FARM HOME DESTROYED

The farm home of Allen Sampson
was totally destroyed by fire early
Friday morning. The house was oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Lester Olsen
Mr.. Olsen built fire in the kitchen
stove and left the house to do the
chores. The stove pipe runs through
the summer\ kitchen roof and IL is
thought that the roof caught fire
from the stove pipe. The fire spread
very rapidly, but within fifteen min
utes after the fire started, no less
than Is neighbors were on the
ground to render assistance A great
deal of the household goods were re-
moved from the burning building,
all of which were new, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Olsen had Just commenced
housekeeping about the middle of
March. They are indeed very thank
full for the kind assistance rendered
by the neighbors. The contents
were incurred, as was also the house.
Saturday afternoon Is teams were
in town hauling lumber to the place
as Mr.. Sampson decided to rebuild
at once No time is being lost, and
Mr. and Mrs. Olsen will soon have a
new home. The farm is owned by
Mr.. Sampson and is located one and
a half miles north of Bethel church.
Mr.. Sampson is helping on the old
home place and for that reason rent
ed his own farm to Mr.. Olsen.

MISS sTEARNs is REELECTED

Miss Ella M. Stearns, who has
been superintendent of schools in
Audubon county the past eight
years, was reelected for a term OF
three years at the convention of the
presidents of the school boards of
Audubon county, held at the court
house, in this city Tuesday morning
The school boards in all of the
townships of the county were repres-
ented. From the first, there seemed
to be no opposition to the election
of Miss Stearns, and when the vote
was taken in the convention she re-
ceived all of them but one, which
was complimentary vote to Prof.
Hoyman of Extra.
Miss Stearns Is considered one OF
the very best superintendents in the
state of Iowa. She has enjoyed this
distinction many years and in the
state organization, she is freely con-
suited in all matters PERTAINING to
the welfare of the schools of our
state. 1t is indeed a high compli-
ment to Miss Stearns to be reelected
to this position under the new sys-
TEN. Perhaps no other superintend-
ent enjoys the confidence of the peo-
pie to the extent that Miss Stearns
does. No other superintendent works
more conscientiously than she, and,
because of her honesty of purpose,
she enjoys a reputation that falls to
the lot of few people who have served
in the capacity of public servants.

CLUB PLAY A SUCCESS

The home talent play given by the
Womans Club last Tuesday night al
the X. p. hall proved one of the real
live entertainments of the season
The program opened with the "Pink
Tea Party" little play full of pleas.
ing situations and plenty of real fun
1t was cleverly presented and ELECTED
generous applause.
After short intermission the "Col-
ored Suffragettes" was presented
Here a number of club women dis
tinguished themselves as artists. II
provoked no end of fun. Mrs. Ren
Phelps and Mrs. Booton distinguished
themselves remarkably in the parts
they took.
The entertainment was given 70

fit of the Free Public Rest Room
The Womans Club has stood by this
venture very faithfully during the
past year, and it can be said to their
credit that the Rest Room has more
than filled all expectations. The Club
will endeavor to continue the Rest
Room for at least another year.
More than two hundred attended
the entertainment and something
over $35 was realized which will be
used to help defray the expenses OF
the room. The members of this
Club are to congratulated for the
splendid entertainment they furnish
ed and for championing the cause

SOME DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY

New Sharon Star: Nearly all of
our exchanges are commenting on
the number of tramps visiting their
towns. We had purposely refrained
from Dragging on our leadership In
this matter but if the truth must be
told, we believe New Sharon is the
most popular city on the route of the
itinerant jobless men in Iowa. City
Marshall George Leitchtle has be-
come a regular hotelkeeper. AS many
as twenty-three tramps have been
given lodging at the city Jail in one
night, and from four to ten is an av-
erage number. They all have the
same story to tell of mo work to be
found" Few of them return sec
ond time, but move ON from town to
town living on the charity Of the pub
lie. They receive generous treatment
in New Sharon, being furnished fuel
and light at the expense of the city.
They sleep on hunks in the Jail cells,
on benches or floor. No work is re-
quired of them.

WHITE MAN WINS BIG FIGHT

Jess Willard, cowman from the
Sunfiower state, with the pep ana
ginger of youth and the buoyancy of
its strength and stamina. Monday at
Havana, Cuba, brought the title back
to the white race, in the heavy
weight pugilistic contest for the
championship of the world with Jack
johnson, the only black man to hold
the title which he successfully. de-
Tended for seven years. 1t was IN
the 26th round that the finale came
and the youth triumphed over the
veteran. Mid the bowling and pan
demonium which reigned when Will
lard sent Johnson to the floor with a
right hook to the Jaw, referee WEIGH
counted the ten fatal seconds which
spelled the coming of a new champ
ion and the passing of the old master
and, with it, the passing of the dom
nance of the black race in matters
pugilistic. 1t was a great fight and
was watched by men of all classes
and all ranks over the civilized
world.
Willard fought true to the dope,
wearing the negro out in the long
contest. The big black, unable to
stand the gaff of the long route, was
the victim of the grueling attacks OF
the Kansan, with his superior stay
ing power and stamina. Wizards
clean living, superior weight and
reach and his youth, told in the con-
test.

