The lecture at the Christian Church
last Friday night by Rev. p. j. Pond on
the country of New Zealand was one
that should have been heard by much
larger audience. New Zealand is an
island in the southern ocean and located
about 1900 miles from Australia. When
the white man went there they found
it inhabited by the Maouris dark
skinned race with fairly good features
and average intelligence. Before them
the country had been populated by an
other race. That the Maouris receive
some recognition by the whites is shown
by the fact that four of them had seats
in the last legislature. Had it not been
for the coming of the white race which
has dominated now for long time the
Maouris would probably have been ex-
tinct before this because of warfare
among the people caused by internecine
strife. The country is well governed
and in many things desirable place to
live. The lecture was well delivered
by Mr. Pond who is thoroughly familiar
with the country and its conditions and
was well illustrated by the use of a
steripoticon.

The Audubon Chautauqua.

Chautauqua patrons remember the
Kirksmith Sisters Orchestra, the popu-
lar number appearing on the first day
of last year. This season we are to
have another sexette of winsome girls,
the Dunbar Singing Orchestra, for the
first days musical program.
DIR. William Edgar Cell, the explorer.
who comes to speak at Chautauqua, is
said to be six feet four inches tall and
otherwise formidable looking. Once a
body of cannibals made rush for him
but noticing his great size. gave it up
as bad job.
Hon. Arthur X. Peck who gives
illustrated lectures on Life Saving Ser
vice has himself served in the ranks
and knows the hazardous enterprise
from first to last.
Once when Thomas McClary. the
funny man who is coming to speak at
Chautauqua, was sitting upon plat
form during some preliminary features,
a high school senior was heard TO re-
mark: "Well, if he is as funny as he is
homely, will die a 'laughin'."

Court Adjourned Monday Afternoon.

Judge Green adjourned the district
court Monday afternoon until May IS,
when some other matters will be taken
up and disposed Of The only case of
much interest since our last issue was
the case of the State OF Iowa against
Jesse Neitzel for breaking and entering.
This case was tried to jury but was
finished in day, the jury being out
only about an hour when verdict of
guilty as charged" was rendered. On
Friday an effort was made to secure a
jury for the trial of the case Of the
State of Iowa against Godfrey Dreher,
Jr., for the same offense. Though they
worked nearly all day exhausting the
regular panel and the talesmen also
there was still one lacking and the trial
had to be abandoned until the next
term of court. On Monday Neitzel was
sentenced to hard labor at Anamosa for
a period to not exceed ten years. The
reader should remember that under the
present law the judge must give the
maximum sentence which may be re-
duced by good behavior and also by the
board of parole whose duty it is to hear
and consider extennating circumstances.
A motion for new trial was over-ruled
by Judge Green when notice of appeal
to the supreme court was filed and a
bond given in the sum OF $500.

. John McCort returned Friday morn
ing from Denison where he had been tc
attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs.
Vasser. The Denison Bulletin gives the
following account:
"As stroke of lightning from clear
sky came the stroke of death to Mrs.
Leon Vassar Tuesday noon, and as a
result the husband and children are
burdened with q sorrow that knows no
depth and seems to have no end. Mrs.
Vassar gave birth to healthy and
handsome baby boy just one weak before.
She was well and as hearty as ever,
always cheerful and hoping in a few
days more to be up and around, happy
in the family duties. Even at noon
that day she ate good meal and en-
joyed it. She chatted with her husband
in her room and he went out returning
in few moments only to find her lying
across the bed gasping the last gasps of
life. He did whatever he could to re-
vive her and then called a doctor, but
in five minutes it was seen there was no
hope, and life had left her forever.
Such shock can only be imagined by
Others but to this happy little family it
was a blow that crushed to earth.
Mrs. Vassar was an ideal mother
She was of that healthy body and sound
and sensible mind that permitted her to
carry on her work and make the best of
everything. She never complained, but
felt blessed in the bright and promising
children that had come to her. These
little ones now number five the eldest
being but eight years; and it is to them
that the greatest loss has come, for
can ever take the place of that
mother love, that good judgement and
wholesome instruction that Mrs. Vassar
always gave them" She was only SO
years of age. The funeral was held
Thursday afternoon at the Baptist
church of which she had been member.

