Kenyon A Republican.

Senator Kenyon in his speech at
Minneapolis the other day before a
progressive club of that city told them
very plainly that he was republican,
and that the only hope for success was
for the progressiyes and republicans to
bury their differences and get together.
There is always something refreshing
about Senator Kenyon's republicanism.
He is no trimmer. He is republican
because he believes in the principles of
the republican party. He indorses and
stood for the republican ticket from top
to bottom of the late primary, and as a
result received the highest vote of any
candidate on the ticket. He didn't
trim or support half of the ticket, upon
some trumpet up grievance. but stood
by his guns and the result was that he
holds the respect and good will of all of
the republicans of Iowa, regardless of
factions

Ought to be a Great Inauguration.

The historic mystery surrounding the
assault on Billy Patterson, is nothing
compared tothe hair pulling matches in
cident to the Inauguration of Woodrow
Wilson as President. In the nations
capital the citizenship is deprived of
the ballot, so once each four years they
make up for all they have lost in politics
by scrapping over the honors of the
inaugural. Gradually the wounded
have been pushed aside, and despite
Governor Wilson's plea for simple
inauguration, the evidences are that
one of the most spectacular events in
history will be pulled off on March
fourth. A great fund has already been
raised, and the coming Inauguration
will doubtless eclipse all predecessors.
A few people are studying all the
modern get rich quick" methods to try
on visitors.

The marriage of Miss Henrietta Burr
and Mr. Alfred w. Owen, took place
yesterday at high noon at the home of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Aug.
Burr. The ceremony was witnessed by
a number of relatives and intimate
friends and was performed by Rev. A.
B. Miller of the Presbyterian church.
After the usual congratulations, the
wedding party was ushered into the
Dining room where big wedding
feast was served.
The bride is one of Audubon's nobl-
est young women and comes from one
of the county's most substantial
families. She is an accomplished
woman and will make her companion
a home in all that the term implies.
The groom is a man of splendid charac-
ter and attachments. He is a farmer
of the industrious type and will make
life success. After the 1st of March
Mr.. and Mrs. Owen will make their
home on the Aug. Burr farm three
miles east of Hamlin, where the friends
of the contracting parties hope they
will enjoy life. The Republican joins
a host of friends in wishing the highest
possible degree of success, which we
know they merit.

BRICK HOUSE SENT BY MAIL.
Uncle Sans Parcel Post gets its Heavi-
est Parcel.

Mr.. Lou Tramp of the Audubon
Brick & Tile Company, sent by Parcel
Post this morning brick of local
manufacture to be used in building a
brick house at the Coliseum Chicago
during the Clay Products Exposition
which is to be held February 26th to
March 9Th. This brick will be one of
$4,000 sent by parcel post from every
brick plant in the United States to be
used in the construction of this house,
which will be given away and reerect-
ed after the exposition,
The idea originated to test the merits
of the Parcel Post system and it is
certainly novel one. A record will
be kept of each brick from the time the
brick is mailed until it is delivered
in Chicago in order to see how speedily
Uncle Sam can deliver brick house by
mail.
1t is probable that Uncle Sans mail
carriers in Chicago will not be overly
enthusiastic for this method of delivery
of brick house. Other mail carriers
Throughout the country will watch the
experiment with interest and fear and
trembling. While the brick fireproof
home is becoming more and more popu-
lar because of it's permancy, economy
and superiority, it is not probable that
they will be delivered by mail to any
alarming extent.
At any rate The Audubon Brick &
Tile Co. win have brick in the first
brick house ever sent by mail.

SHAW NAY GET RAILROAD
Is Highest Bidder for A. N. & S. Ry. at
Resale Of that Road at Atlantic Tuesday.

