It's technical mas tery will be easy for Professor Bonn. and those who know his musicianly capabilities are assured that he will give thoroughly sympathetic and ar tistic interpretation of tile compost tiOn. So far as is known, it has never been played in Waterbury. The com poser himself, on his visit to this country early this winter. was in duced to play it. his rendering of it exciting great enthusiasm.

). e. Parker Hurt In Runaway.

Mr.. ]. E. Parker, a we'll known farmer
living just north of Davis City, was
seriously injured in runaway accident
Monday evening, and the outcome of the
accident can not be told at this time.
Mr.. Parker had purchased hog and
was taking it home in wagon. When
near the home of Ed. Flora the hog be-
came restless and in plunging around
in the wagon struck the spring seat
and knocked it of. Seeing bis danger
Mr.. Parker jumped from the seat out on
the double trees, and the hog followed
him. This frightened the team and they
started to run, throwing him under the
horses and the wagon ran over him.
The accident was witnessed by members
of Mr.. Flora's family and they fastened
to his assistance. He was picked up
unconscious and at first it was feared he
was dead. DR.. Wales was summoned
by phone and rendered the necessary
medical attention. He found that in
addition to being badly bruised and cut
by the horses hoofs that at least three
of his ribs were broken and it is feared
that he also sustained internal injuries
which make his recovery very doubtful.

Half Million Loss-storm in Mills.

A half million dollars in damage and
eighty thousand acres of land more or
less devastated, is the estimated loss
and extent of the storm that swept over
Mills county Saturday night. The rain
was general in all parts of the county,
but it was in the southwest section that
the damage was SO great. 1t was the
torrent Of hail that played havoc with
growing crops, although much damage
by wind and water also resulted.
Rawles and Lyons township suffered
the worst. There the storm spent it's
fury. Beginning two miles south of
Glenwood and extending eight miles to
the county line, corn and small grain
were beaten into the ground. In many
places the fields are as bare as if tho
ground had been p1owed. Fields of corn
two to three feet high were beaten to
shreds and pounded into the ground.
The hail streak extended in a
southeasterly direction. 1t included
all of Glenwood and Lyons township,
about three-fourths of Rawles. the
southwest corner of Center, two-thirds
of Plattevil.e, and sort of narrow peak
extending north of Glenwood for about
eight miles up into Oak township. The
west edge of Oak, the north part Of
Platteville and all of st. Mary escaped.

Nothing In the Paper.

Frequently you pick up the local
paper and after glancing it over,
wearily thrust it aside, remarking:
Nothing in the paper this week."
Did you ever stop to think what that
phrase nothing in the paper, means,
asks an exchange. 1t means that in
the week just passed no misfortune has
befallen anyone in the community; that
no fire has wiped out a neighbor's world
ly goods; that the grim angel of death
has crossed no threshold of friend;
that no man driven by liquor, hatred or
fear has taken the life of fellow hu-
man; that no poor devil, hunted by the
past or the misdeeds of some other, has
crossed the divide by hiss own hand;
that many things that ought not to hap
pen have not happened. So the next
time that you pick up paper that does
not announce tragedy, give a little
thanks instead of grumbling because

We Get Ue1own Express Office.

After these many years Leon is at last
to have the Adams express Office moved
up town, H. l. Tullis, who has been
driving the express wagon for several
years having been appointed agent.
The company has rented the Givens
building, just south of Hotel Leon for
an Office, and the change will be made
this week. This is something which
the business men have vainly tried to
secure for good many years and will
be great accommodation to the pat
rons of the express company. The
changing of express agents will relieve
agent Ketcham of the work OF the ex-
press business and give him more time
to devote to his duties as railcoad
agent.

Elghty-Thlrd Birthday.

