Horse Sale Friday.

The big monthly horse sale of the
Leon Horse Co. will be held at Axes
sale pavilion in this city on Friday
afternoon of this week, and they have
more good horses entered for sale than
at any previous sale. G. NJ. Axes was at
GAINESVILLE last week and bought a full
car load of extra good horses, fine big
ones, for the sale, and there have been
several other car loads shipped in from
other towns for this sale, as horse deal
ers recognize the, fact that this is the
best place in southern Iowa to sell
horses. The sale being held in the
brick sale pavilion makes it comfort
able place, the sale ring being seated
and nothing is left undone to make it a
success. Word has been received from
a number of foreign buyers that they
will be here for this sale, and if you
have anything to sell, now is the time
to sell it, so get your horses booked
early or they may be received too late.

A Prize Adv. Writer.

The December issue of Selz Shoe
News, monthly publication by the Selz
Shoe Co, devoted to their customers
and their advertising, contains a half
tone portrait Of Mr.. George E.. Hurst,
the senior member Of the firm of Hurst
Bros, OF Leon, who was awarded the
first prize of $50 for the best ADVERTISE
ment of Selz shoes during the month of
November, and it is needless to say the
advertisement which won the prize was
one published in The REPORTER The
News has the following to say regarding
Mr.. Hurst and his advertising:
Mr.. George E. Hurst, of Leon, Iowa,
was winner of the first prize in our
November contest. The "autobiog-
raphy" which he sends in reads like a
telegram: "Born 1851 sold goods all
my life-too modest to toot loud" Mr.
Hurst doesn't have to foot that way
His advertising is the most consistently
! good work which it is our pleasure tc
con over, and it is likely to make him
too we'll known to suit modest man
! But we'll trust Mr.. Hurst to care fol
that. He has been in business for q
years, and has sold Selz Shoes for 10
getting much fun and some profit out
of the process" Mr.. Hurst is hustler
and we wish him success.

Union Meetings Have Closed.

The union revival meetings which
have been in progress for three weeks
at the M. E. church. closed Monday
night. The meetings from the first
night have been well attended and
great interest has been taken, there
having been about forty conversions
during the three weeks. Rev. Olensla-
ger, the evangelist from Cincinnati,
Ohio, who had charge OF the meetings,
is an earnest and energetic worker and
accomplished a great deal Of good while
il this city. On Sunday night on ac-
count of something being ont OF order
with the furnace the congregation had
to meet atthe Christian church which
was crowded to the doors. Rev. Olen-
lslayger left Monday for Lenox where
he is now holding series Of meetings

past three score years and ten, who are
among the most respected citizens oi
the county, his numerous relatives and
warm friends, all of whom have stood
by him and are strong in the belief that
he is innocent of the terrible charge
Although found guilty by the jury
which tried him, the case will not be
dropped but will be appealed at once to
the supreme couit, as the defendants
attorneys are very confident that the
case will be reversed on account OF
errorsin the rulings during the trial
and in the courts instructions to the
jury.
In all cases where the death of a per-
son is caused by poison, the evidence
against the accused must be purely
circumstantial, and willie it is true that
in this case the evidence submitted to
the jury pointed strongly to his guilt,
still with nothing but circumstantial
evidence there is always chance that
circumstances may deceive and that the
woman might have taken the poi
son herself and that her husband
did not administer it to her. Yet a
jury of twelve good men have said that
Mr.. Woodland was guilty, although it is
reported that on the first ballot the
jury stood six for, acquittal and six for
conviction, and their decision in the
case must stand unless the case is re-
versed by the supreme court. Mr..
Woodland if guilty has only received his
just punishment, but if as he insists he
is absolutely innocent he is certainly a
sorely prosecuted man. And in this
connection it is we'll to remember that
there have been cases which are we'll
known in history, where men have been
convicted Of the crime of murder and in
one or two instances have suffered the
death penalty, when in after years their
absolute innocence has been proven.
Justice sometimes grinds slowly but it
grinds surely, and the old saying that
murder will out is a true one.

REFUSES HIM A PARDON
Governor Cummins Declines to Grant
q Pardon to Frank Greenland
and tfeis Taken to Prison.

