How to Change Your Name.

A new state law which went into
effect July 4, is that governing the
changing of ones name. Heretofore the
court only had the authority to grant a
change of name. 1t is now different.
Anyone who wishes to change his name
must, according to law, file with the
clerk of the district court complete
description of himself, and full list Of
real estate held under his name. He
must state that he is resident of the
county and give his reason for seeking
to change his name. These together
with number Of other statements Of
the applicant are placed on file by the
clerk, who will ALSO see that the prop
erbg listed in the recorders book under
hhe applicants old name is ,reentered un-
Ftder the new name. II the property
be in another county or static, the
proper officers are notified just the
Same. After thirty days from the tane

Uncle Dan Emmett Dead.

The author Of the we'll known south
ern song, "Dixie," Uncle Dan Emmett,
died at his home in Mt. Vernon, Ohio,
on June 2Sth, in his ninetieth year.
There is scarcely an audience in the
United States that has not applauded
when the familiar strains of this song
have been heard. The popularity of the
piece became universal. 1t is singular
that this piece should gain such popu-
larity in the south, since it's author was
a northern man. 1t was written in 1858
for minstrel company, with which Mr..
Emmett was connected, and in the fol-
lowing presidential year became very
popular in the south. The story is told,
that in the closing days of the war, a
band played the tune in Washington
while marching past the White House.
Some one commented adversely on this
in the hearing of Mr.. Lincoln, who re-
marked that it was all right, for we had
captured it along with Lees army.

MORTUARY.
Edward Coffin

was born in Lysander, Onoudago county,
New York, in 1926. He was married to
Mary j. Stewart in 1S47, and in 1854
moved to Polo, ILL.,, where in 1872 he
suffered the bereavement in the loss of
his faithful and devoted companion.
In 1874 he moved to Tama Co., Iowa,
and thence to Decatur county in 1884.
He was the father of five children, three
of whom, Mrs. ]. W. womsley, of Green
field, Iowa, Mrs. Frank Riddle and John
Coffin, of Decatur, Iowa, are still living
and in attendance at the funeral. He
died of heart failure at the home his
daughter, Mrs. Riddle, July 2S, 1904,
aged 79 years, months and 10 days.
Mr.. Coffin was worthy and excellent
man, quiet, strictly honest and con-
scientiously moral. He was devoted
and affectionate husband and kind,
exemplary father.
He never was a member of any church
but those who know how honestly and
upright he lived have no doubt of his
preparation for the future. The funer-
al services were held at the home and
he was buried in the Decatur cemetery.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
FOR WEEK ENDING AUG. l., '04.
Des Moines, Iowa.

Des Moines, Iowa.
Though slightly cooler than usual. the
last week in July was generally favor
able for harvest operations and normal
advancement Of immature crops. The
rainfall was light in four-fifths of the
state, and excessive in small areas in
the central and northern sections.
Except in scattered localities, the
weather conditions were favorable for
securing the bulk of the hay crop in ex-
cellent condition, and all reports indi-
cate that the quality is superior to the
output of recent years. The oats har-
west is practically completed except in
the northern counties, and threshing
from the shock is in progress. The
quality Of the grain is up to the average.
ihe wheat harvest is nearing complet-
ion, and numerous reports are received
OF serious damage by blight and rust,
which will materially lessen the yield
and impair the quality of the grain.
The barley crop is fairly good.
Corn is making very good progress in
all parts OF the state, the more advanced
portion of the crop being about normal
IN size and caring heavily. The potato
crop is doing well, except in few local
tiles where it is affected by rot. The
apple crop maintains it's early promise
except where the fruit has been blown
of by high winds.

School Will Commence Late.

AT the regular meeting of 4 he Leon
school board Tuesday evening the date
for the opening of the schools the COM
ing year was fixed for the third Monday
in September, the 10Th. This is later
than usual but on account of the Leon
reunion being held Sept. 13 to IL, just
week after the schools would open it
was thought best to postpone the open
ing until after the reunion, as with the
reunion going on large number of the
scholars would be out of school and the
temptation for others to play truant
would be too great to resist.
The course of study is being revised
and brought up to date and there will
be few changes in the text books to
be used as some of those now in use are
out OF date. Prof. Pierce and his teach
ers did excellent work the past wear
and years experience has shown him
where the course of study was deficient
and it will be remedied.
The election of janitors for the en-
suing year resulted in the reelection of

A THREE-RING SHOW COMING.
Wallace's High-Class Circus Will
Exhibit Here in the Near Future

