FIRMS HELP ELkS.
Topeka Establishments Buy
Concert Tickets for Employees.
Paul AlthOuse, First of Series,
To Sing October 13.

Industrial Topeka is getting behind
the Elks concert course Ben H. Bear,
business manager in charge of the
large number of business concerns
in the city have purchased large num-
bers of tickets for their officials and
employees. Among the firms are
Crosby Brothers, Pelletier's, the To-
peka Railway company, the Topeka
Capital, the Topeka State Journal, the
Palace Clothing company l.. NJ. Pen
well, the Bank of Topeka, the Inter
Ocean mills, the Kaw Milling COM
pany, the Page mills and other large
concerns.
Bear said this morning that the
teams selling tickets have to date
one-third of the $4,000 goal. The
campaign, he asserted. will continue
until the goal is reached.
Because of the fact that the man
agement of the concerts wish to give
every purchaser of tickets an equal
opportunity to obtain reserved seats,
opening of a reserved seat plat has
been delayed. Bear declared the
plat would be opened at Roehrs
music store the middle of next week
and the reservations may be obtained
at that store.
The first number on the program
will be Paul Althouse, alternate tenor
with Caruso at the Metropolitan opera
house, October 13. All the concerts
will be given at the auditorium.
Althouse is one of the very few
fine tenors in the United States. With
the exception of the months of May
and October he spends all his time in
New York During these two months
/ he makes flying concert tours thru
the west.

DO Yot HAVE DIZZY SPELLS?
It's Important to Learn the Cause
as Many Audubon People Have.


Dizziness is never a disease of it.
self-it's only symptom of deeper
seated trouble. Much dizziness is
caused by disordered kidneys failing
to filter all the poison from the blood.
These poisons attack the nerves and
dizziness results. If you are subject
to dizziness there is good reason to
suspect your kidneys, and if you suf-
fer headache, backache. and irregu-
larity of the kidney secretions. you
have further proof. Many Audubon
people have learned the value of
Doan's Kidney Pills in just such cas-
es. Read this Audubon residents
statement:
Miss Clara Leonard. 521 Wash
ington street, says: Il have used
Doan's Kidney Pills for lame back
when every move made caused
acute pain. l had dizzy spells and
was so languid and weary mornings
that | could hardly drag myself
around. Doan's Kidney Pills were
suggested to me and l procured
some at the Frick Drug Co. Now the
backache has left me and | sleep
well, having become free of that ner-
vous restlessness. l have no kidney
remedy at home that equals Doan's
Kidney Pills"
Price soc at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy

CORN, CULTIVATION

Nothing can be gained by contin.
uing cultivation in cornfields free
from weeds and in which the soil
surface is mellow. When the sur
face is sufficiently loose and dry to
reduce evaporation, is open enough
to prevent run-off, and no weeds are
starting, a cultivation could do no
good and if carelessly performed
would do injury to the corn.
Corn should be cultivated only
when one or more objects will be ac-
complished by the cultivation and
when the total effects will be more
beneficial than injurious.
Some beneficial effects are "a
preventing the weeds from robbing
the corn of soil moisture and fertil-
ity; CD putting the surface in con-
dition to take" in rainfall. thus pre-
venting run-off and erosion-losses
of water and soil fertility; 90
warming the soil by drying its sur
face quickly; and Cd saving moist
ure by checking its capillary rise to
the soil surface.
Some injurious effects are (D
breaking corn roots which otherwise
would use some of the moisture of
light showers before it evaporates;
and ca forming large clods and
holes, thus permitting dry air to en-
ter and dry the soil.

THAT TERRIBLE TWIST

More than 1855 persons were killed
1000 or more injured and millions
of dollars worth of property destroy
ed by tornadoes, which swept thru
Kansas on Friday, Illinois and Indi-
ana on Saturday. and parts of Ten
nessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Ken
lucky and southern Illinois, Sunday.
Reports indicate that large
amount of farm implements needed
to produce the bumper crop desired
this year, was ruined, although the
spasmodic wind struck only here and
there in its frightful play through
the rural regions. Crop damage is
said to be not heavy in grain.
The heaviest toll of life was taken
at Matoon, ILL.,, city of 10000 pop
ulation in the broom corn country of
central Illinois, where fifty-four are
known to be dead and 500 injured,
with property loss of 100000.
May 26th was the twenty-fourth
anniversary of the great tornado
which struck st. Louis, killing 400
persons. 1t struck almost at the
same hour at Matoon.
Following is the summary Of tor
nadO dead and injured.

FORMER AUDUBONITE
COMMITS SUICIDE

The following was taken from the
Saturday Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
which will be OF interest to many of
the older readers of the Republican:
Mrs. George w. Pickrell, So, who
committed suicide by hanging her
self with a cloth. one end of which
was attached to hook in a bedroom
closet, was formerly from Jasper
county, Iowa. The family had lived
near Hastings, Nebr, for several
years. Four children, Mrs. Addie
Query, of Auduaon, Mrs. Mary
Slump OF Clarinda and two daugh-
tiers at home survive. Ill health was
the cause of the suicide.
She was united in marriage to G.
w. Pickerell al Audubon, Iowa, in
February, 1888. Mr. and Mrs. Pick
GRILL have lived their entire life in
southwest Iowa
A short time ago Mrs. Pickerill re-
ceived treatment in an Omaha hos
pital. Upon her return the family
and friends were led to believe that
she had recovered. but her improve
ment in health seems to have been
only temporary.
