AUDUBON, IOWA, THURSDAY, APRIL 80, i
MORE RAILROAD TALK
Colonel Adams OF Walnut Attended Meet,
ing OF Commercial Club Monday
Night In Interest OF Des Moiues
Audubon Omaha Railway

The building of railroads seems to
be taking on great deal of ezra in
terest this spring. Last week we had
the visit from Harlan. Monday night
Colonel Adams, of Walnut, was here
In the interest OF his road from Audi.
bon to Omaha. And this is not the onl y
place that talk is heard of building
new roads. Theroad from Des Moines
to Creston has passed beyond the first
stages and will probably be financed
in short time when the actual work
OF construction will be com nencod.
Another line has been projected from
Red Oak to Des Moines and several
meetings have been held the last month
The Register and Leader OF Tuesday
had a map OF northwest Iowa show
ing number OF new lines under dis
cussion, which shows line from Des
Moines to Omaha, through Audubon,
and another from audubon upto Fort
Dodge by way OF Carroll aud Lake
City.
To return to the line projected by
Colonel Adams from Des Moines To
the Bluffs via Audubon. He argues
in favor of steam road for freight
with an inter-urban attachment for
passenger service, with motive pow
er OF gasoline or storage batteries.
He contends that his line from here to
the Bluffs is altogether better than the
one out by Harlan because OF the dis
lance and the grades. The meeting
was well attended and after Mr.. Adams
withdrew the discussion was continued
until a late hour. A committee CON
sistihg of II. G.. Spencer. E. II. Bill
harz, II. A. Buthweg and John Weigh
ton was appointed to meet Mr.. Adams
on Tuesday morning to listen to more
definite propositions from which re-
port could bemade to the Commercial
Club for its consideration. Aswe have
stated elsewhere new line of road will
be built between the capital city and
the Missouri across Audubon county,
and through the town of Audubon pro-
vided the town and its people will meet
the conditions. 1t is not question
of what we can afford to do, but as to
what we can afford NOT to do.

The Best Boy In School

His name was Robert Johnson and
he was considered the best boy In the
school, not only in his books but his
actions, too. Robert had only lived
in Ragged Cliffe two months when the
incident | am about to relate occurred
1t was about the middle of the month
OF November and everybody was look
ing forward to the last game of the
season, which generally comes on
Thanksgiving day. The Ragged Cliffe
High School was to play the Rock
Ridge High School at foot ball; it was
then that Robert showed what he was
made of. The game was to be played
on the home ground; everybody was
talking about it and everybody was
anticipating good crowd and good
game, too. At last the day dawned and
everything was in a whirl; people JOS
tied one another in the attempt to get
seat. Robert was not on the team
but was as much interested in 1t as
anybody was; the game proceeded.
The Rock Ridge team was ahead when
suddenly crash down came the ball
with a boy on top of it and several
boys on top OF him. He was seriously
wounded and had cut an ugly cash in
his forehead that was bleeding pro-

nearly thirty years until he sold il
three years ago, is now candidate
for governor on platform of his
own making which includes woman
suffrage and prohibition. Mr.. Hamil-

he has no show whatever of getting
the nomination. He has been very
ardent Cummins man but he will get
no support from the Cummins men.
Every one of them will vote for Sena-

GOVERNOR HUGHES

1.-THE great lesson today, both in
business and in politics, is the old
lesson of fidelity to trust, and | am
glad to say that / believe for every
rascal there are a thousand with
standards of probity."
The statement above by Governor
Chas. E. Hughes of New York is a
sermon in itself. 1t is the gospel OF
optimism. And Notwithstanding the
fact that few men in responsible pos
itious have proved recreant to their
trust, we believe the governor is right
in his estimate that "For every rascal
there are thousand men with stand.
ards of probity." Some bankers have
been dishonest but the per cent is ex-
ceedingly small. Some politicians
have been tricky and deceitful, but
most of them average well up with
other classes. Some merchants may
sand their sugar or monkey with the
weights but most of them are as hon.
est as the parties to whom they sell.
Dishonesty, defalcation, embezzlement
are the exceptions, which for that
reason are noted and published to the
world; while honesty, integrity and
uprightness are the rule and are TAX
en- as a matter of course. We need
more speeches like those being made
by Governor Hughes.
At a meeting of the New York State
Central Committee which unanimous
ly Endorsed his candidacy for presi-
dent Congressman Douglas spoke as
follows:
"We have in the white house today
great man, aman who has blazed the
way, a man who by his own efforts and
accomplishments has electrified the
world and shed a luster upon us. He
has dug deep into the morass of things
that have Slapped at vitality of the ma
ton. Let us call this man the path
maker" We have among us anoth-
er man fully capable of carrying out
the policies of President Roosevelt, a
man of calm judgment who will bind
up any wounds that have been made,
who by his clear sightedness and de-
liberation will complete the great work
our president has begun. We have
had path-maker; let US name him a
peacemaker. We need have no fear OF
praising the one and indorsing the
other"

Robert had Witnessed it all and go
ing at break-neck speed for jug of
water and when he returned he gave
the boy the water and took his own
handkerchieffrom his pocket and stop
ped the flow of blood before the other
boys had time to realize what had hap
pened. He then, with thehelp of anoth-
er boy, carried himto a clean spot and
put coat under his head. A doctor
was sent for and when he arrived he
said If 1t had not been for Rob-
ert he would have despaired of the
boys life.
After that Robert was made the pet
of the school and was referred to by
such names as Bravo" +" Pride of
the school," and everybody honored
and respected him. He is now a pro-
fessor in one of our schools, has
home and children of his own who
we hope will grow to have as manly
character as their father

