Referring TO Mr.. Foraker's contention |
that the holdings of the court are

He declared the contrary to be true.
Mr. Rayner replied seriatim TO Mr.. For

He declared his satisfaction with the

Killed by LIGHTNING.

Henry Stewart was killed by light
ming near Woodland Tuesday afternoon
about four o'clock. The deceased was
AZ years old, and had been at work cutt-
ing cane for Ed Cartwright. When the
thunder shower came up about four
o'clock he left the field and started for
his home in Woodland. Not coming
home at supper time his family became
alarmed and went out to look for him
and found his lifeless body lying in J..
E. Lentz's pasture about quarter of a
mile southwest of Woodland, the ap-
pearance of the body Indicating that
the bolt killed him instantly. Coroner
Bowman was notified over the phone
but decided there was no necessity of
holding an inquest. The deceased was
son-in-law of George Jennings, Of
Leon, and is survived by wife and
three children. The funeral was held
from the home Wednesday afternoon at
3 o'clock, interment being in the Wood
land cemetery.

John Clifford Merwin.

John Clifford Merwin was born near
Crcsco, Howard county, Iowa, on June
16, 1877. When II years of age he re-
moved with his parents to Leon. His
marriage to Miss Mayme Smith took
place December 6, 1899. To this union
there were born three children. In
the fall of 1900 he removed with his
wife to lola, Kan.
| A little over year ago the malady
seized him which finally caused his
death, which occurred at 1870 a. m.,
August %, 1906, he having reached the
age of 20 years, months and q days.
During his residence in Leon Mr..
Merwin enjoyed the friendship and
esteem of all our citizens, being
young man of exemplary habits and
very Industrious. While residing at
lola he became converted and united
with the M. E. church, of which he re-
mained consistent member until his
death. About year ago he had felon
on his hand but continued working
until compelled to rest, and it was fol-
lowed by blood poisoning, and compli-
cations ensued which caused his death.
During his many months of illness all
that loving hands and medical skill
was done to alleviate his sufferings,
but all to no avail.
The funeral services we're held at
the home Of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Merwin, and were conducted by
Rev. r. M. Shipman, assisted by Rev.
W. A. Montgomery. Interment was in
the Leon cemetery. The sympathy of
friends will be with the widow and
children who are thus deprived of
husband and father. Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Merwin, the parents, Alfred Merwin,
the brother of the deceased, his sister,
Mrs. w. A. Alexander, and the little
sister, Mildred, will also have the sin
cere condolences of their friends and
neighbors.

Democratic Convention Saturday

The democrats of Decatur county will
meet in delegate convention in this city
on Saturday of this week to nominate
candidates for county officers. Every
thing points to a harmonious convention
for the democrats are united as they
have not been in Iowa for many years,
and ticket will be nominated which
should be elected from top to bottom.
All OF the present democratic county
officials will be renominated by acclama-
tion except treasurer w. II. Young, who
has held the office for five years and is
is not candidate for reelection. Rep
resentative Sankey, sheriff Tom Wallace,
county superintendent Eli Hutchinson,
member of board w. L. Edmondson and
coroner DR.. F. A. Bowman have all made
exceptionally efficient officials, and we
believe the voters of the county will
decide when they go to the polls to
continue them in office another term.
For the other offices there have been
number of good men suggested, any
one OF whom would be satisfactory to
the voters of the party, it being left
entirely in the hands of the delegates to
decide which of them are the strongest
candidates for the Office. We believe
the convention will make no mistake in
the nominations, and if every democrat
does his duty the entire ticket can be
elected by good majority.

District Court Adjourns.

Judge Evans adjourned court for the
term just after noon Wednesday, there
having been but little business trans
acted since our report last week, court
remaining in session on account of the
grand jury not being ready to report
until Wednesday forenoon.
| The grand jury evidently made kill
ing, for they returned fourteen indict-
ments, but the names of the persons in
dicted have not yet been made public
except in four cases, these being George
Overholtzer, indicted for murder in the
first degree, being charged with killing
his wife at Grand River three months
ago, since which time he has been in
Jail. He entered plea of not guilty
and was remanded back to jail until his
trial comes on at the next term of court,
no attempt being made to secure his
release on bonds. Fred Black, the young
fellow arrested few weeks ago for
stealing horse near Grand River, was
indicted and promptly plead guilty to
the charge, and on Tuesday he was SEN
fenced to one year in the penitentiary
at Ft. Madison, to which place he will
be taken by sheriff Wallace today.
Creighton Miller was indicted for gamb-
ling and E. E. York, the feather renova-
tor man was also indicted for larceny.
Judge Evans on Wednesday made an
order that Marietta Quick, the fifteen
year old daughter of Isaac Quick, of
Leon, be sent to the state industrial
school for girls at Mitchellville, her
father signing an information charging
her with being incorrigible.
The bond of Henry Crees, who is in
jail awaiting trial on the charge of sell
ing mortgaged property, was reduced
to $3.50, and it is probable he will be
able to give this bond within few
days.
The following cases have been dis
posed of since our last report:
G. D. Lille adm. VS. Martin Still ct al
tried to court. Judgment in favor of
defendant.

