SPANISH WAR VETERAN :.
Will Meet in Reunion in Dubuque
June II to Id

The United Spanish War Veterans of
the Department of Iowa will hold their
first annual encampment and convention
in Dubuque, June 18th to 18th inclusive,
AS this will be the first reunion of any
pretensions since the muster out it may
therefore be considered general invi-
tation to all veterans of the Spanish
American War and Philippine Insur-
rection who enlisted prior to July 4th,
1902. 1t is expected that all local vet
Grams who can possibly do so will take
advantage of this opportunity to meet
their old comrades whether they are
members Of the organization or not.
The United Spanish War Veterans is
an amalgamation of all the organiza-
tons which have been formed since the
muster out and has thoroughly organ
lied camps in all the states in the
Union. Fitzhugh Lee Camp of the con-
vention city has arranged an attractive
series of entertainments including
among others, steamboat rides, both
daylight and moonlight, auto-car and
trolley rides in and about the entire
city, the usual features of veterans
gatherings such as campfres and reg
mental reunions have been provided
for.
The G. A. r. Encampment, Depart
ment of Iowa will be held on the same
dates and the railroads have granted a
one fare rate from all points in Iowa.
1t is expected the gathering will be
largely attended and that the local vet
Grams will not be remiss is foregone
conclusion.

HOME ENDORSEMENT.
Hundreds of Leon Citizens Can Tell
You All About 1t.

Home endorsement, the public en-
preston of Leon people, should be
evidence beyond dispute for every Leon
reader. Surely the experience of
friends and neighbors, cheerfully given
by them, will carry more weight than
the utterance of strangers residing in
faraway places Read the following:
Miles Martindale, living in the south
west part of Leon, says: "Last winter
came home from days work and was
taken with chills and fever. Since then
my kidneys have bothered me. The
secretions from those orgaus contained
sediment, were full of acid, scalded
pain existed in my loins and Kidneys
and during the day if l stopped sharp
twinges were my reward and at night
l was unable to straighten if even sat
still in chair for short time. l tried
everything which came to my notice in
the shape of a medicine but l really

of better. Finally deciding to try

In Contempt OF the public.

Outside of the jurisdiction of the
Iowa courts, j. L. Patterson is not in
contempt of court for refusing to at
tend as witness the Dunning trial at
Osceola. But he is not outside of the
jurisdiction of the contempt process of
the minds of the good people of Ringold
county and Mt. Ayr. Ringold county
saw fit to make Mr.. Patterson one Of
the county officers for some years. He
was honored with his consent, with
positions on the school board and
council while he lived in Mt. Ayr. He
was often in several capacities an
officer of the court of Ringgold county.
While holding such positions of honor
and trust he asked that his acts be at
with the law and entitled to the respect
OF all law abiding citizens until they were
found to be other than according to
law. But now that he is not resident
OF this state and amenable to the pro-
cesses of it's courts he takes upon him
self the authority to decide that the
acts Of this county's officers in COM
handing him to appear at a trial of a
man indicted by the grand jury are not
regular and right and that he will dis
regard them and in that way prevent
such officers from getting verdict on
the evidence they have gathered at
great expense to show that the man
indicted was guilty. He has decided
that such officers were not proceeding
according to law and as they should do.
He is in contempt of all good men if not
in contempt of court. If it were a
time of war rather than peace he would
be called traitor.-Mt. Ayr Press.

Lubbock Family Have Troubles.

Little Dorthey, the three year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Lubbock,
and whose home is near his livery
stable, went over there Thursday after
noon, and while playing around with her
little sister found a bottle, and childlike,
Immediately wanted to investigate, and
drank same. AS soon as it was krown
she had drank from the bottle contain
ing carbolic acid, Drs. Springsteen and
Eiker were summoned, and by their
united efforts the childs life was saved ,
and at present is getting along nicely.
Monday evening little Louie, another
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lubbock,
while in the kitchen overturned the tea
pot, spilling the contents, which was
boiling hot, over it's face and arm, scald-
ing it terribly, though it is hoped, not
dangerously. At last reports the little
one was doing fairly we'll.
Mrs. Lubbock, the mother, who has
been quite i'll for short time, is much
better at present. She was confined to
her bed at the time these accidents
occurred but we are glad to know she is
now much improved.
Mr.. Lubbock, also, has been confined
to the house for few days, but is now
able to be around, though feeling quite
pocrly.-Decatur Bulletin.

conditions, from the standpoint of a

THE VILLAIN PURSUES 'EM
Roller Cough Added to the Already
Long List OF Current
AmictiOns.

We are developing all manner Of new
affiictions along with our progress in the
arts of civilization. The bicycle stoop, the
chauffeur's eye, the strap-hanger's wrist
are disorders we'll known to the medical
profession which were unknown to the
slower and happier men Of former gem
Grafton. Another has been added to the
list of these ailments which lie in wait
for the unwary, ana this one more ter
rible and devastating than all the rest.
Comparatively few people own automobiles
as yet, and the bicycle has lost its olden
fascination since It has become so cheap.
The telephone ear is so universal as to
rouse no comment whatever, and tunnelitis
and spasmodlc rheum caused by whizzing
through under Mount Washington. Is now
as obsolete as the superstition about the
white horse and the authenticated damsel.

arisen to haunt us-the roller coughl

craze is raging again. This edifying and

rise up and denounce it as the cause OF

Tho roller cough is upon us. You will

Of this cough. and that the fine particles Of

HOW THE RlVERMAN RIDES
Floats Away on Marrow Perch aS
Gracefully and MOtiOnleSs
as n statue.

First and foremost your true river man
can ride a log. This does not mean merely
that he is able to stand upright or to jump
from one to another without splashing In
though even that is no mean feat, as
trial will convince you.
That is only the kindergarten OF It. The
saw log in the water is the means OF trans
portation Of your true river man who,
when on drive, almost never steps on land
except to eat and sleep.
A journey down stream Is to him an ar
fair Of great simplicity. He pushes into the
current stick OF timber. jumps lightly
atop OF It, leans against his peavy. and
hoats away as graceful and motionless as
a Grecian statue.
When his unstable craft overtakes other
logs, he deserts it, runs forward as far as
he can-the logs bobbing and awash behind
his spring-and so continues on another
timber.
Jack Boyd once, for bet, rode for twelve
miles down Grand river on log he could
carry to the streams bank across his
shoulders. Fully half the time his feet
were submerged to the ankles.
Nor does quick water always cause your
expert river man to disembark. Using his
peavy as a balancing pole, and treading
with squirrel-lil1e quickness as his footing
