YESTERDAYS CROWD
WAS OVER 1000
Excellent Weather Yesterday Gave
Audubon The Largest Attend
ance at the Fair I'm Many
Wears,

The great Audubon County Fair is
on this week and the weather man
has been our friend in this instance.
The heavy rain Monday evening cast
a gloom over the tented city and
many were of the opinion that this
week would be REPETITION of the past
two weeks. However, Monday eve
ming the wind shifted to the north
west and during the night ii cleared
of Tuesday morning dawned bright
and clear and by noon the race track
1t the fair grounds was pronounced
in condition for racing. Splendid
races were pulled off though the
crowd was small The association
was pledged 10 give the horsemen
square deal and they feel that the
officers did everything in their power
10 make the first day what they had
| claimed for II,
Wednesday was the greatest day
Audubon has seen for many years.
The morning trains brought large
crowds and from early till late, auto
mobiles and vehicles loaded with peo-
pie came to visit the great county
fair The crowd yesterday was es-
| timated at over 1000. 1900 single
admissions were sold besides several
hundred family tickets which would
represent at least five to the family.
There were 5S4 childrens tickets
sold 563 autos were on the ground
and 2S7 teams.
A large crowd is looked for today.
At the hour of going to press large
| crowds are coming and We would not
be surprised if the last day of the
| fair would be almost equal to the
| best day. A>good racing program
has been provided. The election of
officers takes place from one to three
this afternoon, and as usual, will at
tract considerable attention. Two
tickets are in the field,
The grounds are in splendid shape
this year and the exhibits are well
placed The concessions are more
numerous than in previous years.
The exhibit of cattle and hogs is bet
ter than it has been in many years.
The corn display is also very good.
Audubon county people have proved
beyond question of doubt that they
are loyal to the county fair. Every
township is well represented. Many
of the surrounding towns have sent
large delegations The Extra band
furnished music yesterday and they
brought with them large following.
In fact Wednesday was Extra" day.
The county races are proving a
big drawing card. The list of entries
was large and the races were inter
esting the thousands of spectators.
The officers of the association in
formed us last night that Wednes-
days big crowd will provide for all
expense. Whatever is taken in at the
gates today will be profit Many i'm
provements have been made and the
association will need all the money
it can possibly get hold of to carry
out the plans they have in mind for
next year.

NEW SCHOOL AT EXTRA

The town of Extra is having new
and modern school building erected
for the benefit and comfort of the
school children of their district The
contract was let sometime ago and
workmen have been busily engaged
making Roadway for an early COM
pletion of the new building. At the
present time there is an unsightly
appearance about the school grounds
but by Christmas time when the new
building will be occupied, the old eye
sores will be removed, and the new
order of things will be a delightful
sight to behold.
The schools of Extra are fully ac-
credited. They have also been desig-
mated as a Normal Training High
School and will receive state APP
propiation each year II has taken
years of hard and constant work to
bring the Extra schools up to the
present standard and people all over
Audubon county rejoice with the Ex-
ira folks in the splendid success they
have achieved.

THE LATE WAR NEWS

LONDON, Sept. 23.--The CORES
pondent of the Daily Mail, under
date of Sunday and from an unnamed
place, sends report that the Ger
man right has been turned between
Peronne and Saint Quentin. He also
tells of the arrival of wounded who
bring stories that there are nine
miles of dead in the trenches be-
tween the two towns named. and con-
tinues:
"Peronne was evacuated by the
Germans two days ago. They oc-
cupied a strong position with hills
behind and marshes in front. The
French received orders to take the
position at any cost. the reason OF
this order being that if the Germans
were driven from here they would
be enveloped by the outspreading
French left wing.
AT first the trenches were combed
out by the artillary fire, but the Ger
mans still held on and their guns on
the heights behind We're doing exc
cution among the French. Then IL
was decided to storm the position.
Across the marsh, in the half
light before dawn, tue French troops
advanced in number of narrow
columns. They suffered badly but
never wavered. The Germans wait
ed for them i'm the trenches and there
was a fierce deadly struggle, breast
to breast. The French had the ad-
vantage of the dash and vigor and
they stabbed and stabbed until their
arms ached. Their losses were
heavy, but they gained their point
and the Germans fell back to st.
Quentin.
The French were reinforced and
pursued the Germans holly into the
suburbs of the town. There was
savage fighting in the streets, but
yard by yard they were driven back
until they received orders to aban-
don the town. | hear that they are
now making an effort to retake
Perenne."

MYsTERIOUsLY DISAPPEARS

Anna Hansen who for several weeks
has been employed as dish washer
at the Conklin Cafe. mysteriously
disappeared Sunday evening after
church and so far no trace has been
found of her. About two months ago
this same girl was found living in a
corn field near Walnut and was later
taken to the home of Chris Kleuver
south of town where she remained
until she came to Audubon. A coun-
ter slip from one of the local stores
bearing her name was found in a
chicken coop at Fodder Schmidt's
this morning which leads to the be-
lief that she had occupied the place
some time or other. The girl seems
to have a mania for queer pranks of
this kind and there are many who be-
lieve her mind Is affected.

THE POLITICAL TREND

On a percentage basis this repub-
lican gain of 1895 is equal to 23
per cent. The democratic party reg
listers a loss of AZ per cent which
counts 1891 votes. The progress
ives lose 70,715 votes which is 81
per cent of their 1912 strength
Senator Norris of Nebraska is one
OF the strongest among the progress
sives in the congress at Washington.
II was Norris who led the fight
against what was known as Cannon
ism In the house. He was elected TO
the senate in 1912. X. b. Howell,
nominated for governor on the re-
publican ticket in Nebraska. is a
progressive with an excellent record.
The fact that the progressives con
troll the republican party in Nebras-
ka makes an Independent party
bearing that title unnecessary. This
is clearly indicated by the compar-
ison of the 1912 and 1914 primary
vote as given above.
This Nebraska case is typical of
the whole country. There are some
exceptions, but this is the rule. If
the elections in the coming Novem-
Der confirm this very decided trend,
the republican party two years
hence, with a wisely progressiven NOM
inee. will come into the national
campaign with good chance 10 win
back the presidency.-Council Bluffs
