THE MODERN w00DMEN.
Entertained BY Music, Addresses
And Moving Pictures.

On Tuesday evening the members of
the Modern Woodmen Of America to-
gether with their families were pleas
antly entertained at the Woodmen Hall
and the Gem Theatre. About $3.50 the
hall was filed when Neighbor J. NJ.
Renftle took charge and presided during
the program. Good music was furnished
by the Woodman Orchestra made up of
Messers Drake, Davis, Doughett, Iced
and Swart with Mrs. G. H. Wilde at
the piano. The Woodman male quar-
tette consisting of Messers Landrum,
Marlin, Rachel and Samson sang sever
al appropriate selection. Venerable Con-
sui Marlin gave an address of welcome
and Rev. j. II. Freedline spoke of fra.
ternity and the great benefits that re-
suit from fraternal insurance organiza-
tons especially the Modern Woodmen
of America. which is the greatest of its
kind in the world. Light refreshments
were served after which the company
repaired to the Gem Theatre where the
proprietor Mr.. Carl Hoover compliment
ed the lodge by an hours entertainment
that was much appreciated. The room
was crowded to the doors by happy
but very quiet audience. Those who
arranged and carried out the program
of the evening are all entitled to the
thanks of the order.

Wilde Gains His Contest.

Chas. H. Wilde went to Rapid City,
Pennington county, South Dakota, two
years ago and filed on claim. But a
man by the name of Fred j. Tucker
filed protest against it and Mr.. Wilde
had given up hope of keeping it. Mr..
Tucker received word from Washington
some time ago giving him thirty
days notice in which to file his protest,
but he did not do so and Mr. Wilde re-
ceived letter last week from Washing.
ton stating that he was entitled to the
claim and he will go M there about the
18th. of this month to look after it. He
may have to go to the trouble of filing
on it again. The claim is worth about
$4,000 now. We are pleased to hear OF
Chas' success.

CARNEGIE LIBRARIES
BENEFIT THE PEOPLE
He Aims To Help Those People
Who Are Willing To
Help Themselves.

We publish the following article from
the Council Bluffs Nonpariel because it
is right in point at this time. The
Nonpariel says:
Andrew Carnegie is a canny Scot.
This is equivalent to saying that he is
intensely practical. He is not carried
away by sentimental schemes of altru-
ism. In answer to the question why
he was giving money for the establish
ment of libraries instead of giving for
other purposes; he replied briefly as
follows:
II chose free libraries as best agen-
les for improving the masses of the
people, because they give nothing for
nothing. They only help those who
help themselves. They never pauper-
ize. They reach the aspiring, and open
to these the chief treasures of the
world-those stored in books. A taste
for reading drives out lower tastes.
Besides this, believe good fiction one.
of the most beneficial reliefs to the
monotonous lives of the poor. For
these and other reasons l prefer the
free public library to most if not any
other agency for the happiness and i'm
provement of community"
The notion is prevalent that success
in life is the result of sort of alchemy,
Men deliberately establish and follow
habits which cannot result in anything
but failure. And then they spend time
attributing their station in life to the
government, to the church, to the sa-
loon or to lack of time and opportunity.
Carnegie is materialistic. He looks
through all this maze of self deception
and sees that the prime necessity in
the individual is that little germ called
desire to better ones self. Without
that desire little can be done for the
individual. The church can do but lit
tie for the man who will do nothing
for himself. Free government and
golden opportunity mean nothing to the
man who will not use them to develop
his talents.
Carnegie's philosophy is sound. He
spreads table of good things for his
fellowmen on the theory that those
who have disposition to help them
selves may thus find the means.
There is world wide field for useful
endeavor, however, in getting the
growing boys and girls in touch with
these things. This germ of desire is
dormant in the minds of large num-
Der of people. The problem of man.
kind is to reach it in the individual and
make it strong. The library is merely
a skeleton. 1t takes live men and
women to clothe it with flesh and make
it pulsate with life giving energy.

THE LIBRARY QUESTION
SETTLED NEXT MONDAY
The People OF Audubon Have An
Opportunity To Secure Free
Building And Free Library.

