Burlington No. 3 Wrecked Again.

1t has only been a few weeks since
the terrible wreck of the Burlington
train No. 3, near Abba, in which several
passengers were burned to death and
the train was destroyed, and on Tues
day No. was again wrecked, but fortu-
nately no one was injured although the
entire train left the track. The acci-
dent happened about half mile east of
Thayer, and as the train does not stop
at this station it was running about
forty or fifty miles an hour. Suddenly
the engineer felt his engine lurch and
knew it was off the track, the accident
happening about a train length from a
bridge which is Is feet high. The
engineer applied the air brakes and
stopped the train, the engine being
across the bridge and the baggage car,
smoker, two chair cars and the diner
being on the bridge. The cars tipped
quite badly but did not fall over, and
aside from a severe shaking up by the
sudden stop none of the crew or passen-
gers were injured. The accident was
caused by a broken rail and the escape
of the train from a repetition of the
Abba wreck is miraculous.

The Decatur City Bank.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
sworn statement showing the con-
dition of the Citizens Bank of Decatur
City, at the close of business on Jan.
III, 1904. The bank is a private one
and is not compelled to publish any
statement of their condition, but in this
case the bank is in such good condition
that the officials are more than willing
that the public should know what their
condition and resources are. The bank
is rated as one of the sound financial
institutions of this county, the stock
holders being among the wealthy real
estate owners OF the county, owing more
than 5000 acres of. fine land, and their
personal responsibility is more than
100000, more than double the total
amount of deposits, and every dollar of
the stockholders property is liable to the
depositors except their homesteads, so
that every depositor is amply secured
the difference between private bank
and state or national bank being th at
all of the property of the stockholders
i'll a private bank is liable for the de-
posits while the stockholders in state
and national banks are only liable for
double the amount of the stock they
hold. The stockholders and their re-
sources are all so well known that but
little need be said aside from giving
their names, being Wm. Woodland, James
Cressweli, DR.. b. l.. Eiker, G. M. Cor
rington, Il. A. & Il. S. Gardner W. II.
Golfer, G. Brazelton, e. w. Townsend,
Josiah Hamilton and G. III. Rosenbaum.
The last named is the gentleman who
purchased the Tapscott farm of 2O4 acres
which he owns without encumbrance
and also owns several farms in other
parts Of the state. The Citizens bank
has amply capital for it's business and
does a safe and conservative business.
They invite careful inspection of their
business and assets.

Wreck on the q Sunday.

The north bound passenger train on
the G. B. & @. had tail end collision
with work train about three miles this
side of st. Joe Sunday morning. The
passenger train was in charge of con-
ductor Bryan and engineer Jack Evans.
The work train had stalled on steep
grade and the escaping steam from the
engine prevented Engineer Evans from
seeing the Hagman who was sent back
and the passenger train was within 300
feet of the way car before it was seen.
The air brakes were working badly but
the passenger train was slowed down
to about ten miles an hour when the
engine struck the way car, and the dam
age was slight. The pilot was broken
off the engine and the way car splinter
ed up a little.

FOR A NEW FIRE ALARM.
Committee Out Soliciting Funds for
a Big Fire Alarm Bell.

Some time ago at meeting of the,
Leon fire department committee was
appointed to solicit funds for the pur-
chase of a good fire alarm bell, as at the
present time the town is practically
without fire alarm and should fire
occur in the night, it would be very
difficult matter to arouse the members
OF the fire company and. the citizens in
general. After conference with the
town council it was agreed that if the
money for a good big fire bell was raised
by subscription the town would erect
tower for the bell and the committee is
now at work soliciting funds from the
business men and property owners, and
SO far have met with splendid encour-
agcment. This is matter to which
every one should contribute, for it is for
the protection of every property owner
in town. Several firms have already
made contributions of $40 each and if
the proper kind of an alarm is secured
it will cost three or four hundred dollars,
SO don't be niggardly when the COM
mittee calls on you. If your property
should catch fire some night you would
be very sorry if people could not be
aroused to assist in fighting the fire, and
especially so if you had refused to con-
tribute to the fund to purchase an alarm.
1t will be impossible for the committee
to see every property owner and if you
are interested in the matter and feel like
contributing to the fund you can hand
your money to James W. Hurst at Hurst
Bros. store or O. E. Hull at THE REpoR-
TER Office. Don't be backward, as this
matter must be handled quickly, and
delays are dangerous.

Public Library Benefit.

The Leon Free Public Library is an in
stitution in which every citizen of Leon
and the surrounding country takes
commendable pride. Thousands of good
books are taken out from it and read
each year, and it is absolutely free to
everybody, thus afrording many people
an opportunity to read good books
which they could not otherwise obtain.
But it takes considerable money to keep
the library going, buy new books and
pay the rnnning expenses. Recently a
number of citizens proposed that a
benefit entertainment be gotten up to
provide funds for the library and the
idea has been acted upon. There will
be grand library benefit given at the.
K. P. Hall on Tuesday evening, Feb. 9th,
and it is TO be hoped that the big hall
will be filled to overfowing on the oc-
casion. The hall has been kindly donat-
ed by the lodge for the evening and
every patron of the library should show
their appreciation by attending, as all

NEW BANK TO START AT MT Aya
Leon Capitalists to Open State,
Bank with SIS, 900 Capital.

