lea when she was three years old.
She was married to William Lewis

Wisconsin. They lived in Waukesha
county until 1868, when they moved
to Iowa county, Wisconsin, and lived
there until 1878. whom they moved

with toe Methodist church. She ives
faithful to the vows of the church
cheerful in doing the work of the
church, and too much cannot be said
of her devotion to everything that

from the Psalms, and directed her
habits, her conversation and her
duties as lit was written"
Her neighbors and the church are
living witnesses of the blessed fact
that she died as she had lived, pat
lent, thoughtful and loving to the
last.
Her heart was a mothers heart.
She gave to her children the best
she could command. The loving
sacrifice which mother. gives. when
new life is born, followed by days of
patient toll, and care and love, and
patient instruction, won from the
children the fullest devotion, and
knowledge that Mother is the best
friend, and she died in the full know
ledge that they appreciated some of
these things that had been done for
them.
The angels have paused long
enough to write upon the hearts who
knew her this one sentence. Anna
Evans Lewis life has been a success. :"

AUDUBON COUNTY WILL HELP

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Commercial Club Monday eve
ming the matter of securing a car
load of shelled corn to be shipped to
Belgian to relieve the sufferers, was
fully discussed and committee COM
posed of E. S. VanGorder, e. F.
Johnson, p. A. Rasmussen, II. G. Rice
and l.. j. Andersen was appointed to
communicate with other Clubs In the
county and to appoint committee
in each township to carry ON and
complete the work.
The state of Iowa has pledged a
cargo of corn and Geov. Clarke has
appointed a relief commission who
will undertake to see that the full
amount is secured. At least car
mount is secured. At least a car
load of corn will be donated by each
county of the state. The railroads
have agreed to transport the grain
to New York free of charge.
There is untold suffering in Bel
gain and Iowa people will come to
the aid of the sufferers with liber-
al donation. Audubon county is
prosperous and this county will do
her full share. Many are of the opin-
ion that Audubon county will furnish
two car loads.
This is certainly a worthy under
taking and everyone who possibly
can should make it point to donate
as literally as possible.
The U. s. has been assured by the
warning nations that all food ship
ments will reach its proper destina-
ton without being molested and with
this assurance there should be no
hesitancy on the part ofour people
in making a donation that will help
a down trodden nation and a people
worthy of help in time of distress.

FORD CAR DESTROYED

Chas. Jurgens and his daughter,
Miss Ella, while driving to their
home about Line miles northwest of
town Monday evening at s o'clock,
luckily escaped serious injury when
he ran his car into a steel culvert
laying in the road just at the Aud
ubon- Bradleyville line. The city was
putting a culvert across the road at
that point and had one-half of it
in. The other half was in the road
with red light exposed as danger
signal. Mr.. Jurgens mistook the sig
nal for light on a buggy and turned
to the right and into the culvert.
The machine being so light the con-
cussion overturned the car, throwing
it into the ditch. Mr.. Jurgens jumped
from the car, escaping injury. Miss
Ella was thrown into the ditch and
fell directly under the car, but in
such manner that she was able to
crawl out and also escape injury.
The car turned completely over, TAX
ing fire and was almost wholly de-
stroyed.

CLUB WOMEN HOLD PRIMARY

The November regular meeting of
the Wonman's Club held at Watts
Hall Wednesday, afternoon was we'll
attended and proved to be a most
interesting afternoon.
Mrs. Laura Delahoyde, city librar-
ian was leader and handled the topic
of town government in a most able
manner. Civil government is usual
ly dry subject, but the plan used
OF holding a regular town primary
made the lesson very attractive.
Mrs. Chas.l Sunberg. Mrs. John
Graham and Mrs. c., ID. Booton acted
as judges Of election while Mrs. Ben
CASTOR and Mrs. Will Elery clerked
the election. An effort was made to
follow the methods employed in the
regular town election.
The early afternoon was used in
a discussion of town government and
the duties OF the city fathers-A
limited amount of time made 1t quite
impossible to cover fully the health
topic calendared for the afternoon,
much to the regret of the leader.
The next regular meeting will be
the second Wednesday in December.
Mrs. Chas. Layland is leader. The
subject of township government and
a county primary will be held with
the names of club women as candi-
dates for the several township and
county offices. We understand that
petitions are being circulated already
for the Offices of constable and sher-
.iff and the rivalry for Office promises
to make the next meeting quite ex-
citing.
Mrs. Will Beason and Mrs. Alex
Caldwell are chairmen of the next
social meeting which we hear is to
be very nice afternoon party.

