a sister.

John Anderson Rock.

John A. Rock, one of the Oldest resi-
dents of this city, died suddenly at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Jane Gard
ner, in south Leon Saturday morning.
Mr.. Rock was of a retiring disposition
and although he had resided in Leon
for many years, but few of our citizens
were acquainted with him, and it is
said that he had not been up town for
more than twenty years. He had been
in his usual good health and arose as
usual about six o'clock Saturday morn
ing and ate hearty breakfast. Soon
after breakfast he complained of pain
in his head and while his daughter was
preparing mustard plaster to relieve
the pain he went to his bed and laid
down, and when she reached him he had
passed away.
The deceased was born in Boutetort
county, Virginia, Dec. IS, 1926, being so
years and months of age. He was
united in marriage to Mary Eldredge, in
North Carolina, in 1916. They moved
from North Carolina to kentucky
in 1S48, and came to Iowa in 1858.
He was the father of seven children,
three being living, Mrs. Jane Gardner
and Mrs. Thomas Epperley, of Leon, and
John Rock, of Des Moines. His wife
died in 1890. The funeral was held
from the home of Mrs. Gardner Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by
Elder E. M. Romine, pastor of the Leon
Christian church, interment being in
the Manchester cemetery, south of Leon
by the side of his wife.

CITIES OF SECOND CLASS MUST
PAY,
Discovered That Two Words in
Code Make 1t Necessary to
Raise Appropriations in Ad-
vance to DO Business,

Fort Dodge, Ia, May 16.-A sweeping
change was discovered today in the
new code of Iowa affecting every city
of the second class in the state. In
brief, towns the size of Ft. Dodge must
make an appropriation at the beginning
of each fiscal year to cover all eXpendi-
lures during the twelve months follow
ing. While this may work hardships
on some cities the last legislature evil
IDENTIFY decided it was for the best.
The change was found by the inser-
tion of two little words in the code and
instead of waiting until July to become
a law goes into effect at once. The new
law says:
appropriations cities of the first
and second class, the council shall
make the appropriation for all the diff
ferent expenditures of the city govern
ment for each fiscal year at or before
the beginning thereof and it shall be
unlawful for it or any officer, agent or
employe of the city to issue any war
rant, enter into any contract, or APP
propriate any money in excess Of the
amount thus appropriated for the diff
ferent expenses of the city during the
year for which said appropriation shall
be made. Any such city shall not APP
propriate, in the aggregate an amount
in excess of it's annual legally author
lied revenue; but nothing herein shall
prevent such cities from anticipating
their revenues for the year for which
such appropriation is made, or from
bonding or refunding their outstanding
Indebtedness. The council of such cit
les shall advertise in at least two news
papers published in said cities for three
weeks, two insertions for each week,
for bids for furnishing all supplies of
every kind for the several departments
of the city, not required to be adver-
tised for by the board of public works;
said advertisements to be published
! two weeks before the beginning of
/ each fiscal year."

j. N. Dale to Wed.

The many friends of james M. Dale,
son of MIR. and Mrs. A. G. Dale, of this
city, will be interested in the announce
ment of his approaching wedding to
Miss Jessie Sibley, of Phoenix, Arizona,
in that city the latter part of June.
The bride elect is a California girl and
the event will be the elimination of a
pretty romance of their college days in
Des Moines. Mr.. Dale is one of the
brightest young men who ever left
Decatur county to make their future
Home among strangers. Reared on a
farm he was not satisfied with country
school education, but attended the
Leon High school, and then went to
college at Des Moines. He did not
waste his time. and improved every OPP
portunity. A few years ago he became
private secretary for c. II. Deere, the
millionaire plow manufacturer of Moline,
,sll.. and SO well did he fulfill his duties
that much of the management Of Mr..
Deere's affairs are now placed entirely
in his hands. Jimmy Dale's many frieuds
in this county will extend hearty con-
gratulations, for he deserves the best
good fortune that ever befell Decatur
county boy.

Death of Hubert Paul Hill.

