Last Sunday the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rasmus Rasmussen, seven and
a half miles southwest of Audubon,
was the scene of much merriment.
More than a hundred relatives and
friends gathered at the home to help
celebrate their silver wedding. A
sumptuous dinner was served to
which all did ample justice. After
the dinner hour, the time was spent
in social conversation and a delight
full talk by Rev. H. l.. Jensen, pastor
of BAHAMA church, was enjoyed.
per and in fact it was late at night
before all had departed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rasmussen are
among our best progressive farmers.
They have enjoyed prosperity which
has come to them by hard and in
dustrious labor. They have happy
family and this occasion was one that

Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Rasmussen were married by John
Fredericksen, a justice of the peace
in Sharon township. During all
these years they have enjoyed the
confidence and association of close
friends and the esteem in which they
are held is best attested by the large
number of presents given them on
this anniversary occasion.

idly spreading over the state of Iowa.
Business men are going out to preach
the gospel and in this way they hope
to reach class of people who are not
regular church attendants. This move
ment is the result of the Billy Sun

THE CoLoRED sUFFRAGETTEs

Rumor has 1t that fifteen Audubon
ladies will invest in liberal amount
of burnt cork and carmine to give to
the public a realistic presentation
of the humorous farce 1.-THE Colored
Suffragettes," which is to be only a
small part of an evening of fun for
the benefit of the free public rest
room
Two plays and a speciality act at
the popular price of Csc will give
everybody the worth of their money
III fIa AID ut the same tim give
them the satisfaction of helping sup
port a convenience for the visitors
who come to our little city.
Among the visitors at the rest
room are quite number from neigh
boring towns. These visitors invar-
iably remark on the progressiveness
OF the town as indicated by this pub
H. utility, and at least one town IS
going to profit by our example.
Guthrie Center wants to know how
we started the ball rolling that pro-
vided the ways and means for the
initial expense and what plan is
used to provide matron. There are
probably very few who know that
the rest room has been kept open
each day for year by volunteer ma
irons. The committee in charge.haye
been such good managers and indie
fatigable workers that only two days
have found the rest room closed to
the public and this emed absolute
ly unavoidable This surely is a
commendable record.
The. rest room is open each day
from 1880 to $3.50 p. m. A matron
Is always in charge and she furnishes
clean towels for the day and serves.
A comfortable couch, baby's bed and
plenty of rockers make this rest
ing place while waiting for trains
or conveyances of any kind. The
room is we'll heated and toilet con-
veniences kept in sanitary condi-
ton. Visitors are made welcome and
every effort expended to make their
stay at the public rest room pleasant

T1EAEEl ~ NSDE ILL
MORALS SQUAD
Chief Healey today admitted to a
Day Book reporter that he was going
to make an investigation into the Of
flee of Major Funkheuser, second
deputy of police.
Healey said the investigation would
be made as a result of the reports
submitted to him of extravagances
practiced by stool pigeons connected
with the morals squad.
The reports which the chief re-
ceived indicates that these stool
pigeons have been allowed to spend a
large amount of the city's money on
wine, women and song"
This is the latest wallop received
by the major, who has been the re-
cipient of many wallops since Mayor
THOMPSON upon taking Office first an
fnounced that he would not tolerate
the wild raids made by the morals
squad upon the recommendation of
! stool pigeons
, Just how far the stool pigeons will
sometimes go is shown in stories that
have been told in the morals court
by women under oath.
These women have told how the
stool pigeons bought large quantities
of wine and otherwise enjoyed them
selves at the expense of the city.
Healey intimated that the inVesti-
cation will be started Immediately.
All top-heavy expense accounts turn
ed in by the stool pigeons from the
beginning of the morals squad will be
closely looked into and the man
found guilty of padding expense ac-
counts or throwing city money away
on wine and women in the redlight
district will be fired summary.
1T isn't necessary for investigators
to spend money like Pittsburgh mil
1ionaire on redlight wine parties and
taxicabs and 1 intend to make short
work of it, said Healey.

EMPL oYMENT AGENTS HIT BY
STATE INSPECTOR

STATE INSPECTOR
Labor agencies who have been con-
Quoting shady business are quaking
in their boots, the result of bomb
dropped today by Richard Knight,
state inspector of employment
agencies.
Knight made the immigration Land
and Labor Bureau, 1850 S. Blue
Island av., come across with LOO
of iIly-gotten fees while its head, AL
bert Rose, pleaded guilty to charges
of getting fees without procuring
jobs and with not keeping his books
in the desired fashion.
Shortly after the first bomb drop
ped there came another. Mrs. Mary
Trout and Walter Paul of the Globe
agency, Root and Halsted sts., were
taken in tow by Knights Office for
running without a license. Knight
lifted this license a month ago, but
the Globe kept doing business.
Getting evidence against Rose was
tedious work Knight put Inspector
Charles Miller on the job. Miller did
not have much to start with, but he
delivered the goods-in no uncertain
bundle.
Now that the labor agencies realize
that Knights office do more than
make threats, it is believed there will
be better behavior among those who
we're inclined to step over the mark
to make little easy coin.
Knight finds his greatest handicap
is the ones who make complaints.
They come to him with tales of woe,
but when the time for action arrives
they are missing. Of more than 100
who had complaints. against Albert
Ross but one showed up at the Max
well police station today to take the
witness stand.
