A TRIP OVER
THE COUNTY.
Eagle and Wabash Welcome the Jour
nal Representative Royally.
On Friday evening last while we were
preparing to take our departure from
Elmwood for home, it occurred to the
writer that he could not spend a half
day more pleasantly and profitably than
a visit to Wabash. So, instead of com
ing direct to Plattsmouth we dropped
ofT at that station, and wended our way
direct to the headquarters of our old
friend, Steve Hulfish, who met us with.
outstretched hands and gave us a cordial
greeting. Here we also met numerous
other friends, including George Towle
and Oscar Allen, both of whom live near
Wabash, and J. C. Brown, now man
ager of the Farmers' elevator, but who
has resigned the position, to take effect
September 1.
A MUCH NKf;i.(TKI
I'l.KASUKK RKSORT.
After a pleasant night's rest and
breakfast at the only well-kept hostelry
in the village, in company with Mr.
Hulfish we started out to view the sur
roundings. The first place we visited
was their once beautiful park, which at
one time was referred to with great
pride by every one, not only citizens of
the town, but by all the farmers in the
surrounding country for miles and miles,
On entering the grounds we were simply
amazed at the natural beauty, but like
entering the home of the untidy house
keeper, everywhere you could note that
no tidy hands had been at work upon
the grounds for some years. The large
hall was still there, but badly wrecked,
the bridges over the lake were still
there, but very shaky and dilapidated;
the band stand was rottening and crumb
ling away. There were a few boats
along the banks and in the boat house,
hut they bore the appearance of in
activity for years; stagnated and a
green scum hovered over the once clear
and healthy waters of the beautiful lake,
where so many delighted to spend a few
days or a few hours in social enjoyment
and enjoy the cool breezes that wafted
through the shady groves and a boat
ride upon the placid waters of the lake.
Here and there were many evidences
that "Ilk-hards' Park" was once one of
the most beautiful places upon the face
of the earth, which He who rules on
high made and gave us, that we might
enjoy the fruits of His production. We
stood agast, when told that this once
beautiful spot was now the property of
I.Ir. H. T. Richards, one of the wealth
iest men in the west part of Cass coun
ty, a gentleman who is nearing that age
when one begins to think that his time
on this mundane sphere is of but short
duration, and who should be thinking of
"what will the world say good of me af
ter I am no more on earth." Man can
leave a record behind him, let it be good,
bad or indifferent, but all, deep, down
in their own hearts, would prefer that
record could be pointed tothusly: "He
was a good man, there is a monument,
ever living to the memory of a good
man." Thus could be made of Rich
ards Park. It can be made a pleasure
resort, such as there is not in the state
of Nebraska. But why, we are unable
to fathom. What Shaw's garden i3 to
St. Louis, Richards' Park ought to be to
Wabash. Mr. Shaw died many years
ago, but the garden is still there in
memory of noble manhood and a gener
ous heart.
THE VILLAGE OK WABASH.
Not many years since Wabash con
tained more business houses than it does
today, and there is nearly as much busi
ness transacted as in former years.
They have been very unfortunate in
having several very disastrious fires,
from which it has been very hard to re
cover. The town proper is most beauti
fully located, the land sloping gradually
from the Missouri Pacific track, as far
back almost as the naked eye can see,
and surrounded by some of the most
beautiful country that eye of man ever
looked over. The town proper contains
two general stores, one drug and pro
vision store combined, one bank, a hotel,
three grain elevators, a pool hall, and
one of the largest and best equipped
lumber yards in Cass county. The resi
dence portion of the town has a bright,
fresh appearance, which denotes that
the residents are keeping pace with the
times.
All three of the elevators seemed to
be very busy taking in corn and other
grain. One is managed by a Mr. Ward;
one is owned by W. T. Richards, son of
H. T. Richards, and a mighty fine young
man. He was up to his eyes in busi
ness, and taking in grain as fast as he
could weigh it. The Farmers' elevator
is owned by a stock company of farmers
and has heen for sometime under the
management of our friend, J. C. Brown,
who will retire to his farm, near the
town, after September 1 .
The Farmers' State bank is well lo
cated in a nice little brick structure of
its own and well furnished for the busi
res. The genial cashier, J. M. Cream
er, fully understands the banking busi
ness and is very popular with its pat
rons. 0. O. Thomas is president of the
institution but having the utmost confi
dence in the capabilities of Mr. Cream
er, he confides all the business transac
tions to that gentleman. This bank is
one of the solid financial institutions of
Ca3s county and Mr. Creamer reports a
good business.
