30 CASES OF INFANTIhE
PARALYSIS AT DUBUQUE

Dubuque is a stricken city. The
present outbreak Of infantile paral-
ysis has cast a gloom over the en-
tire population. Fifty cases have
already been reported.
Practically all Of these have been
amongs children ranging in ages
from l to 10 years The disease
has not been confined to homes OF
the poor, but children of some OF
the best known citizens OF Dubuque
have been attacked.
A strict quarantine is established
in all homes where cases have de-
veloped and in many cases fathers
of children have been barred from the
afflicted homes. One such example
is that of Frank Woodward. publish
er of the Dubuque Telegraph Herald,
who has been watching the prog
ress of his sons illness from a
neighbor's residence.
Public gatherings of children are
prohibited, and few are seen on the
streets, or at the amusement parks
and moving picture houses.
Experts have been called from a
number of cities, including Roches-
ter, Mimi, and they are doing their
best to combat the plague.

PLAN TO DOUBLE
NUMBER OF MEN
ENLARGlNG OF CAMP DODGE TO
MEN MUCH TO THE STATE
OF IOWA

The war department has definite.
ly decided that new division will
be trained at Camp Dodge as soon
as facilities are available there after
the departure of the S8th division
for France. Brig. Gen. Henry Jer-
vey, assistant chief of staff, in
charge of the division of operations,
says that the facilities at Des
Moines would be utilized to the
fullest capacity by the war depart
ment because of the ideal location
of the camp and the fact that the
buildings are considered in many
ways model cantonment for the
training Of troops.
While the war department de-
clined to specify from what states
the new division at Camp Dodge will
be drawn, it is reasonable to believe
army officers asserted, that the
same states that are now repre-
scented in the SSth division, will be
called to compose the new fighting
units. 1t also is expected that col
ored troops will continue to be
trained at Camp Dodge, despite the
regrettable 0ccurance involving
colored troopers, which treminat-
GU III TIC tTlpplc HdHSlHS DIT the
Camp last week.
In addition to training a new di-
vision at Dodge, it is expected that
certain portions of the camp will be
given over to the training of re-
placement troops. The war de-
partment plans contemplate turn
ing over several cantonments for
the sole use of training replacement
units, but in those cases where camp
facilities are employed for the train
ing of new divisions, efforts also will
be made to training sufficient con-
scripts at the individual camps to
men the replacement units necess-
sary to keep the division at full war
strength continually.
While no official word is permit
ted to be said as to the time that
our division will sail for France,
indictiOns point to the SSth division
getting front line service in advan-
ce of the Iowa national guard troops
at Demming. In fact there is little
prospect that the Camp Cody divis-
ion will move before late in August,
because of the fact that the depart
ment plucked 5000 men from the
division to fill an organization
that has sailed, and new men have
been sent to Deming to fill this gap.
Their training of course. will de-
lay the dispatch of the full division.

WILL REBUILD FACTORY

The Audubon Planning Mill which
was destroyed by fire few months
ago, will probably be rebuilt this
summer and fall Hermansen IL
Stone. the proprietors are now
working on plans for the new build
ing, which will be of brick. They
are yet undecided as to the size OF
the building which is to occupy the
old site. The planning mill has
for years been busy place, and
few people realize the Importance OF
the institution until 1t was destroy
ed. The firm does large con-
tracing business and much of the
mill work is done at home. The
new building will have all of the
latest machinery. and will in every
way be superior to the old one.
II is quite likely that the lot just
north of the mill will also have
new building. and IL is not at all
improbable that both new build
ings will be in course of construc-
ton at the same time.

MANNING BANK HAS
CHANGED ITS NAME

Last week the Republican con-
tanned an article stating the facts
concerning the large glass sign that
had been destroyed in front of the
German Savings Bank at Manning.
In the article we made reference
to the fact that. the bank had
ought to change its name. This
week We received a copy of the
Manning Monitor sent us by the
bank in question in which is recited
the fact that the bank had changed
its name at the meeting of the dir
ectors the first Monday in July.
We are greatly pleased to learn that
the change has been made. The
breaking of the sign will be no
loss to the hank and now that the
old sign is gone there will be room
for the new sign. Following is the
clipping giving the full facts:
AT the annual meeting of the
stockholders OF the German Saw
ings bank held Monday afternoon,
all of the directors were reelected
and several important changes made
in the articles of Incorporation OF
the bank Hereafter the annual
meeting of the stockholders will
be held on the fourth Monday of
December instead Of the first Mon.
day of July as at present The
bank now has the right of act as
receiver, assinee, guardian, admin
istrator of estates and trustees and
may be named executor in wills by
any person desiring their business
transacted by the bank instead OF
the individual. In the future the
bank will be known as the Iowa
State Savings Bank and the changes
in the articles of Incorporation will
become effective as soon as the am
endments adopted by the stockhold-
ers are filed with the recorder at
Carroll and a state certificate issued
by the Secretary of State.
After the meeting of the stockhold-
ers. the board of directors held
short session and unanimously re-
elected all of the officers and en-
ployees of the bank. The business
of this growing bank has been
very satisfactory the past year and
both meetings were harmonious.
The officers of the bank are giving
individual attention to the business
and the people are receiving careful.

