a Business Change.

An important change in business
circles took place the first of the week,
when Mr.. George T. Ogilvie purchased
a half interest in the old established
grocery firm of Clark & McClelland, and
the new firm will be the McClelland &
Ogilvie Grocery Co. On account of be-
ing in poor health Mr.. McClelland de-
sires 10 relieve himself of some of the
work of looking after the extensive
business, and was fortunate in securing
Mr.. Ogilvie as partner. The old mem
Der needs no introduction to the public,
for he has been in the grocery business
in this city for more than quarter of a
century. Mr.. Ogilvie who has embarked
in the business has for several years
been resident of this city. He is
possessed of ample means and is man
who has many friends who will be
pleased to see him in active business
life. The business will be continued

Iowa Farmers Opportunity.

1t is especially desirable that the
matter of the National Corn Exposition
be called to the attention of Iowa far
mers. This Exposition will be held in
Chicago, October 9Th to 10Th, 1907, and
will undoubtedly be the greatest show
of it's kind ever held. Over $4,000 will
be given in cash prizes alone, while a
much greater amount will be offered in
the way of special prizes. Prizes will
be offered for state, Interstate and
national competition.
Iowa is the great corn state of the
union; naturally great things will be
expected of her in this contest. ANY
one desiring special information and
premium list should address Curt. M.
Treat, Secretary, National Corn Expo
sition, Great Northern Building, n
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago.
Iowa farmers who are especially in
terested in this contest are invited to
correspond with M. L. Bowman, Ames,
Iowa, Head of the Farm Crops Depart
ment of the Iowa State College, and
Secretary of the Iowa State College,
and Secretary of the Iowa Corn Grow
ers, Association, who will be pleased to
supply information relative to selecting
a sample of corn for corn contests.

rressle Rounds Home with Babies.

Tressie Rounds, who, with Ed jenkins
was arrested, indicted, and tried in
Wayne county for the murder of Miles
Craven, has returned to her mother and
to her three little babies at Madison,
S. D. She is a different woman.
Her attorney, Lewis Miles, of Corydon,
who was for years United States district
attorney, was in Des Moines today.
He secured the acquittal of both Mrs.
Rounus and jenkins and since that time
is interested in their reformation. He
received letter from the woman, in
which she says she was never so happy
as when she saw her three children
again.
"Tm going to lead a different life
now," she wrote.
The Craven murder trial attracted
widespread attention in southern Iowa
and northern Missouri. Jenkins who
lived in Benton county, and the woman,
who lived at Madison, were travelling
through the country, trading horses.
Craven came up to the covered wagon
and picked quarrel with Jenkins.
jenkins shot him. The man was cleared
upon showing of self defense. AS
soon as the verdict was brought in
turning the compile loose, Mr.. Miles
sent the people to their homes; but in
the meantime kept jenkins and the wo-
man apart. They have never commune

Costs More than 1t Comes To.

AS an illustration of how wastefully
the public money is being spent the
fact is noted that an expert statistician
is travelling over Iowa, and it is likely
every state has one, gathering up the
statistics from the records in the
clerks office in each county of the num-
ber of marriages and divorces entered
for the past % years. When the re-
ports are filed in Washington set Of
clerks will be put at work to discover
how many persons were married at the
age of 13, how many at Is and SO on
through the list of ages. Then the list
of divorces at all possible ages will be
gone over. When these worthless facts
have been discovered the figures will
be overhauled for percentage in every
conceivable way and when at last the
list of calculatory expedients is ex-
hausted, the tables will be given to the
printer to be bound into volumes to be
busted at odd moments by the janitor
in the government library. At some
ermote date it may be antic-
ipated that one of our moral
lists will make an address founded
upol the ratios named above. The CEN
tral thought of his remarks will be the
profound truth that there should be
more marriages and fewer divorces. 1t
would be just as important to know at
what age women begins putting pins
in her mouth or how many whacks of
the fail are required to clean carpet
thoroughly on both sides during the
housecleaning season.--Harlan Tribune.

KILLED BY A RUNAWAY
John Wallace, Prominent Farmer
of Near Weldon, is Crushed Tn
der His Wagon in Runaway.