Leslie M. Shaw was bidder for the
Atlantic, Northern g. Southern railroad
at the resale at Atlantic Tuesday, but
for some reason he neglected to comply
with a very necessary requirement Of
the court in its recent order directing
the resale Of the road. He failed to
accompany his bid with certified
check for per cent of the amount of
the bid. He did, however, accompany
the bid with certified check on an At
lantic bank for $4,000. 1t may be
because of the discrepancy that his bid
will be thrown out
There were three bids made. Two of
them were for parts of the line and
Shaw's bid was for the entire line. The
bids were:
The first mortgage holders, bid on
the north end of the line, about
eighteen miles from Atlantic to
Kimballton, $S7, 900.
Robert Abeles, contractor, second
lien holder, $168, 200 on the south
end of the line, or about thirty
eight miles.
Blakedell Co., by Leslie M. Shaw,
attorney, 1870, 600 bid for the entire
line.
The bids were accompanied with GER
titled checks for 5 per cent of the bid,
except in the case of the Shaw bid Re-
ceiver Harlan took Shaws bid and will
hand it over to the court to be disposed
of.
Judge Arthur will hold court in At.
lantic Saturday, March 1, when the
sale will be confirmed
The Shaw bid is more than 100000
higher for the entire road than the other
two bids combined, for the north and
the south ends of the line. But it was
made under the old advertisement for
bids, now nearly year and half old,
and not under the recently published
order of the court, which directed that
q check for per cent of the bid should
accompany it.
1t is understood that the attorneys for
Shaw contend that inasmuch as the
court in ordering the road resold fret
directed that the check should be 15per
cent of the bid, and later, without pub.
fishing the notice of the change, reduc-
ed the amount to only per cent, the
entire procedure is irregular and void,
so they claim. For this reason they
submitted their bid under the terms OF
the old advertisement, under which the
road was first bid in by the Short Line
in September, l911.

excellent showing though she failed to
land aplace that would entitle her to re-
present the school in the state contest.
Nevertheless, the people of Audubon
and all those connected with the public
school ara Y,roud of the chewing made
by the Audubon representative.
Those who attended the contest were
Miss Eloise Buck, Miss Melka, Prof.
Butler, Geo. Buck and daughter, Miss
Mildred and Miss Mcclure. Many

ANNUAL MASONIC BANQUET.
Brilliant Affair and Largely Attended
Regardless Of the Inclement and
Snowy Weather.

The annual banquet given by Veritas
Lodge and Amity Chapter, of the Ma
sonic fraternity last Thursday evening,
was one of the most brilliant affairs
that has taken place in the town for
several months. The banquet was held
in the lodge rooms and was prepared
and served by the ladies of the M. E.
church. And we wish to state right
here the entire arrangement was carried
out by the ladies in a manner that brot
comment from many quarters.
At $50 the Masons, their wives and
lady friends began to arrive and short
ly afterward were seated at tables
artistically decorated and neatly APP
pointed. A five course dinner was
served to which about $50 guests did
justice. Following the dinner came a
half hour of social conversation and
then came the musical program which
opened by selection from Ruth and
Aravilla Tremaine on the piano and
violin. These little folks are the daugh-
tiers of Harry Tremaine and wife, of
the Park hotel, and their selections and
encores were loudly applauded and
thoroughly appreciated. Both exhibit
ed remarkable talent.
Next was vocal Duet by Mrs. DR..
Brooks and Flo Freeman, which was
enjoyed such as their selections always
are. The solo by Miss Berger with
violin obligato by Miss Tilda Schmidt,
was fully appreciated and she respond
ed cheerfully with another selection.
The Masonic Male Quartet rendered Sc
lections that were appropriate and
pleasing.
Miss June Gray, in her musical mon
ologues simply captivated the audience,
and gave number of selections that
were roundly applauded. She has a
clear, sweet voice, and renders her Sc
lections with remarkable ease and good
expression. The vocal Duet by Miss
Berger and Mr.. Sampson was kindly
received and richly enjoyed. The eli
max of the evening came when the
numerous operetta by Mrs. Brooks, Mrs.
Freeman, w. w. Smith and Frank G.
Sampson was rendered. Their actions
were clever and the singing was simply
grand. 1t was fitting climax to an
evening of unbounded pleasure. Miss
Martha Dunn presided at the piano
during the rendering of the program.
The Audubon Masons are lively set
and partake of some of the good things
of life as they pass along. The order is
steadily increasing in membership and
special meetings are being held to accom-
modate those who wish to become mem
beers of this splendid organization.

friends to meet with them, last Thurs
day evening, in the j. Kuhn home to
listen to an informal talk ON art given by
Alexander Dick of Des Moines. Mr..
Dick gave many helpful suggestions ON
the framing and hanging of picture
and also told why certain prints were
more valuable than others. He took up
in detail the pictures appropriate to be
hung in the church, the school and the
home. His talk was plain and practical
and melted the hearers to keener APP
probation of real art.
After general discussion and the
examination of a number of copies of
the masterpieces, light refreshments

TEACHERS.

Teachers will send to their directors
for reports to Secretary. In these re-
ports there is place for pupils grades.

these reports as we are supposed to have
them in our Office. Also the Institute
Registration fee is unpaid by several.
The law calls it Institute Registration,
if you attend and pay it there, there is
no further fee of Registration. Your
certificate must be registered and your
dollar paid at Institute time or by the
beginning of your school or every dollar
of school money you draw you can be
