The total vote-Drach, 425; Beo.
176. Draeh's majority, 24s.
According to canvass made of the
city prior to the election there were
over thres hundred voters who stayed
at home and refused to cast ballot
for either party.
The defeated ticket made the race on
a platform which called for raising the
saloon license from $500 to $1,000 and
the enforcement of the Sunday and mid
night closing laws and regulation Of
other vices and the elimination Of slot
machines and other gambling. The
campaign was quiet andthe democrats
acknowledge that that they would have
stood no show whatever had they not
brought forward the water question ut

NEW CASTLE TIES FOE MAYOR

Although it is reported that the eler-
ton was very quiet in New Castle. the
result of the vote for the two canot-
dates for mayor would indicate that
there had been some tall old hustling
by their friends. W. z. Sykes and
Johnny Ritter were the opposing candi-
dates and when the ballots were counted
it was found that each had received
81 votes, thus tied for the first place
in the city government. Trustees were
elected as follows: G. L. Noren, G. W.
Smueser and George Norris. Emma An
derson was elected city treasurer.
The vets and drys did not get to pull
of their battle owing to the failure OF
the irys to make proper petition 70
have the question placed before the
voters. In securing the names on the
petition, the place Of residence was
omitted, thus the petition was held to be
illegal. However, the church people
were very active on election day and 1t
is claimed that, while New Castle viii
have saloons, the new trustees will en'
force the law and see that Glenwood
tactics are not followed by their dis
pensers Of booze.

Views Afoot
THE LuRE OF The CITY

The result of the recent census has
demonstrated anew that humanity is
gradually forsaking the country and
gathering in the cities and towns.
AT the same time, and for the reason
given above, the struggle for subsis-
tence in the cities is growing sterner,
more desperate, and more hopeless.
There are several millions of toiling
people, whose total earnings hardly CO.
yer the barest cost of living, and who
can never under present conditions at
tain to the common comforts of life.
And it is due to this same migration
from country to city, that the world is
facing wheat famine, that products
of the soil are commanding higher and
still higher prices, and that dairy, and
orchard, and garden are becoming
more profitable with each succeeding
year.
1t is hard thing to determine lust
why people should choose to herd them
selves together in the cities when they
know how bitter the struggle they face,
and how certain the disappointments
born of poverty and ill fortune Per-
haps the explanation lies in the social
instinct, by which we enjoy the COM
pany of our fellows. Or it may be that
it is to be charged instead against our
educational system, which has given
us false ideals and provided training
fitted exclusively for the vocations and
pursuits of the city.
AT any rate the remedy is not hard
to see. The country life is the COM
Portable, Independent one; and the
young man, who is able to interpret
the signs of the times Alright, is more
reluctant to take his chances in the big
city than are his thoughtless comrades.
To be producer instead of consumer
is the golden key to prosperity in the
presentand coming generations. Year
ly farm products mount to higher
values while doctors and dentists and
bookkeepers and clerks in the big cities
find that their power to save grows
gradually smaller.
! The training of our young people
needs new twist. When boy re-
turns from college he should be as good
a farmer as his father, or even a better
one so far as knowledge of the science
of agriculture is concerned agri-
culture Isl as scientific as medicine or
civil engineering. And the college
girl should be an expert in domestic
science aud sanitation.
| When farmers have learned to deve-
lop new and superior strains of plants
and animals by scientific selection, as
does Mr.. Burbank for instance, agricul-
ture will be regarded as one of the most
technical sciences, and it will attain to
which it is rightly entitled. Even now
the scientific farmer, who can achieve
as we'll as dream, is one of our most
useful members of society. His place
is being fixed several notches higher
than in the past, and rightly so since
HE IS A DIRECTING FORCE in the in
dustry upon which all other industries

HOUSE BURNED
Frank Bart1ett's House Burned To
The Ground, Thursday Last,
Contents Nearly All Destroyed

Last Thursday, while engaged in
her usual household duties, Mrs.
Frank Bartlett discovered their res
idence in Hamliu township to be on
fire and as the blaze had got be-
yond control when discovered, all
che could do was to save what pro-
perty she could which was only a
bed and some chairs. 1t seems her
husband was not at home at the
time and she could do but little to-
ward saving the property. Fortu-
nately the property had been in
cured not long before 30 that while
the loss will be considerable it ia
not total which is great satisfac-
ton in these times when building
material is so high. We learn that
he will at once commence rebuild
ing 80 as to be able to go into the
new building before the storms of
winter appear.

ACCIDENTALLY BURNED
Chi1d's Clothing Catches Fire From A
Match While Playing. Severely
but not Dangerously Injured

Wednesday of this week, Pearl
one of the two year old twin girls
of Mr.. aud Mrs. J. w. Kline was SER
iously but not dangerously burned
by match setting her clothing on
fire. The girl and her 4-year old
brother were out near the barn
playing when the mother hearing
the child scream ran around the
house and saw the smoke and
flames, running to the child's as
sistance she grabbed wooden
sweater off the fence and wrapping
the child in that soon had the fire
put out. On examination the right
eide from the hip to the top of the
ear was scorched 80 the outer skin
came off but the physician in at
tendance pronounced the burns as
not deep though painful. The little
boy is supposed to have procured
the match from the house by climb
ing on chair and either ignited, it
or gave it to his eister with the
above result.

rs YEARS o.
In MEMORY OF
Edmund H. Freeman, Son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. ]. Freeman And Husband
Of Mrs. Flora Wilson Freeman
Died At GlenWoOd.

Edmund Henry Freeman was born
near Audubon Nov. 1lth, 1874 and died
at Glenwood Saturday, September 24th
1910, aged 35 years, 10 months and l3
days. In early boyhood he fitted him
self to be an electrician and for nearly
fifteen years he followed it as his live
lihood.
On June II, 1896 he was united in
marriage to Miss Flora Wilson. To
this union were born two beautiful
children, son and daughter. Both of
them departed to the Spirit World in
infancy.
About five years ago he became af-
ficted with heart trouble and from
that time his health has gradually
failed. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman moved
to Scotland, South Dakota four years
ago thinking the change of climate
would be beneficial to his health but
they returned to Audubon last Febru-
ary.
He was an efficient member of the
Fire Department in Audubon and
could always be depended upon when
duty was strenuous. A kinder heart
was never implanted ina human breast
kind, courteous and loving to all with
whom he came in contact, an affection
ate husband, loving son, a kind
brother and friendly with all whom he
met in daily life. He was taken sick
about two weeks ago, improved enough
so that when the tire-bell rang he has
tened to the call where he worked
hard. Again he was seized with heart
failure and in day or two became un-
conscious and sank to rest.
While but young man his spirit
has gone to Him who gave it. 1t was
peculiarly sad and trying to his father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Free
man, on account of their absence, the
news reaching them two days after
his death, at Washington whittier
they had gone after attending the
meeting of the National Encampment
G. A. r. at Atlantic City, New Jersey.
A sorrowing companion, father and
mother, Mrs. w. FL. O'Connell of Los
Angeles, Miss Ethel Freeman, d. L.
Freeman, VIM. Freeman, E. Q, Free
man and John A. Freeman of Audi.
bon, and large number of relatives
and friends mourn his early demise.
His body lay instate at his late home
in Audubon. Funeral at First Al. e.
Church Thursday afternoon, conduct
ed by the Rev. ]. H. Freedline assist
ed by Rev. A. B. Miller. Interment
was at Maple Grove Cemetery.
