Hickman Won.

One Of the most interesting ball
games every pulled OFF on the local
grounds was that played by Hickman
and a team from Union City Mon
day.
The score was S TO 3 in favor OF
Hickman.
Hickman has enough talent to or
ganize a good amateur team and
with the proper encouragement this
can be done.
Such games as that played Mon
day deserve better attendance on
the part OF Hickman fans.
The star actors in Mondays game
for Hickman we're Holcombe and
Neighbors. only one hit being made
off OF Neighbors. and that the first
man up in the first inning. Holcombe
played his position-second base
like a professional.

keld. Pyle, Sexton.

COLONEL HEPBURN'S DEFEAT

The greatest surprise of the election
in Iowa was the unexpected defeat Of
Colonel Hepburn, of the eighth dis
trict. Colonel Hepburn has been a
leading member of congress for twenty
years. AS chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Committee he had charge
of the rate bill in the house and was
highly recommended by President
Roosevelt for his efficient work and
iudiclous leadership. While num-
Der of things had something to do
with the result the principal cause
dates from two years ago when the
standpatters knitted the governor in
such free and easy manner. Now
the progressives have had their inning
and Hepburn is the man who suffers.
The news of his defeat reached him on
his seventy fifth birthday which indi-
Gates that he is old enough to retire.
For two years the eighth district will
not be on the political map at Wash
ington and then the republicans down
there will get together and elect one
of their good strong men for the posi-
ton.

RAILWAY EXPANSION

While on visit to Clarinda last
week, his birthplace and former resi-.
dence, Vice President, Brown, OF the
New York Central said, that as soon
as the election OF Taft was assured he
sent out over hundred kilograms re-
leasing orders for railroad supplies
and equipments for the New York
Central aggregating in cost $3l zoo, 900
These orders had been placed some
time ago, but each was made contin-
gent on the election of Taft because
they felt that should the election go
against him the money and CONNER
cial market of the country would be
too seriously disturbed to warrant
their going ahead with impro vements
to any such extent. He further stated
that other railroads had done the same
thing and when the orders were all
released they would amount to not
less than $2i0, 900, 900 for equipments
that will go into railroad buildings,
extensions and Improvement of rolling
stock. f" Mr.. Brown believes there will
be the greatest railroad, commercial
and industrial activity ever known In
this country.

Good Old Iowa

The News, for the sake of satisfying
it's own curiosity asked some twenty
business men of the city If they knew
the origin of the word "Iowa" and
out of the number found but three who
could give an answer to the question,
and only two of these were correct. 1t
is safe to say that not one man In ten
is aware of the origin of the word, so
if you have gone through life thus far
not knowing how the name OF your
own state originated you are no excep-
ton to most of the Iowans and have
have no cause to be ashamed of the
fact. The word Iowa" is combi-
nation of Sac and Fox words meaning
This is the Place" The story of the
origin is that while wandering on the
prairies of Illinois band of Sax and
Fox Indians became separated from
their brethren and travelled westward
day after day they travelled and when
they came to the Mississippi River
near the mouth of the Iowa the chief of
the band, looking out over the fertile
valleys across the river from the BLUM
on which he was standing, raised his
hands heavenward and then exclaimed
"Iowa!" or "This is the Place." The
word was spelled "Ayoua" by the
early French explorers and the or
biography of the word afterwards
changing to Ioway" as it was SPELL
ed by the early English speaking set
tiers, and finally to the present way
of spelling, Good Old Iowa. The

BATTLE OF
GETTYSBURCH
Renaissance BY EYE WITNESS
Mrs. Georgia Wade..McClellan, Of Deni.
son, lnspects the Woman's Relief
Corps and Entertains by Giving
Some Personal Experience.

Audubon was honored last Monday
by the visit of lady whose personal
experience makes an entertaining
chapter in the history OF the Civil War
Mrs. Georgia Wade Mcclellan, of
Denison, Iowa, came here in her OIL
cial capacity to inspect the Woman's
Relief Corps. At one O'Clock ban
quet was served at the home OF Mrs.
Mary Kraus where the members enjoy
cd the delicious viands and delight
full social hour. In the evening they
met again at the same place and the
editor OF the Republican was one OF a
few friends invited to meet and hear
the distinguished lady relate some of
her personal experience which was
done in an informal but highly enter
tanning manner.
Mrs. Mcclellan was a native OF
Getty sburgh and at the time of the
great battle was resident of Gene
terry Hill where she lived In small
brick house. Her husband was In the
army before Richmond and she was
nursing her first born child, baby
boy only one week old. In the house
with her we're her mother, her sister
Miss Jennie Wade twenty years OF
age and her little brother, Harry, who
was eight. Her home was right be-
tween the lines of the two armies but
guarded by pickets of the Union troops
On the second, Miss Jennie watched
the movements from an upper window,
waving her apron and cheering our
boys when they got the best OF the
Johnnies. Some OF the latter saw her
from an orchard they occupied near
by and the window castings still bear
the scars made by minnie balls that
we're aimed ut her handsome face. She
and her mother busted themselves In
baking bread for the soldiers who
we're located about the house. On the
morning OF the third, Jennie and
Harry brought in wood and water for
the day. About eight O'Clock Miss
Jennie, who was standing in the sit
ting room, screamed and fell to the
floor from minnie ball that came
through two doors and struck her In
the back. That was the beginning of
day OF terror. The house was struck
by seven shells. The windows we're
badly shattered by the minnie balls
that rained about the house. One Of
them struck the bed post where Mrs.
Mcclellan was lying and the splint-
ers we're scattered over her face. The
family were ordered to- the cellar.
Soldiers carried the body OF her sister

