0ld-Time Revival Doomed.

Bishop Hughes and the Des Moines
conference members now at Boone have
not much faith in the old-fashioned re-
vival. The 5000 conversion plan of
doing business doesn't appeal to them
and it isn't likely that this conference
will have many more revivals of the
Billy" Sunday kind. Bishop Hughes
said that the minister who depended
for his accessions to the church on the
yearly revival would soon fail. The
bishop said that the time was at hand
for hand to hand campaign, man to
man affair, and to keep everlastingly at
it. The church must have more men
of this kind who will do personal work
and the bishop emphasized the need of
this personal work in the churches of
the Des Moines conference.
A wave of sentiment is being created
against this and the Des Moines confer
ence seems to be in the lead. The
slogan from now on will be more per-
sonal work, or Man to man"

James Law Returns From N. D.

James Law returned to Audubon
Sunday evening from two weeks visit
near Edmunds, N. D., where he owns
1910 acres of good soil. Mr.. Law in
forms us that $50 acres are under pillow
and this year he had 475 acres of wheat
and 375 acres of OATS The harvesting
season is now on in the Dakotas. Wheat
is making good yield. He had an 80
that averaged him 20 bushels. Oats is
running from 80 to 80 bushels per acre,
Potatoes will not be up to the average
this year yet the yield will go in the
neighborhood Of 100 bushels per acre.
The greatest difficulty in the Dakotas
and Minnesota this year is the shortage
of help. Crop conditions were never
better. Mr.. Law said they could use
thousand men in his neighborhood at
once. They are paying $500 day for
man and team. That is not such bad
pay for harvest hands.

Get Ready For Winter.

These cool mornings remind us that
winter will arrive soon enough and will
then have forgotten all about the extreme
heat of the summer. Soon you will
begin building just little fire to warm
things up a bit But do you know that
your chimney is all right2 Sure it was
all right last winter but we have had
many heavy rains this summer and fall.
Have they washed away the filling be-
tween the brick or possibly the brick?
Has anything interfered with the con-
nection OF your stove pipe and chimney9
Is your stove or furnace in good repair
with no cracks in it? Is your basement
free from all light rubbish and other
material that might easily catch fret
Is your back yard at your residence
and your place of business free from
such rubbish2 Now these are things
that you should investigate at once.
The little fire in the fall sometimes
causes big fire and great damage.
Gov. Carroll of Iowa has fixed Octo-
Der 8, as fire prevention day. On or
before that time, be sure that you have
looked these matters up and be sure
that everything is in good condition
before you start your fire this fall.
This will apply equally we'll to the
farmer. This is not an official notice
but arreminder. r. G. Spencer, Mayor.

Latter Day Saints.

We are holding series of gospel tent
meetings in your pleasant city and de-
sire to say through your paper that we
represent the Recognized church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
whose headquarters is at Lamont, Iowa
and Independence, Missouri. With
this church the Bible takes first place
on all points of doctrine, organization
and duties Of its members upon which
it treats.
This church has no connection what
ever with the Utah Mormon hierarchy
who have apostatized from the true
Latter Day Saint church The Joseph
F. Smith of Utah, who was the princi-
pal witness at Washington, in the
Smoot case, never was representative
of the Latter Day Saints. No church
on earth has done as much to expose the
corruption of Utah Mormonism as the
church we represent has done and is
still doing.
Written questions on church history
and doctrine will be gladly received
and answered from the pulpit. Come,
bring your Bibles. Yours for truth,
c. ]. Hunt,
B. L. McKim.

Roosevelt Admits Els Mistake.

If Col. Theodore Roosevelt had known
before he came to Iowa what he knew
after he reached the state as to the
local situation and the fact of the over
whelming progressive victory at the
June primary, there would have been
no bull moose state ticket partly nomi-
mated in Iowa. He frankly stated as
much just before leaving Des Moines.
He left the impression that he was not
very well pleased with the fact that he
and his national advisors had not been
fully informed of the situation here and
had proceeded upon theory which was
not born out when he reached Iowa.
He very much regretted that state
ticket had been placed in the field.
Not single republican newspaper of
any standing whatever in political
way, that supported the progressive
candidates before the primary last
spring, has obeyed orders and changed
front by now supporting the bull moose
candidates against those who were vic
torious in statewide primary. Every
one, without exception, is standing
squarely by the republican state plat
form, and giving support to the ticket
that they helped to nominate.

