No definite action was taken yester-
day looking to settlement of the
question of where money is to come
from to run the schools-and keep the
janitors employed as well as the teach
ers The matter received considera-
tion at the hands of Acting Governor
Atkinson, of course, but so far he has
not announced any line of action cal
culated to relieve the situation. IL was
said in one of the afternoon papers
yesterday that the Acting Governor
had been in consultation with Auditor
Fisher relative to the situation, but
this must have been mistake be-
cause. although Governor Atkinson did
consult with the Auditor, according to
Fisher it was not relative to school
matters.
''There was nothing about schools
in our talk said the Auditor. Il
do not know what line the Acting Cow
ernor may be taking in that matter. -
''The Acting Governor has said moth
ing to me, nor to anyone connected
with the School Department, so far as
i know, relative to the school fund
shortage said Superintendent Bah
bitt YESTERDAY. "Nor have l heard
from the Board of Supervisors-offic iai-
lv. OF course / know what action was
taken by the Board, from the morning

Something Refreshing

in the form of beverage is desired by
everyone, especially in summer, but be
careful what that something is. Before
you take it into your.system know that
it is pure and wholesome, that it is free
from disease germs or chemical adulter-
ations injurious to health. Therefore
when you drink, drink OTTUMWA
BEER, which has stood every known
test for absolute purity and healthful-
ness.

Meeker and His OK Team.

An interesting visitor in this city
yesterday was Ezra Meeker, who with
his OK team is making the trip over the
old Oregon trail from Puget Sound to
Indianapolis, Indiana, distance Of
2700 miles. In 1852, at the age of q,
Mr.. Meeker made the trip across the
plains with an OK and COW team, and is
now returning in the same manner at
the age of rs. On his trip in 1852 he
passed through this place and spent
some time near Eddyyille. Mr.. Meeker
spoke before the high school yesterday
morning and at II o'clock addressed the
citizens on the street. He is an inter
esting speaker and drew large and
attentive crowd. He has views of his
trip for sale and also sells book des-
criptive of his travels. The oxen which
he drives are magnificent specimens.
One of them has made the entire dis
lance from Washington. The other one
Mr.. Meeker purchased at Omaha to
replace one which died. The wagon
which he uses on this trip is of the old
style, "prairie schooner" fashioned like
boat. The woodwork is all new ex-
cept one hub, which did service across
the plains in 1858. The hub bands,
boxes and other irons are from two old
time wagons that crossed the plains in
1858 and differ some in size and shape

DO NOT BE A BURDEN.
L. p. Van Werden Gives Some
Good Advice to Readers of the
Reporter.

Many people in Leon are burden not
only to themselves but to others be-
cause of indigestion and it's resulting
ailments.
The backaches, headaches, distress
after eating, loss of appetite, gulping
up of undigested food and gases, can all
be overcome by the use of Mi-o-na
stomach tablets.
This remedy is not a mere digestive,
it is positive strengthener of the di-
gestive organs, putting them in shape
so that they can digest any food that is
eaten. Mi-o-na is used before meals
and SO strengthens the digestive organs
while other remedies are taken after
meals simply to digest the food without
giving permanent relief.
Up. Van Werden sells Mi-o-na in 80
cent boxes under positive guarantee
that it will cure or money will be re-
funded.

Man And Life.

Man that is born of his parents is Of
few days and full of microbes. He
goeth to school when a youngster
and gets the seat Of his pants padded
for something he did not do, until he is
sick at heart. He groweth up like
weed in the back yard, and soon reach
es the age where he is composed large
ly of feet, freckles and appetite for pie.
About the time he gets too long for
short trousers and not long enough for
long ones, he goeth away to college,
learneth how to monkey with three
dollar mandolin and play whiskey polk
err. He cometh home a bigger fool
than every and marrieth sweet, young
thing whose pa is supposed to be
wealthy, but whom he subsequently
ascertaineth could not buy prize
rooster at county fair. He worrieth
along from year to year, gradually ac-
curing off-springs, until his house re-
sembles a Sunday school class just be-
fore Christmas. He fretteth through
the day and lieth awake at night trying
to figure out how to keep himself and
his dependent population out Of the
poor house. Efforts are rewarded by
having his daughters run away and get
married and bring him home a nice SON
in-law every few days to feast at his
board. His sons grow up and call him
governor and set him back five spot
every day or two. About the time he
has acquired enough lucre to make it
worth while for his heirs to quarrel, he
contracts a cold and is hurried away
before he has time to have a talk with
his family. His sons blow in his estate
on bad whiskey and plug hats and his
wife puts the finishing touch to his
career by marrying the hired man.
