The State and Elsewhere.

The indications at the time of going
to press are that Gov: Cummins has
carried the state by about $4,000, the
total vote being somewhat lighter than
it was in 1901, and the democrats max
ing some gains.
The Indications are that Marion f.
Stookey is elected state senator from
this district by 1900, carrying Deca-
tur county by 81, Ringgold by 800, and
Union by 300.
In the legislature the democrats have
made decided gain this year.
One of the biggest surprises is from
New York where Tammamy won out by
from $4,000 to 10000.
The republicans were successful in
Ohio, defeating Tom johnson by about
sO,OOO
In Maryland the result is very close
but the indications are that the demo-
cratic candidate for governori is elected.

In Louisiana.

The combined attractions of a new
melodrama, from the pen of that pro-
life and usually dependable dramatist,
Robert Bill Lougmire, is worth seeing.
The company presenting In Louisiana
are more than evenly balanced and
fully sustain the reputation Mr.. Oliver
Labadie has earned for always having
thoroughly efficient players in his sup
port. The scenic effects are the hand
soonest and most complete that have
ever been seen in amelodrama company.

Mary Ray.

Friends in this city were shocked
last Wednesday evening when mess
age was received announcing the death
OF Miss Mary Ray, one of the most pop
ular young ladies who ever resided in
Leon, at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Joe Prichard, in Trenton, Mo-, although
it had been known she had been very
sick for the past two months. About
the first of September she went to Kan
sas City as usual to trim few weeks in
a wholesale millinery store, but was
taken sick with typhoid fever soon
after she arrived in that city. She was
quite low for several weeks, but re-
covered sufficiently to be taken to the
home of her sister at Princeton. Here
careful nursing had enabled her to al
most recover from the fever when other
complications set in which resulted in
her death.
Mary Catharine Ray was the young
est daughter of Capt. and Mrs. j. A.
Ray. She was born in Charlton, Iowa,
Feb. a, 1867, and at an early age remov-
CT with her parents to Leon, where
virtually all her life has been spent.
She was loved and respected by every
one. Both parents died few years
ago and one sister, Mrs. Joe Prichard,
of Princeton, Mo-, and two brothers, Nj.
M. Ray, Of Leon, and Will Ray, of
Atchison, Kan, are left to mourn the
loss of loving and devoted sister.
Her remains were brought to Leon
Friday afternoon and taken to the
home of A. j. Allen where the funeral
was held Saturday morning at o'clock,
conducted by Rev. w. nj. Gardner, a
Presbyterian minister of Reedsville,
Penna, interment being in the Leon
cemetery by the side of her parents.
Those from a distance who attended
the funeral were: Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Prichard, Olin Prichard, Miss Lois Cock
rell, Miss Dollie Steckman, Princeton,
Mo-, Will Ray, Atchison, Kas.; B. f.
Bates, Mrs. r. B. Van Dyke, Charlton.
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful, testifying in mute admiration
to the love and esteem of her many
friends.

Marriage OF Miss Jess BedIer.

Tonight on No. 5, Miss Jess Leora
Bedler wild leave this city, in company
with Mrs. 7. G. Hickman, mother of her
future husband, and Mrs. Henry Fahr-
meyess hef sister, for Nampa, Ida. At
that place, these three will be met by
Mr. Cardwell Hickman, to whom on Sun
day in Boise City, Miss Bedier will be
married. The young people will make
their home at Boise City, where Mr..
Hickman has a position with wholesale
grocery house. Mrs. T. G. Hickman and
Mrs. Fahrmeyer will be absent from
here about two weeks.
Miss Bedier will leave behind her to-
night hosts of devoted and admiring
| friends, all of whom are as one in wish
lug her and her husband-to-be the com
pletest measure of happiness and pros
perity. During the four years that this
young lady has spent in Grand Junction
she has always figured with prominence
in social circles. She possesses certain
admirable traits inherited from her
| French ancestors that have made her
company highly attractive. A ready
conversationalist, she is never at a loss
for a good answer or ready reply. In
appearance she is most pleasing, being
the owner of a handsome face and a
graceful figure.
Already many splendid gifts have
been received by Miss Bedier. Her
parents who reside in Leon, Iowa, have
sent her a check for $1,000, the equal
OF which was given to each of the other
daughters when they We're welded; not
to mention a complete outfit of linen
and numerous costly and elegant arti-
cles of wearing apparel. From other
relatives and friends, she has received
pieces cut glass and many useful
presents for the equipment of home
Her wardrobe is one of which a lady
may he proud. Two Of her gowns are to
arrive from the east. One of these is OF
blue zibeline, made military style, with
lstrappings of white broadcloth and lined
with white satin.
The new Mr.. and Mrs. Hickman will
not go to housekeeping at once but will
board the first few weeks. Grand juno
tion Colo, Evening Sun.

Nola Groves pullen.

