through his efforts that taxes were

roads In the county.
Mr.. Briggs followed the golden rule
in his business life as well as his pri-
vate life. He handled q considera BILE
amount of fine stock and men who
dealt with him always said. whatever
Mr. Briggs tells you is right"

GAVE EXCELLENT PLAYS

Monday and Tuesday nights of
this week the Crockett & Poore
Stock Co., showed under canvas on
the vacant lot on Lower Broadway.
The play, SIS Marriage a Failure?"
given on Monday night proved to be
very good one, and the tent was
packed with people to witness the
play. The white Slavery act that
was put on Tuesday night, in which
a moral is portrayed was a very
creditable entertainment, and all who
saw these two plays, voice the same
sentiment, that they were the best
dramatic plays ever put on under
canvas in the city of Audubon. The
company carry their own band and
orchestra, and the music they furnish
is excellent, and they are not in any
way stinted with the music, giving
MONDAY concerts on the streets and
concerts each evening before the tent.
The character and entertainment of
the company was good and the large
crowds present at both shows was
indeed merited by the company.
Should the company return to Audi
bon, ii will be assured large crowds.
The company left Wednesday NOR
ming for Gray where they show last
night and tonight and will show at
Aspenwall Friday and Saturday
nights.

GEO. COsSON CARRIES
AUDUBON COUNTY

The State wide primary last Mon
day was the liveliest primary that has
been held in the state of Iowa since
the new law went into effect. The
strenuous fight on the governorship
and the womans suffrage question
was without doubt the cause for the
big vote. Here in Audubon county
the vote at Mondays primary was
larger than at the general election
two years ago. More than 400 re-
publicans participated in the primary
and 654 democrats. There were sew
eral contests in both parties for the
county Offices.
Geo. w. Cosson, one of the candi-
dates for the nomination of governor
carried his home county by 81. How
ever, w. l.. Harding, of Sioux City
was nominated by an overwhelming
majority, receiving more votes than
both Cosson and Allen. There was
much disappointment in Audubon ov-
er Cosson's defeat. Henry Sampson,
another Audubon county boy and a
for the nomination of at
torney general, carried this county
by good majority, but in the state
he landed in fourth place. There
were six candidates for the nomina-
ton and none of them having re-
ceived the necessary 35 percent, the
nomination will go to the state con-
vention.
The womans suffrage amendment
has been defeated in the state by the
small majority of 4263 votes. Here
in Audubon county it was defeated
by 4S5 votes. Elsewhere in todays
issue we publish a tabulated state
ment of the results by townships.

CEMETERIES MOST BEAUTIFUL

Residents OF the city who have
been making visits to the local ceme-
teries lately, find that the usual beau
ty of the places has not been neglect
ed this spring. They report that this
decoration season the cemeteries are
extraordinarily beautiful The grass
has been clipped and removed from
the lots and the placing of vases and
care of flower beds has been given
careful attention. These efforts on
the part of the caretakers and owners
of lots are not all, as the people do
not cease in the work of improveing
the roads, driveways and other per-
manent features of the cemeteries.
A number IF noticeable improvements
have been noted this spring and more
and more the people are adding to
the excellent condition of the burial
grounds,
