A Hospital Needed in Audubon.

The large numebr of patients who
have recently been taken from Audu-
bon to various hospitals elsewhere
leads one to believe that such an in
stitution in this city would be a pay
ing proposition. To take a patient
to hospital at distance often times
incurrs unnecessary and heavy ex-
pense which could be avoided if a
hospital was right here in our midst.
Audubon has a number of physicians
and surgeons who are second to none
in the state and We have confidence
enough in their ability TO believe that
they could make a hospital pay a
handsome profit. Audubon is we'll
located and it would command a pat
ronage from a large scope of terri
tory. We would like to see the doc
tors get together and maintain a
hospital, under a competent corps of
nurses where all patients could be
taken and given treatment.

Judge Fines His Wife.

Judge |. Beeman, one of the police
magistrates of Sterling, Illinois, fined
his wife S25 a few days ago for con-
tempt of court and ordered the bailiff
TO lock her up if the fine was not paid
within one hour. Mrs. Beeman came
across. The Judge was holding court,
Mrs. Beeman entered the court room
and seated herself near the bar to-wait
for the Judge, who had promised to
go shopping with her A young man
of prepossessing appearance. was be-
fore the bar charged with disorderly
conduct. After hurrying through the
evidence the judge fined him $40 and
costs. Not having the money he was,
ordered locked up. THAT is an out
rage!" declared Mrs. Beeman. sill
ence!" Numbered the court. Mrs.
Beeman however refused to be silent.
Judge Beeman was exasperated. He
furiously raped for order and told
Mrs. Beeman to keep quiet under
threats of a contempt fine. With a
woman's liking 10 have the last word
she continued her argument with her
husband until the courtroom was in
uproar. In desperation the Judge
imposed fine of S25 for contempt.
Mrs. Beeman dared him to collect it.
Angered, the judge instructed the
bailiff to take Mrs. Beeman in charge
and to lock her up If the fine was not
paid within one hour Mrs. Beeman
was led from the courtroom sobbing
Historically. She finally realized the
situation and drew on her private ac-
count for the amount of the fine and
was released by the bailiff. Later the
judge stated that he had imposed the
fine feeling that this was the only
thing he could do if the dignity of his
court was to be maintained. Mrs.
Beeman is penitent, and has promised
not TO interfere in her husbands
legal affairs again. "Buttin in" gets
one nothing only trouble. Hurrah for
Judge Beeman But what happened
to Judge Beeman when his wife got
him alone in the sanctuary of the
Beeman home, curious public will

Masons Give Big Banquet.

The Blue Lodge and Royal Arch
Masons gave one of those delightful
banquets, for which they have become
famous, last Friday evening. One
hundred and fifty. including the Masons
and their wives gathered at the lodge
room at $50, and in body marched to
the Park Hotel where a four course
dinner was served in a most pleasing
and happy manner, The dining room
was neatly decorated and the tables
arranged for the occasion.
Large boquets of cut flowers were on
each of the three tables, and pink and
white carnations were at each plate.
Places were laid for $50 guests.
After spending two hours at the fes.
tive board, the party went to the lodge
room where musical program was
given. Those who participated were
Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Flo Freeman, Miss
Burger and a male quartet composed
of J. w. Landrum, Prof Smith, Frank
Sampson and H. J. Hoogenakker. The
musical numbers were greatly appre-
ciated and each number brought forth a
hearty applause.
II was indeed delightful occasion
and the committees in charge of the
arrangements are to be complimented
for the excellent manner in which it
was carried on to its final conclusion.
The Masonic order in Audubon is one
of the livliest institutions of its kind to
be found anywhere They are wide
awake, and peace and harmony prevails
within the confines of their temple.

Snow Melting Fast.

The past few days the snow has
been melting rapidly and all streams
are bank full. Ice in Blue Grass
creek started to raise havoc last night
r,hen it broke of some of the piling
and bridge timbers of the bridge west
of the electric light plant. The water
has made the roads very muddy but
the bright sunshine of the past two
days has started to dry the roads in
many places. The snow drifts in the
country, many of whom are ten feet
high, will furnish moisture for sever
al weeks to come. We will live in
hopes that the snow storm predicted
for tomorrow will take the same route
the one last Sunday took, when Kan

In later years dairying has developed
into one of the best paying departments
of farming. with the promise that
through the use of better methods and
improved appliances it will become the
leader as money maker. The issue
of The Iowa Homestead of March %,
will contain many instructive articles on
all branches of dairying that should be
read by every farmer. They are written
by experts. One of the strongest fea-
lures is the exhaustive treatment of the
silo queston-the silo, silage crops put.
ting up silage, the profit of feeding
silage, and the saving of forage crops
which it effects. The Iowa Homestead
and the Audubon Republican may both
be secure at the very low price of 81 90
per year. Leave subscritions at this

Ceronak VS. Ceronak.

The above case was tried in the court
of a. H. Edwards, Justice of the Peace
on last Monday and presented mum
Der of interesting angles.
1t seems that Frank Ceronak defend
ant, owns an eighty north west of town
and he hired his brother, Mike Ceronak,
plaintiff, to operate the place from Mar.
l, 1911 to Mar. 1, 1912. At the time
the agreement was entered into Mike
was living at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and
about New Year, 1911, with his family
moved to Audubon and stayed here un-
Mar 1st
Mike claims that Frank agreed to pay
him $50. per month for seven months
and S25. per month for five months, he,
Frank was also to have garden space, a
hog for meat, milk, one third of the
eggs and one third of the increase of
the chickens Frank denied that this
was the contract, but alleged that he
was to pay but S25. per month for the
year, was to furnish a COW, one third
of the eggs and some garden space.
The case was tried before a jury con-
sisting of Al. Hurd, w. H. Bolton, p.
l. Carter, Yves Jay, jerks Moore and
Amos Fancher
Considerable, testimony was intro
duced and most of it was in hopeless
coufiict Mike sued for $S1. as being
the balance due, and Frank counter
claimed for the sum of $780, most of
which was for board which Frank
claimed of Mike and family while the
latter was staying with Mikes parents.
The jury after short deliPeration re-
turned verdict for Mike in the sum of
$40. Mantz & White appeared for the
plaintiff and j. NJ. Graham represented
the defendent. 1t is quite likely that
the case will find its way to the Dis
trict Court.

Just An Every Day Citizen.

The other day in a store saw big
double-fisted man and his little wife
looking over some goods, says the viii
lage deacon. She found what she
wanted, but said, al don't believe We
can AFFORD it" yes we can" replied
the big fellow tenderly, .We can afr
ford anything you want You helped
make this money and you are going to
enjoy all you want of it just as long as
il lasts" The woman smiled and her
face lit up--and she bought what she
wanted There is a home in which
the hearthstone will always be found
aglow. The man doesn't expect the
woman to carry all the fagots to keep
the fire burning. She knows he has
other work to do and willingly carries
her share. That man isn't the great
est financial success in the world he is
not the leader in society nor in civic
righteousness; he does not pose as
pillar of sanctity in the church, nor is
he ever found making the blessed Sab
bath day of levity. He is plain
plug citizen who doesn't grandstand.
There are lots OF thing he doen't un-
derstand. But when | saw him tote
fair with the partner of his joys and
sorrows, said 70 myself: He has one
big and shining gem in his crown any
way. That's more than some of the
brass collars have.
