What Paving Will Do.

The Alton Star-Enterprise gives it's
readers the following facts in regard
to what modern improvements will
do for the property owners of any
town: "The value of your property
depends altogether on the town it is
located in A lady in Alton recently
sold her place for about $1,000. She
bought in Creston. The place she
bought is no better than the Alton
property, yet it cost her $4,000.
Why? Because Creston has modern
improvements. Property in the little
city of Corning three years ago was
worth about the same as it..siss4sin
'Arr0n to-day. Since they have paved
the streets and made others modern
improvements it is not uncommon
for a good vacant lot to sell at ST.
900. A property which sold there
three years ago for s1,S00 was sold
about two months ago for $4,000. An
Alton gentleman who was investi-
eating the cost of property in Osce-
ola recently, was asked s1,40O for
a vacant lot What is true of
these towns would be true of Alton
if our city improvements were equal
to theirs. Census reports for the
past ten years show that the popula-
tion of the smaller cities and towns
have decreased while the larger
cities increased Country people
flocked to the larger cities because
they thought there was something to
live for-something to see-some-
thing in the way of accommodations
that the country did not afford"

Appraised Damages.

BY agreement of the Leon Com
mercial Club and the land owners, a
board of appraisers consisting of c..
w. Barr, e. Housh and F. L. Hall ap-
praised the damages to the land own
ers which would result in case it
was decided to change the road to
run around Dynamite Hill west of
Leon. The appraisers viewed the
land Monday and reported that the
damages would be as follows:
s. E. Benefiel, S248.25 and SIS
per acre for the growing crop on the
land which would be used for a new
road. ~ T. 'st'
Ed Rumley, s33s.60 and SIS per
acre for this years crop. ~;
VIM. Anderson, $40.
1t is reported that neither side is
entirely satisfied, and as there was
no agreement that they would abide
by the decision of the appraisers,
there has been nothing done def
nitely in the matter. >

Married Fifty Years.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Pickering of
this city, reached that enviable mile
stone, the fiftieth anniversary of
their wedding, on Saturday, May IL.
They were married in Marion coun-
ty, Ohio, May II, 1868. Mrs. Pick
Burnison They came west in 1865
Burninson They came west in 1865
and located in Leon and have resid-
ed IN this city for fors ights years
Mr.. Pickering was for many years
engaged IN the smithing business in
Leon, but for number of years has
been the janitor. of the court house
in Leon. Ten children were born
to, them, five having passed away, the
surviving children being Lee, Frank
and Clyde Pickering, of Leon, Mrs.
Harry Crago, of Garden Grove, and
Mrs. Hal Gates, of Sterling, Illinois

Barn Burned.

The barn on the John A. Adair
farm, one mile south of Woodland,
was totally destroyed by fire about
2:3O, Monday afternoon. together
with fine black stallion and con-
tents of the barn. 1t is supposed it
was struck by lightning and was all
ablaze before discovered. Mrs.
Adair made an effort to reach the
stall of the stallion, but was over
come by smoke and was compelled to
crawl from the building. At first
lit was thought the youngest son was
in the barn but he had gone to the
field a while before. A strange CO.
incidence is the fact that exactly two
years ago, on lay 49,, 1911, barn
belonging to Mr.. Adair on the same
site and same foundation was struck
by lightning and burned and. this
same stallion and seven or eight
head Of horses were in the barn but
were all rescued. We understand
there is $500 insurance on the barn
and $425 carried on. the contents
and horse. Nevertheless, Mr.. Adair
will lose large amount, as there
was about five tons of hay, 500 bush
els of corn, so bushels of oats, two
good buggies, some harness and sew
eral piece of machiney destroyed.

shortly start on an engagement as
director Of Tolomeo's Royal Italian
Band and Grand Opera Company,
which will appear on the Chautau-
qua circuit of the Jefries Wick

fore whom they appear. The Sey-
mour Leader Of last week contains
the following: E@

Grand Opera Company will start
from here on twelve weeks tour
in the main cities of Iowa and Wis

italian artists of worldwide fame
Signor Tolomeo, the conductor of
the company, was here to make ar
,rangements with Mr.. Merritt, man
ager of the opera house and to re-
hearse six or seven of our own Ital-
ian musicians with the. view of secur-
ing them for his band which needed
that number to make up the reQuir-
ed magnitude.
This company has been engaged
by the Jeffries-Wick Chautauqua
System of Des Moines to give a SER
les of concerts during the Chautau-
qua season. -, T.
The full company and band is e1-
pected to be here on the 14th of

ing him that he had passed his final

Church People Gave = Reception.

