CITY COUNCIL MEETS

The regular monthly meeting of
the city council was held at the
council chamber Monday evening.
The regular routine of business was
transacted. So much special bust
ness had been presented that the
council adjourned to meet again on
Tuesday evening to consider q num-
Der of petitions that had been pre-
sented. vs. r.. ~.
Tuesday evening they tok up the
matter of the petition of the prop
erty owners calling for the removal
of the oil tanks of the Standard OIL
Company and of the Cedar Rapids
Oil Co. from their present location
to some place outside the city linn
its. The fire that consumed the en-
tire plant of the Cedar Rapids Oil
Co., last Wednesday was responsible
for the petition. From the fact that
the council took action on 1t and
with the demand made in the petit
ton. This ordinance was read for
the first time and will have to be
read three times before 1t can be
passed and published.
The petition for ordering paving
on Broadway and South Park streets
was then considered. A very large
majority of the property owners sign
ed this petition and the. council will
take the matter up with the Com
mercial Club at the next regular
meeting. The matter will likely be
referred to the street and alley COM
mittee and that committee will act
with the committee appointed by the
Commercial Club.
Considerable preparations will
have to be made before any paving
can be done. but from present In
dications one would surmise that
Audubon would have paved streets
before snow flies. &

AUDUBON PEOPLE SHOT

No less than q hundred Audubon
people were shot on Broadway Tues
day morning. The shooting was not
done by German or British gun,
but by Bolick. the wizard of the
camera. That same evening the pic
lures of the people who had been
shot, were shown ON the screen at the
Gem theatre. This same Bolick crea-
ted considerable fun and amusement
last year when a similar affair was
pulled of at the Gem. In addition
to showing Audubon people ON the
screen, Mr.. Hoover presented three
live and fascinating films. The local
pictures were kept to the last. The
demand for admission was 20 great
that 1t required three shows during
the evening to accommodates the peo-
pie.
Wednesday night the same pro-
gram was carried ont with Q COM
plete change OF pictures and films.
The demand for admission was even
greater than the first night.
Tonight the Gem will be crowded
to capacity again to witness the 9Th
episode Of the Exploits OF Elaine.
This story is proving strong draw
ing card and Mr.. Hoover IL greatly
pleased with the manner IN which tho
publuic is responding to his endeavor
to give only the very best in motion
pictures.

A large and enthusiastic audience
heard Miss Gertru0e Cneverton Of
Des Moines in her concert ct the n.
e. church last Thursday evening. She
is woman of remarkable ability and
pleasing personality. Her voice Is
well trained and she used 1t to good
advantage in rendering many dim

gram. Audubon people In general
were highly pleased with her work
and all were convinced that she had
q bright future before her. Miss
Cheverton IL also reader Of con-
siderable note and pleased the audi
ence very much with the selections
she rendered. #
A number of Audubon people who
are musically inclined intended to
secure Miss Cheverton to give music
lessons here. A large class and
agreed to take voice culture Il she
would come. They have been some
what disappointed as Miss ChevertOn
has contracted to do chautauQua work
during the summer months and will
not be able to take up class work un-
til after the first Of next September.
At that time she has agreed to come
to Audubon provided the people here

GROWTH OF FREE
PUBLIC LIBRARIES

A wonderfully strong and health
full library sentiment 10 growing In
Iowa. 1t is stronger today than ever
before. The Iowa library commission
began its work In 1900. At that time
there were in the state forty-one free
public libraries. This number has in
creased to more than 126. In 1900
there were four library buildings In
the state. Today there are more than
one hundred. Andrey Carnegie has
given to Iowa communities m aggre-
gate of nearly one million dollars for
free public library buildings.
In fifteen cities in which free pub
lie libraries are maintained townships
adjoining have voted Q amall tar
levy, which they are specifically auth
orized to do by state law, for the sup
port Of these Libraries In exchange for
the same privileges Of use that are
accorded the residents of the cities
owning the Libraries. Onawa and
Clarinda lead in this outside territory
support. Clarinda has q little more
than four townships united in sup
port of her library outside the city.
Onawa has four full townships sup.
porting the library.
All but about ten of the county
seats In Iowa now have free public
libraries and 1t Is confidently expect
ed that within short time the last
one of these will have swung into
line. There is not q single recorded
instance where Q community has re-
fused to support library after It had
been established by Q vote Of the peo-
pie. The library justiiss its exist
ance. A brief trial always convinces
those who at first oppose that Il is
worth more than It costs. <

have libraries then are going to find
themselves handicapped BY the towns
which have been enterprising and pro-
gressive enough to anticipate the de-
velopment of interest In this subject.
Moreover, the Carnegie library fund
may be taxed to such point then
that 1t will not be possible to secure
free funds for buildings for the mere
voting tax for a support fund. ~ 1t

FORMERLY LIVED IN AUDUBON

Friends in this city have Just re-
ceived word from Mrs. R. M. Carpen-
ter Of Aberdeen, 8. D., that she was
operated ON recently. A physician
from Minneapolis went to Aberdeen
to do the operation which resulted
In the removal of twelve large gall
stones. A number OF adhesions were
also found. Latest reports are that
the lady IL recovering nicely.
The letter also stated that their
daughter Maurene who was teaching
at Redfield has been elected to o pos
ition In the Aberdeen schools. Many

citizens Of this town q number Of
years ago. Mr.. Carpenter was at one
time County Superintendent of

Advocate and later served az post

answer is found in the fact that
