COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS

The Commercial Club met in regu-
lar session last Monday evening In
the X. p. Hall. Quite goodly num-
Der of the members were present. Not
a great deal of business was transact
ed. The club paid 500 to the Wom-
ans Club as their share for the up
keep of the rest room for last year.
We understand that the expense of
maintaining the rest room was $35,
so the club ladies have decided to
take the remaining SOS and add it to
the fund for the purpose of purchas-
ing the automobile fire truck for the
fire department.
w. j. Hamilton and Evans Mar
quesen who circulated a paper for
the purpose of raising funds to
sprinkle the streets this summer, re-
ported that sufficient amount had
been raised. However, they found
that the street sprinkler was out of
commission and this will have to be
repaired before the streets can be
sprinkled-
A committee. of p. "A. Rasmussen
of A. Farquhar was appointed to con-
suit with the city council and to see
II 1t could not be arranged with the
contractors to have the business sec
ton OF the town paved first
No reference was made regarding
the celebrating Of the 4th of July. so
1t Is foregone conclusion that Audu-
bon will not do anything this year.
The streets will be all torn up and
1t will be splendid idea to wait un-
til next year.

COUNTRY CLUB PICNIC

The members of the Audubon
Country Club and their families On
ioyed a picnic supper a the beautiful
grounds Tuesday evening. At FIVE
o'clock large number were out play
ing golf and little later both tennis
courts we're in full operation. This
continued until darkness came on.
and then the families ate their supper
seated in groups around the Club
houre. 1t looked quite rainy in the
northwest and before the people could
dispense it began to sprinkle. This
continued but a short time so every
body present was able to get home.
The picnics will be one of the Soc
ial features this year as it is planned
to have them quite often. Tuesday
evenings affair was in every way a
delightful one and it is confidently
expected that many more equally
delightful occasions will follow be-
fore the summer season is over.
Several of the members from Extra
were present with their families.
which added considerable pleasure to
the occasion. Z

ARREST MADE IN VILLISCA
AXE MURDER CASE

A John Doe warrant was issued
from the District court at Red Oak
Monday for the arrest of, the person
who committed eight murders in the
family of ]. B. Moore of Villisca, June
8, 1912. 1t is believed that the Off
cials have definite idea at last of
the perpetrator of this crime and that
of similar axe murders committed in
Kansas and Illinois.
In an investigation the author
ship of anonymous letters mailed
from Kansas the Saturday before the
Iowa primary election, addressed to
nearly score of people in Montgom-
cry county, in which the writer of
the letters attacked a citizen of the
county, il is said, has partially dis
closed the perpetrator of the axe muir
ders.
The warrant was issued at the
request of a Kansas City detective
agency and names William Mans
field, alias Insane Blake" ex-
soldier, ex-convict and dope user,
as the perpetrator of the crime. J..
N Wilkerson. detective in the en-
ploy of the Burns detective agency,
gave out a lengthy interview detail
ing the crime and incidents before
and after 1t was committed. De-
tective Wilkerson claims the muir
ders were committed for pay and
that jealousy was the motive.

STORY HOUR FOR SATURDAY

The Story Hour every Saturday
afternoon at the library building at
two O'Clock is proving very POPULAR
Not only are the children in town in
terested in thes matter, but the in
terest has spread to the country as
was demonstrated last Saturday when

May Hunt, who had charge of the
Story Hour. The total attendance
last Saturday was Al. The ladies who
have charge of the Story Hour wish
1t understood that the country chill

DECORATE GRAVE OF
THEIR DEPARTED MEMBERS

The members of the Danish Bro
therhood and the Danish Sisterhood
assembled at the Danish hall last
Sunday afternoon to observe their
annual memorial service. After the
services at the hall the members went
to the cemeteries to decorate the
graves of the departed ones. These
societies have a very impressive SER
vice and the exercises last Sunday
were unusually we'll attended.
On returning from the cemeteries,
the members went to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Henriksen where
a social hour was spent. Before de-
parting for their homes, refreshments
consisting of ice cream, cake and

