MAY SECURE A MILL
Commercial Club is Negotiating for
the Establishment of an Up-to-
Date FIGURING Mill in Leon.

There is possibility for Leon to Sc
cure much needed enterprise. an up
to-date Touring mill and it is to be
hoped that the new industry can be
landed. The first of the week The
Reporter editor received letter from
Mr.. A. c. Hoot, of Maquoeta, Iowa, a
miller of twenty-five years experience,
making inquiries about locating mill
in this city, and asking whether the
town wonld be willing to donate site
for good mill which would grind flour,
buckwheat, rye flour, meal and feed of
all kinds. Mr.. Hoot is desirous of loca-
ting in good county seat town and
wants to put in new electric mill. A
special meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Leon Commercial club was
held Monday evening and strong
letter was sent to Mr.. Hoot, asking that
he come to Leon and look the town over,
and assuring him that the Commercial
Club would lend him every assistance
in establishing a good mill here. Mr..
Hoot wrote that he desired to locate by
April 1st, SO as to have the mill erected
in time for fall trade, and if this town
is fortunate enough to secure the mill, it
it will be something which this town and
country has needed for long time. AS
he wants to secure electric power to run
the mill, this would probably result in
having day circuit established by the
electric light company and the power
would be used by number of other en-.
terprises in this city.

and thereby add to the appearance of
our little city. We feel that it is
necessary to ask the help and hearty
cooperation of every citizen of Leon.
In passing up and down the streets Gf
we are at all observant) we will notice
little paths across the corners of our
lawns, that look very much as though
pigs or sheep had been running across
corners to save step or two. Not
withstanding the fact that we have
splendid sidewalks almost all over the
city, which the city has compelled us
to build mot however against our willy.
Now here is where we want help.
Will someone please tell us how we can
compel the dear people to use these
same sidewalks, and thereby save our
lawns?
If had piece of property to let l

pectorating on me, why am here if

ner, Oregon, February 8, 1908, at the
age of 81 years, ? months and days.,
The deceased was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Len Simpson, of Leon. She
was member of the Baptist church
and in all her Affections she exhibited
great patience, a worthy example of the
sufficiency of the grace of her Lord in
whom she trusted. She is survived by
a loving husband and one son to mourn
her loss. May they realize tiat tsois
loss is her eternal gain. Though her
earthly house of this tabernacle has
been dissolved, she has joined that in
Vulnerable caravan that has washed
their robes and made them white in the
blood of the lamb, having gone up
through many tribulations becoming
one with the general assembly and
church of the first born which is in
Heaven. May the husband and son
strive to meet their loved one in the
mansion of God beyond.
Funeral services were held at the
home on the following Monday, and she

and acquaintances, was born October

Lodge in 1867. He came back to Deca-
tur July 10Th, 1907 and realizing that he
was seriously ill expressed wish to
pass his last days in his old home. He
said to his daughter, "When you are
young you can make new friends, but
when you are old and sick you want
your old friends" He bore his severe

fortitude. always having a cheerful
word for those who came to see him.
He was an affectionate husband and
father, dealt honestly with his fellow

Josiah Hamilton.

Josiah Hamilton, son of Geo. A.. and
Lydia Hamilton, and husband of Lenna
E. Hamilton, died on the 9th day of
March. 1908, at Creston, Iowa, as the
result of an operation for stomach
trouble, aged "a years, II months and
days. He leaves an aged father, de-
voted wife, three sons and daughter
to mourn his untimely decease.
Cut down in the primo OF life and
called from the cares and duties inn
posed by the world, he now rests from
labors free, and must only render to the
Great Ruler of the Universe an account
of his stewardship here. Viewed from
our standpoint he was devoted hus-
band, a loving and indulgent father and
true friend.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Union church by Rev. Regan, of
Des Moines, and his body laid to rest in
the Shy cemetery. With tender hearts
and loving hands we may wreath his
grave with flowers, but he will heed it
not. Yet such acts of love bring their
reward of peace and tranquility to the
living and make our lives the nobler
for the chastening. The second reward
will come when on the resurrection
mourn the family can be reunited and
know each other again, and be more
closely united in the bonds of perfect
love.

MENINGITIS Is FATAL
Mrs. AngeIiCe Andrews, Grandmoth-
er of the Williams Children,
Dies with Dread Disease.

Two new cases of cerrebro spinal
meningitis have occurred since our
last issue, one being Minnie Sinclair,
age Is years, the eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Sinclair near Brace
we'll, whose younger daughter, Nellie,
is now convalescing and able to be
about the house. Minnie, who was
taken on Saturday, was reported better
yesterday and hopes are entertained
for her recovery. Both cases are in
charge of DR.. Coontz, Of Woodland.
On Wednesday morning of last week
shortly after the death of the youngest
child of Dell Williams. Mrs. Andrews,
mother of Mrs. Williams, who made her
home with the family, was attacked by
the terrible disease. She fell uncon-
scious and fingered until Friday morn
ing when she passed away. Her death
was the fourth in that stricken family
within week. Both the Sinclair and
Williams families are still under quar-
antine and no cases have occurred in
this vicinity outside the two families.
The death of Mrs. Andrews was most
pitiful and touching and elicits the
sympathy of all for her sad fate. She
was born at st. Louis and reared in
WSuiOh anu SOuio1O, ICCCltlllH CuC du-
vantage of high education and culture.
She moved here with her husband. the
late Robert Andrews, in the spring of
1875, residing on the farm, q miles
northeast of Lineville until her death.
She was prominent in church and social
circles and her friends were numbered
by her acquaintances. She and her late
husband were members of the Lineville
Presbyterian church and for many
years were it's most devoted adherents
and most liberal supporters. Financial
losses aud the ravages of age combined
to dim her mental fcaulties and she was
seldom seen in late years away from
home. She was the mother of two
children, Mrs. Mabel Williams and
Robbie Andrews, the latter having died
several years ago. Her age was 61
years.-Lineville Tribune.

NINE. MarcelIa sembr1ch.

Nine. Marcella Sembrich, whose COM
ing to Des Moines in April, under the
direction of Loudon Charlton, is waited
with marked pleasure, is an ardent
horse woman, as we'll as the greatest of
living prima donnas. While in New
York she rides every day in Central
Park, which is but short distance from
her hotel. The singers nerves are of
steel and her muscles, made powerful
by constant piano practice, can tame
the most refractory beast.
One day while in Berlin, she rode on
the parade ground, and her horse, a
white Barbary mare, became unruly as
some heavy artillery was passing. 1t
took ten minutes, exciting riding be-
fore Sembrich got her charger tanned
and during that time the prancing and
rearing of the animal collected large
and anxious crowd.
Finally, as Sembrich, her veil floating
in the wind, her color heightened,
brought the horse to submission, two
officers rode up and saluted, MADAME,
said one, 'if you were not the greatest
singer in the world, you would be the
empress of the circus" The speaker
was the Emperor of Germany.
