AUDUBON CHURCH NOTES The Methodist Church The absence of Mr. Roberts, who was detained at home by illness last Sunday, made the Sunday school seem like a flock of without a shepherd. But the place was ably filled by Miss Harriett Bllhars, the assistant superintendent. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the M. E. church will be held at the home of Mrs. Leach on Tuesday, May 11, at 2:30. Topic: “Burma, the country of Pagodas.” Chapter 11. “What is Buddhism?” "Yesterday and today in Burma.” Leader—Mrs. Leach. Refreshments will be served. All ladies cordially invited to attend. Rev. Daniel B. Prather arrived Saturday morning to begin his work as assistant pastor to the Rev. Mr. Vedder. His wife and three children remained at Evanston, Ill., but will come the first of June when they will occupy the residence of Wm. A. Johnson on Church street. Mr. Prather was greeted by a large congregation both morning and evening. At the close of the morning service at the suggestion of Mr. Vedder, the congregation went forward to greet and shake hands with the new minister. Though a little embarrassed at first because of the new place and new people and the presence of the pastor whose place and duties he was assuming, he soon recovered his equanimity and before he was half through had won the hearts, the sympathy and cooperation of the membership. Without note or manuscript, he preached an excellent sermon about putting on the whole armour of God. He is a modest gentleman, of pleasing manner, capable and industrious and will gradually work and win his way to the front rank in the ministry. The Presbyterian Church. Choir practice, as usual, occurs tonight at 8 o’clock. The Ladies Aid society meets today with Mrs. Sylvester A. The Sunday School is soon to begin elaborate preparations for Children’s Day. Announcements of the cantata will be made later. The size and enthusiasm of the audience last night at the Skovgasrd concert was plain evidence of the high class of the entertainment. The members of the company are certainly all artists. Both from a standpoint of pleasure and one of finance. The Men's Bible Club are repaid for their efforts to make the concert a success. The Juniors were led by Clara Preston and Katharine Culver, about 40 taking part in the program. Rosie Weigbton, Leota Leib, Myrtle Lang, and Hazel Titter, Logon sang one special number while Dorothy Musson gave a very pleasing piano solo. The mothers and grandmothers of all the Juniors are to receive special invitations to next Sabbath's meeting in honor of Mothers’ Day. Next Sabbath will be a special day set apart in Honor of "Our Mothers." The object is to brighten the lives of our Mothers and to make them more honored, loved, and protected by their children. Also to remind our sons and daughters of the unselfish devotion of their Mothers and possibly of their own selfish neglect of their parents. The day will be characterized by the doing of some kind act to show love and appreciation, also by the wearing of a white carnation as a badge of love and loyalty. The church, the Men’s Bible Club, and the Junior Christian Endeavor are providing a bountiful supply of flowers. Last Sabbath, Rev. J. C. Miller, father of the pastor and pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Osborne, Kan., preached both morning and evening. His sermons were distinctly gospel sermons and full of eloquence and logic with a grain of humor throughout which showed the speaker not to be a "long-faced" Christian. His morning topic, "The Believers Trust," was treated in the three divisions, the reason, the will, and the affections. The evening discourse upon "The Beveler's Power" was in itself a power for Christian influence and experience. His arguments were clear and unanswerable. Rev. Miller very happily introduced his father as "one of the boys of his childhood" and his sermons certainly proved him young in heart though a veteran in Christian experience. Prof. Graham Here Prof. Graham, one of the general managers of the Redpath Chautauqua System, was in town a few hours yesterday morning and met a number of our people. Prof. Graham is the gentleman who made many friends here when he established the Chautauqua two years ago and it is hoped that he may come here to act as superintendent this year. As stated elsewhere, they have 105 Chautauquas this year and if possible will give still better programs than heretofore. The session will continue for seven days of lectures and musical entertainments just as good as they get anywhere. Next week we shall be able to indicate in a measure what the program will be and the names of some of those who will be a part of it. About a month before the Chautauqua opens they will send a man here to spend several weeks in selling tickets and working up increased interest. Woodmen Memorial At the regular meeting of the Woodmen on Tuesday evening it was decided to have a memorial service in the afternoon of the first Sunday in June. A. F. Drake, Chas. Poulson and Theo. Mantz were appointed as a committee on general arrangements; D. D. Drake and C. W. Marlin as a committee on music; the Royal Neighbors as a committee on decoration. The Woodmen are anxious to have the public understand that they are not only welcome but cordially invited to attend this service. A full program will be given to a future issue. —Apple, cherry, and plum trees (not dried out) but fresh dug just as train starts are shipped at half agents' price. Phone or write direct to W. M.

