Prominent among the many -four
ishing and noteworthy hotels that
meet the eye on every hand may be
mentioned this admirably conducted
and deservedly popular house which
is in all respects we'll ordered and
excellent hotel, finely appointed, neat
ly kept and completely equipped in
every particular, while the table and
service is unrivaled. The Hotel Leon
under the Matt Pullen &, Co. manage
ment is conducted on basis of liber
atty and good living, leaving nothing
to be desired, and of which no better
criterion need be offered than the
large patronage the house enjoys. The
building is well lighted, heated and
ventilated while the sleeping apart
ments are spacious and well furnish
ed and the beds are clean, soft and
inviting. This is the leading Motel in
Leon and is headquarters for all COM
mercial men. Matt Pullen and his
partner, j. A. Perdue, are popular
with the boys on the road and it has
been their painstaking efforts to &C
commodate the travelling public that
has made the Hotel Leon one of the
most desirable places in southern
Iowa to stop at. The Reporter in re-
view of the advantages possessed by
Leon is pleased to call attention to
this admirably conducted hotel

carefully looked after in Leon by L.
P. Van Werden. The most complete
stock of the finest drugs, medicines
and a general line of druggists sun
dries, wall paper, paints, oils, glass,

Leon is such town is shown by the
fact that here is located the lum-
Der yard of G. A. Hubacher, one of
the best equipped lumber yards in De-

the Hubacher's lumber yard now
enjoys a trade second to no similar
establishment in Decatur county. Mr..

F. M. CoDER
Groceries and Provisions

The grocery trade is one in which
every man, woman and child is di-
rectly interested for it caters to all
alike, the rich, poor, old and young,
of all conditions, colors and sizes,
without reference to religious belief
missionary of home comfort, the
apostle of good cheer, and, above all
men, should be honest, just and liber-
al for upon him most all of the civil
lized world depends. +. M. Coder is
one of the most popular and prosper
Gus grocery men in Leon and will COM
pare favorably with far older competi-
tors. The stock comprises a full and
first class line of staple and fancy
groceries, bottle and canned goods,
fruits, pure teas and coffees and fam
lily supplies. This business was es-
tablished about nine years ago by
Hamilton & Gardner, Mr.. Coder hav-
ing taken possession of the same
about two years ago. That up-to-date,
conscientious, business methods, COM
bined with fair treatment and liberal
prices is sure to win success, is truly
proven by the immense patronage
which Mr.. Coder has added to list of
this stores customers during his two
years of control. When you purchase
an article of any description from
this store you can depend upon its be-
ing made by reliable manufacturer
as Mr. Coder is we'll posted in the art
of buying his stock, and the cheap
prices of INSCRIPTIONS manufacture
ers do not tempt him to buy their
goods. Honest goods at honest
prices" is his motto, and his past sue
cess proves it to be good one. One
article handled by Mr.. Coder which
the writer knows to bear a good rep.
utation is the "Sweet Cream" flour,
made at Minneapolis, Minnesota
One, if not the best, makes of -four
on the market, and sold at a very
reasonable figure for a first-class ar
ticle. Mr.. Coder is counted among
our most successful business men,
and popular citizens whose every eff

1t is becoming scientifically we'll
known fact that nature itself furnish

the body, and not outside of it, with
which to cure disease. 1t has been
discovered, by a long series of ex-
perments with both living and
dead subjects, that this wonderful
piece of mechanism, the human body
could be manipulated at will by a
skillful operator, and that the organs
can be much better handled by hands

NJ. MAYER
The Old Reliable clothier

In review of Icons growth, adj
vancement and prosperity, the Report
er, wishes to call attention to those
merchants, who have long been identi-
fed with the trade interests of the
town, and who have earned the repu-
tation of giving people full value for
their money.
In this connection we wish to speak
of the old reliable clothier, Mr.. M
Mayer. Mr.. Mayer established him
self as clothier and wool buyer in
Leon in 1878. His first store was at
the corner of Opera house block. He
then moved to the corner of Union
block, where he conducted his bust
ness successfully until he sold out to
the Kraft Clothing Company. After
remaining out of business two years,
Mr.. Mayer again established himself
in the clothing business in the store
he now occupies, just north of the
post office. Mr.. Mayer carries well
selected stock of clothing, hats, caps,
shoes, gents furnishing goods, etc.
All of which are sold at reasonable
prices and the Reporter can say to it's
readers that any statement made by
Mr.. Mayer will be made good and
that anyone purchasing anything
from his store will be perfectly salts
fed and will get full value for their
money.

