CIayborn Moore.

Clayborn Moore was born in Grundy
county, Missouri, September II, 1885,
and died at his home in Lineville, Iowa,
July %, 1908, aged y years, 10 months
and II days. He was married to Mary
]. Bright on March 1, 1858. To this
union ten children we're born, five of
whom are living: Douglas Moore, of
Coffeyville, Kas.; Mrs. Florence Conner,
of Ravanna, Mo-; Mahlon Moore and
Mrs. Tincie Hubbard, of Decatur county,
Iowa; Everett Moore, of Lineville, Iowa.
Mr.. Moore was an early settler of
Morgan township, this county, where
he resided until few years ago when
he sold his farm and moved to Line
vile. He was soldier during the civil
war, being member of Co. L, 7th Mo.
cavalry. He was man highly respected
by his neighbors, having held nearly
all the Offices in Morgan township and
taking deep interest in all public
affairs. He left to mourn his loss be-
sides the children his aged companion
who had travelled life's road with him
for more than fifty years and a large
number of relatives, friends and neigh
bors. He had long been a member of
the A. G. church and lived a consistent
christian life and died in the blessed
hope of eternal life through Christ
The funeral services were conducted at
the house by Rev. Hiatt, interment be-
ing in the Evergreen cemetery at Line
Vile.

An Old Game.

Last Thursday afternoon two strang-
ers, D. P. Dyer and B. Bemis, went to
the homes Of Herk Duncan and Wesley
Patterson in Bluff Creek township and
claimed to be specialists in treatment
of weak eyes. Both farmers have been
afflicted with weak eyes for several
years and when the men made their
business known and produced what was
supposed to be good recommendations
they fell easy victims to the swindlers.
After putting up smooth talk Dyer
and Bemis produced what they called a
contract for fifty dollars for series of
treatments. Patterson paid ten dollars
in cash and signed the contract. Mr..
Duncan signed the contract but paid no
money in advance. The swindlers re-
turned to Abba, received the cash on
the supposed contracts, which in fact
were notes, and departed for parts un-
known.
The supposed swindlers left spec
tacles and medicine with Messrs Patter-
son and Duncan and the latter says that
| after using the medicine he could see
better than he has for any time for the
past four years.
The notes were not sold at any of the
local banks but will probably be pre-
sented for collection in few days

Big Barn Burned.

Last Friday morning about 1:30 the
terrible screaming of the fire whistle
in the electric light plant aroused the
people Of Leon and surrounding country
from their slumbers. 1t was soon learned
that the large barn on the Mrs. Ange-
line Smith farm three miles north of
Leon was on fire and that help was
needed. AS soon as it was possible a
good many from town arrived at the
scene but too late to save the barn and
sheds. All the neighborhood in the
Smith locality was out and it was only
by the hardest kind of work that the
house was saved.
The barn contained 20 tons Of hay, 400
bushels of oats, 60 bushels of wheat, SO
bushels of rye and 40 bushels of corn.
These with the work harness and the
wagons were burned.
The big shed adjoining the barn was
also burned but from it was saved the
buggies and some other articles. A
number of farm Implements, however,
were burned.
The general supposition is that the
fire was caused from spontaneous COM
bustion. The fire was first discoved by
Miss Smith, who Immediately gave the
alarm and telephoned the neighbors and
to Leon for help.
The loss is over $4,000 with insurance
Of only $1,000. The Smith family de-
sire to extend their hearty thanks to
all who readily responded to their ap-
peal for help and thus saved to them
their home.

Presidential States.

If MIR. Bryan should be elected new
state, Nebraska, will take it's place in
the list of those that have given presi-
dents to the nation; if Mr.. Taft should
be elected he will be the fifth president
taken from Ohio, from which state Will
liam Henry Harrison, Hayes, Garfield
and Mckinley were chosen.
Virginia gave the nation five chief
magistrates: Washington. Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe and Tyler; and New
York also supplied five, Van Buren,, Fill
more, Arthur, Cleveland and Roosevelt.
From Tennessee came three, Jackson,
Polk and Johnson; from Massachusetts,
two, the Adamses; from New Hampshire
one, Franklin Pierce, and from Pennsyl-
vania one, Buchanan.
In all, only ten states have named
presidents, and of these five, Virginia,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
Pennsylvania, were of the original thir-
teen that formed the union. The
other five states that have had presi-
dents are Illinois, with Lincoln and
Grant; Ohio, Indiana, with Benjamin
Harrison; Tennessee, and Louisiana
with Zachary Taylor.
Virginia's old title of mother OF
presidents" applied only to the early
period of our national history, but New
York might we'll be called the mother
of vice presidents, four of her presi-
dents since and with Van Buren having
been vice-presidents, while Aaron Burr
served with Jefferson, George Clinton
with Madison, and Daniel d. Tomkins
with Monroe,

tendent of the state census in 1895 and
for three years was an auditing expert
in the department of labor in Washing
ton. He also served as clerk of Jeffer-

Hasn't a Friend.

