Teachers and Patrons Meeting.

In response to call issued by county
superintendent Long something over
sixty of the teachers of Decatur county
attended the convention held in the
High School room in this city last Sat-
urday, and enjoyed the excellent pro-
gram which was prepared for the occa-
sion. Besides the teachers the patrons
of the schools took decided interest
in the convention and at the afternoon
session seats could not be found in the
big assembly room to accommodate all
who attended. The program as pub
lished was carried out and proved to be
quite interesting as well as instructive
to teachers and patrons. The visiting
teachers were entertained in private
homes and everything possible done to
make their visit to Leon pleasant one.
The convention was decided success
and it is being planned to hold one once
a month in the various towns of the
comfy.

his nephew. He leaves one sister, be-
sides seven nephews and four neices to
mourn his death. A large congregation
gathered at 2 p. m. to sympathize with
the sorrowing ones and pay the last
tribute of respect to the memory Of
James Brammer. Some beautiful gospel
songs were sung Crock of Ages,
when My Lies Work is Ended and
Nearer My God to Thee. Rev. JAS.
A. Armstrong spoke from Rev., 21:4-
"And God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow nor CRYING,
neither shall there be any more pain,
for the former things are passed away.
Tho mortal remains were laid to rest
in the Young cemetery.

Albany Banker Suicides.

j. B. Thomas, cashier Of the Bank of
Albany, Of Albany, Mo-, committed sui
eide in a room at the Midland hotel in
Kansas City last Friday, and for a
couple of days Albany was considerably
excited as it was known that he had
suffered heavy financial losses in mining
stocks, and when he killed himself it
was feared he had used the funds of the
bank. The state bank examiner went
to Albany at once and made an examin-
alton, and it was found that everything
in the bank was correct, Mr.. Thomas
books exactly balancing and every cent
of money accounted for and the bank
was opened for business as usual on
Monday. Mr.. Thomas was prominent
politician and worker in Masonic
circles, and was highly respected, the
more so after his death when it was
found he had not touched cent of the
money entrusted to his care in the
bank.

Decatur County Honored.

At the annual joint conference of the
Iowa State Board of Health and
the Iowa Association of Health
Officers held in Des Moines Nov. 18th
and 18th, DR.. e. Warren Doolittle, of
Garden Grove, was elected president for
the ensuing year. DR.. Doolittle is one
of the oldest and best known practition-
ers in southern Iowa and his multitude
of friends over the state will be pleased
to hear of his election. This association
and it's joint meetings have grown in
Importance each year since it's organi-
zation and should be attended by every
health officer, mayor and township clerk
in the state, in order that they may
familiarze themselves with the best
means of preventing disease and pre-
serving the health of their respective
communities. The town of Garden
Grove has taken a deep interest in
health matters and for number of
years past has sent their health officers
to these annual meetings. The election
of DR.. Doolittle to the highest office in
the organization reflects honor, not only
upon him and his efficient work, but
likewise upon Garden Grove for the in
terest which they have manifested by
seeing that they were properly repre-
sented each year at the annual meeting.
This is an age of progress in all
branches and professions; fossilism is
giving away to activity, and nowhere
has progress been so great as in the
line of preventative medicine. The day
haspassed when town councils and town
ship trustees can treat lightly matters
pertaining to public health and shield
themselves under that old and thread
bare armor of economy. The intelligent
tax payers over this state are now de-
manding protection from disease the
same as they do from burglars, and will
expect their health officer to guard the
public health with as much vigilance as
they expect their night watch to
guard their property. Garden Grove
enjoys the unique distinction of being
the only town in Decatur county to
send a representative to health con-
ference

Things a Teacher Should Know.

DIR. Lesan, of Mt. Ayr, speaking to the
convention of health boards at Des
Moines, in advocacy of medical inspec-
ttion of schools, made a suggestion that
should commend itself to county school
superintendents. He would have
lectures before teachers institutes by
specialists on symptoms of infectious
diseases and those of eye, nose and
throat, diseases not readily recognized
and of a very dangerous class.
All physicians and most thinking
people will agree with him. 1t would
be very easy to secure fairly we'll
equipped specialists among the ply
sicians Of every county to speak plainly
and to the understanding of teachers
on the more apparent symptoms of
incipient disease. 1t need not become
4 clinic and teachers would not pre-
sumo or be expected to become ex-
would be particularly inattentive or
slow of comprehension who could not
carry away fixed in her mind much
that would be of extreme value. At
least she would take away with her a
knowledge of her responsibility and
acquire an added watchfulness.
The schools are natural clearing
houses for infectious diseases. They
need inspection by experts. They need
teachers with as much special knowl-
edge of hygiene and prevention of dis
eases as may be procured. Perhaps
the time will come when the ability to
recognize the symptoms of common and
dangerous diseases will be as necessary
to certifcation as is knowledge of the
fundamentals of arithemetic.
And while the doctors are educating
the teachers they might hold a few
mothers and fathers meetings, to in
struct somewhat as to the RESPONSE
bility of the parent and teach them how
to recognize whooping cough and
nslea

Thanksgiving Services at the A. c.
Church.

