Automobile Turns Turtle.

Last Thursday afternoon an auto
party composed of M. f. Kerwin, j. E.
Kerwin, L. j. Kerwin, ID. j. Kerwin
and James Murphy, members of the
X of c.. started for Carroll to assist in
celebrating Columbus Day. The party
was in Mike Kerwin's new Mitchell
car and it was driven by his son, Thomas.
When they reached the Il. B. Kerwin
bridge two miles north of Audubon
they found post had been set in hole
in the bridge as danger signal. This
the driver sought to miss and in doing
so ran into the bridge bannister which
was broken off by the sudden compact
The car ran off the bridge into the
ditch. The occupants were dumped
into the water twenty feet below but
fortunately were pitched far enough
ahead so as not to be caught beneath
the machine which turned completely
over. None of the occupants were
seriously injured. Jas. Murphy was
somewhat bruised and j. E. Kerwin
was stunned by the fall so that
he was rendered unconscious. Tom
Kerwin plunged headforemost into the
mud and water and went in up to his
shoulders. He would have suffocated
but for the timely assistance of the
other members of the party who had
not been disabled. j. K. Kerwin, in
dazed condition, was brought home by
AL Hurd in the mail wagon, and when
he reached home he couldn't tell how
he'd got there. The damage to the
will amount to about 5000.

Why Not Make It Unanimous.

Judge Green of Audubon, Congress
man from this Ninth district, was in
Guthrie Center last Thursday, calling
on the people. He had expected to at
tend the fair that day and meet the PEG
pie from all over the county and was
greatly disappointed when the elements
put an end to the fair and to the coming
of the people. He stated that he felt
from his short experience in Washing
ton, that he would enjoy the privilege
of representing this district in Congress
and hoped that his denomination and
election would result in harmonious ac-
ton and be satisfactory to the republi-
cans of the district. So far as we are
able to learn the services of Judge Green
are eminently satisfactory to the
bulk of the republicans of the district
and there is no disposition by any one
to oppose him in the primary. II is rec.
ognized that he is strong among the
voters of his judicial district and Guth-
RE and Adair have no reason to with
bold their support.

Special Halloween Feature.

Each successive year sees an increas-
ing observance of Hallowe en- "a holiday
which rivals any on the calendar as an
occasion for pranks and pastimes. The
growing disposition to devote more at
tention to the celebration of Halloween
is not strange, for the occasion with its
quaint customs has much to commend
it as a break in the routine of the year
For one thing, this fateful day of myrth
and mystery is the first of the autumn
and winter holidays, and yet more
significant, it is for the young folks the
first break in the school year. Withal,
its festivities are for the most part re-
served for the period after nightfall, so
that even the individuals who are oc-
cupied during the day may participate
In anticipation of this great day, the
Republican has had special article
prepared and featured with half tone
cuts. 1t will be found ON page six of
this weeks issue. 1t will be of much
interest to all. We have the exclusive
use of this story in this section of Iowa.
Our readers will from time to time be
favored with a number of special articles
on special occasions.

WIDELY KNOWN
MERCHANT SUCCUMBS
Served Audubon County In Capacity
OF Clerk--End Came Suddenly
--Remains Taken To Illinois.

The death of Joseph T. Garnett, as
chronicled in last weeks issue of the Re-
publican, removes from our midst man
who was universally liked. Last week
we were unable to secure full particu-
lars concerning his life, in time for pub
LEGATION. The funeral services were
conducted last Thursday afternoon by
Rev. j. Fl. Freedline, pastor of the NJ.
E. church. at the home of his son-in-
law, f. w. Smith. The mortal remains
of Mr.. Garnett were shipped to Port

1857 in Rock Island county Illinois, and
departed this life at the home of Mr.

day Oct. 10, 1911, aged So years and 81
days. In 1879 he was united in marriage
with Rose G. Mulhollen, to which union
was born Mrs. Bessie Smith. On Janu-
airy 30, 1889 he was bereft of his COM
panion. March IS, 1889 he was married
10 Emma Mulhollen, and to this union

LA TOILETTE IS
PLACED in THE RACE
Wisconsin Senator Favored for the
Presidency at Chicago Meeting--
Will Oppose Taft.

Chicago, October 16.-Two hundred
progressive republicans in their first con-
ference today endorsed the candidacy of
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin for
president and declared in favor of the
direct primary as a means of expression
of a presidential choice. The endorse
ment came in the shape of resolutions
framed in part by Former Secretary of
the Interior James r. Garfield, who. it
was held by. the delegates, appeared as
expressing the views of Theodore Roose-
welt and who it was feared would not
consent to declaration in favor of any
individual. The resolutions followed a
day of La Toilette enthusiasm, in which
his name was cheered repeatedly as it
was mentioned by dozen speakers.
Contrary to expectations. the confer
ence was concluded in one day. Most
of the delegates left the city and the
progressive program outlined for tomor-
row will be devoted to the support of
state and local candidates and condi-
tions. The resolutions were framed by
subcommittee. of five from committee
of thirteen and revised by former Secre-
tary Garfield and Congressman Irwin l..
Lenroot of Wisconsin.

WAS SOLDIER in
THE GERMAN ARMY
Emlgrated To America In The Sixties
--Lived In Audubon Since The
Early Eighties.

Peter Siemsen, one of the good old
respected citizens of Audubon has been
called to his home above. He has lived
life of industry and thrift, and by
reason of his steady habits he lived
more than ten years over and above tbs
three score years and ten allotted to
man. But of recent years his health be-
gan, to fail him. He was afflicted with
cancer and on three different occasions
went to a sanitarium for treatment,
but the ravages of the disease could not
be overcome His unusual vitality kept
him from taking his bed and it was
not until the lpst few days that he was
compelled to do so.
The story of his life has been an in
teresting one. He was born in Ger
many April, 5, 1881 and died Oct. 10,
1911, aged 80 years. six months and
five days. At the tender age of nine
teen he was a soldier in the army in
the war between Germany and Den
mark. In 1861 he was married to Miss
Caroline Jergens and to this union six
children were born, three sons and three
daughters all of whom are living. In
1866 he and his family left the Water
land" for America, locating at Daven-
port, Iowa, where he worked at the car
penter trade. In the year 1882 he came
farther west and located in Audubon
county on farm west of town, remain
ing there until 1900 when he moved
north of town. Here he remained until six
years ago when he came to the town of
Audubon to remain the balance of his
life time. Here he and his good wife
enjoyed all the comforts of life at their
command, and here in the eventide of
life they have been separated. Their
companionship has come to an end, but
the years that have passed are so full
of pleasant memories that his bereaved
wife will find much to console her in
the long hours that she will find lone
some.
The funeral services were held Friday
afternoon at l 90 o'clock from the Ger
man Lutheran church, Rev. Braun the
local pastor preaching the services in
both German and English. A choir
from Atlantic sang several hymns. The
following pallbearers carried the re-
mains to its final resting place in Maple
Grove cemetery: Conrad Burkhardt,
Charley Farnham, VIM. Sucker, Joseph
Blohm. VIM. Kraul and Sam Wilson.
A large concorse of friends followed the
remains to the cemetery The bereaved
wife and children have our sympathy
in this their sad hour of trouble.
