been no effect on the demand for
lower berths in Pullmans as a re-
suit of the reduction in the price

rules make it possible for a pas
senger to ride from Chicago to
the Pacific Coast for $500 less
than formerly.

TeWy'MoTpIM

BY w. G. Shepherd.

This is the second bird--maybe
the third-that Maude Adams has
played. The first was "L'Aigelon,
THE Eagle" And now We have
"Chantecler." AS for the third,
which is in doubt, that was Peter
PAN" Do you remember how Peter
tapped about the stage like a
bird?
The Knickerbocker theater was
jammed full on the opening night
to see Maude Adams in the title
role of Rostand's piece. She was
so small and dainty that the piece
didn't seem to be named right. 1t
should be called lie Petit Chan
tecler," or 1.-The Bantam" for
short. The latter name would be
doubly suitable, for Miss Adams
wears the feathers of a bird of
that type. She has to hop and
strut about the stage during the
entire evening, and whether she
can keep it up is question.
Guitry, the great French actor.
who played the part, was huge I'M
bulk and strong in muscle, butt
before he had played it q week he
insisted on giving up the strut
and walking like a man. He said
his muscles wouldn't stand the
strain, and that the audience
would have to take it for granted
that he was strutting like a roos-
ter.
The story of the play is too
well known to repeat it. The piece
wasn't a hit in France. But it
was so well advertised beforehand
that 1t had short, fast run. III
Frohman can make a longer run
of it here than Rostand did in
Paris. he will be wizard. The
chances are, however, that the
piece will go on the road to the
larger cities.

Leon Boys Star Foot Ball Players.

Two of the Leon boys who are at
tending college this year are star
members of the two best foot ball
teams in the state. Ralph McGinnis,
who is student at the State Univer-
sity at Iowa City, plays quarterback
and in the big game between Iowa
and Perdue at Lafayette, Indiana,
last Saturday, he made the only
touchdown scored during the game,
Iowa winning by score OF. II to 0.
The press reports mention the name
of McGinnis frequently as doing some
great work. Raymond Hurst, an
other Leon boy who is attending the
State Agricultural College at Ames,
is also playing star foot ball, and
plays quarterback for the Ames team.
Ames defeated Cornell Saturday at
Ames by a score of Is to 0. Up at
Ames they call him General Hurst,
for his great headwork in the games.
Next Saturday Drake and Ames will
meet for the game which will decide
the state championship, and it is a
peculiar coincidence that two Leon
boys will be pitted against each
other in this game, both playing
quarterback.

Capt. J. ID. Brown for Department
Commander G. A. r..

Capt. J.: D. Brown, of this city, is
receiving favorable notice from all
parts of the state in his candidacy
for the position of Commander
of the G: A. R. for Iowa. The Reg
lister and Leader of Wednesday morn
ing has the following:
Capt. John D. Brown of Leon, who
is candidate for the post of depart
ment commander of the G.. A. R. in
Iowa, to succeed Capt. Lot Abraham,
of Mount Pleasant, attended the ban
quet of the Loyal Legion in Des
Moines last night.
Captain Brown, who has repre-
|sented the Fifth district in the senate
during the last two general assem-
Eblies, will not be candidate for re-
election next year. Alternately, a
resident of each of the three counties
comprising the district, Decatur, Ring
gold and Union, is elected to the sen.
ate every four years. Next year a..
Union county man Is due TO I'LL the.
place. A candidate for the office al
ready is in the field in the person of
Charles Thomas, of Kent, a banker,
who will be elected without question.
according to Capt. Brown.
There is peculiar coincidence in
connection with the race of Captain
Brown for commander concerning
the present head of the Iowa depart
ment, Lot. Abraham, which was relat-
ed by Capt. Brown to circle of
friends at the state house yesterday.
During the "battle of the Big
Blue" in Missouri, Captain Brown
was wounded seriously and left on
the battlefield to die. Soon after
Captain Brown regained conscious
ness, Lot Abraham's company ad-
vanced oyer the very spot where
Brown lay wounded. Abraham left
the ranks long enough to make
Brown as comfortable as he could
and when he went on to join his
company left his canteen.
Capt. Brown lay on the field of
battle two days and nights and de-
clares he would have died had it not
been for the full canteen that Abra-
ham left. That is why Capt. Brown
would not become a candidate for
department commander last year
when he heard Abraham wanted the
honor.

Horses are Dying From Eating Corn
Fodder.

In various parts of Iowa the farm
ers are losing many horses from al
lowing them to eat too freely of corn
fodder. One farmer near AllertOn
lost five head of valuable horses one
day last week from this cause, and
quite a number of horses in Decatur
county have been sick and some
deaths have occurred. DR.. F. G.
Hume, the veterinary of Leon, says
the cause is from eating corn fodder,
and he has been treating number of
cases the past ten days. M. F.
Springer lost horse one day last
week and a neighbor also lost one.
DR.. Hume made an examination OF
one of the horses which died, and
found that the intestines were pack
ed solid with fodder, so that medi-
cine could not take effect Farmers
should be careful about allowing their
horses to run too freely in stalk fields,
for the disease is caused from eating
fodder standing in the fields, as no
cases have been heard of where
horses are fed corn which was cut up
being affected.

