A Hot Night in Audubon

Still, still as death. Not breath
comes thru the windows. The wood
work inside the house feels hot to the
hand. The cement walks strike their
stored heat thru the soles of slippers
when the family turns to the side of
the house where the breeze comes
strongest when any air is stirring.
Under the trees the heat is like blan-
ket. Not a leaf stirs. Close humid,
painting hot everywhere Petulant
queries over the necessity of such
weather evoke no replies. The moon
comes up but no wind rises with it,

Insects buzz by or creep with sharp
toes over faces and bare feet. A bug
as big as bird booms in at some I'M
guarded dress opening and fights des-
perately to free himself from the cling

squeals and frantic scramblings cal
culated to assist its effects. Now and
then the quietude is broken by slap
as some one Stays mosquito. The
moon goes gloriously on in her course
and tiptoes over the tree tops grin
ing malicously.

The ScOurse Of Scandal

Swifter than the lightning, more
deadly than plague, more difficult to
confine and combat than forest fires,
more unjust than greed itself, is a
blasting tongue of scandal Scandal,
like death, loves shining mark. IL
admits of no defense. 1t strikes like
the assassin that it is, in the dark; and
the innocent not alone suffer with the
guilty, but more than the guilty and
in greater numbers.
Regulations based ON blameless lives
and Christian character crumble and
fall before its resistless impact. 1t is
the delight of the cynic, and foe of in
nocence. IL strikes here or there with
heartless abondon, nor counts the cost
in ruined lives or broken hearts.
Sown upon the fertile soil of disbe
lief in human virtue, seed of fact
soon becomes forest of innendo, rock.

Martha Whittier, or a girl giving
that name, lived at my house until
Wednesday. "said Mrs. Rumsie. ''She
was a Danish girl and l thought she
was q little off She spent most of
her time sewing in her room and
didn't appear to have much money.
She was always telling us some one
was prosecuting her but we didS pay
much attention TO her.
ION Wednesday she went ont and
returned two or three times. Finally
in the afternoon she again went out
but did not return.
The girl came here last Saturday,
saying she could not stay more than
a week, as she was going back to
Audubon, Ia, where her brother,
Christopher, worked. The girl said
her brother had sent her money to
come home on. She had lived at $50

Sunday afternoon.
''She told me that she had been
forced to move to place ON Indiana
street because her landlady had
quarreled with her when some men
had called on her. The girl had two
brothers in Iowa, and said she might
visit them. She was a seamstress and
worked some place down town. do
not know where"
Josephine Berger, daughter of a
farmer living near where the body was
found, told of the woman's appearance
there early Thursday morning.
1T was about one o'clock in the
morning." she said when father and
were awakened by the moaning of a
woman outside the door. | opened the
door and saw woman holding on to a
post by the fence She was exhausted
and was weeping. | noticed how
nervous she was and asked her the
trouble. She cried out that the Black
Hand was after her and that she was
running away to keep from being bad
woman. She begged us for shelter for
the night
Mother had come to the door and
told her that we had no place to keep
her for the night, but suggested that
she go to the Oak Forest infirmary
where she could be given shelter.
She was confused in some of her
statements. First she stated she had
been put off a railroad train, and then
later that she had jumped off the train
to get away from the Black Hand.
Before we could question her fur,
Their she turned and ran toward the
road and disappeared in the darkness.
We learned that she did not go to the
infirmary."
After learning of the positive identi
fication Detective George Scrivner OF
Coroner Hoffman's office and Deputy
Coroner Webster declared they believed
the girl had committed suicide.

Dave Randolph, narrowly escaped
serious injury last Saturday, when a
team ran away with him in the hay
field. The team was hitched to a
hay rack and Mr.. Randolph was driving
them out TO the field when they became
frightened and started to run. The
roughness of the ground caused him to
lose his balance and he fell head first
on to the ground. The force of the fall
rendered him unconcious for some time.
Fortunately he was not injured and is
able to be up again.

THE STORM OF PROTEST


Argus Leader: The 3 yrne tax com
mission Is out with another circular
letter addressed to the taxpayers
which ii designed to let the commits
ts;pn out from the storm OF protest
which Is expected to follow when the
taxpayers begin to cash in, under The
new plan. It's certain, Of course,
tat under this plan the taxes Of the
railroads and other public service
corporations will be reduced and that
the taxes Of the farmers will be In
creased. The reason for this is easy
to see. The railroads ana other cor
;porations, including the banks. have
been paying taxes on an assessment
much nearer 10 par than the farmers
have. When all are raised to par,
the farmers will haveto be boosted
more than the railroads and the
banks.
