RAILROAD RUMBLINGS
People of Fiscus And Vicinity Aroused
In Favor of New Road

A delegation of representative far
mers who live about Fiscus called at
this office Tuesday afternoon to show
their interest in the new railroad and to
ask us to present the matter through
our paper. They are very enthusiastic
now in their activity to get the new
road built along the Fiscus route and
are willing to put their shoulders to the
wheel and push the project with all
their might. They are especially anxious
that Mr.. Daley, the solicitor, shall come
out there and let them show him what
can be done.
The Republican is very glad to see
that the people along this route are
becoming aroused to the necessity of
doing something.
This is surely the opportunity of their
lives to get good road through that
section and some of them see that to
lose out now would be an irreparable
loss and mistake on their part that
could not be corrected by any interest
or action hereafter.
The gentlemen who called were Hans
Hansen, III. A. Hansen, Kris Larsen,
Jorgen Hansen, Joe Nelson, Peter Jen-
sen; and the telephone gave us the
names Of Fred johnson, Kajie Kagiesen,
John Jensen, Alex Zinke, Harry Zinke,
Nels Hansen, Chris Knudsen.

THE PROSPECTS GOOD
For Extension of the Atlantic and
Northern Railway to Manning


III. S. Rattenborg. president of the
Atlantic, Northern and Southern Rail
way, of Atlantic; Martin Esbeck, vice
president, of Kimballton; A. H. Jorgen-
sen, vice-president, of Kimballton;C b.
Judd, chief engineer, of Clarinda and
NJ. c. Christensen, of Kimballton, u
stakeholder came mp TO Manning Tues
day in Mr.. Christensen automobile.
They informed the writer that they
would soon commence an active cam
paign on the north end of the proposed
road from Kimballton TO Manning and
will push matters as fast as possible.
They are now looking up o new route
by which, Mr.. Judd says, he thinks
there can be II saving of about ~, 800
per mile on part of the way at least.
They have for the past few months been
getting the southern extension from
Atlantic going and now that is assured
they will go after this end of the line.
The gentlemen are all very enthusiasts
tic over the matter and seem very conf
dent that Manning will have the road
in the near future. There is, however,
q considerable amount of stock to be
subscribed for before the work can go
on but the feeling seems to be right for
the road all along the line and there can
no doubt be, with little effort, several
thousand dollars more stock subscribed
for. We hope to see the road GO and
that soon, as Manning does need the
business from that part of the country
and it will surely help our town as well
as the farmers along the line of road.
You will hear from us little later

Death of Russell Mott

A message to the family of A. N.
Detwiler Saturday morning brought
news of the death of Russell Mott at
the home of his parents down at Maren-
go. Russell was the eldest child of Hon.
ID. G. Mott, the former editor of this
paper and young man of high char
acter He remained in, the Office a few
weeks after our coming and his conduct
during that time commanded our re-
spect and regard.
Russell took sick down in Oklahoma
about two years ago and has fingered
along since that time. Notwithstanding
everything was done that parental af-
lection could suggest or medical science
and physicians perform, he continued to
fail and for many months it has been a
struggle between life and death.
While the many friends here extend
sympathy to the bereaved family they
were glad to hear that Russell had been
relieved of his suffering after such a
long and severe illness.

THE AUDUBON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Fall Term Will Open on Monday
September The Sixth


Superintendent Harry p. Smith ar
rived in Audubon on Thursday of last
week and is busy getting the work in
hand so as to be ready for the opening
on Monday September sixth. Though
he pleads guilty to the charge of being
a young man and without long expe-
rience in the work of supervision he asks
nothing more than fair opportunity to
prove up his ability by efficient work in
our schools. Mr.. Smith is graduate of
the State University and has had sever
al years experience in the work of edu-
cation. Besides the supervision he will
teach Mathematics.
f. w. johnson, who will be principal
of the high school, has had two years
experience as instructor in the Iowa
City Academy since graduating from
the University. He will teach History
German and Physics
Miss Caroline Schlictt, who is also q
graduate of the University, has taught
in the grades in Iowa City and in the
high school at Marshalltown. She will
teach English.
Miss lisa Lighthall comes direct from
graduation at the University and with
out experience as teacher. Her sub
jects will be Latin and Algebra.
Miss Purdy was to return to her posi-
ton as instructor in Music but her in
juries from an automobile accident,
spoken of elsewhere, may make it neces-
sary to secure some one else to fill the
position.
The grades from. the high school down
will be taught by the Misses Mabel
Keith, Mary Davis, Ella Hurd, Patience
Elicit, Ethel Glass, Goldie Cozine, Marie
Wolf and Maude McAllister, Owing to
the resignation of Mrs. Lamoreaux there
is vacancy in the first grade which has
not been filed

UNION TEMPERANCE MEETING
Addressed By Rev. X. c. r. Chambers
At NJ. Il. Church Sunday Night

