State Highway Commission Here.

H. c. Beard, of Mt. Ayr, men,
ber of the state highway commission,
was in Leon last Friday, meeting
with engineer Malette, the board Of
supervisors and Supt. Card of the
Burlington railway, in regard to a
contemplated change in the road at
the underground crossing on the
Leon and Garden Grove road north
east of Crown. There is bad grade
crossing and an underground cross
ing at this place, and it is proposed
to change the road so as to cut out
the two crossings, by running the
road along the south side of the
railroad tracks from the grade cross
ing to a point just east of the cross
ing under the bridge. The plan
was approved by all, and the change
will necessitate the use of perhaps
"a half acre of the land owned by
Simon Goodman. 1t is proposed that
the county stand half of the expense
and the railroad company the other
half of the expense in making the
change, and it is thought the change
will be made this fall, if a settle
ment can be made with Mr.. Good
man for his land. If it has to be
condemned it may delay the change
until next spring.

New Manager at Swift s Co.'S Plant.

Mr.. J. P. Barrett, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, arrived last week and relieved
Mr.. J. B. McEndree as manager of
Swift & Co.'s big plant in this city,
Mr.. McEndree having rendered his
resignation some weeks ago, as he
had arranged to engage in the poultry
and produce business for himself at
Marshalltown, having formed part
nership with several parties. The
new firm will have ample capital to
carry on an extensive business, and
they could not have selected better
man for the position of manager of
the new establishment Mr.. McEn-
dree he's for number of years been
a resident of Leon, and has establish
ed a splendid reputation as manager
of the Swift plant in this city. He
is a fine gentleman who knows the
poultry and produce business from A
td 2, and everybody here regrets to
see him and his family leave Leon.
We commend them to the good peo-
pie of Marshalltown as most desirable
additions to the population of that
city. The family will move to Mar
shalltown in the near future. and the
new firm of which Mr.. McEndree is
manager and part owner Is now pre-
pairing to commence business.

to his locating in Decatur county:
l.. P. Hastings, of Leon, is candi-

or for Decatur county. Luther is on
the democratic ticket, but this is no
reason why he should not receive the
vote of every republican who knows

!crat. Mr.. Hastings formerly resided
here and no better citizen ever laft.

surely make no mistake by voting
for Luther p. Hastings for super

KILLED BY the TRAIN
John Steen, atfarmer q Living Near
Dekalb, Killed While Enroute to
his Home tuesday Evening.

John Steen, a young farmer about
thirty years af age, was killed by the
evening passenger train near DeKalb
Monday evening, his body being hor-
ribly mangled. Steen, who resided
on one of Col. Hepburn's farms near
Dekalb, attended the West sale near
Dekalb Monday. He then went to
DeKalb, where he met some boon
companions, an agent was sent to Van
Vert on the afternoon train for
liquor, and he was badly intoxicated
when he started for his home about
in the evening. The east bound pas
senger train which is due at DeKalb
few minutes after 6 o'clock was
about thirty minutes late, and this
is the train which evidently killed
Steen, although the train crew did
not know they had struck man
until they passed through DeKalb
Tuesday morning. Steen had started
up the track towards his home, and
had either laid down on the track or
was trying to get off the track when
the train struck him. Tuesday
morning when the section men start
ed out from DeKalb they found his
lifeless body beside the track, both
legs having been cut off by the cars,
his body lying on the dump outside
the rails. Coroner Layton was noti-
fed and went out and viewed the re-
mains, but decided it was not neces-
sary to hold an inquest, as the cir
cumstances of his death were we'll
known, and there was no suspicion
of foul play. The deceased leaves a
wife and one child.

man, and everybody will agree with
him. A special attraction at the

thrilling picture of the day. 1t shows
spectacular battles in the clouds be-
tween the war balloons, the blowing

Throughout the picture is woven a
story of love which is blighted by
the death of the girls lover. The
pictures are hand colored, and are
produced by the Eclectic Film Co., of
New York City. Owing to the great
expense in securing this special fea-
ture picture, prices will be 10 and Is