Hubert Paul Hill, was born to Mr..
and Mrs. W. A. Hill April 18th, 1906,
and died May 6, 1907, at the family
home in Eden township at $3.50 p. m.,
being one year and nineteen days old.
He was the youngest child of six born
to this union.
This is the first time death has ever
visited this family and the little one
leaves father, mother, three brothers
and two sisters and two aged grand
mothers and numerous other relatives
to mourn his departure.
Little Paul had been sick for some
time, having suffered with lung fever
and a complication of diseases, but in
the last three weeks he had suffered
more than his frail little body could
stand and for several days his death
was hourly expected. All that fond
parents and kind friends could do was
done, but to no avail. The little one
had been called and he passed away.

Weather-Crop Bulletin
For week ending May 20, 1907

For week ending May 20, 1907
Des Moines, Iowa.
There was continuance of erratic
weather during the first half of the past
week, but on the whole there has
been an improvement in conditions in
all parts of the state. The average
daily deficiency in temperature was
three to six degrees, and the minimum
was near Or below freezing on three
mornings. The amount of precipitation
was very light except in portions of
the southeast and east central districts.
On the Nth light showers with oc-
casional snow flurries were reported at
numerous stations in the north and
central sections. The moisture was
beneficial and there was sufficient heat
to start termination of seed and per-
ceptible growth of vegetation.
The week was favorable for field work,
and reports indicate that from 80 to 80
per cent of the corn acreage has been
planted, under excellent conditions as
to the soil. Though the season is late
in respect to growth of crops, farm
operations are as we'll advanced as
usual at this time of the year. With
normal heat and moisture in the near
future there will be an ample yield of
staple farm crops.

A Cement Walk to Cemetery.

The cemetery association has been at
work the past week raising funds to
build cement walk to the Leon cem-
etery and our citizens have contributed
quite literally, and with the help Of
the city council the funds are in sight
to build AL feet, the contract for the
work being awarded to j. w. Honnold.
The new walk will commence at the
foot of the hill and extend to the cem-
etery gate, and next fall the walk will
be extended along the new grade across
the south side OF the cemetery, as the
fill has not settled enough yet to allow
the walk to be built. The new iron
fence adds greatly to the appearance of
the cemetery, and the cemetery associ-
alton is doing good work in beautifying
the resting place of the beloved depart
ed.
The following is list Of the contrib
utors to the cement walk fund, but it is
yet incomplete, as the committee have
not been able to see all Interested
parties. Every lot owner should be
willing to contribute to this commend
able work, and contributions can be
left at The Reporter office and will be
duly appreciated. If you have not
made contribution drop in at this
office and do so at once

TWenty-four Deaths in Mercer
County from Spinal Meningitis.

The dreaded and nearly always fatal
disease, spinal meningitis, is raging in
Mercer county, Missouri, just south Of
us, and twenty-four deaths have occurr-
ed in that county from this disease
within the past four months. 1t is
disease which seems to battle the skill
of the best physicians. Saturdays
Princeton Post says:
John Moore, sixteen years old, and
only son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. 7. Moore of
this city, died at the family residence
Wednesday evening of spinal menin-
gifts. Thus the dread disease claims
it's twenty fourth victim in Mercer
county within four months.
Being stout and hearty, John Moore's
death came rather sudden. His sick
ness dates from last Friday. On that
morning he arose as usual. After milk
ing his COW he took her to the pasture.
Upon returning home, he complained to;
his mother of a hurting in the back of
his head. A physician was called, and
it was pronounced only slight case Of
the grippe. He grew worse and on Sat
urday morning it was pronounced spinal
meningitis. From that time he has
been in very serious condition, and
he gradually grew weaker until the end.
John Moore was quite popular
young man in this city. Everybody
knew him and all were his friends.
He was of a jolly disposition and was
a prime favorite with his schoolmates.
His parents and one sister, Miss Grayce,
are left to mourn the loss of faithful
son and kind and loving brother.
They have the sympathy of the entire
community.
At the time of going to press no fun
eral arrangements have been made.
They are waiting for the arrival of rela-
tives from distance. 1t is thought,
however, that the service will be held
Friday afternoon. Interment will be at
| the Princeton cemetery
