Pound was formally installed at the
Guildhall today as Lord Mayor of
London to succeed Sir Thompson

into office of a chief magistrate were
observed, including the presenting of
the diamond scepter, the sword, the
city seal and the purse. The annual
celebration of Lord Mayors day,
which is the spectacular feature of
the ceremonies accompanying the
installation of the new Lord Mayor,
takes place tomorrow in accordance

WOMEN MAY DECIDE.
In Four States the Women Play an
important Part in Today's
Election Result.

Washington, Nov. 8.-An interest
ing feature of today's national cleo
tion and one the Importance of which
is not generally appreciated, is the
part played by the women voters in
the four states where they exercise
the full rights of suffrage. These
states are Colorado, Wyoming, Ida
no and Utah. The registration Of
women voters in these states amount
ed to about one hundred thousand
a number easily suficient to turn the
tide Of battle toward either political
party. The labor troubles in Colora-
do and the Mormon question which
is agitating Utah, Wyoming and Ida
no are the two issues in which the
women voters have taken keen int
crest and which are expected to bring
out a much larger feminine vote than
at any previous election since wo-
men were granted the franchise. The
result is eagerly awaited at the head
quarters in this city OF the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton.

A Hot Time at Davis City.

7. Down at our neighboring town of
Dsyis City on the classic banks of the
Grand, they had hot old time last Fri
day night at dance given in the GA.
r. hall. The particulars are hard to OBJ
tain but from all reports it seems that a
too liberal supply Of red liquor caused
the trouble, in which number of young
fellows and city marshal Tom Sly par
,ticipated. Sly is small man but he is
full of grit and waded into the crowd
which were causing disturbance, but
they outnumbered him and finally took
his revolver and star away from him,
after beating him up quite badly, 1t be-
ing said that his skull was cracked. OFT
Henderson,. a young man living near
Davis City, also received severe cut
on the top Of his head, and several
Others carried marks Of the fray away
with them.. Evan Zizzire is said to be
the porson who led the assault on Mar
shall Sly.

A Regular Blizzard.

Monday evening Postmaster Ledger
wood received telegram from TIE
government weather bureau saying thu ,
the severest weather of tho season
would be down upon us that night and it
certainly was, for when the residents OF
this section arose Tuesday morning q
bowling old-time blizzard was raging,
and 1t continued showing all day, the
wind blowing ! regular gale and drift
ing the snow badly. The trains sfrom
tho north arrived about on time Tues
day, but the afternoon trains on the
Burlington have not yet reached Leon,
all service being abandoned on this
branch Tuesday afternoon. The K. &
W. passenger train managed to reach
GAINESVILLE and returned to Leon an honr
and half late, but after getting north
Of Decatur City got into trouble with q
big snow drift and was still there st
the last reports. 1t cleared up Tuesday
night, but the snow drifted all night
and 1t will probably be several days be-
fore the trains are running on schedule
as the storm extended over vast area
Of country, having trayersed Nebraska
before it struck lows on it's way east.
The country roads are badly drifted,
many Of the lanes being level with the
fences, and while lots of snow fell it
will not make sleighing for in places all
the snow blew of only to pile.in great
drifts at other points. -

new TRAIN SERVICE
Ramor of Through Trains From Des
Molnes to Kansas City--TraiRs
will be Run Via Leon.

The following from Des hoines Capt.
tel will be Of interest 10 Leon people:
The Burlington company is arranging
for the creation of new division on it's
systen to be known ~ the Drs Moines
division, with headquarters in this city.
The division 40 planned 10 to include
the road from Abba to Dss Aoines, tho
road from Oskaloosa via Tracey into
Dss Moinss and the road from Dss
Moinss through Osceola to GAINESVILLE
and via Leon and Albany to st. Joseph.
This part Of the system is now operated
as portions OF two divisions, with head
quarters in Ottumwa and Creston. The
change will result in very material
changes in the operation OF trains and
in the location in this city of the divi-
sion Offices with superintendent,
master mechanic, roadmaster. dis
patehers, etc. The most important
changes in train service are planned for
the west line. The trains between Des
Aoinss and Abba and via Tracey and
Oskaloosa to Burlington will probably
continue to run very much as they now
do. On the west line, however, it is the
intention to put on q train running via
Oscsola and Leon to st. Joseph and
Kansss City, and a train running vie
Osceola to Creston ut least and prob
ably through to Omaha and Council
Blafs. The service on this line is .
purely local ono now, extending to Leon
and GAINESVILLE and nesessitating
changes to get to st. Joseph OF points
west Of Oseeola. With the, change con-
tsmplsted it il likely that the line be-
tween Dss Nsines and st. Joseph would
BE- operated 40 = continuous freight di-
vision. Local sfacials Of The road sey
Shat orders creating the division have
not boen issued as yet, but that inQuir-
les ~ to its practieability have boon
made and are still going forward with
every Indication the changes will be
made at an early.

