The story to the effect that Stella
Carlson. the 6:year old daughter of
Olaf Carlson, $50 Marshall avenue
is dying from the terrible effects Of
hydrophobia. resulting from the bite
Of dog several days ago, is denied
by City Health Commissioners s., G.
Paul, who visited the home Wednes-
day morning and examined the child
who is being attended by Dr. l.. A.
Stevenson.
DR., Paul says the child is suffering
from blood poisoning, but that she is
now recovering. DR.. Paul declares that
hydrophobia has not had sufficient
time to develop since the bite and
that the child has none of the symp.
toms of the dread disease.
There has never been a case of by.
drophobia in this state. according to
DIR. Paul.

The gentleman was evasive through
out. until such time as he found he
could make bold statement on speci.

be expected to believe that Messrs.
Flinders, Zundel and Stewart did not
know what they were talking about.
The concensus OF opinion was that
Mr.. Nutting was a party to the dis

been charged up to him, and also was

says that the Carlson family resents

DR.. stevenson said last night that
he had not diagnosed the case as by

A Good Town.

Among the other places that has
failed to gain in population is Leon,
the good town down in Decatur coun-
;ty where O. E. Hull, V. R. McGinnis.
C. w. Hoffman and others reside.
These gentlemen are all good demo
Gratis and capital good fellows. There
are lots of other good people in that
town. Mr.. Hoffman claims a distinc-
tion that as lawyer he has not a
client in the penitentiary, or that
was his claim few years ago. Mr..
McGinnis nearly everybody up this
way knows, especially the democrats.
He has been a candidate for congress
and was a candidate for judge last
fall along with Tom Maxwell. Mr..
hull is the editor of The Reporter OF
that place and is said to be the only
man in Iowa who works eighteen
hours day. The population of Leon
in 1905 was 2,027 and the present
census shows it is 1891. In 1900
there were 1905 people in the town
and that included the above good
democrats. Leon is said to be the
only town in southern Iowa where a
majority of the business men are
democrats. They probably have been
busy is the reason there has been
such small falling OH in population.
However it is good town and does
not@thow the falling on many Of the
county seats haye.-Corning Free

Christian Church Notes.

We had a great day last Lords
day. The Bible school numbered
174 Notwithstanding the bad wealth
er. Every one seems to have caught
the spirit of enthuiasm aud the one
purpose, common to all is to move
forward. The pastor was greeted
with a large. and appreciative au-
dience at both services. In the
evening the choir under the direc-
tion, Of DR.. Woodmansee rendered
some special music which was full
of praise and greatly appreciated:
Mr.. E. w. Allen, one of our Nat
ional Secretaries, from Kansas City,
Mo-, will be with us over next Lords
day and will also give an address
on Saturday night. Mr.. Allen is
the man who thrilled the men at
our mems dinner in the basement of
the church In November. He Is a
great speaker and one should not
fail to hear him. He will speak on
Lords day morning and evening as
well as on Saturday night.
Enthusiasm ran high and was
given expression in vigorous ap-
plause by the whole Bible school
last Lords day when the note which
was given for the piano was public
ly burned.
We have our stakes set for 200 in
the school and will surely reach it
soon. J. S. Coffin, pastor.

A DAY LETTER SERVICE
Rate will be One and One-halt Times
the, Rate of the Night Letter
Service by W. U. Wires.

The Western Union Telegraph
Co. seems to have made a hit with
It's night letter service. The little
letter of not to exceed fifty words
that can be flashed over the wires
and delivered at the same rate that
was heretofore charged for ten
word day message filled a long--felt
want. There may have been some
doubt in the minds of the officials
when they introduced the innovation
but that doubt was soon dispelled.
The company is not making any an
nouncement as to the success of the
night letter plan. The dear public
is not informed as to the probable
profits, and, after all, the public is
not particularly interested in that
phase of the question. The dear
public has found the innovation
just what it needed and the COM
pany has been quick to realize that
it has struck a good thing. Very
wisely, it believes in giving the dear
people what they want and so an
other innovation is now announced.
In addition to the night letter SER
vice, we are to have day letter SER
vice. Of course, day letters cannot
be sent at the same rate that is now
charged for night letters, but the new
day letter will be accepted and sent
promptly and delivered with equal
promptness at the rate of one and
one-half time the cost Of the night
letter. That is that fifty-word day
letter may be sent at one and one
half time the charge for a ten-word
day message. The innovation will
take effect on March 1, and every
body about the offices is convinced
that it is going to be a good thing
and will prove as popular as did the
night letter service.
And in the future the young man,
married or single, who heretofore
found ten words insufficient when
communicating with certain people,
will be able to use fifty words with
out bankrupting himself For a
hundred other purposes the new ar
rangement will prove of real value.

