New Court Cases.

John Hill VS.. Mary Hill. The plain
tiff is an inmate of the Soldiers Home
at Quincy, III. The defendant resides
at Lamont. They were married at Grand
Island, Neb. in September, 1900, and
lived together until February 1, 1905,
when he alleges he was obliged to run
away, as his wife had since their mar
rage become an habitual drunkard and
when drunk was very abusive to him as
we'll as very cruel. He asks for a decree
OF divorce. Geo. W. Baker, attorney for
plaintiff.
Sarah A. Query VS.. Belle Miller,
James Miller and Albert Farver. The
plaintiff claims she is the owner of an
undivided one-half interest in livery
stable and stock at Davis City, Iowa,
claiming that in February, 1906, deed
in blank to the property in question,
and afterwards her name was erased
from the deed and the name of Belle
Miller substituted, without any author
ity from plaintiff. She asks that the
deed be set aside and the clerk author
lied to make deed to her for the
property. V. r. McGinnis and Geo. w.
Baker, attorneys for plaintiff.
l. N. McDonough VS.. M. f. and Emma
A. Davenport. Suit is brought to fore
close a mortgage for 5000 on the north
east quarter of the southwest quarter

Procuring and Giving Liquor,

By request The Reporter again prints
herewith the sections of the law enact
ed by the Iowa legislature last winter
providing for the punishment of persons
who procure or give liquor to minors or
drunkards. There is going to be some
enforcement of this law in Leon and
about a dozen heads should begin to
dodge.
"No person by himself, agent or other
wise, shall in any manner, procure for
or sell or give any Intoxicating liquors
to any minor for any purpose except
upon written order of his parents,
guardian, or family physician, or give
to or in any manner procure for or sell
the same to any intoxicated person, or
to one in the habit Of becoming intoxi-
Gated"
Sec. 2. Penalty. Any person violat-
ing any of the provisions of section one
hereof shall be guilty of misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof be fined in
sum not less than twenty-five dollars
nor more than two hundred dollars and
costs Of prosecution, and shall stand COM
mitted to the county Jail until such
fine and costs are paid"

Wild West Show Coming.

There is something so refreshingly
new about the Pawnee Bill Historic
Wild West and Great Far East exhibit
ton, which will be at Leon Aug. q
that 1T commends itself to all. 1t is a
departure from all other tented exhibit
lions and it's various departments are
made up of features that have tend
ency not only to entertain but to
educate and elevate as we'll. Major
Gordon w. Lillie-Pawnee Bills
authority for the statement that, "An
exhibition that does not benefit those
who attend, does them harm"
Pawnee Bills show cannot be con-
founded into the old-time circus, and
same acts that have been given year
after year, for every year it is re-organ-
lied and new features are constantly be-
ing added. Everything is natural and
patrons are not obliged to strain their
eyes at two or three rings, for the per-
torrance is all given in one large open
arena, where horses and riders are given
full sway and not confined to the circle
OF circus ring. Another part in which
it is to be complimented is the absence
of close sitting headache producing
tents, and the disagreeable odor that
accompanies oil
With Pawnee Bills show there is no
covered tent and always an abundance
OF pure air. Only canopy tops are used
and these cover only the sections re-
served for seats. They are all sun and
rain proof. Every seat is provided with
back and foot rests and the old-time
circus seats have been relegated to
shows not SO progressive as that of
Pawnee Bills.
Major Lilies motto has always been
his patrons first and himself afterwards.
Uniformed ushers are in attendance at
every performance to look after the
people and answer all questions relative
to the gigantic exhibition. There is
never standing room sold, no matter
how great the demand, consequently
those in the seats never have their
view INSTRUCTED. Every ticket sold
entities the purchaser to- seat.

Weather.Crop Bulletin.
For week ending July %, 1907

FOR week ending July ~, 1907
Des Moines, Iowa
The week was seasonable in temper
azure, and tropical in respect to hui
Nudity, cloudiness and rainfall. Thun-
derstorms were of daily occurrence in
some portions of the state, and in ex-
tended areas heavy damage resulted
from torrential showers, severe wind
squalls and lightning. All observers
report an excess of moisture and sat-
urated condition of the soil, causing
loss of crops on low lands by flooding,
and delaying farm work in corn, mead
ows and grain fields.
The extent of damage caused by
wind and floods can not be estimated
at this time, but it is certain that the
result will be apparent in the final re-
port of the staple crops. The corn crop
has suffered loss Of acreage by floods
and abandonment to the weeds, probably
more than double the estimated increase
of average indicated in the June report.
On we'll drained lands, where the crop
was laid by in good condition, corn has
made very rapid growth, and tassels
are shown in early planted fields.
With favorable weather in the future
the final yield may be fairly good. The
oats crop is mostly ready for the har-
vest, and some of it is in shock. 1t
has suffered material loss by the wet
weather and windstorms of the past
two weeks. Spring wheat and barley
have suffered from the same adverse
conditions. The hay crop has suffered
some loss by wet weather, but the
pastures have gained materially. The
week closed with clearing skies and
brighter outlook.

Mr.. ]. B. Dobson, the well known

NEW FAD IN TOWN,
Many Men Getting Sensibl e
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," a sc.
cigar that has caused many men to get
what may be called the "Chicos" habit.
1t is far more sensible to smoke
cook &c. cigar like the "Chico' land
there is no other sc. cigar like it) than
to pay double the price and get no bet
ter smoke. 1t is made with clear, long
Havana filler, and is especially pleas
ing to the man who has been smoking a
lOc. or two for quarter cigar. 1t
burns freely, and tastes good clear to
the stub.
Try a "Chico,' and see if you, too, do
not get into the habit of frequenting
Bell & Robinson's store for your supply
of cigars.
