The Bllharz Automobile.

The Bilharz families received their fine
new automobile on Thursday of last week
and ii has attracted much attention. 1t
is the first Pierce-Arrow machine
brought here, and is said to be much
the most expensive car ever owned by
any one in Audubon. They were quite
unfortunate while trying it out on Fri
day evening to have an accident that
caused them much annoyance and some
injury. But that was no fault of theirs
or the car. but of imprudent driving by
the young man who came here with the
auto. While up near Gray he struck a
high culvert In the back seat were,
Mr.. Emil Bilharz, his son. Edward, and
his daughter, Harriet. with little Emil
at their feet. The striking of the auto
on the culvert threw them upward
against the top which they struck with
such force as TO seriously bruise their
heads. Edward was the greatest sufferer
breaking his nose and bruising his head
badly, but his son, Emil, was unhurt
Mr.. Chas, b. Elliott who sat by the
driver cautioned him anumber of times
but he paid no heed until the accident
occurred.

THE MODERN W00DMEN
MEMORIAL SUNDAY
The Woodmen Camp No. 1T OF
Audubon Gave II Observance
With Proper Reverence.

On Sunday morning number of the
Woodmen assembled at their hall and
marched to the Methodist Episcopal
church to participate in Memorial exer-
cises in honor of the members who have
passed on before. The scriptures were
read by j. M. Renftle, worthy advisor,
and prayer was offered by G. w. Mar
lin, the venerable consul of the Audi
bon camp Rev. j. II. Freedline, a
member of the order and in hearty sym
pathy with its objects made the address.
Mr. Freedline took for his subject,
1.-THE Immortality of Influence" and
spoke in part as follows; God made
man for destiny--a destiny of right
eousness and bliss. But owing to sin
there are two destinies. One that of
life and the other that of death. Every
man shall be rewarded according to his
works. No man liveth to himself or
dieth to himself. We should therefore
study to be helpful one to another and
so fulfill the law of Christ. The leading
question should be how may / live right
because the works of men do follow
them. Our hearts should be attuned
to the welfare of our fellowmen, and
we should lend helping hand to those
who are in want.
The speaker discussed what he pleased
to call the rivalries between the church
and the fraternal orders. He stated
very positively that nothing else. no
matter how good it may be, can take
the place of the church. Fraternal
orders are doing work for the temporal
benefit of mankind that was not being
done by the church; and in that way
supplementing the work of the church.
No one should attempt to substitute
any order for the church nor claim that
being member of some order is as
good as being church member. While
the church should always be accorded
first place the orders are doing much
excellent work for humanity in want
The bible is the foundation not only of
the church but of THO orders as well.
The Modern Woodmen form fine order
made up of good citizens 1t has done
and is doing great work to relieve the
needy and help those who are in want.
In the afternoon some members
marched to the cemetery to decorate
the graves of our dead ''Neighbors.
Had the day not been so very warm
many more would have been present at
the exercises.

BENEDICT is ALL RIGHT
He Would Make A Capable And
Popular Secretary OF State.

For a number of years past C. r.
Benedict of this county has been soil
cited by his political friends throughout
the state, of whom he has a large num-
Der, to become candidate for some
state Office on the Republican ticket.
To these solicitations he has always
heretofore offered firm refusal.
This year the solicitations have been
renewed, especially in regard to his be-
becoming a candidate for secretary of
state, to succeed the present incumbent.
who is serving his third term, and will
not be candidate for reelection. Mr..
Benedict has consented to consider the
matter, to this extent: He is willing to
become the party's candidate, if it shall
become apparent after his name has had
some public consideration, that there is
a more than considerable demand there
for. This is not a formal announcement
of his candidacy-just a bare announce
ment of the fact that Mr.. Benedict is
willing to be considered. If there shall
be sufficient response to his expressed
willingness to stand, his formal an
nouncement will be made at the proper
time preceding the primary next year.
Mr.. Benedict has wide state &C
quaintance, gained by service thru the
seven last sessions of the General
Assembly as chief clerk of the House.
1t may well be believed that he would
not have this record of service in the
one position had he not been a most
capable official. And it may not be
generally known that his election has
been by unanimous vote of the house in
every instance save one, and in that