"That man hasn't got friend in
town." head a fellow say in speaking
of a certain man. OF course the fellow
has few friends, but the remark gives
something to think about. Why are his
friends SO scarce? I'll tell you. He has
taken advantage of the opportunity to
gold brick them. When it came his turn
to do them favor they needed he
wasn't there with the goods. When the
other fellows were out with their
shoulders to the wheel pushing for the
good of the town he was holding back
in the traces and saying he didn't
owe the town anything. He has had a
racket with almost every man he has
had business dealings with; he has shot
off his mouth about things he knew moth
ing about, and been on the contrary side
of every question with his neighbors.
In other words, he has lived as though
there was nobody else in the commun-
ity with any rights. But the point to
make is this: Are you living the same
way? Has your bump of selfishness
grown so large that you can't look over
it any more and see your neighbor? Do
you keep supply Of gold bricks and
unload one onto a friend at every
chance? If you do the time will come
when the fellows will stand on the edge
Of the sidewalk and say of you, HE
hasn't got friend in town."-Bert

We were billed to start on the return
trip at o'clock but there was so
much to see that it was after Z O'clock
when we started on the return trip, our
train having been switched over to the
Colorado Midland tracks and we were
taken back to Colorado Springs via Ute
Canon, the route being longer but not
so interesting as going up, the scenery
not being near so grand or startling.
1t was a tired party which left the
train at Colorado Springs that night at
IL o'clock, but it was jolly and good
natured one, for all felt that they had
enjoyed novel and very instructive
trip to the greatest gold mining field
in the world. The last train for Denver
was gone so there was a rush for the
hotels and we doubt if the hotels ever
had so many guests without baggage
drop in on them for nearly everyone had
gone on the trip expecting to be back
in Denver that night and did not want
to be bothered with baggage. The Re-
porter family we're caught with the rest,
but as the Pixies Peak Press Club of Col
orado Springs had their boosters along
on the trip and promised all who could
stay a week of pleasure at Colorado
Springs and Manitou, it was up to us to
make the best of the situation, so The
Reporter man made a flying trip back
to Denver the next morning and packed
our trunk and grip and we will settle
down to do the Springs and Manitou for
a few days, but will have to tell you
about it in cur next letter, for it is
hard work to find time to write.

New Train Service Next Week.

Official notice of the long looked for
additional train to and from Des Moines,
has been received by agent Ketcham,
and the new service will commence on
Monday, August Sd. The service at this
time will only be extended as far as
Togo, but it is thought that later the
train will run to Lamont or Mt. Ayr.
The new train going to Des Moines will
leave Leon at $50 a. m., and arrive at
Des Moines 1880 a. m.. returning it
leaves Des Moines at 1925 and arrives
at Leon at $50 p. m. Postmaster Stookey
has as yet received no notice as to the
arrangements for carrying mail on this
new train, but as there is postal clerk
on the run from Van Vert to Des Moines,
it is thought that we will also secure
the additional mail service. The new
train will be great accommoda-
tion to the travelling public and it has
long been needed.

LA6GARDS MAY LOSE OUT.
Merchants Announce That ST. SO
Chautauqua Season Tickets are
Nearly Gone.

1t should be understood by those in
tending to attend the coming Chautau-
qua that only a limited number of tick
cts were printed and secured by local
merchants and business men, and boos-
ters, admitting to the Chautauqua for
week beginning Tuesday August, out
side of those held by the local boosters
noue of the $1.50 tickets have been
printed or will be sold and SO those are
being picked up at lively rate, it
would behoove patrons to supply their
wants while the opportunity remains
open. The Redpath SYSTEMS ticket
sellers are rigidly required to sell no
tickets, under $500 and none will be
sold for less at the gate.
How the Chautauqua, with it's
splendid array of talent, celebrities and
entertainers and novelties, can supply
seventeen complete programs, of such
class and interest for $1.5O is a matter
for wonderment. The tickets are we'll
worth $500 which will be asked at the
gates, to the Chautauqua grounds after
the opening on Tuesday. However that
is no reason why complete advantage
should not be taken of the $1.50 rate
offered by local men while it endures
and citizens save one fourth the price of
admission by buying early and of home
dealers. Get your tickets Of the local
merchants and get Them now. Some
others may get yours if you delay.

The Reporter editor, wife and little
daughter returned this morning from
their vacation in Colorado. We had a
delightful outing and travelled pretty
much all over the state of Colorado, and
until we started home Monday night
had at no time suffered from the heat, a
coat and wraps being comfortable all
the time, so this hot weather strikes us
pretty hard. We saw lots of magnifi-
cent scenery, snow, rocks and mountains,
but it looks mighty good to us back here
in good old Iowa, especially the green
fields and abundant crops. We are now
ready to settle down for another year
of hard work.

Haylng Season over.

During the past several weeks the
farmer has been making hay while the
sun shines, or rather between showers.
The haying season of this year has been
one Of the most exasperating ever ex-
perienced by the farmers of this section
on account Of the large amount Of rain
that has fallen. Few days have been
experienced, when the farmer could go
out in the field and be certain that it
would not rain before evening. This
was not conductive to good results
that is, in the way of harvesting this
years crop of hay.