Last Saturday Governor Cummins
telegraphed to Sheriff Wallace and
Clerk Tharp that he had denied the ap-
pllcation for pardon or parole for
Frank Greenland and ordered the sheriff
to execute the mitimus and take him to
| the penitentiary to serve his sentence
which had been affirmed by the supreme
court.
The case has been fought to. the last
ditch by Greenland and his attorneys.
1t will be remembered that at the Nov
ember, 1908, term of the district court
Frank Greenland, long an extensive
farmer and stock shipper of Richland
township, was convicted of The larceny
of three head of steers from the pasture
of Denny Moran near Westerville, the
cattle being driven to Van Vert and
shipped to Chicago along with several
cars of cattle owned by Greenland.
After being convicted Greenland gave
bond and appealed the case to the SUI
preme court which passed on the case
and affirmed the verdict of the jury find
ing him guilty and the sentence of
Judge Towner that he serve three years
in the penitentiary for the crime. Then
his attorneys filed motion for rehear-
ing and this has been before the SUI
preme court for several months. On
Monday of last week the supreme court
refused to grant him rehearing, and
an order was issued for the sheriff to
take him to the penitentiary, but before
it was executed a telegram was received
bearing the signature of the governor,
ordering the writ held until he had time
to pass upon the application Of Green
land for pardon or parole. 1t seems
that at the time this telegram was sent,
Governor CuInmins was away from Des
Moines and it was sent under his name
by state pardon clerk b. w. Garrett,
who is in full charge of such matters.
An application for a pardon had been
filed in the governors Office signed by
many of the residents of the northwest
part of thSGounty, while there was also
a strong remonstrance signed by many
people from the same locality, protest
ing against the governor granting
either pardon or parole AS soon as
the governor returned home he ex-
amined the petitions and after doing so
refused to grant a pardon or parole, and
wired the sheriff to take the prisoner in
charge. AS soon as this message was
received word was sent to Greenland by
his attorneys for him to come to Leon
and he came over Saturday afternoon
and gave himself up, and Sheriff Wal
lace took him to the Ft. Madison peni-
tentiary the same evening to commence
serving his three year sentence. If he
earns his good time Greenland will be
released in two and half years, unless
of course he should be granted pardon
or parole before that time.

RECORDS OF SOLDIERS.
The Census Enumerator In Leon is
After Information.

Among the questions asked by the
census enumerators who are now at
work are several pertaining to the army
record Of all veterans, whether the man
was in the civil, Mexican or Spanish
war, the regiment, etc.
When the enumerator calls at the
house, the wife seldom can answer the
questions and even many of the old SOL
diers do not remember the date Of en-
listment and discharge. For this reason
it will help matters if the soldiers will
leave their, discharge paperse handy for
the enumerator to look at. or write out
the following information on a slip of
paper and leave it at their home:
War?
Company?
Regiment?
State?
Cavalry?
Infantry?
Artillery?
Navy?
Date Of enlistment?
Date Of discharge? ).

Irish Proverbs.

The proverbs of a nation are the dis
titled wit of generations of its people,;
and the true wit of the race is often
times in proportion to the truth and
beauty of its proverbs. Few nations,
and few languages possess more beau
tiful sayings than the Irish. 1.-The silent
mouth is melodious," is an Irish aphor-
ism pregnant with beauty and poetry.
And another saying, incalculating a
charity which is spiritually needed in
this modern world of ours, is that
which tells us "Our eyes should be
blind in the abode of another" The
beautiful faith and the magnificent
optimism of the Irish race is we'll pic
tured in their proverb, God never
shuts one door but He opens two"
Autumn days come softly, quickly,
like the running of a hound upon a
moor" is poetic, vivid truth. And here
is a sharp, satirical one that cuts sew
~eral ways at the same time: ga poem
ought to be well made at first, for there
is many a one to spoil it afterwards"

Big-Hand1ed Hoes.

Thousands of commuters are now
blistering their hands by using garden
hoes with two small handles. The hoes
sold in the stores have handles Of even
less circumference than an ordinary
broomstick. They are more fitted for
the hands of a child than of a grown
man. The result is blisters. Garden
work should be a pleasure, but is made
a pain because hoemakers do not re-
gard the anatomy of the commuters
hands.

ing cramped and that in its pleasant
grip will bring a reminder of the base
ball bat of bOyhood? The stores do not
supply such handles, but any carriage
maker can.-New York World.
