VOL XXIX
WIFE OF THE
PRESIDENT IS DEAD
Hlniple Funeral Services Held at Her
Girlhood Home, Tuesday
Afternoon.
Mra. Woodrow Wilson, wife o(, the
nation's president, was buried Mon
day at Myrtle Hill cemetery, Rome.
Ga, Rain fell in torrents while the
casket was being lowered into the
grave, which is beside those of Mrs.
Wilson’s father and mother, almost
in sight of the house in which she
lived as a girl.
Simplicity marked the funeral of
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. In deference
to the wishes of the president, the
exercises were brief. There was a
forty-five minute service at the First
Presbyterian church, where Mrs.
Wilson's father, Rev. D. Edward 8.
Axson. was pastor for seventeen
years, and an even shorter ceremony
at Myrtle Hill cemetery.
Rome, the girlhood home of Mrs.
Wilson, awaited in sombre attire the
arrival of the funeral train from
Washington. Buildings in the busi
ness district and many residence sec
tions ware draped in black.
Traffic was closed early on the
streets through which the procession
was to pass from the railway station
to the church, and from the church
to the cemetery. Special policemen
and national guardsmen were on
patrol.
Because of the limited capacity of
the church, only members of the
family and close friends were invited
to be present. On arrival of the fu
neral train at 2:30 p. m., it was
planned to go at once to the church.
Two of the old hymns which were
Mrs. Wilsons favorites as a girl were
sung. Rev. Sylvester Beach of
Princeton, N. J., and the local pastor
Rev. D. G. G. Snyder, conducted the
ceremonies.
“BOB" COCHINS AT EXIRA
A large number of Audubon peo
ple beard Robt. G. Cousins on the lec
ture platform at the Chautauqua at
Exira last Saturday. All are unani
mous in their opinion that his lecture
was the greatest and grandest lec
ture ever delivered in Audubon
county. Mr. Cousins is reputed to
be America’s ablest orator, and all
who heard the distinguished lowan,
are convinced that the reputation is
well founded. Thereweremany others
who had planned to go but at the last
moment failed to secure transpora
tion accomodations.
The lecturer has been in lowa poli
tics thirty years or more, and during
that time served the second lowa
District in Congress several terms.
He is familiar with public men and
public affairs. He is still a young
man and will be heard from in the
years to come.
At the. close of the afternoon pro
gram Mr. Cousins met a number of
Audubon county people whom h*
knew while living in this city
uncle Ed. B. Cousins. He spent Sat
urday night and Sunday in Audubon,
leaving Monday morning Tor Storm
Lake where- be appeared at the Chau
tauqua Tuesday afternoon
GOV. CLARKE AT JACKSON VILEE
Geo. W. Clarke, governor at the
great state of lowa, was the principal
speaker at the big farmers picnic at
Jacksonville last Saturday afternoon.
Although a very busy season for the
farmers, many were out to enjoy the
picnic and to hear the Governor. Hon
O. H. Jacobsen, of Kimballton who
served in the last two sessions of the
legislature, introduced the governor
and when the speech was concluded a
large number went to shake hands
with lowa’s excellent chief executl/e.
He made a very good impression with
the voters and many who were luke
warm in his support are now enthu
siastically for him. The talk wts not
a political one Those from Audubon
who were present said all were great
ly impressed with Mr. Clarke's earn
estness and his honest endeavor to
meet present conditions.

SISTER OF H. WALTERS DEAD
The following high tribute is paid
to the sister of H. Walters of this
city, and was published in the Demo
crat-Herald of Belle Plaine last
week:
“The death of Mrs. Roy Rusk Sat
urday at midnight came as a great
shock to a wide circle of friends. Al
though she had been in poor health
for the past year and under the doc
tors care it was not thought her ail
ment was of so serious a nature. Just
a week before her death her condi
tion became critical, she having been
taken with hemorrhage of the brain,
which resulted in her death.
Mrs. Rusk will be greatly missed
in the community as her cheery,
pleasant way made her general fav
orite.
The following obituary was read at
the funeral services Tuesday after
noon by Rev. E. G. Hunt who con