The president of the United States
has designated Thursday, November %,
as our annual thanksgiving day, and in
as much as the Governor of the state
of Iowa has issued proclamation re-
quosting "All people of the common
wealth to suspend work for that day, in
SO far as practicable, their accustomed
labors, and to meet in their houses of
worship and express their gratitude to
the ruler of all things for year over
running with divine favor" and in as
much as our sister churches of the city
have neglected to interview or invite
us to join them in the Thanksgiving
services, and as we desire to express
our gratitude to Our Heavenly Father
for all the benefits we have derived, we
will meet at p. IN. at the Adventist
Christian church. The Thanksgiving
Proclamation will he read by Mrs. A. e.
Hatch and sermon by Elder ]. J. Rup-
pert pastor. All are invited to attend
these services. Done by order of the
executive board this seventeenth day
of November, 1907. Mrs. A. E. Hatch,

Items of Interest Gathered During
the Week in the City of Leon
and Surrounding Country.
Holding Up the People.

The Burlington railroad has recently
inaugurated a hold-up game against
the travelling public on this branch.
Both Iowa and Missouri have two cent
passenger laws and the distance from
Leon to st. Joe is a fraction over 1O6
miles. They are entitled to charge for
107 miles and at two cents per mile the
fare would be $2.14, but the agent at
Leon refuses to sell passenger a
ticket from Leon to St. Joe for less than
$500. You can however buy ticket
from Leon to Albany for $1.20 and an
other ticket from Albany to ST. Joe for
$1.00 and in that way the trip will cost
1920 or 40 cents less than if you buy a
ticket straight through. Just where
they get their authority for this over
charge we do not know. The agent
says the new schedule furnished him
fixes the rate from Leon to St. Joe at
$500, and he has no authority to sell a
ticket at any other rate. They do not
make any extra charge for tickets sold
to any of the points this side of Albany,
as they are sold at straight two cents a
mile. 1t looks like it should be some
ones business to see that they do not
make any overcharges.

ference.

At the home of Elder ]. ]. Rupert,
pastor of the A. C. church of this city,
last Thursday at 4 p. M, occurred the
marriage Of Mr.. VIC. Ross, of Tennes-
see, to Miss Ida E. Massey, of Woodland
township, at p. M, the writer officiat-
ing. Miss Ida is one of the most popu-
lar and christian young ladies of Wood
land township, where she has grown up
from childhood, and is too well known
to need any introduction. Mr.. Ross is
a stranger in these parts but has been a
popular business man in his native
state and comes highly recommended as
a man of sterling worth.
These young people start out in life
with bright prospect before them and
their many friends wish them long
and pleasant journey.
On Friday they started for Des
Moines on their honeymoon and on their
return will make their home in Wood
land. May love, joy and peace pave
their pathway through life is the wish
of the writer. j. j. RUPPERT.

The Charlton Bank Failure.

The latest reports from the Charlton
bank failure are not encouraging. The
comptroller of the currency at WASH
ington has issued statement that
Cashier Crocker who committed suicide
not only used large part of the funds
of the bank in his speculations but also
made many false entries on the banks
books and committed systematic for
geries. Charlton is paralyzed by the
failure and it is claimed that Crockers
losses will be between million and a
half and two million dollars, making it
the biggest bank failure ever known in
the state. We heard one depositor in
the bank last Saturday offer to sell his
certificates for ten cents on the dollar.
and it is said the depositors will not
receive more than ten per cent of the
money they had in the bank.

MORTUARY.
Leander Powell

Leander Powell was born in Hamilton
Indiana, July 18th, 1914, and
died at his home in Leon, Iowa, Novem-
ber IA, 1907, at the age of 90 years. 4
months and days.
In 1855 he came with his parents to
Iowa and had been a resident of the
years his home was in Leon, where he
had formed large acquaintance. On
January n, 1880, he was united in mar
riage to Miss Laura Isabel Cook. -Four
children we're born to them, three of
whom, with the wife and mother, have
preceded him to the spirit world. Mr..
Powell was loyal soldier in the great
civil war. He enlisted on October %,
1861, in Co. G, 14th Iowa Volunteers,
and served four years.
In his early life he was a christian,
the son of the Rev. Joseph Powell, a
Methodist local preacher.
Since the sad death of his son Harry
his health has steadily declined. He
suffered much till the pain-racked body
found relief in death. There survive
him three sisters, two of whom Mrs.
McGee, of Wyoming, and Mrs. Galley,
OF Des Moines.-were present at the fu-
neral. Besides these, his son Frank,
the only living child, survives, to whom
there is extended the heartfelt sympa-
thy of the entire community.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence in east Leon, Friday at p. M,
conducted by the Rev. ]. l.. Boyd, of the
Methodist church, and was largely att
tended. The funeral was in the Leon
cemetery and was in charge Of the G..

been member,

than as the simple-minded, good
hearted Swedish lad. Mrs. Belcher as

is Mabel Belcher in the part of Cad

meeting at the college "Wednesday

the erection of the building for civil
and irrigation engineering at a cost
not to exceed S25,000.
Some special appropriations to the
college are tied up in the Stratton in
heritance tax case and the board au-
thorized its attorneys to bring suit in
conjunction with other educational in
stitutions of the state for the distri-
button of this money The following
was unanimously passed:
Recognizing the comprehensive
character of the farmers institute
work, which embraces instruction by
all the departments of the college and
is so ably conducted by Professor Cot
trell, this work in our opinion re-
quires special recognition and en-
couragement, as it takes the college
in its field work directly to the people, +"
Carrying out the purpose of this res
olution Professor Cottrell was made
superintendent of farmers institute
and extension work as a separate di-
vision of college work. He was form
erly connected with the agricultural
