NO PENN-CoRNELL MEET.
Quaker and Tthacan Track Teams
VIII Not Compete This Spring.

Philadelphia. May 2-Thcre will be no
dual track and field meet this year be-
tween the University of Pennsylvania
and Cornell This decision was announced
last night by the Quaker track committee.
The meet had originally been set for May
., the same day as the Princeton base
ball game. It would probably have been
held but for the fact that Cornell de-
manded guarantee that Pennsylvania
considered too high
After series of negotiations the
Ithacans agreed 90 cut their demand In
two. but when they had arrived at this
conclusion It was too late for the Penn
sylyania team TO get in condition for fine
meet and it was called off. Now PennsyY-
vania Will have no dual meet this year
and will have no tryouts until the inter-

The satisfactory outcome OF the Briar-
chm race. with enghteen cars out OF
twenty-five running at the finish, has
done great deal TO open up the spring
markets. Sales OF cars In all the Eastern
territory are reported to have increased
since the race and inquiries are numer-
GUS.
Recent announcement OF special time
trials at a mile and a kilometer on Long
Island on June s, proL..0iy under the aus
pices OF the Long Island Club, have given
stimulus to racing in and about New
York; Other track meets and hill climbs
are scheduled for early dates. There are
also rumors OF twenty-four-hou races to
be held in the near future.
No settlement OF the Vanderbilt race
question has yet been arrived at Harvey
Granger and A. w Solomon. both OF sa-
vannah Club, have been in New York in
conference with w. *. Vanderbilt and
the A. A. A. officials. but the outcome OF
the deliberations has not yet been an
nounced. That there will be a decision
within a week as to the location OF the
race seems probable. IL is said that en-
tries of two Isotta. two Apperson, two
Thomas cars, and one Acme are already
assured.
Ahe certainty that there Will be van
derbiit cup race this fall has interested a
number OF American manufacturers sufi-
GENTLY to bring forth assurance Of en-
tries. How freely foreign racing cars viii
be entered is somewhat a matter Of con-
lecture. but at least ten American cars
are assured, it is reported
Among the concerns which will surely
enter is the Acme Motor Car Company,
OF Reading, Pa, which announces that it
will be represented by at least one car.
III. M. Sternbergh, president, is authority
for the statement that negotiations have
been opened with Louis Strang to pilot
the Acme car in the Vanderbilt race II
Is not known whether the car to be en-
tered is to be a stock sextuplet or wheth-
er special car will be buile to carry the
colors OF the Pennsylvania factory. But
that an Acme will be seen in the Wander
bilt is settled.

LEON BOY MAKES GOOD
Attorney Lewis B. Jackson who is
Winning Fame and Fortune in
Oklahoma Visits Old Home.

Lewis B. jackson, accompanied by his
wife and two children, arrived Saturday
evening from Sapulpa, Okla, to spend
two weeks in this, his boyhood home,
and has been busy renewing acquaint-
ances and receiving the congratulations
of his friends ever since he arrived.
Four years ago Mr.. jackson decided to
strike out and seek new home and
after looking over the new countries Sc
lected SapuDpa, Ind. Ty., as his home.
He had practiced law in Leon for sever
al years, but business comes slowly to a
young lawyer in a town where he has
spent all his life, and he wisely decided
to make change. Success has crowned
his efforts and he is fast winning name
as one of the leading lawyers in Okla
homa. In four years he has built up
one of the best legal practices in the
new state, and at the first election held
in the new state he was honored by be-
ing elected county attorney of Creek
county on the democratic ticket, for
Lew was always staunch democrat.
He has had remarkable success in his
profession and has successfully prose-
cuted several murder cases since his
election. Recently Creek county has
been having spirited contest over the
selection of permanent county seat,
and Sapulpa won out at the election
held last week. When the new state
was organized Sapulpa was named as
the temporary county seat, but as it
was located within 81 miles Of the east
line of a county forty miles wide, the
town of Bristow which was located
within four miles Of the center of the
county, made spirited fight for the
county seat. At the election held last
week Sapulpa won out and becomes the
permanent county seat, having major
ity of 541 in a total vote of about 1900.
And Mr.. jackson had prominent part
in the victory, judging from the follow
ing which appeared in the Sapulpa
Daily Democrat Of last Friday:
County Attorney L. B. jackson, the
man who put in 80 days and made 10
speeches on the county seat matter in
the interest of Sapulpa, and who
scarcely went to bed during that time,
will, together with his family, leave for
Icon, Iowa, his old home tonight, to en-
joy much needed rest. spending most
of his time at the "old swimmin' hole"
and eating fried chicken.
To L. B. jackson and his aggressive
campaign, is due, in large measure the
success of Sapulpa in the county seat
fight. He had attended that notorious
first convention" at Bristow and then
and there swore revenge, if the oppor-
tunity ever came. 1t came in this cleo
tion and Attorney L. B. Jackson m4de
good all the way through, and his
friends will wish him most pleasant
visit.

Frank Kelley a Happy Father.