CONVENTIONS WERE HELD
HERE AND AT EXTRA

There were two county Sunday
school conventions in the county

sessions of both conventions was
held at 2:30 in the afternoon and
at 500 O'Clock in the evening.
Miss Englebright, Miss Mary

noon programs were not so well at
tended at either place, but both
evening programs had a good at
tendance. Mr. Howell is a pleas
ing speaker and gave an interest
ing talk.
Rev. Van Dram gave a glowing
report OF the work that had been
accomplished by this newly form
ed organization which has been in
existance since last spring
A free will offering was taken
at both the sessions and the amount
received was quite liberal and suf-
ficient to carry the present needs
of the organization. Officers were
elected and those for the Audubon
district are l.. w. Barger, presi-
dent: Peter Hansen. vice-president;
and Mrs. V. l.. Culver. secretary
and treasurer.

l56 men WILL LEAVE
NEXT WEDNESDAY
LY INCREASED BY SPECIAL
ORDER LAST SATURDAY

Last Saturday morning the local
board received word from the ad-
jutant general of Iowa, that Audu-
bon county would he expected to
send 1856 men in the draft next
wednesday instead of lis as report
ed last week. AS soon as the or
der was received and the names had
been selected the Republican issued a
bulletin on which was printed the
names of the Al additional men.
All day long people came to this
office for the very latst news. The
bulletins were eagerly sought and
We received many compliments for
furnishing the news in such splendid
form.
The reason for the increase of
Al men is that other counties of the
state are lacking in Glass One men.
We had a surplus here and other
counties of the state were made to
make up the deficit
The local board informed us this
morning that the men would leave
here Wednesday morning, July "a
at seven O'Clock on special train
over the Rock Island. All of them
will go to Camp Pike, Ark. On
July 10Th 81 more men will leave
here for Camp in Georgia. We
were unable to get the names of
those who will go then as they will
not be drawn until after the 1876
have reported for duty. Following
is the authorized list OF those who
will leave Wednesday morning:

our CHAUTAUQUA
TO BEGIN SATURDAY
TWELFTH YEAR FOR AUDUBON
AND INTEREST INCREASING
WITH EACH YEAR

The twelfth year OF the Redpath
Vawter chautauqua system is at
hand and the reports from the
thirty five towns which have al
| ready been visited by this system
say that 1918 finds the best pro-
gram of the total. We are glad to
! hear this report and ii it is in any
way true. we are sure there can be
no one disappointed with this years
program. Some of us are prone to
think that after all it is hard to
beat such men as those who have
spent two years in the prison camps
OF Germany as our speaker on the
first Afternoon or a talk from DR..
Chas Medberry on THE Man for
Now with the inspiration he must
have received from visiting forty of
our cantonment. Or even Fred
Dale Wood who we are told was
sent to Washington and given es-
pecial permission to investigate and
compile notes of interest and i'm
portance on the subject of where
and For What" our Liberty Loan
goes.
Have you noticed the first page
of the chautauqua program. There
in a very common place with the
program is Jess Pugh. He is said
to be the best and most original
entertainer of the world today.
Nearly every humorous or patriotic
reading or song that he gives was
of his own composition. He does
not have the most prominent and
extensive advertising but has made
"a wonderful hit in every tent he
has been in during the summer. He
is a real ice breaker and you can
bet he'll get you with louder laugh
than you have split in some time
When we learn that the Williams
Jubilee singers have sang all over
continental Europe. giving 1870 en-
tertainments in London alone on
that tour and that they have been
singing together for the last six
teen years without change in per-
son we are convinced that they
are a rare treat.
All are familiar with the record
1T Pays to Advertise" or the "99
laughs as it has so often been cal
led by travelling men throughout
the east. About eleven people re-
present the cast of characters. The
"Mikado" company are surely the
big thing on the program in the way
of entertainment. We notice that
more space and prominence have
ben given to them than to any
other one thing and are told that
nothing has pleased the chautauqua
audiences as has this company Of
more than thirty opera stars. Sur
ely we are going to have the best
program of the twelve years that
this company has been with us and
lets all buy tickets and save the
fifty cents by buying them early.