There was a jolly crowd of Leon
people assemblco at the dining room
of the M. E. church Monday evening
when a surprise picnic supper was
served in honor of Rev. Fansher and
his bride, who arrived from Chicago
last Friday. The tables were all
filled and my, what good things
there was to eat. All who attended
were requested to bring Is pennies
with them and these amounted to
1875 which was placed in a box and
presented to Rev. and Mrs. Fansher
on behalf of the church people, by
Mrs. Marion F. Stookey, in very
neat little speech, which was re
sponded to by Rev. Fansher. Mrs,
c. H. Mitchell then told Of how much
the church and especially the Sum
day school were indebted to Miss
Ethel Fansher, and presented her
with a box of sweets. Mrs. T. S.SAr-
mold on behalf of the Guild also sex-
pressed their sorrow that she was to
leave as they appreciated her work.
It was a very enjoyable evening and
one which was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present. ~

COMING NEXT TUESDAY
Burlington Jebbers and fisCher's S
Famous Band will Visit Lem on
Next tuesday Evening.

The Wholesale dealers, jobbers
and, manufacturers of Burlington
have arranged for a Trade Extens-
sion Trip" over the Burlington lines
in southern Iowa and northern Mis-
souri,, and will be in Leon over
night next Tuesday, arriving with
their special train at 1920 in the ev-
ening and remaining in this city
over night They will be accompan-
led by the famous Fischer's Burling-
ton band, a company of excellent
musician, who will render full ev-
ening concert in the band stand, so
that Leon will enjoy treat over the
other towns where stops ranging
from five minutes to half an hour are
made.
The party will consist of seventy
five business representatives of Bur-
lington and will travel in a special
train made up of three Pullman
sleepers, Burlington dining car, a
club and baggage car combined, and
a Burlington private car. The jour
ney Of the special train will be 1926
miles in extent and sixty towns in
Iowa and Missouri will be visited. It
is not an "order taking trip" but a
get acquainted" trip and visiting
will be the order of procedure at
every step. .'
Leon will extend a cordial well
come to the visitors. Many of our
merchants buy goods from Burling-
ton wholesale houses and the trip
will give the heads of these houses
an opportunity of getting acquainted
with the live merchants of Leon.
The splendid band concert will be a
treat and Leon people love music,
and they will be out in full force.

pointed committees to look after the

BURLINGTON PLANS NEW LINE.
Will Build Cut OF from lndianOla to
NOrwalk and Make Through
Line to Kansas City.

Ever since the Rock Island COM
menced building their new Kansas
City cutoff from Des Moines to Al
lerton, which will shortly be in oper-
alton, it has been predicted that the
Burlington would build connect
ing link from Indianola to Des
| Moines in order to compete with the
| Rock Island, and now, they have
announced that it will be done this
year, and the civil engineers are now
at work on the line. The new line
would be of considerable benefit to
Leon in the way of service and will
probably result in through day and
night passenger trains between Des
Moines and Kansas City running
through Leon.
The Des Moines Register and
Leader in speaking of the new line
says:
Relibale information has been re-
ceived by the Commercial Club to
way will bring another road into Des
Moines within the next year. The
new line will reach Des Moines via
Indianola and NorWalk
Engineers for the Burlington are

nine miles of new road between In
dianola and Norwalk. The proposed
road will connect the branch lines
extending north from the main line
at Charlton through Oakley, Lacona,
Milo and Ackworth with the branch
line extending into Des Moines from
Osceola through New Virginia, st.
Mary's and Norwalk
The additional line will give the
Burlington a line fifty-three miles
long from Burlington to Charlton
and connecting with the main line
twenty-five miles east of Osceola,
which is flfty-two miles by rail from
Des Moines as against the present
mileage Of sixty-eight miles to Abba.
At Charlton the new line will CON
meet with the Kansas City branch of
the Burlington, extending southwest
through Leon. This will give total
mileage Of 1877 miles between Des
Moines and St. Joseph.
The completion of the line will be
followed by the establishment of
through freight and passenger ser
vice from Des Moines to Kansas City
via Charlton. In all probability it.
will bring the Burlington into Des
Moines as competitor for Chicago
and Denver passenger business:

