Pleasant Birthday Party.

The beautiful country home of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Rutherford was the
scene of much merriment last Thursday
evening when a number of Miss Vera s
friends gathered to the number of fifty,
and participated in celebrating her 10th
birthday anniversary. The home was
beautifully decorated in color scheme
of white and pink.
The early part of the evening was
spent in song and selections on the
piano Then came a number of inter.
esting games in which was included a
guessing contest. Miss Bessie Ross won
the prize, guessing nearest the correct
number of seeds contained in a small
sized pumpkin. Refreshments were
then served by the Misses Inez and
Alice Rutherford and Miss Eunice
Nelson, which consisted of all the
dainties SO tastefully prepared by Mrs.
Rutherford, who well understands the
art and science of cooking. The hour
of departing came altogether too soon
for the merry makers, but before leav-
ing they left many beautiful gifts for
Miss Vera, to ever remind her of the
loyalty and friendship of her many
admirers.

ensen VS. Andrew Karstensen was the
next on docket and held the attention
of the court from Friday afternoon un-
til late Monday evening. Mr.. Mort
ensen brought suit against Mr.. Karst-
ensen for damages to character in the
amount of $4,000. Mr.. Karstensen
brought a counter-claim for like
amount. A large number of witnesses
were examined on both sides. ]. M.
Graham was counsel for Mortensen
and Mantz & White for Karstensen.
The case went to the jury Monday
evening at 1000 o'clock and verdict
was rendered at three a. m. Tuesday
morning, awarding damages to Mort
ensen in the sum of one cent.
In the case of Martin Fritz, the six
teen year old lad who was charged

lad plead guilty and the judge SEN
fenced him to the reformatory for
boys, at Eldora, where he was taken
by Sheriff Crees Monday evening.

Anderson saw the accident and went
to Mr.. Griffith's assistance but before
he reached him he had extricated him

the car did not receive as much damage

the wheel and will not pay any at

BIG TRAGEDY
IN A TRUNK
Depot Employees Suspicion Trunk and
Believe Noise Was That Of a
Young Child.

There was considerable excitement
at the Burlington station at Corning
the other day, when tragedy in
trunk was enacted before the very eyes
of the depot attaches, and Agent Joe
Stranad, who have hardly yet recovered
from the shock.
Among the trunks received at the de-
pot was suspicious looking old fash
Toned receptacle. 1t was dumped into
one corner of the baggage room and
was quite a curiosity to the many
around the depot. Finally the agent
said he had been noticing the quint
old trunk and had heard noise come
from it that did not sound natural and
he believed there was something wrong.
This aroused the curiosity and anxiety
of the depot gentlemen and they went
to the baggage room and Mr.. Stranad
put his ear down to the trunk and soon
exclaimed, my heavens, it is child!
Get me something to open the trunk
and get it quick or the child may
smother to death" Several standing
around had surplus of suggestions to
offer and finally one of them gave the
agent bunch of keys and suggested
that he might find one that would fit
and not have to break the lock; and also
suggested if the child had been in the
trunk long time it could stand it a
while longer.
Soon key was found that opened the
lock and the trunk was soon so the
anxious crowd could see the contents.
There was curious crowd of bystanders.
All stood with their mouths open. The
cover was raised and inside was found
Maltese cat and six new born kittens.
Agent Stranad did not swear.
Neither did the old lady from Taylor
county, who owned the trunk, when
she came after it, but she was highly
indignant that such liberties were taken
with her baggage.

Family Horse Runs Away.

Prince. the much petted driving horse
owned by County Superintendent, Ella
NJ. Stearns, INDUCED in Runaway this
morning when a snap on one of the
lines broke. This little accident gave
the horse dash for liberty and he
straightway made for the front porch
of the home of Joe Fl. Ross. The porch
was somewhat broken and the buggy
badly demolished. For time itlooked
serious, and it occurred to some by
ISLANDERS that Audubon county was
about to loose the only Republican
office holder in the county, but Miss
Stearns kept her head and got out of
the melee without scratch.

SHAW GETS
MORE Time.
But at Hearing Tuesday Judge Arthur
Demands That at Last $4,000
Must be Advanced.