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
ON AT ST. LOUIS

The Democratic National conven-
ton is now in progress at st. Louis,
Mo. The first session WAS neld in the
large auditorium yesterday morning.
A large and enthusiastic IumDer of
Democratic politicians ana delegates
are reported to be III attendance.
Among the most noted Of All the DEM
ocrats is William Jennings Bryan,
who is acting IN the capacity of news
paper correspondent He was in Chi
cago last week at the Republican con-
vention in the same capacity. He is
a prominent and conspicuous figure
wherever he goes.
II have no plans except to report
this convention" was Mr.. Bryan's
cryptic answer when asked ii he
would address the convention, or APP
pear before the resolutions commit
tee in behalf of peace and anti-mili-
taristic planks, or take ally part in
the vice presidential contest.
When Mr.. Bryan arrived in St.
Louis Monday morning, few of the
democratic leaders were out of bed,
but he held an impromptu reception
in the hotel lobby and with difficulty
made his way through a crowd of
udnubudhcTS W HIS EOOlH. n large
percentage of those who greeted him
were fellow correspondents.
Later Mr.. Bryan made the folio
ing statement:
Il have come to the convention as
a newspaper correspondent and do
not expect TO take any official part in
the convention. Having been de-
feated for delegate in my own state,
| will not accept seat on the floor
of the convention as an alternate
from Nebraska, nor accept proxy
from any other state"
The convention will be a tame af-
fair as compared to the one held in
Chicago last week. President Wilson
will be renominated and will run on
q platform written by himself. Vice
President Marshall of Indiana will
also be renominated, though there
is some talk of a contest for the NOM
nation, Nebraska, Missouri, and Ill
inois having candidates that these
states will present. But president
Wilson has served notice that he de-
sires Marshall as his running mate
and his wish will not be disregarded
William Jennings Bryan will be
one of the lecturers at the chautau-
qua to be held in Audubon during the
latter part of July and we hope that
he will give us at least a few minutes
talk on his observations at both of
these national conventions.

CHAs. JOHNSON is INJURED

Chas. Johnson, who resides on the
old Billion farm eight miles northeast
of Audubon, and Frank Bamsey who
lives on the farm adjoining. got into
an alteration last Thursday evening
in which Charley was pretty badly
bruised up. He was brought to town
and taken to the Office of DR.. Brooks
where his injuries were attended to-
His condition was such that he could
not be taken back to his farm home
SO he was removed to the home of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Joe John
ston, here in this city where he is
still in a critical condition.
This week Johnston filed charges
in Justice Thomas court in which
Mr.. Bamsey was charged with assault
with intent to commit murder. Owing
to the condition of the informant the
matter has been set for hearing at a
later date and Mr.. Bamsey gave bonds
in the sum of $1,000. for his appear

ADAIR BUSINESS MEN
PAY US A VISIT

A large delegation of the business
and professional men of Adair paid
Audubon short visit Tuesday For
sometime past the subject of oiling
the main streets of their town has
been under discussion and, as in all
other towns, there was a difference of
opinion as to the advisability of spend-
ing large sums of money for the pur-
pose.
They had heard of Audubon's OIL
ed streets and came here to see what
they looked like and to get the sem
timent of the business men as to its
success or failure. They had been
informed that only recentlysAudubon
had oiled her streets, but in this they
we're mistaken, and no doubt disap-
pointed. The gentlemen were shown
every courtesy possible by E. F. Bill
harZ, president of the Commercial
Club, and the citizens of the. town in
general and had also been invited to
|spend a little while at the Country
Club, but they were compelled to de-
cline the invitation on account of the
limited time.
The Adair men no doubt found
that the oiled streets were a fine
thing. The only trouble is that it
does not last and IL the oil has to be
applied twice in one season, the ex-
pense of doing 1t is almost prohib.-I
tive Audubon spent hundreds of
dollars in two years trying to find
some way to get rid of the dust. 1t
was too expensive for us and instead
of wasting more money on oil. Audi
bon has decided to pave her streets.
That will most likely be the hest
solution for the Adair folks.
The delegation was composed of
the following gentlemen: Mayor H.
d. Byers, DR.. Preston Powell, presi-
dent of the Commercial Club, w. c.
Lyle. Chas. H. Snyder, Rev. Samp-
son Cocks, c. III. Haas, Thos, II.
Walsh, w. A. Harean, VIM. Berryhill,

