A MID.WINTER TRIP
OUT TO CALIFORNIA
Messrs Taggart & Herndon Give An
Account OF Their Visit To The
Western Coast.

Thinking it may be of some interest
to the readers of the Republican we
give a short account of our trip to Cali
fornia. We left Audubon on the morn
ing of January II, and Omaha at 400
o'clock, going over the Union Pacific by
way of Grand Island, Cheyenne, and
Ogden which we reached at IL o'clock
the next morning, Cheyenne is busy
city kept up mostly by ranching and
mining, and the railroad shops From
there the ride through Wyoming shows
a rough mountainous region. At $3.50
on the morning of the third day we ar
rived at Ogden. Utah, division on the
road. and city of 10000 people 1t
seemed to be located close up against
the foothills of a mountain but the con-
ductor assured us it was thirty miles
away. We reached the Great Salt Lake
just as the sun made its appearance in
the east, making beautiful reflection
on the water. The distance across
over rock and trussell is about forty
miles. We then passed through por-
ton of Utah that one time in the distant
past had been a part of the great lake,
composed of sand and so salty that
nothing ever grows upon it, Our ride
nearly all day was in barren sections so
far as growing crops is concerned. We
passed through the johnson and JEFF
ferries fighting town of Reno at three in
the morning, but everything was quiet.
1t showed and rained while we passed
over the Sierra Nevada mountains under
a snow shed which was forty miles in
length and cost $4,000 per mile.
Leaving the snow covered mountains
we descended rapidly into the great Sac
ramento Valley where vegetation was
fresh and green and the lemons and
organges We're hanging on the trees
We arrived at Sacramento City at 100
o'clock on the fourth day from Audu-
bon. 1t has 10000 people and is located
near the mouth of the American river
on the Sacramento river which flows
down through the Sacramento Valley
More next week.

Murray Skipped Out.

Francis A. Murray, of the firm of
Murray & Casner, departed Tuesday
night of last week for parts unknown,
having collected all he could and leaving
his partner to pay the outstanding debts
He also borrowed his partners gold
watch and forgot to return it. He
jumped his board bill and left many
store debts, but the most contemplate
of all was the beating Of his wash
woman out of forty cents for which
justice should be melted out to him if
for nothing else. The people whom he
owes intend to have him brought back
here and punished. He passed as a
regular lady's man while here.

JAcOBsEN's SALOON BILL.

Representative Jacobsen's bill in favor
of not opening saloons until Z O'Clock in
the morning and closing them at s
o'clock in the evening has been given q
favorable report by the committee and
will probably pass both houses. In
speaking for the bill Mr.. Jacobsen said
that some people from his town go
twenty miles into the next county
where there are saloons and stay until
late at night With automobiles such
distance can be covered in very short
time Those people should stay at home
and attend to their own business. And
if the saloons closed earlier they would
return home sooner.

at this springs mayoral:y election In
Chicago. The new educational candi-
date for political honors is Professor
Charles Fl. Merriam OF the University
of Chicago.
Though he has not completed his first
term in the city council, Professor Mer-
RAM has already made his mark In
Chicago politics. He was the author
OF resolution providing for council
commission to investigate the city's ex-
penditures and ON its passage was
made chairman. The Merriam COM
mission. as 1t was called, unearthed
some evidences Of contract graft and
recommended relief.
As the direct primary system prevails
In Illinois the alderman-professor must
first secure the Republican nomination
In large field and then meet one or
more Democratic candidates In the
April election.

THE PRESIDENTS HOT PACKAGE.

The insurgents in Congress are just
now busy blowing their fingers oyer the
hot package handed them by President
Taft in his reciprocity treaty made with
Canada. And we think he presented it
at this time more for the purpose of
burning the fingers of his enemies than
with any hope of its adoption. The
insurgents, who are practically all from
the farming districts of the middle
west, have been yelping at his heels
ever since his Inauguration two years
ago. He has been the victim of their mis-
representation and denunciation. They
have condemned the Payne tariff law
in season and out of season and belittled
the administration in every possible
way. They have joined the democratic
chorus of tariff high prices and lower
cost of living and elected a democratic
house. The President takes notice The
Insurgents want lower cost of living,
cheaper butter, eggs and meat So he
presents the reciprocity agreement with
The Inter Ocean represents
the matter in striking cartoon in
which big Canadian steer, having one
horn labelled Vote for lower cost of
living and the other one Quit bowling
tariff high prices" appears before a
terrified insurgent and asks him which
horn of the dilemma he will take. Let
him vote for the agreement and he
strikes blow at the interests of his
farmer Constituents; and if he votes
against it he puts to shame his profess
sions in favor of revision of the tariff.
just now the insurgent is in mighty
serious trouble.

After A Carnegie Library Again.

The ladies of the Columbian Club
have revived the discussion of Carne-
gle library for Audubon. We think it
will be conceded that while Uncle
Andrew" continues to give them away,
our town should have one; and we
think there will be no doubt about our
town getting one provided the town
will vote the necessary support for the
next twenty years.

of Italy, is working hard to make the
match, and she has the support Of
those members of the royal family
who objected to the Elkins alliance.
Xenia is known as the princess who
Tilted a king, and Alexander Of Ser
via, who, with his queen, Draga, was
later murdered in his palace at Bel
grade, was the victim.
A prophecy caused this. Some years
ago the royal attention was direct
ed to an aged soothsayer who wan
dered about the mountains, but whose
reputation as a forecaster was known
throughout the nation. From him the
princess heard this prediction: ="
II see two royal crowns. One Is ia
tai and blood stained, the other leads
to happiness. Refuse the first crown
offered you, no matter what 1t may be,
because that crown will fall with
blood The second crown win lead to
happiness and power"
So the Princess Xenia, now thirty
years of age and beautiful, has refused
many matches that were not royal be-
cause she is awaiting the crown OF
happiness promised her.
