Twenty Cases Of Typhoid

Some twenty cases of typhoid fever
have developed in the neighborhood of
Viola Center and Dedham, and already
one case has proved fatal that of Miss
Ridgeway, aged 10 years.
About six weeks ago church social
was held at the Jake Miller home where
oysters were served. A few days later
q number of persons who were present
becameill and physicians at first were at
a loss to know just what the matter was.
Almost all of those who took ill are now
struggling with well developed case
of typhoid fever A number are i'm
proving but the cases of Lloyd Olsen,
Lucille Perrine, Clarence Williams, Chas
Beebe, Archer, Textor and Bryan
rextor. Doris Mitchell and Chas. Beck
are quite serious Some of them are
very low and much concern has been
felt as TO their recovery, but as we go
to press the attending physicians are of
the opinion that all of them will recover.
The last case is that of Mrs. Findley
Burger who is now uStler the care of a
physician.
No one knows just how the epidemic
started but it is supposed that the
germs were either in the oysters, celery
or water. which was served at the
oyster supper.

Was Here Making Arrangements

H. p. Hansen of Manning, president
of the Interstate Firemeps Association
was in Audubon the last of the week
making arrangements with the Audu-
bon firemen to enter the tournament
which is to be held at Manning July
3 and 4. Our team went to the tourna-
ment at Harlan last year and won some
of the prizes. They had but ten days
to make preparations and when they
won some of the big prizes they were
greatly encouraged. Mr.. Hansen is will
ing to give the Audubon firemen all the
assistance he possibly can and no doubt
the boys will soon begin their weekly
practices. A. A. Dannenberg, the chief,
informs us that all the members of the
department are enthusiastic about the
coming tournament and will do their
utmost to make favorable showing on
the Bird and 18th of July.

ONLY nine MORE DAYS.
And We Give You The Automobile. Do
You Want 1t? II You Do, Get
Busy Right Now

With only nine more days until the
close of the Republicans big Auto Con.
test, there seems to be no abatement in
the interest shown, and the Contestants
are busy in all parts of the county. II
would be impossible at this time to pick
the winner as several of the Contestants
are running so close and working so
hard that it looks like a race to the
finish, with no one taking chance on
who will come under the wire first.
Contestants, do not forget that the
Contest closes for the Automobile at
eight o'clock on Saturday night, March
21st. If You are in the Office you may
cast all the votes you have, but the
doors of the Office will be closed at
exactly eight o'clock and you must not
expect to be admitted after that time.
An exact time for closing must be set,
and we must adhere strictly to the time
in order to deal with all contestants
alike, and to give all the same chance.
Get busy. 1t may be a long time be-
fore you again have a chance to win a
Ford Touring Car. If you worked hard
for twelve hours day from now on
until the close of the contest and won
the auto you would be making big
money. Don't put off getting to work.
Do it now. A few 50 and $40 subscrip
tons would boost your vote amazingly.
The Republican is the official county
paper and will print the board proceed
ings, road notices, county treasurers
reports, besides, every other item of
official news from the county seat.
Many dollars worth of new type,
machinery and other equipment have
already been bought by the Re-
publican which will enable us to pub
fish still better newspaper and it is a
mighty good time for the girls to get
busy and solicit subscriptions, when
they stand chance of winning $3.50

a32 Calibre Revolver.

Hal Wheeler, a son of Mrs. James
Lee, aged 81 years, shot and killed
himself at the home of Tom Newell,

barn, both young men went to the house
where they inquired about dinner and
were informed that it would be ready
for them in short time. Young Heuss
went to the kitchen to wash while Hal
Wheeler went up stairs to his room.
They waited for him quite while and
when he did not return, young Heuss
went to his room to see why he did not
come to dinner. He found the door to
his room locked which he succeeded in
opening with force. To his surprise
and astonishment he was Mortified to
find the lifeless body of Wheeler on the
bed with wound in his forehead,
about an inch above the bridge of his
nose. Blood was spattered ON the wall,
and a revolver lay at his side. This in
formation was at once communicated
to others in the house. They at once
telephonedNto coroner Harmon who
with DR.. May fastened to the scene.

a Business Letter
that should Appeal
To Every Man and
Woman in Aud
ubon County.

The question, will Aud
ubon have a sewerage sys-
tenn in the near future, may
be a vital question, and can
be determined by how you
vote at our town election.
But there is another
great question to which we
will call your attention to,
and that is this are you as
particular about the price
you pay for what you eat, as
you are about the time,
labor and energy you put
forth and receive for the
same.
If you are, then you will
be interested to know where
you can buy the cheapest,
get the best goods for the
money receive the best
treatment, at all times,
where ever4 man, woman
and child lo&s alike to us,
no special favors given to
any one, but our best effort
to phase all that come to us,
to. be served.
We have been so busy
the last three months that
we have not had the time to
write an ad, but take this
time to write you this friend
ly letter, that those of you
who have never been to our
store, will receive this, an
other kindly invitation to
call on us when in Audit smii IN.
There is one thing that
we wish to call your atten-
ton to in particular, and
that is this, that we are sell
ling more coffee than any
other store in the county,
and the reason for this is the
quality and the
very low price. Our Head
light Brand Coffee has been
a big seller, our special blend
bulk coffee, one at Csc and
the other a high grade only
Soc per h., now this latter
would cost you any where
35c to 40c a Id.
Now coffee is not the
only thing that we can save
you money on, in fact any
and every thing you want in
the grocery line. Coal oil by
the barrel SC per gal. Case
line by the barrel 15c per
gal. Now it is not our inten-
ton to quote you prices at
this time, but rather come
in and see for yourself.
You know that we will
pay you the highest price
for your eggs, also your but
ter, also remember that our
wholesale department is the
biggest surprise to those that
come in and get our prices,
and are convinced that they
can do better here at home,
or at least as well as to send
to Chicago or Omaha for the
same.
Remember that it is not
our policy or intention to sell
a few articles at cost or a
very low price to deceive
you and charge you the top
price on other things.