down because her mother insisted she
wouldn't go unless they did. From
early morn till one o'clock at night
the young mother sat in rocking
chair holding her baby on her lap.
Every time she'll would burst the
little fellow would jump and she would
press him more closel y to her breast.
Along about ten O'Clock at night the
strain became too great and her scream
ing attracting the soldiers, the matter
was reported and General Howard
himself went down to the cellar and
kneeling beside her chair offered an
earnest prayer for her comfort. On
Saturday, the 4th of July, cabinet
maker finished coffin partly made by
confederates for one of their officers,
and with the assistance of the soldiers
they buried the body OF the dead girl
In the garden. The young man to
whom she was betrothed died in the
hospital ten days later and their bodies
lie In Evergreen Cemetery where in
1901 the Relief Corps OF Iowa erected
a monument In honor OF the young
lady whose life was sacrificed while
she was busy baking bread for the
soldiers of the Uuion army. The
house Is now a museum and the blood
of her young life still marks the spot
where she fell. When the sun rose
that morning its rays fell upon the
bodies OF fifteen dead soldiers who lay
upon the single lot on which her house
was located. Messrs II. j. Creveling
and l.. A. McGinnis have the honor Of
sharing In that battle and the latter
who heard Mrs. Mcclellan says hewas
on duty that dreadful third not more
than hundred yards from her home.
As soon as she had sufficiently recov.
cred Mrs. McClellanentered the hos
pital where she did good service till
the end OF the war. She Is we'll pre-
served, fine conversationalist and u
lady whom II Is pleasure to meet,
AS the editor was born and reared In
that state and as a young boy was
within hearing distance OF the battle
he was delighted to meet and hear
Mrs. Mcclellan.

THE DOUBTFUL STATES

Much was said during the campaign
about the doubtful states. Both par
ties agreed that New York, Ohio and
Indiana were doubtful; and they prob
ably were until two or three weeks be-
fore election. When Bryan was nomi-
mated it was believed that all the states
east of Ohio would be against him
without campaign and the fight must
be made in the west. But after he made
q whirlwind dash through New York
the republicans got scared and except
ing in Ohio and Indiana the principal
battle was waged east of the Allegha-
MES. The great state Of New York
doubtful to the last according to gen.
eral opinion-furnished the greatest
surprise of the year. Republicans
hoped that Taftwould come down from
the country with sufficient numbers to
overcome the large majority against
him in New York City. But to the
great surprise and delight of the re-
publicans and the still greater sur
prise and chagrin of the democrats
the city itself gave Taft a majority of
ten to fifteen thousand. And the plu-
rality in the state was larger than that
of Roosevelt in 1904. The election of
Governor Hughes added much to the
qualification felt by the republicans
throughout the wholecountry. Because
of local fights Ohio and Indiana elect
ed democratic governors and defeated
some republican members of congress,
while giving the electoral vote to the
eoublicau ca ndidate.

THE RESUMPTION OF PROSPERITY

For months the industrial world has
been able to give only partial atten-
ton to industry. 1t has had one eye
on the changing aspects of the presi-
Dental contest and the other on busi-
ness. Whenever there seemed to be q
wave of Bryan enthusiasm the indus
trial world shivered with apprehen-
sion of dull days and idle factories.
Hencethe unwillingness to take chances
and the numerous contingent orders.
Hence the openly avowed, honest be-
lief of employers that there would be
less employment if Bryan were elected.
The vote for Mr.. Taft in the great in
dustria al states show that the working
man took the same view of the situa-
ton. 1t was in those states which
have suffered most severely from the
business of the last year that the folly
of putting obstacles in the way of re-
turn to normal conditions was keenly
appreciated.
Thanks to Tuesdays vote, thereis a
clear sky overhead. There is nothing
in sight to alarm the industrial world
and keep it from giving undivided at
tention to most important task-the
full restoration of prosperity. Rail-
road men, bankers, merchants and
manufacturers should work in unison
for it. There has been an improve
ment in conditions during the last six
months despite the fears and doubts
which attended the presidential cam
paign. From now on progress should
be rapid and uninterrupted, because
there is an assurance that there will
not be at the head of the government
for the next four years an erratic and
unframed man whose motives may be

