the first of February, since which time

DEATH'SG GRIM HARVEST
Old and Young are Alike Gathered by
the Grim Spectre Who is no
RespeCtOr of Persons.
Katherine Mills.

Miss Katherine Mills, only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Mills, was born in
Leon, Iowa, Dec. ~, 1884, died at their
home in Des Moines, Iowa, Friday morn
ing, May, 3, 1907, age % years, months
and days.
She was the only daughter and sur
viving child of the family, son having
died about seventeen years ago at the
age of six years. The family has re-
sided in Des Moines for number of
years, hence her life was practically
spent there, yet through correspond
ence and occasional visits she was we'll
known to many of the residents of this
city. Her going was most sad. In the
morning of life with so much before her
and with much to live for, she was
stricken. Her sun has gone down
while it is yet day. Her sickness dates
from Jan. 3rd of this year. At first it
was not considered serious and until
recently there were hopes of her recov-
cry, but tuberculosis of the lungs de-
veloped and the young life passed away,
sne was favorite with many. In the
circle in which she moved she will be
greatly missed. Before her departure
she expressed hope in the future life,
'aNs Whiio oCSiiluS W remain with ner
loved ones said she was not afraid to
go. Her father and mother and her
maternal grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. R.
B. Smith, are the immediate relatives to
mourn her early departure. Besides
these other sorrowing relatives and
Immediate friends in attendance at the
funeral from distance were Mrs. Dora
Mills, of st. Paul, Mimi, Miss Qua Mar
tin and MIR. Meyer Lurie, of Des Moines,
Mrs. 0. P. Depew and daughter Audrey,
OF Clarinda, and Mrs. Ellis, of Columbus
Junction.
Her remains were brought to Leon
Monday, the funeral being held at 2:3O
O'clock in the NJ. E. church, conducted
by the pastor, Rev. J. L. Boyd, who used
as his text Isaiah $40 and read Psalm
LOB. A large concourse attended the
funeral services and followed her re-
mains to their final resting place in the
Leon cemetery. The floral offerings
We're beautiful and profuse. The ten
derest sympathy of many friends is ex-
tended to the bereaved parents and
friends in their great sorrow.

Who Knows Matte Bales?

City clerk Fred l.. Conrey has reeeiy-
ed letter from E. II. Phelps, assistant
adjutant general of the Nebraska Nation
al Guards, at Lincoln, Neb., making in
quiry about Matte Bales. In his letter
he says: SIN 1898, one William q. Bales,
enlisted as soldier in the End Nebraska
regiment, Spanish-American War, and
gave as reference, Matte Bales, Leon,
Iowa. This soldier has since died, and
there is a small sum of money which
can be paid to his heirs. Do you know
who this Matte Bales, is, what her re-
lation, and her present address?"
If any of the Reporter readers know
Matte Bales, they will confer favor
by reporting same with her present ad-
dress to The Reporter Office or Mr..

Glass Case Failed to Save Her
Life. i.

Taking sudden turn for the worse
just as the family began to hope she
would recover, Katherine Mills, the
young girl whose life it was tried to
save by encasing her head in glass
case died this morning at 4:30. 1t is
believed that the inclement weather
had something to do with her sudden
change for the worse. The girl had
only been sick since New Years having
contracted a hard cold and as a last
resort glass case was fitted over her
head from which a tube connected
with the outdoor air. Miss Mills was
% years old and was born in Leon,
where she will be taken for burial Mon
day morning. A short funeral service
will be held at the house, 1107 Walnut,

A Successful Meeting.

The series of revival meetings which
have been in progress at the Christian
church in this city closed Friday night,
with total of Al additions to the church.
The meetings were conducted by Elder
E. M. Romine, assisted by Elder s. D.
Harlan, of Woodburn, who had charge

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
Starts with Fifty-Seyen Members.
Have Rented Rooms and will all
Boost for Leon with a Vim.

