Suicide Found Near Manning.

A young man by the name of Chris
Hansen, about 35 years of age, was
found in deserted barn seven miles
east.of Manning yesterdayIwith deep
gashes cut in his wrist. 1t is said by
physicians who examined the body that
he had been dead about two weeks. In
his clothing was found $216 in currency.
No marks of identification were found
on the body. The fact that so much
money was found ON his body makes
the mystery surrounding the death all
the more mysterious. Physicians claim
his death was slow and one of torture.
All indications point toward case of
suicide. The county coroner has taken
charge of the body and efforts made to
locate relatives revealed the fact that
his home was at Holstein, where his
mother died three weeks ago. The
town of Manning is greatly wrought
up over the mysterious find.

classmate, Verne Cozine, the senior
class of the Audubon High school plan
ned and carried out happy surprise
on him last Tuesday evening. They
secured rigs and drove to the Cozine
home northeast of town and took with
them the necessary refreshments for
the evening.
Upon arriving at the Cozine home
they caught Verne unawares, but it
did not take him long to regain his
selfcomposure, and in the twinkling of
an eye the merry party was soon en-
ioying itself to the limit. The hospi-
tality of Verne's home made all feel
welcome and the evening hours passed
so rapidly that it was late before the
Seniors returned to town. However,
the following morning all were wide
awake and in their usual places at the
school house. All join in wishing
Verne many more such happy and
jolly occasions as he was privileged to
enjoy Tuesday evening. ~

City Buys New Pumping Outfit.

The city council has been wrestling
with pump men the past few days for a
pump to supply the water from the
new deep well. A number of repre-
sentatives from various manufacturing
establishments met with the council in
special session Monday evening. Anoth-
er meeting was held Tuesday evening
at which time the council thought the
representatives were pooling, and that
august body rejected all bids. All day
yesterday individual representatives, were
consulted and the final outcome was
that lift pump was purchased from
the Fairbank. Morse people. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost of the pumping
apparatus and installation will be be

Reports from Des Moines this morn
ing are to the effect that among % ap-
pointments recommended for postmas-
tiers in Iowa the name of r. G. Spencer
is included i'll the list for the Audubon
postoffice. The appointments will be
sent to the senate for confirmation as
soon as congress meets in April and
there is no question but what Mr..
Spencer's appointment will be confirm
ed. The Republican extends congratu-
lations. Mr.. Spencer will make a good
postmaster and he will give the patrons
of the office the kind of service they
are justly entitled to. Steve Morrissey

no doubt made a good showing. We
have considered all along that it would

surrounding conditions.

in business many years. No man in
the county is better known than Mr..
Arnold. He is a business man from the
ground up. Mr.. Ross has been in the law
business in Audubon many years, and
has had more or less connection with
the old firm. Mr.. Rasmussen is a young
man who has been with Nash & Phelps
many years, and is known as a hustling,
and modest young man. The three
men will make a strong trio and we be-
speak for them the same liberal patron
age in the future that the old firm has
enjoyed in the past.
H. E. Kittell, former county treas
urer has accepted a position as alb
stractor with the new firm and will
enter upon his duties July first when
the new firm will be known as Arnold,

Case In Mayors Court Postponed.

A. C. Harmon, the furniture dealer,
was requested to appear before hishonor,
the mayor, Monday morning for OBJ
structing the public highway at a pub
lie sale held at his store building last
Saturday afternoon. The mayor put
off the hearing until Wednesday after
noon. When the time came for the
case to be heard the mayor asked for
another postponement of the case as he
was busy with other matters. Mr.
Harmon has employed Attorney J. III,
Ross to defend him in the matter, and
his attorney does not see that the town
has any right to interfere with Mr..
Harmon under the charge made against
him. The matter will be threshed out
in the mayors court sometime in the
near future. s

NASH G. PHELPS SELL OUT
One Of The Oldest Business Firms Of The
Town Will Soon Be Out Of The Running.

