Our Christmas at the Poor Farm.

Editor Reporter.-Being an inmate
OF the county farm would like to tell
the people of Decatur county Of our
happy Christmas at the poor farm, Mr..
and Mrs. shira sparing no pains to
make us happy, and also Mrs. Paralee
Moore, matron of the woman's depart
ment, with her kind heart working
night and day with Mrs. shira to please
the poor inmates. Our dinner was good
enough for a king. About three o'clock
we were invited into the dining room
where there was large Christmas tree,
lighted with wax candles and loaded
with beautiful and useful presents,
candy and nuts, and it looked perfectly
grand. We had few Christmas songs
and MIR. Shira impersonated Santa
Claus and he made good one. 1t was
beautiful sight and yet sad one.
Old grey headed men and women were
sitting there like little children wait
ing for their presents,poor and helpless,
sick and afflicted in both mind and body,
cast away from home to the poor house,
no one to take care of US but God and
our government, but it cannot be
helped. ] thank God that l have as
good home as have, and am treated
kindly and respectfully.

New Iowa tuberculosis Sanltar.
lum To Take All. Inclpient
Cases Wanted.

Iowa City, Ia, Dec. 28.-The law re-
quiring that only "incipient cases"
be admitted to the sanitarium for the
treatment Of tuberculosis few miles
from this city, will probably be con-
strued rather literally, at least for
time after the institution is opened.
DR.. II. E. Kirscher, of Oil City, Pa, who
is here has called attention to the diff
Guilty OF getting cases in the very early
stages. lis the universal experience
that persons afflicted with tuberculosis
in the early stage, are loath 20 believe
it, even when so advised by physicians.
The state OF New York has never been
able to fill its sanita1ium for the treat
ment of tubercular patients on account
OF firm adherence to the law that only
the incipient cases be admitted. DR..
kirscher, who has made thorough
study of the disease says he has known
advanced cases to do we'll in sanitar-
ium, while cases in the early stages can
not always be helped.
On account Of the large expense the
building Of shacks for the patients has
been abandoned for the present. Two
large pavilions with capacity Of forty
each have been provided, and accom-
modations will be enlarged later.

A very enjoyable evening was spent
at the beautiful homo Of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. M. Chastain, Of east Leon, last Thurs
day evening, by the members Of Mrs.
Chastain's Sunday School class, in honor
Of their 35tb wedding anniversary.
One of the features of the evening
was having march, "Home, Sweet
Home" played upon the piano, and the
entering of Mr.. and Mrs. Chastain, who
had been requested to once again
"jnmp the broom stick" which they
willingly did, but when Mrs. Chastain
made the leap she slipped and fell but
was uninjured, exclaiming as she arose,
81 did not do that thirty-five years ago
tonight"
The evening was spent in music,
games and contests. The prizes were
won by Misses Lulu Benefel and Lillian
Bigley. During the evening refresh
ments were served and at a late hour
the guests, departing, wished Mr.. and
Mrs. Chastain many happy returns Of

WANT BETTER SERVICE
Railroad Officials are Meeting the
Greater Des Molnes Club Today
In Regard to Train Service.

An Important meeting is in progress
In the city Of Des Moines today as The
Reporter goes to press and it is to be
hoped that it will result in an improve
ment in the train service between this
city and Des Moines. On several oc-
casions an effort has been made to in
duce the Burlington officials to extend
the Van Wert-Des Moines passenger
train either to Leon or Lamont, and
several alsconferences have been held but
something always came up to prevent
success. Now the Greater Des Moines
Club has taken hold Of the matter.
They decided couple Of weeks ago
that the Burlington should give them
better passenger and freight service on
the Des Moines-Cainsville branch, and
took the matter up with the company.
Among the railroad officials who will
be present are General Superintendent
W. B. Throop, Of the Iowa lines, Divi-
sion Superintendent o. e. Stewart, Di-
vision Freight Agent W. g. Wagner and
Division Passenger Agent M. M. Reno
1t is barely possible that General
Manager Ward of the Burlington lines
will also be present.
This run could be extended either to
Leon or Lamont, starting in the morn
ing and returning in the evening and
would be great accommodation to the
travelling public and the increased
traffic would certainly pay the railroad,
for it would not require any additional
equipment or more train men. The
present run is very short one and the
trainmen would be only too glad to get
the increased mileage.

HE PREDICTS THE END OF THE
EARTH IN 1905.
Prophet Lee J. Spangler Makes
Many Startling Predictions
for Coming Year.

