Ira Wallace Is Dead.

Deputy sheriff Ira W.Wallace, who has
been confined to his home by illness for
several months, passed away Tuesday
morning after being unconscious for
several days, his death being not
unexpected as it has been known
for several weeks that his death was
only a question of how long his strength
could hold out.
Ira w. Wallace was born August 81,
1871, at Milford, ILL.,, and was "a years,
10 months and 20 days old. With his
parents, the late VIM. Wallace and wife,
he came to Decatur county in the fall
of 1874, and all of his life since that
time has been spent in this city.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Olive White in this city on Nov. Is,
1899, and to their union were born two
sons, aged three years and fifteen
months, who with the wife are left to
mourn his loss. He is also survived by
his brother sheriff T. E. Wallace, and
three sisters, Mrs. Mary Cesler, Mrs.
Sallie G. Beck and Miss Ida Wallace,
all of this city.
For many years Mr.. Wallace was en-
gagged in the meat business in this city,
and was very popular young man.
Several years ago his health failed and
he was compelled.to retire from busi-
ness and after his brother was elected
sheriff four years ago he was appointed
deputy sheriff, and made an efficient
and popular official. For more than six
months his health had been so poor
that it was but seldom he was able to
come down town. Everything which
loving hands and skillful physicians
could do was done for him, but that
dread disease consumption had fastened
upon him and he gradually became
weaker until death relieved his earthly
suffering.
The funeral services will be hello
from the residence, this "Wednesday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. ]. L. Boyd
pastor of the Leon Nj. E. church, inter.
ment being in the Leon cemetery.

Wild West Show Not Coming.

We announced last week that Pawnee
Bills wild west show would exhibit at
Leon on Wednesday, August 21st, as
the advance agent had been here and
signed contracts for grounds, license,
bill boards and supplies, but Tuesday
morning L. P. Van Werden received a
letter from Mr.. Rosenthal who was
here ahead of the show, saying the date
had been cancelled, and giving as the
reason that the Barnum & Baily show
which exhibits at Charlton Tuesday,
Sept, 8, had made contract with the
railroad for hauling in this territory
and on this account the Pawnee Bill
show had been compelled to cancel
dates at Bethany, Leon and Osceola.
Mr.. Van Werden had already build con-
siderable extra bill board space and
only the day before refused to sell his
boards to the Barnum & Bailey show,
so that he stands to lose quite sum of
money on accout Of the cancellation.

BEACH LOCATED
Pleasant0n Man who Disappeared a
Couple of Months ago is Found
at MarysviIIe, Mo-, Today.

Through the means of The Reporter,
Ivan Beach, the we'll known stockman
Of Pleasanton, who mysteriously disap-
peared couple of months ago, was To-
Gated this "wednesday morning at
Marysville, Mo. By means of the long
distance telephone Mr.. G. B. Daugherty,
of Marysville, who read of Mr.. Beach's
disappearance in The Reporter, got in
communication with The Reporter and
informed us that Mr.. Beach was at
Marysville, and was evidently not in
his right mind. The Reporter reached
relatives at Pleasanton and Dow
Oliphant, of GAINESVILLE, left on the noon
train for Marysville, and it is hoped
that he will succeed in inducing MIR.
Beach to return home with him.
The disappearance of Mr.. Beach
created considerable of a sensation at
Pleasanton. With no apparent cause
for leaving home he Strengthened up
his business affairs, deposited $4,000 in
the bank to the credit of his wife, had
about $4,000 in cash with him and left
home, telling his wife he was going
to Leon on business and would be abb
sent a couple of days. He came to
Leon and was reported to have been
seen on q train going into st. Joe a
couple of days after, but here all trace
of him was lost. Diligent search has
been made for him, extending clear to
New Mexico, but no trace was ever
found until The Reporter received the
telephone message from Mr.. Daugherty
saying he was in that city.
No cause has been assigned for his
leaving home, except that it is thought
his mind has become deranged, and the
information from Mr.. Daugherty seems
to verify this theory as while in Marys-
vile, Mr.. Beach refused to recognize
Miles Spargur, with whom he was we'll
acquainted, but admitted his identity
to Mr.. Daugherty. He said he was
going from there to Creston, and. III.
structions were sent to Mr.. Daugherty
to detain him at Marysville, or follow
him if he left, and keep his relatives
informed as where ne went.

NEW FAD IN TOWN.
Many Men 6ettlng q a Sensible
Habit.

In the last few days it has become
the popular thing to step in Bell &
Robinson's drug store and get pocket
full of Wadsworth Bros "Chicos," SCI,
cigar that has caused many men to get,
what may be called the "Chicos" habit,
1t is far more sensible to smoke a.
cook 5c. cigar like the "Chico" (anh
there is no other be. cigar like it) than
to pay double the price and get no bet
ter smoke. 1t is made with clear, long.

10c. or two for a quarter cigar. It.

Bound Over to Grand Jury.

G. G. Cunningham was bound over to
grand jury under bonds of $1,000 by
Mayor Harvey at the preliminary hear
ing held last Wednesday in which Cum
ningham was charged with attempting
to extort $500 from G. M. Keller, the
we'll known real estate agent. The
state was represented by county at
torney Geo. W.. Baker, but Cunningham
had to appear for himself, as not an at
torney Of leon would consent to act as
his counsel. After hearing the testi-
mony Mayor Harvey decided theme was
ample evidence to bind him over to the
grand jury, and in default of giving the
required bonds, Cunningham is stop
ping at the county Jail.

I There was lively time on north
church street Monday afternoon when
three runaways occurred at the same
time. Mrs. D. F. Long, of Center town
ship, was driving along in buggy in
which she had two children when her
horse became frightened at the workmen
putting in a cement crossing south of
Mrs. ]. r. Bashaw's residence. The
horse started to run and crashed into
the Leon Mills delivery wagon which
was driven by Jacob Martin. His horse
turned square around broke the shafts
and dashed down the street, tearing
the wagon up considerably. G. M.
Keller's driving horse was hitched in
front Of A. M. Pryors residence and the
runaway frightened it SO that it broke
loose and ran down town, but fortunate.
ly did no damage.

Weather-crop Bulletin.
For week ending July %, 1907
Des Moines, Iowa

rOF Week 0uuAuS JuAy Ao1 Low
Des Moines, Iowa
The average temperature of the week
was slightly below the normal.
Showery weather prevailed from Tues
day to Friday, but the rainfall was
generally much less than in the pre-
ceding two weeks. The heaviest show
ers occurred in the north central dis
trict. The week closed with fair weather
and as a whole it was favorable for the
growing crops in the larger part of the
state. Except on low, wet ground the
corn crop has made very rapid advance
ment, having generally reached the
tasseling stage. On we'll drained and
thoroughly cultivated lands it gives
promise of a fair yield under normal
conditions in the balance of the season.
Work in the harvest fields has been
resumed wherever the soil is sufficiently
dry. Reports indicate that consider
able hay has been damaged, and in some
localities small grain in shock has suffer.
ed material loss. There are numerous
reports of rust in oats and spring wheat
which will possibly impair the quality
of the grain. With better weather fol
the harvest in the future, the final out
puts is likely to exceed present expecta
tiOnS.