The failure of the Dunning bank at
Mt. Ayr has opened field for a new
bank in that city, and Leon capitalists
have stepped in and supplied the de-
mand. The new bank will be know as
The Iowa State Bank Of Mt. Ayr organ
lied under the state banking laws, with
a paid-up capital of $4,000, the incor-
porators and stockholders being Judge
j. w. Harvey, Thos. Teale and Fred f.
Teale, of Leon, Bert Tealc, uf Lamont,
and f. L. and Homer A. Fuller, Of Mt.
Ayr.
They have already filed the articles
OF incorpora alton, and will open for busi-
ness on the first day of March. They
hope to be able to rent or buy the Dun
ming bank building but if this cannot be
done they will erect new bank build
ing in that town. While the officers
have not-yet been elected, it is settled
that Judge j. w. Harvey will be presi-
dent, Thos. Teale vice president and
Bert Teale cashier, the latter gentleman
having already made arrangements for
moving his family to that city.
The incorporators are men of high
financial standing and Judge Harvey,
Thos. and Fred Teale control the stock
|of the Farmers g. Traders State Bank of
Leon. With their conservative and
business methods they have been high
ly successful with their bank in Leon
and the business men of Mt. Ayr and
Ringgold county should congratulate
themselves on their luck in having such
a strong financial institution located in
their midst. The opening of the new
bank in Mt. Ayr will relieve the stress
which the failure of the Dunning bank
has place on the business OF the town
and county.
There has never been anything but
private banks in Mt. Ayr and it appears
that there was an urgent demand for a
new bank which would be examined by
the state officials so that the depositors
could tell something about the actual
condition of the bank in which they de-
posted their money, We can assure
the people of Ringgold county that the
affairs of the new bank will always be
found in flrst-class condition and there
never will be any danger of it's suspend

Eight Are Indicted for Chicago,
Theatre Fire.

The special grand jury at Chicago,
which has been investigating the lro-
quois theatre fire at which nearly 600
persons lost their lives, made their re-
port Monday night, returning indict-.
menus against eight men for manslaugh--
ter including Mayor Carter Fl. Harrison.
The following is a list of the persons
indicted:
Carter Il. Harrison, mayor of Chicago.
Will j. Davis, proprietor in part and
manager of the theatre.
George Williams, building commissions
er of the city.
Edward Laughlin, building inspector
under Williams.
VIM. Sallers, fireman in the theatre.
James e. Cummings, stage carpenter.
VIM. McMullen, who had charge of
the lights that caused the fire.
William Il. Musham, fire marshal.
The men indicted at once gave bond
in sums ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
and were released. While there has
been rigid examination of the hola-
caust and eight indictments returned, it
is dollars to doughnuts that not one of
the men responsible for the fire will
ever have to serve time for their crime.
Stella Chamberlln Married at st.
Joe.
Miss Stella Chamberlin, young lady
who has made her home in Leon for a
number of years, was married at st. Joe,
Mo-, on Wednesday evening of last
week, the ceremony being performed at
the home of Mrs. Anna Fales, 91O Penn
ST., the ceremony being performed by
Rev. McNeir, pastor of the Presbyter-
ian church in that city.
The bride was dressed in white silk,
trimmed in faggoting and white satin
ribbon, and was attended by Miss Nav
Spain as bridesmaid, who was attired in
a costume of blue crepe de chine. The
groom was attended by Mr.. j. ] Spain as
best man.
The ceremony took place in the arch
way of the parlor which was decorated
with smilaX and carnations, the wedding
march being played by Miss Pearl Gou-
den.
The groom is a we'll known travelling
man with headquarters at st. Joe, and
the newly married couple will go to
housekeeping at 1916 South 9th street.
Many friends in this city extend hearty
congratulations.

River.

Elsewhere in this issue appears the
sworn statement of the condition of the
State Savings Bank of Grand River at
the close of business on January %,
1904, as reported to the state examiner,

the bank to be in excellent condition.
The paid up capital of this bank is
$4,000, and they carry a surplus and
undivided profits, of $SS1.77. The de-
posits are nearly S65,O0O and the total
assets of the bank are over 100000. Mr..
A. L. Ackerley is president and ]. G.
Brothers cashier and under their man
agement the bank has prospered since
the day it was opened. This is the only
saving bank in Decatur county conduct
ed as state bank, and subject to exami-
nation at regular periods by the state
bank examiner, which gives the deposit
tors assurance that the bank, actually
has all the assets claimed. The State
Savings Bank of Grand River is one Of
the best little banks in the state.

A Solid Bank.

In this issue OF THE REPORTER appears
the quarterly statement of the Farmers
& Traders State Bank, of Leon, at the
close of business on January 10Th, and
it is a statement Of which any bank may
well feel proud, especially when one
reads of the numerous bank failures in
various parts OF Iowa. The bank has a
paid up capital of $4,000 and surplus
fund and undivided profits of S3,318.62.
To this add the splendid showing OF cash
on hand and in other banks subjects to
call of $89,117.45, which is over 81 900
more than the total sight deposits, SO
that the bank could at any time pay
every dollar of the sight deposits and
have money left on hand, a condition
which but very few banks in this state
can show. The owners of the Farmers
& Traders State Bank are sound and
conservative business men who believe
in keeping on the safe side at all times.
The total deposits of the bank have in
creased to almost quarter million
dollars, the exact figures being
$245,S79.17. The citizens of Leon and
Decatur county can we'll point with
pride to such a financial Institution.
