STILL MAKING GOOD

Mrs. Sarah Kennedy, of Wichita
who for several years past has been
furnishing the Republican with a
yearly report of her success with the
woman's end of the farm business,
has again made her yearly report as
follows:
IL will try and give you my troubles
for 1915 and what l received for same
in butter, eggs and poultry. From ten
cows I received $507.9l in cash. this
being beside what was used in the
home for table use. II was churned
by hand and delivered in Audubon TO

CITY LIBRARY VERY POPULAR

That the city library is a very, pop
ular institution Is evidenced by the
fact that with each succeeding year
the circulation of books grows with
leaps and bounds. When the report
was made in 1914 Il was discovered
that the circulation OF books for the
year had been 13,S0S and those
most interested in the establishment
of the library were greatly elated oy-
er the splendid showing The report
for 1915 was recently filed and the
records show that the circulation for
the year had been 1857 an in
crease Of 1851 over the previous
year. This is startling showing and
cannot help but convince folks that
the free library is in fact patronized
beyond the fondest expectations.
Some 472 new volumes have been
added during the past year and the
librarian, Mrs. Laura Delahoyde.
states that the selection of reading
matter in the Audubon library is
equal to that of some of the larger
cities and is so recognized by many
who have occasion to visit other
cities and towns.

NEW BRICK BUILDING

c. v. Christensen who purchased
the old frame building on Broadway
for several years occupied by Mrs
z,lona Kline, with her millinery
store, is tearing the building down
and will use most of the dimension
stuff in the erection of some build
ings on vacant lots that he owns in
the east part of town. The building
was owned by Don Preston who sold
1t to Mr.. Kline but he in turn soio
IL to Mr.. christensen.
In the place of the old frame build
ing there will be erected a modern
new building by Mr.. Preston. We un-
derstand the room will be fitted up
in the most up to date style and that
Carl Hoover. manager of the Gem
Theatre has rented the room for a
term Of years and on its completion

TO RETIRE FROM BUSINESS
After Eighteen Years of Active Bust
ness In One Location VIII Retire
on February First

Hans Albertsen who for eighteen
| years has been in the grocery bust
ness in the same location, will retire
from the business on the first OF
next February. Some months ago Mr.
Albertsen sold his business to Hans
johnson, OF Hamlin who will take
possession when the invoicing is COM
pleted after the first of next month.
Mr.. Albertsen commenced his gro
Gerry career with +. A. Buthweg, for
whom he worked for six years. He
then became owner of the business
and for twelve years conducted il
with great success. He understands
the business thoroughly, and would
not think of retiring, were it not for
his impaired health. After a rest he
may again enter business of some
kind, but as yet has made no definite
plans for the future.
Mr.. Johnson, his successor, has
had many years of business training
and will no doubt conduct the bust
ness in thesame efficient manner.
He is well known, and during the
years he has been in business in
Hamlin, made a wide acquaintance
that will be of great benefit to him.
He is a wide awake hustler. and will
be valuable addition to the business
interests of the town.
We understand that change in
the sales force will also take place
Arthur Horning who has been with
Mr.. Albertsen the past two years will
resign the first of the month and will
enter the employ of Evans Marquee
sen.

FUNERAL IN ATLANTIC
EARLY THIS MORNING

Quite a number of Audubon people
went to Atlantic this morning to at
tend the funeral of the late Mrs. M.
A. Bryant whose body was shipped
from Silver City, New Mexico for bur-
ial in the Atlantic cemetery beside
her husband who died in 1896.
Only a short service was held this
morning in the Presbyterian church,
conducted by Rev. T. B. Greenlee,
pastor of the church here and assisted
by the local pastor. This was by re-
quest of the deceased as was also
that of the pail bearers who were d.
l.. Freeman, Arthur Farquahr, A. M.
Currier, Bert McLeran, ]. H. Ross
and Earl Maharg
Mary Ann Strother was born in In
diana in January 1888 and was mar
this union six children were born,
three having preceded their mother
to the great beyond. In 1879 the fam
lily located in Atlantic where they
continued to reside until 1895 when
they moved to Rogers, Ark, and
where they lived little over a year.
While residents of Rogers Mr. Bryant
and the little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Smith of this city were
instantly killed by lightning. Mrs.
Bryant then moved to Silver City,
New Mexico where she conducted a
photograph studio for ten years. She
then came to Audubon and made her
home with her daughter, Mrs. Smith
until little over year ago when
she returned to Silver City where she
died January 11th.
The surviving children are Mrs.
w. w. Smith, of Audubon, r. G. Bry-
ant, of Newton and Mrs. Thressa Kin
er, of Silver City who accompanied
the remains to Atlantic Mrs. Smith
went to her mothers bedside but did
not reach her in time.
Her many Audubon friends regret
to learn of her death and all extend
their sympathy to Mrs. Smith in her
bereavement.

