found about six o'clock, and was in an
unconscious condition. He remained in
this state for several hours and died
about eleven o'clock that evening.
DIR. Koob of Brayton reached him

powerless to do anything for his relief.

Obituary Of H. ]. Schmidt.

Hans j. Schmidt, was born in New
ctrup North Slesvig, Denmark Noy. a.,
1883, departed this life at his late home
April LIST, 1918 near Audubon, Iowa,
aged 81 years 4 mo- and II days. In
the year 1881 he was united in mar
riage to Meta Kallesan, and to this
union was born five children, four of
whom live with their mother to mourn
his death, Jorgen F. of Audubon,
Fodder J. Audubon, Mrs. Chris Hansen
Lorah, and Tilda who resides at home.
I've proceeded his father TO the better
home. Mr.. Schmidt's last illness was
of short duration and all that medical
skill and loving hands could do was
done. Not once was he heard to muir
muir or complain. He was a kind,
loving husband and devoted parent.
In early life he gave his heart to
God and has always stood ready to help
those in need. As the end approached
he babe them good bye. but with hopes
to soon be reunited. We do not mourn
as those who have no hopes as our loss
is his gain.
As friend and neighbor Mr..
Schmidt was loved by all and his
many acts of kindness will always live
among those who knew him best. His
was life we'll lived and as the years
come it will only add to our love for
one only gone before. Though our
skies seem dark, beyond we see his
welcome for us and can say Not our
will but thine be done" He is not
dead but only resting safe in the arms
of his Lord.
Besides his wife and children, he
leaves one grand child, two brothers
and two sisters in Denmark to mourn,
besides hosts of other relatives and
friends.

Grandma Conant at Rest.

in the state of Indiana April 8, 1880 and
departed this life in peace on April g.
1918 at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
A. f. Drake, where she has made her
home for several years. The deceased
was SO years and one day old at the
time of her death. A strange coincident
is that she died so near her birthday
and her husband who died several years
ago, also died on his birthday.

rage with Jesse ID. Conant, and to this
union seven children were born, four of
whom survive as follows: Mrs. Mary j.
Drake. of Audubon; Mrs. Harriet e.
Handley, of Des Moines; Chas. J. Conant,
of Manassas, West Va. and Thomas @.
Conant. of Davenport. Three children
with her husband preceded her to the
spirit world some years ago.
When but five years of age she came
with her parents to Hanover, H., thence
to Bellview, Iowa. In 1882 she came
to Audubon where she spent most of
her years. Nearly so years ago she
gave her life to Christ and has lived a
devoted christian life ever since. She
was one of Gods precious jewels of this
earth. In all of her suffering she prov
ed to all how patient one could be,
whose trust was in the Saviour.
She was a kind mother, an excellent
neighbor and loved to minister to all
who needed her help. She rests secure
in that house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens. Four children,
two brothers, two sisters, living in
Illinois, fifteen grandchildren, and five
great grandchildren together with a
host Of friends mourn the departure of
one who lived to make the world better.
Funeral services were held at the M.
E. church Tuesday afternoon at two
O'Clock, conducted by Rev. j. H.
Freedline. A mixed QUARTET sang
several beautiful selections. Interment
was made beside her husband in Maple

The Audubon Commercial Club.

The Audubon Commercial Club now
has close TO one hundred members, and
is expecting at least that many more, /
have been informed by the committee
which was appointed at the last meeting
to solicit for new members, that they
have no trouble in getting members, but
have been encouraged by every one they
have seen so far. With few exceptions,
they all agree that we need a CONNER
cial Club; and of course we do. We
now have Club organized and have a
good membership. The next thing we
ought to do is to attend the meetings
regularly. Make it business PROPOSE
ton to attend the Audubon Commercial
Club meetings the second Monday of
each month. The committee soliciting
for members also told me that good
many left the impression with them
that as soon as they became members
of the Club they had done their duty,
and expected the officers of the Club to
do the rest. / cannot agree with them
in that respect. Then, in my opinion
the work just commences for every
member, and if we expect this Club to
be a success for our Town and County
we must lay aside all jealousy, all pull
together and all boost for Audubon.
We have beautiful little Town, with
plenty of fine homes. We have excel
lent public schools, Carnegie Library,
two good banks, a brick & tile factory,
canning factory, an artesian well with
plenty of water and electric light. We
are surrounded by one of the richest
farming districts in the world Most
of us expect to stay in Audubon and
why should we not all be in favor of
making Audubon one of the most up-to-
date Towns of South Western Iowa.
Lets not stand in our own light, we
want every convenience that we can
get. We all know that Audubon needs
sewerage; paved streets, Hospital, City
Hall, new Court House, better Rail
road facilities, etc. do not mean to
say that the Audubon Commercial Club
claims that they are going to secure all
of these good things for Audubon in the
next few months; / am simply referring
to them, that each mamber of the Club
may see that there is plenty for each
and every one of us to take hold of, and
think that il the Commercial Club and
our progressive City Council could work
together along this line, that there
could be so much more accomplished.
Again say that we want to make Au-
dubon one of the most attractive up-to-
date Towns in South Western Iowa.
We want all the trade that we are en-.
titled to. We want tomake the outside
public know that Audubon is still on
the map. still in the lead. The best
way that know of, for every one to
express their wants and desires and to
discuss them Is to join the Audubon
Commercial Club and then for every
member to attend the meetings. make
your suggestions, bring in your new
ideas we all have some, and l believe
we can accomplish something.
Be Booster, do not be knocker.
At last we will all unite in one grand
sentiment Boost For Audubon.