We MODERN MAID
Poem Written by Hon. Geo. ID. Alden,
Poet, Orator, Logican, Soon
to Lecture Here

The following poem recently writ
ten by Hon. Geo. ID. Alden, soon to
appear here, is used by him in his
lecture, 1.-THE Powder and the Match"
Mr.. Alden was a relative of the late
Henry w. Longfellow, and those who
read these lines will agree that the
natural poetic gift possessed by the
author of "Evangeline" is gift with
which Mr. Alden is also abundantly
blessed.

date girls,
With skirts a la mode and peroxided
curls,
and where are you going, my pretty
maid?"
ITO the moving pictures, Sir" she
said.
why aren't you home as your good
mother wishes,
Darning or cooking or washing the
dishes:
Practicing music or sweeping the
house,
Preparing yourself for helpful
And she looked me all over with a
humorous twinkle,
And said: beg your pardon, but are
you Rip Van Wrinkle?
You must have been having twenty
years snooZe
To hold such provincial, puritanial
views;
For we modern maids are not secretly
To serve life's sentence in anyone's
kitchen;
Besides, recent inventions have so
lightened the load
That the old thorny way now's a
primrosy road.
Do you think I'd wash dishes? Why,
haven't you seen
That these are now cleaned with
patent machine?
And as to the sweeping, 4 am more
than surprised,
For brooms have been banished!
We're vacuumized.
And darning the stockings, Say, you
are way behind,
For we wear nothing now but the
hole proof kind.

For we now tread it out with our feet
by the yard.
So you see, my dear sir, you're de-
cidedly slow"i
And off she high-heeled to the vaude-
vile show.

Now I'll add my reflections to this
brief interview,
That the old fashioned girl puts it

cape is both interesting and amusing

GAVE THEM A FAREWELL

Tuesday evening there was a spec
ial meeting of the Knight Templers
at the Masonic hall. 1t was meeting
called in honor of E. j. Freeman and
his estimable wife, who are soon to
leave for California. Mr.. Freeman has
been a member of the organization
many years and took an active part in
the lodge work. The lodge regrets
he is going to leave and as a token
of the esteem in which he Is held by
the members, a gold watch and chain
was given him, the presentation be-
ing made by Mel Graham. Mrs.
Freeman was also remembered with
cut glass set.
Under ordinary circumstances Mr..
Freeman is able to make a nice talk,
but this surprise was too much for
him, his every action, however, spoke
louder than words.
The evening was spent in social
way and refreshments were served.
II was a most delightful occasion es-
pecially for the older members who
have known Mr.. Freeman ever since
they came to Audubon.
Mr.. Freeman located in Audubon
in 1857 and has lived here ever
since. 1t is no wonder then that he is
frequently referred to as the father
of Audubon. 1t was Mr.. Freeman
who sold the lots to the new corners
in 1878.
Audubon folks regret to have them
leave. But they are getting along in
years and both feel as though they
ought to live in climate that is not
20 changeable as Iowa's and so they
are going to live near their daughter
in California where they will have
plenty of sunshine and flowers. They
will probably leave next week, and
when they go, they will take with
them the best wishes of every man
woman and child.

SUFFERS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Wednesday of last week Tim Nc
Call, living few miles southwest of
town was working about the place,
and while passing a pump his coat
caught on the pump handle, throw
ing him backward and in such man
ner that his arm struck the rusty key
of the handle, causing quite a bad
cut to his arm. BY Sunday blood
poison had developed, giving him in
tense pain and he was compelled to
have the attention of physician. He
suffered a great deal for few days,
but is now getting along nicely and it
is hoped by his numerous friends that
nothing more serious will develop.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE

Saturday noon of last week Mrs.
G. E. Long was the victim of very
enjoyable surprise, perpetrated upon
her by seven of her loyal lady friends
headed by Mrs. Jesse A. Humiston.
The other ladies present were: Mrs.
A. M. Currier and the Misses Eta
Kennels, Elizabeth Davis, Minnie
Burr, Ellowene Phelps and Miss An
ma Olson.
The ladies brought with them to
Mrs. Longs Emporium, well pre-
pared luncheon in bags and baskets,
from which an excellent repast was
partaken of and the noon hour was
most enjoyably spent by the little
coteri. Another thing Mrs. Long
was real thankful for, was, that she
did not have to climb up and down
the long stairway for her regular
restaurant dinner, preferring the
good old home made cooking and
baking to the best that was ever
prepared in a restaurant.

RECEIVES SERIOUS INJURY

James Murphy, formerly of Aud
ubon, but now a resident of Carroll
met with very serious accident at
his home last Sunday. 1t seems that
he was taking team of horses to
the pasture and had both halter ropes
tied together. Upon reaching the
pasture he released one of the hor-
SEES and was in the act of taking the
halter from the other horse when il
started to run away. In some un-
known manner his foot became en-
tangled in the loose halter and he
was thrown to the ground and
dragged a short distance Mr.. Muir
ply received a dislocated shoulder
and severe cash was cut ON the
right side of his head at the base of
the brain, which the attending ply
sician pronounced quite serious. Mr..
Murphy's friends in Audubon and
elsewhere will regret to learn of the
accident and hope that his injuries
are not as bad as reported.

