I'm A BAD Way"
Many a Leon Reader will feel
Grateful for this Information.

When your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or aching;
When urinary troubles set in;
Your kidneys are sin bad way
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Here is local evidence to prove it.
Veteran John Gunter, of south Main
street, says: During, the war I served
in the Sd Iowa infantry. When there
was taken with the measles and the
government sent me home. l ran a
spinning machine for eight years con-
stantly and if the continued standing
was not the primary cause of backache
it certainly aggravated the attacks.
My back has ached SO severely that
could neither stand nor walk. 1t hurt
to stoop, it hurt to lift, it hurt excruci-
atingly to saw wood and after bringing
any extra strain on the muscles of the
back have been sore and lame for
days. Mrs. Gunter had used Doan's
Kidney Pills and was so positive they
might help me that during my last at
tack was induced to go to L. P. Van
Werden's drug store for box. They
cured. At the present time my back is
in good shape and stronger than it has
been for long time.'

Station at Humeston

Mention was made in this paper last
week of the location of a soil expert
ment station being located at Humeston,
but we were unable to give any detailed
report of the matter at that time. Prof.
Stevens and Schaub, of the Soil Depart
ment, of the State Agricultural college
at Ames were here on Tuesday and We'd
nesday of last week for the purpose of
establishing an experiment station
here as a branch of the eXperimen
work of the college. -Four of these
stations were established in this state
this year, one in Story, Blackhawk, Ida
and Wayne counties, thus covert ng all
parts of the states. Prof. Milan Nc
Culloch, of the Ames college, was in
strumental in securing the station here
for Southern Iowa and accompanied the
gentlemen here. After looking over
number of small tracts in this vicinity
fifteen acres of ground was secured on
DR.. McCulloch's farm about half mile
south of town. The object is to expert
ment as to what crops are best suited
and will grow best in our soil, and
VIII ich will not. Also what fertilizer
are necessary for different crops wheth-
er lime, phosphate or potash. All kinds
OF crops will be tested such as corn,
beans, wheat alfalfa, their growth and
quality. the value of this rye, etc., and
reports made as their experiment
station will be Of incalculable benefit
to the farmers Of this part of the state,
for it will furnish them with all the
necessary information they desire re-
garding growth and cultivation of all
kinds of crops. The station here will
be under the direction of Prof. Schaub,
who will begin experiments this fall
with crop of fall wheat Humeston

ROBINSON CRUsOE's ISLAND.
The Chilean Earthquake Said to
Have Destroyed it.

A report from Valparaiso is that the
earthquake of August is, destroyed the
historic island of Juan Fernandez, bet
ter known as Robinson Crusoe's Is
land.
Juan Fernandez is, or was, forty
miles off the Chilean coast. The island
belonged to Chile, bnt once Alexander
Selkirk, Scotch seaman, was it's sole
inhabitant.
1t was Alexander Selkirk's story that
formed the basis of De Foes immortal
romance, "Robinson Crusoe."
De Foe, as everybody knows, picked
up the island of Juan Fernandez, car
ried it across the Andes and plunked it
down into the Caribbean sea, off the
coast Of Guinea. But Selkirk lived on
the island just where it was when last
Thursdays earthquake found it.
1t was in 1904 that Alexander Sell
kirk, the Scotch seaman, was cast away
here and remained four years before he
was picked up by a British ship and
taken back to his own country. Many
are the experiences which the island
has undergone since then. In the early
part of this century it was used for a
time as convict settlement, and in the
walls of the cliff are to be found hun
dreds of dungeons hewn by the prison
ers themselves in the heart of the
rock. But the distance from the main
land, as we'll as keeping the garrison
provisioned and recruited, led to sever
al outbreaks of the prisoners, in which
they massacred the warden and troops.
The Chilean government decided to
abandon Juan Fernandez as convict
settlement.
1t was not until 1888 that the island
was again inhabited. Then it was leas-
ed for term of years by a Swiss
patrician named Baron Won Rodt. He
had served in the Austrian cavalry and
received wounds that disabled him for
army life. Converting his fortune into
money, he left Europe and went to
Valparaiso. Having hermit's dispo-
stitch, he established himself on the
remote island of Juan Fernandez. Find
ing the lobster and other kinds of fish
cries could be made profitable he leased
the island from the Chilean government
and conducted this industry as we'll as
fruit raising on large and profitable
scale. The war with Peru at length
occurred and his business was broker
up.
Won Rodt returned to Europe, but
found himself SO little adapted for civ
ilized life after his island experience
and so homesick for his ocean home
that he set sail again for Juan Fer
nandez, this time taking with him {
bride to share his lot. There on the
green tropical shore the most imposing
Of the dozen villas was his home fo
many years.

Bound Over For Perjury.

John Gore, Of Davis City, who was ac-
cused of swearing falsely to the age Of
his daughter and that of Rena Beasley,
when procuring marriage licenses for
them here couple Of weeks ago, waived
preliminary examination before Justice
S1orie last Friday night, and was bound
over to appear before the grand jury
next week, under $500 bonds, on the
charge of perjury. ]. X. Beasley, the
father of the other girl, is the one who
is pushing the charge, he having been

WHAT is ELECTRICITY?
Some of the Numerous Theories on
the Mysterious Current,

So"e oi the numerous theories on
the Mysterious Current.
Well, what is it? 1t is scarcely pos
sible to say. There are theories-many
of them. 1t is evidently something OF
which we cannot take part We can.
lot cut piece of it off and subject IL
to analysis, nor can we pour little of
it into bottle for future study and
contemplation. 1t is like the wind-its
effects can be measured; it's force,
strength and quantity can now be cal.
culated to a very nice degree. Still, to
liken it to the wind, it is stupendous
power, a mighty typhOon, blowing, as
it were, without moving, two ways. at
once along all parts of its path, giving
off halo of magnetism at right angles
TO that path everywhere.
One Of the incest theories perhaps Is
the one that considers electricity
condition Of atoms brought about by
chemical action, as in battery cell, or
by what might be called severe irri.
tation Of the magnetic halo as in a dy.
namo, and by other means, such as heat
and friction.
What this condition is is beyond us.
1t may be a violent rotation or it may
be an equally violent vibration of at.
oms, but as no man has seen an atom
at any time, not even with the most
powerful microscope, it is impossible to
say. Friction in some form or other is
present, as heat is produced before
burning or destruction takes place.
