Goes to Naval Academy for Final
Examination.

Charles l.. Riley, of Decatur City,
who was named as one OF the candl-
dates for appointment as a cadet at
the United States Military Academy,
at Annapolis, Md, will leave this
week for that city to take the hnal
physical examination required, and II
he passes this he will be admitted as
a cadet at once. Charles was one of
the successful young men yhO passed
the preliminary examination for ap-
pointment, and then went to Des
Moines where he took the mental ex-
animation on April Is, 16' and II.
There were only three or all the can
didates from the state of Iowa who
passed this examination, and only
forty-two in the United States. A
press dispatch from Annapolis last
week says the percentage OF failures
this year has been so greatly in ex-
cess of what had been expected that
it has been found advisable to hold
a third mental examination in June
at which other youths will be given
a chance to qualify for this service.
Being one of the three Iowa lads
who passed the mental examination,
Charles is practically assured of be-
ing appointed, as he is in fine physi-
cal condition, and this examination
is all that stands between him and
the appointment. His many friends
in this county will be pleased to hear
OF his success and confidently expect
to soon receive word that he is en-
rolled as a naval cadet.

PAVING IS ORDf RED
CITY Council Orders Paving on Main,
Commercial and Church Streets
and Around Public Square.

The first steps have been taken to
start the long delayed and much
needed paving of the streets of Leon,
as will be seen by the minutes OF the
city council and the resolution OF
necessity, which was adopted by the
city council on Monday evening, and
published in this issue of The Re
porter. The council first passed a
resolution Thursday evening, order
ing paving only around the public
square and south on Main street to
the top of the depot hill, but there
was considerable opposition to just
paving on south Main street, and a
part of the councilmen who are in
favor of paving voted against this
resolution for the reason that all
parts of the city should be treated
alike and the paving extended in all
directions from the business center.
On Monday evening meeting OF the
council was held and their former
action reconsidered, the result being
that the resolution was amended so
as to include not only south Main
street, but north from the square to
Dr. Woodmansee S corner, thence
west one block and north on Church
street to the north city limits. Com
mercial street was also included, the
paving to extend from three blocks
west of Main street to three blocks
east of Main street, and on this prop
-osition the entire council got to-
gether and the resolution was passed
by a unanimous vote OF all the coun-
Gil. Their action seems to meet with
the approval of practically all OF our
citizens, and it is right and just.
Public improvements like paving
should extend in all directions, not
just to take in one certain section.
And since the change was made
some who were opposing paving are
now supporting it heartily. In fact
there is not a great deal of opposi-
tion to the paving and it is growing
less every day. The people begin
to realize that paving must come and
that it might just as we'll be COM
menced right now as to put 1t OH.
The city council should be COM
mended and supported in this matter.
1T is not a personal matter with them.
They are working for the best inter-
ests of Leon. Let everyone do as
much and you will see a big change
in Leon OF course paving will cost
some money, and so did permanent
sidewalks, but no one would think
of going back to the days of old
board walks. And Just SO with the
streets. After the paving is put
down everybody Will fs be mighty
proud OF the Improvement, and it
will be the starting Of many private
improvements in our city.

TWO BOYS ARE SHOT
nershel nouk of Pleasanton Loses
RIGHT Arm and Okla Johnson of
Woodland a FINGER. 81

Two boys in Decatur county were
MANNED for life by the accidental dis
charge of their shot guns the past
week, and one of them loses his hand
and the other one his finger.
Hershall Houk, young lad about
fourteen years of age, who resides
with his aunt, Mrs. Henry Houk,
near Pleasanton, went to the river
last Friday fishing and took his shot
gun with him. He was sitting on
the river bank and had the gun lying
beside him when he took hold of the
barrel to move the gun and it was
in some manner discharged, the load
striking him in the palm of the right
hand and ranging upwards, tearing
the flesh and muscle out and injur-
ing the bones of his wrist Some of
the shot also lodged in his side but
did not int1ict dangerous wounds.
The boy was brought to the Leon
hospital where he was given medical
attention. On Tuesday it was found
necessary, to amputate his arm just
below the elbow, and grave fears are
entertained that it will be necessary
to again amputate the arm at the
shoulder in order to save his life.
The second accident occurred Mon
day afternoon. Okla, the youngest
SON Of Mr.. and Mrs George Johnson,
who live S1a miles southeast of
Woodland, was out hunting near his
home. He was carrying his shot gun
by the barrel with his finger in the
end of the barrel when the trigger
caught on some branches and the
gun was discharged, tearing off the
end of his finger. DR.: c. E. Lovett,
of Woodland, was called at once and
found it necessary to amputate the
third finger on the left hand at the
second joint. 1t was an unfortunate
accident for Oka,z but. his many
friends are glad it was no worse.
Too many parents are entirely too
careless in allowing their children to
carry firearms, and it is to be hoped
that these two accidents happening
within a few days will have a tend
ency to make them more cautious.

Special at the Idle Hour Next Mon-

The popular Idle Hour theatre has
secured another two reel special fea-
ture for next Monday evening when
"The Reincarnation of Karma" will
be presented, and it is an attraction
which you should not miss seeing.
The story of the play is that during
the early Christian era, Karma, a
very spiritual and virtuous High
Priest of the Temple of India, resists
with all his religious fervor, Quine-
trea, beautiful and fascinating en-
chantress. Quinetrea eventually
conquers him and Karma falls vic
tim to her wiles She triumphantly
taunts him, and outraged at her
cruel deception, Karma curses her,
and Quinetrea is transformed into a
huge snake. Fifteen hundred years
later, Karma appears, reincarnated
in the personality of Leslie Adams
and loves the beautiful heiress, Lii
liam White. Together they visit the
ancient Temple of karma' and are
shown the reptile, which every hun
dred years resumes human form.
While Leslie gazes fascinated, the
snake uncoils and Quinetrea stands
before him in all her bewitching
charm. She holds him with her hyp-
motto power and forces him to accept
an amulet for his betrothed, upon
receiving which Lillian falls dead.
Karma beholds a vision of his former
self as High Priest, again curses
Quinetrea, and drops dead across
the PROSTATE body Of his betrothed.
