Blind Boone at the Opera House
Thursday.

Blind Boone. the famous blind
piano player will appear at the opera
house in Leon on Thursday evening,
of this week. He has been on the
road giving concerts for thirty sea-
sons and everywhere the press re-
ports speok in glowing terms of his
performances. Reserved seats can
be secured at Van Werden & Kopp's
drug store. Here are some of the
Eress rports:
Chicago Inter-Ocean, May %,
1888: Blind Boone, the colored
vocalist and pianoforte player, as
sisted by Miss Stella May, gave a
concert last night at the Centenary
M. E. church. The greater part of
the program was instrumental, and
the touch and expression of the blind
man is exquisite: Considering the
disadvantage he labors under, he is
perfectly marvellous. His principal
pieces were a Moonlight Sonata by
Beethoven, and the Marshfield Tor
nado. Miss Stella May, a young lady
scarcely 16 years of age, sings ad-
mirably, and has perfect cOntralto
voice.
Omaha Bee, October IL, 1889:
The Broadway M. E: church was
crowded at the Blind Boone concert
last evening. The marvellous skill
of the gifted genius attracted many
who had heard him before, as we'll
as hundreds of others. The program
was very interesting and was admir-
ably rendered, and the player re-
sponded to several hearty encores.

Scout Meeting,

On last Friday evening about 25
Scouts assembled at the M. E.
church and after transacting busi-
ness of Importance, they enjoyed a
feed" The scouts are full of vim
and energy and are one in their pur-
pose to learn Scoutcraft. The scout
movement is no child play and the
lessons to be learned will be of un-
told benefit all through life. On ac-
count of the departure of Rev. E. NJ.
Hoff at an early day the scouts elect
ed Rev. p. N. Bradshaw as their
scout master, and it isSthe purpose
of the local camp to push forward
vigorously the work so auspiciously
begun under the leadership Of Rev.
Hoff. It is our hope that the public
may soon see some of the excellent
work done by our local scouts.
Every scout expected to be present
next Saturday at z p. m. at M. e.
church. rf&

LEON IOWA. THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1912.
Should be Given Publicity.

Last week while Judge T. l.. Max
well was in Corning holding court
he called and had an advertisement
placed with us for his sale of Hamp-
shire hogs at Creston on January
I27. In the course of the conversa-
ton the question of the officials as
provided by law came up and the
dem mocratic judge said he thought it
was the best thing that the legisla-
ture ever did when they passed the
law requiring the publication of the
expenditure of the peoples money;
that it was great check on the pet
ty graft that people who are ordinar-
lily considered good ciizens would in
dulge in. He said there was small
matters involving a few dollars that
some would consider legitimate to
take from the public treasury-or
they would try to find reasonable
excuse for doing it if the same would
never be published. He believes
there should be general publication
of the acts of the officials at a rea-
sonable compensation for the same;
that the people pay large sums OF
taxes and they have right to know
what it is spent for and who gets it..
The question of the publication OF
the report of the township trustees
came up and the requirement for
the publication was complimented by
the Judge. In the past large sums
of money was spent in this manner
and the tax payer did not know how
it was spent or who received it. Now
he can sit at his fireside and read OF
the receipts and expenditures, who
gets the money and for what pur-
pose. In this county this valued
information costs the taxpayers, who
are directly interested, between three
'and five cents per year. If the money
is being passed around among the
family or a favored few, the tax
payers of the township know it, and
if there is any attempt on the part
of the officials to graft, they will
very likely be detected. School
boards and incorporated towns,
should all publish their expenditures
and synopsis of their proceedings
SO the people can see what is being
done and how their money is being
expended. Corning has been pub
fishing their proceedings for num-
ber of years, as the law requires
cities to do. But it ought to be done
if the law did not require it.-Corn-
ing Free Press.

PREDICTED A DROUGHT
Rev. Hicks Predicted the Drought OF
1911 Two Years Ago, and Says
1912 will Also BIZ Very Dry.

