ANY CITY OFFICIAL
CAN ATTEND MEETING
Mayor SchiIIinger Explodes
Popular Understanding.

Mayor Schillinger states that there
is a general misunderstanding regard
ing the appropriation of 500 made by
council to cover the expenses of the
city officials who will attend the
meeting of the Indiana Municipal
league to be held at Laporte next week.
1t has been reported that the mayor
would select the city officials who are
TO represent this city at the meeting.
He says that this report is a mistake.
Any city official who desires can at
tend the meeting. Those who do at
tend will have their expenses prorated
out of the appropriation. II the APP
preparation is not enough to meet the
entire expense Of each official who at
tends, the balance must come out of
the purses of the officials.

of being an accessory. but it is proba-
Bile no charge will be placed against
him either.
The police assert Straight. who is
more than seventy years old, is in a
failing mental condition. The man
has acted in peculiar manner for
some time. it is said, and is not be
lieved to have been responsible for his
actions yesterday. One of his hob

with the government for any sum he
cares to demand.

Both Straight and Clark were re-
leased this afternoon without charges

/ POOR GROCER.
Audubon's Lame Attempt to Succeed
as Merchant.


1t is not generally remem bered that
the worldwide reputation of Audubon
as Il naturalist incidentally is due to
his failure to establish himself perma'
nently as Missouri grocery merchant
and dealer in the best brands Of Ken

ST Genevieve loaded a keel boat at
Louisville. Ky. with $40 barrels O:
whisky and groceries and started down
the Ohio and Mississippi to st. Gene
We've to onen II grocery store. The trip
was made during the winter. and the
streams We're so full of ice that the
boat was drawn up against the bank
and white" quarters were established
just below Cape Girardeau. When St.
Genevieve was reached. after the open
ing Of navigation. the firm Of Audu-
bon & Rozier opened their store and
did n prosperous business. But the
business WAS done by Rozier. for All
duhon preferred the woods to the coun-
ter and devoted more of his time to
sketching and stuffing birds than he
did to marketing the 80 barrels Of
Kentucky bourbon or any other gro
ceries. This led to a dissolution Of the
partnership. On April II. 1911. Audu-
bon. convinced of his unftness for
business. sold out TO Rozier and took
up the work for which he was better
fitted than any one who had lived be-

which Audubon abandoned grew until
finally it extended throughout oil of
