been in delicate health for some time
past. but last week she was stricken
with paralysis from which she never
recovered. Mrs. Hutchinson is one
of the old settlers in this part of

in Clinton county, Ohio and resided
their until their removal to Randolph

moved to Dallas county. In 1877 she
came with her husband to Audubon
county and located on their farm in
Douglas township where hey lived
until they came to the city of Audu-
bon to take up their residence.
There are no children and the aged
husband is the only survivor and he
is in delievate health. Mr.. Hutchinson
has been under the care of physician

tanned that he will not survive his
wife very long.
Mrs. Hutchinson was a splendid
woman and in her younger years

REMAINS WILL BE SHIPPED
HERE FOR BURIAL

Word reached Audubon yesterday
morning of the death of Mrs. Peter
Madsen. which occurred at her home
near Tingley on Tuesday night. The
deceased was about 46 years of age
and leaves husband and family
of nine children, all of whom are
married but three. who are still at
home. About ten days ago Mrs. Mad
sen was taken down with pneumonia
and for several days was in a serious
condition. All of the children were
called to her bedside last Friday. At
that time there was some hope for
her recovery but Sunday her condi-
dition became worse and she grew
weaker until death relieved her of all
earthly sorrow and suffering
Mr.. Madsen and his family lived
on the Bilharz farm four miles west
of town for a number of years. Last
March they moved to a farm near
Tingley. Their old neighbors and
friends will regret to hear of her
unitimely death.
Several of the children live in this
county. the eldest, Andrew. is en-
ployed in the garage of John Shaw
at Gray The deceased was a sister
of Jens Andreasen, residing one mile
west of Audubon.

company the remains to Audubon on
Saturday when funeral services will
be held at Ebenezer church and in
terment made in the cemetery nearby.

OLD SOLDIERS To
TO TELL WAR STORIES

About a year ago the Columbian
Club first began talk of matitaing a
Saturday afternoon story hour for
children of Audubon and vicinity.
Miss Shellenbarger, superintendent
of the Juvenile Department of the
Des Moines Public Library. was invit-
ed to Audubon to talk to the Club on
the Subject. She spoke very encourag-
ingly of the club women themselves
being the story tellers, and urging
them to go ahead without the SER
vices of professional story teller. So
with the aid and cooperation of the
Library Board and the Librarian the
story Hour committee of the club ar
ranged for ten Saturday afternoon
story hours in the Library assembly
room during the spring of 1916.
These were so enthusiastically attend
ed by the little folks that the club
felt encouraged to further arrange
for the story hour in the fall.
The story hour committee made
out the years work and it was in
corporated i'm the club calendar. Each
story teller was assigned a date and
list of stories for telling was also
included in the year book. Since the
first story hour. not one has been
missed and the attendance has ranged
from twenty-five to, seventyfive child
rem. This is an excellent showing,
for in city the size of Audubon a
general average of fifteen TO twenty is
considered good.
Special holidays were observed by
appropriate stories, and at Christmas
time Mrs. Childs, a member of the
Story Hour commiltee sent from
California story for that holiday.
For the Patriotic holidays the com
mittee was especially fortunate in per-
suading two of Audubon's old soldiers
Harp Wilson and Mr.. McGinnis, to
tell some of their personal experiences
during the Civil War to the children.
These two days should be red letter
days for soldier stories told by sold
Ter boys are unequalled to the ears of
Young Americans. Mr.. Wilson will
have charge of the Story Hour Feb
ruary II and Mr.. McGinnis will APP
pear in May.

About 40 of the neighbors and
friends carried out the pleasant sur
prise on Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Olson,
at their home half mile east of the
Viola store Tuesday evening when
they entered their h ONE unan-
nounced. Mr. and Mrs Olson knew
nothing of the affair whatever. and
when the neighbors took possession
of their home. they were completely
helpless to prevent them from carry
ing out well laid plans. 1t didn't
take long for them TO adapt them
selves to the circumstances and i'm
mediately entered into the spirit OF
the occasion. The intruders had bro
ught well filled baskets from which
most delicious supper was served
The evening was passed in a social
way and many regrets were spoken
about their leaving the neighborhood,
they having decided to locate near
Milford, where they will move in a
short time, The best wishes of host
of friends will follow them to their
new home. and the happy farewell
given them will bring back many
pleasant memories as the years pass
by.

CANNOT Be MAYOR
OF AUDUBON TOO
Attorney General Rules That Mantz
Cannot Hold Position as Mayor
While Serving as Repres-
entative

Representative H. ]. Mantz of Au-
dubon county has received a ruling
from Attorney General Havner that
he cannot hold the office of repres-
entative of Audubon county and
mayor of the town of Audubon at the
same time, as the law prohibits any
public officer from holding two incra-
tive offices.
Mantz resigned as mayor of Au-
dubon before he was sworn in as
representative The council of Au-
dubon, however, declined to accept
the resignation and intended hold
ing the place open. They asked
Mantz to reconsider. He put the
matter up to the attorney general
The ruling will apply to other
members of the general assembly
who hold public offices other than
members of local boards of educa-
ton, it is said.
In declining that the office of
mayor is a lucrative office the at
torney general did not consider the
amount of compensation. That the
office paid any salary at all regard
less of whether it is only nominal,
makes it lucrative position, in his
opinion. In taking this stand, a
ruling of the department in a previ-
Gus case was received.
The state department rules that

DIES AFTER A
SHORT ILLNESS
Came to Audubon County Thirty
Eight Years Ago and Has
Remained Resident Until
His Death

! The readers of the Republican will
be panied to learn of the rather sud-
den death of VIM. Gillfillan, who pas
sed away at his home in this city
early Tuesday morning. Mr. Gillifil-
an had been sick but short time.
A week ago he complained of not feel
ing well. but thought nothing of his
ailment. However. it was deeper than
he thought and on Friday of last
week pneumonia developed. From
then he continued to grow worse and
for two days before his death he was
in a serious condition. Death reliev-
ed him from all suffering shortly after
six O'Clock Tuesday evening. He was
among the early settlers of Audubon
county and had a host of friends and
acquaintance.
William Gillfillan. son of Amazia
Gillifillan, was born near Lafayette
Ind, Feb, 20, 1916 and passed away
Feb. 6, 1917. at the age of II years
IL months and Z days He came
from Indiana to Iowa in 1854, and
settled on a farm near Des Moines.
He removed from there to this
county about 3S years ago. locating
on a farm nine miles east of Audubon
where here remained for a period
of eight years. He then came to Au-
dubon to make his home. and so has
been a resident of the town for the
long period of 80 years.
Thirty-nine years ago Mr.. Gillfillam
was united in marriage to Ella Ford
in the city of Des Moines. In Feb.
of the year 1906 his companion was
called to the better world and since
then he has been living alone most
of the time. Their home was bless
ed by the coming of four children,
one of these passing away in early
childhood; another, Hugh Ford,
died at the age of twelve years. Two
sons survive. Claud A., of Coon
Rapids and Roy, who for the last two
years has spent most of his time with
his father.
The deceased was a member of
large family and a number of bro
theirs and sisters and other relatives
survive, but one sister, Mrs. j. B.
Spencer, of Valley junction was able
to be present at the funeral today
His sons can be assured of the sin
Ger sympathy of the entire commun-
ity. and a host of old friends and
fellow citizens will greatly miss the
sunshine of the personality of VIM
Gillfillan. He was indeed one of the
makers of Audubon, coming before
the railroads and has been identified
with the life and progress of the COM
munity all these years.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Presbyterian church this
afternoon. by the pastor Rev. T. B.
Greenlee.