OFFERS TO SHARE REUNION
EXPENSE. .
Capt. Brown, of Leon, to Join Hold
~, t Over Senators.

Capt. John D. Brown, of Leon, De-
partment Commander of the Iowa G
A. R., and former senator from De-
catur county, said yesterday that he
wanted to go in with the hOldover
senators to raise the money needed
for the Gettysburg veterans, says the
Saturday Register and Leader. Cap
tain Brown said that the governor
and attorney general are willing to
sign the note, too. ...
II put my name on $4,000 note
for the state several years ago." he
said. II am not afraid about Iowa
standing back of the note"
Captain Brown called on DR.. Geo.
A. Newman They discussed mat
ters pertaining to the homecoming
and encampment.
DR.. Newman took exceptions at a
letter from H. R. Moore, which was
printed in The Register and Leader
yesterday.
81 am glad that Mr.. Moore is so
fixed financially that he does not
need to participate in the appropria-
tiOn,' DR.. Newman said. But he
should remember that many of the
old boys have nothing except their
pension. And they cannot afford to
spend $44.50 of that for railroad
fare to a reunion.
The Gettysburg reunion is ma
tional affair. 1t is being held to
observe the anniversary of the battle
in which the fate of the nation was
at stake. This battle marked the
turning of the tide. Some one battle
had to be selected for such a cele-
bration. Certainly there was no
other battle that would have been
better"

Marjorie Pauline Marvin.

Last Monday morning after an
eight day illness of whooping cough
and pneumonia, Marjorie Pauline
Marvin, the baby daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. R. L. Marvin, died aged one
year and five days. Mr. and Mrs.
Marvin have twice before suffered a
similar loss. They have the heart
felt sympathy of the community in
their sad bereavement.
Funeral services were held Tues
day at $3.50 in the. afternoon at the
home Rev. G.. ]. Fansher conduct
ed the services. A mixed quartette
sang two numbers. The house was
filled with sympathizing friends and
relatives, and many went also to the
Leon cemetery where the little body
was laid to- rest.

County Highways and Em-
DlOyed County Engineer.

The board Of supervisors met in
special session last Thursday and
Friday for the purpose of employing
county engineer and designating
the county highways under the new
road law which is now in force.
The board contracted with Frank
Mallette, of Garden Grove, to serve
as county engineer for the period of
one year at salary of $3.50 per
year and expenses. q They could not
have made a better selection. Mr..
Mallette is competent engineer
with experience, and a hard Work-
ing, conscientious young man. We
will expect to see him do good work
as county highway engineer.
The board also designated the
county highways as required by law,
selecting about 165 miles of high
way, the highways selected being
shown in the official proceeding pub
lished on page of this issue. It
was pretty hard matter for the
board to make the selection, as they
were limited to Is per cent of the
total number of miles of highways
in the county, and several roads
which they would have liked to Sc
lect were omitted on this account:
The official selection is published
today and the notice of the county
auditor that objections may be filed
to any of the roads selected, and
the board will meet again on Mon
day June End, to consider objections
and changes which may be petition
ed for, and there will probably be a
number of petitions on file. There
was quite a strong contest made by
parties residing west of Decatur City
over the designation Of the road west
Of Decatur City. Several parties
contended that the Golfer Cut-Off
should be selected, but the board
named the road running west, which
crosses Grand River at the Wood
mansee bridge. The Golfer Cut-Off
is a mighty fine road, and Mr.. Golfer
aud others have done great deal of
work on it, and many believe that it
is the best road and should have
been selected The matter will be
threshed out again before the board
when the petition is filed objecting
to this road not being selected as
q county highway.
