BIG COUNTY FAIR
Is In PROGRESS
IDEAL WEATHER BRINGS ENoR-
NOUS CROWDS FOR THE
FIRST DAY OF FAIR

This is fair week for Audubon and
the weather man has so far given us
better weather than anyone could
ask for. Tuesday was entry day
and all departments were well filled
by late in the afternoon.
The horse, cattle and hog sheds
are filed to overlooking and we have
been told that the hog and cattle
show this year Is far ahead OF any
thing ever shown in Audubon before.
The floral hall is also well filed.
The corn show too Is exceptionally
good. The midway is not as crowded
as had been expected, yet there are
enough amusements to make the fair
all one could wish for.
There are FIVE big free acts which
are put on in front of the grand
stand each afternoon and evening.
This in addition to the airplanes fur
nishes an abundance of amusement
and entertainment for the visitors.
Today is in reality the first day of
the fair. At noon the sale of single
admissions was considerable ahead
of the first day last year. The mem
bership ticket sale was also excep-
tionallyylarge. which assures large
crowd every day as we'll as a large
crowd for tonight and tomorrow
night when the evening program win
be given in addition to a grand dis
play of fireworks.

rs years ago when they left the

dren living and two dead and ]. p.

s7TH STATE TO RATTFY

The Connecticut legislature Tues
day afternoon by concurrent action,
ratified the woman's suffrage amend
ment to the federal constitution,
making Connecticut the .thirty-sev-
enth state to 'ratify.
The resolution was taken up de-
spite Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb's
message, read when the legislature
was convened in special session to
change the election law of the state
so women would be enabled to vote
this fall The governor said the
legislature had no constitutional
power to enact any other legislation
than that for which it was summon
ed to act upon.
When Republican House Leader
King read the resolution for passage
of the federal suffrage amendment
in the lower branch, Speaker Walsh
asked IL there was any objection to
the resolution and there was none.
1t was ruled in order by the speaker.
Every legislature is law unto
ITSELF" he said. The remark was
cheered and the roll call was begun
The vote in the house on the reso-
luton for ratification was: Yes, ZIG;
no, IL. In the senate there was nc
vote In opposition.

prGu,fsY sent To PRISON

Jack Johnson, former worlds
heavyweight champion, was senterc-
I'd to one wear and day in LIE wen
worth penitentiary and fined $1,000
by Federal Judge George A. Carpen-
ter of Chicago for violation of the
Mann act.
The .sen,ance Ieaffirmed that pass
ed on Johnson in 1913 when he was
convicted of transporting "a white
girl from Pittsburg to Chicago for
immoral purposes.
Johnson later fled 10 Europe, for
feiting his $4,000 bond and from
then until few weeks ago, when he
surrendered on the Lower California
border, he was a fugitive from JUS
,tice.
Johnson's first wife committed
suicide in 1913 and he thereupon
married Lucille Cameron, the 'prin-
cipal white witness for the state.
Since his return to Illinois John
son has been boxing daily in his
cell, in anticipation that he might
be released and permitted to take up
fighting again.
Johnson, nattily dressed in blue
when he entered the court room.
When sentence was passed, how
ever, he appeared much downcast. as
ne had hoped for greater leniency
Permission was, granted his attor-
ney to file a writ of error and stay
of execution of the sentence was
given until Saturday.
Judge Carpenter who had refused
to hear a plea for bail since John
son was returned to Illinois, again
refused to release the prisoner and
ordered him returned to Jail.