HOLD LAWN FETE
Monday of this week was the 37th
btrthay anniversary of Father Mc-
Donald. In honor of the occasion
several of the lady members of the
church got up, and with the aid of
about 50 members, perpetrated a
complete surprise on their pastor. All
came in the evening with well filled
baskets and upon the parochial lawn
a most delicious spread was served,
which was enjoyed by those present.
Father McDonald was most delight
fully surprised and thanked them all
for their kind remembrance of him
on this auspicious occasion. Before
taking their departure the members
presented Father with a substantial
purse of money and some silverware,
and wished him many more such
happy birthdays. «
MERIT WINS POSITION
The following from the Register &
Leader will be of interest to Audubon
people as Mr. Ketchum is known
here, his wife being a daughter of
John Sherman, a former Audubon
county farmer:
“Charles M. Ketchum, secretary to
Representative Green of the Ninth
district, has been chosen secretary
and publicity expert of the board of
trade of Washington, Pa. The compe
tition for the place was keen, as
Washington is one of the live cities
of Pennsylvania. Mr. Ketchum, who
has had valuable newspaper and
other experience, won out, because
of his record. A man familiar with
the boosting methods of western
cities was wanted."

RINGLING DAY
ALMOST HERE
Big Circus Bound This Way on Five
Great Trains Loaded With
Wonders.
Children are now on their best be
havior in anticipation of a real holi
day treat on August 18 when Ring
ling Brothers’ Worlds’ Greatest
Shows will exhibit in At
lantic. It is expected that Audubon
will send more than its usual number
of “sawduet fans” to welcome this
popular circus.
Ringling Brothers promise many
novelities and Innovations and
a “bigger and better everything” is
the slogan. Preceding the regular
circus performance the new spect
acle of Solomon and the Queen of
Sheba"will be enacted on the largest
stage in the world. This mammonth
1,250 character pageant cost $1,000,-
000 and the costumes, scenery and
stage properties are said to be a rev
elation in gorgeousness. Among the
385 arenlc acts are scores of eques
trians including the Lloyds, famous
English riders, the Borsinis, rolling
globe artists; the Balkanis. whirl
wind riders from the Balkan moun
tains; the five highest perch acts ever
presented; boxing and wrestling
kangaroos; five herds of trick ele
phants; 50 clowns, 20 families of
aerialtsts and a magnificent horse
show and speed tournament. The
menagerie is larger and more com
plete than ever before exhibited in
America. A free street parade will
be given on the morning of show day.
ASK FOR HIS RETURN
At the last quarterly conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church, held
on Monday, Rev. A. A. Walburn, who
has been the pastor for the past year,
was requested to be returned to this
charge for another year. During a
part of the year just past the health
of Mr. Walburn has not been the best,
at times, which hindered very much
in his work. During the time he has
done much of foundation work which
will bear fruit in time to come, but
together with this much has been
done to advance the cause which is
now in evidence. Mr. Walburn is
what you might term a shirt sleeve
preacher. He is just common, every
day in his manners, and the simple
fact that you do not wear the best of
clothes for any reason does not affect
him one bit, and he is just as willing
to grasp your hand in good fellowship
in overalls as in broadcloth. His
sermons are direct and to the point
—no half measures or dodges go—
just the plain gospel truth. Should
the conference return him to Ham
burg for another year, we feel it will
be a good move both for the church
and the town in general.—Hamburg
Reporter.
TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS
We have during the past been very
lenient with our delinquent sub
scribers. most all of whom were for
mer residents of Audubon but are
now scattered to the four winds of
the earth, and reside in the various
states of the union. During the past
week we have sent a statement of
account to all those who are in ar
rears and we hope that they will be
kind enough to make a remittance
by return mail. Unless a remittance
is promptly mailed, their names will
be dropped from our subscription