Water win be Shut of Next Week,

Better get out. your tubs and bar
rels and fll them with water il you
are depending on city water, for the
water will be shut of next Tuesday
morning for several days while the
big water tank is, being cleaned and
Epainted on; the inside. Water will
soon rust out steel tank unless it Is
kept cleaned and painted, and the
water committee has decided to clean
and paint the big tank. You can do
your washing with city water next
Monday, but it will be shut of Tues
day, so make your preparations to
be without city; water for several
days. Chas. Coffin has taken the con-
tract to paint the inside of the big
tank and the work will be rushed as
rapidly as possible, and the water
turned on as quick as the work is
completed. 1t is better to be with
out city water for few days now
than to be shut off for an indefinite
period next winter.

Engine Derailed.

The noon passenger train from
Charlton met with an accident which
delayed it an hour in this city last
Friday. The COW catcher of the
engine dropped down too low and
caught the planks in the cemetery
road crossing, tearing them up and
catching them under the engine. The
train was coming down the hill at a
pretty stiff pace and the front trucks
Of the engine. went off the tracks and
bumped over the ties until the train
reached the Commercial street cross
ing before it could be stopped. The
cow catcher was demolished, and was
taken off the engine, and after the
trucks were replaced the train went
on to st. Joe, about an hour late.

Mother of G. Il. Price Injured.

The following account of an acci-
dent which befell Mrs. A. B. Price,
mother of G.. 3. Price, the north side
clothing merchant, is taken from the
Albany Ledger of last week:
The family of A. B. Price had a
big scare at their home during the
early hours of yesterday morning,
and as result mrs. Price is suffer-
ing from broken wrist and severe
wrenches and bruises on the body.
Fortunately, her injuries will not
result seriously. Mr.. Price has been
doing some extensive improving at
lls home, among which is to be the
addition OF, q hot water heating plant
The men engaged to do the work
arrived over the Wabash, which was
late, and instead of makingSa double
move, had their trunks and chests
unloaded at the Price home. It was
the unloading of the baggage that
aroused some of the household, who
saw three men apparently 60 around
the house. At that time of night,
such proceedings are unusual, to say
the least, and it was naturally sup
posed they were burglars. Mrs.
Price lost her way in the upstairs,
and walked into the stairway, falling
the entire length, and injnring her
considerably The husband and son
heard her scream and thought she
had been caught by burglar. After
the situation was cleared the family
breathed easier, although. 1t is an
experience they do not care to have
again. Mrs. Price is resting we'll
today.

A Proclamation.

BY the Governor of the State of
Iowa.
We have on file proclamation
issued by Governor Clark in which
he prorlaims that Friday, Ortober 8,
1914, be known as Fire Prevention
Day, this date being the anniversary
of the Great Chicago Fire.
In calling the attention of the peO-
pie to the enormous fire loss and
waste incurred because of negligence
and recklessness, he recommends
this day be observed by public meet
ings for the discussion of hazards to
life and property by fire, for en-
phasizing individual responsibility
for fires, for considering the ques-
tions of water supply and fire depart
ment, and for general appeal to
the people to examine the condition
of their premises and to use the
greatest care possible to prevent
fires.
Signed and Great Seal of the
State Of Iowa affixed the 18th day
of September, 1914.
G. w. Clark,
Governor.
Our Fire Department is being held
up IN eLHclency IN both personnel
and apparatus and the city water
department is and has been main
tanned in the best possible condition
under supervision of the water works
commission and if the individual will
exercise an equal amount of care
and interest in looking to the con-
diticn of his smoke pipes and f1ues,
use ordinary horse sense in handling
gasoline, kerosene and other inflam-
mable substance, keep matches from
the irresponsible child, and if those
who smoke the weed would use the
same precaution we would impose
on the child our fire loss would,
without o doubt, be less and the
whole people would be benefited
thereby. Commence now to be care
