Residence Damaged by Fire.

Another fire alarm was sounded
about IL O'Clock Saturday night,
when the residence of w. II. Moore
in the northeast part of the city was
discovered to be on fire by a neighbor,
there being no one at home at the
time, Mrs Moore being away on a
visit at Kellerton, and Mr.. Moore was
down town. The fire seemed to have
started in the roof near a fue, but
how it started is not known, as there
had been no fire in the stove since
the previous day. Mr.. Moore was at
home at supper time and used gas
oline stove to cook supper on. The
fire was between the rafters and was
hard to locate and the house and con-
tents were considerably damaged by
water and smoke before the fire was
put out. The house is owned by
Jonathan Hamilton, and was insured.
Mr.. Moore also had 5000 insurance
on his household goods

Chautauqua Attractions.

Mr.. Graham, of the Redpath-Vaw-
ter Chautauqua system which will
again hold the Chautauqua in this
city commencing August 8th, was in
Leon last Wednesday evening and
gave us an inkling of what the pro-
gram is going to be this year. 1t had
been stated that there would be po-
iitical speakers representing the diff
lerent parties and factions, but this
has been abandoned as not practical.
Among the prominent speakers this
year will be Congressman Duncan
Mckinley, who is the only speaker
who was here last year who will ap-
pear again at the Leon Chautauqua.
Congressman Henry F. Rainey, of IL
linois, Rev. Ernest Wary O'Neal a
noted Methodist divine of Chicago,
Judge Lee Francis Lybarger, Matti-
son w. Chase, DR.. A. A. Willis, the
noted divine. Father MacCorry, and
possibly Judge Ben Lindsey. Then
there is Strickland Gilliland the hum
orous, and Edward Russell Perry the
dramatic lecturer, and others.
The musical features of the pro-
gram will be strong this year, as we
get two great bands, Bohrnur Kryl
and his Bohemian band and the Roy
al Guards band, another great band,
cartoonists, quartets, magicians and
entertainers.
For the little folks instead of be-
ing indians this year it will be King
Arthur's Court and round table work
The official program will be announc-
ed within short time, and there will
positively be no failure this year on
the part of any of the speakers or at
fractions, as they are all booked for
the entire season.
The Chautauqua this year will be
the best yet, and everyone knows we
have had splendid programs in the
past years.

will Commence New Depot Soon.

Superintendent Robert Rice and
other Burlington officials were here
Monday looking after matters con-
nected with the new depot which is
to be built in this city. They said
that active work on the depot would
be commenced within short time
and the work would be pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible. The
two houses which stand on the lots
where the new depot will be located
are to be moved off at once and then
grading will commence. Two cars
of big cement culyerts have been un-
loaded at the foot Of Main street, and
the railroad company will place them
along the east side Of Main street
and across under the tracks SO as to
take the water from the big ditch
straight south instead of crossing the
street and under the old bridge at
the foot of the street. The work of
changing the tracks and rebuilding
the switches and, adding more switch
tracks will commence at once.
