A FARM HAND
SHOOTS WOMAN
Parties in the Tragedy Known to
People Here i'm Audubon

Mrs. j. w. King, wife of a young
farmer living one mile east of Han
cock, was shot in the back of the
head Tuesday forenoon and Harry
Roden, young man who had been
employed on the farm for about four
months, has been arrested, charged
with having committed the deed. 1t
is said that he has admitted firing the
shot.
Mrs. King late Wednesday night,
was beginning to partially recover
consciousness, although she yet was
unable to relate the details surround
ing the shooting. Roden was taken
to the county jail at Council Bluffs
Wednesday evening, where he will be
held pending the outcome of Mrs.
Kings injuries.
Mrs. King is still In a serious con-
dition and physicians attending her
are yet unable to state just how good
are her chances for recovery.
Two or more shots were fired at
Mrs. King, one of them passing thru
her hand end embedding itself in the
wall and the other entering her head
in the back.
The shooting and subsequent
flight of Roden and his capture and
the escape of Mrs. King to the home
OF neighbor, created the greatest
excitement in this section of the
country.
Mrs. King was engaged in scrub
bling floor at her home when young
Roden is believed to have entered
the house, leaving his team of horses
standing in the yard after having
driven in from the field. Mr.. King
was in Avoca
About 10 o'clock Mrs. King reach
ed the home of Sam Bell, neighbor
living about twenty rods from the
King home. more dead than alive,
and with blood streaming from the
bullet wound in the back of her
head
An alarm was instantly given and
soon neighbors were searching for
Roden. He was seen entering a corn
field and the chase was on. He had
a good start of the poose but he was
readily overtaken and was arrested
about two miles from Avoca. He was
on the railroad track and was headed
for Walnut.

MEETINGS NEARING
THE FINAL CLOSE
Tabernacle Meetings That Have Been
In Progress Five Weeks, Come
to an End Sunday

The last lap of the union taber-
nacle meetings Is on. This week
closes the series of services. Evan
gelist Newlin has proved that he is d
master of the Bible. Hundreds OF
people have testified that the Bible is
new book to them since hearing
the evangelist preach three weeks.
There is freshness about each mes
sage that marks the student. There
has been but one criticism of the SER
mons and that is that they are not
long enough. 1t is true that the SER
mons are not as long as many of
those of other evangelists but they
contain much more real matter than
many of the longer discourses of
other men.
The number of decisions TO date
have been 1854. Without doubt there
will be many more during the last
days of the Campaign.
Next Sunday will be Offering day
for the evangelist The offering COM
mittee has prepared the following
statement which will help In explain
ing the offering:
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1915-10-28

On Sunday the offering will
be taken to compensate Evan
gelist Newlin for his labors in
Audubon. Regarding this sew
eral things should be stated.
1. This is the only COM
pensation Evangelist Newlin
receives for his labors. The
money raised thus far has
been for the local expenses.
2. He pays out of his own
pocket all of the salaries of his
assistants, which in this place
is $4,000.
8. In what other line of
work could you get man to
come to our city and labor as
he has done and agree to take
as compensation only what the
people feel willing TO give at
the close.
4. Evangelist Newlin is
able to get in only about five
or at the most six, campaigns
year. Each meeting repres-
ents, then. two months or
more of service. There are
times in the year when meet
ings are unreasonable and for
much of his service he receiv-
es nothing at all.
5. The great strain upon
the evangelist's health should
be noted--the work saps his
vitality. II Is evident that he
is burning the candle of life
rapidly. No man cGp stand up
for maay years under suoh
strenuous effort.
6. The amount of work he
has done. He will have preach
ed about sixty five times when
the meetings shall have closed.
T.. A lecturer coming to
( the city would receive from
$4,000 to $4,000 per night
for his work. Certainly Evan
gelist Newlin's sermons have
been equal to any lectures.
s. The great results that
have been achieved are beyond
; computation. What does the
; community owe to Evangelist
) Newlin? Come prepared on
Sunday to do your part in
; making reply of which Aud
ubon will be proud. III.