Women Fight.

There was one Of the liyeliest female
scraps down on south Main street last
Thursday morning that has been wit
messed in this part Of the county for .
long time. The participants were Sadie
Adair on one side and three Of the
daughters Of Joe White on the other side,
Mrs. Rachel Bass, Minnie and Effio
White. There had been bad blood. be-
tween the women for some time and rs
the Adair woman was passing the White
residence they mixed, and for an hour
the foar woven fought like Tigers, pull
ing hair and rolling each other in the
mud right out in the road. Those who
Witnessed the fight report that tlss
Adair woman was victorious with the
first Of her opponents, but in the two
subsequent lights she cane out second
best. Marshal Albaugh arrested Sadie
Adair and Eftie and Minnie White, Mrs.
Bass, who lives at Davis City, not hav-
ing been served with the warrant ~
yet. On the hearing before Mayor Me-
Ginnis on Monday Of Minnie and Hilo
White the mayor sentenced Minnie
White TO serve fifteen days in Jail as
she had previous sentence hanging
over her during her good behavior, and
the younger girl, Effie White, to five

! Willah Belle schenck.

Willah Belle Schenck was born Now
y, 1877, at Decatur City, Iowa, and
died at Leon, Iowa, Dee. Is, 1904, being
~ years and one month old at the time
|of her death. She joined the NJ. e,
church when she was 15 years Of age.
For several years she was an active
member of the Epworth League and
Sunday School, and at last after great
suffering her work is done and she has
gained the majority.
This third death Of the children of
Brother and Sister Schenck within two
years from the dread disease that has
taken them away, falls upon them with
a peculiar weight Of sorrow. Desola-
tion naturally comes upon the family.
Gloom, grief, helplessness against the
grim destroyer seizes the soul until
pent up grief finds relief in tears, yet
not relief for tears do not give relief
but temporary ease. God only can give
relief and consolation. The whole con-
munity, bound by sense Of brother
hood Of man begs to be permitted to
bear share of the sorrow that has
come to this home. Seven weeks ago
the other daughter was carried to the
grave and today made doubly gloomy by
the disasreeable weather, We place the
remains Of Willaha beside her brother
and sister. What is left? Vacant chairs
voices loud in their silence. But nom.
ory is immortal, and these cannot be
forgotten. We leave them with God
who doeth Ill things well.

ALMOST A BAD FIRE
The Big Department Store of Graham
& hansell Co. Narrowly Escapes
Destruction by Fire Saturday.

The big department store of Graham
& Hansell had narrow escape from de-
struction by fire Saturday afternoon.
About half past four o'clock when the
store was literally packed with custoni-
erS, Mr.. Hansell entered the north dis
play window with small lamp torch to
light the gas light. The window whieh
was all enclosed had been trimmed up
with Santa Claus scene, and was dec
GRATED with cotton and other inflamable
material. As Mr.. Hansell went to step
out of the window he stumbled over
bucket of candy and in catching himself
threw up his hand and the torch touch
ed the cotton in the window and in less
time than it takes to tell it the whole
window was mass Of flames. He tried
to tear down the burning cotton but as
fast AZ it fell it ignited what was OH the
floor, SO he closed the door and grab
bing a bucket Of water got on the top of
the window and tried to drown it out.
Here he was found nearly suffocated and
had to be carried down. His hands were
quite severely burned but not deep. A
couple OF IRE extinguishers were used
to good effect and in a few minutes the
fire WAS out. When the fire started
there were hundreds of people in the
store and as the smoke filled the room
there was mad scramble to get out, in
the excitement one lady fainting, but
she was soon revived. The loss is not
serious one, being confined to the
broken plate glass window, and the
stock in the display window, while of
course there was some damage to many
goods in the store from the smoke, but
in half an hour after the fire the store
was opened again for business and was
crowded with people. 1t was indeed a
narrow escape, as had the window not
been enclosed with board partition
| it would have swept from one end
Of the store to the other in minutes
time, az the building was filed with in
6amable goods. The loss is fully COW
cred by insurance both on the building
and stock.

a month before she entered the race
and the big vote she polled was the re-

showed that while she was not as well
known over the county as tho winner