The Leon Commercial Club has CON-
pleted the work Of organization and
starts off with a f1attering membership,
fifty-seven of the progressive citizens
of Leon having paid the membership fee
of $500 and pledged themselves to be-
come boosters for the good of Leon in
any and every way. The club has rented
suite of three rooms in G. M. Keller's
brick block on the east side of the
square and the committee is now
engaged in selecting furniture to fit
them up so there will be a cozy and
comfortable meeting place.
The first regular meeting of the organ
ization was held at the assembly rooms
of the library building last Friday even
ing and nearly every member was pres
ent. The constitution and bylaws were
adopted, committees appointed and
various contemplated enterprises were
discussed. Among others was propo-
sition to secure a mill which is now
located at st. Charles, Iowa, in which
VIM. Woodland owns an interest and he
offered through his attorney very
reasonable proposition, which was that
he would take stock in the mill at Leon
to the extent of his interest and all the
money necessary to be raised was to pay
off the claims of some other parties. A
committee consisting of Horace Far
quhar, ]. R. Bowsher and G. M. Axes
we're appointed to visit st. Charles and
inspect the mill and make report. If
their report is favorable, the club will
endeavor to interest an experienced
miller in the proposition, which would
be a welcome addition not only to Leon
but to the farmers of the surrounding
country. Several other prospective
enterprises were discussed and they
will be investigated in due time.
The following general committees were
appointed, and they will at once take
up several matters Of Importance to the
city:

AN EXCITING DAY.

Rarely, if ever before in the history
of Georgia, have such scenes of excite
ment been witnessed as have gathered
around the fight to pass the State pro-
hibitiou bill by the lower branch Of the
Legislature last Wednesday week.
Hundreds of men, women aud chill
dren thronged the galleries Of the
House and the halls of the capitol all
day. Women singing and waving
flags added to the excitement. The
women of several Atlanta churches pre-
pared lunches for the legislators and
served them in the capitol.
A we'll organiezed and we'll managed
fillibuster against the State prohibition
bill developed in the House of Repre-
sentatives Wednesday, and every effort
to put the bill on it's third reading and
passage met with failure.
The session, which had been continu-
Gus since 8 o'clock that morning, had
been drawn out until nearly 1890 that
night, when disturbances from the gall
leries caused Speaker Slaton to order
them cleared. This was done, and the
acrimonious debate continued on the
floor. A dispute between Representa-
tive Wright, of Floyd, and Representa-
tive Hall, Of Bibb, progressed to the
point where Mr.. Wright told Mr.. Hall,
You're liar" Instantly the space
between the two was crossed and blows
we're exchanged. Friends quickly in.
tervened, quiet was restored, and in
silence almost painful, Representative
Gambler urged that adjournment be
taken, which was done at 1888.
On Thursday. an agreement was made
to take vote on Tuesday.

KEEPING COOL.

With the hot season upon US our at
tention must be given to matters of
dress and food, if we are to protect or--
selves from the heat. In large meas
ure the human body automatically
protects itself in both hot and cold
weather, but with proper care, we can
aid nature as much in summer as we
do in wiDter. On the subject of eat
ing, the New York Herald offers the
following advice:
LET us understand in the first place
that we do not need much fuel for our
internal furnaces with an outside tenn
perature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but
only enough energy to keep US going at
very moderate pace. Plain and cool !.
ing viands answer both purposes. Meats
once a day should be sufficient for or
binary ueeds; while fish, milk. eggs
cereals and fresh fruits should consti-
tute the main diet.
LAS to drinks, we are not apt to be
kept within bounds. With rapid evan.
oraticn of fluids thirst keeps apace. and
the equilibrium must be maintained
But this can be done safely by plain
water, and in plenty, which is natures
only real need. While soft drinks and
malt liquors may be taken on special
occasions, alcohol in any Of it's forms
is not only useless for cooling purposes,
but ls generally positively harmful, as
tipplers are the ones most liable to sun
strokes. Think OF this, good friend; if
you say whisky warns you in winter
what must it do for you in summer"
In Marietta very little alcoholic
drinks are used, and the PEOPLE are en-
ioying good health and manage to keep
cool. 1t is the Georgia legislature that
keeps hot"
