The hope that Leon was to secure day
electric current has gone glimmering.
The Clarinda Poultry, Butter & Egg Co.,
tried to contract with the light company
to install day circuit and furnish
them power to run their machinery at
their new plant, and quite number of
other parties were figuring on using
electric motors, but the owners of the
plant, Curtis & Chase have decided not
to install the day circuit on account of
the expense of putting in new machin-
cry. The Clarinda Co. will install two
big boilers and an engine at their plant
to furlish power for the creamery and
other machinery.

Mrs. Susan Peck, of east Leon, met
with peculiar and very painful acct
dent at her home last Friday evening
which may yet result in the loss of the
sight of one Of her eyes. Mrs. Peck,
who is we'll along in years had opened
the door of a heating stove to stir the
fire and as she stopped down to pick up
a poker the door swung partially shut
and the corner of it struck her on the
nose and eye, inflicting very painful
injury, especially on the ball of the eye.
At first it was feared that the sight
was destroyed, but the physician now
has hopes that it can be saved. Mrs.
Peck's many friends deeply sympathize
with her in her misfortune.
