Berlin, Germany, April 23.-It is
understood Germany, France, Austria
and Italy will send joint note to the
United States aud Spain, enioining
caution in dealing with neutral ship

These Powers also intend to send
vessels to the seat of war to observe the
naval and other operations. Germany
will probably send the Koenig Wilhelm.
Great Britain and Russia are still
hanging back.
The German government is strongly
incensed at the sale of the Hamburg

vessels we're auxiliary cruisers, and
therefore the consent of the government
of Germany. which WIS not obtained,

A Blockade May be First Established ar

A Blockade May bs First Established and
Declared Afterwards.
Washington, a pril 25. From the fact
that the State Department has not been
called upon SO far to prepare any proc
lamation giving notice of hlocakde of
either Porto Rico or the Philippines.
it may be set down as fact that the
naval forces are not yet ready to move
in that direction.
1t is the usual practice, as was shown
in the proclamation relative to the
blockade of Cuban ports, TO give due
notice to foreign Powers, by proolsma-
tion, of an intention to blockade. and
although IL is not absolutely necessary
to follow tai5 course, it is believed the
State Department will observe the
usual rule.
1t is entirely within the province of
an admiral commanding, however. if in
his opinion an emergency exists auiIi-
cient to justify it, to establish the
blockade first and then give notice, and
in the case OF the Philippines it is just
possible such course may be followed,
in order that the Spanish naval force
now at Manila might not be given an
opportunity to escape capture at the
hands of the United States Asiatic
squadron.

years, was elected to fill he vacancy
soon to occur by Prof. Harnly's leaving
to take position in the Industrial

The people of Audubon, town and
county, will be pleased to know that
Mr.. Repass has 80 soon secured good

greet as to his leaving are general. Prof.
Repass has exerted a strong, positive
and highly beneficial influence in Au-
dubon county educational matters for
the past Ten years, and he will be great,
ly missed here. Dexter is fine town
and the Normal school into which the
professor goes as instructor in mathe-
mates and bookkeeping, is an infiuen-

Several very extravaganza stories have
recently floated around concerning health
conditions in Audubon. These stories
seem to become exaggerated each time
they are repeated. Some were to the
effect that many were dying here from
diphtheria, others that none were al
lowed to come into town or go out, while
others were that several other fatal cpl
denies were prevailing. The actual fact
is that the health conditions never have
been dangerous except in very few
families where medical treatment was
not obtained soon enough and the dis
ease secured firm start. The other
cases were nearly all mild Excellent
quarantine was established, the alllic ed
families not being allowed to commune
cate with the rest of the world. The
trouble has SO far abated and danger
vanished that public meetings are al.
lowed again and school is to commence
next Monday. There never was any
real danger to those coming to oui
stores to trade as families affected were
carefully quarantined, but now even the
most careful need not hesitate in com
ing to our stores and business places
From what we have heard we are in,
clined to think some have spread reports
which were calculated to keep trade
away from here. Such persons have NJ
reason to act so now unless it be self

Out of the forty three cases Of diph-
liberia that have occurred here within the
past six weeks only three have proven
fatal or those three one received no
medical treatment until she was dying,
and at least one of the other two was too
far along before physician was called
to give much chance for successful treat
ment. Our physicians have successful
ly treated forty out Of forty-one cases
in town, and have really lost none out of
forty cases in which they had good
chance. This speaks volumes for the
sanitary conditions our board IT health
has enforced and for the treatment our
physicians have given, and it contradicts
some of the wild stories that fioated over
this country.

Rev Krell has recently received let
ter from Rev. L. w. Tippett, formerly
pastor here on the Audubon circuit. II
will be remembered Rev. Tippett went
to Arizona n few months ago from Colo
RADIO because of the very precarious con.
dition of his health. He wrote an inter
esting letter telling of his roughing it on
ranch. He is now living in Tucson
and helping some in store. He is aid,
ing local ministers and breaches nearly
every Sunday. He says, 81 went to
Arizona to die but cannot die for the
life of me-" He is improving aud thanks
his friends in Audubon county for theil
substantial remembrance OF him at @
time when he was in need. He says the
people of Tucson are four-hfths Mexi
cans and half-breeds and the Spanish
language ia largely spoken. The wealth
er is too warm for comfort except in the
shade.

The Little Duchess.

Those who attended the Little Duchess at
the opera house last night pronounce 1t the
best performance seen here for a long time.
The play was given by our own home talent
under the directions OF Mr. Clifford Reeves and
was entirely different from any play ever at
tempted here by local talent. There was not u
stick In the cast and each member of the com
pany deserve word of praise and the more so
because they all acted up to and for each other
thereby avoiding the occurrence of 20 many
defects 50 frequent with amatures Mr.. Reeves
deserves great credit for the manner In which
the play was put on, He had the respect of the
cast from tile first rehearsal to the close OF the
play, ana this alone assured success.
Robert Rice took the part OF Old Peter Rob-
bins The audience were expecting great
deal from Mr.. Rice and they were not disap-
pointed In the least. lie was simply fine, and
IL would seem impossible to find professional
TO carry out the part any better. lie Is perfectly
at home In a comedy role. Geo. Kerr as the
schemng william, Sir Leslie Gordon was ex-
ceptionally clever In the parts. 1t could not
have been placed In better hands. His scenes
with Lura and Helen Stubs displayed some
good acting. Chas. Bell took the part of the
Hero, Henry Graham, who also DISCUSSES as
Squire Hawkins. He put life and energy im his
part and his change to Squire Hawkins to save
Lura was watched with great interest. He
made n splendid hero. Clifford Reeves, the
director OF the play, took the part OF John Aims
worth and the comedy lawyer, Caitar. His
work through the play was fine and some of
his scenes displayed the best acting Of the
evening, especially the third act, the climax
scene OF the play. Miss Beulah Soar took the
part OF Duchess of Ailand. She carried it out
III refined and dignifed way. Her appear
ance and work all through the play was fine
and her scene IN the third act with Aims.
worth displayed great dramatic ability and
deserves special mention. Miss Verge Wilson
was Helen Stubbs, the giddy old maid, and to
say she made good old maid would only half
express 1t. She kept the audience conyulsed in
laughter. Her faclle expression and voice
were good and her singing was well received.
Lura, The Little Duchess, was assigned to Mrs.
Grace Kerr and she sustained the title role in
faultless style. She certainly proved herself To
be clever and versatile In this line of work and
put her whole life in the part. Her singing
speclalties were pleasure. Miss Cecilia Soar
presided NJ the organ and her playing added
greatly to the entertainment.
Tho play Is 10 be repeated tonight and il
should be greeted with IA good house as
IL certainly deserves our best support. Remem-
Der you are helping the hremen and you W III
see clever performance we can assure you.