WELL OUT OF COMMISSION

Audubon's famous deep well is a.
gain out of commission. A special
meeting of the city council was called
last night to take steps seeking re-
lief of some kind from the repeated
annoyances. 1t was finally agreed
that Mayor Mantz should go to Ames
to consult the engineer who furnished
report on the well some months
ago and to learn from him II there
was not some manner in which a
pump could be installed that would
do the work. The breaking of the
pump has caused the town an endless
amount of worry and expense.

Poland Chind's in the South.

Mr.. G. S. Craig of Missouri
spent several days in this { Nox
ubee) county and was most ia
vorably impressed with what h,
saw while here. The following
is an interview he gave to {
livestock journal on his return
home:
If the south needs a press agent
it may find a very enthusiastic
one in G. S. Craig of Independ
ence, Mo-, who has just return
ed from a visit to Mississippi
Mr.. Craig has been handling Pc.

dependence for the past Is years
and he gives it as his opinion
that the south will in a short
time lie the best hog country in
the land. "They have everything
down there that we have up north
except the cold and the snow"
is the way he put it, and he is
very enthusiastic over the fut-
ure for the hog business in that
country.
Il have never seen such splen-
did fields of alfalfa anywhere in
the north as | saw on my trip
through Mississippi" said Mr..
Craig. They have a big advan-
tage over us in the way of climate
and in that land will grow any
thing. The corn show at Jack
son was a revelation to me. The
southern farmers are realizing
stronger every day the necessity
of diversifying their crops, and
converts to the cause of a more
varied system of agriculture are
being made daily. They realize
that hogs and cattle will be their
salvation, and that section of the
country should be a rich field for
the northern breeders to cult
vate. Especially should the Pol
and c ina breeders of the corn
belt take advantage Of every op-
portunity to boost the breed in
the south. saw any number of
Polands in Mississippi that would
rank well up with the best we
are producing here. The men
who are maintaining herds there
bought their foundation stock
from the best breeders of Iowa,
Missouri, Illinois and Kansas,
and they are keeping up the
quality"

Paid by the Woman's Guild ofthe Church
of the Nativity With Reference to the
Death of Mrs. Julia L. Lutte.

Just on the eve of the conservation
of the Church of the Nativity, for
which consummatlon she had faithfully
labored and to which she had looked
forward with ardent anticipation, a de-
voted member of our Parish Guild, Mrs.
Julia L. Lutz, in a distant city, closed
her eyes in the sleep that knows no
earthly waking and was called to the
rest of Paradise, and
So, there was a commingling of sun
shine and shadow, of joy and pain, on
that sacred occasion when the House
of the Lord was formally set apart to
His worship, for we missed a dear and
familiar presence.
AT a recent meeting of our organiza-
ton the following preamble and reso-
luton were adopted, viz:
Whereas our all-wise Heavenly
Father has removed from our midst a
devoted worker, who had endeared her
self not only to us but to many others
of her adopted home, and,
Whereas, it is our desire to attest
u appreciation of her labor as we'll as
our affectionate regard and the same
of personal loss that is ours.
Therefore, be it resolved: That in
the death of Mrs. Julia l.. Lutz, the
Woman's Guild, of the Church of the
Nativity, has sustained the loss of a
glorious and efficient member, and that,
individually, we are the poorer for the
absence of a sweet and lovable friend.
Be it also resolved: That to the be-
reaved husband and to the others who
are nearest and dearest, we extend our
sympathy, praying that the Man of
Sorrows, who was acquainted with
grief, may grant them His sustaining
comfort and abiding peace.
Resolved further: That a copy of
these proceeding be furnished the Ma
con BEACON and Hagerstown IND J
papers for publication.

Japanese Secretly Buyt7e Cotton

Muskogee, Okla, Nov. 30
The japanese ale rapidly becon
ing a factor in the cotton market
OF the south. The Japs are among
the heaviest buyers from Musko.
gee, which is a compress point for
a large section of Oklahoma. One
japanese firm placed an order with
cotton brokers in Muskogee for 3.
200 bales of cotton. and other or,
ders were placed at other points
by the same firm for more cotton.
Nearly every cotton market OF
note reports Japanese buyers.
A feature of this new demand
for cotton appears to be the eau.
ton of the Japs not to create the
impression that they are factor in
the market, and to accomplish
this they spread their orders. One
firm has been known to place an
order for 1000 bales in a day. but
the order was split so that the
purchase was made in ten differ.
ent towns.