Ones age, position, or state life is
no proof against the visitation of death.
The old and familiar saying that "the
aged must die, and the young may die
finds a painful illustration in the
present instance. Nola Groves Pullen,
youngest daughter of Lewis and Sarah
Pullen was born in Rock island county,
ILL.,, January %, 1887, and died in
Leon, Iowa, November 2, 1908, being Is
years, 5 months and days of age.
When she was years of age her parents
moved to Leon where they have since
resided, consequently all her schooling
was obtained in the Leon schools. Two
years more would have suficed for her
to have finished the high school course.
One of her most cherished ambitions
was to accomplish this task. Nola was
always gentle, modest and kind, and
therefore highly esteemed and loved by
all who knew her. From her earliest
years she has been religiously inclined.
These connections and inclinations were
expressed in her public espousal of
Christ and His service less than year
since. On the 10Th day of last July she
was baptised and received into the
church in full membership. Since two
years of age her health has been infirm,
hence all her life she has suffered in
body more or less. Her final sickness
was of comparative brief duration, vet
her suffering was intense. But in the
midst of it all she made brave effort
for life, and manifested high degree of
patience and fortitude. Loving hands
and hearts performed every service
within human power, but God has seen
best to call her to the heavenly sphere
where, under such conditions as the
world can never afford, her character
will reach it's highest development and
perfection. Until the last she retained
consciousness and the last words which
escaped her lips were mother, father
and Jesus, words which to her repre-
sented the most precious things of life.
Funeral services were conducted in the
NJ. p. church on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd, by
the pastor, Rev. l. N. Woodward assist
ed by Rev. III. II. Hubbell and Rev. Chas.
Reeder. The church was beautifully
and tastefully decorated by the mem
bers of the High school. The remains
were laid to rest in the Leon cemetery.

THE RING REBUKED.

The result of the election in Decatur
county is certainly a stinging but
merited rebuke to the little ring Of
railroad politicians, the self appointed
bosses OF the republican party, for with
the single exception of surveyor, every
man on the republican ticket, which
was dictated and nominated by the ring,
goes down to defeat by big maiorities.
And this too in the face of the republi-
can majority on the state ticket of
nearly 400, showing that the opposition
to the ring was not confined to "a few
"bolting" republicans. The voters of
Decatur county are heartily sick and
tired of the bossism and ring rule which
has prevailed here under direction of
the railroad politicians, and will no
|longerssubmit to their bossing. In the
Republican party of this county are
aRrge number OF we'll informed and in-
iteHisent republicans who openly made
a fight against the ring and its candi-
dates and without whose assistance
the success of the democratic county
ticket could not have been accomplish
ed. The thanks Of the democratic cam
didates should be given to them, and it
has certainly taught the bosses a lesson.
There is going to be new republican
party in Decatur county, for unless the
ring lays down and submits to the ex-
pressed will of the voters no republican
can hope to be elected in this county
for several years. The doom of the
Leon ring was sealed last Tuesday and
the bosses will have to take back
seat

THE REsULT.,.

lnE RESULI.l
1t had been predicted by the knowing
ones that there would be a landslide in
Decatur county this year, but even the
such a glorious victory as was accom-
plished at the polls Tuesday. Last year
the republican majority on the head of
the ticket was $40, This year Gov.
Cummins has a majority Of 335 and
Marion II. .Stookey only has majority
OF SO i'm his home county. Ed. 'Sankey,
the democratic candidate,for represen-
tatfwe defeats Capt. j. ID. Brown, the re-
publican candidate by AZ. Of course
everyone expected to see w. III. Young
reelected as treasurer, but did not look
for him TO have majority of 376. Tom
Wallace who came within Is votes of
years ago, did Just a little better this
yeaa, and has the handsome majority of
228. The voters sat down on ]. A. Me-
Intasf, the third term candidate for
county superillte land Eli Hutchin-'
son, the democratic candidate, hasa ma,
jority Of ia. Billy Edmondson;the demo-,
cratic candidate for member board has a
majority over T. A. Sutherlin of 251.
DR.. +. A. Bowman, defeats DIR. A. Brown,
the republican candidate for coroner
by 81. Jason Hollinger, the republican
candidate for surveyor is elected
over L. FL. Peck. the democratic
nominee by 4S. Mr.. Peck made
a magnificent showing. but was mot
candidate for the Office, made no cam
paign and the impression had gone out
that he would not accept the Office if
elected. The vote he received was
certainly q magnificent compliment.
Exit the Leon ring and railroad bosses.
Capt. j. D. Brown lost his own town
ship, Center, by 80 votes.
w. L. Edmondson has reason to be
proud of the vote Of his home township.
Tom Wallace carried Leon by 76 and
Center, r. d. Martins home township
by AZ.
Eli Hutchinson came very near get
ting every vote in Woodland, his home
township.
On last Friday an Alton physici-
an was called to visit B. Brosnahan.
There is nothing strange about this only
the fact that Mr.. Brosnahan is oveI
seventy years of age and this is the first
I time he ever called a doctor. While he
has large family and is one of our
pioneer residents it is the first time
doctor was ever in his house. This is
a record that few families in the state
] can equal Stap-Enterprise.
A man came in the other day with
what he thought was conundrum;
why is a newspaper like woman?'
The various answers We're: "Because it
has to have some one to run it, "Be-
cause both have to be known to be
appreciated" Because both are good
advertising mediums Because it
changes it's dress" The correct answer
is: Because every man should have
one Of his own and not be running after
his neighbors.'