There is another business that would
be a credit to many towns of much larg
er proportions, and that is Wabash's
lumber yard. Recently a change was
made in its management. A. W. Bar
rett, one of the most genial, gentlemen
it has been the pleasure of ye scribe to
meet, has been in charge of the busi
ness for some weeks and he rejorts an
excellent patronage. We were inform
ed, not by Mr. Barrett, however, that
people came through adjoining towns to
Wabash to buy lumber. This certainly
speaks in will of the town as a busi
ness point. The sheds and yard are
ery comodious, and there is nothing in
the building material line that Mr. Bar
rett cannot provide. Being a genuine
business man and a thorough gentleman,
also, we cannot wonder at his large
trade.
While in thepasttherehas been many
drawbacks to the future of Wabash in
the way of conflagrations, we were
pleased to note that many improvements
have been made in the past year, and
we candidly believe that there is a bright
future for the town, notwithstanding it
is only four miles from each Elmwood
and Murdoek. . Its location is healthy,
the farmers surrounding are all well-to-do
and the siteamost beautiful one, and
we fail to see any reason why it should
not build up at least to the proportions
of its nearest neighbors. May prosper
ity attend the good people of Wabash,
will be the everlasting prayer of the
Journal.
Our stay in the village was somewhat
lengthened by our friend Steve Hulfish,
saying he would convey us across the
country to Murdoek if we would remain
until after dinner. Immediately after
partaking of dinner, Mr. Hulfish had
his horse and buggy ready for the trip,
and away we went, passing through
some of the finest farming country that
lies out of doors, and some of the finest
fields of corn we ever beheld. We un
derstood the hour for the arrival of the
train which we were to board was 3:00
o'clock, and we did not hurry very much
to get to Murdoek. Upon our arrival
we were told that the train was due at
1:30, and if we wanted to get out on the
only train that day, we had better light
out for the depot, as the train had al
ready whistled for town. We took a !
hop-step-and-a-jump for the depot and j
got there just in time. We didn't have
time to buy a ticket or bid Mr. Hulfish j
goodbye. j
In conclusion we want to say that
Steve Hulfish. as everybody knows him,
is one of the best fellows in the world.
He is a pioneer of that section of the
country and has lived in Wabash since
the day the town site' was established.
He has a stock of goods consisting of
drugs, notions, provisions, and a gener
al line of wall paper, paints, etc. He
is enjoying a good trade, as he deserves.
He is a rock-ribbed democrat, a good
friend of the Journal, and we desire to
return to him our most sincere thanks
for courtesies extend during our stay in
Wabash and conveying us to Murdoek.
May his shadow never grow less.
At the Village of Eagle.
We took a few hours off from the Elm
wood Thursday of last week and made
a run up to Eagle to visit a few hours
with our friends in that thriving burg.
The first thing we noticed in the way
of improvements was. George Oberle
with a lot of hands laying concrete walks
in front of his place of business. Mr.
Oberle is proprietor of the only saloon
in the town, and also owns a drug store,
George is one of the nicest men that
ever managed a saloon, and that is the
reason why he gets license in Eagle
every year without trouble.
We called upon our old friend. A. L.
McDonald, the hardware man, and found
him as jolly as ever. Besides dealing
in hardware and stoves he has a building
on the opposite side of the street, filled
with buggies and wagons. Mack is quite
popular with the farmers, and of course
does an immense business.
Dr. Jester happened to be in his of
fice when we called, and we spent a few
minutes very enjoyably. The doctor, it
will be remembered sold out some months
since and removed with his family to
Bethany, near Lincoln. But the de
mand for a first-class physician at Eagl
was so great, and his successor feeling
he was not giving satisfaction, Dr. Jes
ter, when the business was offered for
sale, returned and repurchased the same.
He now practices his profession in Eagle
while his family reside in Bethany, where
his children can have suitable education
al advantages. It is always a pleasure
to meet Dr. Jester, and we are glad he
has returned to Cass county.
Talk about your fine bank rooms, we
think Eagle has one of the finest for a
town of its size that we have ever come
across in recent years. We visited at
the bank and found both Mr. Reiter,
the president, and Mr. L. M. Mielenz,
the cashier, at home and willing to con
verse with us for a few moments. The
Reiters are old residents of the town,
while Mr. Mielenz is ayoung man, whose
former home is at Wahoo. While only
about 22 years of age, ha ha3 displayed
considerable ability, and bids fair to rise
in the financial world. The building oc
cupied by the bank is of brick, the ceil
ing high and the room in general, one of
tne nnest in ine lanu ior me uansing j
business, and has all the latest conveni-1
the finest in the land for the banking
ence for the safe keeping of money and
valuables M. Mielenz is a most genial
I young man and is very popular.
We also met our good friend, EdBetts,
vho is just a3 fat and sassy asever.and
if anything, more so. He has sold his
elevator since we were in Eagle before,
and seems to be taking life easy. Well
there are few better men then Ed Butts,
and he is always ready to greet his
friends, and especially speak a good
word for the Journal, which, as he says
be "swears by. "
We called at the Beacon office a few
moments, but as all hands were busy
working on the paper we did not tarry
but a short time. Mr. Brown, the new
man at the helm since our last visit.is a
young man of excellent qualities, is quite
popular with the business men and is giv
ing his patrons a good paper.
