ELECTRICITY
For Everybody, Lighting the House
Cooking the Meals Washing and
Ironing and Sweeps the Floor

To show what electricity can do
In the way Of housekeeping on tha
farm or in the village isolated
from city conveniences. Thomas A.,
Edison has equipped house in
West lorange, N. j. A four horse
power gasoline engine drives q
dynamo that charges the storage
batteries, by means of which elec-
tricity is abatilable at all hours all
over the house. 1t is used for
lighting, cooks the food, washes
and irons the clothes and by near
of the yacuam cleaner sweeps and
dusts. An electric ice-box manur
factures its own ice. There are all
sor,s of handy electric devices,
coffee percolator, toaster and
chafing dish for the dining room.
In the bath room electric heaters
dry the towels and in the bedrooms
electric heating pads warm the
beds. Anyone can operate the
plant. The batteries require no
attention except the addition of q
little water from time to time. The
motor which is run simply by press
Ing button will store up enough
electricity in seven hours for three
days use.

SHORT LINE TROUBLE
Ask Receiver for Iowa Omaha Shore
Line. Everybody Have Little
Troubles Of their Own.

Application for a receiver to
take charge Of the Iowa Omaha
Short Line, the thirteen miles of
railway between Council Bluffs and
Treynor which has caused so much
grief to seven wealthy Treynor far
mers who have furnished most of
it's financial backing, was made in
a petition filed Monday i'm Pottawat
tamie District Court by the Lana
Constructor Company aud W. NJ.
Lana by whom the line was built.
Lana claims that he has never
been Paid for the construction of
the road amounting to- over eleven
thousand dollars. He declares in
his petition that the road is being
unskdllfully managed and is depre-
ciating in value and that, as a re-
suit, his lien upon the property is
being endangered and will suffer
great impairment.
A judgment in favor of Lana
was paid last week amounting to
$4,000 by the seven Treynor back
ers of the road. This action is
directed against the Short Line as
an Incorporation.

The Printers Towel

When / think of the towel, the old
fashioned towsl,
That used to hang UP on the
printing house door,
I think that nobody in these days
of shoddy,
Can hammer iron to wear as it
wore.
The tramp who abused it, the devil
who used it,
The max cup, the foreman, the
editor (poor man,
Each rubbed some grim off while
they put heap on.
In, over and under, twas blacker
than thunder,
Twas harder than poverty, rough
er than sin,
From the roller suspended, it never
was bended,
And it flapped on the door like
a banner of tin.
1t grew thicker and rougher and
harder and tougher,
And daily put on an inkier hue.
Until one windy morning, without
any warning,
1t fell to the floor and was brok-

Man, Who Has Helped to Build up

the Shining Road to Success

1t is a real pleasure to know that
one Of Extras Oldest and best
boosters, d. e. Stranger, is making
success OF an untried business and
ds prospecting therein in or neigh
boring city.
While his busine IS may be looked
upon as an infant industry, the
surprising fact is that it is all
ready taxed almost beyond it's cap
acity. In two or three departments
it is far behind with it's orders
and finding it difficult to secure
the labor necessary to manufacture
as fast as the trade demands.
Additional equipment is be ng
installed in the plant; and there
is every prospect that the business
will grow to great proportions in
the not distant future.

Wedding Bells

At the beautiful home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Rutherford, occurred
the marriage of their only daugh-
ter, Anna Rose, to Mr. Paul F.
Horning, SON of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
H. Horning of Audubon, "Wednesday
March 18th at high noon.
Miss Lena Mack rendered "The
Bridal March, from Lohengrin on
the piano, as the bride and groom
entered the. parlor, preceded by
the officiating minister, Rev
Edward B Scoggan of Manning The
parlor had been decorat d with the
color scheme of pink and white
and pink and white roses. In the
solemn and impre ssive words of
tba Methodist Episcopal ritual the
bride and groom plighted either to
c;fer their troth for life. The
guests were the immediate mem
bers of the families OF the bride
and groom only.
The bride is one of Iowa's fair
est and best products. She h, as
for several years been in the front
ranks of Audubon County's school
tes Tiers. She has host OF friends
who have learned to love her for
her genial and sterling virtues and
all join in wishing her all happi-
ness in her new relationship in
life.
The groom is one of our enter
prising young men. He has all
ready demonstrated his ability to
care for his bride and meet the
difficulties of life.
After the ceremony and the Civ
ing of congratulations, the guest S
partook of such a banquet as can
be prepared only by the master
cooks of Iowa. No art was lfet
untried to make comfortable the
inner man.
AT the hymeneal a ter the bride
was attired in a suit of tan color
ed msesaline silk tastefully trm-
med. The groom wore the conven-
tional sack suit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Horning will go

born and raised.
Many beautiful and useful present
were received by tho bride and

relatives and friends.

Bob for Post Master

Among those recommended for tn
Postoffices near home We find the
name of R. G. Spencer of the Ad-
vocate, for Audubon. We don't
know why Bob should not make an
excellent postmaster, his business
brings him into direect relations
with the requirement of the post
office department. BY nature he
is courteous and obliging, his fe-
atty to his party entities him tc
recognition by government ap-
pointment. Then last but not least
he was at one time the handsome
candidate for Member of Congress
from this district and made good
run. Success Bob.

old established papers like the

Agricultural Society

1t would be fair to all if the Au-
dubon County Agricultural Society
void offer their advertising to the
lowe st bidder in the County, in
stead of having the work done by
one establishment evs,ry year. The
Journal thinks it would be justice
to our people to do so, and would
create a better feeling and better
patronage for the fair. During the
last eight years thls paper has
gotten out the fair book just once.
It's time the people stir the
matter.

OVER FORTY PERISH
Explosion on British Ship Of Three
Hundred Tons Of Dynamite

The explosion of three hundred
tons OF dynamite in the lower
harbor of Baltimore. Maryland, has
caused instant desth to forty and
the wounding and manning OF three
score more and destroyed over half
a million dollars of property.
The cause of the fire is sup
posed to be combustion in the
coal bunkers of the Alum Chine,
a British tramp steamer, taking on
dynamite for the Panama Canal.
So great was the explosion that
the whole state of Delaware was
shaken as if by an earthquake. De-
bris was thrown for two miles thrc
the air.
