Was Very Largely Attended.
Toasts We're Excellent.
Dancing INDUCED In

One OF the largest attended Alumni
banquets in years was given last Friday
night at the West side hall in honor Of
the graduating class Of 1908 The Gus
tomary rain, which has generally ac-
companied these occasions in past
years, was not present, the evening
being typical balmy summers night,
and fully three hundred of the in
vited guests wendell their way to the
banquet hall, Toasted, danced, and
otherwise made merry on this coca
sion.
Cozy corners were fitted in the four
corners of the banquet hall, and the
hall was beautifully decorated in the
Senior class colors, and included the
class banner bearing the class year,
which suspended from the ceiling,
just back of where the guests of honor
were seated. The smaller room had
been fitted up, and served as recep-
tion ROOM.
Immediately after the three courses
of the feast had been consumed and
relished by the banqueters, the intelec-
tual side was next attended to, Leigh
Cary, president of the class, taking up
the duties of toast master in his usual
graceful manner Lois Notion of the
junior class was introduced to toast
the seniors, and she did so in a very
clever manner, enumerating both their
good and bad qualities, which she
found to be quite evenly balanced.
She wished them success on their trip,
on the ocean of life, on which they
were about to embark. Edna Coleman
OF the senior class responded to the
toast in a manner that was calculated
to bring laughter on the juniors, in
which she succeeded in brilliant
manner. She pointed out as one of
the early follies of that class, the time
when some OF it's members found the
1906 class banner in the gymnasium,
and had, by turning the "6'' upside
down, made it to signify their class
years of 1909, but not taking into &C.
count the difference color Of the two
class banners. She thanked the juni
ors, however, for their kindly consl-
Iteration OF the seniors, and only hoped
that they would fill their senior year
as worthily as did the 1908 class
Upon being introduced to toast the
high school faculty, Miss Mabel
Cochran Of the senior class, taxed her
memory to the extent of bringing out
peculiar characteristics of each mem
Der of the high school, which, as in
terpreted by her, were very laughable.
She also spoke Of the cordial relations
that has existed between the senior
class and the high school faculty.
In reply to this toast and the witty
sallies Of Miss Cochran, Supt. H. E.
White took up the cue and told Of a
number of incidents that occurred, in
which. members Of the senior class had
played most ludicrous parts. Although
he owned up that they had very good
points about them, he turned laughter
on them in very decided manner.
At the close of the toast giving the
floor was cleared, and dancing was in.
dulged in for several hours Bastien' s
orchestra furnished the music

PICNIC.

Sank Centre has made a good i'm
preston on j. W. Crossfeld, secretary
of the local lodge of the Modern Wood
men, who had gone there to see what
arrangements could be made for the
Woodmen county picnic, which IS to
be held at that place next month. The
picnic grounds is within a very short
distance of Sank Lake, in which lake
fishing is very good. The accomoda-
lions, such as boats and fishing sup
plies, are ample, and besides this, if
the Woodmen take notion to dance,
Mayor Minnette has offered the use of
a hall free of charge for this purpose.
A baseball game will also be in line

the Famous Ban
dit

In letter to the former bandit, Cole
Younger, Henry Wolfer, warden of
the Minnesota state prison at Still
water, brands Younger as coward,
says the Minneapolis Journal.
. Younger was anxious to get the con-
dltions attached to his Minnesota par
don removed. He particularly objects
to the condition that he shall never
return to Minnesota. So he wrote
asking Warden Wolfer to interceed
with the state board of pardons to
have the conditional pardon made un-
conditional.
Cole has received a reply said to
have been one of the warmest roasts
that ever went through the mails.

honor the memory of their soldier
dead. Gratitude to them who bravely
and nobly made the nations cause
their cause, inaugurated the custom

held the noblest cause for which free
men ever fought.
Human liberty was involved in that
great struggle, and in it's righteous
cause no man has ever died in vain.
But it is not that old wounds

