 cred at the Palace.
 Constantinople, July 27.-Demonsrra- ton over the new Turkish constItu- tion. which was promulgated July 24, continues. A crowd of over 100000 persons gathered at the palace this morning and cheered the Sultan.
 Persian subjects in Constantinople have telegraphed the Shah informing him that the Sultan had granted a constitution to his subjects and de- cIaring that if the Persian eonstitu- tion Is not rested they all will adopt Ottoman nationality.
 The demonstrations of popular joy have attained such proportions that the government this afternoon decided it advisable to remind the public that the Millienium had not yet arrived, and an official communication was made public inviting the people to re- main calm and not strive for impos- sible things. The notice adds that preparations are being made for the holdings of elections with the view of assembling the new Parliament in the fall.

Hon. J. B. Sullivan Spoke.

The opera house was we'll filled Mon
day evening in spite of the rain and
threatening weather, to hear Hon. J. B.
Sullivan speak on the political issues
of the day. Mr.. Sullivan spoke at Mt.
Ayr in the afternoon and had to come
to Leon in an auto, a delay on the road
preventing him reaching Leon until a
few minutes after o'clock and he went
right to the opera house without any
supper. He spoke for nearly two hours
and his address was a masterly one, for
he is one of the best pubiiv s.,3eakers
in the country. He gave splendid IL
lustration of the differences between
the two political candidates for presi-
dent, apd urged the people to vote in
their own interests this fall. He also
called attention to the record of Col.
Hepburn on public questions and told
of the good things which his opponent,
Senator Jameson, had accomplished for
the people and urged that Hepburn be
retired this fall. Mr.. Sullivan COM
manded the attention and respect of the
large audience throughout his address
and at the close nearly everyone
present went forward to shake hands
with him and there were goodly num-
Der of republicans in the crowd.

WATER pOWE RlFLOUR MILL
Clean as a Model Kitchen Says the
Wholesale Grocer,

''You don't hear SO much about the,
water power mill these days" said the
grocer, probably because there are SO.
few of them. But the millers who grind
with water power certainly have big.
advantage not only in economy but in
cleanliness.
"You'd think SO if you should inspect
the mills l recently visited at Law
renee, Kansas, where Zephyr Flour is
made.
"It is a sight for man or woman who
likes to know the guod articles are kept
as clean as human care can keep them.
These mills are light, airy and as free
from dirt as model kitchen. The abb
sense of big smoky steam plant GER
tainly helps.
The Bowersock Mills and Power Com
pany say that they have not utilized
their fuel saving to cut down the cost
of production, but have put it into
every improvement that makes better
flour. 1t is not hard to believe that.
The equipment of these mills is the
finest ever saw.

Leon Wins by Large Score

The foot ball team of the local high
school defeated the Osceola high school
team last Saturday by the score of 81
to 0.
The visitors were outclassed in every
stage of the game and used nothing but
straight football while the locals used
the new style of play to advantage,
working several forward passes for
long gains. Osceola only made first
down once, being tackled nearly every
time for loss.
Leon scored it's first touchdown in the
first five minutes of play and after that
scored almost at will having run up
total of y points at the close of the
first half.
In the second half the Leon backs
slowed down in order to rest up for the
Graceland game next Friday but even
at that they scored three touchdowns
in the 20 minutes of play.

the attention of neighbor who sum-
moned medical assistance, and every
thing that medical skill and careful

About "sealshipt" Oysters.

"sealshipt" Oysters are dish eft for
a King" They have flavor that
causes the epicure to smack his lips for
more.
The only way to get the true oyster
flavor is to buy "Sealshipt" Oysters.
''Sealshipt" come direct from the
beds, packed in airtight, steel contain
ers, with ice around the containers but
not in contact with the oysters. "Seal-
shipt" is the only method of shipping
that retains the original, distinctive
oyster taste. You get solid, natural
sized meats. The price of "Sealshipt'
is higher than for tasteless. soft, insipid
tub oysters; yet they actually cost less,
since they go so much farther. But
"Sealshipt" Oysters are worth more
than any oysters you ever saw-you
will agree to this after you have once
tried them.
Notice how temptingly "sealshipt"
Oysters are displayed in the Pure
White Porcelain Case bearing the Blue
"Sealshipt" Trade Mark-your guaranty
of purity and excellence.

Turn on the Lights.

Mr.. Mayor, members of the electric
light committee, and members of the
city council: Under it's contract with
the Leon Electric Light Co. the city Of
Leon pays a good price for the street
lights used in lighting our city. For
some reason the city is not getting the
service it is entitled to. Nearly every
evening it is so dark that people can
hardly get along the streets before the
street lights are turned On, and OH
many nights the street lights are turn
ed off before they should be. 1t should
be somebody's duty to see that the
street lights are turned on every night
at dusk and that they be kept on until
twelve o'clock at night. Won't you see
that it is made somebody's duty to Sc
cure the service for the people they are
entitled to.

Attend Reunion of Fifth Kansas.

James G. Harris and John Holden re-
turned Friday night from Kansas City,
Kansas, where they attended the re-
union of their regiment, at which were
present about seventy veterans of the
civil war, representing all that is left
of the once fighting Fifth Kansas Cav
airy. A big banquet was held for the
old veterans at the Gund hotel on We'd
nesday evening and presiding at the
head of the table were General Powell
Clayton, of Arkansas, Col. W. A. Jen-
kins, of Chicago, Colonel T. W. Scudder
of Topeka, Major S. r. Harrington, Of
Portland, Oregon, Colonel Tom Ander-
son, of Topeka, and Major E. S. w.
Drought of Kansas City, all of whom
had helped lead the Fifth Kansas
through many of it's engagements dur
ing the rebellion.
Although the Fifth Kansas maintain
ed an organization since directly
after the war, this is the first time it
has met for fourteen years, the reunion
at that time being held at Otta wa, Kas.
Since then Master Time has greatly
thinned the ranks and there remains
but remnant of the old regiment.
Owing to the age of the veterans and
the few remaining, who are scattered
all over the United States, this may be
the last reunion that will be held.
Comrades Harris and Holden were
both members of Co. B, and there were
but seven members of their company at
the reunion, the others being Cooper
Cooley, Charles Minter, James Combs,
Thomas Griffin and George Hathaway.
The two Leon members report having
a great time, being we'll entertained by
the citizens of Kansas City and every
courtesy was shown to them.

Sending Money to Oklahoma Banks.

The Oklahoma Trust Co., of Musko-
gee, Okla, one Of the largest banks in
that state, are sending out thousands
of circulars to people in Iowa and other
states, soliciting deposits which are
guaranteed under the Oklahoma bank
ing law. They pay 4 per cent interest,
compounded twice a year, and statis-
tics show that bank deposits have in
creased many millions in Oklahoma since
they passed the guaranteed bank law.
The people are entitled to and will in
sist on having their bank deposits guar
anteed, and if the law is not made
national one, Oklahoma and few other
states will soon secure the bulk of the
bank deposits of the whole country.
The only way to prevent it is to vote
the democratic ticket this fall, for the
democratic party is pledged to secure a
national bank guarantee law.
