for the 4th of July celebration in Audi
bon, met Tuesday and selected the
Guthrie Center band consisting of "a
pieces, to furnish the music for that
great and glorious day which means so
much to alllovers of American freedom.
The band in Guthrie Center is one of
the best musical organizations in the
state of Iowa, and is often referred to as
the Sousa band of Iowa. 1t has won
many medals in contests of various
kinds and has gained wide reputation
in all parts of Iowa. The town of Au-
dubon is indeed fortunate to be able to
secure such a splendid band. The men
composing this organization are all per
feet gentlemen and musicians of high
order. They have been under the direct
leadership of Herr Won Shreeves for
many years. This famous bandmaster
for years was leader of the Ringing
Bros. famous band. He is wonderful
leader and the men under him have all
become stars in their line.
All the people in this section Of Iowa
will want to hear the big brass band in
Audubon July 4th. Two big concerts
will be given, one in the afternoon and
another one in the evening.

The Younger Shows have Gone.

fBob Younger and aggregation of shows
packed their buds Sunday and departed
for greener fields. They came here last
Monday and gave their exhibition un-
der the auspices of the Fire Department
and the Audubon Band. We don't be-
lieve the boys would have stood for the
shows if they had known in advance what
they were getting into. The rake off
for the home people was $3.50. Games
of chance and other gratis of question
able character were freely INDUCED in.
Friday evening one of the parties was
arrested for running games contrary to
law, but the following evening he was
conducting the same game under a differ
ent label There was nothing elevating or
amusing about the whole show. The
Mayor of the town ought to be critized for
allowing such aclass oflaw breakers to
light in town. They should have been
refused the privilege of exhibiting. Fort
uately for the home people, the shows
were not literally patronized.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM AT CHICAGO.
Republican National Convention Now in
Session-Taft Forces Leading.

The Republican National convention
is now in session at Chicago endea vor-
ing to nominate candidate for Presi-
dent Of the United States. The Taft
and Roosevelt forces are almost equally
divided. There is much confusion in
the convention hall, and it is with
much difficulty h a t the business
of the convention is proceeded with.
The first test of strength came Tues
day afternoon when the convention
sought to select temporary chairman
to preside over the deliberations of the
convention Gov McGovern, of Wis
consin was placed in nomination by
the Roosevelt forces, and Sen. Root, of
New York was placed in nomination by
the Taft forces. Speeches were made
on both sides occupying all the after
noon. 1t was not until late Tuesday
evening that vote on the chairman
ship was taken. The roll call of states
resulted in victory for the Taft forces
when Root was chosen the temporary
chairman by vote of 55s to 502.
Gov Hadley, of Missouri, is the floor
manager for the Roosevelt forces and
he at once made a motion to substitute
a list of 92 Roosevelt delegates for the
90 Taft delegates seated by the National
Committee. All day yesterday the
question was up for debate and it was
almost $50 last night before the vote on
the motion was taken. The result of
the roll call was the tabling of the Had
ley motion by a vote of 564 to $40. This
vote is practically the test of the
strength of the two warning factions.
The Taft people are confident that
their man will be nominated on the
first ballot. On the other hand the
Roosevelt people have not given up
hopes and word has been sent abroad
that if Roosevelt looses the nomination
he will bolt the convention.
The roll call on the committee on
credentials was taken just before adj
journment last night and it is practi-
cally agreed that Hemingway, of Ind,
will be made the chairman of this inn
portant committee.
The convention will reconvene this
morning at nine o'clock. 1t is not ex.
pected that a vote on the nomination
for the presidency will be taken until
Friday afternoon.