How Willie Got His Glasses.

Willie began life under more favorable
circumstances than great many other
boys land girls. He was an only
child and was the pride and Joy of both
his parents, and was considered very
bright little fellow until he was sent to
school. Even then during the first
year he was the brightest and most
studious boy in the class, the favorite
OF his teacher and all his little play
fellows. But Willie grew older and had
to study more. Then he would COM
plain of his head aching and his mother
gave all the simple remedies she knew,
but nothing seemed to give more than
temporary relief and by the middle of
the term Willie was looking thin, pale
and worn. Every few days he would
have spell Of sickness, would vomit
and was very much distressed. At this
stage his father and mother became
worried over the matter and called in
the family doctor, man Of years of
experience. The DR.. said Willie had
indigestion, gave him physic and
something to aid digestion. Under
this treatment Willie returned to
school only to be sick again in few
days and take more medicine. This
was all growing very tiresome to Willie
and he began to miss school, to play
truant at every opportunity, and beg
to be allowed to stay at home. But he
was behind in his studies by being
absent on account of being sick, and
his parents urged him to go every Eday
though the thought of school was a
perfect dread to the boy. About this
time things took another change, and
one that was of great consequence to
Willie. His uncle, who lived in the
east, decided to go on little vacation
and on his way stopped to visit his
sister a few days. This sister was
Willie's mama. After first greetings
with his sister and her husband and
Uncle John had time to pay some at
tention to Willie, he remarked, "Well
Mary, this is bright boy you have
surely" This made Willie's mother
feel very badly because she thought of
Willie's poor health, and his dread of
going to school. That evening after
Willie had gone to bed his mother told
Uncle John Of her fears that Willie
would never be able to get an educa-
tion because of his headaches, being
sick at his stomache and his poor health
in general, and above all his great
dread and dislike Of going to school.
After Uncle John heard this story he
said, "Well he is bright looking boy
and I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that
boy needs glasses; his headaches and
stomache troubles come from his eyes,"
Willie's father and mother thought this
could hardly be possible, but the next
day Uncle John visited the ophthal-
mologist and Willie was fitted with a
nice pair Of glasses that relieved the
eye strain and relaxed the sympathetic
nerve system and it was but short
time until Willie began to have plump
rosy cheeks, his headaches were all
gone and school was no longer horror
to his mind. He now leads in all his
classes and is his teachers favorite.
This is the kind of work we do every
day. Work that makes our customers
happy. Respectfully yours,
w. S. BEAR, Ophthamologst,
Decatur Iowa.

tZ-Waight.

At the home of the brides parents
DR.. and Mrs. w. F. Waight, on north
Main street, last Wednesday evening
Mr.. Julius G. Atz and Miss Jessie
Elizabeth Waight, were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony, the ceremony
being performed by Rev. W. A.
Montgomery, pastor of the Presbyterian
church. 1t was quiet home wedding,
attended only by the immediate family
and few intimate friends. The we'd
ding march, Bridal Chorus" was played
by the BRIDES sister, Mrs. Louise
French, of st. Joe, the bride looking
G. aiming in white silk costume, with
lace insertion yoke, and lace panel
skirt. She carried boquet of her
favorite flowers, carnations.
{ Following the ceremony an elegant
supper was served, the table decora-
tions being carnations and ferns.
The bride was one of the very popular
young ladies of Leon, and she will be
sadly missed by large number of
friends, among whom she was always
the life of the gathering. The groom is
ticket agent of the Burlington rail
road at Osceola, and is held in high
esteem by the officials, a beautiful box
OF cut flowers being received from the
general superintendent of the road in
Chicago, and many kilograms of con-
graduation were received from his
fellow workers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Atz departed on the
evening train for an extended visit in
the east at Washington, D. c., Boston,
New York and other points of interest
and will be at home at Osceola after
Nov. 1st. Mr.. Atz was at one time
stationed in this city, and enjoyed the
friendship of many of our. citizens.
Everybody in Leon extend heartiest
congratulations and that their cup of
happiness may be filled to the brim is
the wish of all who knew them.

one mile south of Decatur City, on We'd
nesday, Sept. 5, at 4 p. m., occurred the
marriage of Mr.. A. Euritt and Miss
Mabel Havens, Elder ]. S. Coffin, of the

present to witness the ceremony. Mrs.

their place beneath large bell, COM
posed of flowers. After the ceremony
and congratulations a delicious four
course dinner was served.
Mr.. Euritt was for long time en-
gagged in business in Decatur and is
we'll and favorably known. Miss Ha-
vens, while not having resided in this
county many years, has made many
warm friends. The best wishes of the
whole community go with them.

Some builded near the homestead fold
While others sought their homes afar
Now most of them to rest are laid,
With blessed hope and faith in God,
One rests within the mountain shade
The others meath the prairie sod
And SO greet your hearty hand,
In bonds of common brotherhood
Rejoice to find we all 'belong''
Though separated many a rod.

When reunited all in song
Shall sing "our Country tits of Thee.
