STOCK MARKET FEATURED
BY THE RISE In METALS

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-Features OF
the stock market during the past
week were the strength OF the con-
pers. the relative heaviness OF the

steady improvement. Sales Of copper

years. were ~unoficially announced.
and the declaration OF n dividend
double that OF a year ago by one OF
the most conservative producers lead
TO the belief that other copper COM
ranies may be able TO increase their
disbursements ere long.
Respecting the backwardness of the
rallers. the reason most popularity &C.
copied was the pending Panama canal
legislation. Color was given TO this
reasoning from the TACT that all I'm

Cities n Transcontinentals seemed
under great pressure. Causes quito
apart from national legislation were
advanced in explanation OF the weal,-

which several times in the week were
offered in such quantities as to sue-

PRIMARY is ON JUNE 3.
Not on Tuesday, June 4, as Law Was
Amended Last Year.

Although it has been presumed
that the general public was aware
that the date of the state vide prf
mary had been changed BY he la4t
general assembly, even ca1d1dateS
for county Offices have been mistaken
as to when the primary wouR be
held. It will be held Monday, June
3, and not Tuesday, June 4, as many
suppose.
The Tuesday after tho first Non
day of June was the date aet for tho
primary in the state primary law as
published in the 1907 supplement to
the CODE Last winter the Thirty
fourth general assembly amended
this law, section 1087-A 81 the
supplement of the code, by striking
out the words first Tuesday after
the" AS amended the law reads
"the first Monday of june" The law
was also amended to 50 into eject
this year. The amendment was made
to accommodate the travelling men Of
the state. A number Of the eandi
dates have made the mistake and
have had June az the date Of the
primary printed on their cards.

Gardner-Sanger.

On last Wednesday afternoon at
1870 o'clock occurred the marriage
of Mr.. Lester Gardner and Miss Leila
Sanger, both of this city. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. J. s.
Coffin, pastor of the Christian church
at his home on Church street.
Mr.. Gardner is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Gardner, OF Leon. He is
a splendid young man, being char
acterized by good habits and indus
try. Miss Sanger is the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w. Sanger, who
live just a short distance northeast
OF Leon. She is a charming and ac-
complished young lady and will make
for her husband a worthy and fitting
companion. Both of these young
people are not only we'll known here,
but are favorites among the young
people. The wedding came as some
what of surprise as they HAD kept
the secret we'll guarded. They left
on the afternoon train for Shenan-
doah, where the bride has a sister,
and where they will visit for some
time. Their many friends here wish
them a long and prosperous lHe. E

account of the big Iowa picnic at
Eastlake park on Feb. 22nd, there
being $4,000 former lowans in at

where the people from that county

been ninety registrations from Deca-
tur county alone. Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
ion F. Stookey and Mr.. J. A. Caster,

ideal, no one needing wrap, while
the trees and foliage were sreen.

A New Business HnteHD1lse.

The Leon Cement and Brick Co.,
which have been doing an extensive
business in cement and brick work
for several years, have added another
line to their work, and will nanufac-
ture cement stave silOs in this city,
having purchased complete ottd
of machinery for this purpose W1ich
is now on the way to Leon, and the
work of manufacturing cenlent sil0s
will be commenced at once. They
have already booked orders for about
a dozen of the new sil0s from pro
gressive farmers In this vicinity, and
expect to do a big business n thte
line. The silo they woll nanu1actufe
is the latest and most inpToved
style, which will last forever, and
will not rot like wood. They are
manufactured in such manner as
to overcome all expansion and con-
traction caused by the weather, and
as soon as the weather noderates a
sample silo will be erected at their
factory on Commercial street just
east of Aeale's new garage. The COM
pany will erect new factory build
ing on their lots the coming season
of cement bricks, which will conform
in appearance to the fine garage
building on the west. A. M. Caster
and other local parties are interested
in the company and Mr.. Caster will
be pleased to give full information
to any who are interested in silos.
which are the coming method Of
