The mail carriers on the rural routes
are to have six holidays each year ac-
cording to an order issued by Postmas-
ter General George B. Cortelyou, and
which has just been received by Post

ed about six holidays in the last three
years.
The new order will be greatly appre-
ciated by the rural carriers and will
meet with the general approval of the.
patrons of the routes. Christmas day
is not mentioned in the official order but
New Years, Washington's birthday,
Decoration Day, Fourth of July, Labor

Mrs. Caroline Warner.

Was born in Baltimore, Maryland,
Nov. Is, 1888, died at the home of her
daughter, MIS-. A. E. Ellis, in Burrell
township, July II, 1905, aged II years, Z
months and % days.
Mrs. Warner was one of the oldest
residents of Decatur county, having re-
sided here for more than half century
Her maiden name was Caroline thinner
man. She was united in marriage to
Jacob Warner, Dec. 3, 1S4S, in Darke
county, Ohio. They came west and
located in Decatur county in 1851,
where she resided until her death. To
their union were born ten children, two
OF whom died in infancy, and the re-
naming eight survive her, as follows:
A. c. Warner, of Muskogee, Ind. Ty., J.
@. Warner, of Stockton, Calf, A. j.
Warner, of Carl Junction, Mo-, Mrs.
Sophronia Huston, Mrs. Elizabeth Dob
son, Mrs. Ella Ellis, Mrs. Ola Axes, and
Joe L. Warner of this county, all of her
children being with her during her last
illness except the first two, who We're
unable to be present.
Aunt Caroline was a good old lady
who enjoyed the respect and esteem of
all who knew her. She was loving
mother and good neighbor and her
death is regretted by the entire com
munity. Her husband died Dec. II,
1898, since which time she has made her
home with her children. Her last ill
ness was lingering one, and her de-
mise has been expected for weeks. She
united with the German Baptist church
in 1876, and ever lived consistent
Christian life.
The funeral services were held at
Palestine church west of Leon on Tues
day morning at 10 o'clock, services be-
ing conducted by Rev. w. A. Montgom-

church, her remains being laid to rest

Weather Crop Bulletin.
For the week ending July II, 1905.
Des Moines. Iowa

For the week ending July II, 1905.
Des Moines, Iowa
The week was cool, with excess of
cloudiness and scattered showers un-
til the 18th, which brought period of
high temperature, with more favorable
conditions for haymaking, finishing
cultivation of late corn and harvesting
fall wheat, rye and early oats and bar
ley. In the southern half of the state,
except in fields too wet for binders,
these small grain crops have been cut.
In the northern half barley and rye are
being harvested, and oats and spring
wheat are ripening normally, with
promise of fair yield. Haymaking is
we'll advanced in all districts where
local conditions were fairly good but
there has been considerable loss of
clover hay that was cut prior to the
18th. The corn crop is now making
excellent progress in all districts, ex-
cept on very wet lands, which will be
eliminated from the acreage in final
estimates of yield. In earliest fields
tassels are noted, and the color is good.
The general outlook for field crops is
very good. AS yet no material damage
by rust or blight is indicated in the
grain fields. The hay crop is heavy,
and pasturage is above normal. EARLY
potatoes yield abundantly. The apple
crop is disappointing:
Another trial is to be given Caleb
Powers, the former secretary of state
Of Kentucky. He has all along claimed
that he is the victim of a political con
spiracy and that he has been deprived
of a fair trial. At any rate he could not
have any trial with more serious out
come. He will now be tried before a
federal court. The case is notable
one in many ways, and no matter what
may be the outcome most of the Ken
lucky people have already formed "a
Judgment as to his guile or innocence.

mrs. Harvey piper.

Mrs. Lemie Piper, wife of Harvey
Piper, died at her home at Davis City,
July 10, 1905, aged q years. She was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Ham
ilton, and was born near Davis CITY,
where she resided all her life. She was
united in marriage to Harvey Piper,
Dec. 5, 1900, who with father. mother
and several sisters are left to mourn
her death.
The funeral services were held at the
Union church in Davis City on Friday,
conducted by Rev. Bingaman, and many
Borrowing relatives and friends follow
ed her remains to their last resting
place in the new cemetery west Of
Davis City, she being the first person
buried in it. When we see the hand of
death remove from our midst one who
was in the bloom Of youth, as was the
dear one who has been called, we are
impressed again with the thought that
the grim reaper chooses whom he will
and that dutiful daughter, loving
,, wife and aifectionate sister has passed
from home where she will be mourned
and missed both by relatives and
friends, never to return. Her death
was from consumption and her final ill
ness was long and painful. She knew
relief would only come when she passed
beyond the portals of the great I'M
known, yet she was ever cheerful,
pleasant and accomplishing, and was
ready when the Savior said"Your suffer-
ings are over" Then dear friends take
comfort. She is safely anchored in that
bright and shining world beyond, and
look up and prepare to meet her when
the summons come, as it must come to
all of us.
Peace to her memory.

Ryan Reunion.