l.. Perry. F. Furst, e. Freese, o. II.

hon and r. A. Stacey, editor of the
Adair News, from whom we acknow-
ledge a pleasant visit.

eral Audubon young ladies went to

CHILDRENs DAY PROGRAMS

Appropriate Childrens Day exer-
cises were given at the Methodist
and Presbyterian churches last Sum
day evening. The Methodist church
and the program was carried out as
originally planned. All of the chill
dren did splendidly and at the close
of the service collection was taken
which amounted to SIG.
A large audience also greeted the
children at the Presbyterian church
and program of excellence was rem
dered. Following the program a col
lection was taken amounting to al
most 1922. Both churches were at
tractively decorated with flowers and
this gave them a very pleasing APP
pearance.

TWO KILLED WHEN
TRAIN HITS AUTO

A fatal accident took place at Coun-
Gil Bluffs last Thursday evening when
Mrs. A. V. Storz and Mrs. w. J. Bart
lett of Omaha were instantly killed
and Miss Nellie Hart of Omaha and
Miss Lillian Jensen of this city were
injured when the Rock Island pass
enger No. IA, eastbound, going at a
rate of 40 miles an hour struck the
automobile in which the four women
and the four year old daughter of Mrs.
Bartlett were returning to Omaha
from hasty trip to Macedonia where
Mrs. Storz's HUSBAND, an Omaha au-
tomobile supply dealer. had been in
jured earlier in the day.
Mrs. StorZ, Mrs. Bartlett and Miss
Hart are sisters and the daughters
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hart. Mrs.
Hart is sister of our townsman,
Peter Jensen and it was his daughter
Lillian who was in, the accident, she
being guest at the home of her
aunt. The four women started to
Macedonia when they heard of the
accident and injury of Mr.. Storz but
missed the party which was returning
to Omaha with the injured man, and
as they came back they reached the
railroad crossing just as the train
was passing. The driver of the auto
mobile was instantly killed, so it
will probably never be known just
how the accident happened.
Mrs. StorZ's head was crushed so
that the brain was spilled, her legs
and arms were broken and her body
badly smashed. Her body gave EVIL
dence that she soon would have been
a mother. Mrs. Bartlett was instant
ly killed. but her four year old
daughter was only slightly injured.
Miss Jensen occupied the back seat
and sustained a fractured skull and
a broken collar bone. Miss Hart was
only slightly injured. Lillian Jensen
was taken to the Jenny Edmondson
hospital where doctors worked over
her for several hours, endeavoring
TO save her life. Her injuries were
serious but today she is consider
ably better and there are hopes of
her ultimate recovery.
AS soon as Lillian had been taken
to the hospital, her parents were no.
titled, and they, with their son, Ed
die, left at once for Council Bluffs.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Jensen remained
with their daughter until yesterday,
when Mr.. Jensen returned home. His
wife remained at her bedside and will
probably remain until she is able to
return home.
News of the accident created con-
siderable excitement in Audubon. as
Lillian was well known here. Much,
sympathy is expressed for the family
and there is deep concern regarding
the fate of the fifteen year old daueh-
ter. who is very pleasant young
girl and favorite among the large
number of girls OF her age who at
tend the public schools Audubon
people trust her injury will heal rap
idly and that she NAV soon he re-
turned to her home and friends.