EmmOnS-Huston.

Last Saturday at II o'clock Mr..
A. w. Emmons, of Saline, Missouri,
and Miss Maude M. Huston, OF
Pleasanton, Iowa, were quietly unit
ed in marriage at the parlors of
the Hotel Leon, Ed j. S.. Coffin:
pastor of the Christian church Of
fciating. The bride and groom
were: accompanied by Mr.. Ernest
Emmons and Miss Marion Huston,
who were the only witnesses to the
ceremony aside from the minister.
The bride Ia the daughter of the
late F. M. Huston and wife, highly
respected citizens of this county.
While we are not acquainted with
Mr.. Emmons nor his parents, he
represents the appearance of gen.
tleman, and a. young man of am
bition and thrift. The happy young
couple will make their home on a
farm near Saline, Mo. Many friends
and acquaintances join in wishing
them prosperity and happiness.

A deal which has been pending for
some time was finally closed Tues
day, whereby Frank N. Hansell
takes a long lease on the big Biggs
building which has been occupied by
the. Bradley Wasson Mercantile Co.,
md will take possession at once.
his is the largest store building in

business demanded more room that
his present quarters afforded. He
will also add several new lines to

Leon Wants q Park.

The people of Leon have awakened
to the fact that a park would add
much to the attractiveness of that
city and are taking steps to secure
one. We hope they will make a
success of the enterprise. Leon is a
bee ~tiful town with good business
houses, and when a nice we'll kept
public park is established it will be
one of the most attractive towns in
southern Iowa. Humeston has fine
park and it is one of the most at
tractive features of our town, espec-
tally for big public occasions it has
proven it's usefulness and comfort
While at all times its grateful shade
and beauty make it a most pleasant
retreat. A park is something that
every citizen of town is proud OF
and can enjoy.-Humeston Era.

AN IDEAL SUNDAY NEWSPAPER

Recent issues of The Sunday
Record-Herald REMIND, one that Chi
cago may fairly lay claim to produc-
ing the best newspapers in the
world, not excepting those of New
York. The Sunday Record-Herald
in foreign news alone has it's own
special cable service in addition to
those of the New York Herald, World
Journal of Commerce and Associated
Press. This is fair example of the
completeness of the paper in every
department.
Aside from the regular news fea-
lures, there is something in The Sun
day Record-Herald for every member
of the family. The special by Will
liam E. Curtis and Walter Wellman
are always interesting. The sport
ing section offers four whole pages OF
fresh and authentic news in every
line of sport. The woman's section
is filled with illustrated articles on
the latest wrinkles in fashion and
domestic science, with Marion Har-
land as a regular contributor and
Dame Curtsey's Novelties in En-
tertainment" as valued feature.
The dramatic page, written by James
O'Donnell Bennett, is admittedly
without an equal in the West. The
array of splendid special articles by
skilled writer's, finely illustrated, al
so is typical of th ehigh literary quail
ity of The Record-Herald. In the
way of humor there is the comic
besides Charles Lederer's cartoons
and laughable articles for adults and
S. E. Kiser's delightful "Alternating
Currents" for everybody.
But the thing that lifts The Sunday
Record-Herald most emphatically
above all it's rivals is it's magazine
section. There is nothing else that
can touch this in American Journalism
The Sunday Magazine of The Record
Herald is a real magazine, full of
stories and articles by the most fam
Gus writer's of our day, illustrated
by celebrated artists. In quality and
beauty it compares favorably with
the best monthlies. No wonder The
Record-Herald is regarded as the
ideal Sunday newspaper. -,

Death of Oldest Twin In the World.

printed a picture of Uncle Jack
Phipps of Farragut, a former resi-
dent of Decatur county. and fat1n
of Mrs. F. A. Gardner, and
brother, Eli Phipps, Of HI
Okla, the oldest living twins in the
world, they being 80 years of age
on Feb. 14th. But this remarkable
record for longevity was broken last
Wednesday when Eli Phipps died
at his home in Oklahoma. There
are very few persons who live to
the age of 80 years, and there is no
record of twins both living to this
remarkable age before.

Injured in Runaway,

AS D. G.. Cannon and family were
returning to their home west of Leon
last Sunday noon, his team of mules
became frightened just at the ap-
proach of the bridge west of the
X. & w. tracks, by lot of snow fall
ing from the fence. The mules turn
ed quickly down the embankment,
overturning the carriage, and Mrs.
Gammon's left shoulder was broken.
The children and Mr.. Cannon es-
capped uninjured. The mules ran
through the wire fences but were
not hurt.