DR.. H. F. Stempel of 81 Fourth street
was SO years old on Independence Day,
and as usual all the children gathered
at the home and enjoyed family reunion
and good supper and a very happy
time. In the evening, as has always
been the custom. quite number OF old
friends called and enjoyed luncheon and
refreshments and extended their con-
gratulations and best wishes. Mr..
Geo. Schlapp offered toast and
three hochs for the absent old
friend, Hon. Chas. Doerr, who is now
visiting his old home in Weisbaden,
Germany. All the children We're pres
ent. They are: E. H. Stempel, A. 81.
Stempel, Miss Valeska, W. G. Stempel,
w. T. Stempel and 81. F. Stempel, Jr.,
all of Fort Madison except W. C. of
Leon, Iowa, who was accompanied by
his wife.
Attending features of the event were
songs and fireworks, etc.
The venerable host is an excellent
entertainer, and though we'll along on
life's journey has lost none of that
proverbial German hospitality, and is
in very fair health for one of his years.
1t is the wish of his many friends who
were not present that his remaining
years may be filled with contentment
and happiness.-Ft. Madison Democrat.

MANY FIRES IN TOXIN:

There were quite number of small
fires yesterday which were actually Of
a good deal Of benefit to many people.
In the first place they helped the trade
of Bell & Robinson our popular druggists
as they sold the Wadsworth Bros
"Chicos" which were burned. Then
they benefited the smokers, for it is a
benefit to any man to find cigar for SC.

than 1Oc. cigars have before.
We might say truthfully that these.
cigars were q, good thing for many
others, as nothing makes man more
good natured than satisfactory smoke.
such as he always gets when he lights q
"Chico." 1s
Bell & Robinson have secured the To-
cal agency for Wadsworth Bros "Chi-
cos" and want all smokers to try them
and see that at last it is possible to get
q real Havana cigar, well made, good
size, free smoker, delicious flavor, for

married men paste in their hats: Don't
take your wife to picnic and seat her
on the end of board, put the baby in
her lap and tell the rest of the little
ones to stay close to ma, or they might
get lost or run over; then wander of to
find some congenial spirit, have treat
to ice cream and lemonade de, take . fresh
cigar and have good time generally
until dinner and then bring your COM
pany along to help eat the contents OF
the basket. Strange as lit may seem
your better half might like little lib
erty herself, and few dimes to spend,
and the children: might want stick Of
candy or an orange. Treat your wife
like a lady. Doesn't she deserve it as
much as she did before you married her.
when she was young and pretty? Whose
fault is it that her hands are calloused,
her hat and dress of the last years
pattern, and her shoes run down at the
heel? You don't need be ashamed OF
her. Pay her what she has earned toll
ing for you and yours, and she can APP
pear as any of them. Make the day one
of pleasure for her and the children as
we'll as for yourself. IL you haven't

Chautauqua Will Be Held on School
Grounds.

At the last meeting Of the Leon Com
mercial Club a committee was appointed
to meet the Leon school board and try
and secure the use OF the High School
grounds in north Leon for the coming
Chautauqua. The school board met
Monday night and granted the request,
which will certainly meet with the
approval of everyone, for with the
'Chautauqua held on the school grounds
it will be very easy OF access, with good
walks leading to it, plenty of shade,
water and convenieHees for the people
who attend. The Chautauqua people
have been doing considerably bill board
advertising in this city the past week.
and everything looks geod for success
full Chautauqua- We notice that Leon
will have the identical attractions that
appear in both the Burlington and
Ottumwa Chautauqua, 80 it will be we'll
worthy of patronage. You can get
season tickets at The Reporter Office,
good for the entire week for $1.5O.

in his own way. The white race has,
Just now, all it can do, and more, to
look out for itself. In the fair competi-

let the whites be delivered from the
sleep-walkers aboard, who, in welding
an awkward axe, are apt to scuttle their
own ship.

1850 nor in 1850, but that is not an
argument, it is dodge. There was a
time when the start was even. More
than that, there has been time when
the black race was entirely ahead. The
Lord made us; and the presumption is
fair one, that He made us in His own.

that in the outcome the races will be
