain and coal ready to go, and not till
then, and it is considered the best forty
seven miles of feeder that the G. b. 81 q.
has on its entire system.

Attention, Land Purchasers

Will you need money to pay for the
land you bought?
If so NOW is the time to arrange for it!
The enormous sale of land all over
Iowa and the high price paid means o
greater demand for money next spring
than has ever been known before. This
also means close money market and
possibly higher rates of interest. The
wise man looks ahead and does not wait
until the last moment. We have a large
fund that we can rely upon and are TAX
ing applications daily for March LIST,
next. In the 81 years we have been loan
ing money in Audubon and adjoining
counties we have never disappointed a
patron. Come in NOW and make your
arrangements and your money will be
ready for you when wanted. We loan
on both first and second mortgages and
will do as we have always done in the
past, make larger loans on better terms
than any one else can possibly do We
will be glad to see you and give you
terms NASH & PHELPS,

Good Chance For Homes

The price of lands in this county has
gone pretty nearly out of sight and the
farmer with limited means cannot get
a home without loading himself with a
heavy burden of debt. Consequently
many are looking for some place where
good farms can be bought at u reasona-
BILE price. Now we found Just such a
place while away on recent trip where
the country is better improved and the
profits just as large as they are here:
yet fine farms with good Improvements
can be bought for 5000 an acre. We
haye looked the ground over and know
what we are talking about. If any one
who is looking for a good home will call
and see us we will put him next.

CONGRESSIONAL TROUBLES

The fractional fight in Iowa has made
lot of trouble for congressman, chiefly
standpatters. 1t caused the retirement
of Birdsall in the Third district and
Cousins in the Fifth, the defeat of Major
Lacey in the Sixth, Colonel Hepburn in
the Eighth and Judge Conner in the
Tenth, while Kennedy in the First, Hull
in the Seventh and Smith in the Ninth
are the objects of insurgent attacks.
Among the members who We're in con
gress with the late Senator Allison, Daw-
son of the Second district has had the
largest degree of success in avoiding fac
tional luminosity. Hangen of the Fourth
district was claimed by both sides until
the last session of congress, when he
followed the lead of the senators in vot
ing against the tariff bill, but this seems
not to have cost him all his standpat
support nor to have won him the full
confidence Of the insurgents The stu,
alton seems to be that neither side wants
him nor has candidate it considers able
to beat him. The insurgents have sug-
gested Mr.. Copeland of Burlington for
Congressman Kennedy's seat and now
seem to have despaired of getting Judge
against Congressman Hull in the Seventh
In the Eighth the insurgents who beat
Colonel Hepburn and gave his seat to
Jameson, democrat, would now sup
port him rather than see the nomination
go to Judge Towner, a standpatter, but
Colonel Hepburn has publicly stated to
his neighbors that he will never again
be candidate. Judge Towner has not
yet announced His candidacy though he
has been urged to do So The insurgents
have an embarrassment of riches and
would like to be told how to prefer one
of their number without offending the
several other aspirants, none of whom
is considered strong enough to beat Judge
Towner in the primary. They have also
failed as yet to select Judge Smith $ OPP
ponent in the Ninth. The danger to-
Hubbard in the Eleventh district arises
from the fact that the insurgents have u
top heavy majority. j. L. Sammis, one
of their number, has been urged to enter
the lists against Hubbard, but the sug-
gestion comes from standpat quarters
and the senator has thus far withheld
his consent.
An interesting situation is found in
Major Lacey's old district, the Sixth,
now represented by Nate Kendall form
er speaker of the Iowa house. Mr.. Ken
dall's letter explaining his vote against
the tariff has put club into the hands
Of his enemies. In this he says he want
ed to keep on good terms with his con
science But he also says he would have
been enthusiastically for the bill II re-
a Massachusetts district. So
his critics are advising him to amend
his letter by substituting interest for
He further says he preferred
the Dingley bill under which the people
of the United States have been uniform
ly prosperous" But the movement that
carried him into congress was protest
against the Dingley bill, which his lead
er had denounced as an instrument of
robbery. So the Taft republicans are in
search of a man to contest the nomina-
ton with Mr. Kendall The outlook for
peace in Iowa politics is rapidly growing
no better. -Dubuque Times-Journal.

The Denison Game

Probably the best game of foot ball to be
played by the home team this fall will
be on the home grounds next Saturday,
November six, at half-past two, after
noon. The strong Dennison team is
coming over and everything points to a
great game The Denison team is one
of the best in western Iowa, they play
the up to date game and have large
squad from which to choose team.
The home team will be in shape Satur-
day to make up for the defeat met at
Denison. The game there was close and
interesting, and. the boys promise to
make it even more so Saturday

STATE FAIR PROFITS THIS YEAR
Secretary Simpsons Report Makes
Good Showing For 1909

A profit of $50 1923. 80 on the Iowa State
Fair this year is shown by Secretary
Simpsons balance sheet, which he has
just completed. Taking into account
the two rainy days which brought the
gate receipts down 10 ~ 300 less than
year ago and the fact that the expendi.
lures were nearly $4,000 greater than
last the showing is considered highly
satisfactory. A total Of 81, 600 more was
paid in premiums than ever before.
Mr.. Simpsons figures show the total
receipts TO be $l31, 1890 and disburs-
Sl01, 353. 81. These figures may he chang
ed slightly in the final report TO be made
to the board of directors in December,
but they are approximately correct.
During the last season total of Sl55,-
800. 1 was spent in improvements ut the
fair grounds, or this $lOO,0 900 was APP
propriated by the legislature for new
steel grand stand and the remainder was
paid out Of the fair profits. During the
past three years $3.50, 600 of fair profits
have been put back into improvements.
Last year the total amount expended
was Sll 900 and the year before 500, 900
The sum available for improvement next
season will not by US large Us last and
what they are TO he will not be known
until the board meeting in December.

