A Big Boost For Audubon.

The large increase and unprecedented
demand for first class job printing has
compelled The Republican management
to install new job printing press of q
size that will be adequate to the demands
Heretofore great deal of printing has
been sent out of town to be done in the
city offices. but with increased facilities
all this work can be done with neatness
by competent and efficient workmen at
the Republican Office. During the past
three months this office has been
flooded with orders for job printing and
the entire force has been compelled to
work until midnight for over q month
in order to get out the work.
The people of Audubon and vicinity
have given us their hearty support. We
are very grateful for the many kind
favors bestowed upon us and we will in
turn do everything in our power to
merit the confidence and esteem of our
patrons. The Republican office to-day
is in better shape to handle all classes
OF printing than at any previous time.
All we ask is share of the patronage.
Never before has the Office been in such
shape to print public sale bills, We
can print them for our farmer friends
while they wait. We will print them
for you at very moderate cost and
also print the sale in the Republican,
and by so doing you will reach more
people in Audubon county than you
have ever reached before. The Repub-
lican is newspaper that reaches the
masses. No other paper published in
this section of the country covers the
field so thoroughly asdoes The Audubon
Republican.

Clothing Catches On Fire.

Chas. E. Mclaughlin, aged 26 years,
son of Frank X. Mclaughlin, living
five miles west of Gray, was severely
burned about the hands and body last
Saturday morning while starting fire
in the cook stove. Charles and his
brother are patching it this fall and
while his brother was out doing the
chores, Charles was getting breakfast
The fire in the cook stove was not max
ing very good progress and the coal oil
can was resorted to, but instead of
getting the coal oil can Charles got
hold OF the gasoline can. AS soon as
the gasoline was poured in the stove,
an explosion took place. The flames at
once spread all over the kitchen setting
fire to the wall paper. Mr.. Mclaughlin s
saturated with gasoline and
the flames were keeping him busy as a
trogen. He had presence of mind
enough to put on an overcoat, and in
this manner smothered out the flames,
but not until he had been severely burn
ed. His face and hands suffered the
most.

CHASES CHUM AWAY
WITH BUTCHER KNIFE
Resents Husbands Insult And Files
Petition For Divorce--No Family
Gathering For Christmas.

Bernard Daniels forgot the love vows
he had made in Atlantic, Iowa, and
jocularly told his -year-old wife, Nellie.
to love his chum as she would love her
husband
The girl, seeing no humor in it, drove
the chum away with butcher knife
and sought police aid. Crying in court,
she told the judge her wedding day had
been the "happiest day of her life /"
But loves sweet dream had broken like
a bubble, and pretty Nellie left the
husband with whom she had been so
happy, but whose insult she never
could forgive.
The husband was sent to the munich
pal farm at Kansas City where the young
couple were living.
Meanwhile, here in Iowa, where her
father-in-law was staying with her
mother and stepfather, the table had
been spread on Thanksgiving day for
the home coming of the young couple
from Kansas City, the youthful parents
of little 2-year-old boy, who made the
place lively and happy. But instead of
the homecoming on Thanksgiving day,
word came that the husband had been
jailed the day before, and that the young
persons were forever estranged.
The old folks figured that the spirit of
Christmas might undo their hapless
Thanksgiving. So Reuben Daniels of
Atlantic borrowed 800 and went on his
mission of reconciliation.
When he found that the welfare board
would not parole his son, the old man
drove Saturday TO the municipal farm,
where he met with scant courtesy, but
where after three honrs he was allowed
to get hissson's freedom by paying the
800 or unserved fine
When the old man came back to Kan
sas City with his son and sought to find
the young wife, he learned that while
he was securing his sons release the
young woman had filed q divorce suit
in the circuit court
And message from the wife shatter-
ed the Atlantic Christmas plans. Mrs.
Nellie Daniels would keep an appoint
ment to meet her husband, but it would
be with deputy sheriff, with the di-
vorce summons.

Spouse did notcome To verify what
the silence was whispering, Mr.. Nor
Jensen peered into the room. Lo! the
form upon the bed was still. The
familiar face was white and cold. He
was gone. There was the deserted
earthly home. He had boarded silent
ship that had passed in the night, and
was far, far away from this storm
beaten shore on his way to meet his
dear departed wife in the sunny beyond.
DIR. Rosenbladt of Audubon was called
and found the cause of death to be
heart failure. Coroner Harmon was
called but no inquest was deemed
necessary.
The deceased was born i'm Denmark,
February Is. 1856, being So years and
10 months old. Mr.. Christensen came
to this country in the year 1888 but re-
turned to Denmark year and a half
later. He was married in Denmark
in 1885 to Miss Marie Sorensen.
Some years later they came to America.
Mrs. Christensen died in Atlantic,
Iowa, in 1908. To this happy union were
born eleven children, all of whom are

mother in 1903 they have scattered

Doesn't Like Method.

President r. ]. Buechly of w. c..
Peacock q Co., Ltd, of Honolulu
Hawaii, deplores the Iowa law which
gives one, after attaching his signature
to consent petition the right to change
his mind and take il off.
The Territorial Liquor Law of
Hawaii, says Mr.. Buechly, will not
permit one to revoke his signature from
petition for consent to sell liquors.
In other matters man cannot strike
his name from paper after he has once
signed it. The Hawaii system seems
to be common sense solution of the
question, and should be commended to
some of the state legislatures.
Mr.. Buechly is opposed to the petit
ton method and believes the people
should decide by vote whether the
liquor traffic is to exist in their com.
munity.