Probably the most successful reunion
of the descendants and relatives of Ira
B. and Cathesine Ryan took place at the
home of II. M. Akers, five miles north
west of Leon, Sunday, July is, 1905.
The reunion was planned few days
before, especially on account of the
presence of Mrs. Mary j. Harvey, of
Anamosa, daughter, and Mrs. Luella
Ridley, of Esterville, great grand
daughter of Ira B. Ryan, the latter,
having never visited in the county be-
fore. There were relatives present
from different parts of the county be-
sides Mrs. Margaret sHartshorn, of Os-
ceola, a daughter of John S. Ryan.
Under the spreading branches of large
maple tree, which by the way shaded
number of Akers', was spread most
bountiful dinner to which all did ample
justice with no Immediate serious re-
suits. Excellent music was furnished
by the musicians present, that by Wiley
and Emma Akers on the organ and vio-
lin being especially enjoyed. There
were 4S of the IA relatives in the county
present. If there were more family re-
unions and kindred gatherings held we
doubt if there would be; so much dis
satisfaction with life for although quite
tired we all went home in the evening
with lighter hearts and happier faces,
feeling no doubt that life after all is
worth living, and anticipating that
grand reunion of the faithful at which
we hope and pray all will be- gathered.
Those present we're: T. M. Akers, wife
and family of eight, of nine living
children, Lydia being absent, Wiley,
Willie, Emma, Jessie, Dwight, Flossie,
Dossie and Iva. John S. Ryan and wife,

To Test Iowa Debt Expansion
Laws.

There is case on the district court
docket in Ft. Madison of some public
interest, involving the effectiveness of
the Iowa debt expansion law.
The title Of the case is w. H. Schnitker
versus B. Nellie, suit for $500 damages.
Mr.. Schnitker was employed by the
Santa Fe railroad company as station
airy engineer at their shops in this city,
He purchased groceries from the
grocery store of Mr.. nellie, contracting
a debt, which he was apparently unable
to pay. Under the Iowa expansion law
a married laboring man is allowed an
exemption to the amount of ninty days
pay. Being unable to collect the bill
in as he supposed reasonable time Mr..
Nellie sold the account to Illinois parties
and they brought suit and got "a judg-
ment in an Illinois court and then
garnisheed the railroad company. A
rule Of the railroad company is that
when the wages Of an employe are gar
nisheed the employee must be laid off
until the bill is paid. Under this rule
Mr.. Schuitker was laid off. He thereby
claims that he has been damaged to the
amount of $500, his contention being
that he was exempt from the debt under
the Iowa law. !.

Apparently all hope Of saving her life
was gone. Two days before the date
set for carrying out the order Of the
court, to hang the woman by the neck
until she was dead, the governor granted
hearing on the petition for new trial.
a last supreme effort was put forth and
evidence was produced to show that the
woman had not been accorded a fair
trial, that her accomplish had lied about
her TO save his own life. Twenty-four
hours before the fateful hour the governor
decided to grant the condemned woman
a reprieve. The day set for the execu-
ton, the reprieve reached the prison.
The gallows from which a short time
later miserable existence might have
been wiped out, were taken down, and
the third fight for human life was
set ON foot. The tension snapped and
the feelings which had been wrought
up to fever pitch, subsidized. Could
anything be more dramatic than that
But, dramatic as it was, it was only
in keeping with this most remarkable
murder and its trial.
The reprieve is the first since Senator
Proctor (then Governor Proctor) grant
ed one to John P. Phair, who later was
hanged for the crime Of murder. Few
will now question the propriety and

the justice Of Gov. Bells action yester-
day. He desires to carry out the laws
of Vermont, that is evident But how
can man who stands between a person
and that persons death refuse to grant
a stay Of execution when there can be
a reasonable doubt that the condemned
person was convicted improperly No
man with a sense of right and justice
could do it. Gov. Bell is a man with a
keen sense Of justice and right, at the
same time DESTROYS of preserving the
dignity of the laws of the common
wealth. There was a statement adduced
that Mrs. Rogers was found guilty part
" on the perjured testimony of her
accomplice. Such statement could not
well have been overlooked by the gov
ernor when the petition for reprieye
came before him. There were other
things adduced which had to be taken
in good faith by the executive. A re-
fusal to grant extension Of time in
which to look into the new evidence
would have been slap in the face of
justice. When the life of person
hangs in the balance, even the smallest
doubt should be eliminated before that
life is sacrificed.
So, by all thinking people, the decision
to grant the miserable woman a chance
viii be commended. In so doing Gov.
Bell has made it distinctly known that
he has not been moved to that action
by the hysteria which has come in large
part from without the state. Let it
be understood that he did not grant
the reprieye from sentiment, but from
the standpoint Of justice

IF the exposition. While it is true
there have been instances of a disturb
ance of a grave made hundreds of years
before, as in the recent case of Ad-
miral John Paul Jones, still the cases
cannot be compared. One is a man who
had much to do with the preservation
of the American nation and navy; the
other was the central figure in a bit of
fiction surrounding the settlement of
this country by English settlers. Po-
cahOntas, it is true, was a native Amer

but Pocahontas married an English
man, lived ard died in England, and
the traditions of her later life were sur

to America, cites pages from a book by
American writer tending to show
