YOUNG MAN EXONERATTD.
Federal Grand Jury Ignores Charge
Against Robert Axes of Leon.

A young man by the name of Rob-
ert Axes, son of Chas. Axes, a promi-
nent horse buyer of Leon, Iowa, was
exonerated today in United States
district court here of the charge of
bootlegging which had been brought
against him by man by the name of
Ed Johnson, also resident of Leon,
the grand jury ignoring the charge
grand jury considered the evidence
against the young man wholly insult
fcient to warrant an indictment, and
the opinion about the federal court
building was apparently that Axes
was the victim Of piece of spite
work
1t is stated that the young man Sc
cured some liquor for Johnson at
Leon some time ago, the latter claim
ing that he was ill and needed the in
toxicant as medicine. That later
ill-feeling arose between the two men
and that Johnson proceeded to get
even by having young Axes prosecut-
ed for bootlegging.
Johnson came to Creston Tuesday
to appear for the government before
the federal grand jury, but before
noon he had "tanked up" SO COM
pletely that he was unable to- navi-
gate, and tumbled into the hands of
the city authorities with the result
that when wanted in court he was
still in the lookup.
People who know young Axes say
that he is a respected young man of
Leon, and they seem to think that the
charge against him was wholly un-
warranted. Advertiser

Hollister-Spargur.

A home wedding took place at the
home of ]. w. spargur, of near
Pleasanton, Iowa, March 28th. 1t
was my privilege to speak the words
that united Mr.. Frank Hollister and
Miss Mae w. Spargur in the holy
bonds of matrimony, two hearts now
beat as one. The wedding march
was played by Miss Jewell Drury as
the couple marched into the parlor.
and the words were spoken in the
presence of number of guests.
They then led into the dining room
where a fine dinner was spread.
The bride was dressed in white
voile and lace, which was very be-
coming to her. The bride is the old
est daughter of J. w. Spargur and
was raised near Pleasanton and has
a large circle of friends and is a high
ly respected young lady.
The groom is the youngest child OF
Mr.. and Mrs. E. c. HOllister, OF
PleasantOn, and is an industrious
and highly spoken of by all who
know him.
This happy couple will make their
home on farm near Pleasanton.
Their many friends join in extend
ing congratulations and best wishes
for their future happiness and pros
perity. J. E. Drury.

The Woodchuck Story.

To illustrate the position of one OF
the great national parties during q
.campaignsnoted for its fiery partisan
ship, Mr.. Depew tells this story OF
the youthful politician and the wood
chuck:
''The tutor in one of the smaller
schools near my native town of
Peekskill had drilled a number of his
brightest scholars in the history of
contemporary politics, and to test
both their faith and their knowledge
he called upon three of them one day
and demanded a declaration of per-
sonal political principles:
= You are a republican, Tom, are
you not?'
And, Bill, you are prohibitions
list, ! believer
am, sir
And, Jim, you are democrat?'
Yes, sir
Well, now, the one of you that
can give me the best reason why he
belongs to his party can have this
woodchuck which caught on my
way to school this morning.
I am republican, said the first
boy, because the republican party
saved the country in the war and
abolished slavery
And, Bill, why are you prohi-
bitionist?'
I'm a prohibitionist,' ratified off
the youth, because rum is the cOun-
try's greatest enemy and the cause
of our overcrowded prisons and poor
houses
Excellent reasons, Bill, remark
ed the tutor encouragingly. Now,
why are you democrat, Jim?'
Well, SIR was the slow reply,
Il am a democrat because want that
wOOdchuck.'
"And he got it, too" added Mr..
Depew

MRS. SMITH APPOINTED
Democratic Protests Against the
appointment of Republican as
Postmaster of no Avail.

The postoffice appointment in

line Young Smith has again received
the appointment, as will be seen by
the following dispatch from Wash.
ington, published in the daily papers
last Friday.
Washington, D. c., March 26-De-
spite bitter protests from the great
body of democrats of Leon, the presi-
dent, on recommendation of Post
master General Burleson, today re.
appointed as recess appointee Mrs
Caroline Young Smith as postmaster
of Leon. Her appointment was urg-
ed by the state democratic organiza-
tion, chiefly by Marshal Reed and
State Chairman Reynolds. Protests
of strong sort we're made against
her, alleging she was republican
and nonresident
The editor of The Reporter and
the democrats of Leon made strong
hight against her appointment, but
to no avail, the rotten state organiza-
tion which is controlled by Nick
Reed, being determined to put the
Leon deal through and they succeed
eG. Nick Reed was kicked off the
state committee by the democrats of
his own district, but managed to
control the state organization who
elected him chairman, and when he
secured his own appointment as u.
S. marshal he put in week-kneed
man whom he could control, DR.. j..
w. Reynolds, of Creston, as chair
man, and Reynolds has been like
putty in his hands, being compelled
to do what his master, Nick Reed,
dictated. He has been chairman in
name only, Reed continuing to be the
real chairman.
AS to Mrs. Smith we have no COM
plant to make as to her qualifica-
tions, and we trust she will so con-
duct the affairs of the Office as to
give the patrons of the Office good
service. She expects to take charge
of the Office within a few days and