Well Test Proves Sufficient.

Last Saturday afternoon the city off,
Gals made another test of the new city
WELL Pipe was run down the well un-
til it was 100 feet under water. This
time the test proved so to IS gallons per
minute. The average daily consumtion
of water in Audubon is about 10000
gallons, and this test proved that the
supply of water would be adequate to
the present demands In order that the
supply would not be exhausted, the
city has ordered that the well drilling
be continued until the supply of water
will be almost unlimited.
This news will be very gratifying to
the tax payers. They have all along
feared that the water supply would not
be sufficient so that system of sewer
age could be installed, but with these
facts before us, there is no question but
what Audubon will have plenty of
water.

The Mission Meetings.

The Mission meetings held in the
Danish Lutheran church were we'll at
tended. Although the weather was
and the roads were bad there
were good many of the people from
Ebenezer who attended, some from
Bethania, some from Elk Horn, Extra
and good many from Hamlin. There
were even people who attended the
meetings from Scranton, and Cedar
Falls, Iowa. The people of Audubon
turned out pretty good. The ministers,
Rev. Gudmund Grill of Des Moines
Rev. H. l.. Jensen Of Bethania, Rev.
L. Jensen of Ruskin, Neb., and Rev. P.
Rasmussen of Marcus, Iowa, were heie
and they all delivered number of ex-

Saturday and all day Sunday. Friday
and Sunday noon the ladies served a
good luncheon in a large tent placed
east of the church. There were over
800 at the tables Sunday noon.

day, Friday and Saturday. Elsewhere

cius. The deal was made the latter
part of the week. Mr.. Olson will move
his stock of goods into the big building

J. A. Nash left for California last
night to visit his wife and daughter.
Mrs. Nash has been with her daughter
several months and from reports she
was greatly improving in health. Last
week Mr.. Nash received telegram to
come at once and when he was ready
to go he received another not to come
as Miss Gretchen was some better.
Since then her condition has changed
for the better and then for the worse so
Mrs. Nash concluded it would be better
for her husband to be with her for a
couple of weeks. We hope that Mr..
Nash will find his daughter improving
when he arrives.

SHORT LINE ASSURED
Best Prospect for Success Since 1t Was
Originated One Year Ago, Says
Treynor Record.

The prospect for success in the rails
i of FIVE million dollars for the pur-
chase of the A. N. s. S. and the extern
sion of the Treynor road to Des Moines
are now the best they have ever been,
and they are practically assured. So
say the promoters, and anyone with any
amount of logic in their noodle can
figure it out to suit themselves.
The time extension allowed last July
was up Wednesday of last week, but
the Short Line gang was on the Job'
with another twenty-five thousand
dollars and the court, in the face OF
prospective success allowed them sixty
days this time for the perfecting OF their
deal with the Brussels bankers.
Sixty. eight thousand dollars havenow
been paid on the deal and this entire
amount will be forfeited if the deal in
Brussels falls through but it Is not
going to fall through. 1t represents
over sixth Of the purchase price of the
Atlantic roa1, so the men who are
working in Europe must have some
assurance of final success or they would
not be willing to see this money put up
where there was chance to lose it and
their confidence in the ultimate success
of the venture is very reassuring to the
men who are working at this end OF
the line.
1t is now just year since Col. u
w. Adams electrified the state of Iowa
by announcing the purchase of the At
lantic road, and while the wise ones
smiled up their sleeve at what they
were pleased to call his nerve they are
now willing to admit that Adams stock
has gone up something like ten thousand
points and that there will be something
doing a little later on. AT various
times things have looked pretty black
for the promoters, and they were beaten
by outside influences when they tried
to raise the money in London, but the
fact that they kept right on the job and
did not lay down at their first defeat
has saved them and the sympathy of all
western Iowa is with them in their ef-
forts to make good -Treynor Record.