We have received copy Of the Peoria,
ILL.,, Journal, of Monday, in which we
find the following notice of the birth Of
a daughter to Mr.. and Mrs.Frank Kelley
of that city, both of whom we're former
employees of The Reporter office, Mrs.
Kelley being remembered as Miss Ethel
Penniwell. The Reporter adds it's con.
gratulations to those of many friends
mere:
The odor of sanctity about the Jour-
nal office today gives way to incense
burned at the shrine of the goddess
Nicotine in honor of new arrival at
the home of Frank P. Kelley, 800 Fifth
street. Kelley, who is we'll beloved
member of the typographical force, has
gone about with subdued air of late,
in contrast to the peans of Joy that
issued from his lips this morning when
he made his appearance with box of
cigars and the announcement: "It's
GIRL came at $50 this morning and
weighs over nine pounds; all doing
well; have smoke" This is the second
daughter and congratulations are sin
cere and numerous.

Good Roads Meeting at Waterloo.

The fourth annual school of instruc-
tion for Iowa road officers was held at
Waterloo August 10th to 10th with a
good attendance. Prominent road work
ers and state officials from all parts of
the state were in attendance and the
meeting proved to be splendid one.
Hon. G. G. Dye, of Woodland, who has
made a state wide reputation for road
work read paper on "Hill Roads" at
this meeting which was very favorably
commented upon. The Waterloo Re-
porter gave splendid writeup of the
meeting each day and in it we find the
following notice Of Mr.. Dye:
Hon. G. c. Dye, of Decatur county, is
in the city and is strong advocate of
the good roads question having made a
special study of road construction in
rough and hilly country. Mr.. Dye has
as an illustration large number of
metal forms Of road conditions which
he uses in his talks on methods of road
construction in hilly districts. His ad-
dress on Estate and Natural Aid before
the 9th national congress of good
roads, was very sstrong argument in
favor of the state and nation giving aid
for the working of the highways. Mr..
Dye spoke Wednesday on "Hill Roads
and his ideas were we'll received.

More Improvements at the poul.
try Plant.

President W. T. S. White. of Chicago,
and secretary W. W. Richardson, of
Clarinda, of the Clarinda Poultry, Butter
& Egg Co., were in Leon last Thursday
inspecting the big plant which the
company owns in this city, and while
here ordered some improvements at the
big plant, and force of men are now
at work building three story building,
40x4Qsfeet, which will be used for chick
en- pens in which to keep the live poul-
try when it comes in such quantities
that it cannot be dressed at once. Dur
ing the past two years many cars of
live poultry have been shipped from
the plant here to Creston and Clarinda
on account Of not having room to han
die them and they desire to prevent
this by building additional pens. The
new building is entirely separate from
the main building. The feeding station
was opened last week and about fifteen
thousand chickens are on feed now. AS
soon as the first feeding is ready to be
dressed, which will be in about week
or ten days, things will liven up and a
number of addition men will be put at
work.

Davis City Reunion A Success.

The Davis City reunion held last week
as usual attracted big crowd not
withstanding the rainy weather which
interfered somewhat with the attend
ance, but on Thursday there was an
enormous crowd there and all seemed
to have good time. The usual number
of stands and paid shows were there,
and they also had several good free at
fractions on the platform. Good speak
ers were present each day to ad-
dress the people and as usual the ball
games were we'll attended. Wednesday
afternoon Lamont defeated Pleasanton
by q score of s to 2. Thursday morning
a pickup team from Leon was defeated
by Lamont by score of II to 4, and in
the afternoon the regular Leon team
defeated Davis City in a hot game
by score of ? to 1. Friday afternoon
Charlton and Lamont played, the first
game being won by Charlton with a
score of 6 to 4, and as each team had
won two games this season second
game was played to decide between
them, but after playing eight innings the
game was called on account OF darkness
with the score tie, 2 to 2. There is
something which attracts the people to
Davis City whenever they have a re-
union and nearly everybody from Leon
went down.

Building Collapsed.

Last Friday just before noon the frame
building standing in the street just
south of the Exchange National Bank,
which was moved there to make room
for Penniwell's new brick block, col
lapsed in a heap, and Frank Pickering
who was working with J. f. Penniwell
in demolishing the building was caught
when the building fell, being buried
under the debris and for few minutes
it was thought he had been killed, but
he miraculously escaped with some
severe bruises. Mr.. Penniwell had
taken out the glass front and torn the
roof off and as the building was pretty
old it was weak and gust of wind
made it topple over. Mr.. Pickering
was working inside the building, being
up on a ladder taking off ceiling when
he noticed the building shaking and al
though he jumped from the ladder and
tried to reach the door he could not es-
cape. He had presence of mind to
throw himself between the joists as
the building fell and the lath broke
some Of the force Of the timbers. He
was knocked flat on the floor and the
roof and part of one side was on top Of
him. Mr.. Penniwell was just outside
the building and he rushed to his as
sistance being joined by others and the
injured man was pulled out of the wreck
age. All the wind had been knocked
out of him and he was stunned, but was
able to walk home and returned to work
in the afternoon but his body is black
and blue in large spots. All the glass
taken from the front had been placed
inside the building SO it would not be
broken and this was all crushed. The
damage aside from the broken glass
was merely nominal.