Teach it to the Children.

When your little, girl got her new
coat this fall what was done with the
old one which was fairly respectable
but which she had outgrown? When
your boy who shot up so this summer
found that last years OvercOat
wouldn't button over his expanded
chest and set you back for new one
what went with. the perfectly good
coat which was too small for him?
Did he have boy in mind who would
fit that coat and who was shivering
without it, some deserving boy who
lacked coat through no fault of his
own; and had the little girl noticed
some little child whose need suggest
ed further usefulness for the coat
her new one supplanted?
The easiest thing in the world Is to
call up some one whose business 1t ia
to care for the very poor and say you
have a boys overcoat and girls
coat. 1t is an excellent thing to do
if you couldn't do better, but it gives
the children an impersonal impress
sion of human needs and their own
opportunities to relieve them. The
better way is to encourage your girl
and boy to see need, to make personal
observation and quiet and helpful dis
tribution of their own gifts. It's
good habit to help along and splendid
aid to true character.
Most men are fairly willing to be
charitable. The helpful and human
instinct is in every heart. But few
men and women are actually observ-
ant of the struggles of other men
and women until the choice between
actual starvation and cold appeal for
public charity comes to the unfortun-
ate. There are always deserving
people who need little help. Few
Of them would refuse the oyercoat, or
the coat the boy and girl outgfew.
Why not let the new one suggest to
your children that it also affords
hem an opportunity toamako some
less fortunate child comfortable?
AS our children are taugh 80 shall
he world be when in few years they
are the world. II all actually believe
n the good Samaritanism we preach
about let's teach it to our children.

CossoN GOING AFTER RAFFLEs.
Calls Attention of Mayors and Others
to Laws Relating to Such
Things.

In an opinion made public Tues
day George COssOn, attorney general
announced a statewide war against
the candy rattle in campaign to be
carried on by every county attorney
and the mayors of the cities.
A candy rattle is real gambling.
Mr.. Cosson says, and requests the Of
ficers to indict every merchant who is
guilty of the offense, for such case
constitutes running gambling
house, Mr.. Cosson construes the law.
The following is from Mr.. Cosson's
letter that has been sent to officials
of every county.
my attention has recently been
directed to various slot machines and
candy raffles. The complaint is made
that so great has become this evil of
candy rafflles, that a merchant who
refuses to handle these gambling
schemes can not compete in business
with those who do. Formerly,
wholesale candy rattle boards con-
fined the prizes to candy, but the
evil has so multiplied and competi-
ton has become SO great that within
the past ten days I have received
complaints that diamond rings, sill
verware, clocks, gold watches and
other articles of jewelry, spurious as
we'll as genuine, are being disposed
of as prizes in connection with the
candy raffles. 1t is common knowledge
that the larger part of the money re-
ceived in disposing of these candy
raffles is from boys and girls, some
of them immature:
Il, therefore, suggest and request
that the several mayors and super
intendents of public safety direct
their chief of police officers to cause
all forms of gambling to be suppress
ed, including all schemes of raffles,
lotteries and all slot machines con-
tanning an element of chance, and if
the offenders continue the illegal
operations of these gambling enter
prises, that they be Immediately ar
rested under the city ordinances, and ]
that the county attorneys also cause
them to be indicted by the grand |
jury of their respective counties for !
operating gambling houses in VIOLA
tion of law, and that the parapher- !
MALTA be condemned, as by law pro-

The Punkin Huskers.

Devotes of the simple life will
find something to their liking in the
next theatrical offering at the opera
house Saturday night, Nov. 18th,
the Punkin Husker, rural comedy
in four acts. The scenes of this pas
toral gem are laid in Indiana, a fav-
orite spot with our modern play
wrights for the locale of pastoral
plays. The particular locality from
which the scenes of The Punkin
Husker is taken is one of the garden
spots of mother earth and attracts
thousands of summer tourists an
nually. Where nature has lavished
her bounties with such lavish hand
it can readily be seen the scenic,
artists task was comparatively
easy one, approaching, as it would
seem, labor of love. With it's:
wealth of special scenery; it's beau
tiful story of American home life,.
interpreted by a carefully selected
cast, The Punkin Husker promises to-
be a real theatrical treat. 4.&5

Was Elected Secretary.

Mr.. E. E. Bell, of the firm of Bell
& Robinson, the Rexall druggists of
Leon, attended the meeting of the
Iowa Rexall dealers held at Cedar
Rapids last week, and read a paper
on the stationery department of the
retail drug store, which was highly
commented on by the dealers in at
tendance at the convention and by
the daily papers of Cedar Rapids.
At the annual election of officers of
the association Mr.. Bell was elected
secretary and treasurer. There are
1876 Rexall drug stores in the state
of Iowa, and AZ applications waiting
to be passed on, as the Rexall goods
are only placed in first-class drug
stores. And Bell & Robinson have
one of the best of the Rexall stores
in the state of Iowa.
