That Dear Old Iowa Climate.

California's climate amt so much,
for our Iowa brands just beats the
Dutch. One day the marrow in your
bones is froze and then it turns
around and SHOWS, then it clears
away and the sun comes out and the
snow banks all go up the spout. The
water fills every dinky ditch and the
mud sticks closer than the seven
year itch. The geezer gets out his
old straw hat, but he couldn't imag-
inc where he's at, for by the time he
gets boat he's got to hustle for his
overcoat. The mercury drops and it
begins to rain and the rain drops
turns to snow again; the barometer
drops away down low, and the north
ern blizzard begins to blow. He calls
the weather man liar and huddles
closer to a roaring fire. Of the
western climate the poets sing, but
the Iowa is the real thing.

For several months the Hotel Leon
has been in charge of a big force of
workmen who have remodeled and
reitted the building throughout,
every room being newly painted and

etc. was bought, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. B. Cooper, of Davis City, who
have splendid reputation as first
class hotel people are in charge. The
hotel now has over thirty splendid

THE LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
Interesting Items of Local Interest
Picked Up by The Reporter
During the Present Week.

We regret very much that Ben
Watchbaugh, our auctioneer, has de-
cided to move to Leon in the near
future, but owing to his being un-
able to make satisfactory arrange
ments for residence property, and
the sale territory being limited, he
has thought best to move to the coun-
ty seat, but will pay special atten-
tion to this territory when farmers
want sales cried. Ben is good auc-
tioneer and has the reputation of
getting high prices, and we predict
that it will be no trouble for him to
hold the business of this section

HUSBANDS RIGHT
TO CHAST|SE WIFE
WOMAN DEMANDS $4,000 DAM
AGES FOR EACA OF SEVEN
eEAriN6s sHE RECEIVED.

Washing ton, Dec. S.-There is now
before the United States supreme
court a case in which wife seeks
TO know IL her husband has a right
TO beat her.
The wife is Jessie +, Thompson of
the District OF Columbia. She as
serts that her husband beat her so
severely seven different times that
she is entitled to $4,000 for the in
juries she received. Mrs. Thompson
sued her husband for damages TO
this amount, but the Judge said she
had no standing in court because it
was her husband who had admins
tered the beating. II it had been any
body else she would have had a right
to sue, but as it was her own husband
she had none.
Mrs. Thompson, however, wasn't to
be put off easily. II the lower courts
wouldn't give her what she deemed
Justice she would go to the highest
court in the land. And she did.
Mrs. Thompson may not succeed.
All such cases heretofore have been
thrown out of court, and there is no
statute on which she can base her
case. She could have had Mr.. Thomp-
son arrested, or she could have sued
him for a separation on the ground
of cruelty and the court would have
granted it and compelled him to pay
her an income; but a wife cannot
collect damage from her husband
that is, If the supreme court follows
precedent.
And it is not so long ago that it
was considered perfectly right and
proper for a husband to beat his wife
whenever he happened to think she
needed it, and in some countries
such is the case ven to this day.
1t is only recently that a wife has
ceased to be in the eyes of the law
chattel-that is to say, a personal
possession of her husband.
AS illustrating the way that mod
ern law favors a wife may be cited
a case that was tried recently before
Judge Garman at Wilkesbarre, Pa.
Mrs. Benjamin G. Benscoter object
ed because her husband compelled
her to live with his relatives. The
husband thought she ought to live
where he wanted her to, but the
court said no. A few decades ago
the husband, no matter how large his
income was only compelled to support
his wife as he thought She deserved
to be supported, and he was the sole
Judge of that.
And so, while precedent is lacking
to permit the United States supreme
court to decide that Mrs. Thompson
may recover damages for the beat
ings her husband is said to have CIV
en- her, that is the fine court That Is
not necessarily guided by precedent,
and it is possible that it may In It's
wisdom take another step forward
and declare that woman has
right to sue her husband for dam
ages.
