Six Year Single Presidential Term.

Everyone was surprised-even the
Senate, when that body passed the res
olution calling for a constitutional
amendment providing single term of
six years for the Office of President.
The measure WILT is predicted, pass
House. The victory belongs to Senator
Cummins more that anyone else. His
argument was that 1.-The President
should be taken out of the maelstrom
of politics. and if his program is car
ried through perhaps his wish will be
gratified, An amendment by Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, throwing the
cloak over Colonel Roosevelt by provid-
ing that the resolution should apply
to persons hereafter elected to the Presi-
dency," was defeated. There were
many surprises in the vote. Among
those voting for the measure were Sen
ators Ashurst, Brown, Catron, Cham
berlain, Clark of Wyoming, Clark of Ar
kansas, Gamble, Guggenheim, Hitch
cock, Nelson; Owen, Smith of Arizona,
and Smoot, while among those voting
against were Senators Borah, Bourne,
Bristow, Clapp, Curtis Dixon, Jones,
Kenyon, LaFollette, Poindexter, Step
henson and Townsend. Thus it may
be seen that the old saying that poll
tics makes strange bedfellows" is ver-
flied by the mixup among the leaders.
Should the resolution pass the House it
will then have to be approved by the
different state legislatures before COM
ing operative. There are already other
constitutional amendments in this pro-
cess, including that providing for
direct election of Senators.

kinds hands ministered to his very
needs until the end came. On April

Are Doing an Extensive Business.

w. w. Weston & Son report the sale
of their 7-year old Clydesdale stallion,
Prince Scotstown," to Bert Renshaw.
This horse has made for himself wide
reputation as a sire of very classy
horses, having demonstrated this fact
by the sale Of his get at the various
public sales throughout the country.
His weight is over 1000 pounds and is a
most flashy mover for an animal of his
weight. Mr.. Renshaw has reason to
feel proud of his new possession. The
fact that this horse goes to neighbor,
is strong evidence of his popularity as a
sire, and also the fact that of four
stations recently sold, three have re-
NAMED in the immediate neighborhood,
is convincing evidence that Weston
q Son are putting before the public a
class of horses that satisfy.

DIED AT THE HOSPITAL LAST NIGHT.
Peter Petersen, The Young Man Who
Was Severely Burned a Week Ago
Succumbs to Injury.

Peter Petersen, the young man who
was seriously burned at the fire that
destroyed A. c. Harmon's furniture
store week ago last Monday morning,
died at the Atlantic hospital last night
at about eleven o'clock. His life has
hung by a slender thread ever since the
accident, but everyone in Audubon
hoped he would be able to overcome
the destruction the flames had made to
his body. Peter made gallant fight,
but the poor boys system could not
stand the poison the burned flesh in
iected into his very life blood. He
seemed little better yesterday after
noon, but at five o'clock change for
the worse came.
At seven o'clock last evening the
nurse at the hospital telephoned friends
in this city that Peter was sinking fast
and if they cared to see him alive, they
had better came at once An auto load
left here at eight o'clock and reached
Mr. Petersen an hour before he died.
The deceased was born June 1855 in
Bindslev pr Sindal; Denmark where he
leaves father, mother, two sisters and
five brothers. He came to America in
1909, and after working in various parts
came to Audubon last May when he
commenced work in the brick yard.
He later secured position with the
Audubon Hardware Co., and from there
went to the employ of A. G. Harmon.
He was an industrious young man of
steady habits and splendid character.
He has no relatives in this country, but
leaves an army of friends who did every
thing within power of human hands to
alleviate his suffering. Shortly after
the accident occurred, Rev. J. p.
Christensen wrote his parents of his
condition. Last night cablegram was
sent them notifying them of his death.
His remains were shipped to Audubon
this morning. Unless his father sends a
cablegram tn ship his body to Denmark,
he will be buried here. Arrangements
have been made to hold the funeral
Sunday afternoon at 2:3O, at the Danish
Lutheran church and will be conducted
by the pastor, Rev. j. P. Christensen.

The Lincoln Memorial.

