Ignace Hainer, the aged Hungarian exile who lived about two miles east of Davis City, dropped dead in the road about a mile east ot Davis City about noon Monday. He was on his way to town to do some marketing. His funeral was held at Davis City yester day afternoon at 3 o'clock. We hope to have an obituary for next week. Forrest Bowsher has reason to be proud of the result of the city election. He ran for recorder against an old and highly ^respected citizen, who has held the office for several years, while For who has only lived rest is a young man here for a couple of years. He le inently qualified to fill the office credit to tihnself and the voters elected him. For tbe first time in the history of Leon the republicans have placed in the field a straight republican city ticket. Although a majority of the voters of tbe town belong to that organ ization they have never injected partisanship Into our local contests, and it is a fact beyond dispute that the outcome of/.those contests have not always been satisfactory. A large number of our citizens are confirmed in the .belief that public interests are always best concerned where party lines are drawn, and tfee wen chosen to conduct the affairs of our eityare made responsible to some party or ganization for the character of their adminis- Hence the appearance of a republi jt composed of men who will give our city a clean, honest and economical manage ment of laeo.1 affairs.—Leon Journal. The above in last week's Journal caus ed many of the voters of Leon to smile. It starts out with a barefaced falsehood, for it is a matter of record that the same little gang headed by the editor of the Journal placed a straight repub lican city ticket in the field two years ago, end it met with the same fate as the straight republican ticket this year. In both elections tbe candidates on tbe straight republican ticket were good men. and the fight was made not upon tbe candidates but upon the little clique of would-be bosses who think no man has a right to hold office unless he be a republican. But fortunately for the welfare of our city government a good majority of the voters and taxpayers are not of the same opinion. The elec tion last Monday demonstrates very plainly that the effort of this little ring of politicians will never result otherwise than in their defeat. The millinery emporium of Mrs. Lucy D. Ray. on the north side of the square was indeed a beautiful place laBt Friday and Saturday. Her magnificent store room was tastily- decorated with palms, ferns and flowers, which added to the manv bright flowers and colors display ed in the new style millinery. Especial ly in this line were the new pastel shades shown to advantage.* Tbe large display window was a perfect bower of beauty and the hundreds of ladies who called were amazed at tbe magnificent display of spring millinery, embracing as it did the very latest styles and shapes. Mrs. Kay was ably assisted during tbe opening by Misses Hattie Briner, May Durell, Bessie Cowden, Lou Harris, Vivian Allen and Mesdames J. A. Harris and J. D. Bruce. The sales during the two days were very flattering as in addition to the many Leon cus tomers hats were shipped to Ft. Madi son, KansUCity, St. Joe, Des Moines, Osceola, Garden (irove and Davis City. Mrs. Bay's souvenirs were roses and carnations. It was one of the moat satisfactory openings Mrs. Hay has ever Kuss' Bleaching Blue at Caster's.

The High Point postofiice which is located in Miller & Macey's general store waB burglarized last Wednesday night. The burglars secured about f20 in money belonging to the post oflic and also took a quantity of shoes and dry goods from the store amount ing to $50 or $75. The Allerton blood hounds were sent for but after following tbe trail for about a half mile the dogs lost the scent and it is supposed the burglars got on their horses at this point. The job was evidently done by local talent, as tbe office has been rob bed several times during the last few years. Albert Biddison's line carriage team indulged in a lively runaway Tuesday evening. They were being diiven north through tbe alley back of the New Hamilton hotel by Fred Misner, and in passing the hotel the hay rack on the wagon to which they were hitched caught on one of the posts and this scared the team and they started to run. Misner was thrown off and run over but escaped with a few bruises. The team ran east on Commercial street to Idaho where they turned north and demolished Priest's scales. At the north-east corner of tbe square they turned west andkin front of Harris' marble works one o£ the horses got up on the high Siaewaflt and they left part of the wagon. At tbe north-west corner of tbe square they would have crashed into the new Biggs' block bad not a man turned tbem off. When they reached Mr. Biddison's residence they ran into the feince at the south-east corner and tore down several panels getting to the barn, Tbe team was not injured, but Mr. Biddison will sell them as they are not safe for a carriage team. The millinery opening at Thompson & Warner's store last Friday and Saturday was the biggest kind of a Success, the big store room being crowded with lad ies on both days. The display of pat tern hats was most elaborate and show ed tbe care exercised in selecting the stock. And they did not remain un sold very long lor the many customers who called kept the large force of extra salesladies busy from morning until night. Their display window was a mass of roses and other beautiful flow' era, the background containing the name of the firm workeu out in roseB. The two days sales were far in excess of what was anticipated and the trimmers were forced to work way into the night in order to keep.tbe stosk from being exhausted. Many out of town custom ers attended tbe opening and took pretty hats home with them. The firm presented each caller with a carnation and the hundreds which they gave away made the town look like a hot house.