Roberts was taken quite seriously ill last week with inflammation of the bowels and is still confined to his bed. It seems entirely out of order to find Mr. Roberts kept at home by personal illness. We were pleased to hear yesterday that the fever had subsided and he was better. —The Atlantic News says that I. N. Brown has received a letter telling of the death at Fairfield, Washington, on the 22nd of April of Edwin Engleking, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Engleking, who moved out there last fall. His death was caused by scarlet fever. The deceased was a nephew of Mr. Brown who used to live down in Greeley township. Mrs. Bertha A. Lamoreaux, who is filling the place in the Audubon schools vacated by Mildred Smith, resigned, was last week elected to a position in the first grade in the Central building at Atlantic. She was chosen by the board here to continue in her present position next year, and also offered a place in the schools at Grand Junction. Mrs. Lamoreaux is surely very fortunate in securing good positions. H. B. Wilson of Audubon, an old friend of the editors of this paper, was a pleasant caller at this office on Tuesday. He and Mrs. Wilson are visiting at the home of her brother, George B. Faas of Hilton township. They will go over to North English and Millersburg in a few days to visit relatives and friends. Their former home was at Millersburg, having left there now nearly thirty years ago for Audubon. Mr. Wilson is in very poor health having had an attack of paralysis a few years ago. Marengo Republican. H. S. Beckwith returned Monday from Newton where he was entertained at the fine home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Stocking. Mr. Beckwith says they have one of the most stylish and elegant homes he has seen for a long time.

Office over Soar's Harness Shop, Audubon, Iowa. Tel. 421. Messrs. Kellogg, Mendenhall and Carper reached home Friday evening from southern Texas after a delightful trip. They found our weather pretty chilly after basking in the sunlight of that southern climate and taking a swim in the Gulf of Mexico. Ed Smutney, who is now a gentleman of leisure, dropped off by the way to enjoy the sights and scenes to the full limit of his ticket. The trip from here to Brownsville takes three days and three nights. Their train out of Kansas City was composed of nine tourist sleepers of landseekers, and there were three other sections loaded with the same kind of fellows. At Brownsville, the colored porter of the car in which the Audubon gentlemen traveled, walked up the street and was shot by a policeman without excuse. Our readers will remember that a negro regiment stationed there shot up the town and since that time they are not in favor with the people there. The boys went to a place called Mission, sixty miles west of there and bought land advertised by Mr. Kellogg, it is located near the Rio Grande river from which water is taken for irrigation. That country is especially adapted to tropical fruits and vegetables. Mr. Mendenhall bought eighty acres for himself and family, Mr. Carper fifty and enough more disposed of to make in all twenty-eight ten-acre farms. The other parties here securing ten acres each are J. F. McCort, D. E. Soar, Chris Christensen, Lawrence Kline, Mrs. Ellis, R. G. Ping, Dr. Smith, A C. Harmon, Adam Kllllnger, John Killinger, Ira Baird, J. M. Gra ham and J. A, Graham. On their way home they stopped at Houston anil I Galveston. At the later place they I walked on the top of the big sea wail I and took a ride on the Gulf. They are 1 all enthusiastic over that country and the land they purchased. By the Atlantic News we learn that in the shoot down there last week among the amateurs, Audubon took high rank. Out of 400 balls, P. I. Appleman broke 3fto; Fred Vertnllya 353; Chas Kolb, 348; 11.

Miller of Cameron township, who went to California a year ago last fall, arrived in Audubon last Friday morning on his return from Honolulu where he spent the winter. Mr. Miller left San Diego in December and sailed from San Francisco for Honolulu twenty-one hundred miles away, arriving there on Christmas Day. He was much delighted with that city and the climate. The city has a population of 4,500. About 8,000 are white people, about 10,000 are Japanese and the others are made up of all kinds and classes from everywhere. In one mission school thirty-two nationalities are represented. The city is a beautiful place with fine streets, stores, hotels, schools, and churches. There are trolley cars in the city and a railroad in the country about 80 miles in length. The Island Three size Packages, 25c, 60c, $1.25, and $1.00 colors; plain, stripes and checks; 27 in. wide.
