Mike Foley in a Railroad Wreck

NJ. I. Foley who recently returned
from trip TO Canada had his first ex.
perience in railroad wreck, and the
scenes occasioned by the terrible catas-
trophy have made an indelible impress
sion on his mind that only time can
erase. He was travelling on one of the
main lines entering Minneapolis
through train composed OF fourteen
coaches. As the train was passing
through a small station the tender OF
the engine left the track. The engineer
applied the brakes and saved his life by
jumping from his cab just as the engine
was tumbling over The fireman was
caught between the engine and tender
and literally scalded to death. Four OF
the coaches left the track, and were it not
for tie fact that they were built of steel
Mr. Foley believes the loss of life would
have been appalling, $50 passengers
were on board. None of them
were injured though many were
badly frightened. ; The coach he was in
did not leave the track. The coaches
that left the track barely missed the
small railway station filed with people
who were waiting for a local train. Mr.
Foley is not anxious to pass through a
similar experience though he hardly
knew his train was in a wreck until
they saw the big mogul engine buried
half way in the ground and the steel
coaches stripped of their wheels and
piled up like cord wood. -H.

Remarkable Corn Sale

The ROlfe Arrow says: "A corn sale
last week that caused the old timers to
sit up and take notice was when E. G.
Hubbell sold his crop of corn in the
field to M. T. Blessing at so cents per
bushel on basis of eighty bushels to
the acre. Think of it, men, $40 per
acre for corn in the field, and in demo
cratic times. We understand some
husking had been done to arrive at the
yield, and eighty bushels seemed to be
satisfactory to both sides. Mr.. Hnbbell
moved his family to Menahga, Mime
sofa, short time ago, where he owns q
farm, and had returned TO the commun-
ity to batch it, until he got his corn
crop out, but by making this great
sacrifice sale he will be enabled TO join
his family at once with $40 per acre
corn crop in his pocket to invest in
Minnesota land. Yes, and this is said
to be poor corn year, too"

Will Show Iowa Deer at The Picture Show

HI. w. Wilson who spent several
days at Avoca last week, returned home
recently and brought back with him a
reel showing some 500 deer that are
running wild near Avoca. A moving
picture firm secured this film sometime
ago and when Mr.. Wilson was in Avoca
this same reel was run at the local
moving picture show for his especial
benefit. He was so taken up with the
beauty of the picture that he asked if
he could not secure the pictures to be
shown in Audubon. The reel was sent
here and tomorrow evening it will be
shown at the Gem Theatre. A large
number of Audubon people are expect
ing to see this picture at that time,

fully repaid 1t was nice and com.
Portable inside and the splendid supper
served by the ladies made everyone
forget about the wind and weather on
the outside. TWAS one of those social
times that are always appreciated.

What Other Towns Are Doing

Since Audubon has been contemplat-
ing the installation of electroliers as
the system for street lighting, it is in
teresting to note what neighboring
towns are doing in the same regard.
Walnut is town of $50 inhabitants
and the following article appeared in
the Bureau of last weeks issue:
he electroliers are all in and the
majority OF them on the west side of
central street are connected and have
been in usefor several nights. 1t is plan
ned to have them all connected and in
working order within thenexttwo weeks.
Walnut has more rods of electroliers
considering its population than any
other town in the state. We have a
half mile of electroliers and six thrown
in for good measure"

VIII Serve Supper Tonight

The Ladies Aid Society of the M. E.
church will serve a chicken supper in
the basement of the church tonight.
Supper will be served at $50 and con
tinued until all are served. The ladies
of the church have but recently had the
interior of the church refinished} and
new carpets have been put in the isles
and in the choir loft. This has made
quite an expense and the obligation has
been assumed by the society 1t is
therefore not necessary to say that all
are cordially invited to attend the sup,
per and in that way assist the ladies in
this worthy undertaking.

Five People Poisoned at Atlantic

B. X. WATSON, his wife and three
children were poisoned last Saturday
when the entire family ate oatmeal for
breakfast. The oatmeal used had been
mixed with rough rats and the good
housewife forgetting that the meal had
been fixed to poison rats, used it for
the family meal. Shortly after all had
partaken of the oatmeal they became
deathly sick and it then occurred to
Mrs. Wasson what a terrible mistake
she had made Several physicians and
nurses have been constant attendants
at the bedside of the family and today
hopes are entertained that they will re-
cover. Mr.. WATSON has been in a
critical condition for several days and
is having a serious time.

Yankee Robinson Has
Largest Elephant Known

The scenes attending the arrival of
the largest elephant ever known,
"kongO,' were most remarkable.
From the time the people OF this coun.
try, some twelve months ago, read OF
the capture Of Kongo, there has been
a curiosity to see this huge beast. At
the roundup" Of elephants, in Siam,
last spring, there were twenty.three
elephants captured--this being the
entire haul for the season. Among the
few held last season, was the real
monarch Of the Jungle-an elephant
that has been the goal of every hunter
to the forest for years. This big beast
was kongo. Immediately the concess.

tion cabled to secure this big beast

hibit they will have there during the
fair The promoters of the Yankee
Robinson shows happened to have Mr..

sentative in Siam, at the time of thi,
offer. without any comforting with
the owners of the big circus, he secur