KNOWLEDGE
Is NOT NEEDED TO DRIVE
AN OVERLAND MODEL "75''

The average car owner of today
has so little trouble with his motor
that many drivers never even investi-
gate that part of the mechanism
which lies under the hood.
"I'll wager" said John N. WHY'S,
president of the +Willys-Overla I'd
Company, while discussing the sub
ject at the Toledo factory several days
ago, that the majority of people
who own and drive cars cannot give
a clear explanation of the meaning
of transmission, differential, or any
one of fifty other semi-technical terms
/ might mention connected with the
mechanical construction of an auto
mobile.
while it is true in the majority of
cases., 1t does not follow that car
owners are unappreciative of the
many improvements that have been
made.
''In the early days of the industry
a man had to be an expert mechanic
before he would venture far in his
car Today not only the head of the
family, but his wife and children are
as much at home at the wheel of a
motor car as in q Pullman.
prospective car buyer are price and
general appearance. These being sat
isfactory, he asks for demonstration
to find out IL it is smooth running
and comfortable to ride in. Then he
takes the wheel and is surprised to
learn how simple and easy it is to
drive. Soon. he has complete conf
dence in himself and becomes a con-
firmed motorist.
'.Our smallest Overland. Model rs,
is good example of the type Of car
that is adding thousands to the ranks
of motordom. Its price is within the
reach of all. In appearance 1t COM
pares favorably with cars selling at
a much higher price. Although 1t is
smaller than our other modes, II
affords ample room for FIVE passen-
gers.

feet that the inner workings need
cause no worry to any driver. no mat

MAKES
A STRONG FIRM

DR.. Fl. C. Rogers who came here
last fall from Deep River and pur-
chased the veterinary hospital and
Office of the late DR.. Elery, sold
half interest in the business Monday
to DR.. e, l.. Fitch. of Logan, who re
Gently graduated from the Iowa State
College at Ames. Both gentlemen
are graduate veterinarians and with
their combined knowledge and ex-
perience ought to make strong firm.
DR.. Rogers has been In the practice
since 1906 and has made a wonder
full record wherever he has been. He
is recognized in the profession as one
of the top notchers and since he has
been in Audubon he has fully de-
monstrated that he is worthy of the
recognition DR.. Fitch is young
man who has just finished his course
of study. He is familiar with all OF
the new methods and this together
with, the actual experience of the
senior member of the firm ought to
place them in class by themselves
The Office rooms they will occupy
will be those OF DR.. Rogers and the
firm name will be Rogers & Fitch.
The building will be remodled and a
new sanitary operating room built
in the rear of the Office building
where they will have an operating
table with all the latest appliances.
Stocks operating table for small ami
mails. and sterilizing apparatus 20
properly care for their surgical in
struments. They will make surgery
"a specially.
The large barn located in the rear
will be fixed to properly care for the
patients left at the hospital for treat
ment. In fact these gentlemen are go
ing to give Audubon veterinary hos
pital that will be second to none in the
state of Iowa. They. have confidence
in the community and will spare no
pains or expense in order to give the
farmers of this section of the state
the skin and service to which they
are so justly entitled. ~

REPUBLICANS DID NOT
FORGET VETERANS

Democrats, cropping around for
something in the republican platform
to object to, say the republicans have
forgotten the veteran soldiers of the
country. No man who ever wore this
blue or khaki will believe this, The
republicans have ever been the friend
of the soldier His pension comes to
him from the government as his due,
and under laws enacted by the repub-
licans over democratic objection. 1t
is not required that the republican
party specifically declare its inten-
ton to regard the laws made in pur-
suit of its policy. So far as is re-
corded, no republican has yet refer
red to the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie as a grand army of beggars", or
expressed consolation in the thought
that soon all the veterans would be
dead and the pension roll would dis
appear. Democrats who are sincerely
DESTROYS of their party's success will
avoid reference to its record on pen
sions g