Some few months ago it was rumored
that the well known loan and abstract
ing firm of Nash & Phelps had sold out.
A close investigation failed to reveal
that there was any ground for the
rumor, but people were inclined to be-
leive there was some truth to it never
theless.
The first Of the week however, it was
made public that H. A. Arnold, j. H.
Ross and Karl Rasmussen had purchas-
ed the interests of Nash & Phelps and
would take possession of the business
July 1st.
The firm was established 80 years ago
in Extra and was known as J. A. Nash
and B. j. Phelps, who was an
uncle of the present member of the firm.
The firm moved to Audubon in 1879 and
has been in existence ever since. Some
years ago the firm was known as Nash,
Phelps & Holmes. Later it was Nash,
Phelps & Green, then Nash, Phelps &
Phelps and in recent years the firm has
been known as Nash & Phelps.
L. ID. Phelps will spend the winter in
Colorado where he has land interests,
and the summers he will spend at Lake
Champlain, Vermont where he has a
cottage. His father is still living and
resides about eight miles from his sum,
mer home. His three daughters, Misses
Ellowene. Edith and Clara will enter
Boston College.
| The future plans of Mr.. Nash cannot
be deinitly stated. His daughter is at
a sanitarium in California and he will
go to her bedside Saturday night. Il
she should recover, and her friends hops
she will, the Nash family might remain
in Colorado or remove to Detroit,
Mich, where Mr.. Nash has long had 8
desire 10 go.
AT any rate Audubon people will fee
lost for while without this old fami
liar firm, and their congenial company
will be greatly missed. Both have beer
closely identified with the growth and
development of Audubon town, anG
county. Long after they are gone theil
names will be recalled, and history viii
speak of them as men who did things.

HARLAN NAN WANTS OFFICE
His Appointment May Have Some Bearing
on Audubon Postoffice.

Three Iowa democratic representa-
tives in congress, Pepper, Connolly and
Kirkpatrick, accompanied by N. F.
Reed, democratic state chairman, pre-
sented to Postmaster General Burleson
the application of w. F. Cleveland, of
Harlan. to be fourth assistant postmas-
tor general.
Mr.. Cleveland good many years ago
defeated LATE Young for state senator
in the Cass-Shelby district, and twice
has been the democratic candidate for
congress in the ninth district. Last
year he was democratic candidate for
elector at large. The postmaster gen.
eral received the delegation gracefully.
He said President Wilson had ex-
pressed the desire that cabinet officers
in selecting their assistants should, as
far as possible, select them from states
other than their own. The president
desires that attention be given to the
residence of candidates and distribute
the offices to assistants with some
thought of the geography of the situa
ton. Mr.. Pepper, after the conference
said that on this ground Mr.. Cleveland
ought to stand a good chance of being
appointed.
The postmaster general said it was
his desire to work in close harmony
with the delegation, to the end that the
democratic party in Iowa might bt
built up. Mr.. Pepper was greatly
pleased with the visit as whole. He
declared the delegation and Mr.. Burle
son understood each other thoroughly
and would be found working together
in perfect accord.

Audubon v 3man Goes to Omaha.

One of the important features to the
Household Show, which will be held in
Omaha the early part of May, under
the auspices of the Omaha Woman's
club will be the Baby Health contest.
Mrs. Mary T. Watts of Audubon, Ia,
now president of the National Eugenices
association, has positively agreed with
Mrs. Charles w. Hayes, president of
the Womans club, and Mrs. F. j..
Birss, the chairman of the baby health
contest committee, to take the direction
and charge of the details of manage
ment of the greatest event of this kind
that has ever transpired in America.
These contests have become so popular
in the country that Mrs. Watts is re-
ceivingyletters constantly inquiring for
PAL ticdlars.
The Household Show is one of the
largest affairs which the Omaha Wo-
man club has ever undertaken, but
from the reports which are coming in
telling of the success with which the
several committees are meeting, it APP
pears to be foregone conclusion that
it will be brilliant success. The most
important movement made in the last
ten days in behalf of the show by Mrs.
Charles W. Hayes was the enlistment
for this great enterprise of the second
district of Nebraska Federation of Wo
mems clubs, in deciding to hold theil
annual second district meeting some
time during the Omaha Household
show, which is to be held at the Audi
torium from May to 1O.-Omaha Bee