THE Short Line and it's hackers will
have to put up some substantial
amount, or its application for more
time will be denied While / am not
deciding the matter at this time, it
seems to me that if Mr.. Shaw and his
associates would come forward-with
say $50, 000-some time might be grant
ed; but otherwise not. ..
That statement, made in open court
by Judge Thomas Arthur at the con-
clusion of over two hours of arguments
by attorneys for and against the de-
sired continuance for six months in the
Atlantic Northern 81 Southern railroad
matter, sums up the condition of af-
fairs at the time brief continuance
was made until January 4 at l p. m.
at Atlantic at the adjournment of
court Monday evening.
The continuance until January at
Atlantic was made, instead of dispos-
ing finally of the matters at this time,
because the attorneys for the creditors
seemed that the official transom in the
A. N. 81 S. case was at Atlantic instead
of Council Bluffs, and that the Shaw
syndicate could not be thrown over
board at any other place.
Judge Arthur intimated, at the con-
clusion of the long arguments, that
the syndicate must be put up at
least $4,000 in order to secure the
desired extension, and even then de-
clined to commit himself as to the pos
sible terms of the extension that might
be granted.
Because of the fears of the attorneys
that any action taken in Council Bluffs
might be questionable from technical
legal standpoint, and might result in
complications that would discourage
bidders at new sale, the hearing was
continued to Atlantic. January was
the earlist date at which all the at
torneys could be present there.

His Nose Was Cut Off.

While entering tine yards at Mason
City Saturday afternoon, l.. S. Brown,
an engineer of the NJ. & st. L., had
his nose practically severed from his
face by the tin roofing of box car,
which was standing too near the main
line.
Engineer Brown was leaning from
the cab window and says he did not
notice that the box car was so close.
The roofing on the box car had been
torn loose and projected over the side.
An effort will be made by physicians
to save the nose. Engineer Brown was
taken to his home in Marshalltown on
a special train.

So pilgrims on the scorching sand,
beneath burning sky,
Long for cooling stream at hand,
And they must drink or die.
The hill of Zion yields thousand
sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
or walk the golden streets.
In his wonderful hymn Christ's king
dom. lie sings:
Jesus shall reign, where'er the sun,
Does his successive journey run,
His kingdom stretch from shore to
shore,
Till moon shall wax and wane no more.
How simple are life's ways and years.
Benz. West, the great Artist when but
child robbed the tail of his pet cat
and took the hair and made brushes and
with bit of charcoal he painted the
sleeping face of his baby sister. And
one day when he had attained world
wide fame he was asked what made
him great he answered 1T was my
mothers kiss that made me an artist.
We might mention many other names
such as Lincoln, Moody, Wesley and
Luther, all of whom made a path to
shine after them. On the other hand
what a trail of darkening shadows,
have men like Paine and Ingersoll left
behind them. With them there is no
happy heaven. With them man lives
as the lowest brute in creation and dies
the same. These men sowed their tares
and their sowing is bringing harvest
No bright paths shine after them, but
the night of gloom spreads her wings in
those ways down which they stumbled.
What shall your life and mine be in the
new yearG The past year to many of
us has been prosperous one. To others
it has been year of sorrow and dis
enlargement. Our un-failing Friend
has been true to us. We are still alive
and in our bosoms is burning that flame
of grace and love which death and time
cannot blow out.
In conclusion let US hint at only a few
things which were mentioned in the be-
ginning of this discourse. There are
three things in every life. 1st. The
past. Let no one think or be deceived
with the thought that it is dead past.
The,past lives with all of US. 2nd
The mighty present The present as
valuable as all Sibylline leaves. Now l
am alive. Now l may do good to others.
Now may choose life. Now / may
make path to shine after me- 3rd.
The future. Tomorrow is too late.
Festus said to Paul, when have a
more convenient time, / will call for
thee. That time never came. Tomor-
row we die. Tomorrow is the Judgment
day. Tomorrow is heaven. Tomorrow
is doom. We can only admonish in love
every one who reads So live in this
world that when your summons comes
that you may embark for that fair
shore; where pleasures never cease and
where sorrows never come.

Sheriff Crees Released From Quarantine.

Sheriff Walk Crees was the happiest
man on earth Christmas morning. For
more than five weeks the family has
been quarantined for diphtheria and
Mr.. Crees was obliged to stay away
from the family. The attending
physician sent culture to Iowa City
Monday and Tuesday he received re-
port that it did not contain any more
diphtheria germs, so the little girl has
fully recovered, and the quarantine was
raised. 1t is safe to conclude that the
Crees family was one of the happiest in
Audubon on Christmas day. We have
an idea the Sheriff made pretty good
Santa Claus.