Three Hurt i'm Runaway.

Last Saturday afternoon a serious ac-
cident occurred in the vicinity of Grace
ham in which three persons were injured,
one possibly fatally.
Mr.. Frank Willhide who resides near
Ladiesburg, left home with his family
intending to visit his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Josiah E. Willhide, of Lantz vicini-
ty. The afternoon being pleasant they
were having very pleasant trip. Know
ing that his father came to Thurmont on
Saturday evening, they had prepared a
lunch, and when they arrived at the
pump near Mr.. John Joys, at Graceham,
they stopped, tied the horse and ate their
lunch.
When ready to resume their journey
Mr.. Willhide united the horse and led
him to the water trough. Having rope
halter around the horses neck, he took
the bride off. The horse was not thirsty
and turning his head around saw the top
of the carriage and scared and started to
run. MIR. Willhide was thrown across
the trough, but got up and caught the
horse by the nose and in the struggle
both fell, the horse on top of Mr.. Will
hide. The horse got up and again start
ed the buggy passing over Mr.. Willhide.
Mr.. Wilhide grabbed hold of the rear
axle, got on his feet and climbed into the
carriage and from there on the horses

err on horseback tried to stop the runa-
way. Mr.. Wlllhide had hold of the rope
on the neck of the horse. Mr.. Hesser
forced the horse to the side of the road
and at Mr.. Adam Zentz residence the
carriage struck locust tree, the force
of the collision upsetting the carriage
and threw the horse, Mr.. Willhide agar
landing underneath. Mrs. Willhide anC
her three children were thrown out, she
receiving severe bruises about the body
and one of the children receiving bruises
about the neck by being caught under
the fender of the carriage. The harnes.
and carriage were very badly torn ant
broken. With the assistance of Messr:
Zentz and Hesser these were repaired
and the horse, which stopped at Gent;
barn, hitched up and Mr.. Willhide ant
family started for their home at Ladies
burg.
Mr.. Josiah Willhide received word o
the accident and went to see his son OF
Sunday morning, remaining until Monday

BIG FIRE IN FREDERICK.

In one of the largest fires in Frederick
in many years the tannery OF Geo. X.
Birely q Sons, the oldest and one OF the
largest old process establishments in the
United States, with the paint shop and
freight shed of the Frederick and Mid
dletown electric road, four freight cars
loaded with wheat, a new passenger car
of the Myersville and Hagerstown cleo
trio road, valued at SIS, 600, and two houses
belonging to Mrs. Sarah Baer, were
burned Sunday night.
A house belonging to the Monocacy
Valley Packing Company, and two others
owned by Mrs. Luther Frazier and Mrs.
MAY hue, aujoining the Baer property on
Baltimore and Ohio avenue, were also on
fire, but were extinguished with small
loss.
The loss is estimated at between $45,-
600 and $50, 900. On the Birely property
the loss will reach between $35, 900 and
$4,000 fully insured. The loss ON the
will be about So, 800 and that of the rail-
road company about $40, 900, all insured.
1t is supposed that the fire started in
a car filled with hay. 1t was discovered
by children on Carroll street. A brisk
west wind sent the flames against the
large paint shed and in an instant it was
ablazc. The fire then communicate to
the Birely tannery Immediately adjoining
beginning in big shed filled with bark.
The place bulned like finder, spreading
with great rapidity to an adjoining bark
shed, finishing house, drying house, office
building, engine house and sheds. A
slight change in the wind sent sparks to-
ward the main car barn and adjoining
residences, on E. Patrick street, but
the wind again changed and drove the
flames in an opposite direction.
The fire department surrounded the
fire, which embraced an area of about S
acres, and fought the flames in heroic
manner. The close proximity of Bow
ers' lumber yard and other valuable
properties gave rise to fear, but after an
hour the firemel had the flames under
control.
The tannery plant, together with 500
tons of bark, hundreds of finished and
unfinished hides, large stock of leather
and equipment was totally destroyed. $3.50.

Liberty Pole for Antieta III.

A liberty pole 1O7 feet long will be
erected on Antietam battle field by the
Philadelphia Brigade Association. The
pole is now on the way, having left
Philadelphia on Saturday. 1t is being
hauled here on wagon drawn by six
horses, the distance being about $50
miles.
The pole was too large for shipment
on the railroad. 1t is an Oregon pro-
duct, and three flat cars were required
for it's transportation from the Pacific
Slope to Manayunk, where it was sepa-
rated into lower mast measuring 65
feet and top mast measuring AZ feet.
1t was foated down the Schuylkill from
Manayunk to Philadelphia, where it was
hoisted from the water by steam der
rick and placed on wagon, hitched to
six horses, ready for its long journey to
Maryland
The pole weighs more than three tons
and is ~ inches in diameter at the bot
tom, tapering to 8 inches on the top pin
nacle. On account of the long distance
and great length of the pole the team
is proceeding slowly.
The pole will be erected along the Ha'
gerstown turnpike, 200 yards from the
old Dunkard Church, which was used as
a hospital during the Civil War, and neal
the spot where the monument erected tt
the memory of the members of the Phil
adelphia Brigade who fell at Antietan
stands. This brigade consisted of the
Sixth, Ninth, Seventy-second and the
One Hundred and Sixth Regiments, al
of which were recruited in Philadelphia
A flag will be floated from the pole OF
September II, the anniversary of tn
battle of Antietam. Col. John w. Fra
zier, president of the Philadelphia Bri
gade Association, and number of tn
members will be present.
