Ch2utauqua.

The work incident to providing
and arranging the Chautauqua pro-
gram for this season is drawing rap
idly to a close. All of the attractions
have been secured and it only re-
mains to arrange and date them and
the program will be built
Mr.. Vawter is in Chicago this week
putting the finishing touches on the
program booklet. 1t is to be a work
of art surprising in illustration and
color effect anything heretofore at
tempted.
In music, in oratory and in enter
tainment features, the 1911 program
is exceedingly strong. 1t would be
difficult matter to surpass previous
programs in point of platform ora
tory-in fact in any line-but the
music and entertainment features
for this season will surpass anything
we have had before.
Within short time it will be pos
sible to make definite announcements
of the full program. 1t is a feast of
reason and a flow of soul.

A Human RattlebOx.

The Reporter man had the pleasure
of witnessing an unique demonstra-
tion at the office of DR.. Fred A. Bow
man in this city last Friday. We
had heard of some freaks of nature
who could dislocate any joint in their
body, but never before had we seen
one. The demonstration was Ellis
Whitman, of New York City, a young
man 23 years of age, who makes it his
business to travel over the country
giving exhibitions before physicians
and medical colleges and he certainly
rs a wonder. At will he could dislo-
cate any bone in his body, dislocat-
ing both hips at the same time and
Walking around the room. The same
WIS true of his shoulder blades, ell
bows, and in fact any joint in his
body, including his spine, which he
distorted so that it looked exactly
like he had curvature of the spine.
The young fellow was exceptionally
we'll posted in anatomy, and has read
medicine, but says he can make more
money and make it easier giving
demonstrations than by practicing
medicine. He has appeared before all
the leading physicians and medical
colleges in the country. Another feat
which he performed was transferring
his heart from it's normal position
down in his abdomen, distance of
seven inches. He first became aware
OF his peculiar power over his bones
when he was seven years old.

DEEP WELL ACCEPTED
City Council Is Satisfied Deep Well
Will Furnish Plenty of Water
for WaterworkS System.

At a special meeting of the city
council on Tuesday evening it was
voted unanimously to accept the deep
well, it being decided that the pump
ing test was sufficient, and the city
clerk was instructed to secure the
necessary papers from the Iowa En-
gineering Co. to close up the contract
with M. T. Peterson, who drilled the
well, and then bids will be received
for erecting the standpipe and in
stalling the water mains. The we'll
was drilled to depth of 765 feet,
starting with a sixteen inch hole at
the top, and gradually being reduced
down to seven inches at the bottom.
The pump to test the we'll had start.
ed when we went to press last We'd
nesday, and it pumped steadily for
six hours, when one of the pump rods
broke and considerable time was lost
in fishing the pump out and making
repairs. The pump was started again
on Saturday and again rod broke
after pumping few hours. On Mon
day the pump was kept going con-
tinuously for nine hours, throwing
sixty gallons of water per minute
and when a rod again broke at 2
O'Clock tuesday morning the water
was perfectly clear and full stream
being thrown. Mr.. Peterson says that
with the proper pumping facilities
the we'll will furnish 100 gallons of
water per minute. He is now at
work taking down his machinery aEd
getting the we'll in condition to turn
over to the city when his contract
will be completed.

The Interstate Trail.

Much interest is being manifested
along the various proposed routes Of
the Interstate Trail through Harri-
son county. Good road work is be-
ing done by township boards and by
individuals. Last Friday two auto
mobile crowds from Bethany inspect
ed work being done by the enter
prising citizens of Eagleville, about
five miles south of that place, on
what is called the Bethany-Eagle-
vile road. o. w. Curry, Walter Nor
gan, John Vanzant, Chas Anderson,
and Others were making full hands
and much good was accomplished.
About a dozen teams were at work
and some pictures were taken of the
crowd, but in developing the pic
lures Bert Heaston used some water
that had been cleared with lime and
the plates were ruined.
Last Monday another crowd visit
ed Albany and received much en-
couragement from that place and
adjoining places where the trail is
likely to be established. Ezra H.
Frisby, B. P. Sigler, and Len Heas-
ton are the trustees from Bethany
and are spending time and money to
push along the good work.
Another trip will be made shortly
to Pattonsburg when further ar
rangements will be made for road
work from that place to Bethany
Bethany Clipper.

Prof. VOelker to Leave.

. At a meeting of the school board
Monday night Prof. A. G. Voelker
formally notified the board that he
would not remain at the head of the
Leon schools next year, declining the
reelection rendered by the board.
He has been contemplating a change,
and will probably locate in the west,
but as yet has made no definite plans.
Since taking charge of the Leon
schools four years ago Prof. Voelker
has made a marked improvement in
our schools and they are now fully
accredited. He has been hard
worker and very popular among both
patrons and students, and his work
in the musical lines will be sadly
missed. He is a splendid school man
and has a bright future before him,
and many friends in this city will
learn with regret that he is to leave
the Leon schools.

WEIGHING AND COUNTING MAIL.
All POstmasters Must Weigh and
Count During Month of May.

The postoffice department has di-
rected all postmasters to weigh all
classes of mail passing through their
Offices during the month Of May.
This includes both incoming and out
going mails. Not only is it required
that the mails be weighed in separ-
ate classes, of which there are four,
but it is also required that each
separate piece of mail be counted
and an accurate account kept of the
number of pieces of each class. Nor
is this all. Each employe of the de-
partment must keep account of the
length of time required in handling
each class of mail matter, and fur
nish said account to Uncle SAM
This order of the department ap-
plies to the rural carriers as well as
to the employees in the postoffices.
1t will mean great deal of extra
work, sorting, weighing and count
ing four classes of mail matter. We
presume this order is for the enlight-
enment of the special Investigating
committee appointed by the last con-
gress to investigate the cost of hand
ling different classes of mail. 1t will
be remembered that the postoffice
department and the magazine pub
fishers got into big dispute relative
to proper charges for mailing maga-
zines and in order to settle matters
on an equitable basis congress ap-
pointed a special committee to in
vestigate the relative cost of hand
ling various classes of mail. Frank
ed letters and official letters are also
included in the order for counting
and weighing, making really six dif-
ferent kinds of mail that is to be
reported upon.

Young Men Wanted.

All the young men in Leon and vi
cinity are wanted at the Christian
church next Sunday night. The oc-
casion is a special service in honor OF
the young men. The pastor will tell
you what the leading young ladies
of Leon think young man ought to
be. The morning service is especial
ly for the members of the church and
all are requested to be present. Don't
forget to come to the great Bible
school and bring your bible. We have
received our International certificate
and are now working to become a
Front Rank school. Will you help
US by your presence and bible?
An unique service was held last:
Lords day evening. 1t was "Tubercu-
losis Day" and the pastor secured the
services of Dr. Eiker for a lecture or
that subject. A red light was ar
ranged On the pulpit and it would
flash on for just second every three
minutes. The audience kept won
dring what it was for. When the doc
tor reached the proper point in his
lecture he explained that every time
they saw the red light flash on it
meant that somebody had died OF
tuberculosis in the United States, for
Cne dies every three minutes of the
terrible plague. The lecture waa8
along the lines of prevention; and
was we'll given and very much ap-
preciated by the large audience It
was both interesting and instructive.
Don't forget the special service next
Lords day evening, May 7th.