withheld his decision. having the
matter still under advisement
The last fury case was tried OH Sat-
urday when the case of j. H. Driscoll
of Anita VS. Brandstatteh the Extra
liveryman was being tried. This case
was quite a perplexing one, ii involv-
ing team of horses which had been
mortgaged and later sold to Brand
stratter, whowas not aware of the
mortgage. The team was taken from
Extra under O writ of replevin last
March and was later sold at public
auction. Mr.. Brandstatter purchas-
ed the team from e. B. voss of Elk
ira who had taken the team from Geo.
Murphy on second mortgage. The
jury deliberated on the case from
1880 in the morning until after nine
o'clock at night when a verdict was
returned in favor of the Driscoll es-
tate.
Three other jury cases had been
assigned for trial, but by agreement
of counsel on both sides, one was dis
missed and the others were contin-
ued until the December term.
Two divorce cases were heard and
granted as follows: Sherley Wood
from Emma Wood; Katie Sorensen
from Wallace Sorensen.
The first few days of the week the
four Baker cases were being heard
and after examining some witnesses
the parties to the action made an eff
fort to settle the dispute, which was
later done. One Of the cases reQuir-
ed the payment OF $400 and the 9TH
er one payment of $4,000. In both
these cases @. w. Hoover was the adj
ministrator. In the case Of John T..
Baker VS. VIM. Baker, which involves
the estate of Robert Baker, the father
of the children, the defendant was
ordered to pay the other heirs the
sum of $4,000, the cost of the trial
being equally divided between the
parties. Some real estate which is
located In Viola township is to be sold
and j. F. Miller was appointed the
referee. The appraisers of the land
are j. c. Bonwell. F. c. Miller and
Amos Fancher.
Judge Thornell who presided on
the bench left this morning for his
home in Sidney where he will remain
over Sunday, having been in Audi
bon almost two weeks. Next Tuesday

TO ERECT NEW BUILDING

James Law has commenced the
tearing down of the old frame build
ing across the street from the Repub-
lican Office and will at once begin ex-
cavating for full basement and the
erection of a modern brick store
room. The building will be 25x96
with nine foot basement under the
entire length and will be one story.
This will make a valuable addition
to the street and displaces one of the
old land marks in Audubon. A large
force of workmen will be employed,
that the room may be completed at
the earliest possible moment.
Mr.. Law is yet undecided as to
what he will do with the room but
has in mind something important.

PEACE BEFORE WINTER?
This Is View of Gen Smith Dorrien, Ex-
pressed in Speech Before Canadians.

Montreal, P. O., April 29-Gen. Sir
Horace Smith Dorrien, commander of the
British second army in France, does not
think there will be another winter cam
paign. He made this statement in a
speech he delivered to the officers of the
Canadian contingent just before that
force was moved from Neuve Chappelle
to Ypres. an extract of which has just
reached here. Gen. Smith Dorien said:
mo one can say definitely when the
war will end. As YOU know, we are opti-
mistie out here, and rightly so. do
not say the war will end in one month
or two months, but think | can promise
you that there will not be another win
ter campaign. We know that Germany's
reserves of fighting men are nearly ex-
hausted. They have one more reserve
to draw on. and when this is trained and
put in the field they will have used every
available man. We are satisfied of this
and so is Gen. Joffre."

If BACK HURTS USE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Feel Like
Lead or Bladder Both
ers

Most folks forget that the kidneys
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need flushing occasionally, else
we have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu.
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach
slceplessness, and all sorts of bladder
disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney region,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any good drug store here, take a table
spoonful in glass Of water before
breakfast for few days, and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity.
II also neutralizes the acids in the urine
SO it no longer initiates, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive
makes a delightful, effervescent, lithia-
water drink, which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kidneys
clean, thus avoiding serious compiled
tons.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
Ieve in overcoming kidney trouble while
it is only trouble.--Advt.

IN A FLOOD OF
INDICTMENTS
Wholesale Conspiracies Are
Alleged in These Chi
cago Cases

Chicago, April 29.--The Is officials of
labor unions, so contractors or contract
ing firms and two alleged trusts named
in indictments returned in the United
States district court Tuesday, charging
violation of the Sherman antitrust act
and interstate commerce law, were ex-
pected to appear yesterday to give bond
in $4,000 for each indictment in which
their names appear.
II those indicted do not respond within
a few days, it was announced by the
court, capiases will be issued.
The charges in each of the eight in
dictments are conspiracy to restrI1
trade, combination in restraint of trade,
interfering with interstate commerce,
and restraining interstate commerce.
The labor leaders were charged with
having conspired to prevent union work
men from unloading or handling goods
shipped from outside the state, because
of alleged disputes with the concerns to
which the goods were consigned.
The indictments charged that associa-
tions have been formed here for the pur
pose of boycotting goods, in certain lines,
manufactured outside of Chicago.
The labor leaders, it was alleged, had
agreed not to permit their men to work
on Jobs where material manufactured
outside of Chicago was being used, and
the contractors agreed, it was charged, to
employ only workmen who were mem
bers OF the union which belonged to the
association.
Officials of the Chicago Lighting & Fix
ture association and the Chicago Switch
board Manufacturers association were
named in two indictments. Many cleo
trica contractors also were included in
the list. The investigation was started
a year ago.

knees that helps you along, and there
Is a sense of freedom about the waist
and shoulders that the trousered man
will never feel.
"When you are in billets on a hard
wood or stone floor, all you have to do is
to take off your kilt and spread it on the
floor, then with your blanket starting
from the bottom of it and brought for
ward again over your feet, you have a
bed which keeps all the cold and hard
ness away.
"In actual fighting the moral effect of
the kilt is of value, and its associations
with hard and terrible fighting are so
well known and appreciated that the
very sight of bare knees and waving
kits has an effect on the enemy as well
as on yourselves"
