A New Ironing Cabinet,

Mr.. Charles ID. Booten, of Audubon,
has just been notified by his attorney,
that the United States Patent Office has
formally allowed his application for
patent on an improvement in ironing
cabinets. Mr. Booten's invention con-
sists of cabinet frame designed to be
permanently placed against the wall
and so arranged that when the parts
are all folded up it will occupy only
four or five inches of space from the
wall The back of the cabinet is cover
ed with cloth to make it light and
cheap. Within the cabinet is an ironing
board and also q sleeve ironing board,
which parts are so arranged that they
may be readily and quickly moved to a
horizontal position as required for use.
The sleeve ironing board may he folded
up out of the way when the main iron
ing board is being used. .
There is also clothes drying rack
which may be unfolded from the cabi-
net and extended outwarlly in such a
manner as to support comparatively
large number of clothes. The rack is
conveniently accessible to the person
using the ironing board. There are also
a number of trays in which irons may
be placed and kept within the cabinet
so that the entire apparatus used by a
person ironing may be contained within
a small cabinet and be protected from
dust and dirt. Mr.. Booten has already
received considerable encouragement in
regard to his invention and it is believed
that the device will go into general use
in the near future and that the inventor
will realize handsomely from it.

GENTRY BROS. NEW SHOWS
Will Be Given in Audubon, on
SATURDAY., July Sixteenth.

A genuine treat is in store for those
who profess to have knowledge of who
is who in the show world when the
Gentry Bros All New Feature Shows
exhibit in Audubon, Saturday, July is
and erect their enormous tents. They
will find this wonderful moving city of
enchantment big factor to be reckoned
with in all future deductions and by
process of elimination undoubtedly
place them in the first ranking position
among the big ones in the tented field.
! From a trained animal show they have
become amany-featured gigantic amuse-
ment enSeI prise which breadth ofscope
and from the standpoint of originality of
conception, is without counterpart in
the world today.
In the first place there is a circus
equally as large without its auxiliary
attractions as any other show of SINH
liar character and with the advantage of
presenting new faces and new acts
that have never been seen before. The
circus performances are as complete
and perfect as brains, capital, ingenuity
and talent can make them. An hun
uTeu dTJlSIS Vi DOlu ScAcS anu WITH lil-
ternational regulations represent every
known class of arenic performers, and
each and every one is star in his or
her respective line. There are companies
and trOnpes of aerialists and acrobatS:
equestrians and equilibrists; leapers and
tumblerS, and clowns and contortionistS.
There are premiers and coryphees in
dancing advertisements and artistic en-
sembles: inspiring and beautiful tourna-
ments and thrilling races. A constant
quest for novelty has been prodigiously
fruitful of results, with the consequence
that there are presented more startling
so called feature performances than
have ever been seen before.
An interesting adjunct is the wonder
full trained beast exhibition which forms
an important part of this many featured
enterprise. Heretofore, with alluring
aids, this trained animal organization
has divided attention with the largest
travelling tented amusement enterprises
and indelibly impressed itself on the
public mind as the most remarkable eX-
hibitiOn of the character ever presented
There are startling new groups and
sensational surprises in these trained
animal performances, which have never
been equaled for daring and originality.
Besides these many European novelty
exhibitions and Oriental expositional
features that in themselves would com
pose several ordinary tented organiza-
tions, are presented for the delectatiOn
and amusement of this circus loving
public

DR.. MORLEY RETURNS HOME.
After Visiting a Dozen States in
The Great Northwest.

Rev. DR.. Morley reached home Sunday
evening from trip of two weeks which
he spent riding on a rail- out in the
great northwestern part of our country.
He was in Nebraska, Wyoming Idaho,
Washington, Oregon, California, Utah
and Nevada. And he really admits
that he saw the arena in which the big
fight occurred at Reno but it was day
or two after the fight occurred. DIR.
Morley had been out in that country be-
fore and is very much enthused over its
beauty and possibilities He stopped in
the Yakima Valley which is great
fruit country; and in the Hood River
Valley about 30 miles east of Portland
which is the noted apple country. One
firm in New York buys all they can
grow paying from So. 90 to $3. 80 bushel.
Hood River which is town of three
thousand people has University Club
of 1877 members, which is an indication
as to the people living there. The doctor
spent the Sabbath at Salem, the capital
of Oregon, with President Holman of the
Willamette University who used to be
at Indianola. He says that is u beauti-
full place for residence situated in that
fertile Valley. After a stop in San
Francisco he came home direct over the
Union Pacific and Northwestern.

The New Advocate Office.

The moving of a printshop is a diff
cult task and one always attended with
more or less danger to life, limb and
machinery. So we are glad to say that
the boys of the Advocate office got
through with the laborious job without
any accident whatever. And the Re-
publican joins with their many friends
in extending congratulations upon their
getting up in the world" into such
large and modern office which is located
Immediately south of the postoffice
They have plenty of room and GOO d
light which are essential to work and
comfort III Il printing office. The edi
torial and stockroom are at the south
end and the composing room in the mid
die and the press room and engine room
at the north end. We trust they may
live long and be happy and prosperous
in their new office and pleasant sur
roundings.

A New Republican Flag.

Did you notice the big Republican
flag that waved on the Fourth and for
two or three days thereafter? If so you
also noticed that it seems to have had
hard usage because it is becoming badly
frayed and torn. The party needs new
flag larger one and as fine one as
they make anywhere. We speak of this
to suggest new one. Why not make
it county flag and receive subscriptions
from all parts of the county. Let the
county comittee take this matter up and
it will be easy to raise the necessary
fund.

Caught MuSkrat In Jail.

One evening about week ago when
DR.. Brooks made q call at the Jail he
felt something run over his feet while
passing through the hall. He struck a

took it out to the river where it nat
urally belongs.

Civilizations Records.

The first civilizations which left be-
hind them clear records rose in that
hoary historic past which geological
.y Is part OF the immediate present
and which is but a spans length from
the present. even when compared only
with the length Of time that man has
lived on this planet These first civ
ilizatiOus We're those which rose In
Mesopotamia and the Nile valley some
six or eight thousand years ago.
As far as we can see. they were well
nigh independent centers Of cultural
development, and our knowledge is not
such az present as 10 enable US to
connect either with the early cultural
movements in southwestern Europe on
the one hand or in India on the other
or with that Chinese civilization which
has been so profoundly affected by In
dian influences.
The spread OF the European peoples
since the days Of Ferdinand the Cath
ole and Ivan the Terrible has been
across every sea and over every CONT
nent. In places the conquests have
been ethnlc-that Is, there has been
new wandering OF the peoples. and
new commemorative have sprung up
In which the people are entirely or
mainly OF European blood
This is what happened in the tenn
perate and subtropical regions of the
western hemisphere. in Australia, in
portions Of northern Asia and south
ern Africa. In other places the CON
quest has been purely political the
Europeans representing for the most
part merely a small caste OF soldiers
and administrators. as in most Of trop-
ical Asia and Africa and in much OF
tropical America. Finally here and
there instances occur where there has
been no conquest at all, but where an
alien people are profoundly and radi-
cally changed by the mere impact OF
western civilization.
Japsn's Wonderful Growth.
The most extraordinary instance OF
this. Of course. is Japan, for Japan's
growth and change during the last
half century have been In many ways
the most striking phenomenon Of all
history. Intensely proud Of her past
history. intensely loyal to certain of
her past traditions. she has yet with a
single effort wrenched herself free
from all hampering ancient ties and
with a bound has taken her place
among the leading civilized nations Of
mankind
