ELOPEMENT RUMORED.
Col. J. N. holbrook. the Auc-
tioneer. Alleged to Have Left
,,... ..5 For Parts Unknown.

Considerable of scandal was
stirred up. this week by the rumor
that Col. J. n. Holbrook, the we'll
known auotioneer. had eloped with
Mrs. Will Thompson, the wife Of
the proprietor of the Ideal restau-
rant. As verfication of the rumor
the pair have been seen together at
Sioux Falls, Mitchell and other
points in South Dakota. III
Some time ago Mrs. Thompson
became dissatisfied with her domes-
tic relations, and demanded of her
husband division Of the property,
saying she was going to leave him.
The demand was complied with and
Mrs. Thompson left, ostensibly for
Illinois, to visit relatives, but in
reality going only as far as Sibley,
where it il alleged she was Joined
later by Mr.. Ho]brook. ~
A baggageman who runs on the
Sioux Falls branch Of the Omaha
line, says he met the pair face to
face on the streets of Mitchell. Mon
day, and as he personally knew both
parties there was no mistake as to
identity. Other parties who knew
them had seen them at other points
in South Dakota. Mr.. Thompson
is greatly enraged over the escapade
of the pair, and threatens dire
vengeance on the man he regards
as the despoiler Of his home. From
evidence that has accumulated the.
past week it is apparently clear.
case OF elopement, carefully plann-
ed beforehand, and 1t does not;seem.
possible at this time that the pair
can return and render an acceptable
explanation of their conduct. Both
leave spouse and grown up chill
dren, and their oondot seems mex
plicable. The South Dakota
authorities have been notified to be
on the lockout for the pair and they
will undoubtedly be apprehended
and punished. if they have been
guilty Of any wrong doing. Mr..
Holbrook left some unfulfiled pro-
fessional engagements, which
caused considerable inconvenience
to The parties interested.

much elated at the success that has
come to them. During the seven
years that he has had charge of the
farm he has devoted his energies to
the imprnvent of the standard Of
stock kept and crops grown, and as
an aid in the work has been a dill

by the most successful stock raisers
and farmers. He attributes much
of bis success to the knowledge
gained by actual observation of 70
suits as shown at the International
Stock Show at Chicago, of which be

Auditorium for the Chautauqua

Auditorium for the Chautauqua
At meeting of the directors oi
the Chautauqua Association held
recently it was decided to make an
effort to build an auditorium FOL
the next assembly. It is proposed
to. erect a building costing about
$500, and the plan is to raise the
money by subscription. So much
interest was manifested by those
present at the meeting that s270
was raised at once. A committee
composed of e. j. Smallwood, S. M.
Stewart and G. T. Tupper was ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions.
No enterprise ever undertaken
by the citizens of Worthington has
been so signal success as was last
summer e Chautauqua. It has done
more to advertise the city than any
thing else ever attempted. The
success of the first chautauqua was
attained under such unfavorable
weather conditions that the asso-
citation felt encouraged not only to
try it again, but to present the
strongest program it is possible to
SECURE and work on this matter
will be taken up at an early date.
The building Of an auditorium will
insure the permanency of the
chautauqua. and the committee
should meet with substantial en-.
oouragement from citizens and
property owners. es .~s
It il the aim of the directors to go
plan the structure that it can be
used for various purposes. The
success Of the railroad shopmen q
picnic held here last summer was
such that they will come again
next year, and the building can
be used at such time for a dancing
pavilion. BY providing for their
comfort it is reasonable to expect
they will MAKE Worthington the
permanent place for their annual
outing. Worthington certainly
has natural advantages, and with

And l therefore recommend that 2 tax Of five mills be levied to meet sad appropristious. one mil for county bond interes. and one-hzlf mill for county sinking fund As 10 the road tax, that you levy not to exceed three mills.
 An idea prevails that we should re- d1ce our taxes, but, ss you will see from the financial statement, our ex- yenses during the fiscal year ending June 9, 1S0s. CUT expenditures was SIS. oo0. and five mill tax On present valuations al e0 per cent vill raise just sufficient to meet such an outlay, and I think Il would be bad business policy not to levy g tax sufficient to meet such expenses.
 And I recommend an appropriation of s5o 10 be paid 10 Pulaski county as the pro rata of this county of the attor- ney's fees for the road tax suit by the Cotton Belt railroad.
 And l further say that l hope ~e will have no such extraordinary expense as we have just paid of. but from pres ent indications we will have eonsid- erable outlay by reason of the smallpox now prevailing in the county.