WINE FLOWS AT MANNING
Whole Countryside Filled Up On
California Product After Wreck


The history of the Milwaukee, es-
| pecially on the Iowa division, has
shown for some time that IL one bad
derailment occurs, there is sure to be
two more within a short time and
the hoodoo regarding the derailment
of wine cars seems to have been es-
tablished, especially since July first,
last year.
A few months ago there was de-
railment at Haverhill in which car
Of wine was the central figure and
the residents of Haverhill and vicin-
ity enjoyed themselves at the Mil
Yankees expense. A short time
later similar derailment occurred
at Defiance and car of wine figured
in it.
Sunday night when wreck occur
red at Manning, seven of the cars
were derailed and somewhat .damag-
ed but the tank car containing wine
was tipped over and the contents
flowed out.
The news of the affair spread rap
idly and within a short time there
was a parade of buckets, pals and
other containers which would have
been a sight for the sore eyes of an
old time hand brigade fire fighter.
The Americans who participated in
the festivities seemed to get away
with it all right but the Great West
ern had a crew of section laborers
there who did not fare so well, at
least couple of them were not on
the job for a few days. After they
had consumed considerable wine an
alteration arose between a gang OF
the Mexicans and the Austrians and
the matter was settled by one from
each side with knives. The men
were reported to have been pretty
badly cut up.
When the night operator on the
third shift came to work he reported
to the division offices that he saw
not less than nine hundred DRINKS
in town and as he is man who
never uses the stuff his estimate was
perhaps correct.

U. s. BEHIND IN AVIATION

Unless this country Is content to
take back seat permanently, 1t
must wakeup and get busy in the
air. 1t would be an everlasting
shame for the native land of Wilbur
and Orville Wright, the men who
made aviation possible, to be left
behind by nearly every other nation
In the development OF aircraft. Read
the following from the report for the
year of the controller general of civil
aviation of Great Britain.
" with a total of more than 10000
passengers carried during the first
year of civil flying in England there
was but one fatal accident. The
adaptation of the flying machine to
the purposes of trade is but a step,
and British officials declaring they
already have conquered the air, find
their immediate task now to be the
exploitation of their success in the
interest of commercial development.
During this one year British fiiers
goods and more than $1,000,000
worth of imports and exports were
transported between England and
the continent"
Y In the United States private en-
'terprise is making progress in the
development of aviation as a COM
mercial proposition, but what has
the government so far done? Why
should not provision be made for a
secretary of aviation in the cabinet
as well as a secretary of the navy?
Whv shnuId mt conpraSn give Somp
attention and thought to this very
important matter? II should make
us ashaped of ourselves to be left
behind in the race by even war tori
Belgium. What are we going TO dc
about It?

PIONEER PASSES AWAY
Succumbs to Attack of Paralysis Az
ter Several Months OF Illness

II. B. Wilson, one of the pioneers
of Audubon, died at his home We'd
Dhesday morning after an illness of
rather short duration. During the
past few years he suffered two
strokes OF paralysis from which he
gradually recovered, but some six
weeks ago he suffered another light
stroke and since then he has been in
failing health. Last week 1t was
quite evident he could not recover so
his Children were sent for, a OF them
arriving but one daughter, Mrs. Mar
garet c. Reinemund Of San Diego,
Calf, who was unable to come at
this time.
Mr.. Wilson was man who was
well liked and made friends. He
wa, a. member of the, Methodist
church since boyhood and lived his
religion in daily life.
Besides a devoted wife he leaves
fCui daughters and two sons. We
can only remind these beref: cues
thai he is not dead: he is only asleep
Testing after long and wei, spent
life here; he cannot, and would not
II he could, return to us. Behind
the storm clouds always turks the
rd'bow and when the storm is past ii
weeps upon the towers. Darkness
precedes the dawning and out .. tie
blackness of night comes the sub.
shine and Joy of the day. And Sc
from the beauty Of bis life we can
take an inspiration and go forth to
live as he lived, So that when tho
summons comes we can say as he
did, "All is well.''
Henry Barker Wilson was born in
Bentonsport, Van Buren, county, Ia.
In 1850 and died at his home in this
city Wednesday morning, Septem-
Der Is, 1920. He was united in
marriage to Kathryn Foss in Millers-
burg, Iowa, in the year 1878, moving
to Audubon in the year 1880, To
this union eight children were born,
six of whom survive as follows: Mrs.
Flora B. Freeman, Frank Wilson
and Will Wilson of Audubon; Mrs.
Verge B. Bruntlett of Vivian, S. D.;
Mrs. Margaret C. Reinemund of
San Diego, Calf; and Mrs. Gladys
NJ Spenle of Chicago. There are
also two nieces, one nephew, Mrs.
G.. III. Hughes of Cicero, JILL, Mrs
Reese Davis of FIT. Wayne, Ind, and