SOME REASONS FOR RESULTS

Now that the election is over and
both democrats and republicans are
surprised at the result it may be of
interest to mention some of the rea-
sons that brought it about. In the first
place the business interests ofthe coun-
try were afraid of the rule ofthe demo-
cratic party and particularly so with
a theoretical and radical man like
Bryan at its head. Whatever he might
have done, his election would have
caused enough uncertainty to serious
ly disturb business confidence. In
the second place the farmers were well
satisfied with their prosperity during
the last ten years and didn't want any
change that might lower the prices of
their products. In the third place the
panic of last fall, which for time
greatly disturbed the conditions OF
labor and prophesied defeat for the
republic ans, reminded the labor ele-
ment of what had occurred only a
dozen years ago and gave them fore
taste of what might easily happen
again, that they became alarmed and
voted for what they believed to be the
best assurance for a full dinner pail
Another element that we believe had a
deciding effect in many places was the
favor in which Judge Taft was held
by the Catholics, because of the dis
cretion and fairness he exhibited in
deciding the business affairs between
the church and the government while
he was acting as governor of the Phil
ippine Islands.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1908-11-12
THE RESULT

The national republican victory of
Tuesday spells welfare for the coun-
try. Thus IL is its own explanation.
The electors went to the polls to vote
for prosperity. They rightly believed
their best interests to lie along the line
of continued republican rule,
The American people do not dislike
Bryan. They simply believe that he
is not cut out for the very responsible
job of chief executive OF the nation.
1t was so easy for them to reject him
with a man like Taft as the alterna-
tive. And the people are right right
again, as they always are. Taft's cleo
tton means an immediate impetus to
prosperity. The announcement today
of the result of yesterdays ballotipg
will do more to establish confidence
than any other one thing that might
happen to the country. And confidence
is what makes the mare go. Those sus-
pended and contingent orders will
stand and be fulfilled; the wheels of
industry will hum and the country will
move forward.
AS for further consideration of
Bryan, he is far from pathetic fig
ure. If he told Hearst that his place
in history is secure, he spoke the truth.
1t is. He has been singled out by a
great body of the American people
for rare honor-to be three times the
candidate of great party for the
presidency. 1t isn't this alone that
makes him an interesting personality.
ga magnificent agitator," Berlin
paper styled him at the time of his
nomination at Denver last June. Will
he continue to agitate? He likely will,
and in that line of activity, who is to
say he is without value to his country?
But as for his being put into the white
house to agitate, why the American
people think-and now thrice have
said--'tis better to keep him on the
outside. The responsibilities OF state
craft they will give to men like Taft.

Good Bye, Billy Bryan! Good Bye !

Farewell,
A long farewell,
A permanent and sure farewell
To all thy frequency.
Here burns thy candle out;
Here from it's sputter CLEANS
The flicker of the tallow dip
Which lighted all thy dreams
OF campaign conquest and the Pie
Which for so long has stood
Upon the counter waiting for
Somebody to make good.
Thy matchless leadership is matched
AS usual, but now
You've got to quit the game for good
Aud make your farewell bow.
Farewell, farewell,
To all your hopes,
You're knocked clean outside
Out of the ropes.
Sixteen to one are odds too great
For even such as thou,
And you mustswap your cross of gold
For one old-fashioned pillow.
Back to the fields
Where the pumpkins nod
A gay good morning
To their friends of the sod.
No longer can you charm the yaps
With your magnetic spells:
The air is full of frost these days,
And likewise of farewells.
Your query, "Shall the people rule?'
Is rather up to you
Since Tuesday, when the ballot box
Replied, "They shall and dol"
The whole of yesterday was heard
The ballots as they fell,
Most of them cheerful, some in tears
And all of them farewell,
Farewell to all thy greatness, Bill,
Three times and out is yours.
1t is not he who hits the air
That figures in the scores.
Farewell, lingering last farewell;
Whatever others do
There's none can evertake your place
We got so used to you,
And yet, farewell,
Ia ia. goodbye,
So long, adieu,
And as we sigh
There cometh an eud to his last cam
paign,
And Bill is never the same again.

UNCLE JOE A WINNER

Next to electing Colonel Bryan for
president the democrats wanted most
of all to defeat Uncle Joe Cannon for
member of congress and speaker of
the house. In this desire they had the
cooperation of Gompers and his fol-
lowing with not little sympathy from
some republicans. But Uncle Joe was
too much for them. Re told the labor
element positively that if they wanted
somebody who would vote for class
legislation they should vote for some
body else. Their efforts to defeat him
have failed and he will be chosen as
speaker without much opposition.

Darkness Covered The Town

On Friday evening at about seven
O'Clock the town was left in darkness
in less time than you could say Jack
Robinson" The cause of it was the
breaking of dynamo at the electric
light works which scattered sparks
and wire around in very promiscu-
Gus manner until the engine was stop
ped. The moon happened to be on
duty and lighted the streets without
any cost, while Inside the good old
kerosene lamps were FURNISHED and
put into service. This would be prett
ty dark world sometimes were it no.
for John d. and his oil machine.