list and the account placed in the
hands of attorneys ’ for collection.
We have been, at heavy expense
during the past summer installing
new machinery, and we hope our
readers have appreciated the effort
we have made to give them more live
reading matter than any other news
paper published in Audubon county.
In order to continue to publish a
good live newspaper, we must have
money. By giving this matter
prompt attention, our readers will
confer a great favor on yours truly.
'TIS 12 O’CLOCK—GOOD-NIGHT
A jolly bunch of the Audubon
young folks, known as the Picnic
Club, choose Exira and the Chautau
qua Thursday night as the scene of
another good time. Unusual weather
conditions favored the trip and the
machines had no mishaps on the road.
Picnic supper was spread in the
park in time to enter Chautauqua
but a short time after the opening
number. The big band seemed to be
enjoyed by all, though it is rumored
that some people got a liitle too hi
larious for Audubon's good reputa
tion.
Upon returning to Audubon the
joy-riders found it inviting to drive
'round via Ross to strike the road
home. The remains of several water
melons testify to the fact that the
moon witnessed one grand pow-wow
before midnight found them back in
town.
SPECIAL FIRE POLICE
Last Thursday night a meeting of
the fire department was held at the
fire hall and the regular business at
tended to. During the recent fire in
the Howald block it was almost im
possible for the members of the fire
department to reach the seat of the
fire, because of too large a crowd, not
only of small boys, but grown people
standing in the way, greatly hamper
ing the fire boys in the performance
of their duty. During the meeting,
the matter of appointing tour special
police officers to keep back crowds
at fires was brought up, and decided
upon. The following officers were
appointed and will draw the same
pay that the firemen receive: Gene
Johnson, H. A. Northup, Chas. Sun
berg and Geo. Townsend. When ap
proached by any of these officers dur
ing a fire, it is hoped that no one
will take offense as it is done for the
betterment of the citys welfare.
MARRIED AT CARROLL
Ray Faust, a son of Mr. and Mrs.
George Faust of Exira and Mias Edna
Wells, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Wells of Audubon went to Car
roll Saturday where on Monday
morning at 10:30 o’clock they were
united in marriage by a Justice of
the Peace. Mr. Faust is employed
by E. E. Bailey as a painter, and with
his wife will make their home in
Audubon at the Arlington Hotel.
Their many friends will wish them
every success in life. They returned
to Audubon Monday on the evening
train. We are informed that Jim
Nelson of Carroll an Miss Marie
Faust of Exira were married ' ' the
same time.
AUDUBON, IOWA THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1914
WERE STOPPED AT NEW YORK
Peter Petersen and Jeppe Nelson
of Fiscus who had planned a trip to
Denmark and expected to set sail for
the land of their nativity thefore part
of the month, found on reaching New
York that the “New Fatherland,” on
which they had secured passage,
would not sail on account of war con
ditions in Europe.
This news in a measure, was dis
appointing. but inasmuch as neither
of the gentlemen cared to enlist in
any of the armies, they decided it
would be best for them to postpone
their trip indefinitely. They did not
propose to come back, to Audubon
county, however, without seeing at
least a part of "America First."
The two gentlemen spent consider
able time sight seeing in New York
City, going out to see the Statute of
Liberty and a boat ride up the Hud
son river. They went from New
York to Washington. D. C., and were
more than delighted with the many
interesting sights at the Nations
Capitol. They went ta the office of
Congressman Green but he was out
of -the city, so his secretary, Chas.
Ketchum took them in charge. The
Smithsonian Institute, the Mint, the
Navy Yards and the Congressional
Library were of special interest to
the visitors. Mr. Nelson served in
the navy in Denmark some 30 years
ago and of course the Navy Yards
was of interest to him. They were
privileged to board the president's
yacht and were accorded many other
privileges through the courtesy of
Mr. Ketchum.
While in the office yesterday, Mr.
Nelson stated that they enoyed the