The meeting held as union service
Sunday evening, under the auspices of
the Audubon Anti-Saloon League, was
one of special interest to those who be-
lieve in the Punishment of the saloon
The ministers, Messrs Prather Naples
and Schlesselman. participated in the
opening exercises and the Methodist
choir furnished good music, The duet,
THY viii Be Done, !" sung by the
Misses Ella Smith and Bessie Haderer,
was heard by the audience with much
pleasure.
w, 9. Elliott, president of the league
for this county, made n brief talk intro
ducing the speaker. Mr.. Chambers fol-
lowed with pleasing and instructive
address. He said the Anti-Saloon
League is made up of the federated
! churches of America and he is but one
of the 500 workers in the cause. Like
the waves of the sea, there is tremen-
dous and accommodating force that is
surely pressing the saloon out of bust
ness, The time has long since passed
when work in the cause of temperance
is nothing but n sentiment aroused by
pity for those who suffer from the use
of Intoxicating liquors by themselves or
others, but it is becoming largely q
business proposition. Many railroad
and other corporations have ordered
that employees must refrain from drink
ing if they would retain their places.
AS u result large numbers of the men
have signed the pledge of total abstin-
ence and presented the lists to their
employers. A large shoe factory in the
east made the condition to the city
authorities where it was located that
the saloons must goNor the factory
would have to move. Men who insist
on drinking are the last to get u job and
the first to lose it.
The supreme court of the United
States says that from IS TO 80 per cent
of criminals are such because of the
saloon. Secretary Garrett of the Parole
Board of Iowa suggested IL all the
saloons in Iowa were closed one of our
penitentiaries could be closed. The
four counties of Polk, Pottawattamie,
Scott and Woodbury., with a population
of 300, 900 have 252 people in the peni
Tertiary. A number of other counties
with population of million and "A
half have 258 Greene county has no
saloons and but one man in the home at
Knoxville. Carroll county has mum
Der of saloons and l3 men at Knoxville.
Mr.. Chambers produced statistics to
prove that the old claim that prosper
ity follows the jig" is not true and that
many of our best and most prosperous
towns have no saloons. Mr. Chambers
is an entertaining speaker and u good
man for the work in which he Is en-
gagged.

GOOD AND SMITH

Cedar Rapids is the home of j. w.
Good, a progressive" who is represen-
tative in congress from the fifth district.
The Cedar Rapids Republican discusses
the action of the two men and concludes
that what is fair for one is fair for the
other and that if one deserves defeat for
working within party lines the other
shonld suffer defeat for the same reason
That paper says:
Some of the papers are saying that
since Walter /. Smith of the ninth dis
| trict did not vote as they would have
him vote he ought to be defeated for re-
| election They say he voted with Can
non. Is that crime? Mr. Good voted
for Cannon, but he voted to change the
rules. He also voted for the tariff bill
although he voted to revise some of the
rates as reported by the committees. So
far as we have heard~no one has ques-
toned his right to vote according to his
own best Judgment in the matter. Why
should not a congressman be left free To
act according to his own Judgment and
convictions, within the party lines,
| always?
| The papers that are saying, orpermit-
ting such things to he said about Mr.
Smith know that he is one of the ablest
and strongest men now in congress from
Iowa, if not the strongest. As reason
er and debater, we do not believe he has
an equal in congress, from Iowa, wheth-
er in the house or senate. He is not a
great orator but he is more, he is force
/ full speaker A state that can command
| the services of such a man ought to be
! glad to avail itself of his services. Con-
gresham Smith is not merely capable
| but he is honest He is man of the fin
est sense of integrity. He wouldn't VIC
late that integrity, not even to secure q
denomination and reelection.
If we are going to enter in Iowa on a
period and spirit of prescription, if men
are to be harried and harrassed and OPP
posed simply because they do not agree
with every other man in their districts,
then we might just as well fight it out
all along the line and turn the state
over to the democrats for period

PROF. REPAsS PASSES AWAY
His Death Occurred Friday Night at
Ell Reno, Oklahoma

After lingering illness of two years
or more Prof. d. p. Repass, a former
prominent resident of this county, died
on Friday, August 20, 1909, at the home
of Prof. F. p. Hooker in Ell Reno, Okla
homa. Several months ago, accompanied
by his wife and two sons, he went south
hoping the climate might be of some
benefit; but as the time wore away it
was found that nothing could prevent
his dissolution. So they started for home
hoping to reach it so that he might
spend his last hours among familiar
scenes and loving friends. They reached
Ell Reno on Wednesday and stopped to
rest few days at the home of his friend
Prof, Hooker with whom he had been a
co-laborer here for many years in the
educational work They were anxious
to continue the journey but the physi-
clan assured them that he was too weak
to undertake it and he gradually grew
weaker until death came to his relief.
Prof Repass had given most of his life
to the noble work of educating the young.
He was principal at Extra, then held a
similar position in Audubon for eight
years, filled the Office of superintendent
of schools in this county for eight years,
and for ten years had been principal of
the schools down at Dexter. During the
last year he was not able to do much
but his eldest son acted as substitute
in a very successful manner. Prof.
Repass was good scholar, a successful
educator and christian gentleman.
Mrs, Repass is a sister of Mrs. o. B.
Train, Mrs. George A. Foley, John Con,
way, of Audubon; w. III. Conway, OF
Menlo; and Robert Conway, of northern
Iowa. With her four sons, who are q
manly lot of boys, she mourns the loss
of noble husband and father The
body arrived at Dexter Sunday and was
laid away in the church yard there on
Tuesday.

Friday evening. The ladies were Mrs.
Marshall Jordan and Mrs j. d. Common
of Mount Pleasant, who with their hus-
bands were attending launch party on
the Mississippi river.
The launch, filled with sightseers,
caught fire by a premature explosion OF
fireworks and the women became alarmed
and jumped overheard against the pro
test and efforts of their husbands to pre-
vent it. Those who remained on the
launch escaped unframed.
The grandfather of the ladies was on
his way here when the accident occurred
and the message sent here was to recall
him at once.
