NOT ABLE TO, GIVE PROGRAM

On account of not being able to
get band music yesterday afternoon,
the program planned by the Patriotic
Department of the Allison w. r. c.,
had to be Abandoned. The depart
ment, which is under the supervision
of Mrs. J. R. Chandler and Mrs. E.
Reed, had planned to give quite an
elaborate program on account of the
18TH anniversary of our flag. They
could not give the program without
music, and of course were greatly dis
appointed. Flag Day means much,
not only to the w. r. c., but to all
who love Old Glory.

REPUBLICANS NAME
NATIONAL TICKET
Hughes and Fairbanks are Named by
the Republicans at the National
Convention i'm Chicago

The Republican National Conven-
ton came to an end in Chicago last
Saturday afternoon after having
been in session since Wednesday
morning. They had labored hard and
industriously to nominate a ticket
that would be acceptable to the Re-
publicans and the Progressives alike,
and from all indications so far, it is
quite generally conceded that they
accomplished what they set out to do.
The nomination of Justice Hughes
of New York came on the third bal
lot and Charles Fairbanks, of In
diana, was nominated for vice presi-
dent on the first ballot. The Repub-
licans feel that splendid ticket has
been placed in the field and one that
all factions of the party can heartily
support at the election in November
The Progressives nominated Theo-
dore Roosevelt for president on their
ticket Word was sent to him immed-
lately. but he has refused to accept
the nomination. What the Progress
ives will do is not definitely known.
but 1t is supposed that a very large
percent of them will vote the Re-
publican ticket this year. Many of the
leaders in all sections of the country
have already signified their inten-
tons of returning to the Republican
fold to insure Republican success in
the election of Hughes and Fairbanks.
Arthur Farquhar, as an alternate
delegate from the Ninth Congression-
al District. and Charles Bagley, at
tended the convention. They are
firmly convinced that the ticket NAM
ed will be elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority. They state that the
demonstration given Senator Cum
Minis when his name was placed in
nomination was as enthusiastic
as that given any other candi-
date. Full and complete details of
the Convention are given on page
two of todays issue,

AUDUBON CLUB LADIES ta
VISIT ATLANTIC CLUB

A lady from Council Bluffs who
was the Ninth District delegate to
the Biennial convention of the Fed
Grafton of Womans Clubs held in
New York City last week, stopped
off in Atlantic Monday to give re-
ladies of Atlantic. The members of
the Columbian Club of this city
were invited to hear the report, and
in response to the invitation twenty
two of the ladies were in attendance.
A very delightful time is reported.
After the report had been made. re-
freshments were served.

SUFFERING FROM BLOOD POISON

Chris Petersen who is employed
at the Blue Grass Creamery at Ham
lin is suffering from blood poisoning.
He had small pimple on his left
hand. which he opened with a pocket
knife. The wound became infected
and the result is that blood poison
ing set in. His left arm was affected
before he realized what was wrong.
A physician has the case in charge
and it is thought that he will re-
cover without any serious trouble.

In PROGRESS
AT GUTHRIE CENTER

The Epworth League convention
of the Atlantic district is now in
session at Guthrie Center. Eight
auto loads went from here yesterday
and an equal number will be in at
tendance today. j. M. Renftle is one
of the speakers on the program and.
he will do full justice to Audubon.
He is a pleasing speaker and is al
ways popular at Epworth League
conventions. Last year Audubon had
the largest delegation at the con-
vention and this year they hope to
have better representation than
they had at that time. A pennant
is given to the town sending the
largest delegation three years in sue
cession, and Audubon having won
twice. hopes to be the winners this
year, which will entitle them to pos
session of the pennant.

THE LITTLE WHITE VICTIM.

We really should be thankful that
we live In these enlightened times
when our lives cannot easily be sworn
away In the courts, when medical men
know something Of medicine, and
hanging judges" are few and far be-
tween. A few weeks ago some merry
picnickers in a western town refreshed
themselves with ice cream, and short
ly afterwards they were tying them
selves in sailors knots, and several
narrowly escaped death. The learned
physicians who were summoned said
that ptomaine poisoning was RESPONSE
BILE, and nobody was hanged.
Had that occurred hundred years
ago, the doctors would have said that
arsenic was the cause Of the calamity,
and the officers of the law would have
gone hunting for the polsoner; then
woe betide anybody who was known
to have a grudge against any of the
sufferers! How many innocent people,
accused of poisoning, have been le-
gally butchered will never be known
until the roll is called up yonder, but
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-09-08

