CLUB WOMEN DISAPPOINTED
Well Known Speaker Billed for
Monday Failed to Appear

The ladies of the Columbian
Club and their friends were greatly
disappointed last Monday afternoon
when their speaker, Mrs. Grace B..
Wilmots of New York City failed to
keep her appointment in Audubon.
Mrs. Wilmots had been engaged to
make a number of addresses in this
state and a schedule had been pre-
pared by Miss Mason of Boone.
This schedule included the city of
Audubon. When Mrs. Wilmots
learned of the poor accommodations
at Audubon and that the city was
on a branch line she refused to fill
the appointment
This information was not conveyed
to the Audubon club women until
1880 Monday afternoon. The
news was great disappointment for
the club had made a special effort
to entertain the women of the city
and vicinity at the Crescent theatre.
Word came so late that it was an
utter impossibility to telephone all
of the women that Mrs. Wilmots
would not be here.
No blame is placed on the local
committee for the failure OF the
speaker to keep her appointment.
While Mrs. Wilmots is no doubt a
woman of ability, yet it occurs to us
that she used poor judgment in re-
fusing to fill her Audubon date on
the ground of "such poor accommo-
dations." Mrs. Wilmots was to
speak on Fundamental Principals
of Interior Decorations" and the
women of the~community had count
ed it a privilege to hear so noted
a woman on this subject.

much as the committee was power
less to do anything, asked to be dis

Another important matter dis
cussed was the much talked of Nolan
bill which has for its purpose the
imposing of a heavy tax on farm
lands. The bill and its provisions
were presented to the Club by F. G.
Sampson of the Farm Bureau The
Club passed resolution opposing
the bill and the secretary was in
structed to forward the resolution to
Congressman Green. Mr.. Sampson
also passed paper and every mem

NOTES ON THE sENAToRsHIp

Mr.. H. J. Hoogenakker, who will
be candidate for state senator from
this district, was a Dallas Center Wis
itor last week. Mr.. Hoogenakker is
editor of the Audubon Republican.
He is a pleasant man to meet and
stands well in his community. For
many years he has had the farmers
interests at heart. and pledges him
his support if elected. Mr.. Hoogen-
akker reports good support in his
candidacy throughout the district
Dallas Center Times.
H. ]. Hoogenakker editor and pub
Usher of the Audubon Republican, is
a candidate for the republican NOM
ination as state senator from the
Dallas-Audubon-G Guthrie district. The
Journal is not informed as to wheth-
err or not he has opposition, but it is
pleased to see men of Mr.. Hoogen-
akker's ability and ideals entering
the race for the senate. He is a
former Marion county citizen and his
parents still live at Pella. He has
been an Iowa newspaper publisher
for twenty years, and has made good
at the Job. His long and intimate
connection with the country newspa-
per business has made him familiar
with the needs and aspirations Of the
farmers and retail business interests
of the state and he is amply equip
ped by nature, training and character
to give his district splendid service in
the state senate. without any de-
sire to butt into the political situa-
ton in an adjoining district, the

GRAIN ELEVATOR SOLD

UPDYKE GRAIN ELEVATOR SOLD
The Audubon Cooperative Ex-
change recently organized, has pur-
near the Northwestern depot for
consideration of $4,000 This in
cludes the elevator building and
the coal shed which contains fifteen
large bins. These buildings are To-.
Gated on leased ground from the
Northwestern Railway Co. For sew
eral years past the elevator has been
under the able management of c. D.
Hart. ;,
Possession of the building will be
given as soon as the $4,000 bushels
of oats now in storage and 5000
bushels of corn can be shipped to
market. Monday power shelter
was put to work on the corn which
will make about four car loads. 1t is
difficult to secure cars at this time
and it may be quite while before
the railroad company will accept
shipments on account OF the railroad
strike which is on at this time. How
ever, THE company anticipates that
all shipments can be made by tho
first of the month and that the trans
fer can be completed at that time.
The new owners are farmers of
this immediate vicinity who have
formed an organization for the pur-
pose OF handling their own grain.
The men have perfected an organi-
zation along lines of other COM
panies now operating with marked
success in adjoining towns. B. J.
Black is president of the Z exchange
and E. B. Thomas. secretary.
A meeting of the stockholders Of
the exchange will be held in few
days when manager will be Sc
leeted.

