The Electric Lighting Proposition.

Messrs Tramp& Cornelius, of Creston,
the gentlemen interested in the electric
lighting proposition in Audubon were
in the city the fore part of the week
and met with the city council Monday
afternoon. If these gentlemen do any
thing at all in Audubon they will do
something that will put Audubon in a
class all by herself. Representatives
have been sent to confer with E. J..
Freeman who owns the present plant,
but we were unable to learn what pro.
positions were made as to the purchas-
ing of the old plant. If the new coin
pany comes they propose to furnish a
twenty-four hour service and light the
city streets all night with arc lights for
only tritfie more money than is being
paid at the present time for midnight
service. We hope the new company
can make arrangements with Mr.. Free
man for the old plant.
Mr.. Tramp is a son of our townsman,
Chas. Tramp, and lived here for many
wears. He is q hustler, and everyone
in Audubon has confidence in whatever
q man by the name of Tramp is con-
nected with, for they are all pushers
and make great success of whatever
they decide to do. Mr.. Tramp has
made great success at Creston and
the company ne is connected with is
financially able to handle any kind of a
proposition.

Audubon Entitled to Better Service.

One of the most provoking institu-
tions in town is a telephone system
without service. Here of late the ser
vice rendered to the patrons of Audi.
bon and the rural lines has been abom-
Unable. 1t takes five minutes to get
central and then you are often met with
the pleasant assurance that the line is
busy" We know that the service is
not giving satisfaction. At the meet
ing of the city council Monday evening
the matter was discussed and the city
attorney was instructued to investigate
into the matter The Republican is not
attributing the poor service to those
now in the employ of the company. The
present force is an efficient one and the
girls, everyone of them, are doing their
best. The trouble is with the owners
for not providing enough help to take
care of the business. The girls at the
switchboard work their heads off, but
they cannot give the satisfaction that
the business demands. We are here to
help the hello girls secure more help.
They ought not be critized for being
unable to give prompt service under the
present conditions. Lets go after the
owners The city council did the right
thing when they instructed the city at.
torney to see if we could not get better
service. Ifthe present company cannot
give us better service, revoke their
franchise and give it to some other con.
Germ that will look after the business.

Pope Lowers Bars Of CathOlrc Church.

Protestants wishing to marry Catho-
lies need no longer sign an agreement
to rear the children resulting from the
marriage in the Roman Catholic faith.
Neither will they be obliged to pledge
themselves to refrain from interfering
with the Catholic consort performance
of religious duties.
The change has been brought about by
the repeal by Pope Plus of that portion
of the degree Ne Temere, - according
to The Acta, the official organ of the
Vatican. The repeal becomes effective
at once.
Ne Temere" was a degree issued by
Pope Plus himself at Easter, 1908. 1t
obliged every protestant wishing to
marry a member of the Catholic faith to
sign an ante-nuptial promise that he or
she would refrain from interfering with
the Catholic in the exercise of his or her
religious duties.

The Audubon County Fair.

The Audubon county fair will be the
next thing in order to command the at
tention of the good people of this section
of the country. The fair this year will
be held Sept. 1920 and from present
indications it will be one of the most
successful ever held.
Audubon has a great reputation all
over Iowa as one of the bost county
fair towns in the state. She will see to
it that her reputation this year will be
maintained. The farmers and town
people ought to make special effort
this year to make the exhibition of 1912
eclipse all former efforts. Lets all be
boosters and take advantage of the OPP
portunities that lie before us.

Harlan Mayor is Re.appointed.

Harlan, Ia, Aug. Following his
resignation recently in the face of
threats of removal proceedings under
the Cosson law, the city council Mon
day night expressed their confidence in
him by re-electing Mayor Baughn to the
office. Not only was the mayor re.
elected but it was decided to begin
suit in court against former city officials
in connection with the college addition
transactions. The nature of the suit is not
yet fully known, but it is known that
firm of Council Bluffs attorneys have
been retained and that the papers are
being drawn up.
Mayor Baughn and his friends claim
that he was the victim of a conspiracy
or plan to place him under the ban of
the Cosson law and that it was the out
growth of the fractional fight that has
been in progress here. Mayor Baughn
himself declares he was doped and while
not denying that he made q scene, says
he had been rendered unaccountable.
The council took the position that he had
been elected on clear cut issue of re-
form in the methods Of conducting the
city business and held the matter should
be fought out. Mayor Baughn put the
matter up to the city council, declaring
that there must be no turning back if
he was to continue in office. ~
In the meantime the plans of the op-
ponents of the mayor and his friends
are not known. 1t is said by some that
his resignation and reelection would
make it impossible to prosecute him I'M
der the Cosson law, even if the plea of
conspiracy was not urged

Haals Returns From Trip to Denmark.

J. ]. Haals and family, who have
been away from Audubon since the
Goth of last May, on visit to their par
ents in Denmark, returned home Mon
day. They have had a pleasant visit,
but their pleasure was somewhat inter
rupted by the actions of Ed. Crow who
was left here in charge of his shop.
They came home via Liverpool and en-
joyed seeing the sights enroute. Mr..
Haals was seasick a great deal of the
time and this of course interfered with
their pleasure while on the steamship.
Mr.. Haals and wife are glad to be back
in America and especially glad to get
back to Audubon.

Recent victories Of the govern

huahua lead to the general belief
the worst is now over and order
will soon he rcstaLlishod in that
country. Hundreds of millions Of
American capital has been invested
in the mining and other industric.
Of that country which has been ia
jcpor,ly as also the lives OF thou
sands of Americans been impcri He'd
during the recent troubles there.
Old Mexico is country Of almost
unbountled resources which were
gradually becoming known and de-
vcloped by foreign capital but all
this will amount to nothing unless
the stability of the government ia
and put upon a sound
basis whereby foreign labor and
capital will be fully protected.

that the most Of our city residents
have taken the initiative in clean

gives until the fifteenth to have all

their premises, nearly everybody
had cleaned up everything by thc
tenth which was last Monday. Many
OF our thrifty citizens are repaint-

Of over fifteen thousand tons per

upon which the are three workable
veins of coal but it will require
twenty years production of one hun

providing you have big veins of
high grade coal, railway transpor-
tation and a ready markcts for the