MYERS CHEMICAL co.
Manufacturers Of Cholene

After the expose and condemnation of
the many worthless treatments, prepar-
ations and poisonous nostrums for the
cure of catarrh, it is indeed relief to
report through the columns of the Leon
REPORTER trustworthy and successful
treatment, for this heretofore dreaded
disease that can be safely recommended
to the public by us, as we have careful
ly examined into this wonderful remedy
(Cholene) and have had personal inter-
views with large number of persons
who have taken Cholene and been bene-
flied and cured. This magic balm is
manufactured right here at home and
we can vouch-safe for it's sterling worth
without the slightest danger of i'm
peaching our trustworthiness as de-
tector of fraud and an upholder and de-
fender of all that is beneficial to human
ity. That Cholene can be Justly con-
sidered a specific and sure cure for
catarrh, cold in the head, Group, burns,
pills, bites, etc. is evidenced by the I'M
varying success which has attended it's
use. Cholene has large sale through
out the United States and Canada. 1t
has gained recognition and popularity
from force of it's inherent values and
has golden opinions from all who have
used it and even praise from physicians
class little given to praising the vir-
tues of any medicine not their own.
The Myers Chemical Co. under the
management of W. E. Myers established
here five years ago and have built up a
large business,e Ntending throughout the
country. While Cholene is the prin-
cipal remedy made by the company,
they also manufacture splendid head
ach tablet and several other effective
remedies that are widely and success
fully used.

Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.

Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, urinary
disorders, dizziness and nervousness,

ment. These are all symptoms of kid

FORBES & STOUT
Clothing and Gents FURNISHINGS,

In every city or town of any import
ance there exists stores which, from
the variety and magnitude of the stock
carried, as well as the superior class
of goods and the low price they are
known to quote, are made subjects of
comment and notice. Such is the
case with this establishment, owned
and conducted by Forbes & Stout.
The stock of clothing exhibited by
this company is of the very best quail
ity and workmanship, cut in the lat
est styles. Here also will be found
an endless variety of hats, caps,
shirts, ties, gloves, hosiery and under
wear. No shoddy goods find place on
the counters of this establishment.
None but the very best makes and
grades on the market being purchas-
ed, all of which are sold at very low
prices. A cordial invitation is ex-
tended to all readers of the Reporter
to call and examine the large and ex-
tensive stock and compare prices and
quality with catalogue houses. This
business, from its inception, 10 years
ago, has grown and prospered, owing,
to considerable extent, to the ability
and good judgment of Mr.. Arthur
Forbes, who has ben connected with
the store since it was first establish.
ed, the firm name having been
Owens & Forbes up to short time
ago, when Mr.. Roy Stout joined hands
with Mr.. Forbes, and Mr.. Owens re-
tired from the firm. Both Mr.. Forbes
and Mr.. Stout are popular with all
classes, and no trouble or pains are
too great for them if they can only
please their customers. The ambi-
tion and ability to keep on hand none
but the very best, up-to-date goods, in
all departments, has caught the trade
of Leon and vicinity by storm, and
we doubt if there is an enterprise in
our city enjoying more profitable
patronage. Such enterprising bust
ness men are the backbone of such
thriving trading points as Leon is fast
becoming, and the Reporter is pleas
ed to give Messers. Forbes and Stout
and their extensive clothing and shoe
establishment special mention in our
review of Icons prominent business
men and progressive commercial en-
terprises.