REPUBLICANS ARE WINNERS
Maine Election Monday Gives G. o.
p. Largest Vote In History

Maine gave an overwhelming
plurality to the republican ticket in
the state election Monday. With
a total vote larger by $1,000 than
the biggest ever previously cast in
the state, Frederic H. Parkhurst of
Bangor, Me-, was elected governor
by a margin of $1,000 over his dem
.ocratic opponent, Bertrand G. Nc
Intyre of Norway. The plurality
was 1900 more than the largest
obtained by any other gubernatorial
candidate in the history of the state.
Four republican congressman were
elected by large pluralities. Con-
gresham Wallace H. White, jr.,
John A. Peters and Ira G. Hersey re-
tanned their seats and in the first
district where Congressman Louis B.
Goodall, republican, did not seek re-
election, Carroll L. Beedy of Port
land, republican, vas chosen.
Every member of the state senate
will be republican, while of mem
bership of ISL in the state house of
representatives the democrats sue
ceeded in electing 10. In the last
legislature there were two demo-
cratic senators and Al democratic
representatives.
The vote of the state for governor
with returns from 40 small towns
and plantations in remote districts
missing was: Parkhurst (r) 1887
and Mcintyre, (d) 69,249.
Colonel Parkhurst gave the view
point of the republicans in state
ment. He said the campaign had
been vigorously contested by the
democrats Oh national issues and
that the outcome gave most con-
elusive evidence that the voters of
Maine resent the autocratic and un-
American administration that the
democrats have given u.s." He de-
clared that il was equally an in
dorsement OF Harding and Cool
idge."

RoARnIN SESSION

The board Of supervisors of Audi
bon county was In session at the aud
itor's Office Monday and Tuesday of
this week. Monday morning at ten
o'clock was the time set for the hear
ing of objections to the proposed
drainage district in Douglas town
ship. Four land owners appeared
in person and petitions were filed by
thirteen claiming damages to their
land amounting TO s73,600.
However the board talked with
those present and very carefully con-
sidered every claim filed. 1t was
their decision however that the mat
ter was a necessity and instructed
the county auditor to appoint two ap-
praisers and an engineer who are to
look into the matter of damages and
make report to the board at a
meeting to be held in this city oc-
tober 18th.

CONE TO CONCORDANCE

Rev. d. ]. Shenton, pastor OF the
Methodist church left Monday morn
ing for the annual conference of the
church which Is to be held at Winter
set this year. The conference will
be presided over by Bishop Stuntz
and began its deliberations yester-
day morning. 1t will continue in
session until next Monday.
The church here has asked for
the return of Mr.. Shenton and II is
the desire of all that he be returned.
His first year with the church has
been very successful. Many new
members have been added and all de-
partments of the church have made a
steady and substantial growth. Mr..
Shenton has many friends outside Of
his church who are eager to have
him return.
Unless some unforeseen matters
arise 1t unreasonable to suppose that
the request will be acquiesed in.

AUDUBON TEAM WINS

The Audubon base ball team play
ed another winning game last Sun
day when they defeated the Atlantic
Greys to the tune OF 6 to g. The
visitors were outplayed, though they
were as good team as has played in
Audubon this season. On account of
the tournament at Guthrie Center
the attendance was not as large as
ordinary, but the playing was of a
high order. 1t may be possible that
another game will be played before
the close of the season, but so far no
team has been booked for next Sun
day
The battery for Audubon was
Griffith and Stafford.
