MARRIED 81 YEARS Ago
Mr.. and Mrs. |. n. Clark we're Mar
ried Fifty-FOur Years Last Sat-
urday---lis 8Oth Birthday.

Last Saturday was the tifty-fourth
anniversary of the wedding of Mr..
and Mrs. l. N. Clark, two of the best
known and popular residents OF
Leon, and it was also the eightieth
birthday of Mr.. Clark. They enjoy
ed quiet little celebration, the i'm
mediate members of the family be-
ing present at the delicious dinner
which was served.
Mr.. Clark was born in Tippecanoe
county, near Lafayette, Indiana,
March 18, 1881. He came to Deca-
tur county in 1851 and moved here
the following year, opening store
south of Leon on what is now Roscoe
Oney's farm. His first vote was cast
at the special election held to de-
eide on county seat for this county,
at which Leon was selected. He was
married at Decatur City on March
18, 1857, to Miss Elizabeth. A. Con-
rey, the ceremony being performed
by Rev. Rails, and then they moved
to Leon and have made their home
in this city for fifty-four years. Mrs.
Clark was born in Edgar county, Illi-
nois, and is now "a years old. They
are both enjoying good health and
their many friends express the wish
that they may live to enjoy many
more anniversaries.

Tragic Death of James Stingley.

The following account of the trag-
ic death of James Stingley, at one
time a resident of Leon, the father
of Mrs. w. H. Bobbitt, of this city,
is taken from a Silver Creek, Neb.,
paper:
James Stingley was struck by the
Union Pacific east bound fast mail
train last Tuesday afternoon at the
crossing three miles west of Silver
Creek, as he was driving to town,
and he and his horse were instantly
killed and his buggy demolished.
The train was stopped, facts ascer-
tanned and the accident reported to
Agent Shumaker by the conductor
of the train as it passed through
few minutes later. Later the body
was moved to the home about two
miles north of where the accident
occurred. Mr.. Stingley, who was 80
years and 6 months old, hard Of
hearing and seeing, was driving his
faithful old horse hitched to top
buggy, the top being up and having
the side curtains on. The engine ev-
identity struck the horse near the
flank and he was cut all to pieces.
The buggy was smashed into kind
ling wood pieces and Mr.. Stingley
was struck by the engine and hurled
about 20 feet, his right arm and
shoulder broken and his skull frac-
tured in at least two places. The
funeral was held at the Silver Creek
M. E. church at 2 o'clock Thursday
afternoon, Rev. G. w. Coulter con-
Quoting the services, and interment
was at the Silver Creek cemetery.
The pail bearers were members of
Ellsworth Post No. 20, G.. A. R., of
which he was a member. The Post
furnished flowers for the funeral.
James Stingley was born in Picka-
way county, Ohio, August Is, 1880.
He moved to Terre Haute, Ind, when
a boy and at the age of eighteen set
tied in Jones county, Iowa. He was
married to Miss Nancy Mccormick
Jan. Is, 1850, and she survives him.
OF the five children born to them,
four are living, B. E. Stingley and
Mrs. John Lundgreen, of Silver
Creek, L. G. Stingley, of Eustis, Neb.,
and Mrs. w. H. Bobbitt, of Leon,
Iowa.
Mr.. Stingley enlisted in Co. E,
31st Iowa VOL Inf. and served in the
army for eighteen months. After
wards he returned to Jones county,
Iowa, coming to Polk county, Neb.,
in 1884, and he had resided in this
community since that time with the
exception of about two years spent
in Decatur county, Iowa.
Mr.. Stingley was an active man for
his age, had been brave soldier and
was a good citizen, always kind
and loving husband and father and
of his taking off was great shock
to the community.

FARMERS ATTENTION!
Treat Your Oats for Smut.

We wish to call the attention of
farmers to the use of Formaldehyde
for smut. Scatter the amount of
oats you intend to sow on the barn
floor, and for every twenty bushels
of grain use one pint of Formalde-
hyde, diluted with twenty gallons of
water.
One person should mix the grain
with scoop while another sprinkles
the mixture over the grain. Have
it thoroughly mixed and leave in a
pile. Cover with sacks for 10 or IL
hours, then scatter out to dry.
Seeders should be set to SOW a little
thicker than with untreated grain.
This will give you an average of 7
to 10 bushels more per acre. This
is given to our farmer friends
through the kindness of A. E. Cot
terill, who always uses it. We carry
Formaldehyde.

Found Part of Weather Balloon.

Pres Wiley, of High Point, found
the rubber part of another of those
weather balloons which were sent up
recently from Omaha by the United
States weather bureau, several of
which have been picked up in Deca-
tur county. The others which have
been found were intact with the bas-
ket containing the weather observa-
tion instruments, but this one
must have caught in tree or fence
and torn loose from the basket, as
all that was found was the rubber
balloon part, which fell in Mr..
Wiley's pasture and his attention
was attracted to it by his cattle and
horses which had gathered around
it. He looked for the basket, but
could find no trace of it. Should
any one find small wicker basket
in that neighborhood which is sealed
up, they should not open it, but no.
tify the weather department at Oma-
ha who will advise what is to be
done with it.