primaries with hands down. 1t
gives us much pleasure to recon-
mend him to the voters of Audubon
county.
Concerning his candidacy the
Knoxville Journal has the following
comments to make:
1.-THE Journal takes pleasure in
announcing that Captain F. p.
Woodruff of this city, will be
candidate for the republican nomi-
nation as railroad commissioner to
terset, Mr. Guiher having served
two terms is retiring from office.
Captain Woodruff needs no in
PRODUCTION to the people of Marion
county, where he was born and
raised and where an active and
successful business career of more.
than 20 years has made his name
and reputation known to every
household. Returning to Knox
vile from the Philippines where
he served as First Sergeant and
Lieutenant of Company d in the
old 51st Iowa regiment, Mr.. Wood
ruff Immediately began business as
a shoe merchant, later enlarging
his business to include clothing and
furnishings. By strict attention
to business and sound methods he
has won an enviable degree of sue
cess and is recognized as a leader
among retail merchants.
when the United States entered
the war against Germany, Captain
Woodruff was made member Of the
county council of defense, was active
in promoting and organizing county
war work and was later commission
ed as Captain and assigned to i'm
portant duties in connection with
the fuel administration, which he
discharged with such ability and dis
tinction as to win the approval and
commendation of his superior Of
ficers.
Captain Woodruff possesses the
peculiar qualifications needed for
the proper discharge of the duties
of the office he seeks-sound judg-
ment, a thorough knowledge Of
business, an inquiring and alert
mind and a passion for details:
Whatever he undertakes to do he
does with all his might. While he
has been active in politics he has
never before sought office for him
self, preferring to be worker in
the ranks. II he shall be nomi-
mated and elected he will serve with
credit to himself and the state. The
Journal takes real pleasure in COM
mending Captain Woodruff. to the
voters of Iowa. He is worthy ard
well qualified"

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

Fast and reckless driving, and
driving an automobile with cut-out
open on the streets of Audubon are
prohibited by the ordinances of our
city. Much complaint has been
made of these practices. Several
accidents have. occurred and many
others narrowly ayerted, as the result
of fast driving on the streets. Many
people are disturbed daily and
nightly by the needless noise made
by driving with cut-outs open,
1t is my Intention to strictly en-
force these ordinances and the city
marshall has been instructed to ar
rest any one violating same. This
is issued as a warning to cease these
practices. Any one disregarding
same need not be surprised at having
to paya fine for so doing.
The playing of baseball and other
games on the streets is fast becoming
serious menace, and If not discon-
tinued will result in some bad acct
dents. It must be stopped.

Journal feels that the people of that
district are to be congratulated upon
having the opportunity to secure the
services of so good man as Mr..
Hoogenakker as their representative
in the senate.-Knoxville Journal.
1t is fact not genrally known to
his Colfax friends that Mr.. Henry
Hoogenakker of Audubon is candi-
date on the Republican ticket for the
nomination of State Senator, and will
doubtless be nominated at the pri-
maries in June. Henry is one'of the
young men Colfax people, without re-
gard to political affiliations, swear
by. He first came to this place as
an employee of w. and l.. Hitch
cock of the ColfaX Tribune. Here
he earned the good will of his en-
ployees and the people of the city.
Later he embarked in the newspaper
business in 'Pella, but for time came
back to the Spring City and success
fully published the Tribune, going
from here to Richland where he re-
NAMED several years, and where he
made a distinct hit with the people,
becoming popular and securing a
fine business. Then he went to
Guthrie Center, and the past ten years
has been publishing the Audubon Re-
publican, one Of the leading county
! seat newspapers in the state of Iowa.
His candidacy to the office for which
he aspires came as result of the de-
mands OF many friends and neigh
bors. 1t was entirely without his
seeking, and the way the people are
rallying to his support shows that
Mr.. Hoogenakker is going to get a
mighty big vote in all three of his
counties. He is young, energetic
and earnest. He will have the best
wishes of all his Colfax friends in
his race, and Wen all rejoice when
he is nominated and elected.-Colfax
