IT IS A GRAND SUCCESS
Big Crowds are in Attendance and
Everybody is Having a Good
i'V
Weather is Fine.
For once the weather man seems to be
Satisfied with the rain sent to this
country last week, and has apparently
made up his mind to give us good
weather for the reunion this week, and
judging from the attendance yesterday
all records will bo broken in regard to
the attendance.
A visit to the grounds shows a beau
tiful sight, the committee having made
several improvements on the grounds
this year, and the heavy rains of last
•week washed all dust and trash from
the grounds so they are as clean and
hard as a rock. The speakers stand is
located a little farther north of where it
was last year, and is considerably larg
er. The camp ground is dotted with
white tents, filled with jolly campers
who are bent on having a grand good
time.
On Midway there are not quite as
many stands as last year, when there
were so many that they did not make
money, and those who have concessions
this year will certainly break to the
good. There are several paid attrac
tions on the grounds, a mechanical
wonder show, electric theatre, snake
show and gypsy camp, besides fakirs of
,*£•, all descriptions with little things to in
duce people to spend their money. No
gambling games of any kiud are allowed
on the grounds. A merry-go-round
ft/-" amuses the little people and some of
the big ones. There is plenty of amuse
inent for everybody.
Hoadley's Garden Grove band of 18
pieces resplendent in their new uni
forms are furnishing music each day.
On Friday there will be two bands, the
famous Corydon band of 24 pieces hav
ing been engaged for the 111th Alaska
celebration. A colored jubilee quartet
from Des Moines, the best colored sing
era ever in Leon, ate also assisting eaeh
day with good muaie.
Ball games are scheduled for each day
njrrauiuls totweensoiheof
the eating house conducted Dy^lie
ies of the Christian church who" are
serving fine meals, for 25 cents, which is
a grand accommodation to the public.
Yesterday was old settler's day, and
from early morning there was a steady
stream of teams coming to the grounds,
an enormous crowd being present. The
speaker of the day was Congressman
Walter I. Smith, of Council Bluffs, who
delivered a splendid oration which
greatly pleased the large audience who
gathered to hear the address. After his
address the old settlers put in the time
with numerous short speeches and re
newing acquaintance with friends from
various parts of the county.
To-day is Old Soldiers day, and their
principal speakers will be Rev. S. H.
Hedrick, who delivers his lecture on
"Shiloh" and Chaplain Jesse Cole, of
Marshalltown, will speak on "Four
Years to the Front." In the evening
there will be an old time camp fire,
stories, songs, etc. A full program of
the day is published elsewhere.
To-morrow, 111th Alaska day, will of
course be the big day of the reunion for
this organization of jolly fellows have
made elaborate preparations to furnish
fun and amusement, for the people who
will be their guests on this big day.
Governor Cummins and Mayor Brenton,
of Des Moines, will both be here with
out fail, and their addresses will be
worth coming to hear. Many people
have never heard a governor of Iowa
speak, and this will be a golden oppor
tunity to let the children see and hear
the governor. There will be something
doing all day long, including a grand
parade to the grounds at 1 o'clock, and
a magnificent display of fireworks in the
evening.
Break away from work and cares and
come to Loon and have a good time for
once in your life.

