OLD SOLDIER IS
). REMEMBERED
Daughter Gives a Delightful Party In
Honor of Her Aged Fathers
Birthday Anniversary

w. II. Bowman, a veteran of the
Civil war, celebrated his eighty-third
birthday at the home of his daughter
Mrs. G. H. Wilde, Thursday afternoon
of last week. The affair was in the
nature of surprise and to carry out
her plans, Mrs. Wilde HE'D her father
to Ross during the early part of the
afternoon to permit her to decorate
the home in the national colors.
The delightful home was artistical-
ly decorated from the front porch to
the kitchen, with flags, bunting and
other decorations in red, white and
blue. In the large window of the
sitting room were the letters 1851"
and in the parlor were the letters &c.
A. r." both worked out in the red,
white and blue color scheme. The
center table and DINING room table
were covered with large flag designs
and in every room were large festoons
of decorating material. The home
presented a very attractive appear
ance and proved a special delight to
the members of the Audubon and Ex-
ira G. A. r. who had been invited as
guests of Mr.. Bowman.
The afternoon hours were agreeab-
ly spent by these old veterans who
took much pleasure and delight in
recalling incidents of the great con-
flict through which they had passed.
There are many bonds that unite peo-
pie, but no bonds seem stronger or
more enduring than the bonds that
unite the survivors of the war of the
rebellion. At five-thirty a splendid
supper was served, after which a num-
Der remained to spend a social hour
The Extra guests came on the noon
train and Mr.. Wilde provided auto
mobiles for them to return home

COUNTY WINS HONORs

In addition to Fred SEWERS win
ming the grand championship on his
Poland China boar. Audubon county
has won many honors at the state
fair this year. All of those showing
herds from this county were placed
among the winners. Nels Jensen of
near Extra, who is showing some of
his prize winning Poland Chinas, we
learn, won some first premium rib
bons.
On Durocs, w. Fl. Johnston, who
has big herd there, won first prem
ium on his senior yearling herd boar,
Kamo Colonel, and several other rib
bons on his other animals. Madison
Spencer, who has large showing Of
his Durocs at the fair this year, also
placed first in several classes. Last
year, he won the grand champion
ship on his boar, which he after
wards lost. We understand that the
Duroc show this year is much larger
than any ever held at the state fair,
there being over fifty herds repre-
scented. When it comes to raising
prize winning live stock, Audubon
county takes front rank in the state.

TWO GIANTS ARE
TO MEET HERE
Two Contenders for GOtch's Worlds
Championship to Wrestle Last
Night of County Fair

Harry Carey of Anita, who is pro-
noting and staging the big wrestling
match between Earl Caddock and
John Freberg, which will be held in
Audubon the night of September Is,
was in Audubon this week, and made
arrangements with +. w. Smith to
sell tickets. Several from here were
in Alta tic Monday night and met
Caddock, and he stated to them that
he expected it to be the hardest match
that he had ever had. Much interest
is being shown all over the country
in regard to this match, and Mr.. Car
ey stated that they expected to have
a very large crowd here. Everyone
here knows the ability of Caddock as
a wrestler, so few lines in regard
to Freberg would not be amiss. The
following is taken from the Battle
Creek Enquirer:
John Freberg, the giant Swede
who meets Paul Martinson at the
Post theater Wednesday evening,
arrived in Battle Creek early yester-
day, looking in perfect physical con-
dition for a long, hard grind. FIRE.
berg declared himself to be in the
best condition of his carr er. He will
weigh about 220 pounds when he
takes the mat.
John has made a most wonder
full record on the mat during the past
season, losing but one match and that
to Joe Stecher at Chicago about five
weeks ago. He has shown great i'm
provement in the past five or six
months and now believes himself
worthy opponent for any man in the
world.
ITO what do you attribute your
defeat at the hands of Stecher," he
was asked.
II really don't know. Personally
think I am better man above the
hips than is Stecher.l / am far more
powerful in my arms, neck and
shoulder than he is and am conceded
to be more clever grappler. l see
no reason why / shouldn't have beat
him easily, but / didn't. l would
greatly welcome another chance at

the Nebraska marvel"

the Nebraska marvel.
Despite the fact that he was de-
feated in short order by Stecher, FIRE.
berg has championship aspirations
and believes that within the next two
or three " } he will be the sole
claimant to the heavyweight crown.
He has met and defeated some of the
best men in the game during the
past season and is seeking matches
with Cutler, ZybsZko, Stranger Lew
is and Aberg at the present time.
Contrary to the general belief, Ere
berg is married man, residing in
Chicago. He has one son five years
old and takes great pride in his home
life. He is probably one of the clev-
est heavyweights in the game, hav-
ing no bad habits whatever. He can
not ever be enticed to play in a
friendly game of pocket billiards, re-
fusing in polite manner by saying
that he enjoys the fresh air far more
than the stuffy rooms of billiard par
lors."
Relative to his match with Mar
tinson, he had little to say other than
that he was in fine condition and con-
fident that he would be the winner.
This match is going to the limit.
/ will not allow Martinson to quit at
any time limit of two hours and 80
minutes. l didn't know about any
such rules when / was here before
and will insist that this match be to
the finish, whether it lasts five min
utes or all night.

