San Marcos, Old Texas,
Stricken From Roster

Formal notice was given to the naval
service today that "the U. 9. s. San
Marcos is hereby stricken from the
navy list
This simple notice Is the obituary OF
the old battleship Texas. the Jonah
ship of the United States navy, that lies
twisted hulk on the bottom Of Tangier
sound, off the Virginia Capes.
The Texas, after an eventful career.
in which she was given the title of
JONAH" was used as a target by the
battleship fleet in the spring and sum-
mer months, to test not only the mark
manship of the American gunners, but
also to show the effect Of modern gun
fire on a battleship. The first round
riddled the Texas so badly that she
sank. She was raised again. and in the
summer the dreadnaught Delaware fired
upon her at long range, and the old
vessel was blown literally to pieces and
left to rust and rot away in Tangier
sound.
The Texas was built at the Norfolk
navy yard about fifteen years ago. She
was the first Of the new line of zattle-
ships, and was for years the pride of
the navy.

Getting the Flies.


Last week Charlie Coen, of Stew
arts furniture store, put out a new
kind OF fly trap in front of their
store. 1t was just square frame,
covered with screen wire, with a cone
shaped bottom, but it soon attracted
great attention, for it did not take
long to catch several thousand OF
flies. Then somebody down the street
made one, and big crowd gathered
around it watching the flies swarm
into it. And then the idea took hold
and nearly every store in Leon made
a fly trap and the fly population is
being decreased by a million or two
every day. It's great idea and
beats sticky paper, fly poison and
other traps all to pieces.

Held Special Term of Coult.

& Judge Maxwell and reporter Hy-
land came to Leon Monday noon and
q special term of court was held that
afternoon, in order to secure an order
for the guardian of John Moorhead
to make his final report and turn Mr..
Moorhead's property back to him,
the supreme court having reversed
the holding of Judge II. K. Evans
that a permanent guardian should
be appointed to care for his property.
This case will be remembered, action
having been commenced by Mr..
Moorhead's daughters to have a
guardian appointed for him, alleging
that he was dissipating his property
and was not in fit mental condition
to care for same. The court also
ordered the costs in the proceedings,
amounting to about $500, to be taxed
up to the plaintiffs, Mrs. Belle Nc
Guire, Mrs. Kate Ridgeway and Miss
Florence MoOrhead.

w. A. BROWN MAKES GOOD.

the Interstate.

The Industrial Review, health and
accident insurance paper of Philadel-
phia, prints a picture of w. A. Brown
formerly of Leon, and declares him
the best business getter in the field
for the Interstate. Many who knew
Mr.. Brown here will be pleased to
hear of his success and will read the
item with interest, which is as fol-
lows:
wv. A. Brown, of Lincoln, Neb.,
has not been an insurance worker for
a very long time. He is a splendid
example of the success that can be
gained in the accident and health
field by men Of energy who wish to
better their condition. Up to two
years ago Mr.. Brown was manager OF
hotel in an Iowa town of about
1000 population. At that time he
became associated with the Inter
State,' and was given some territory
in Iowa, which he handled so capably
that he was later given the Nebraska
territory. Mr.. Brown has thus far
captured all the prizes and premiums
Offered by the association for high
production. His pace is strong
one. and he doesn't seem to be losing
any Hesh over it either"

BALLOONS WERE SEEN
Several of the Balloons Which Start,
ed from Kansas City on Monday
Passed Over this Couaty.

There was considerable excitement
among the early risers in Leon Tues
day morning, when two large bal
looms were seen several miles east of
this city a few minutes after six
O'Clock, The balloons were appar-
emily travelling south but ia "a few
minutes current of air caught them
and Carried them east. Many who
heard OF the balloons being seen were
inclined to scoff at the reports, but
later complete verifcatinn was made
when it was learned that on Monday
evening seven big balloons started
from Kansas City under the auspices
of the National Aero Club. Parties
in Leon and east of Leon say they
saw a couple of balloons pass over
Leon going north about midnight
Monday night. Two balloons passed
over Humeston at s.: "a. M, Tues
day morning, travelling south, and
We're SO low that occupants lof the
balloons spoke to people in Humeston
and asked what town 1T was. The
balloons evidently passed over. this
part of the country during the night,
travelling north, and then nwere' caught
by a current and drifted to the south
again over the same course. The
parties who saw the balloons here
Tuesday morning say there were two
of them not very far apart. Out
soIt of High Point three bal
looms could be seen- One >of them
was quite how and at the home of
Beattie Cunningham, seven miles
southeast OF High Point, one of them
passed between his house and barn
and was down very low. One of the
balloons landed at Goal City, small
mining town near Genterville. An
other landed at Fremont near Oska-
loosa, wh;iRe others passed over Ft.

Dental College, and taken the state
examination before the dental boards
of the states of Kansas and Missouri.