went ahead. Perhaps she was nerv-
GUS; perhaps she forgot TO put in some
necessary ingredients; however that
may be, the dumplings were a dismal
failure. They were fiat and heavy and
off color, and Elizabeth, who was heart
broken over it, wanted to throw them
into the alley, or give them to the de-
serving poor, but Mrs. Turner didn't
like to see anything go to waste, so
she had them served up.
The members Of the family ate some
steak and potatoes and then tackled
the dumplings. After eating small
portion, old Mr.. Turner reared up and
yelled, and bit piece out Of the back
Of his chair and then began rolling
around on the floor. Then Robert
Gregson Turner gave a good imitation
of contortionist; and presently Mrs.
Turner and the clerks did some ground
and lofty tumbllng. Outrageous and
apothecaries were summoned, and of
course, they decided that the family
had been poisoned with arsenic. And
who but Elizabeth Fenning could have
administered the poison2 Her guilt
was manifest. So Elizabeth went to
jail.
A great mass Of evidence was In
troduced by the prosecution at the
trial, and all of it was so trifiing as
to be absurd. Great stress, for In
stance, was laid upon the fact that
Elizabeth had repeatedly asked per-
mission to make apple dumplings. This
was considered conclusive proof that
she had contemplated the crime long
time. 1t didn't occur to anybody that
dumplings were not necessary to the
administering Of arsenic. Had she
been anxious to poison the Turner'S
she had opportunities every day.
Mrs. Turner testified at great length,
and In every sentence showed her
hatred of the girl. She testified that
there had been a paper of arsenic in
the drawer Of the kitchen table, and
when she recovered from her sickness
she looked for the paper, but it was
gone. This made deep impression
upon the jury, and seemed to stick In
their minds, to the exclusion of the
story of one Of the clerks, who swore
that the package Of arsenic had been
missing before Elizabeth went to work
for the Turner'S. 1t was taken for
granted that arsenic had been used,
because an ignorant doctor and more
ignorant druggist said so. In after

CHAPTER v.
Mr.. Brown Of New York.

In another moment a slight, wiry
man, well along in the thirties, came
breezlly into the room. The first glance
told that he was an American. His
nervous alertness, his assurance, the
slightly slouchy but nevertheless ag-
gressive manner in which he held him
self, differentiated him Enthusiastically
from the other men In Ethels sitting
room.
Guy rose to greet him. He had in
vited the American to join the party,
for Guy was almost like one of Sir
Georges family.
Hello, Charliep' he exclaimed with
undoubted enthusiasm.
And straightway he introduced the
newcomer to Ethel Willoughby, to
whom, as hostess, Guy infallibly turned
first.
You remember my mother?" Guy
asked him then.
you bet l dor Mr.. Brown said
heartily as he shook hands with that
smiling lady. Didn't we have bully
time in Chinatown?
"Ratherw Mrs. Falconer replied;
and they both laughed over their remi-
niscence.
To Henry Streetman the American
bowed pleasantly enough. And toward
Sir George he displayed the utmost az
liability.
"Glad to know you, Sir Georgew he
said as he gripped his nand. II want
to warn you, though, in case the others
haven't, that I'm a newspaper nah
Journalist, l think you say over
here"
"You do brighten me-" Sir George
replied with twinkle In his eye. "I've
rather a terror Of your profession, es-
pecially when they come from the
States"
Charley Brown grinned at him.
Don't worry, Sir Georger' Guy In
terposed. Charlie doesn't mean all he
says"
FATHERS only spoofing You" Georgy
assured the reporter.
"Spoofng? Spoofng" Mr.. Brown
repeated in a somewhat bewildered
fashion. He had met many words.
during his short stay in London, that
he had never before encountered in
the English language.
But his quick mind was not long at
fault. "0h, sure! Kiddlng-that's It'll
\. But, Sir George, | don't blame
you. We do butt In a good deal into
things that don't actually concern us
or the public, but l happen to belong
to a newspaper where 1t isn't crime
for one Of its staff to act like a gen
tleman; so don't think I'm making
mental notes or that you have to put

hundreds of thousands like him would
be off to the front. Now, you've
got to hand it to a country that's got
1t all planned out like that"
by George, you have!" said Guy
Falconer. He had listened, like the
others, with increasing wonder as the
American told his story.
IF England were only prepared, too,
along similar lines" Ethel VIII
loughby said. She did not finish her
remark. There was no need Of that,
for the vain wish that lay behind her
words was only too evident to them
all.
"But she isn't prepared-not the
least bits she, Sir George" Char
lie Brown turned to the member of the
British admiralty as a man who could
easily. back up his statement In an au-
thoritative fashion.
Sir George Wagstaff vouchsafed an
enigmatic smile. He was, to be sure,
vitality interested in everything the
newspaper man had said. But he had
no intention Of allowing himself to be
startled into making any ingenious
admission.
IF you don't mind, sir, should pre-
fer merely to listen," he said quietly.
II get you" Brown replied, with a
quick nod of understanding. Force
of habit makes me ask questions.
guess l thought / was Intervening
you" And, taking out his cigarette
case, he asked Ethel's permission to
smoke. Always an enthusiast, he had
thrown every ounce Of his nervous en-
ergy into the discussion. War was a
subject that, in those days, was ever
present In his mind.
Preparation such as Germany's is
often the surest guaranty OF peace"
Streetman remarked, reluctant to
quit the topic that most interested him.
He hoped, too. in the course Of the tea
party, to gather Information OF some
sort that might prove OF value to him.
He had been quick to perceive that the
American was uncommonly well in
formed upon conditions throughout
Europe.
Ordinarily such preparation makes
for peace" Brown admitted. But not
with Germany! She's been itching for
a chance to demonstrate her theories;
but the trouble is. she guesses wrong.
Diplomatically, ever since old George
W. Bismarck died, she's never been
right. And just now she's guessing
she can lick France. Russia and Eng
land with the rest of the world thrown
in"
And perhaps she's right" Henry
Streetman could not refrain from add
ing.