A terrible accident resulting in the
death of Uncle John Wallace, an aged
and we'll known farmer living three
miles northeast of Weldon, occurred
last Saturday evening. Mr.. Wallace
and his wife had been at Weldon doing
some trading, and were taking home a
load of lumber. When within a half
mile of home, the team which he was
driving, high spirited pair. became
frightened and started to runaway.
Before they had ran far Mrs. Wallace
either jumped or was thrown out, one
of the wheels of the heavy wagon pass
ing over her ankle and breaking it.
Mr.. Wallace held on to the team and
they continued their mad flight for a
couple of hundred yards, when the
wagon was overturned and he fell
underneath the load of lumber, sustain
ing severe internal injuries. Help was
soon at hand and Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace
taken to their home and medical assis-
tance summoned. At first it was not
thought that Mr.. Wallace was fatally
injured, but it soon developed that his
internal injuries were very serious and
despite the best of medical attention
he passed away Tuesday morning
at 3 o'clock. The deceased was one of
the old settlcrs and most popular farm
ers of that country, and his sudden
death is deeply deplored by large
circle of friends. Mrs. Wallace is suffer-
ing severely from her broken ankle, but
is getting along as we'll as could be eA-
pected. The funeral of Mr.. Wallace
was held Wednesday afternoon from
the family home.

MUST WEIGH ALL MAIL.
A New Ruling Increases the Work
of the Post Office Clerks After
Ju1v lSt.

Postmaster Stookey has received an
order from the department. which states
that beginning with July 1st and ex-
tending to Dec. 31st the local Office
must weigh and keep tabulated record
of all mail originating with it. These
reports will show the weight Of each
class of mail separately, also the weight
OF all mail sent free under government
franks, in penalty or official envelopes,
also newspapers in the county. This
is in accordance with an act passed
by the last congress, and the information
thus gathered will be used by CON
gress in the preparation of some import
ant legislation affecting the post office
department.
There is considerable agitation for
a readjustment of the postage rate on
newspapers and periodicals, which may
eliminate many publications from the
one-cent pound list that are now re-
ceiving it.
The post Office department has long
born the odium of an annual deficit,
but claims if it was given credit for ali
of the official mail carried free, and
the thousands of pounds carried free
under government franks it would pay
it's way and show surplus.

Resting in Jesus.

Another baby has been removed
from earth's bower and taken to the
fairy baby land above. Two more
fond parents hearts have been made to
ache and break because they have low
ed too we'll to lose their darling. The
dear ones who mourn today, as Rachel
OF old and refuse to be comforted are,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles E. Hilliker, of
1905 East Walnut street, Des Moines.
Their little daughter, Winifred, took
ill about a week ago with chicken pox.
1t did not seem to be very I'LL, indeed
was playing as usual until fonr hours
before her death. She suddenly took
worse about o'clock in the afternoon,
and went into convulsions and died at
$3.50 p. m. the same evening. Winifred
was born September the 9th, 1904, and
died Tuesday June the 18th, 1907. She
was 2 years 8 months and days old.
Her short life has been spent in this
city, as she was born on the West Side.
She was very winsome little thing,
and was the pride of the home. How
sad is the bereavement! Only those
parents who have been called to pass
under the rod, in giving up one Of their
little ones, can sympathize with these
grief stricken parents. But who can
fore-see the future SO as to be able to
say but that God has done right in TAX
ing this little one? Indeed we know
he has done right, and that which is
for the best, since he doeth all things
we'll. The days will be the longer and
the more wearisome to the tarrying
ones, but God will send compensation
in the blessed memory of her life which
was like the song of the birds.
A short service was held at the home
by the writer in the presence of rela-
tives and friends, at 2:30 p. m. Thursday,
then the little form was taken to Wood
land cemetery, and amid the falling
tears of all who witnessed, was laid to
rest in the snowy bed which had been
prepared for it. Winifred leaves one
younger sister as we'll as parents to
mourn for her. We can but ask God to
bind up the sore hearts of these afflicted
ones. REV, VAN HORN.

Not Successful Until He
Reached Leon.

Sergeant Smith, who is remembered
here as having been one of the first to
join the Rough Riders, was in town
yesterday, visiting old friends for the
first time in many years.
He said that it was odd, but in all his
travels, he had never found good SC.
cigar until he went into Bell & Robin
sons drug store yesterday, where he
bought Wadsworth Bros "Chico.''
Sergeant Smith has smoked Porto Rican
cigars, Cuban perfectos, and Manila
cheroots, but from now on, says he will
have nothing but the "Chico," as it is a
good, clean cigar, with a long Havana
filler, smoking with a firm ash and a
regular 25c. fragrance.
Bell & Robinson have just secured
the local agency for the "Chicos," and
wants all the smokers Of Leon to try
them and see il Sergeant Smith is not a
good judge Of a cigar.
