earthly possessions.
When she came to America her family
moved to Shelby county anu later moved
to Audubon, where for 20 years or more
she has been a resident. Her husband

A drill and musical program was
given at the NJ. w. A. opera house last
Thursday evening under the auspices OF
the Forresters Team. The opening
number was by the band. Then follow
ed in quick succession o number of
musical numbers. The duett by Gladys

ciat9d. the two little ones acting their
part very nicely. The drill by the
Forresters was enthusiastically received
and the team was freely applauded by
the audience. "A number Of other at

gram, nevertheless was fully appreciated

THE KIDS LOSE OUT
The "0ld Gentlemen Show That They
Can Gone Back" Stronger Than
Jefferies Did and Win in the
. CITY Election

Audubon, like great many other
towns in the state of Iowa had town
election last Monday. Two tickets
were in the field, Citizens ticket head
ed by H. J Mantz for Mayor and q
Peoples ticket on which only candidates
for councilmen were nominated. The
first ticket was freely, but kindly re-
ferred to as the kid Ticket and the
Peoples ticket was known among the
younger men as the ''Grandpa's". As
is nearly always the case the Grandpa's
win, and this instance was no exception.
The question of sewerage for Audu-
bon entered the campaign at the outset,
but il later developed that all of the
candidates for councilmen were favor
able to sewerage, so that question was
practically eliminated. A big vote was
polled, perhaps the largest ever polled
at city election. The total number
was 429 of which the Citizens ticket
secured 142 straight votes and the Peo-
Piles ticket secured l21. The later
ticket received majority of the scratch
ed tickets. The vote was as follows:
VIM Roberts 800, F. C. Miller 226,
Chris. Henriksen 222, Frank Taylor 21S,
v. L. Culver 212, F. A. johnson 20e,
E. A. Bates 205. j. f. Kerwin 200, Geo.
Viewer 1893 and L. f. Tramp 100.
Sometime during Monday night Audu-
bon's practical jokers got busy and made
grave in the rubbish Of the park"
where they buried the town. 1t had a
tomb stone of marble. foot marker on
which was given the dates of birth and
list of the official pail bearers. A
grave coping of corn cobs furnished all
the trimmings. The joke has been en-
joyed by all, but it is time that the
mayor ordered a more decent burial
and all factions will again unite for the
betterment and advancement of Audu-
bon which is the ivliest corpse that
ever was placed on exhibition.

q county convention at the Woodmen
hall in this city. Delegations from
Brayton, Extra, Gray and Audubon

INDUCED in. The object of the con-
vention was to select delegate from
this county to the state convention to
he held soon at Cedar Rapids. The
Audubon county boys are insurgents
and are against the increase of rates as
proposed by the Chicago National con-
vention OF two years ago. Geo, Dye
was selected as delegate and w. HI.
Simcox alternate. The delegate was
instructed to favor the repeal of the
Chicago rates but to favor slight in
crease over the old rate if deemed nee.
essary. There is going to be something
doing in Woodmen circles this year
when the national convention 10 held,
and we would not be at all surprised il
an entire set Of new officials would he
elected at the big convention. The
