cided to enter the race for county
clerk. He has filed his nomination
papers and will be candidate ON the

the June primary.
Mr.. Horning has lived in this city
practically all of his lifetime. He is
a graduate of the Audubon High
school. later taking advanced work
at Coe College, Cedar Rapids and the
University of Nebraska, at Lincoln,
so his education fits him admirably
for this position. He is familiar with
the work of the Office having served
during 1909, 1910 and 1911 as de-
putty under l.. A. McGinnis.
Mr.. Horning asks the Republicans
of the county TO give him the consid-
Grafton his candidacy merits and If
nominated he will make a strenuous
campaign with the hope of being sue
cessful at the fall election.
John" as he is Familiarity called
has a wide acquaintance in Audubon
county and If he is given the nomina-
ton he will no doubt be elected. He
is hard and Industrious worker and
no candidate in the field will work
more faithfully than he to be success
full in November

INSANE MAN CAUGHT
IN EXTRA SATURDAY

T. Fl. Armstrong, man about
thirty-five years of age was taken up
at Extra last Saturday afternoon. He
acted queerly and was so irrational
In all OF his manners that the county
officials were informed of the state of
affairs. He was brought to Audubon
and given a hearing before the COM
missioners of insanity.
At this hearing 1t developed that
the fellow had at one time been an
inmate OF an asylum in the state OF
Washington. His greatest difficulty
seems to be his peculiar kind of re-
iigion, and on this subject he was un-
questionably insane. lie did not wear
a hat because his religious faith
would not permit him. He claimed
to be, going through the country
preaching and made his living from
the free will offering of the people.
The commissioners adjudged the
man insane and ordered him sent to
Clarinda where he was taken Satur-
day evening by Sheriff Sunberg and
H.. A. Northup. Armstrong came to
Extra as floater and this county
will be obliged to foot the bill of ex-
pense unless he can be traced to some
other county where he had gained a
legal residence. Nothing is known of
him or his relatives,

MIR. STARBUCIk TO GIVE THE
COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS

Mr.. Edwin Diller Starbuck. profess
|sor of philosophy at the State Uni
|versity, is to give the commencement
address this year. Mr.. Starbuck has
gained an enviable reputation for
himself as lecturer and writer, and
Audubon is fortunate in having a
man of his attachments give an adj
dress here. Mr.. Starbuck gives con-
siderable portion of his time to lect-
uring, and most favorable reports
have come from the east and from
points in the middle west concerning
his platform ability. Commencement
comes on Friday, June End this year.
The class play for this year has
been selected, and the class has begun
to work it out. 1.-THE Hoodoo" is the
name of the play. The story of the
play centers about the possession of
an old Egyptian scarab, which brings
bad luck TO the owner under certain
conditions. Various peculiar and
funny situations are developed as the
scarab passes from one person to an
other.

WILL HAVE TO voIR
ADDITIONAL BONDS

At a meeting of the school board
held the fore part of the week IL was
decided that it would be necessary
to ask for more bonds in order to
build the new school house.
Bids for the new building were re-
Gently received, but owing to the ad-
vance in all kinds of material enter
ing into building of this kind, the
appropriation was not sufficient to
erect the building according to the
plans and specifications. II was at
first thought that the plans could be
changed in order to meet the defic-
iency, but this cannot be done as the
changes would be too great, thereby
destroying the entire plans.
The members of the school board
feel that the people of the district
would prefer to put in more money
than to sacrifice the entire building
for the plans call for nothing more
than the anticipated needs OF the
community. 1t is quite probable that
an election to vote on the matter will
be held within the next thirty days

CITY SETTLES FOR SEWERS

Warren M. Wells, of Council Bluffs
representing the Lana Construction
Company, was in the city yesterday
to make settlement with the city for
the sewer system that was installed
here last year. Thus far everything
in connection with the sewer has pro-
ven satisfactory and there is no ap-
parent reason why there should be
any trouble in the future. The Lana
people are absolutely reliable and
they will at all times make their guar
antee good.
Mr.. Wells for several years was the
auditor of Guthrie county and later
held position as one of the examin.
ers of county officers. He was here
last year and assisted in examining
the books at the court house. Soon
after leaving here he accepted his
present position. While here he
found time to visit at the Geo. Law
home. His mother was Mrs. Law who
died recently.

PRESIDENT WILSON SENDS
ULTIMATUM TO GERMANY

President Wilson's long expected
warning to Germany that the United
States will break off diplomatic rela-
lions unless she abandons her pres
|ent methods of submarine warfare
and Immediately declares her inten-
ton to do so was delivered today in
a note to Berlin and also was announ-
ced by the president in an address to
a joint session of congress.
The president considers that the
next step depends solely upon Ger
many and that three or four days con-
stitute a reasonable time for reply.
Diplomatic history records but one
instance as yet where breaking of
relations between two first class pow
ers has not eventually brought war
that which now exists between Ger
many and Italy.

SATURDAY ANNIVERSARY
OF LINCOLN'S DEATH

Fifty-one years ago Saturday. at z
o'clock in the morning, the an
nouncement was made of the death
of Abraham Lincoln. There are many
of the older people here who remem-
Der the horror that overspread the
country when the knowledge came
that Lincoln had been shot. His as
sassination occurred the night Of APP
ril IA, but he fingered until q. m.
on the 18th. Booth, the assassin,
shot Lincoln as the latter was in his
box at the Ford theatre enjoying the
production by Laura Keene and her
company of "Our American Cousin. :"
Those were troublesome times and
those who remember them all have a
decided recollection of the sentiments
that overcame those of the north.