1t is said that opportunities pass by
our door but once and unless we seize
them at the opportune moment they are
gone forever. Whether or not this Is
true as a general proposition we do moi
know; but we are very sure that some
opportunities come but once and we
think that is true of the library ques,
ton. The people of Audubon now have
a great opportunity to do something
that will be lasting credit to the town
and benefit to the community. A
chance to get a fine public building
worth 80, 900 doesn't often come to a
town and the probabilities are that il
this chance is not improved it will never
come again.
We do not know of any serious oppo-
sition. But no matter what Is pre-
sented at the polls some people are
against it. If a mansion on the main
street of Paradise were offered free
they would be against itunless heat and
light were also furnished So far as we
we have heard the only point made
against the library is the increased tax
alton necessary to maintain it.
If the tax were large this might be
worthy of consideration. But the
amount to any one individual will be so
small that any one can pay it without
sacrifice. A resident owning a little
home on which he pays $3.50 tax will
pay 25 cents more for the library; If he
now pays $500 tax it will cost him so
cents more; if he now pays $50 90 tax it
will cost him 81 90 more, which is just
the same as an annual library ticket
costs at the present time. With free
library there would be no expense for a
ticket.
1t is almost uncomfortable that the
proposition for free public library
could be defeated in town having the
intelligence and the public spirit like
the town of Audubon; and yet it
has been done in some other
places because many people in favor of
it allowed it to go by default. 1t is not
simply question Of having majority.
SO let every man and every woman who
desires a free public building to which
they can point with pride, attend the
polls next Monday and vote for the
proposition that will be submitted.
The question as to who will have
charge of the free public library if one
shall be established in Audubon has
been raised by some of our citizens.
This is fully provided for by the law
which says that I'm any city or town
in which free public library has been
established, there shall be board of
library trustees, consisting of nine
members, to be appointed by the mayor,
by and with the approval of the coun-

Gil. Bona-fide citizens and residents of
the city or town, male or female, over
the age of twenty one years, are alone
eligible to membership" The trustees
will not receive any compensation what
ever for their services. Such board
would have full charge of choosing a
site, erecting the building, choosing the
librarian and selecting the books and
periodicals.
If we are to have q building paid for
by Mr.. Carnegie to what purpose will
the 5000 annual tax be appliedI That
will be expended for the maintenance
of the library which will include the
heating, lighting, care and repairs of
the building, the salary of the librarian
and the purchase of books and period
icals.

GRISSELL OF GUTHRIE
STANDS FOR HARMONY
He Seems To Have Been Thoroughly
Converted And We Trust He
Will Not Back Slide.

Alex Grissell, of the Guthrie Center
Guthrian who has been champing the
bit for congressional fray has met
Judge w. r. Green and is satisfied
that his honor is well calculated to re-
store peace to the troubled waters.
From the way Grissell has been cock
ing his spurs for fight it might be
concluded that what pleases him would
not be good for the rest of us but we
prefer him to fall in line With his recon-.
mendation and join in the harmony
program. --Fontanelle Observer.
For the past ten years, we have been
saying mean things about the brethren
of the press, who differed from US in a
political way and have had mean things
said about us in return. We have
alienated friends and part of time
carried about with us Crouch that in
terfered with our digestion. And the
question is what has it profited us? In
political tussel. we had the temporary
satisfaction of beating the other fellows
to it and then again we have been
beaten which left bad taste in our
mouth. We followed the political
game, and played it, not for revenue
or office, but for fun. Asthe advancing
years come upon us the militant spirit
that once was the dominant force that
actuated too many times our motive.
has waned. Its not peace that we have
to fight for that is now alluring to our
soul, but the peace that comes from a
feeling of unity, and good fellowship,
is that which gives us satisfaction
We have resolved, notwithstanding
hell is paved with good resolutions, that
in the future we will try to, If possible,
to attain thru peaceful methods what
we believe to be the best interest of the
republican party. No more ''champing
of the bit" for your uncle Alex. From
now on we are going to spread the
ointment, like that which ran down
Aarons beard to the skirts of his gar
ment, Smear it over Sherm Myers and
Roy Stacy, and we will not have any
more trouble in the Ninth district.

