Too Much Shoplifting.

During the holiday season when
local merchants have to utilize much
extra space to display their goods,
there is an unusual opportunity for
the shoplfter to get in their work.
There is altogether too much of this
work going on and it Is being talked
of by the Leon merchants to employ
q professional detective to visit the
various stores and detect people who
steal articles from the counters and
display tables. One Leon merchant
few days ago missed number OF
handkerchiefs from counter just
after two young girls had been in
his store, so he followed them to
their home and had talk to their
parents and then had the girls
brought before them. They both
denied they had taken anything
from the store but the merchant de-
tected one of the handkerchiefs in
the pocket of coat worn by one of
the girls and a little questioning
brought out the whole thing and he
secured about two and half dollars
worth of goods which they had taken
from his store. But it is not always
the work of children, as any of the
merchants will tell you and We know
of several instances where the par
ties have been detected before leav-
ing the store. Things have reached
such a stage that there are going to
be some arrests made unless the
petty stealing is stopped. -

Mercer County Makes a Record.

The regular December term of cir
cult court which opens in Princeton
next Monday will go down in history
as the first term in Mercer county
without whiskey case. Liquor has
formed an important part in the
court of this county, and this one,
without the calling to law of some
man for dispensing of frey liquid to
the thirsty populace, will be novel
ty, indeed.
The first term of court in Mercer
county was held at the home of JOS
epn Girdner, three miles northeast of
Princeton, September Is, 16, 1845.
A grand jury was empanneled at that
time, and the first indictment found
was against George w. Meyers for
the illegal sale of liquor.
All down the line in the sixty-five
years since that time, men have sold
liquor contrary to law, and no term
of court up to this time has passed
without one or more liquor trials.
Many are those who have suffered
the penalty, and the jail population
has been increased scores of times
by the addition of booze peddlers.
In the term of court to begin Mon
day there will not be a single bleary-
eyed sot nor pseudo-pharmacist on
the stand to defend himself against
charges of drinking, buying, selling
or giving away bOOZe.-Princeton

Pay Your Subscription.

Right now is a good time to look
at your tab which shows how you
subscription stands on The Reporter.
We dislike to be again compelled to
pay out forty or fifty dollars for
postage stamps to notify all sub
scribers. We cannot carry SUBJ
scriber on our list after they become
more than a year in arrears, owing
to the ruling of the postoffice de-
partment. Why not see that your
paper is at least paid up to the first
of the new year, and If you can
spare the money we would like to
have you pay for it a year ahead.
1t is not much to each subscriber,
only w cents per month, but it
means a great deal to the publisher
of this paper, for we have to rely in
"a great measure upon our SUBJ
scription collections to meet our
current expenses, such as pay roll,
paper, etc. We have expended
several thousand dollars in equip
ping The Reporter with new ma
chinery the past year, and it has
been a heavy load for us to carry.
This extra expense was necessary in
order to keep pace with the times
and continue The Reporter as the
best weekly paper in this part of
Iowa. The paper costs you less than
three cents per week, but frac-
ton more than a, postage stamp.
If you enjoy reading the items in
it's columns you will enjoy them
even more if your subscription is
paid ahead. Will you not do your
share and bring or send us remit
tance right now?

Board of Health Takes Action.

The Board of Health of the City
of Leon met Dec. 10th and trans
acted the following business:
On motion the Board of Health
directed the board of health physi-
clan to inspect the following places:
Grocery stores, meat markets, res
taurants, hotels, bakeries, ice cream
factories, slaughter houses and pack
ing houses including all places where
food stuffs are manufactured, hand
led or sold, also all closets and
livery barns at least four times a
year and report the result of such
inspection to the board of health.
On motion the following resolu-
tion was adopted: Considering that
there has been an epidemic of in
testinal diseases in other cities of
the state and the continual dry
weather the board of health recon-
mends the citizens of Leon that all
water used for drinking purposes
be boiled before using, also all food
stuffs exhibited for sale that are not
in sealed packages or containers
should be cooked before using. That
those merchants supplying such food
should as near as possible keep
such goods sealed more especially
such articles as bread, meat and
butter and the same should not be
delivered unless sealed or wrapped.
Also that all closets should be dis
infected by having lime or some
other disinfectant placed in them.
These recommendations are made
and the citizens are urged to COM
ply with them as near as possible

Death of Joe Post.

Mrs. H. R. Layton received a mes
sage Monday morning containing the
sad news of the death of her brother,
Joe Post, at Guthrie, Okla. Mr..
Post was for many years a resident
of Leon and was we'll known by many
Leon citizens. A number of years
ago he went to Oklahoma where he
engaged in the banking and real es-
tate business. For several years
he has been in failing health, and
his death was not unexpected. A
year ago he came to Leon and spent
several months at the home of his
sister in this city. His remains were
taken to his former home at King
fisher, Okla, for interment, the
funeral being held on Wednesday.