Decatur County Glrl ls Badly Hurt
While Attending State Fair.
MissAnga Sears, daughter of J. J.
Sears, who lives two miles north of
Decatur City,was painfully injured at (Trie
Rock Island Station at the state fair
grounds at Des Moines last Wednes
day, being caught in a jam by the crowd
at the gates, and badly crushed and
bruised, her shoulder being broken and
other painful injuries received. The
Des Moines Capital, speaking of the ac
cident, says:
"Miss Auga Sears, of Decatur City, is
lying at Mercy hospital in a serious
condition as the result of being caught
in a fearful jam at the Rock Island su
burban station at the state fair grounds.
The woman was trying to board the
train when she was caught in a rush of
the thousands attempting to do likewise
and borne with terrific force against the
iron gates at the station. Her breasts
were fearfully bruised and it is feared
she is injured internally. The woman
was brought to the city immediately and
taken to the offices of Superintendent
Smalley. So badly was she hurt that she
was still in a fainting condition when
laid on the table of the second floor of
the Rock Island station. The company
physician was called to attend her and
she was carried to Mercy hospital.
There she was found to be suffering
with bruises very similar to those that
caused the death of a woman in a Chica
go department store rush. Her breasts
had been bruised in a vital place. This
noon she was said to be resting easy,
though still suflering great pain. It has
not yet been ascertained whether her
internal injuries are exceedingly seri
ous or not. Miss Sears is 21 years of
age. She has many friends in the city
who are caring for her.

DISTRICT COURT DOINGS
Judge Parrish Convenes Court Mon
day bat there is Little Business
Being Done This Week.
Judge R.L.Parrish convened the regu
lar session of tho district court on Mon
day, having adjourned the opening for
one week on account of the state fair
and really court might nearly as well
have been adjourned for this week for
with the reunion going On there is not
much of a disposition among attorneys
or clients to attend court.
Tho c»urt officers are Judge R. L. Par
rish J. S. Parrish, court stenographer
S. W. Kehler, clerk R. D. Martin, sher
iff Fred Martin, deputy sheriff W. II.

grand jury baliff G. A. Wood, clerk of

The grand jury for the term was
drawn Monday afternoon with the fol
lowing members: J. F. McMorris, H.
F. Wasson, A. G. Craig, C. M. Akes,
Tom Boyce, George Ogilvie and Willis
Frost. The court appointed Mr. Was
son foreman.
The trial jury was originally sum
moned for today1, but have been notified
that they will not be required until
next Monday, and this leaves only a
week for the trial of any jury cases
so there will be few if any trials, by
jury.
There are no important criminal cases
ready for trial at this term of court, and
this makes the term alight one.
Tuesday was divorce day, and in tho
afternoon the court room was yell llllod
with ladies, most of'- whom were
witnesses. Judge Parrish granted de
crees to six mismated couples, in each
the party applying for the divorce losing
the wife. There are several other
divorce cases on tho docket which will
be heard during the term.
Judge Parrish finished all the busi
ness before him Tuesday evening, and
court stands adjourned until Friday,
except in case the grand jury get ready
to make a report. This body has sub
poenaed a large number of witnesses,
the most important case before them
being that of Enoch Burrell, of Davis
pity who is charged of manslaughter
for killing Frank Thompson by striking
him with his fist in a quarrel over a
poker game at Davis City.

GRAFTERS WORK CIRCUS.
They Find Suckers Are Plentiful
at Nevada.
Nevada, la., Aug, 27.—The outfit billing
themselves as the Great Paa-American
Circus and Menagerie, but which is said
to be the remnants of the old Lemen
Brothers' circus, which showed here the
25th, proved to be about the worst ag
gregation that has struck this section
for years. Possibly a score of the unsus
pecting kind who are always anxious to
spend their money to get on to some
other fellow's game, were relieved of
their surplus cash while visiting the
side shows during the day. These
amounts, lost on the three shells and a
little joker and various other games,
worked by the grafters were consider
ably augmented by various sums picked
from the pocket. The amounts ranged
all the way from a five spot to S90. A
young fanner named Lounsberry was up
against one of the grafts and had his
roll, amounting to $90, on display, when
one of the outfit made a grab and Mr.
Farmer had no more roll than a man who
has been financing a Des Moines ball
team. He made trouble at the head
quarters of the show and while the man
agement denied that the robbery was the
work of any of their people, he comprom
ised by giving up $C5. Afterwards
Lounsberry came down town and
consulted an attorney with the result
that a writ of attachment was issued
and placed in Sheriff's Boyd's hands.
Armed with this the officer and attorney
succeeded in convincing the manage
ment that the balance of the §90 had
better be settled and the matter^ was
dropped.

