The position became critical. The
wind grew colder and colder. Our
men were cut off from the surround
ing world by impenetrable walls of
snow. There seemed to be no hope
Of rescue. But duty, that great word,
complaint or reproach was heard.
AT last we got orders to leave our
burrows above the clouds and de-
scend into the valley. We began the
incredibly difficult task of finding our
way down precipices coated thickly
with snow. The men followed one
another in single file in endless
chains. forcing their way through the
deep snow with their chests. From
time to time rifle shots were fired to
guide those behind.
only after a whole day of wander
ing did we manage to assemble again.

there, who helped us with the final

straps. We had done well. Despite
the incredible difficulties of the path
and mountain steeps-under such con-
ditions, too-not a man had persisted;

NO CLOCKS IN THIS PRISON
Oklahoma Convicts Go by Electric
Gongs Which Announce the
Divisions of Time.

McAlester, Okla. - After a trip
through the state penitentiary here
visitor realizes that he has seen no
clocks. Neither in the Administration
building, the rotunda nor cell houses
is there a time piece.
Recently a visitor without a watch
was escorted back to the administra-
ton rooms after a tour Of the prison.
He glanced at the walls looking for
a clock to see if he had time to catch
a car into the city. There was none.
why, where are your clocks? he
asked a trusty.
The man grinned.
I'VE don't need any. We all have
all the time we want here" he replied.
Then he added: Electric gongs an
nounce divisions of time-work, eat
and retire, according to the rings"

FINDS RING AFTER YEARS
Mrs. Stengle's Little Daughter Picks
Up Missing Jewelry In Melt
ing Snow.

Seaford, Del-A little more than
twenty-three years ago Mrs. George
E. NJ. Stengle lost a plain gold-band
ring with her initials in it. All efforts
on the part of several members of the
family and neighbors to find it were
futile. The other day while Ethel,
her nine-year-old daughter, was play
ing in the yard with sister, she no
ticed something shining in a spot
where snow was melting, and found
it was a ring. When she took it to
her mother it was quickly recognized
as the ring lost nearly quarter of a
century ago. In the time the ring
has been in the yard the ground has
been plowed and titled hundreds OF
times.

TO MAKE SILK FROM BANANAS
Brazilian lnvents Process OF Manufac-
ture Which Changes Fruit
Fiber.

Rio De Janeiro.-Interest has been
aroused here over the announcement
of the invention of a method Of manu-
featuring artificial silk from the fiber
Of the banana plant. The invention.
which was perfected by Sr. Adalberto
Vega, consists of a chemical treat
ment of the banana palm in such a
manner that the plant fiber is reduced
to a gum, from which is spun a fine,
elastic. a floss that has all the qualities
of natural silk. 1t Is claimed, also,
that a cellulose suitable for the manu-.
facture of paper. celluloid and gum OF
tannin are by-products of the artificial
silk process.

Russian Officer Tells Of the Suffering
Endured by the Soldiers In Descent
From Snowclad Peaks Be-
fore koprikeui.

Petrograd.-The successful campaign
of the Russians against the Turks in
Asia Minor has been carried out under
frightful weather conditions.
Some of the hardships suffered by
the soldiers may be understood from
the following narrative by an officer
OF the descent of his men from the
snowclad peaks before Koprikeui:
I'VE held a position on the summit
of Mount -, which rises nearly
eleven thousand feet above sea level.
Every morning there was a strong
wind, which drove before it masses of
snow, and drifted up our positions to
a depth of from ten to fifteen feet.
Our shelters, huts and kitchens were
all buried in snow. The wind was so
fierce that most Of our huts were al.
most blown to pieces, though they
were held together by wire.
This blizzard lasted for days, for
weeks, and it was impossible to keep
the huts clear. If you shifted one
spadeful Of snow, as likely as not the
wind would fling into it's place two or
three times the quantity. For whole
days together we were dependent on
artificial light. No one so much as
thought of warm food during those
days. Not only were our kitchens
buried In snow, but we had no other
means of heating water. The hurri
cane howled and whistled through our
earth huts. and prevented US from
lighting the stoves which had been
placed In them. II one of them was
lighted the wind filled the hut with
smoke. and the door had to be
opened to prevent suffocation. Our
lairs grew damp, cold and cheerless

WILLIAMs-LILE HEREFORDs

A representative of this paper had
the pleasure Saturday of calling at
the Elkanah Williams stock farm in
Greeley township, and being shown
the pure bred Hereford herd owned
by Mr.. Williams and w. II. Lille. Mr..
Williams has the distinction of be-
ing the first raiser of pure bred Here
ford cattle in Audubon county, Sc
curing his first registered Hereford
twenty years ago. He has been a
very successful stockman, and has
succeeded in building up an excellent
herd. A few years ago, he formed
"a partnership with w. Fl. Lille. These
gentlemen will hold pure bred
Hereford cattle sale in the pavilion
at the Audubon County fair grounds
October 14th. They expect to put
seventy head of cattle into the ring.
This offering will include many of
the choicest animals in the herd. Two
of the best bulls in this section stand
at the head of this herd. They are
Distinction III, and Bonnie Brae 65th.
The former is of double Disturber
breeding, and all Hereford admirers
know the value of the Disturber
strain. Bonnie Brae 65th is closely
related to the Bonnie Brae S11,100
bull owned by o. Harris of Harris.
Missouri. Both are fine specimens
of the breed. Bonnie Brae 65th will
be one of the offering to be sold Oct
ober 14th.

