Judge Green's career upon the bench.
By disposi ton and training Judge
Greer is peculiarly fitted for this posi-
ton, aspd occupies the advantage of an
intimate personal acquaintance with
the voters of nearly every county in
this congressional district.
1t now looks as though Judge Green
would receive the nomination without
contest, it being generally believed
that he is the proper candidate upon
whom Republicans can unite, and who
can be elected with the usual majority.
Should Judge Green be nominated we
predict that he will be elected by an un
usually large majority, and that his
career in Congress will be watched with
interest by his many friends in Audu-
bon County.

Views Afoot
A "MEAN OLD THING"

1t happened not long ago that
number of women called on DR.. Woods
Hutchinson, the well-known author Of
popular magazine articles relating to
hygiene and health.
This particular delegation represen-
ted local antivivisection society; and
the women had called to express their
adherence of the scientific practice of
performing needless surgical operations
upon the lower animals in the pursuit
of scientific knowledge.
To be sure, it is difficult subject,
and there is something to be said on
both sides. But the uncomfortable
doctor sat gallantly through the indig-
nant lectures, which his fair visitors
had prepared for his special benefit,
expressing their horror of what they
considered most cruel and barbarous
practice.
After they had finished, the genial
doctor replied in his sweetest and GEN
tlest accents that while he would vii
llngly cut up perfectly good cat, if by
so doing he might secure knowledge
which would enable himself or Others
to save human life, or perhaps
hundred human lives, still he had no
yer reached the point where he could
kill the beautiful s'aigrstte bird" as abe
mothered her nestlings, take away her
plumes, and mercilsssly leave the help.
less little ones to starve in the nest
while she rotted by their side, and all
this, not to achieve any useful object.
but simply to crafty idle human van
ity.
Now, the truth is that it was terri
bly, disconeerting reply. The ladies
had not expected any such flank attack;
and it is not recorded that single one
of them, out of the whole crowd, could
think of anything to answer back. It
was simply awful and became more
and more so as they glanced around
the circle and saw that their own lea
der's hat was decorated with snowy
aigrette plume, and that several others
were decked out in the wings and skins
OF innocent teathered songsters.
OF course there might have been a
riot; and the doctor might have been
mobbed for his audacity. But it didn't
happen so. Instead, their embarress-
ment became discontinue, and this
led to a sort of orderly retreat. So that
presently the doctor found himself
alone and in possession of the field.
Still. such sudden and unexpected
switching of the subject does seem ra-
ther heartless, when we stop to think
of it. He is evidently mean old
thing.

SAD DEATH
Magraetta Nelson, The Twelve Year
Old Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Nelson, Stricken With Deadly
MembranouS Group.

Mr. and Mrs. John Nelson of this
city are called upon to mourn the
death of their youngest daughter, Ma
graetta, bright girl Of twelve years,
who passed away last Monday at the
noon hour after short illness with
membranous Group. She attended
school one day last week and com.
planned some of eight soreness of
the throat but nothing serious was
thot of it as so many children and
adults we're complaining likewise and
it was not until the last of the week
that she took to her bed and the di-
sease soon developed and assumed an
aggravated form; although all that
could be done for her that was poss-
ible was done. A trained nurse was
sent for and came and took charge on
Sunday.
Owing to the nature of the disease
interment took place that night, the
remains being laid to rest in the Ext
"a Cemetery. A large circle of friends
tender their heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved parents in this their great
aff1iction, rendered douoly so by the
nature of the disease rendering it Inn
possible to offer the aid and assistance
accorded in the majority ofcases when
death enters the household.
,We:learn that another child was Ia
ken down with the disease on Mon
day. The premises were placed under
strict quarantine % soon as the nature
ofthe disease was made known and all
precautions have been taken to see
that the school rooms are disinfected
to insure against the spread of the
dread malady. The Epworth League
members had made suitable provision
for the lining of the grave and Rev.
Harmed officiated at the Cemetery in
q few appropriate words.

SHIP A'HOY!
After Nearly Forty Years Of Hard
Knocks on Audubon County Farms
George R. Spencer Retires

Starting with bare hands an empty
pocket-book, but an indomitable will,
George R.Spencer and wife took on the
battle of life near Hamlin, Audubon
County, Iowa between thirty and for
ty years ago; and besides raising q
family have accumulated $40 acres of
the cream of the land of this county
which he has rented to good tenants
for $1,000. per year. With the excep-
ton of a few years successful business
experience that Mr.. Spencer and his
son, Charles had in Extra, they have
constantly lived on the farm.
Mr.. Spencer informs us that as he
was raised near the waters of Merry
England he has always cherished the
thought that he would again take up
reside' ce near natural water. Charles
his only son. h wing permanently set
tied at Lake View, he thought the
companionship in his declining years
wou,d be pleasant as we'll as the other
pleasures the move would afford,
would be the most sensible one to
make. George purchased fine home
near the lake and has moved his fami-
ly to it. He has purchased fine gaso-
line launch and will, we hope live to
enjoy the pleasures that seem to be
his. And with his excellent family we
trust that q siiver lining will neutra-