trip in the east almost as well as
they would have enjoyed the trip
abroad, and though they did not get
to sail on the “New Fatherland.” they
were on the big ship and got to see
what a magnificent ship it was.
Mr. Petersen and Mr. Nelson stopp
ed at various other points of interest
on their return home, such as going
to Mt. Vernon, the home of Geo.
Washington, Georgetown, National
Cemetery and many points of interest
around Pittsburg. Not having been
able to sail, the amount of money
paid for their steamship tickets,
which they bought through F. W.
Smith, will be refunded to them.
Newspaper readers have seen much
of the word ”mobiliz»tfon” during
the past week, and there probably
have been few who hive had any
thing more than a very' hazy idea of
what the word signifies. The Brook
lyn Eagle gives the following ex
planation:
“Just what does mobilization
mean? This question, more than
any other, has been on the lips of
readers of war news during the past
week. The dispatches have been full
of assertions like the following: If
Russia mobilizes. Germany will de
clare war.” German mobilization to
be followed by French invasion.’ But
there has been no explanation why
whatever action this military Jerm
connotes, should be so provocative of
inter-national disturbance.
The fact is that mobilization is the
step which must precede the first
overt act of war and usually the mob
ilization of an army is immediately
followed by either a declaration of
war or some overt act of war. Con
sidered purely as a tecnlcal military
term, mobilization means drawing to
the different military units —battil-
ion, battery or squadron—the num
ber of reserves which brings it up to
its -full war strength, but its signifi
cance only becomes apparent in con
sidering everything that this involves.
“In a country like Germany, with
a military machine of gigantic pro
portions, .fired, oiled, with steam in
the boilers, ready to respond to the
touch of a lever at the Kaiser's word
ordering moblization—and he alone
is authorized to give it—sets into mo
tion 2.000,000 separate units.”
A beautiful home wedding occured
at Lake View, lowa, on Thursday,
Aug. 6, at three o'clock when Miss
Etta Spencer, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. R. Spencer, formerly resi
dents of Audubon county was married
to Charles E. Day.
Promptly at 3:00 o'clock Miss
Mamie Spencer, niece of the bride
took her place at the piano and play
ed a beautiful introductory piece, af
ter which Miss Bertha Day, sister of
the bride groom sang a solo accom
panied by Mamie Spencer. During
the beautiful ring ceremony of the
M. E. church. Miss Rose Weighton of
this city played very softly on the
piano and also throughout the con
gratulations. The home was decorat
ed with English Jasmine and sweet
peas, the color scheme being pink and
white.
The bride was dressed in a lovely
white dress with touches of pink on
it, while the groom wore blue serge.
Dainty refreshments were served
by four young ladles also dressed in
pink and white.
The same evening the happy couple
boarded the train for Fort Dodge
on their way to Wisconsin where
thex will visit Mr. Day’s sister re
turning to Early, lowa, in time for
Mr. Day to take up his work as Sup
erintendent of the public schools on
Sept. 7th.
CANNING FACTORY RUNNING
The Audubon Canning Company
commenced operations in their fac
tory last Monday noon, with a good
sized force. The corn is in splendid
condition and from all indications,
the pack this year will be the largest
and of the best quality since the
factory has been running under the
present management. Mr Loveland
is proving to be the right man in the
right place and during the next six
weeks he will have a big force at
work day and night. Audubon is
proud of this splendid business enter
prise.
SCHOOL OPENS SEPTEMBER 7th
The local schools will begin their
year's work on Monday, September
7th. As usual, there will be quite a
large number of rural pupils in the
school, and some of these will care
to work for their room or their
board, or will at least care to earn
something that will help them in car
ing for these items of expense. Any
one desiring a pupil to help with
house work or to tak’i care of a fur
nace or to do any other kind of odd
Jobs in 'stores, etc., should phone or
see Mr. Johansen.

