Or. Andrews Denounces Distortion of
Acts of Public Men.

Washington.-President E. Benja.
min Andrews, of the University of
Nebraska, in addressing the fall con-
vocation of George Washington uni
versity here Wednesday, bitterly de-
nounced what he termed malicious
and willful misrepresentation of the
acts of public or prominent men by
the press. Hanging, he said, should
be the punishment meted out to a
proved libeler. None of the busi-
ness villainies alleged to be so rife, "
he continued, can compare in atroci-
ty with these squalid campaigns of
libel and libelous caricature which re-
cent months have produced"

LIMERICK RADNICs HEARD FROM
A Davis City Boy VINO Mysteriously
Disappeared Writes Home.

A letter was received here Monday
by S. Radnich from his son, Limerick,
who left here about seven years ago
rather peculiarly, and until this letter
came had not been heard from by any
of his folks here. He is now in Danville,
Ills, and in his letter says he is getting
along all right and expects to come back
here on visit shortly. Seven years ago
this coming May, Emerick Radnich was
the assessor of Burrell township and
was farming the place where now re-
sides his brother, Anthony.
The day he left he hitched up his team
and told his wife that he was going to
Leon to collect his pay for doing the as
sessing, and by neither word or action
gave her cause to think anything but
that he would then return home. Upon
his not returning home that night she of
course became alarmed and on investiga-
tion it was found that he had collected
the sum due him and that his team was
quartered in a feed stable there in town,
but the most diligent search failed to
reveal trace of his whereabouts.
After the lapse of several months with
no word received from him his mother
abandoned all hopes and for several
years has mourncd him as dead, but his
father has all along insisted that in time
he would turn up safe and sound.
One thing certain; while the old
gentleman may not kill the fatted calf
on Emerick's S return, it is safe to assume
that he will receive warm welcome

Have Struck Coal.

West & Son, who for several weeks
have been drilling for coal on the Sharp
farm just west of Leon, struck twenty
two inch vein of coal last Saturday
morning and cored it, the vein being
found at depth of 406 feet. This vein
corresponds with the other veins found
in the deep we'll hole and when w. A.
Allbaugh drilled for coal several years
ago on his land southeast of Leon. The
coal is of fine quality, and Mr.. West is
confident that a vein considerably
thicker will be found within the next
hundred feet. They are now drilling in
shale with every indication of striking
a heavy vein of good coal. The parties
who are interested directly in the
drilling are feeling pretty good over
the prospects for finding coal in abun-
dance. Should this be done it would
mean great deal for Leon and in fact
all Decatur county.

Cooks Heaven.

The great and small, the good and bad,
All gathered in one fold,
With golden crows upon their heads,
Most glorious to behold.
The men who cut their mothers threats,
And on the scaffold died,
With hearts and souls still black as night,
In gorgeous chariots ride.
Upon throne, all robed in white,
The monster Nero sits,
While Robespierre with cruel leer,
Around the palace fits.
Likewise old Ferdinand, of Spain,
Of inquisition fame,
Smiles blandly at the folks he burned,
Without a sense of shame.
Also Ivan the terrible,
With bloody knife in hand,
Makes faces at the gentle folks,
He killed with his own hand.
Japs, Jew and Greek, British and Turk
And man from Zulu land,
The man who beats his helpers wife,
And all of Quantrell's band.
Thief, thug and Alabama brute,
Who died in scorching flames,
Good people too, of every faith,
From Pope to Apostle James.
All join in one triumphant shout,
While endless ages roll,
The Devil did his level best,
But did not get a soul.

0sceola- Wants Carnegie Library

Osceola wants new Carnegie
Library building and the chances are
that it will be secured. A few weeks
ago the Osceola Democrat printed a
half tone cut of the fine new library
recently dedicated in Leon; and it has
aroused the citizens of Osceola. The
Village Improvement Society has taken
the matter up and asked Mr. Carnegie to
supply the funds for building the new
library building, and last week they re-
ceived letter from his private sec
retary saying that if Osceola had no
public library building and desired Mr..
Carnegie's assistance in obtaining one,
if the tax payers would have the proper
authorities address him on the subject
stating what they were willing to do in
the matter it would receive his prompt
attention. The Osceola people are now
at work skirmishing to raise funds to
procure site and if they succeed the
taxpayers will no doubt vote the neces-
sary library tax to support the institu-
tion.