WARM WEATHER DURING JULY

George E. Kellogg, who keeps a
daily record of the local weather con-
ditions for the u. s. Department of
Agriculture, Weather Bureau, Tues
day completed his report for the
month of July. All of Audubon coun-
ty has been sweltering from the ex-
IRENE heat during the month, and a
brief synopsis of the report of Mr..
Kellogg's will no doubt be of inter-
est. The average maxium temper
ature during the month of July was
"a degrees fahrenheit. In July 1915 the
average maxium temperature was 81,
and in July 1914, SO degrees. The
highest point reached by the Their
mometer was 100 degrees on the 18th
and 25th of July. On the 18th, 28th,
29th, and both, the maximum temper
allure was 80 degrees. Only on four
days, the 4th, 18th, 18th, and goth,
did the thermometer register a max
imum temperature of less than 90
degrees.
The total precipitation during the
month was .43 inches. The greatest
precipitation in twenty-four hours
was 80 inches on the 18th. The pre-
vailing winds were from the south,
southeast and southwest. Thunder
storms were recorded on the 4th, 18th
and 10Th.

KLEUvER FOUND NOT GUILTY

Last Thursday the case of State
of Iowa VS. Chris Kleuver was tried
before Justice of the Peace, A. III.
Edwards. Mr.. Kleuver was charged
with having committed an assault
and battery upon Miller Kyndersen
some time about July 18th. The
parties own land adjoining each 9TH
er few miles southwest of Audubon
and the trouble arose over the fact
that Kyndersen was going over land
belonging to Kleuver. Henderson
claimed that for many years the trav-
eel had gone over this land and claim
ed the right to follow the old track
II seems that an attorney had advised
him that he had a right to do so and
that Kleuver had no right to inter-
tere. Acting on this advice and in
defiance to the warning of Kleuver
to cease travel he continued to use
the way to go across. When Kleuver
attempted to stop him a fight was the
result in which Henderson claims that
Kleuver was the aggressor as well as
the winner. A large number of wit
nesses were in attendance. At the
conclusion of the evidence the Justice
entered judgment, dismissing the
charge and taxed the costs to Audi
bon County. Justice Edwards re-
marked that the evidence showed
that Kleuver was on his own prem
Uses and that Henderson was a tres
passer and had no right to be there
and that he could be elected. He
further remarked that the evidence
showed that Kyndersen was the ag-
gressor and started the fight. The de-
PENDANT was represented by Mantz &
White and the state by the county
attorney.

CAUSE OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS

The rapid spread of infantile par
|alysis not only in New York and 9TH
er states, but right here in Iowa, has
caused more or less alarm every
where. One of the readers of the
Audubon Republican noticed the fol-
lowing clipping in one of the city
papers recently, and asked us to pub
fish it for it came from a physician
and gives some facts that ought to
be widely circulated. The article fol-
lows:
II noticed some time back your
splendid editorial on the epidemic of
infantile paralysis, and as l have had
much experience with spinal menin-
gifts and infantile paralysis feel sure
the cause is the same. l found that
it was ammonia poisoning. Each
place where / found the disease l
found drainage from some livery
barn near or else a dairy, and that
the epidemic usually occurs in warm
weather and dryer following the wet.
The ammonia was carried under paw
ed streets by the rain and the sun
shine could not reach it, and it could
form vast amounts of this in the filth
from the streets, and it usually pen
etrated the very often rusty water
pipes and thus got into the water
supply, and often came out into the
air and we breathe it. In one case
there was well under house near
a dairy. This water in the well was
saturated with the ammonia. This
excessive amount of ammonia satur-
ates the blood, and when it goes to
the kidneys to be eliminated it unites
with the acid and forms thick dan
gerous salt which clogs the kidneys,
then it backs into the blood and pois-
ons and excites entire nervous sys-
tenn. When the blood is thicker in
the winter time and the perspiring
glands are not free it produces spinal
meningitis, but in the late spring and
summer when the perspiring glands
are freer and the kidneys are freer
and the blood is thinner 1t irritates
the inner lining of the heart, nose
and throat; this causes an excessive
excitement of the heart and makes a
congestion at the base of the brain
and the first, second and third ribs,
where the heart fibers come off and
also the nerves to the nose and
throat. This chokes the circulation
from the brain in the young children
who are usually overfed for the
amount of exercise they take, and
causes paralysis.
A pressure on the kidneys will
numb the nerves and cause them to
expand and rapidly empty these i'm
purities out of the system, and is the
best remedy known. The free use
OF boiled or distilled water is urged.
as 1t drives the ammonia out of the
system and pure air and fruits and
light feeding and plenty of exercise
are the surest preventives."

A THOROUGH TEST
One To Convince the Most Skeptical
Audubon Reader

AuOuDOn hcducT
The test of time is the test that
counts.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made
their reputation by effective action.

The testimony is confirmed-the
proof complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig-
nored.
e. M. Johnson, prop. garage and
blacksmith shop, Audubon, Says,
1--WE usually have Doan's Kidney
Pills in the house and have found
them beneficial for lame back and
weak kidneys. We think that Doan's
Kidney Pills are all right and never
fail to suggest them to anyone suffer
ing from lumbago. They act prompt
ly and strengthen the kidneys when
other incidence prove Ineffective. We
generally get Doan's Kidney Pills at
the Prick Drug Co."
The above statement was given on
June %, 1910, and on November 10,
1915, Mr.. johnson said. 81 have used
Doan's Kidney Pills and have found
them good for all that they are rep
resented to do. The statement / gave
some years ago in their praise still
holds good"
