The Weber Family.

The Weber family consists of w. w,
Weber, the father, and the children,
Byron, Grace, Carrie, Laura, Ned, and
Ralph. They are all ON the road except
the mother and Ralph. He has been
with them, for a number of years before,
but is now finishing his school in Chi
cago, and the mother is taking care of
the home at 2f55 Burling St., which is
their permanent home and address. This
is the family that did the tumbling at
the County Fair which elected so much
favorable comment. They are family
of lady and gentlemen artists. They
carry a tent, do their own cooking, and
live as a family and am sure that to see
their home life would be as pleasant,
as to see their performance, which in
the writers opinion is one of the very
best that has ever visited the community;
and too much praise cannot be given
the fair management for securing such
an attraction, as it was certainly one of
the incest and cleanest entertainments
OF the kind that it has been my pleasure
to see
They are not followers, but leaders
in their line. Their acts are new, novel,
entertaining and artistic to the highest
degree and are on the road for work
and not for pleasure and joy-riding.
They are on the road about nine months
in the year, but are at home during the
months of June, July and August, and
the father says that this is about the
hardest three months in the year,
as it means at least, three hours a day,
hard practice, preparing for the fall and
winter tour. But wherever they may
go. our wish is for their success, and
will hope that we may have the plea
sure of seeing them again sometime in
the future 50

Note About The Weather.

The weather this summer has GER
tainly beaten the Oldest settler. 1t has
been very warm but not more so than
some other years. 1t has been very dry
and we think more continuously so
than any summer on record. As an
evidence of this statement we cite the
fact that we have not had the lawn at
our house moved since the day before
Decoration Day and it doesn't need it
yet. All through June, July, August
and September, the months when lawns
need cutting two or three times month
there hasn't been rain enough to require
1T once in the whole four months. We
wrote the above note yesterday. We
are glad to say that last night brought
us a fine thunder shower, the fall of
rain being ! inches.

thoroughly enjoyed by all present, and
the specialties were the best of the week
which is saying good deal, as the
specialties given by Clint and Bessie
Robbins, Irene Spooner and Charles
Colville all week We're of the best and
well worth the price of admission.
Saturday night the company produced
The Man OF Her Choice" which was
also received by large audience and
each character being very strong PLAYED
his part to perfection. The specialties
for that night We're very good and es-
pecialty the wax doll and rag doll
specially given by Clint and Bessie
Robbins was uproariously received.
The music by the pianist and violinist
throughout the week was always en-
PERTAINING as both ladies are experts in
their line. The company have won
their way to the hearts of theatre going
people of Audubon and will always be
welcome with their new and first-class
plays. They departed Sunday noon for
Nicola where they play a recall engage
ment Sunday night having PLAYED there
the previous Sunday on their way to

The President In iowa To. day.

Iowa has the honor today of enter
tanning William Howard Taft, President
of the United States. He arrived at
Council Bluffs early this morning, made
an address to the people assembled at the
Illinois Central Station and then left
for Fort Dodge stopping at Denison for
a short address. From Fort Dodge he
goes to Waterloo. Tomorrow morning
he will breakfast at Des Moines and
speak in the Coliseum and go thence to
Ottumwa. Notwithstanding the howl
made by lot of designing politicians
whose object has been to either domi-
nate or damn the party, President
Taft is just as big and broad in mind
and heart as he is large in body He is
great statesman instead of smooth
politician. Look for his Des Des Moines
speech in the next issue of the Repub-
lican.
