THE Rosary"

The following is the story Of The
Rosary" which comes to the opera
house next Thursday, Feb. ~. *.
Bruce Wilton has amassed for
tune which he has lavished on his
wife, Vera. ,a
Their household is a happy one
but into it creeps note of menace:
No one hears it at first save Father
Kelly, priest, the former tutor of
Bruce. Quietly he goes to work with
his sharpened sense to find the per-
son who is causing the adverse in
fluence in the household. Almost on
the verge of discovering same,
calamity descends upon the Wilton
house. Bruce's fortune is swept
away, and in such manner that he
believes his wife the cause of his
ruin.
Husband and wife are separated.
the home is destroyed and yet the
cause of all this disaster is unknown.
Father Kelly, with faith that
moves mountains, goes on quietly.
serenely and confidently with but one
purpose in view, the happiness OF
those he loves.
He solves the mystery and let's
the white light of truth into the
minds that have been darkened bs
evil.
More than this, he finds the one
who has caused. the misery and re-
stores the home.

Clarence l.. Lamb Died Friday.

Clarence L. Lamb, who was tele
graph operator in this city twenty
five years ago, died at his home in
Red Oak last Friday morning, his
death following an illness of only a
few days with pneumonia. Mr.. Lamb
after leaving Leon held positions as
operator at various stations on tile
main line of the Burlington, but for
the past few ears he held the posi-
ton of general chairman of the
grievance committee of the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers for the entire
Burlington system, and his time was
entirely occupied with this work.
Mr.. Lamb was also a prominent
worker in the K. P. lodge and en-
joyed the friendship and esteem OF
many friends along the entire Bur-
lington system. His funeral was held
at Murray, his old home on Monday.

Bradshaw Goes to Alaska Is 4
Missionary.

Rev. e. N. Bradshaw. who has
been pastor of the Presbyterian
church in this city for the past two
years, recently resigned his pasto1-
ate, having been appointed by the
Presbyterian Boardsof Home lffssioEs
of New York City, as general mis-
sionary to the interior OF Alaska
The appointment is a very desirable
one, and is quite promotion in
church work. Rev. Bradshaw viii!
have his headquarters at Ruby, Alas
ka, a mining town of $500, whicn
is down the Yukon $40 miles from
Fairbanks, and there are about 500
people within a distance of 40 miles
of Ruby, and he will be the only
missionary in charge of church work
in the entire district. In order tc
reach Ruby it will be necessary t.
travel about 700 miles by dog team.
Rev. Bradshaw is deeply interested
in missionary work, and has had
the change under consideration for
some time. He is a very sincere
christian worker, and we trust that
he will enjoy the new life in the far
northwest. He left Tuesday for Ft.
Worth, Texas, where Mrs. Bradshaw
and sen Frank have been visiting for
several weeks, and after a few days
visit there, with his family will leave
for the long trip to Alaska. Rev.
Bradshaw has promised to write The
Reporter a letter telling of their trip
to Alaska and the conditions as he
finds them SO far away from home.
The Bradshaw family made maay
warm friends during their residence
IN Leon.

TWO RAILROAD FIRES
Depot at Van Vert Burned Thurs
day Morning and the Davis City
Coal Chutes Sunday Evening.

The Burlington railroad company
has been particularly unfortunate IN
having depots and other structures
destroyed by fire recently, and the
past week they had two destructive
fires in this county, the depot at
Van Vert beng burned Thursday
morning and the big coal chutes at
Davis City burning Sunday night.
The Van Vert depot was discover
ed on fire about o'clock last Thurs
day morning and the fire had gained
such headway when discovered that.
nothing at all was saved from the
depot, there being considerable
freight stored in the depot at the
time. The origin of the fire is un-.
known. The destruction of the de-
pot makes it difficult to handle the
large amount of transfer business
done at Van Vert, and a string OF
box cars is being used for depot.
1t is reported that the railroad offic-
ials are trying to arrange a change
in their tracks which now run
through the center of the town. NOV
ing them to the north, and if this
is done it will probably change the
location of the depot. A number OF

changes.
The big coal chutes at Davis City
were destroyed b: fire which was dis
covered about half past eight O'Clock
Sunday evening, and the entire struc-
ture together with several coal cars
which were up in the chutes ready to
be unloaded were burned. 1t is re-
ported that the fire which destroyed
the chutes was of an incendiary orr
gin, as there had been no train at
Davis City after the north bound pas
senger train Sunday :. afternoon.
which passed Davis City. at 2:1S p.
N. When the fire was discovered the
whole cast end Of the structure was
q mass of blaze and nothing could
be done but watch it burn. Three OF
the burned coal cars we're steel cars
loaded with so tons of coal each and
the coal burned for several days.
1t is barely possible that the COO!
chutes may not be rebuilt at DAVIS
City, as railroad men tell us that 1t
would be much more convenient for
the engines if the chutes were 10
Gated at Leon, SO as to be available
for both the Charlton and Des
aioines branch trains. The fire causes
considerable inconvenience to the
train crews, as every train passing
took coal at the Davis City chutes.

Unfortunate Remark.

Thomas Nelson Page remarked
ON the occasion of organs accept
.ance of the secretaryship in the state
department that the state portfolio,
when grave and consequential for
eign problems arise, the president
must hold himself . The remark
was unfortunate, considering that
he is about to embark on diplo-
matte career. under the direct direc-
ton of rMr. Bryan. His statement
has been justified, however, by the
fact that Wilson has taken personal
charge of the imbroglio with Japan
over California land legislation