Guthrie Tops The Market.

w. J. O'Brien of Guthrie county,
Iowa, topped the Chicago horse market
here today with carload of 1900 to 1000
pound draft geldings. At $50 the young
Iowan stood cool and determined at the
enterance of Dexter Park with his car
load OF champion draft geldings of mas
sive bone and weight awaiting his turn.
When they entered the arena the large
crowd of spectators arose in their seats
to watch the noble drafters sell to the
highest bidder. The first horse, hand
some Bay Belgian weighing ton was
knocked down to Armour & Co. for 1855
the second, well matched pair of Bel
gians with good conformation and draf-
ty type, was taken by the International
Harvester Co. for show team at 500;
the third, 1900 pound Bay Shire, to
Armour & Co. for $3.50; the fourth,
pair of $500 pound black Normans with
white points, Armour & Co. for $500;
the next, black horse, weight 1900,
Armour & Co. 1905; the next, bay team
weighing $500, to Hines Lumber Co.,
5000; next, bay horse, weight 1850, to
Donagon of Boston, $500; next, well
matched pair of blue roans, weight s4Oo
to Kelly of Massachusetts for $500; next,
a pair of dapple gray Normans, weight
1900, to Colman of Boston for 5000;
next, brown Belgian, to Armour & Co..
$500. We congratulate Mr.. O'Brien on
such good load of draft horses and he
has proved himself to the horsemen of
Chicago to be an expert judge and
thorough horseman. Breeders Gazette.

MAJOR ANDERSON SUR.
RENDERED FORT SUMTER
Fifty Years Ago To-day After A
Strenuous Effort Made To
''fioId The Fort"

Twas the spring of 1851. The war
clouds hung heavy over the land. Con-
federate forces were enlisting and drill
ing for the fray. Fort Sumter was
threatened. Lincoln sent vessel con-
tanning supplies. Before they were re-
ceived Beauregard demanded surrender.
Major Anderson refused. The fort was
bombarded And the word went through
the country Fort Sumter Has Fallen. F"
The first gun had been fired. The war
had begun. OF that momentous hour
writer in Harper's Weekly says;
1t'was April 18th, at 4:SO in the
morning when George s. James of
Charlestown, pulled the lanyard of a
single gun from Fort johnson. Imme-
diately afterward Edmund Ruffian, an
aged but red hot secessionist Virginian,
fired the shotted gun from Morris Is
land. Not until Z o'clock in the morning
did Sumter make its return Against
the sixty four enlisted men, whose force
had been augmented by the volunteer.
ing of the forty-three workmen then in
the fortress, were arranged 3, 700 in the
confederate batteries. As, well as they
could the garrison kept up reply,
fighting mostly from the lower tiers. BY
noon the number of cartridges were al
most expended. More cartridge bags
had to be made. A search among the
soldiers disclosed the fact that there
were but six needles. The return fire had
to be slackened while clothing was being
torn apart and sewed into bags for the
powder as fast as the needles could work.
BY evening they were reduced to only
pork and water. There was no oil for
any of the lamps, neither were there
breech-sights for the guns; they had to
be improvised from notched sticks. The
enemy's shells landed with more and
more accuracy within the fort as the
beleagures gained practice, but the day
closed without much material damage
to Sumter's defensive strength. Every
ten or fifteen minutes during the night
that followed the batteries would throw
shells.
AT daylight on the 18th the pounding
began again. The new 12-pounder Blake
ley rifle imported from England and
put in position by the confederates only
a few days before did the most damage
owing to the depth of the penetration of
its shot. A sergeant and three men were
wounded by fragments thrown off from
the walls. Fire broke out; the officers
quarters We're soon in flames. 1t was
dangerou to carry much powder from
the magazine. and soon that itself was
in peril. All but five barrels were thrown
into the sea. The men in the lower tiers
were threatened with suffocation. As
General Doubleday wrote afterwards:
