The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1907-05-23

Mr.. Carnegie, wise and shrewd, and
cannily far-seeing, is advising the rail-
roads to make the best of Roosevelt as
a friend, lest he be succeeded by some
body else "who will go the extreme
limits" He further warns the roads
that Roosevelt is advocating only "just
and reasonable measures" His idea
is to have the railroads take the people
into their confidence and show the cost
of building and operating. Mr.. Car
negie's long and successful business
career has taught him that the people
generally want only a square deal and
are ready to meet all business interests
half way and more. Let the roads get
out of politics and do business on the
square and they have nothing to fear
from the public.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1907-05-23

The discontinued men and women of
today are the victims of too much pros
perity. They need touch of hard luck
to put them in healthy frame of mind.
In the days when people had little and
they had life was appreciated. Pleas
ures were simple and the home life was
wholesome. LuXuries were known to
few and contentment was general
condition. Nowadays men and women
pass feverish existence in the pursuit
of riches and tire of luxuries as spoiled
children disdain toys when the collec-
ton is too numerous. In way we
never grow up and the restlessness that
possesses adults shows itself in the
children of modern families, Washing
ton Herald.

AS surely as anything can be fore
seen, the conquest of the air seems to
be assured within reasonable time in
the future. The world seems to be
trembling upon the very verge of the
secret of aerial navigation. The solu-
tion of the problem may be extremely
simple and discovered by accident by a
yokel or it may be extremely complex,
worked out with extreme labor by
scientific Investigators. The discover
er of the last link that will join man
hood to the upper world may be classed
now among the dreamers and cranks
or he may be already famous among
physicists. Washington Post.

If any one has any doubt as to the
virtue of Foleys Kidey Cure, they need
only to refer to Mr.. Alvin H. Simpson,
of Willimantic, Conn.,, who after almost
losing hope of recovery, on account of
the failure of so many remedies, finally
tried Foley's Kidney Cure, which he
says was "just the thing for him, as
four bottles cured him completely. He
is now entirely we'll and free from all
the suffering incident to acute kidney
trouble. Bell & Robinson.

The theory of taxing ourselves rich

told that certain new-fangled stove

buy two and save it all.

RANGE OF PRICES.
Cattle.

There was another fair run OF cattle
this morning, not far from 200 cars being
reported For the week the receipts,
however show a decided falling off as
compared with last week and year ago
While there was no great change in
the market for beef steers this morning
the feeling was decidedly better Pack
ers acted more as IL they wanted the
cattle and there was decidedly more life
to the trade than yesterday. Prices were
fully steady and If anything a little
strong in spots. The medium kinds of
cattle, If anything, sold more freely than
the heavier grade
There was also more life in the cow
trade and desirable fat cows and heifers
sold more freely than yesterday As to
prices, there was not much change the
market being generally steady with now
and then sales Of something that buyers
happened to want that looked a little
higher. Some cattle that were carried
over from yesterday afternoon brought
more money than was offered yesterday
The supply of stockers and feeders in
first hands was very small, but there
