NEW SCHOOL FOR THE LADIES
OF AUDUBON

1t is proposed with the encourage
ment and cooperation of the citizen
to esta blsh a school here for teach
ing the art of fine dressmaking and
ladies' tailoring. This is a matter
which command the attention of any
woman, as all are interested in dress
1t is certainly very desirable at
tainment for a lady to be able to
properly superintend or to do her
own dre5smaking particularly as that
art is now considered an accomplish
ment and a necessary adjunct to
lady'S finished education. The great
difficulty in the past has been how to
acquire that knowledge in satisfac
tory manner, but in this school that
prepleXing question will be fully
solved. Schools of this kind are now
being successfully conducted in some
twenty-five towns in this part of the
state al present. The Diamond Gar
ment Cutter is the most simple and
complete system in use-any one can
learn to use it. 1t is the only system
that keeps up with the prevailing
styles sit will last life time. Ladies
this is your opportunity, take advant-
age of it while it is here. We do not
come to you as nOviCes, but with
eighteen years of experience and with
the very best of references and testi-
monials from bankers. merchants,
professional men and women, dress
makers and pupils, all of which we
shall be glad to prove to you soon.
We employ only lady teachers
Ladies are always welcome in our
class rooms. For any information in
regard to the work, address

Republicans:
tt has been so long
since writing you from this portion
of Uncle Sans Dominions, that you
and your many readers may have for
gotten of the existence of the writer.
Receipt of your paper, reading the
letter from Lafoy Bros, of the Kings
DominiOns, observing in the
daily papers that snow plows
had to be used by the railroads in
Mimi. and North. Dakota, called to
mind how widely separated former
citizens of Audubon county now are
and the great diversity of climate
within the United States. Here wheat
is heading. will be ready for the har-
vest within thirty days, corn being
plowed the second time, Strawberries
ripe, new potatoes on the market, gar
den vegetables in abundance, peaches,
cherries, apples and plums half grown,
while the farmers in Audubon county
are still planting and in North Da-
kota the railroad blocked with snow.
Harvesting in Texas and planting in
Mimi, seems peculiar but nevertheless
the fact. Glad to know the people
who have cast their lot in Manitoba
are satisfied with the climate, soil and
the country, but please excuse me
from living in a country where it
SHOWS nine months out of twelve.
Iowa winters are severe enough to
suit almost any one. What would
you think and how would you like to
meet Manitoba zepher of fifty de-
grees below zero? This last winter
was the coolest experienced in Okla
homa for years. One morning the
thermometer registered seven below.
Our winter however did not commence
until about the Sth of January, opened
with rain turning to sleet, then snow,
covering the ground with fully two
inches of ice. This condition lasted
some two weeks, then more rain, rain,
rain, when in the middle of February
we had six inches of snow, the most
at one time ever known to this country.
Then it rained on Easter Sunday.
Just as it does in Iowa, but failed to-
rain for the next seven. Signs fail
here as elsewhere. However. it made

we had morning and evening rain.

this country is no longer in the

Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending May p, 1906
Des Moines, Iowa.
The daily average temperature Of
the week was from to 4 degrees be-
low normal, with an excess of clOudi-
ness. The rainfall was moderate, ex-
cept in a few localities: but there was
considerable excess of moisture in all
districts, caused by heavy rains of the
preceding week. Field work was gen
orally resumed on driest lands about
the 18th, and considerable progress
has been made in planting corn. In the
northwest district the bulk of the corn
acreage has been planted; in other
parts of the state this work is about
One-half to three-fourths completed.
In all sections the low and undrained
fields are quite wet, and more than the
usual amount of replanting will be
done. On dry and warm lands germi-
nation has been fairly good.
Pastures and meadows show luXuri-
ant growth, and small grain crops are
generally doing we'll. Warmer weather
is needed for rapid growth. Reports
are not favorable as to the cherry crop
but other fruits are doing fairly well.
With normal weather in the future
the general crop conditions will be
very satisfactory.

fenced and none broken, now many
good houses, land largely fenced,
much of it broken and in crops, or
chards and groves planted, the fruit
trees loaded with fruit, peaches being
the most plentiful. If nothing hap
pens the next year or two the farms
will have abundance and to spare, of
all fruits except apples. They appar-
emily not so well adapted to this
country as peaches, cherries, plums,
apricots, pears and all kinds of small
fruit.
Good farms vary in price from
So, 900 to s., 900 others can be had at
from 200 and upwards, depending
on character, improvements and To-
cation, sometimes on how badly the
party desires to sell. In such cases a
good farm can be had at a bargain.
The mining proposition still remain
ing in the doubtful class or rather in
the early development stage, largely
speculative. Still, however, much
work is being done, good finds of
rich mines frequently reported. These
however, do not create the excitement
they did few years ago. Several
companies appear to have faith in the
proposition as there are at this time
four or five Smelters under the course
of construction of a capacity of 80
tons. The oil and gas conditions is
in about the same state of development
The Texas people appear to have met
with the best success far, they having
found both oil and gas in paying
qualities five miles east of town. The
Chicago people are down about 2,2OO
feet, close and no laxative corpor-
Hnt,
known only to themselves. That tfiey
have struck something good is Judged
from their action, by quitting oper-
atoms and securing all the oil and
gas leases possible, paying much bet
ter prices than formerly.
You have doubtless read of the de-
struction of Snyder by cyclone on
the evening of the 10th inst. 1t was a
town OF about one thousand, nearly
due west OF this place thirty five miles,
at the junction of the Frisco and
blackwell, Enid and South Western
IL. II. In klowa county thirty miles
south OF Hobart. The number of
deaths at this time is reported at ITO
and 100 injured. But six houses left
unlnJured in the entire city. Some of
the dead were found with the head
severed from the body, others with
limbs gone, timbers driven through
the body of others, dead and wounded
alike being unacceptable, without
clothing and so covered with mud,
lacerated, bleeding, dying, that it
made the stoutest men tremble, sick
and faint looking at the fearful death
and destruction. Merit Overholtzer,
a former Audubon boy, and his fam
lily escaped without injury. Have not
been able to learn whether he lost his
house or not, think not, however as
he he lived in the south east part of
the town and out side of the track of
the storm. Yours,

Lewis & Clark Exnosition.

1t is noteworthy fact that the Lew
is and Clark Exposition is the first
worlds fair to be held west of the
Rocky Mountains which has secured
the aid of the Government.
And it is also surprising what an in
terest is manifested in the Exposition
by the people of the East. They see
inthe Exposition anoppOrtunity to Wis
it theWeStern country at a greatly re-
duced expenditure of money, and not
only see the Exposition itself, but view
the wonders of our Western scenery,
and witness the great resources of the
Northwest and the opportunities afford
ed. The Great Northern Railway pas
senger department has been flooded
with inquiries as to the Exposition,
and it augurs well for a big travel
through the Northwest this year.

Visitors to the Iowa State Fair this
fall, especially those who have attend
ed before, will notice many pleasing
improvements to grounds and build
ings. A new fence has been erected
about considerable portion of the
grounds, and handsome iron gate
way is to be placed at the Grand ave-
nue. entrance. Twenty-one register
ing turnstiles from the ST. Louis ex-
position are to be installed at the
admission gates for the accurate and
rapid handling of the big crowds.
Considerable landscape gardening is
to be done this summer, and when the
fair opens on August % it is hoped to
have numerous beds of beautiful flow
ers located about the grounds for the
visitors to enjoy. New walks are be-
ing put in many places and the streets
are being much improved The Art
building has removed to give better
view from the portico of the Women's
building, and "A liberal supply of new
settles and porch chairs have been