WOMEN SHOW GOOD
BUSINESS ABILITY

That women are splendid business
folks is becoming recognized more
and more each year, This week we
have report from Mrs. James Good
will which shows that she made
$7Sf.39 during 1915 The butter and
milk is from four cows from last Jan
uary until October goth and from
that date until the last of December
from five cows. The amount is de-
rived from the following items.
Milk sold $2379S, butter $2OS.45,
poultry $10S.S7, garden truck SOL.
$41.S0, poultry and eggs used SASH
This report is certainly good one,
and proves beyond a doubt that Mrs
Goodwill knows how to make a fin
ancial success of her undertaking.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
MRS. FRANK RINEHART

On last Sunday morning the whole
community was shocked to hear OF
the death of Mrs. Frank Rinehart,
one of our best known residents. She
had been falling for several months,
but was still active and walked down
town about a week before her death.
She was taken sick Tuesday and rap
idly became worse and passed away
Sunday morning at ten o'clock. Dia-
betes and heart trouble developed,
which was the cause of her death.
Eliza Jane Fiscus Rinehart was
born at Freedom, Owen county. In
diana. Sept. 10, 1852 and died at her
home near, Audubon January 16, 1916
aged So years, four months and six
days. She was married on Dec. s,
1872 to Frank Rinehart to which un-
ion four children were born. two of
whom, Will Rinehart and Mrs. Ollie
Gardner of this place survive.
With her husband she came to Fis-
Gus. Shelby county, Iowa in 1881 and
moved to Audubon about eleven
years ago.
Mrs. Rinehart became a Christian
when about thirteen years of age and
has always been a stauneh and firm
adherent to the faith. She was great
church worker. always in attendance
at services and always ready to res
pond to any call to assistance in any
way possible. Her deep convictions
and open expression made her prom
inent in all church activities. Strong
and forceful in character, she made
her impress on every community in
which she lived. She was a good wo-
man, earnest and true, upright and
honorable. She will be missed from
our midst and her example will long
serve a call to her many friends to
live on higher plane.
Besides her husband and two child
rem, she leaves seven grand children,
a sister in Indiana and hosts of
friends. Some of those present from
out of town were: II. l.. Fiseus, Mar

The Sea Of. Space.

The human mind cannot compre-
bend what is meant by the four lit
tie words in the expression "the sea
Of space" If the volume of "space'
included within our solar system
which is perhaps but a single train
of planets among hundreds Of mil
lions of a similar kind-were occu-
pied by one single globe 5,60O,000,-
900 miles in diameter it would be
but a feather in the marvellous
spread of vacancy" surrounding it.
In fact, is has been calculated by
scientists that in the space occu-
pied by our solar system something
like 2,7o0,00O, DOC, 100000 globes
the size Of our earth could revolYe,
each one at a distance of 100000

The Judss's Whistle.

The most concise summing up on
record is attributed in a volume of
legal "reminiscences called "Pie
Powder" to Baron Bramwell. The
defendants counsel had closed his
case without calling a witness whose
coming had been much expected.
Don't you call Jones, Mr.. Blank ?"
said the judge significantly at the
close of counsel's address. 81 do
not, my lord" replied the advocate.
The judge turned around to the
jury and gave vent to a low and
prolonged whistle. "Whe-e-ew!" he
said, or, rather, whistled. Gentle
men, consider your verdict"

BASEBALL HISTORY.
eenns Of ths First" Events In oss
Great National Game.

Gene Of ths First" Events In oss
orsat National Game.
The father Of baseball was Abne1
Doubleday, who was born in Ball
ston Spa, N. Y, ninety-seven years
ago. He was a distinguished gen
eral of the federal army in our own
war time, but his greatest claim to
fame is as the inventor Of Americas
favorite pastime. It was while q
student at Cooperstown, N. Y, that
he originated the game to which
the name of baseball was given and
which was an adaptation and de-
velopment Of the older sports Of
FOUNDERS" and clown BALL"
The crude pastime contrived by
Doubleday was further developed
by Alexander J. Cartwright, one of
his young associates, who invented
the "diamond' and in 1845 helped
to draft the first rules.
In 1916 the first match game be-
tween regular clubs was played in
Hoboken, N. j., two New York
teams %contesting.
The first baseball association, an
amateur organization, was launched
in 1857, and in the same year Hen
ry Chadwick, who shares with GEN
eral Doubleday the title of "father
of baseball" published the first off,
cial rule book.
The first regular baseball plant
was. built in Brooklyn in 1862.
A.. j. Reach was the first profess
sional ball player, having been hir-
ed by the Philadelphia Athletics,
who lured him away from Brooklyn
in 1864.
The first all professional club was
the Cincinnati Red Stockings of
1869, and the first professional cir
cult, the National association, was
launched in 1871, becoming the Ma
tional league in 1876.
The first minor league, called the
international, started in 1877