TO STRIKE
81 Per Cent of the Engineers on al
Western Reads Vote to Strike
Unless WAGES are Raised.

Officials of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comOtive Engineers finished the can
vass of the recent strike vote at Chi
cago Sunday night and the result
showed 1882 per cent in favor of a
strike and 2.4S per cent in favor of
accepting the compromise offer of
the railroad managers.
Over 10000 ballots were cast by
the men on sixty separate railroad
systems running north, south and
been set for meeting of the en-
gineers' committee with the general
managers, but it will take place
some time tomorrow. w. S. Stone,
grand chief of the engineers, said
tonight that the managers had prom
esed to notify him in the morning
when they would be ready to hold
conference.
The original demands of the en-
gineers which were presented to the
railroads in September averaged
about II per cent increase in wages,
as we'll as requiring better working
conditions. On the new Mallett
type of engine, the demands were
for an increase of about 80 per cent,
the men claiming that as the engine
does twice the work of the ordinary
kind the engineer should receive
double the pay.
During the conference which lasted
from Sept. % to Nov. Z, the demands
of the men were scaled down to ap-
proximately IL per cent. The mana
ayers would not concede that the en-
gineers were entitled to any advance,
but as an arbitration board had ad-
vanced the pay of the firemen and
switchmen, the managers offered an
increase which averaged about per
cent.
If the strike becomes effective, it
will tie up every line west and south
of Chicago and the Mississippi river.
1t is thought certain, however, that
Ia compromise will be effected. The
Erdman law will be invoked, if the
managers and employees are unable
to reach an agreement.

new COUNTY OFFICIALS
Will Go into office on Tuesday,
January 3rd, Under Ruling by
the Attorney General.

The county and the state officers
will not take their seats in office
this coming term until January B.
which change is made effective by
the new law recently passed by the
legislature. The attorney general
has decided this matter and holds
that under the new law the changes
in the county and state will be
made on January 3rd, which is the
second secular day of the year, in
stead of January 2, which would
have been the time for the change
under the old law. Certificates for
state officers have been made out
in accordance with the change. In
quiries received indicate much mis-
understanding over the state as to
the meaning of the new law.

The Law Should BE Changed.

1t has been the general opinion
tnat the state oil inspector was
authorized to inspect the gasoline
which is sold the same as the coal
oil, but in talking with deputy state
oil inspector John Hall, of Osceola.
who was in Leon last Saturday, We
learn that the law makes no pro-
vision for the inspection of gasoline
and the Standard Oil Co. can dump
any old kind of mixture in their
tanks and sell it to the people as
gasoline, and all they can do is to
kick to themselves, for you might
as we'll kick against a stone wall,
as to the Standard Oil Co. 1t is
probable that a bill will be intro
duced at the coming session of the
legislature which will provide for
the inspection of gasoline the same
as coal oil. 1t is certainly needed.

One Appreciative Politician.

There was little occurrence
down at Abba the other day which
is so out of the usual trend that it
deserves notice. Usually a politi-
clan pats the editors on the back
during the campaign and tells them
what good fellows they are, but as
soon as they are elected they for
get all about the support given them
by the editor and proceed to forget
him until they need his services at
the next election. Not so, however,
with Congressman Nate Kendall,
who was elected as congressman in
the Sixth district. Horace Barnes,
editor of the Abba Republican did
lot of good work for Kendall, and
last week Mr.. Kendall presented
him with fine solid gold watch in
appreciation of his work.

Jim Phipp's Barn Burns.

Last Friday about eleven o'clock
the fire alarm was given and it was
found that the barn on the Jim
Phipps place in the southeast part
of town was on fire, but by the time
help arrived it was too late to do
anything to save it. Mr.. Phipps'
chluren were playing in the barn
and it is thought they in their play
set it afire. The barn contained
ten tons of baled hay, six sets of
harness and some other property.
When the fire started there was a
horse in the barn but it broke loose
and got out. The loss will be quite
heavy on Mr.. Phipps as he had but
about 5000 insurance. Garden

Barn and Contents Burned.

The barn on the farm known as
the old Akers farm, three miles
west of Leon, was destroyed by fire
about II o'clock Saturday night.
The farm is occupied by Clyde Wall
ler. and is owned by Amos Deck. Mr..
Waller lost 500 bushels of corn, con-
siderable hay, all of his harness and
many farm implements, his loss be-;
ing several hundred dollars, and We
understand he had only 5000 in-
surance. The barn was pretty
good building and was insured, but
not enough to cover the loss. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