New York, Dec. 27.-Lee J. Spang-
lers prophecies for 1908 are issued.
Mr.. Spangler has made many startling
predictions in the past twenty years,
and for eleven years has been sending
out annual bulletins.
Spangler's prediction for last year
that there would be a great money
stringency and that many OF the bank
officials would take their lives, and that
President Roosevelt would have great
trouble have seemingly been realized.
Another prophecy made last year was
that the United States would go to war
with Japan, and that she would be vic-
torious and ride the high seas as the
peace dictator Of the world.
spangler's bulletin for 1908 is filled
with predictions Of calamities, the most
awful of which is the destruction of the
world during the latter part of 1908.
December has been set as the month
when the world will drop out of exis-
tence.
Sunday, when the people are in their
places Of worship, the great signs will
appear in the skies, and in the twink
ling of an eye the transition will take
place.
Previous to the destruction of the
world great troubles are predicted.
Nations will be entangled in war, the
great mountains of the world will
tumble and fall and the rivers will dry
up.
Boston, he says will sink into the sea
and New York will be burned. There
will be great financial troubles and
many will fail, and the treasury of the
United States will go dry.

Two of the beautiful and simple

ters, Misses Alta L. and Bessie c., were
respectively united in marriage to Mr..
Selby G. Stanley and Mr.. Edgar D. Ray.
Receiving the guests were Miss Doro.
thy Brandt, of Clearfeld, and Miss Bon
ME Otto, Of BeaconsHeld.
The wedding march was played by
Miss Bonnie Otto while the bridal pairs,
preceded by Rev. G. G. Hobson, of the
Beaconsfield q. b. church, took their
places under the wedding bell. Rev.
Hobson, after short but beautiful and
impressive ceremony, pronounced the
words which made them man and wife.
After the ceremony the guests partook
of tho bounteous and delicious wedding
dinner. The afternoon was pleasantly
spent in congratulating the happy peo-
pie, in music and in social converse.
The brides were becomingly attired
in white wool with lace and ribbon as
trimmings. About fifty guests were
present. Those from distance were

Philadelphia; Chauncy Stanley, Lacona;
L. W. Stanley, Montrose, Mo-; Mrs. Jno.

new YEARS GREETING
The New Yeaf Marks the Completion
Of TwenV-0ne Years Labor as
Editor of The Reporter.

Twenty-o years ago today the ed
itor Of The Reporter landed in Leon and
the same day commenced work on the
paper ss part proprietor, and for nearly
twenty years we have been in sole
charge Of the paper. How time flies.
Twenty-one years is long time to re-
main in one business in one town, and
during that time we have had many ex-
periences, which have been tinged with
Joy and sadness, but all the time we
have been head over heels in work. We
have had the pleasure of chronicling
the birth of children, their marriage
and the arrival of children of their own,
and in some cases we have written the
birth, wedding and death announce
ments.. During our long years as the
publisher OF The Reporter We have
made some enemies, but we forgive
them, and wish them we'll, while the
many tried and true friends who have
lightened our burdens will never be
forgotten. Twenty-one years have
made many changes. There are but
few business firms now in business who
were here when we came, but no town
in southern Iowa has made better
showing, all things considered, and to-
day Leon has the best and most pro
gressive businessmen to be found in any
county seat town in the state of Iowa.
AS to The Reporter we have devoted
just one-half of our life to the work of
building it up, and it is with a feeling
akin to pride that we speak of our
modern equipped plant, it's fine Office
building and subscription list second
to no paper in this part of the state.
We trust that the cordial relations
which have existed for SO many years
with all our patrons may continue un-
broken for years to come, and that the
New Year will bring health, wealth and
happiness to all our readers.

Sister:
1nasmuch as the promptings of your
fiery Zeal led you recently to call me
from the bed Of slumber into the pres

cause me to stand there with little or
no habiliments upon my shivering limbs
to listen to the sweetness OF your voice
and the pathos Of your entreaties,
whilst my upper and neither teeth did
chatter together and the chills did play
at hide and go seek upward and down.

and emphatic question can I help you
with your revival, will say how could

Your voice-now soft as the low Of the
COW, now earnest and strong as the
voice Of the patient mule, then as hope
seemingly faded and disappointment
took it's place, like the sad, sweet voice
of the solemn owl. All, sister, yes! A

your side. Count on me, sister, depend
on me-yea, lean on me, faint on me. I'll
be there when you start; I'll be there
when you finish. Joy be with you! May
you multiply and grow fat. May your
many virtues swell and bust. May your
star of triumph never set. May your
sight grow keener, your hearing more
acute, your smelling better-in other
words, your eyes bigger, your ears
more prominent, your nose longer. All
this and much more, forever and forever
more. ~

State University Banquet.

Decatur County Alumni and students
win hold reunion Friday, January s,
1908. All alumni, those who have at
tended, and those who are attending
the S. o. l. at the present time should
take AN interest in this and be present.
Each county in the state has orga-
nized county club, consisting Of the
students of the State University in the
respective counties. The Greater Uni
versity committee has been boosting
this for some time but no special action
was ever taken until about the middle
of December, 1907, when there was q
large mass meeting and the county
clubs were organized. The object Of
the organization is to boost the Uniyer-
sity, not to hurt the smaller colleges.
but to get the idea Of college into many
who would not otherwise attend. Our
State University ranks among the best
in the west and we should try and make
it still better. There is no better way
to do this than to increase the attend
ance.
The attendance for the past five years
has hnan as fo11ows.