>Traded Hat For Lantern

Horace Farquhar has good light
colored Stetson hat at his store and
he is waiting for the owner to call
and claim it. Mr.. Farquhar is max
ing some repairs in the plumbing at
his residence on south Main street,
and had dug trench out to the city
sewer. In order to warn the public
of the open trench he placed a Ian
tern on a stick, wiring it on, and
placed it over the trench. Saturday
night between IL and 1 o'clock Mrs.
Farquhar was awakened by an un-
usual noise in the street south of
their house and looking out, OF the
window saw man trying to un-
fasten the lantern. She awoke MT.
FFaEquhar who dressed hurriedly
and went out and called to the man
to let the lantern alone. But the
fellow wanted the lantern and tear
ing it loose he climbed into a buggy
which was occupied by another man,
and they started west at a lively
pace. AS they went over the cross
ing one of them lost his hat and Mr..
Farquhar picked it up and kept it.
A little later the fellow came by the
house several times evidently look
ing for the hat. 1t is a light colored
Stetson, size 6 * and cost the owner
four or five dollars, while the Ian
tern was worth but few cents.
Since the sewer trenches have been
caving in the city has placed Ian
terms at the dangerous places and
several of them have been stolen. 1t
is a contemplate and dangerous
trick to steal lantern which Is
placed to warm travellers of danger
GUS places Suppose after the lantern
had been stolen that some innocent
person had walked or driven into
the trench and been injured. Who
would have been liable for the dam
age?

ON GOOD ROADS.
Meeting at .OsccoIa Was Il Big
Success.

The Osceola Sentinel contained the
following article on the Good Roads
meeting held there last Saturday.
The Good Roads meeting at the
Opera House Saturday afternoon
was a decided success from every
standpoint. Senator Lafe Young
spoke for more than an hour and.
received frequent applause. Natur-
ally, reference to the futility of
waiting for legislatures to act
brought forth big laugh in which
the genial Lafayette joined with a
remark that he spoke from expert
ence.
He disclaimed any experience as a
practical road maker, saying that
his offices were simply those of a
good roads "agitator", that he was
not here to tell them just how to go
at it to make good roads out of pc
culiar soil or under peculiar condi-
tlons, but to urge them to get busy
! and do it now.
Like every other enthusiast over
the great issue of better highways,
he urges the constant use of the
drag when conditions are favorable.
Senator Young devotes his time
! and money to the good roads cause
freely and does not even accept his
expenses when making addresses
| upon this subject, and it is only fair
to say that such was the case long
before he was in any way an aspi-
rant for the office.
His address was an inspiring ono,
and many people felt a greater love
tot Of
one WHO has seen greater part of
the world compare it with other Sec
tlons. Lafe is the real Iowa boost.
er and no mistake about that.
Following the address by Senator
Young, business meeting of the
Clarke county Blue Grass Road AS
sociation was held. After several
talks by members it was decided to
ask the Board of Supervisors to act
as referees in the matter of locating
the highway across the county, as
people living on different roads be-
tween Murray and Osceola and Os-
ceola and Woodburn are anxious to
have the official route made along
| these roads. The matter will be
settled within a week or ten days.
A special meeting of the people
interested in the Blue Grass Road,
as we'll as the good roads, cause in
general is called at the courthouse
for next Saturday at 300 p. M, at
which time plans will be considered
further and, if possible trustees for
the Interstate road, which is being
organized from Kansas City to Des
Moines by way of Osceola will be
selected.
w. A. Hopkins, president of tho
Interstate road, a prominent bank
er, of Lamont, was in attendance
at the meeting as was also ]. P.
Manatrey, of Fairfield, vice president
of the Blue Grass Road Association.
and one of the most prominent good
roads men of the state
The movement for better high.
ways was never so much alive as at
present and there will be wonder
full improvements this year.

Why Leave Iowa?

A 32O-acre farm four miles from
Logan, Harrison county, this state,
known as the L. E. Hunt place, sold
twenty-five years ago for SIS an
acre. Last year it changed hands
at 500 per acre, and this year it
sells for $125. The farm was pur-
chased by an Iowa man who knows
the value of Iowa soil. He will get
fair returns from the products of
the farm, and then In few years
he can sell it for $50 or $175 per
acre. Why 60. west or south after
cheap land-cheap because it Is poor
such investments can be
made right here at home? It is q
safe prediction that nine-tenths of
those who buy in the cheap land sec
tions of the United States make less
than they would IL they invested in
the substantial lands Of Iowa. Iowa
may not be . health resort, but it is
the place for the sturdy, energetic,
wide-awake farmer to get into con-
:nection with coin Of the realm.
