TWO BATTLESHIPS
OFF FOR MEXICO
Louisiana and New Hampshire to
Vera Cruz to Guard
Foreigners.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Two Ameri-
can battleships, the Louisiana and
New Hampshire, sailed tonight from
Newport for Vera Cruz in response to
an urgent request from Commander
lMcNamee that his little fleet of gun
boats be reinforced in view of anti
foreign demonstrations at Gen. Car
ranza's capital.
1t was understood :ere that Presi-
dent Wilson ordered the warships sent,
although no official would admit that
they had sailed. Care had been taken
during the day to point out that any
naval or military activity now only
would be precautionary to safeguard
foreign interests and could not be con-
strued as connected with the Pan
American conference to be resumed in
New York tomorrow to complete a
program for bringing about peace in
Mexico.
Official reticence concerning the
of the battlesnips is due
largely to fear that news of their
coming reaching Vera Cruz ahead OF
the ships might accentuate tie already
serious situation there. Commander
McNamee cabled mis- request last night

MOVING PICTURE STAR
WAS AT FIRST A SINGER

Music was the first art which at
tracted Robert Warwick He studied
singing in Europe, but his voice went
back" on him and he turned to the
stage and made a success under David
Belasco and other great impresari.
Robert Warwick is product of the
West and dared much when he went
East to make good on tie New York
stage. This is one of his characteris-
tics, determination. 1t has carried
him through many hazardous enter
prises. For Bob as he is known to
his few intimates, is man of many
parts and activities.
When tie World Film offered him
the position of star, and the play Sc
lected for his film debut was George
Broadhurst's Man of the Hour" with
which William A. Brady had made so
striking a success, Robert Warwick's
life chance lad come. Under Maurice
Tourneur's mastery direction, Mr..
Warwick gave a delineation of the
leading role which instantly estab-
lished him as the best graced actor
on the motion picture screen, certainly
in the United tSates, probably in the
world.
"In "The Dollar Mark" Warwick
las to evidence some strenuous ath-
leticism; he risked mis- life in the
bursting of a mill dam. For the famous
picture, "Alias Jimmy Valentine" he
went and lived at Sing Sing in order
to get into the skin the part of the
convict who wanted to reform. The
same is true with ''Tlhe Man Who
Found Himself" the photo play he as
sumed next, and which will be the
offering by Manager Wells at tie opera
house on Tuesday, August II.
A more sincere, handsomer, more
polished actor you can not see on the
screen: Matinee idol" doesn't de-
scribe Warwick; he's man and a
mighty good one, at that.
Which describes his personality
Gentleman; scholar; sport; popular
ity despising, but popular in spite Of
it; such is Warwick.
He's just as nice off the screen as
on it. Married? He can pick and
choose, is so minded, for his mail is
crowded witt letters from adoring ad-
mirers of the other sex. But Warwick
knows his own mind and nobody else
does. He loves his work and doesn't
shirk it. He is conscientious and
thorough in his impersonation. He
acts first, last and all the time-every
instant he is on the film he is acting
with Tim mind, his heart and body.

He Called Her Down.

A choice bit of gossip has been go
ing the rounds for the past week. The
principal parties connected with the
affair are we'll known, which makes
the story all the more sensational. A
husband and wife are mixed up in the
scandal, and what makes it doubly
startling is the fact that each of
them has always had the entire re-
spect of the community AS mat
ter of fact a bomb exploded at the
home of this couple at the very mo-
ment at which there had arrived at
their house a party of twenty or
twenty-five of our best people who
had gone there to surprise the couple
on their wedding anniversary. Meth
er of the principals expected COM
pany. The establishment of the visi-
tors may be imagined when they
heard the husband call his wife down.
He made no bones of it. 1t was done
openly and without even a hint Of
apology to the guests The shocking
part of it is the fact that everyone,
even the closest friends of the couple
had no idea but that their home life
was ideal. Nevertheless, and we have
the best of authority for the story.
when the company arrived they were
met at the door by the astonished
husband. AS soon as the first greet
ings were over he said, My wife is
up stairs, / will call her down. And

passed through Leon from Eddyville
| to Omaha, was established.
In 1860, the population of Leon
| had sWelled to six hundred and
there had been some additions made
to the town plat.
In 1861, John Lee started a saloon
in the east part Of town but some Of
the women went there with hatchets,
axes and matches and persuaded him
not to stay.
During the war the town did not
grow much, although at no time has
there been shown decrease in the
population when the census has been
taken
From 1864 to 1868 school was
held in the Methodist church, but in
1868 new school house was built
on the ground where the north school
house now stands. Before this time
there had been no high school, but
by the time the new school building
was completed, Mr.. Frazier had pre-
pared and had adopted course of
study that required twelve years to
complete. There was but one in
'structor in the high school.
, Until this time the students had
stopped before having completed the
course of study, so it was not until
1871 that the first class graduated.
1t had but four members, Matilda
Jordan, S. A. Gates, r. w. Silvers
and A. l. Woodruff.
At the close of 1868 Leon had
five general stores, five family groc-
cries, two dry goods stores, one boot
and shoestore, two printing offices,
one harness shop, one jewellery store,
two milliners, three hotels, one liv
cry stable, two blacksmith shops,
one wagon shop, two furniture
stores, two land agencies, six law
firms. five physicians, two churches,
one school house, one Touring mill
and one WOODEN factory with the usu-
al proportion of mechanics of differ
ent kinds. Land sold from five to
fifteen dollars per lot, according to
the situation.
The first bank in Leon was the
First National Bank. 1t was estab-
lished in 1869. Five years later it
was sold to the Decatur County
Banking Association. The members
of the association were d. Stearns, A.
B. Stearns and L. P. Sigler. They
named the bank the Farmers T.
Traders Bank.
The population in 1870 was about
eight hundred and twenty. In 1871
the first railroad, the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy, was put through
here. 1t helped greatly to increase
the population.
From that time on Leon has added
many improvements and grown
steadily, although there has been no
sudden increase in the population.