—A dispatch from Rome to the Cen

publishes a telegram from the fron
tier stating that an Austrian cavalry
brigade has been exterminated on the
Austria-Russian frontier.
The Austrian cavalrymen are said
to have attacked the Cossacks, who
were accompanied by artillery. They
were unable to hold their own and
tried to get back across the frontier,
but rain had fallen and the men and
horses were caught in the marshy
ground and shot down until not a
man remained alive. '
FALLS FROM WAGON AND
IS SERIOUSLY INJURED
A distressing accident took place
yesterday afternoon at the home of
Cassie Root, two and a half miles
northwest of Larland when Ivan
Root, the 16 year old son fell from
a load of small grain he was hauling
from the field to the threshing ma
chine.
Young Root was crossing a little
ravine with the load of grain. In
crossing this ravine he lost his bal
ance and fell off the load onto the
horses. This frightened the team
and the horses ran away. The lad
fell under the wagon which passed
over his body crushing three ribs,
breaking a bone back of the ear and
causing other serious bruises. Last
night he was still in a serious con
dition, but this morning he is some
what improved and the attending
physician has hopes of his recovery
unless the injuries should bring on
a paralized condition.
FELL FROM BARN THIS MORNING
Chris Petersen, a carpenter fell
from the roof of the new barn that
is being built on the Wm. McLeran
farm, one and a half miles west of
town early this morning. He with
another carpenter were shingling the
roof when the scaffolding broke. Pet
ersen was the only one to fall to the
ground and it is difficult to determine
how seriously he was injured. A
physician was called to attend the
injured man. No bones are broken
but he may have sustained internal
injuries. ,
PROMINENT COUPLE MARRIED
Last Saturday at the home of Rev.
E. B Cousins, Nels C. Christensen

Sunday afternoon on the local dia
raond. the Elk Horn base hath team
defeated Audubon, in a well played
and clean game of base ball. A fair
sized crowd witnessed the game,
quite a number accompanying the
visiting team. The Audubon team
was unable to place the ball any
where else but in the hands of the op
posing team. The feature play of the
game was a trippie one pulled off by
Booten, when he caught a fly ball,
stepped on Ist base, retiring the re
turning runner from second and then
throwing the ball to 2nd base, retir
ing the returning runner from 3rd.
The game was well played by both
teams and the fans were all satisfied.

Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Long have re
turned from their summer vacation
which extended over a month. After
a visit at Marshalltown with rela
tives they went to Chicago and later
to Eagle River. Wisconsin, where
Mr. Long is supposed to have caught
fish of such tremendous proportions
that he is afraid to tell his Manning
friends about it. On their return
home they made a stop at Marshall
town and while there Mr. Long re
ceived word that his brother, 8. W.
Long, yardmaster for the C. B. & Q.
at Galesburg, 111., had met with an
accident while switching in the yards
and had suffered the loss of a leg.
They immediately went to Galesburg
to be at the bedside of the injured
brother whose recovery was consider
ed very doubtful. While Mr. Long
remains at Galesburg his wife will
spend several days in Chicago to pur
chase a full and complete line of mil
linery for her store in this city.

dlemen.” Then when the lumber is unloaded ift
our Yard, we watch each piece carefully. Any
that is not absolutely first-class is put aside and
sold at a cheaper price.
You are sure of what you are buying
We have a bigetock of this clean, bright kind of
lumber, Fir, Cypress, Yellow Pine and White Pine,
and we like to figure on lumber bills. Call and see
us for a single piece or 'a carload.

A DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL
Prof. Chas. A. Fullerton, Super
visor of music in the State Teachers
College at Cedar Falls, was in Aud
ubon lust Saturday calling upon the
County Superintendent and others in
the interest of having a demonstra
tion school in this county. This is
a new departure by the Teachers
College which has been tried out in
a number of rural schools in the
vicinity of Cedar Falls during the
past year with very satisfactory re
sults. The purpose of the faculty is
to establish one in each county in our
state. The plan followed is to send
a well-trained teacher to the school
that may be selected, the college
paying whatever it is necessary to
add to the wages of the district to
secure one who is thoroughly prepar
ed to do first class work. The school
will be visited at intervals by an ex
pert from the college to assist in
bringing the work to the highest
grade of efficiency so that tt may be
a worthy example to follow by other
teachers and schools in the county.
Miss Stearns took Mr. Fullerton
and A. C. Ross out to Douglas town
ship to see a fine modern school
building just completed, and they
were delighted with its arrangement
and construction. In its seating,
heating, lighting and convenience it
seems to be without criticism. It
surely is a long way from the log
house and slab seats of Ye Olden
time.
