A small item in last weeks REPORTER
stating that the McClelland Cigar Co.
bad moved into the back room over w.
P. Clark & Co.'s store might be mis-
understood. They did move into the
back room but will also retain the front
room, occupying the entire second story
of the building, This was made neces.
sary by their rapidly increasing BUSH
ness They now have seven cigar
makers at work in addition to num-
| Der of boys, and expect to double this
force as quick as additional workmen
can be secured. They expect to put
several new brands of cigars on the
market in addition to those they are
! now manufacturing.
Glen Vaughn, who has become reg
uiar visitor in the mayors court, in COM
pany with A. T. Salisbury, was arrested
Saturday by Marshal Chandler for in
toxication. On being taken before
1 Mayor. Woodland they plead not guilty
but he found them guilty and gave
them the limit, 80 days in Jail. He
offered to reduce the sentence if they
would tell where they got their whlskey.
They gave the name of one of our drug
gists and while the marshal went out to
interview the druggist the prisoners
made hot foot, and were last heard of
in LineviIle, headed for Missouri. 1t is
| unnecessary to say that they did not
purchase the whisksy from the druggist
but from one Of the numerous bootleg
gers who infest Leon.

NEW RECORD FOR ELECTRIC CAR.
Speed of 125 as Miles Reached On Ger
man Line

A dispatch from Berlin, dated October
6, says: IAN electric car on the Mari
enfelde-Zoszen experimental line reached
a speed Of 125 40 miles per hour today
or a kilometer more than the highest pre-
vious record The machinery and roac-
bed were unimpaired. The engineers are
determined to try for still higher speeds
and venture the opinion that they will be
able to attain the rate of 14O miles per
hour The current was between Is, 900
and 1000 volts, capable of driving the
car at the rate of over 200 miles This
power is reduced by transformers to
about $50 volts. The car used today had
four motors having together about 100
horsepower. 1t was the car used in the
previous tests this year and is construct
ed on the Semens-H alske system. An
other car Of somewhat different equip
ment as to motors and transformers has
been built for additional high speed
tests.
The lives of all on board the expert
ment car were heavily insured.

1t is not the intention OF the school

therefore the community has not only
the burden Of taxation but also the
right TO demand that all children attend
school. Parents. guardians. and em-
ployers OF children are therefore expec-
ted to comply with the law cheerfully;
school directors are admouished to see
that the Law is carried out in their dis
tricts and the assistance Of all good citi-
zens is desired.
Teachers are hereby directed to re-
quire written excuses from the parent
or guardian in case a child is tardy. sb-

any known case where q child subject