| Iowa will experience repetition
next summer of the serious drought
of year ago, says the Rev. lrl HICKS,
the long distance weather prognost1-
Gator of St. Louis.
The Rev. Mr.. Hicks claims to have
forecast the drought for 1911 in an
address given at the Des Molnes
chautauqua held at the Iowa state
fair grounds in 1909. At that time
Mr.. Hicks stated that the tempera-
ture would go to maximum for Iowa,
which it did in July. The drought
was due to the peculiar actions oil
Jupiter, according to Mr.. Hicks, who
bases his calculations on astronomi-
cal conditions Jupiter will continue
to perform stunts this summer anu
in consequence Mr.. Hicks advises
farmers to plant their fields early
this spring. In his annual almanac
received in Des Moines this week,
Mr.. Hicks congratulates himself that
the drought of 1911 came in con-
formity to his warning two years
| ago. He quotes verbally from a
news item which appeared in the
Register and Leader on July 6, 1911
and adds personal comment. He
says:
''The question arises, did We, in
conformity to our theory, give any
public warning of serious drought in
1911? Let us see. The following
item appeared in the Register and
Leader at Des Moines, July 6, 1911:
1.-The Rev. Ira Hicks. the long
distance weather prognosticator Of
St. Louis, forecast Des Moines' hot
weather for this summer two years
ago. The Midland Chautauqua bu-
reau this morning was looking over
the files Of 1909 containing accounts
of the Des Moines chautauqua and
stumbled over the prophecy made by
DR.. Hicks, the weather seer, in an
address before a local audience.
1.-The dry weather of the fall of 1909
will mean an immense dry spell for
Des Moines, and the country in the
Hicks.
What we said to the large Chau-
tauqua assembly on the state fair
grounds at Des Moines, in the sum-
mer of 1909, was substantially said
in public lectures to fifty Chautauqua
assemblies, in ten states, during the
same summer of 1909. Perhaps two
hundred thousand or more people
would testify to the truth Of this
statement Plain and specific warn
.ing was given that minimum rais1-'
fall period would approach, bringing
a maximum of heat and drought in
1911, with great probability of con-
tinuance of such conditions up to the
season of 1912, and possibly in the
southern extremes of the country, up
to 1913. We have never publicly
made the statement, but we do here
and now make it: 1t is fact that
one of our chief reasons for consent
ing to make the Chautauqua tour in
1909 was to have the opportunity to-
personally warn the people of this
impending drought. But in so warn
ing them, we created no sensational
fear or alarm. We insisted on the
possibility and necessity of making
ready for such disbursement and
forsaking their homes and agricul-
tural pursuits. Instead of utter fail
ure, loss and defeat, we tried to show
that drought years may be really
turned into gain and victory"

Right Up at the Top.

Lew Pease, the we'll known insur-
ance man of Leon is feeling pretty
good over notice he received last
week from the. Farmers Insurance
Co., of Cedar Rapids, which the
Pease agency represents in Decatur
county, informing him that out of
total of over 500 agents he stood
in eighth place among the list of
agents who. wrote the greatest
amount of business during the past
year, and the company writes that
they are greatly pleased with the
business and the manner in which it
is handled by the Pease agency.
During the year 1911 the company
did the largest business in it's history,
and the Pease agency did it's full
share in the way of increased busi-
ness. They are insurance hustlers
and always please their patrons.

Meetings at Presbyterian Church
Postponed.

On account of the difficulty in
keeping the church comfortable the
series of meetings at the Presbyter-
ian church were postponed to COM
mence again the first Sabbath in
February. Considerable interest has
already been awakened by Gods
Holy Spirit and we urge Gods people
to pray for such an outpouring of his
Spirit on Leon and her dear people
which will be remembered for many
years and whose results will bring
at last many precious souls into the
joys of heaven. Sin is the horrible
monster that curses the earth. Christ
Jesus is the only Savior from sin.
May many hearts open the doors
long barred against his entrance and
a new day will begin for you.
Short is the triumph OF evil;
Long is the reign of right.
The men who win by aid of sin,
The trickster, the knave, the thief,
My thrive for time
On the fruits of crime.
But their seeming success is brief.

The deep snow and severe cold

who know of any quail or partridges
in their vicinity are requested to
throw out little feed for the birds,
and If they desire to make any charge

The Great UnWashed and Unterri-
fed Democracy met here last week,
set the dove of peace on a pedestal,
chased the dogs of war down the
avenue, wined and dined in harmony,
and selected June 25 at Baltimore
as the time and place for nominating
the next president of the United
States. Instead of the expected
clash between William Jennings
Bryan and Woodrow Wilson over the
Joline letter, those two eminent
leaders felicitated each other and
gave no sign of anything but mutual
esteem, to the great disappointment
and chagrin of grinningly expect
ant opposition. The ovation given
to Mr.. Wilson, the cordial reception
al of him by the Peerless One sup
boisterous sensation looked for.
Throughout the banquet Mr.. Bryan
showed by his actions that he favors
the candidacy of the New Jersey
man, but he did not commit himself
in words.
The selection of Baltimore re-
quired but two ballots, St. Louis be-
ing the only city to develope any
real opposition. With her proffer
of a certified check for 100000,
ample hotel facilities, and an ade-
quate auditorium, however, the
Monumental city took the lead over
her rivals from the start. While
this choice of a meeting place is no
doubt acceptable to the faithful of
the east, enabling them to save large
chunks of money in travelling ex-
penses, still this consideration did
not seem to enter into the matter,
for Baltimore received the votes of
Iowa and many other western states.
