Decatur County Horse Wins Race
at State Fair.

A Decatur county horse, Col. Axcyone,
owned by John E. Wallace, who lives
just mile south of Weldon, won first
money in three straight heats in the
2:25 trot at the state fair last Thursday
afternoon. The horse is five years old
and was purchased by Mr.. Wallace when
he was yearling. In the first heat Col.
Axcyone drew seventh place but early
in the race he caught the eye of the
crowd by easily moving up to third
place and then was sent after the lead
ers. being second on the west turn, but
came down the homestretch like a whirl-
wind and was lifted into first place just
before the wire was reached. In the
next two heats he was never headed and
won handily under pull, the time be-
ing 2:15a, 2-15a and 2:15s. Mr.. Wal
lace has certainly great horse in Col.
Axcyone, this being his first year on
the race track and he has won every
race in which he has entered, covering
the Missouri circuit before going to
Des Moines. Mr.. Wallace does his own
driving and the horse is perfect actor,
having never been known to break even
under the whip and excitement Of a
driving finish. If nothing should 60
wrong with him he will make one of the
speediest trotters in the world.

FOR STEALING HIDES
c. |. Jennings and Harvey AlIard are
in Jail with a Penitentidry Sen
tenCe Staring at Them.

Last Wednesday night tho slaughter
house of Penniwell Bros. was broken
into and two hides were stolen, the
thieves gaining an entrance by prying
open a door. Virge Penniwel noticed
the loss the following day, but kept
quiet and did little detective work,
with the result that G. L. Jennings and
Harve Allard are in Jail charged with
burglary, and the grand jury which is
now IN session will probably indict
them. MIR. Penniwell found where the
hides had been taken a short distance
from the slaughter house and the heavy
salt shaken out of them, and he sus-
pieioned Jennings who made a trip to
Humeston on Thursday night. so he
telephoned to Humeston and found that
Mosher Bros. had bought hide from
Jennings Friday. Mr.. Penniwell went
to Humeston Saturday and easily identi-
fed the hide as one Of the two stolen,
and it was found that Jennings had sold
the hide to Mosher Bros. who had given
him check for the hide which he en-
dorsed and they then cashed it for him.
AS soon as the hide was identified the
officers were instructed to arrest Jen-
nings and he was found at his home in
this city. After being placed in jail
Jennings said the hide had been brought
to him by Harve Allard who asked him
to take it to Humeston and sell it, and
when he asked where he got it Allard
Esaid that made no difference. He took
the hide to Humeston in telescope
and then put it in sack and took it to
Mosher Bros. Acting on this informa-
tion Allard was also arrested and a
search of the premises where his par
ents reside, revealed the second hide
whi oh was hidden out in some weeds.
Both men were arraigned before Justice
Beck on Monday who bound them over
to the grand jury under bonds of $500,
in default of which they are in Jail
awaiting action by the grand jury on
their case, with a good prospect that
they will have to serve term in the
pen for their crime.

with his wife and family came here two
weeks ago to visit at the home Of his
father-in-law, Uriah Mitten, with the sad
news that his son-in-law, James j.

the Frisco road, but on account of slack
work had gone out that day as fireman

E. D. and Arthur Dorm, who held a ma
jority of the stock Of the bank, and at a
meeting of the directors held Wednes-
day morning Mr.. E. D. Dorm resigned as
cashier and MIR. Ackerley was elected
as cashier. Mr.. Ackerley is an exper-
fenced banker, having been in the busi-
ness for fourteen years, four at Bea-
constield and ten at Grand River, and
he has demonstrated that he is first
class banker. In purchasing the Dorm
stock in the Exchange National Mr..
Ackerley was acting for himself and
several friends who will add new capi-
tai and energy to the bank and with the
old stockholders, j. P. Hamilton, Henry
J. Vogt, S. varga, G. W. Hoffman and DR..
j. w. Wales, it makes an exception
ally strong financial institution and the
business of the bank will greatly in
crease under the new management. The
sENchange National under the present
management starts off in exceptional
good shape, all doubtful paper having
been taken out of the bank by Mr.. Dorm
and the bank has the cleanest lot Of as
sets of any bank in southern Iowa. Mr..
Dorm has not decided upon his future
but will for the present remain in Leon
having considerable business to settle
up here.

HURST BROS. LEON. IOWA

The Hurst advertisements are written
by James W. Hurst who takes special
pains in preparing them and he has
demonstrated that judicious advertis-
ing is paying investment to any bust
ness. In years past Hurst Bros. have
won number of prizes for good adver-
tising and while the credit is due in a
|gress measure to the catchy wording
of the advertisement, it is a matter of
pride to The Reporter that the adver-
tisements put in type in this office are
the ones which win the prizes. The
office is equipped with the necessary
type of late styles to produce effective
advertisements and our advertising is
looked upon by experts as being equal
to that of any of the great dailies.

take in continuing to advertise con.
sistently and somewhat heavily, fol
advertisements that are good enough tt
win the praise of advertising expert.
in contest open to twenty-five thous
and dealers, ought to more than repay
you in trade for every dollar you spend
We shall be glad to see all the ad
vertising matter you may get out il
the future; if it's as good as what W,
have seen of your work, we shall hardl,
ask better. Your very truly,
