MARRS' PLEA
IS SELF
DEFENCE

Enfield. ". II. Sept. S-The local author
tiles learned today that as the result of
quarrel between Isaac sanborn and
Everett E. Marrs during the night San
born was shot through the stomach and
probably fatally wounded The trouble
occurred at the home Of Harold b. Free
man, where the two men happened 10
meet Marrs claims that Sanborn drew n
revolver and fired several shots at him,
none OF which took effect and that he
drew his own revolver in self defence,
firing the one shot which pierced San
born's body. Marrs went 10 Canan and
told his story TO the sheriff who with a
physician went 10 Freemans house. IL
was found there that Sanborn was In a
critical condition and the physician said
there was little chance for his recovery.
Marrs was taken into custody. Sanborn,
who Is engaged in the real estate busi-
ness. is unmarried Marrs is married. but
his wife has not been living with him
for a year past. The authorities allege
that the quarrel between the two men
was over woman.

probably Kuropatkin's preparations for
taking the offensive
Telegraphic and railroad communica-
tions between the Russian army and Muk-
den were still open this morning. For
strategic reasons the general staff decided
not 10 publish the text OF Kuropatkin's .
official dispatch OF yesterday morning.
TACTICS APPROVED.
Kuropatkins official dispatch of yes
terday, the substance OF which was sent
to The Associated Press In military>
circles, where the progress Of the battle
Is known. Kuropatkins tactics are ap.
proved and confidence Is expressed In the
issue.
The failure OF Toxic to chronicle the
volunt airy passage OF Kuropatkin's main
army across the river is believed here to
indicate that the Japanese desire to reap
as much glory as possible IL they sue
ceed in taking possession OF Liao Yang.
Neither Kuropatkins decision to make
the crossing with his army. nor the fact
that the bulk OF | tis over, which was
exclusively announced by The Associated
Press. was known 20 the Russian public
till this morning.
THEIR SPIRITS REVIVED.
Even then the public had some diff
ficulty In figuring out the exact situation
OUT the mere knOMleuBe OF the ract tnat
Kuropatkin had begun attack -uporf
Kuroki served TO revive the peoples
spirits which had dropped perceptibly
during the past IS hours without Official
news.
Noinformation has yet been received re-
garding the result of Kuropatkins attack
upon Oyama's right and the keenest
anxiety exists as TO the result Of the
whole battle which is now in the balance.
II Kuropatkin is defeated his retirement
further northward would seem TO be i'm
perative while on the other hand a Rus
sian victory might turn the tide OF war.

independence to Celebrate.

Friday and Saturday of this
week June "a and rs, has been
fixed for the time of the big farm
er's picnic at Independence. A
farmers picnic will begin Friday

varied from the first day, will be
repeated and the evenings meet
ing in the big auditorium will
again be devoted to the sessions
of the farmers, and the discus
sion of matters of interest to the
farmers. The gathering prom
ises to be one of the best yet held
in the state, and is certain to be
one of interest to all who attend.
Farmers from all parts Of the Will
lamette valley will be present,
and will take on the nature of a
farmers institute combined with
the pleasures of a country fair.
A contest is now on, which
promises to be very interesting,
in the selection of a maid of
honor that will accompany the
governor to the picnic gr-unds.

leaders at this time are, Ruby
Kelso, 2S7; Florence Burton, 182, :,

esting. Governor Chamberlain will
be the principal speaker at the
picnic. The convention is under
the supervision OF the Oregon
Agricultural College, assisted by

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1904-10-13

There being wish to know whether
surrounding states that have adopted
biennial elections like the plan or not,
Senator Titus, of Muscatine, the
father of the plan here, wrote Gov.
Van SAINT concerning it and received
the following reply:
State of Minnesota, Executive Dept.
st. Paul, Mimi, Feb'y 9th, 1902.
Hon. G. M. Titus, Muscatine, Iowa.
Dear Sir:-Answering
your communication of recent date,
permit me to state that a number OF
years ago our constitution was amend
ed so as to provide for biennial cleo
tions. Prior to that time our elections
occurred annually. The change has
been universally satisfactory and the
matter of returning to the old system
is never mentioned. There is no sem
timent whatsoever in our state to the
effect that annual elections would tend
to keep the people better posted on
political matters. Biennial elections
result in a saving of public funds.
Yours very truly.
S. II. Van SAINT.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1904-10-13

There are two constitutional amend
ments to be voted on by Iowa voters
this fall, the one providing for bienni-
al elections and the other providing
that each county in the state shall
have representative in the lower
house of the legislature, and that
some of the larger counties shall have
two representatives. Under the con-
stitution at present the number of
representatives, is limited to 100.
Seven of the more populous counties
each has two representatives now,
Linn, Scott, Polk, Pottawattamie,
Dubuque, Woodbury. and Clinton.
This causes six districts in the north
west part of the state to be composed
of two counties each. Several of
these counties have now become as
populous as many counties now hav-
ing representatives. Three have
more population each than Audubon,
and Audubon is not the smallest in
population of the counties having
representatives,. A county is the unit
of government in our state and we
think each county should have a
representative. In justice to these
newer counties we believe the amend
ment ought to be adopted.