BURNS WINS MATCH
Alldredge is Defeated in a Wrestling
Match with Farmer Burns at
Des Moines Last Week.
The long talked of wrestling match
between "Farmer" Burns and James H.
Alldredge, the Leon wrestler, was pull
ed off at the Mirror theatre in Des
Moines last Thursday night before an
audience of 000 people, and Burns won
the match with ease, maintaining his
reputation as champion of the world,
although Alldredge gave him a hard tus
sle and lie had to exert every effort to
win the match. Alldredge secured one
fall from Burns however, and try as he
would Burns could not get away from
the liusky lad from Loon. The match
was three in five falls, catch-as-catch
can, two points down.
Alldredge seemed to be very popular
with the audience, and there were men
there from all parts of the state who
wanted to see him win. The match was
refereed by Otto Goepel, of Des Moines.
It was 11 o'clock when the men made
their appearance. Burns is rather an
awkward looking man with a slight
stoop to his shoulders, but has a wonder
ful pair of shoulders and a neck which
is developed as no other man has ever
developed the muscles.
The men did not waste any time but
got down to work at the very start,
Alldredge being on the defensive trying
to find out the tricks employed by
Burns, who is quick as a cat, it being
impossible apparently for Alldredge to
get behind him. Burns showed a dis
position to get down on the mat, and
after (U minutes of wrestling Referee
GoepeJ called Alldredge down, although
it was thought by many that he was a
little quick with his decision as All
dredge simply twisted from one
shoulder
to the other. The fall was secured with
an English bar and hammerlock.
In the second round Burns seemed to
play with Alldredge, breaking every
hold ho secured with, apparent ease and
then securing strong holds on him, but
Alldredge got away from several tight
places in a manner which won him ap
plause from the audience but finally
went down when Burns secured a half
Nelson double bar lock across the stom
ach and crotch hold, time 8 minutes.
After 0J minutes of terrific wrestling
both aen working very fast, Alldredge
secured an English cress bar lock, and
although Burns strained every nerve to
prevent going down Alldredge pressed
his shoulders down inch by inch until
finally both shoulders were flat on the
floor.
In the fourth round Alldredge came
after Burns with renewed confidence,
and several times almost secured a full
Nelson, but Burns was too quick and
each time got away. The fall was finally
won by Burns with an English bar and
double cross hammerlock, time min
utes, and Referee Goepel awarded the
match to Burns.
Throughout the match the audience
sympathized with Alldredge and fre
quently cheered him when he broke
away from Burns, and once in a while
some one would hiss Burns. The un
friendliness of the audience seemed to
anger Burns and after being awarded
the match he stepped to the front of the
stage and said: "You have been yelling
at and hissing me, but I tell you I can
throw any man in the country at my
weight. I am 43 years old, but will
wrestle anyone for any part of $2,500."
A man in the audience yelled "How
about McLeod?"
"You bring McLeod here and I'll
wrestle him for $2,500," replied Burns.
After the match Burns complimented
Alldredge quite highly, especially on
his fine wind, and said: "1 met a good
man. Alldredge is a fine young fellow
and lie puts up a clean and decent
match. I like the way he goes at it.
He has great strength, but so far as the
points of wrestling are concerned he has
many things to learn. He gave me one
of the hardest scraps I have ever had."
Alldredge also made the following
statement, acknowledging his defeat in
a manly manner: "Burns is a better
man than I am and yet I believe it will
not be long until I can down him. He
is quick and very strong. About the
time I thought I had hira I didn't have
him. He puts up a clean match and I
feel quite satisfied to be defeated by
such a worthy opponent."