CARROLL A STRONG CANDIDATE

1t was quite apparent during the
time the delegates TO the republican
state convention we're in Des Moines
that the candidacy of Hon. B. f. Car
roll for governor is going to be a very
formidable one. His headquarters
were crowded all the time with men
from all portions of the state, who
brought to him reassuring reports Of
great strength, which promises very
shortly to develop into real enthus.
iasm.
Mr.. Carroll certainly has right to
aspire to the high Office he seeks. His
worth has been proven in many ways.
He was careful and efficient legisla-
tor. Following his services in the
legislature, he was elected to an Office
which all who understand the states
affairs recognize as the most exacting
office in the state, to-wit, the position
of state auditor. That Office has to do
with verw intricate subjects, banking
and insurance. AS state auditor, Mr..
Carroll has shown great capacity
for executive duties; and he has ad-
ministered the affairs of the Office with
singular judgment and ability. He
has accomplished great deal for the
good of the state without making any
special fuss about it. The value of
this work is realized by those who
have intimate knowledge of these
things; when the people of the state
find out about it, as they will, due
credit will be given him.
Mr.. Carroll will make an efficient
business governor in the very best
sense of that term. He will not seek
to make the governorship political
brokers' Office, neither will he use it to
build up one set of men to the destruc-
tion of all who will not bend the sup
plant knee, or wear tag, or put on
collar. His candidacy SO far has
been conducted quietly, but none the
less effectively, and from now on it
may confidently be predicted that he
will be the leading candidate before
the June primaries. Cedar Rapids

MRS. LIZZIE WILLIAMSON
SAYS HUSBAND is CRUEL
Woman Who Was Cause of NEAR
Case of Shooting on Streets of Pen
dleton Objects TO Being Used as
Human Football - Man Recently
Arrested for Creating Disturbance
by Wife Beating.

Although it is less than six months
since she was last freed from such
an encumbrance, Mrs. Lizzie William
son is again appealing to the circuit
court to free her from a husband
with whom the bonds of matrlmony
have become unbearable.
George Williamson is the husbands
name and he is accused of cruel and
hhuman treatment. George is al
legged to have beaten his helpmeet on
at least one occasion, and the COM
plant, which is filed by Peter West,
suggests that the wife don't like It..
Williamson was recently arrested by
the police for creating a disturbance,
having attacked the wife until her
cries aroused the Heighborhood. when
police were summoned to the wo-
mans assistance.
On May 2S, Mrs. Williamson, who
was then Mrs. Price, was freed by the
court from marriage to L. T. r. Price.
the Adams butcher. Although the
oregon law prevents marriage with
in six months after such a decree. she
married Williamson, but Price kind
ly prevented complications by dying
Some months ago Price created n
sensation in Pendleton when he
found his Lizzie in company with
another man, on the street in front
of the f. o. office and pulled a gun,
which failed to work properly and
thus prevented a killing.

FACTORY OUTLOOK
IS OPTIMISTIC
j. =. WILBUR WILL MEET
WITH ORGANIZERS.
Interest in Movement Has Revived,
and Local Workers VIII Meet the
First of Week-Wilbur Confident
That Industry Can BE Made to Pay
Committees Now at Work.

Instead of this afternoon the wool
en- mill meeting will be held the first
of the week, and at that time ]. p.
Wilbur, prospective manager of the
mill will be here from Union for the
purpose of consulting with those in
terested in the movement.
Word was received here from Mr..
Wilbur this morning. He has always
been an earnest advocate of the local
mill and has shown a disposition to
aid in rejuvenatng the industry re-
gardless of who has the management.
He has absolute faith in the ability of
the mill to make money If properly
conducted.
This afternoon Mr. Wilbur was re-
quested to come to Pendleton again
for the purpose of meeting with the
prospective stockholders. He will be
here the first of the week and at that
time a meeting of those interested in
the matter will be held in the asso-
citation rooms.
During the past few days there has
been a manifest revival of interest in
the subject Of the woolen mill. As a
result those behind the movement are
very hopeful of carrying out the plans
formed a few weeks ago
Already several new people have
manifested an inclination to go into
the company and it is believed that
sufficient capital will be forthcoming
for the enterprise.
At the present time two committees
are at work, one to negotiate with
the owners of the mill and one to Sc
cure the remainder of the capital
needed.

strong points of the one were the

and on defensive managed to break
up Pendleton's line bucks for the
most part, and force punts.
The local fellows were right back
at 'em. however, and Columbia failed
upon every attempt with the forward
pass, owing to Pendleton's strong de-
fense, while Baker managed to make
several good gains through the line.
On punting Baker had the best of It

but Columbia ran in the punts in
better shape than the locals.

Baker, Bean, until he was taken
out, Kimball. Bowman and Sturgis
played strong games for Pendleton,
while Captain Walker, Campbell, the
right end and the fast half, Ennis,
were Columbia's strong men.
The game was a splendid exhibi-
tion of the new game of football, but
the lovers Of the old regime yester-
day hated the constant interchange
of punts and the forward pass plays.
Officials were Moorhouse of PEN
dleton, and Cooper of The Dalles.