The Great Wallace Shows have COM
pleted all arrangements to exhibit in
Leon, Saturday, August 18th.
The Great Wallace Show has advanced
rapidly during recent years, until it has
reached the front rank of tented enter
prises, and is one of the biggest on the
road. 1t advertizes a greater number
OF features than any other show, and,
Judging from the comments of the press,
the commercial travellers, and others
who have seen it, the Wallace Show
produces all it advertises. With the
Wallace Shows from six to eight acts
are to be seen at one time in the three
rings, hippodrome track, on the stage,
and in mid-air. The management of
show the size of Wallaces does not ex-
pect the people to be able to watch all
OF the many features, but they arrange
to have several acts of various kinds at
the same time, so that the spectator
may take his choice, and enjoy those he
admires most. Since peoples tastes
differ, it is necessary fora circus the
size of the Wallace show to be cosmo-
politan in character, in order that all
may be pleased, and those who have
seen it knows that it pleases and salts
ties the most critical.
The Great Wallace Shows will posi-
lively appear in Leon, Saturday, Aug.
l3, for one day only, giving two per-
formances.

tiff is resident of the town Of Weldon,
and was married to defendant at Osce-
ola on May 30, 1899, and lived with her

always treated her as dutiful and low

violation of her marriage vows and in
disregard of morality, publicly in
suited him in the presence of their chill
dren by using .blasphemous and obscene
language to him, would knock her chill
dren down and swear at them, and is
entirely unfit to have the care and GUS
tody of them. That she has accused
him in the presence of relatives and
friends with being intimate with other
women, and such acts have produced
great mental strain and suffering, and
would if continued greatly endanger
and injure his health. He asks for de-
cree of divorce and the care and Gus
tody Of their three children, George l.
aged four years, Roy A. aged three
years, and Cleo aged 2 months. A. P.

Turn Him Down.

The fellow engaged in getting out
catalogues for rural routes will prob
ably be around soon. He calls upon
merchants to get an ad for his catalogue
claiming that his rural route patrons
will boycott those who refuse to adver-
tie in the catalogue. OF course he
gets the ad and then he sells the list of
rural reuters to the department houses
to use in working up mail order bust
ness. It's slick trick and comes in
just right for that class of merchants
who are always throwing money away
on that kind of advertising Albany

EYES ON QUAY
BROOKLYN PAPER SAYS He
HOLDS KEY TO WHOLE
SITUATION.
Brooklyn, Jan. 14.-The Brooklyn

Brooklyn, Jan. 14.-The Brooklyn
Eagle says:
President Roosevelt's nomination
depends on the issue of negotiations
now in progress between the founders
of McKinleyism as a republican policy
and the party leaders of dominant re-
publican states who appear to have
followed Roosevelt in his departure
from McKinleyism. Senator Quay
holds the key to the situation and an
appeal has been made to him by the
opponents of Roosevelt. Mr.. Quay
has been informed that Roosevelt's
nomination is opposed by Mckinley
republican interests of at least thir-
teen states.
Ten of these states, with an aggre-
gate of 131 votes in the electoral col
lege, voted for Mckinley in 1900, as
follows: Connecticut 6, Delaware 8,
Illinois "a, Kansas 10, Minnesota 9,
New Jersey 10, New York So, Ohio 26,
Oregon A. West Virginia 6. Three of
the states with thirty-four electoral
votes were carried by Mr.. Bryan: Col
orado, A, Kentucky 13, Missouri IL,
Roosevelt's friends in twenty-three
states and one territory have, by their
official state party organizations
pledged him 496 votes, or eleven more
than mojority. If Mr.. Quay accepts
the promises and subscribes to the de-
auctions of the Mckinley contingent
it may be expected that roundup of
anti-Roosevelt delegates will begin
with the first state republican conyen-
ton.

Welcome News.

This selection does much to offset
the fact that Mr.. Buchanan was not
elected speaker pro TEN of the house,
as originally planned by the members.
The honor was given to friend of the
administration in a factional political
sense. 1t is supposed that if Mr.. Blu
chanan reaps the Craftsmanship of one
of the best committees in the house,
his friends will be. Modified in their
disappointment because he was not
made speaker pro TEN.
Clarke Is Fearless,
Whatever attitude Speaker Clarke
occupied with reference to the com
plete organization of the house along
factional political lines, it is we'll i'm
derstood among all members and poll
ticians that he has been. Independent
and fearless in his assignment of COM
mittees. 1t is the belief of his large

committee assignment in particular.

presiding officer under any circum-
stances. One would prefer to work
on certain committees and that is the
only wish which the lieutenant COVER

While there has been no gossip and no
information as to Senator Harper the
belief is common that he will get one
of the good committees.
