Pressure, Like Chicago Boy.
Chicago, Ill.-A child's testimony re.
versed saved five men from the gal.
lows. The result was a striking paral.
lei to the case in which some time ago
Peter Van Vlissingen, a millionaire.
practically demonstrated that under
police pressure a boy named Wiltrax
had given false testimony leading to
the conviction of the boys father for
murder.
An instance of youthful unreliability
under oath was in the case of William
Mccarthy and four Polish young men
on trial for murder, the witness being
a little girl. Appollina Starosta, who
first gave direct. straightforward. eve.
witness testimony. apparently estab.

men, and then repudiated it all.
In explanation the child said she had
been instructed how to testify by the
widow OF the murdered man. Charges
against the prisoners were withdrawn
on the spot by the States Attorney.

room free by order Of the court

Tired. Nervous Women.

There are thousands of them everywhere.
A few bottles Of Peruna would do them
untold benefit. As a tonic and nerve in

nerves, it gives strength to the circulation

WIFE MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Double Crime of a Clerk Employed in
the White House Offices.


Washington, D. C.-Charles G. Fors-
ter, a clerk employed in the White
House offices, shot his wife and him
self at their home, in Kensington, Md.
Both deaths were instantaneous. Mrs.
Forster had been shot from behind, the
bullet entering the base of the brain.
Forster then turned the weapon on
himself, and a bullet crashed into his
head just above the right eye and
passed out below the right a + There
were no evidences Of a struggle and
there were indications that the deed
had been carefully planned.
Forster was a brother of Rudolph
Forster, one of the assistant secretaries
to President Roosevelt. He was for
merly n sailor, but he had been en-
ployed in the White House offices as a
clerk about four years. For a cOnsid-
cradle time he had shown evidences of
dependency, due, his friends say, part
ly to the illness of his wife and partly
to financial troubles.

Interesting Surgical Operation.

An interesting surgical operation was
performed in this place Sunday by Drs.
brennan & Mccoy, the patient being
Thos. Donald, and the operation being
that Of skin grating. 1t will be re-
membered that about year ago Mr..
Donald was injured by stallion,
large piece of flesh and muscles of the
leg being bitten out. The wound has
never healed over, and it's raw and
inflamed condition has caused Mr..
Donald much pain and annoyance, not to
say uneasiness. To remedy this state of
affairs it was decided to try the process
of skin grating in the hope of producing
a healthy growth over the affected part,
and Sunday the operation took place.
Twenty three pieces of skin-were taken
from his well leg and transferred to the
wounded one, the idea being that they
would adhere to the raw muscle and
granulate until they came together
forming perfect skin. We believe it
is the first time it has been tried in
this section, and hope it may prove a
perfect ccess.-Corydon Democrat.

June Weather.

The following predictions as to the
weather for the balance of this month
are made by Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the st.
Louis weather prophet, and his predic-
tions are watched with interest by
many who have kept tag on them and
found them to be pretty nearly right:
A reactlonary storm period will be
central on the 18th and 18th, with the
moon at new and extreme north declin-
alton on the 18th. The disturbances
Immediately preceding these dates will
run over into this period. The temper
lature VIII rise greatly and the
barometer will fall to storm readings on
6nd touching the transit from west to
east. Normally the temperature would
fall, the barometer rise, and cooler, fair
weather appear about the 14th to 10th,
and such changes in modified degrees
may appear; but the chances of continued
thunder showers, with here and there
storms of violent proportions are good
for many days, reaching into and
through the next regular storm period.
The next storm period is central on
the 18th, and the Mercury period is
central on the 10th, so that the two
periods combine their influences from the
10th to the 21st., This period is also
near the center of summer soltice, en-
bracing the moons perigee on the 10th,
and also at moons quarter and on the
celestial equator on the Goth. All these
causes conspiring within the compass of
this storm period, the chances for
general, heavy and even dangerous
storms are multiplied greatly at this
time. The crisis of this period will fall
from about Saturday the 18th to Tuesday
the 2lst, the storms centering on more
decidedly and touching the Goth. Look
for startling and continuous displays of
lightning throughout the nights at this
period and most likely for many days
through all the central part of the
month.
b The 23rd, 24th and 25th are central
dates OF reactionary storm period.
On these days there will be increased
tendency to decided storms-higher
temperature, falling barometer, grow
ing humidity, all followed by storms Of
wind, rain and thunder. Change to
westerly winds, rising barometer and
fair, cooler weather will come in from
the west and north as the storm areas
pass off to the eastward
June comes to it's close in the
midst of regular storm period. This
period is central on the 29th, reaching
from the 9th to July the End. On Mon
day the 9th, the first day of the period
the Moon is at full and extreme decli-
nation south indicating that disturb
ances on this period will develope early
in the period, and will continue with
greater or less intensity for several
days. The center of low barometric
pressure will lie to the south, inducing
northeasterly rains during most of this
pasaod, over all sections north of the
center of low barometer.

ELECT LEON TEACHERS
School Board Names the Teachers
for Next Year--OnIy Two New
TedChres in the List.

At the regular meeting of the Leon
school board Tuesday evening the
teachers with the exception of Prof
Pierce, who was reelected couple of
months ago, were elected for next year,
there being but two of the old teachers
who were not reelected, Miss nellie
Sanger, principal of the south building
and Miss Harriet Kirkpatrick, who had
charge of the fourth and fifth grades at
the south building, neither of whom
were applicants for positions this year.
There were large number of splendid
teachers to select from in filling the va
cancies and they could hardly have made
a mistake in selecting any of them, the
only regret being that all could not be
given schools. The two new teachers
elected are Miss Grace Wallace who
takes Miss Kirkpatricks room, and Miss
lrma Allen, who takes the third grade at
the south building heretofore taught by
Miss Kate Ogden, who was promoted to
principal of the south building at sal
ary of $40 per month. The new teachers
are both graduates of the Leon school,
and have had considerable experience in
teaching, Miss Wallace having taught
for two years in this county, teaching
one school near Garden Grove during
the entire nine months just closed, while
Miss Allen after graduating took a
course at Drake University at Des
Moincs, and then taught for couple of
years at Grimes, the past year having
been assistant principal of the public
schools at Rockwell City. They are
both young ladies whom we feel sure will
give entire satisfaction to both the
school board and the patrons of the Leon
schools.
In this connection word about the
Leon schools will not be amiss for we be-
lieve that at the present time we have a
corps of instructors who would be hard
to beat. The schools are under the
supervision of Prof. James M. Pierce,
who came here last September and took
charge of the school under rather ad-
verse circumstances, but he has shown
himself to be not only thorough in
structor but also splendid superin-
tendent, and under his care the work
done the past year has been most salts
factory, and rapid progress has been
madeby the students in every grade.