VOL. XXIX. NO. 2
Populist State Convention.
The populist state convention was
held at Des Moines last week, and al
though the attendance was quite small
they adopted a platlorm and nominated
a full state ticket. D. C. Cowlcs, of De-'
catur county was a prominent factor at
the convention, and there was just as
much factional fight between the dele
gates as at a convention ot the old
parties.
Tho tiekot' nominated contains tho
name of Walter MCcully of Davis City,
for railroad comissioner, the full ticket
being as follows:
Governor—L. IT. Weller, Nashua.
Lieutenant Governor -S. M. Harvey,
Des Moines.
Judge of the Supremo court—J. A.
Lowonberg, Ottumwa.
Railroad Commissioner Walter Mc
Cully, Davis City.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
—Milo Brunce, Stuart.
The platform adopted is short and to
the point, as follows:
1 We endorse the Omaha platform of
1892.
2 We favor the adoption of the initia
tive and referendum in all elections of
state and national character.
3 We demand that the right to elect,
both as to what shall be the public
officials and what shall be the public
policy in government, shall be conserv- fr
ed of the people and that all form or
systems invasive of this right shall be
repealed.
4 Wo recommend that the foregoing
be made apart of the national platform
at the next national convention.
Was a Regular Waterspout
The heaviest rain ever known in this
part of Iowa fell last Wednesday night'
and continued a good share of the day
Thursday. From 0 o'clock Wednesday
evening until 6 o'clock Thursday morn
ing the government gauge kept by
Millard F. Stookey registered 6J inehes,
and on Thursday 1 inch. When it is re
membered that an inch of rain is an
awful rain, the extent of this rainfalf
can be imagined, and it is also well to
remember that a government guage will
npt register as much as a tub or bucket..
Thursday morning people found crocks,,
buckets and oven washtubs that wereW
empty the night before running over..
All the streams were out of bank, and
Grand River at Davis City was as high
as the great flood of 1885, which how
ever was caused by a long series of
rains.
All over southern Iowa the railroads
suffered severe washouts. Just south ot
the depot the Cainsvilleline had awash
out of 480 feet ol track, and another big
one down by Blockley. Between Leon
and Van Wert there were numerous
washouts, and the state lair excursion:
train which was due hero at 2 o'clock
Tlmrsday morning, got as tar as the
crossing on the cemetery road about 7
o'clock, the passengers being compelled
to walk to town from this point, as a
big culvert was washed out so that tho
train could not cross. No attempt was
made to run the excursion train back to
Des Moines, as the heavy rains had
practically broken up the state fair, and
passengers were leaving Des Moines on
every train. Thursday trains got down
from Des Moines as far as Van Wert,
but there were no trains west or south
on account ot the washouts, and the re
sult was that about 1,200 passengers.
were dumped off there and many of
them had a hard time getting anything
to eat. Teams were in great demand
and as high as $8.00 was paid for a team
and carriage to drive to Leon.
Thursday morning No. 15, one of tho
main line mail trains on the Q. camo
down through Leon, making an effort to
reach Council Bluffs by way of St. Joe,
and this was tho last train from Chari
ton until Saturday afternoon, as the
Chariton river between Derby and.
Chariton was several feet over the
tracks. Tho St. Joe trains were operat
ed between that city and Humeston.
The main line of the was washed out
all along the west part of the state. At
Woodburn two engines and seventeen
cars of meat went into a washout which
blocked the track for several days, and 'k
at Corning a train of 21 cars standing at I
the depot was washed bodily from tho
track and ditched.
County bridge superintendent Leeper
and his force of road men are finishing^
a big fill on the Leon and Decatur road i\
near the old Helsher place and the
water on Little River west fork played
havoc with it, cutting it out quite bad
Iy, but the boys say not as bad as thejr
expected. The county did not lose a
single bridge, but the approaches to
quite a number were damaged by water^
'"'My
'. Vk
It was the greatest fall of rain ever-
seen in this section of the county with-'^M^
in the same length of time, the water l\' T*
even drowning English sparrows
being picked up in a small space near
the light house. Cellars all over town
were flooded, and there was over a footSKfe^'"
of water in the electric light plant, so
that it was impossible to run the lights.^ A