For Secretary OF State.

Although the primary election for
nominating candidates for election in
1912 is still more than a year away,
there is already much talk about men
who will enter the race. Among those
mentioned for places on the state ticket
is Hon. E. d. Chassell of LeMars, who
is ON the last year of his term as state
binder. From a long personal acquain-
lance we know Mr.. Chassell to be a
gentleman of high moral character and
in every way capable to fill the position
he seeks with honor to himself and the
state. Mr.. Chassell has represented his
county in the Legislature and possesses
wide acquaintance with public men
throughout the state both in business
and politics He is an active and en-
thusiastic Republican and If he shall
become candidate he will start with a
long lead in many respects over any
others who may run for the place.

JUDGE GREEN is
STILL In THE LEAD
The Outlook Good For His Nominal
tion As Candidate For Congress
From Ninth District.

Judge Green LETT Monday afternoon
for a. little trip around the district to
keep his friends in mind that he is in
dead earnest about getting the nomlna-
ton for Congress TO fill the unexpired
term of Judge Smith 1t has been con-
coded, even by the other candidates,
that Judge Green will go into the con-
vention with the largest number of
delegates. 1t is also admitted by those
best acquainted that the Judge has the
lead IN respect to ability, experience in
public affairs, and acquaintance ameng
the voters in the district.
OPPOSED To CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
As stated over his own signature last
week Judge Green is opposed to the
agreement for Reciprocity with Canada
because il is a cardinal doctrine of the
republican party that our home indus
tries should be protected against foreign
competitors who possess an advantage;
and because it is unfair to the farmers
to take away the little protection that
they now have and oblige them to COM
pete with owners of cheaper lands at
less expense.
JUDGE GREEN Nor AN INsURGENT.
We take pleasure in assuring the
standpatters in the district that Judge
Green has not been in favor of insur-
gency in the republican party; and that
If he should be sent to Washington he
would not be an insurgent. Though he
has been aligned with the progressives
in many of their contentious for addi-
tional legislation TO control the railroads
and other corporations, he has always
supported the conclusions of the major
ity in respect to issues and candidates;
and is firm in his opinion that TO have
success there can be but one republican
party.
CONVENTIONS SATURDAY AND
TUESDAY.
The county convention to select dele
gates to the district Convention will be
held in Audubon next Saturday after
noon; and the district convention will
be held at Council Bluffs next Tuesday
afternoon This county has but seven
delegates. But there should be q dele
cation of not less than fifty go from
Audubon to show the other counties, of
the district that we are enthusiastic for
our candidate and also for the success
of the republican party on the day Of
election.

Police Inspector Pardoned.

Henry Savage of the Republican office
was very much pleased last week when
Governor Deneen of Illinois granted a
pardon to Edward McCann, former
police inspector in Chicago and per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Savage. McCann
had beat in the hardest part of the
city and was convicted of taking brides
to permit the violation of the law. The
better people never believed that the
testimony was credible and a monster
petition was presented to the Board of
Pardons asking his release and the
Board recommended that it be done.
Among the petitioners was Col. Roose-
welt and many leading men and women
of Illinois who believed that Mccain
had been railroaded to prison upon
trumped up evidence in order to protect
somebody else.

The sunday CLOSING Law.

Perry, is to enforce the Sunday closing
law. Because of having no saloons
Perry has been generally thought to be
a very law abiding town, yet it develops
that merchandising business has been
carried on there on Sundays the same
as on other days in most every line.
Coon Rapids quit this years ago, no
shops but the butchers and eating
houses serving patrons, and the drug
stores during the ice cream and soda
water season. The truth is that Coon
Rapids is far ahead in Sunday closing
and morals and progressive spirit than

Important viii Decision.

Judge Wheeler entered decree in
Council Bluffs last week bearing upon a
provision not uncommon in will that
if an heir dies without issue the inheri-
lance shall revert to the other heirs.
This decision establishes that this pro-
vision in will. can be of effect only as
applied to heirs who die prior to the
death of the maker of the will. After
the death of the maker the property
becomes vested in the heirs and their
lawful heirs cannot be deprived of their
right of Inheritance.