There has been a lot of controversy
about the National Capital regarding
the Lincoln Memorial, but it has been
decided to erect great structure to
cost two million dollars. A small
group of Congressman attacted the
memorial plan, and wanted to sub
stitute Lincoln Highway" between
Washington and Gettysburg. Old
General Sherwood of Ohio. veteran
of the civil war, who can holler louder
than most any other Member of Cong
ress, derided the memorial idea, de-
claring that it was un-American mas
much as it betrays the influence of
Greek and Roman art. Mr. Borland of
Missouri, was also one of the leaders in
the fight to substitute the highway
plan, declaring that the memorial was
not useful. Representative Cooper of
Wisconsin, threw hot shot into the
critics of the architectural style, say
ing that he supposed the opposing
gentlemen would have objected to the
erection of the Washington monu-
ment because George Washington was
not an Egyption, and therefore could
not have an obelisk erected to his
memory. He had no patience with the
objections raised against the class and
style of architecture proposed. Mr..
Pickett of Iowa, made what was term
ed the most eloquent of the addresses.
He drew picture of the splendid silent
hall with the majestic figure of Lin
coin in the center, with the famous
second inaugural address at
one end of the structure, and the
GETTYSBURG address at the opposite end.
lone sentence in that address," ex-
claimed Mr.. Pickett, with malice to-
ward none and charity for all, has no
counterpart in all languages save that
of the Master, Father, forgive them,

Murphy Defeats Hauser.

Last Friday night Jake Hauser and
Floyd Murphy met at the M. w. A.
opera house in this city in finish
wrestling match. About 175 persons
witnessed the go which started prompt
ly at $50 o'clock and resulted in favor
of Murphy in two straight falls.
This was Murphy's first appearance
in this city and little was known of
him, but he proved to be there with
the goods all the time. Hauser started
after his man like wildcat, but be-
fore minutes had elapsed found he had
the hardest proposition on his hands
he had ever undertaken and slowed
down to hard work. After 704 minutes
hard milling, Murphy pinned Hauser to
the mat with an arm scissor lock hold,
which he had tried many times
only to have it broken. The second
fall come in just 8 minutes with the
hold.
Here are two of the best little wrest-
lers ever seen in Audubon and there
was not a moment when the crowd was
not paying strict attention to the
match. There was something doing
all the time. Hauser is little the
stronger of the two, but when it comes
to grit and knowledge of the game, he
has nothing on Murphy, who is like an
ele and slides out of dangerous places
with very little trouble.
Hauser was little put out over the
outcome and asked for return match,
which was readily granted by Mr.. Van
Deventer of Yale, Iowa, who looks af-
ter Murphy and his bouts The boys
will be seen here again in the near
future and when they meet again,
there will be something going on all
the way through.
The preliminaries were also very in
teresting though short Stafford lost to
Shupe in two straight falls.
When Murphy and Hauser meet again
they should draw big house, and no
doubt will, for they are evenly match
ed and will make an interesting exhibit
ton.
Thoral Jensen refereed the match
and gave very satisfactory decisions.

as chairman explained the object of the
meeting which was to secure more CO.
operative work on the River to River
road in the county by establishing
township organizations to secure effect
i've work on the road in the different
townships. DR.. Newton, the director
of the road for this county spoke of the
necessity of more work on the road if
the road is to compete with other Trans
continental roads. Mr.. Neff, mayor of
Walnut, speaking on behalf of his city
and community said they would do
everything in their power for the max
ing of a splendid highway on their part
of the shortcut. Mr.. III. F. Hansen
speaking for Elk Horn and community
said the road boosting spirit was
thoroughly alive in that hustling little
town and that Elk Horn could be
counted on for their share in the work.
Ronsing speeches were also delivered
. by Messrs. A. p. Hansen, G. d. Boiler,
T. M. Rasmussen, Ed. Delhoyde and
Otto Witthauer. The Chair appointed
the following committee draft Resolu-
tions: I, NJ. Rasmussen, MIR. Neff, III. F.
Hansen, A. P. Hansen and Ed. Del
hoyde. The following resolutions were
drawn up by the committee and adopted
by the gathering:
Resolved, that it is the sense and
sentiment of this meeting that we favor
the enactment of laws by the Legislature
providing for system of permanent
improvements of some of the roads OF
the state. That we favor the enactment
of law creating state highway CON-
mission and that such commission be
empowered to direct the method of
building and repairing all roads of the
state, and that all road and bridge
work in each county. be put in charge
of a competent engineer.
Be it further Resolved, that we rec
ommend the passage of a law, providing
for an additional levy of one mill tax
for road purposes. The money derived
therefrom in each county to be spent in
such county in such manner as state
highway commission shall direct, and
that the present laws be so revised as
to provide for an efficient business ad-
ministration of all road funds.
Be it further Resolved that, a copy
of these resolutions be forwarded to the
respective representatives in the legis-
lature from Shelby, Audubon and Pot
tawattamie counties.
Too much praise cannot be given the
Ladies Booster Club for the splendid
and willing service they rendered to
make the meeting success.
We hope Audubon will join Extra in
securing good permanent roads.