DISCOVER BODY OF A BABY

The body of dead infant, wrapped
in a copy of the Chicago Examiner of
March 29 over which was a covering
of brown wrapping paper, was found
a few days ago by Alex MCGUIRE, of
Perry, a rural mail carrier, whose
route brings him into Boone county.
1t was in this county, near the Lans-
ing farm and mile and a half south
of Berkeley that he saw the bundle
lying by the side of the road. Believ-
ing that it had fallen from some auto
mobile he left his horse for moment
to investigate. Unwrapping the bun
die he found the body of a male baby,
perfectly formed He Immediately
notified some farmers in that vicinity
and the find was reported to County
Attorney Canoe and County Coroner
Whithill, of this city at once. One OF
the township trustees was instructed
to give the babe a burial, No inquest
was held. The people of that COM
munity are greatly wrought up over
the occurance and feeling is bitter
against the parents whoever they may
be. Efforts are being made to learn
the identity of the parents and prose
cutions will follow.-Jeiferson Bee.

CHICAGO GOES REPUBLICAN

William Hale Thompson (Rep. }
was elected mayor of Chicago by 1879,
900 plurality over Robert M. SWEET
ger (Dem.).
Other city offices were won by Re-
publicans by about $4,000 plurality
and the city council is Republican for
the first time in several years. The
women's vote were divided between
the candidates in about the same pro-
portion as the mems in the residence
districts, where thousands of women
cast their first ballot There was lit
tie disorder. Several persons sus-
pected of voting more than once were
arrested. In a precinct in what for
merly was the segregated district a
man with $1,000 in 81 bills was ar
rested. An attempt to buy votes was
suspected. The man said he had the
money for betting purposes.
The result of the election points
to the trend of affairs politically.

ARE DIGGING THE SEWER

Early Monday morning a large
force of men commenced work on the
sewer system. The Lana Conctruc.
ton Co., have on the ground, ma
chimes for digging the bitches, and
plenty of help to push the work to
early completion. On account of the
condition of the ground, they are ex-
periencing some trouble with dirt
caving in, but as soon as the weather
settles they do not anticipate a great
deal of trouble from this source.
Work was commenced in the south
part of town in the street opposite
the. Nelson Dairy farm. The ditch
is something like nine feet deep at
this point. In other places it will
require a twenty-five foot ditch. The
sewer tile has been placed along the
roadway and from all appearances
there will be no let-up in activities
until the system has been completed.

REV. SMITH is RETURNED

At the annual conference of the
Evangelical church held at Luverne
Iowa, last week, Rev. Clinton F.
Smith was returned to this charge
for another year which will be pleas
ing news to the members of his con-
gregation as well as his friends out
side of the church. He has also been
elected Statistical secretary for the
Conference for a term OF two years
This means added responsibility and
work, but the reverend gentleman is
full of energy and he will fill the
position with credit to himself and
to the church.
He wishes us to state that he will
be in Audubon next Sunday to preach
in the morning and evening and at
Ross in the afternoon.

WILL BUILD NEW BAKERY

Audubon will have a new building
on Broadway early in the summer
and incidentally new bakery. Ii
plans now under foot dol not miscarry.
G. w. Preston who owns the build
ing now occupied by Mrs. Zelona
Kline will in all probability tear
down the old building and in its
stead erect a new brick building. The
room will be divided, one half to be
used as a bakery and the other half
will be occupied by Mrs. Kline for
her millinery store. AS soon as the
spring millinery season is over the
room will be vacated and work on the
new building will be commenced. In
all likelihood the building will be two
story, though at the present time no
one has arranged for the rooms in
the second story.

MANY HORSES ARE NEEDED

Train loads of horses are going
out of Iowa each week to be used in
Europe for war purposes. At first
the lighter horses were in demand
for cavalry use, but the last few
weeks heavier animals are being used
for the artillery branch of the SER
vice. AS the estimated life of war
horse is only ten days, 1t will require
great number to supply the de-
mand. AS there will be scarcity of
horses in this country at the rate
they are being shipped out, II is pre-
dicted we will have a. horseflesh
famine if the war continues another
six months, and that before the end
of the year good horse will cost as
much as some automobiles.

and have a thorough understanding

are undertaking. They are good,
honest young men and will make a
success if fair and square dealing
count for anything. They will also

cessories. The Republican wishes
them well and bespeaks for them a
fiourishing and remunerative bust
ness career.