TO HAVE AMES EXHIBIT

The Iowa State Agricultural Col
lege has an excellent exhibit which
they are putting out to a admitted num-
Der OF county fairs in the state, pro-
viding a suitable contract can be en-
tered into. Following considerable
it was possible to Sc
cure this exhibit for the fair here,
and visitors to the fair ground should
make it point to look up this ex-
hibit, which will be found in the
north part of the chicken house. An
other big state exhibit, which is
promised to be here, is that of the
State Fish and Game department, and
comprises large number of live, and
rare game birds and phesants. This
is very beautiful and instructive ex-
hibit and should be of much interest
to all fair visitors.
Prospects are very good for large
showing of Shetland ponies, which
should be of great interest to the
children. On Tuesday, which is
Childrens' Day, a Shetland pony race
of quarter of a mile will be run.
No Shetland pony over forty-six
inches in height is eligible.

DAVID HARUM
SHOWN TONIGHT
This Famous Paramount Production
To BE Shown at The Crescent
Theatre Tonight

David Harum," although almost
too well known for lengthy descrip-
ton, is an old country banker, ury,
quaint character, but possessing an
amazing amount OF knowledge not
round IN printed books. This know
ieuge OF the world and human ma
ture in general makes David great
power i'll MS community, and his in
sight into financial matters and clev-
er PHILOSOPHERS of life and humanity
make him an authority in matters of
business and horse-trading, of which
he is postmaster He holds fast to
the cheerful belief that there is moth
ing wholly bad or useless in this
world. This horse-trading country
banker and reputed Shylock, but real
philanthropist, is an accurate protray-
al OF a type that still exists in the
rural districts of Central New York,
or possibly in every countritled vicin-
ity throughout the country. Varia-
tions of him may been seen daily,
driving about in their road wagons
or seated in their back parlors,"
shrewd, sharp-tongued, honest as the
sunlight from most points of view,
but in a horse-trade much inclined to
follow the rule laid down by Mr..
Harum himself for such transactions:
DO unto the other fellow the way
he'd like to do unto you-and do it
fust!"
The genial humor and sunny at
mosphere that prevade the drama
are in sharp contrast to the exciting
counterfeiters' plot that forms one of
the threads of the story, and the de-
lightful romance of David's adopted
son, John Lennox, whom David loves
like a father, and whom he guards
from harm and cleyerly saves from
the malice of his plotting enemies
who are trapped by the calculating
David in the snare they had set for
John.

RETURN HERE THIS WEEK

Mr.. and Mrs. e. j. Freeman are
expected to return to Audubon the
latter part of this week to visit their
daughter. Mrs. Frank Berman, and

LOCATES ELSEWHERE

DR.. A. Andersen Rhonalt, the ply
stefan who recently located in Audu-
bon, and opened up Office rooms over
the Wilson C Freeman grocery store,
has decided not to remain here, and
is preparing to move to Coulter, Ia,
where he found an exceptionally good
opening. Coulter is without a ply
stefan at the present time, and being
"a strong Danish community quickly
decided DR.. Rhonalt to locate there.
During his brief residence in Audu-
bon, DIR. Rhonalt made many warm
friends, who regret his decision to
leave here, and who wish him success
in his new field.

GEORGE ROTH BADLY BURNED

Geo. Roth was quite severely burn
ed on the right arm, neck and ear
yesterday morning, when gasoline
stove exploded in the home of his
mother, Mrs. Lottie Roth. After the
stove exploded George and his broth
err, Henry, attempted to carry it
outdoors. In doing so, considerable
gasoline was spilled upon George, and
the sleeve of his shirt caught fire.
Henry had the presence of mind to
run and get a piece of carpet and
wrap it about George, thus extin-
gushing the flames and preventing
them from burning him more severe
ly. AS it was, almost his entire right
arm is quite badly burned, but not
deep. He has been suffering much
pain, and it will be some time before
he can resume his work at the Nc
Cort meat market. 1t is very unfor-
tunate accident for George, and it
is trusted that he will fully recover
soon.

AUDUBON COUNTY
REAL ESTATE ADVANCING

The price of farm land in Audubon
county is steadily advancing, and we
believe that it is the best investment
still to be found in real estate. No
anywhere, situated in the greatest
agricultural state in the union. The
past week, Fred Dettman sold his
farm of $50 acres, located about nine
miles northeast of Audubon to Clevie
Bamsey, the consideration being
$1,000 per acre. We understand
that Mr.. Dettman bought this farm
about ten years ago paying $1,000
per acre for the same. : !
