WIFE GETS A DIVORCE

There is much interest in Audubon
today over the reports printed in
the Des Moines Capital concerning
divorce case which has just been
aired in the Polk county courts The
party in question is DR.. Geo. Moore,
who twenty-five years ago lived in
Audubon and had his offices in the
Howald block. Mrs. Moore is quite
wealthy in her own name. She was
given the decree and also the custody
of their son. Kenneth, who is given
an allowance of $40 a week. Some
of the evidence was as follows:
Mrs. Moore told a pathetic story
of her efforts to maintain the home
"for the childrens' sake" while she
said her husband insisted upon leav-
ing. in order that he might find
solace in the companionship of
younger women who would flatter
him."
II don't love YOU and I'm going
to leave" the doctor told his wife.
according to the testimony of Mrs.
Moore. IF i lived with you 1t would
amount to prostitution. l consider
you only my housekeeper, and not
my Wife"
81 pleaded with him." testified
Mrs. Moore. II told him: George,
l will be your house keeper, and I
will be good house keeper to you.
Just stay. Don't bring disgrace upon
the children"
but the doctor declared he would
never live with me again." testified
Mrs. Moore
AS the doctors wife dragged the
Moore family skeleton from the clos
ct, the doctors face frequently be-
came crimson. especially when ref
erences were made with his alleged
escapades with two married "soul
mates"
'The doctor left me last October"
said Mrs. Moore. as she began her
story. "He first began to drift away
from me when he started to admin
lister treatments to a married wo-
man.
This woman became too devoted
to the doctor. l demonstrated with
him and he replied. CLARA loves me
better than any one on earth
But she is a married woman" I
protested. won't you please cease
treating herr"
mo, l won't" the doctor replied.

HOTEL CHANGES HANDS

The Park Hotel owned an operat-
ed by l.. ID. Ross the past three
years, has changed hands. the new
proprietor being A. C. Martin, of
Council Bluffs, who with his wife
came to Audubon to take charge the
fore part of the week. They have
been busy getting the place In shape
and by next week hope to open the
dining room to the public.
Mr.. Martin has had a great deal
of experience in the hotel business
and no doubt will make a success of
the Park. Audubon needs first
class hotel and the travelling public
will lose no time in giving a good
place their patronage. The rooms
have all been cleaned and put in first
class condition and with an exper-
fenced cook in the kitchen. the din
ing room will soon be one of the
most attractive places in Audubon.

Big ENTERPRISE
FOR AUDUBON
II plans Mature City Will Have an
Industry That Will Employ
Much Help With a Large

There is movement on foot in
Audubon to bring to this city one
of the biggest manufacturing enter
prises obtainable. We already have
in our midst an enterprise that is a
paying proposition. but in order to
meet the increasing demands for its
products, it is necessary to enlarge
facilities
1t is contemplated to enlarge the
Audubon Brick and Tile Plant, and
already stock is being sold so that
additional facilities can be purchased
to make the plant one of the most
prosperous in the state Of Iowa. 1t
is proposed to offer for sale stock
to the amount of $O4,000.00, sold in
shares of 500 each. The proposed
improvements to be made, If the
new company takes over the plant,
is to increase the capacity 800 per
cent. This means more kilns, a mod
ern steam dryer and car system for
handling the product. Under the
new order of things the plant would
be running continuously and the
monthly pay roll would be boosted
to $4,000.
Stock in the company can be pur-
chased on payments il desired by
calling on A. G. Brenneck, who has
charge of the stock selling. Evans
Marquesen will be vice president of
the new concern. Already a great
deal of stock has been sold, and it
hoped that all the stock will be dis
posed of before the fore part of
March so that all necessary improve
ments can. be made.
Here is an opportunity for Audi
bon to secure a paying proposition.
The Tramps have long enjoyed
lucrative business and they will con-
tinue to hold large share of the
stock in the new company. Everyone
having a little surplus cash should
invest it in this stock, in order to
make the enterprise the success 1t
deserves. Plants at Mason City and
other towns in Iowa have been Or
ganized on the same plan and they
have proven to be the means of
bringing many new families into the
city as well as good paying propo-
sition for the investors. Everybody
in Audubon should boost for this new
concern. There is no reason why all
of the stock should not be taken up
at once Here is one opportunity
that Audubon has of lettering her.
self and increasing its population.
The success of the project will mean
much to every business man and
property owner in the city. Let's
put our shoulder to the wheel and
put the proposition over the top"
in double quick time.
