a good sized crowd, all lovers of the

quite evenly matched, Andersen won
the first fall in SO minutes, and the
second fall in eight minutes, both falls
being won by head lock. 1t was con-

MAYOR AND OLD
COUNCIL REELECTED
Two Tickets in the Field Brought Out
Large Vote--Nuch Interested is Mani.
festel By the Voters.

Monday was town election and the
two tickets in the field brought out the
largest vote tn Vt was ever recorded in
the history of the town of Audubon.
The newspapers and ministers of the
town urged tn people to come out in
full force, and when the battle of ballots
ended at the c,ose of busy day, no one
had occasion TO be disappointed for lack
of enthusiasm or interest manifested in
behalf of the candidates on the tickets
in the field.
The total number of votes cast were
423, which is twenty votes more than
were cast two years ago. The day was
an ideal one and every voter seemed
pleased to exercise his prerogative.
The Citizens ticket was headed by r.
C. Spencer for Mayor and the Indepen
dent ticket was headed by ]. E. Nc.
CURE for Mayor, the former ticket
winning by a majority of go. Follow
ing is the list of candidates and the
number of votes received:

Viewer @. 1886
The council likewise received good
majority which is evident that their
work of the past two years meets with
the hearty approval of the majority of
the citizens of the town. Mr.. Johnson,
who was candidate for second term
as town treasurer received a handsome
vote giving him the largest majority of
any man on the ticket. Mr.. A. L
Viewer, for assessor, had no opposition.
Here is hoping that the mayor and city
council will do great things for Audubon
within the next two years, and that
they will strike an abundant supply
of water in the new well they are dig
ging for the town at cost of $40 900
or approximately SO.

Source Of the Brahmaputra.

For 40 years the birthplace OF the
great Brahmaputra river OF India was
thought to be among the high valleys
of the eastern Himalayas or on the
Plateau of Tibet north of those noun
tains. The theory could not be
proved, for hostile Abors In the Hima-
layan valleys killed the explorers or
barred their way when they sought to
solve the mystery.
1t was believed 20 years ago that
the Sangpo river, flowing far eastward
through southern Tibet, was the upper
part of the Brahmaputra. Marked
logs set afioat in the Sangpop were
watched for in the Brahmaputra, but
were never found. At last, however,
the explorers sent out with the troops
who have punished the Abhors for
their massacre OF Williamson and his
200 carriers have shown that the two
rivers are identical The Brahmapu
ira rises far west near the headwa
tiers OF the Indus, among the noun
tains bordering southern Tibet.
