Wrestling News.

Leon's wrestler, James H. Alldredge,
who was recently defeated at Des
Moines in match with Doc Fillmore
whom he challenged for second match
for $500, has received word from Fill
more that he will not accept the chal-
lenge, and Mr.. Alldredge has had his
forfeit of $50 returned to him by the
sporting editor of the Des Moines News
who held it for four weeks waiting for
Fillmore to accept.
The REPORTER is in receipt of chal-
lenge from o. w. Sheford, who writes
from Correctionville, Iowa, in which he
offers to wager that Alldredge cannot
throw him six times in an hour of actual
wrestling time for side bet of 800 to
$500. Shefford says he only weighs 140
pounds, and Alldredge informs us that
he is ready to give him match in this
city.
The REPORTER is also in receipt Of a
challenge from Martin Lewis, Of Sioux
City, who wants Alldredge to throw him
three times in an hour, and Mr.. ALL
dredge says he will also accommodate
him after he has pulled off match with
Shefford.

Good Horse Sale.


Notwithstanding the fearful condi-
tion of the roads the big horse sale held
in this city last Saturday by the Leon
Horse Co., was decided success, 90
head being sold and some of them
brought fancy prices. @. NJ. Axes sold
his fine bay driving team at this sale to
r. A. Haywood, horse buyer from
Chicago for $362.75, and a fine little
black driving team owned by r. e. CAL
loway, Of Weldon, was sold to Bert Stiles,
of Garden Grove for $280.0O, Stiles SELL
ing them the same day to Frank Gray,
buyer from Ohio for $4,000. There
were several buyers here and prices on
all kinds Of horses ranged pretty good.
The Leon Horse Co. have reputation
of always having good horses in their
sales and they are sold in hurry.
That is why the sales held in this city
are always success. In the morning
they also sold a lot Of sheep and cattle
at public auction. The Leon Horse Co.
expect to hold another big sale some
time during the coming month.

Gets a Fast Horse.

From the Carl Junction, Mo-, World,
we clip the following notice of the pur-
chase of a speedy mare by Joe L. War
ner, the former jeweler of this city. The
World says:
Joe Il. Warner, the enterprising jewel
er of this city, is now the proud owner
Of Flower Girl, the well known Joplin
pacing mare. Flower Girl has paced a
half mile in 1:04, and mile in zoos,
showing an eighth at two minute clip.
She is standard bred mare and regis
tered and has proved her standard by
her performances. The mare has won
derful speed and is a picture of beauty.
Mr.. Warner was fortunate in being
able to purchase the favorite Of the
Joplin track public and has reasons for
being proud of the animal.

Judge Miller Turned Down.

| deal which has been on foot AMONG.
1.-The stand-patter clement of the repuh-
lican party to swat every Cummins man
whenever the opportunity offers, has
shown itself in the matter of the nomi-
mating of a Judge to succeed Judge
Miller, of Bedford, who was appointed
to the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of Judge r. L. Parrish. H. K. Evans,
of Corydon, who was also candidate for
the appointment has since been hard at
work to secure the nomination at the
coming republican convention to be held
at Creston next Tuesday, and from pres
ent indications he has won in walk
and Judge Miller will be retired to pri-
vate life. Evans has already secured
the delegations from Ringgold, Clarke,
Union and Wayne and it is foregone
conclusion that the stand-patters will
deliver Decatur county to him, and the
indications are that Evans will also
receive Adams county's vote, the home
of Judge Towner. This will leave
Miller with only his home county, Tay-
lor, and he has no more show of getting
the nomination than rabbit. 1t has
been conceded that Judge Miller was
eminently qualified for the position, and
has given entire satisfaction on the
bench, but is in disfavor with the stand
patters and the edict has gone forth
that he must be sacrificed, a martyr to
the fight being waged against Gov.
Cummins and his followers. Such, is
republican politics in Iowa.

School Entertainment.

The opera house was well filled last
Friday evening to witness the charming
little cantata, "The Qneen's Surprise"
rendered by the pupils of the lower
grades at the north school building and
they were well repaid, for although tho
program was rather short the little
folks acquitted themselves in very
crediitble manner. A pleasing feature Of
tho evening was the music by the school
orchestra under the leadership of Miss

musician for one Of her age, and con-

crackers created considerable amuse-
ment by their grotesque appearance and
comical actions. Enid Alexander ap-
peared in the leading role of the cantata
as Queen, Cecil Grimes made an excel

Howard Eales huntsmen, Lester Gard
ncr and Leonard Perdew as misers,
Ralph McGinnis and Brown Caster as
gnomes, Hazel Moore, Ruby Gardner
and Meta Pickering as first, second and
third elves all carried out their parts
to perfection, while a large number of
little girls and boys as elves and
gnomes all in costume with their
choruses assisted in making the cantata
grand success. The little folks were
drilled by Mrs. Geo. A. Cowden who
has special knack in this line and to
her efforts in a large degree is due the
success Of the entertainment. The en-
tertainment netted the school quite a
few dollars which will be used in
paying for the piano they have rented.

THE CITY ELECTION
Entire Citizens Ticket Headed by
v.R. MCGinnis for Mayor Elect
ed by Large Majerities.

There was considerable interest
shown in the city election last Monday,
the friends Of the candidates on the two
tickets doing considerable hard work
for their favorites. Quite large vote
was polled 435 voters exercising their
rights in regard to who shoul serve as
city officials for the next term. There
were two tickets in the field, the first
one nominated at the big caucus held at
the court house being called Citizens
ticket and the second one which was

for number of years again made the
race heading the Non-Partisan ticket,
but was defeated by an overwhelming
majority, receiving but 108 votes out of
a total Of 435. The principal fight was
on mayor, and although there were
some very good and popular men on the
Non-Partisan ticket they were all ce-
feated, many voters not even looking to
see who was running but simply. voted
their tickets straight, being guided in
their choice by the candidates for
mayor. While good guessers all thought
McGinnis would be elected no one lock-
ed for such an overwhelming majority,
as Mayor Woodard had never before
been defeated, and had the reputation
of being a pretty good vote getter.
Aside from the fight on mayor there was
little work done for or against any Of
the other candidates, and the defeated
candidates should not think it was
personal matter as to their defeat. Had
their names been on the other ticket
they would have been elected, for it
was more a matter of policies than Of
men. The result of the election was as
