A Magnificent New Home.

With the beginning of the New Year,
the handsome residence which has been
in course of construction since early
last spring on south Main street, was
formally occupied by Judge and Mrs.
]. W. Harvey, and it can truly be said
that it is the handsomest and finest
finished residence in the city. The
house is also tho largest in southern
Iowa, consisting of three stories and a
basement, and is modern in every detail,
nothing but the very best material be-
ing used in its construction. The in
terror finish is Of oak throughout, in
Guiding the floors, and the walls are
beautifully frescoed in oil, the work be-
ing done by the we'll known decorating
firm of T. l. Stoner & Co., of Des Moines.
The bath room is fit for king, being
finished in white tile for the walls
and mosaic floor. The house is heated
by hot water, together with seven large
open fire places. The plumbing was all
done by Farquhar Bros. Of this city, and
everything connected with it is first
class. The residence was built by j. ".
Sell, the, we'll known architect and
builder Of this city, and is fitting
monument to his skill, for there is nc
better workman than Wiley Sells
Judge and Mrs. Harvey have been the
recipients Of many compliments from
their friends over their new home, and
certainly no couple in Iowa are more
entitled to enjoy the comforts in life, as
the years fall more heavily upon them
than this estimable couple. May they
live for many years to enjoy the new
home.

Improved Depot Service.

The complaint made last week to the
railroad company in regard to the ac-
comidations for the travelling public at
the Leon depot, as told in THE REPORT
Err last week, brought quick results.
On Sunday agent Ketcham received
orders that commencing Monday morning
freight clerk Hill should report for
duty at the depot at ) a. M, and to have
the depot opened and warmed for the
public. He is also instructed to sell
tickets for the early train, check bag
gage and receive and dispatch express
matter, which has not heretofore been
handled on this train. The prompt
manner in which the railroad company
took hold on this matter is to be COM
mended and the new service will be
duly appreciated by the travelling
public.
And while this matter has been
settled in satisfactory manner, there
is another matter which should be
brought to the attention of the rail-
road company, and that is the passenger
train which starts from Van Vert at
o'clock in the morning and makes a
round trip to Des Moines, reaching Van
Vert on the return trip at 3:15 p. m.,
should start from Leon and end the run
here. AS the trains are now run it is a
great inconvenience to travel over this
line, as on only three day a week can
passengers from points east and west of
Van Vert reach Leon, the county seat,
the same day they leave home. If this
train left Leon in the morning it would
also enable the passengers from here to
make connections with morning train
going west at Osceola, and they could
also connect with an east bound train at
Osceola, in the afternoon. 1t is report
ed petition will be circulated among
the business men Of Leon this week ask
ing the company to extend the Van
Vert to run to Leon.

Thirteen Club Entertained.

A most happy New Year event was
the open meeting Of the Thirteen club
held at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
J. Vogt at which the members enter
tained their husbands and few invited
guests at an elegant five course six
o'clock dinner Monday evening.
The spacious mansion was beautifully
decorated with holly and potted plants,
and open fires added to the hospital
cheer. After the dinner and CONVEX
sational and musical hour succeeding,
an impromptu dance was indulged in by
those of the guests so inclined which
was no less enjoyed by the onlookers.
Then the progressive games were play
ed until the hour for separation, when
all bid regretful goodbye to their
charming hostesses, but not to the
pleasures of the evening for such
events do not separate themselves
from their partakers but continue with
them in sweet memories and become
part and parcel of their lives.