This surpasses the ruby in beauty,

vhen such thine happen II Is 8 isct Issss;
they nigh want to build IA new
locality and that would afford Sti llwa-
ter az chance to secure it Another
plan IS to go to manufacturing centers
and seek those who want to start new
ones.
With good factory locations, good
labor conditions, proximity to market,
a supply of raw material, homes for
working people, low taxes, proper en-
couragement, any city that goes out
after factories will get its share Of
those that are seeking locations in the
West, declared the speaker.
;. The cash bonus plan was condemned.
The funds raised to encourage in
vestors in new factories might te
loaned at low rate of interest or be
invested in stock. One scheme sug-
gested was to aid a factory to secure
money from banks at a very low rate,
the commercial club guaranteeing to
the bank the principal and remainder
OF the interest required and taking the
plant as security.
; Plans for raising a fund for induc-
ing new factories to be located in a
city were enumerated. An instance
was given Of one city that negotiated
loan Of 500, 600 by the sale Of bonds
with the avowed purpose of park i'm
provements but the money was used to
secure factories and in a short time an
equal amount was raised in the same
manner by the same city. Mr.. Batter
son did not regard that as good plan
as raising the fund by donations, the
understanding being that only per-
centage of it would be used in promot-
ing any one industry and that provi.
sion be made for getting the money
back when the factory becomes pros
porous and the fund be a revolving one
for securing new industries in per-
petuity. .-~-.

SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE

Leslie M. Shaw, a former Secretary
of the Treasury, spoke at Burlington,
Vermont, August 2S, 1908, and he dis
cussed heparamount issues asfollows:
I" submit that it i'll becomes man
who brooks no opposition in his domi-
nation of political party to ask the
question: Shall the people rule?' 1t
is another example of Stop thief"
If the matchless orator and ambitious
leader of the opposition party were
once seated in the White House there
would be no further use for congress,
court, governor, or justice of the peace
Should the people rule? Verify they
shall! They had something to say in
November, 1896; they were more en-
phatic in 1900; and they will declare
themselves in November, 1908. The
interrogatory raises no issue unless
our opponents intend to change the
method by which the people shall
rule"

STEADY OLD VERMONT

Vermont held it's state election Tues
day of last week. The result was watch
ed for with much interest. For many
years ifhas been claimed that when
Vermont gives more than twenty-five
thousand plurality for the republican
ticket at the state election the election
of the republican national ticket is
sure to follow in November. AS the
advance guard in the great political
battle Vermont has come up in solid
phalanx against the enemy and won
another notable victory with plural
ity twenty nine thousand three hundred
seventy eight. Both parties made a
vigorous campaign with speeches by
some of the most notable orators.
Among the republicans was Secretary
Shaw, of Iowa, who is a power on the
stump anywhere, and especially strong
in his native state of Vermont.

AUDUBON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Fall Term Opened Last Monday Septem-
Der The Seventh

Tee summer vacation is over. For
three months the children have enjoy
ed their freedom from the restrictions
and labors of school. The time has
passed much too rapidly for them.
Many Of them are 10th to return to the
work and worry of the school room.
But it is better for them. Indeed it is
becoming quite popular in some parts
of the country to advocate longer
terms of school and shorter vacations
The schools of Audubon opened Mon
day. Transfers were made and work
assigned to the different classes. But
little change is noticed in the teaching
force of the school. Miss Patten does
not return to the High School and Miss
YOcum, of Iowa City, who took the
Masters Degree, at the University,
last year fills the vacancy. Patience
Elicit, Of De Soto, is another new
teacher, filling the vacancy caused by

down toward Villisca in securing sub
scriptions. According to The Allan
tic Telegraph they have held during
the past week five meetings north of
Kimbalton. The first was at Fiscus,
and from there they went to Manning.
Saturday afternoon a meeting was
held in one of the Shelby county school
houses along the proposed line and
that evening another meeting was held
Mr.. RattenbOrg states that If the sub
scriptions come in as rapidly the next
three months as they have the past two
by next spring they will be throwing
dirt on the new line. The success or
failure of the entire extension lies with
the people along the proposed routes
and if they desire the road enough to
subscribe for it and allow the right of
way there is no question but what the
line will be promoted and completed.