We met our old friend, T. R. Crabtree,
one of the rock ribbed democrats of that
section of Cass county, and always greets
us with a smilingcontenanceandahardy
shake of the hand.
We took dinner at the hotel kept by
C. P. Snyder, and the only one in the
town. Mr. Snyder truly understands
the business in which he i3 engaged, as
everything about the place presents a
neat appearance, and no one goes away
from this hostelry hungry. It is a pleas
ure to put up at this hotel.
Our time was short in Eagle, and
we did not see one-half the people we
wanted to, but as we expect to visit
again soon we shall endeavor then to
make up for all deficiencies. Eagle is
improving and many new concrete walks
are being put down, which shows that
the town is right up-to-date in this re
spect. It is an excellent business point
the people generally feel happy in the
fact that they live in such a pleasant
town. The business houses compare
favorably with towns generally the size
of Eagle, and the surrounding country
will average up with the best of farm
ing lands, and prosperity reigns supreme
in Eagle and vicinity.
The writer always delights in visiting
the place because he is always warmly
greeted and is well taken care of by the
hospitable citizens of the town.
WAS OUT TO KILL
Wave Allen Fills Up on
Whiskey and Goes
Gunning
Forgetting his good promises of the
past, and enjoying prosperity as the re
volt of selling a car load of junk at
Omaha, Wave Allen loaded up with
liquor, and with a plentiful stock to
tide him over a dry spell, returned home
to enjoy the .fruits of his labor.
Wave has a few personal friends (?)
here who interfered with him on a
previous occasion, and when he gets
full he remembers these pleasant com
panions by calling them all the vile
names he can think of.
To Judge P. S. Barnes he was par
ticularly abusive, and there is no doubt
but he intended to shoot him. He sent
his boy to the hardware store for a
revolver, but as the boy could not get
it, Wave went with the boy and told
them it was all right, the boy wanted
to practice with it. So they made the
purchase. Night Watch Ralston re
ceived word that Allen was after him,
and after the latter had driven around
the streets several times Ralsten went
up to the buggy and commenced talk
ing to him. In a little while Allen
started to drive off, but Ralston told
him to hold on. Allen reached for his
gun and Ralston jumped into the buggy
after him, and none too quick, for not
having time to shoot he struck Ralston
ki the face with it and cut two gashes
in his nose. After being choked, Allen's
revolver fell in the seat, and it was
loaded in every chamber. He then at
tempted to pull another from his hip
pocket, but his wind was shut off, and
the second gun, without a chamber in
it fell to the ground. In the buggy he
had a double barrel shotgun and a long
rusty sword. Allen's son was driving
the horse at the time.
Rev. I. C. Lemon came over, and
Allen was taken to jail, after unloading
his pockets of $66. Sheriff Quinton
was notified, as well as County Attor
ney Rawls. On Monday Mr. Ralston
took Allen over to Plattsmouth, and P.
S. Barnes and C. F. Chandler went
over as witnesses. Weeping Water

Off For Reunion
Garry Treat, of Weeping Water,
came over today via the Missouri Pacific.
He was on his way to Silver City, Iowa,
where a reunion of the old soldiers is
now taking place, and especially is he
interested in the hope of meeting his
old comrades of the 29th Iowa, of
which he was a member throughout
the entire war of the rebellion from
1861 to 1865, when he was musterd
out. This regiment has made an effort
to have all survivors present on this
occasion. Garry will meet the once
famous 29th both with sadness and with
joy. First, with sadness because of
the thinned ranks both by ravages of
war and the great Reaper, and joy to
once more grasp the hand of the sur
vivors, perhaps for the last
time on this earth. Take off your hats
to those old heroes.

A VERY DAN
GEROUS WEED
A New Pest Puis in Appear
ance in This Portion
Ot the State
The Auburn Republican says the al
falfa fields, clover patches and the mead
ows in this portion of the state are
greatly threatened with destruction by
a peculiar vegetable pest unless it is
promptly exterminated.
The weed in question is a slender vine
which is of the same thickness and na
ture as the tendrils of the grape vine.
It is of a redish brown color and a most
luxurant grower. The vinedoes not root
in the ground, but its seeds become fast
ened on the weeds, clover or sturdy grass
plants and grows from the stems of
these. When it gets a foothold the vine
spreads over the top of the grass, clover,
alfalfa, oats or wheat, and mats them
together in such a thick tangle that it is
utterly impossible for a mower to get
into the field so as to cut the crop.
After the plant gets to growing right
there is no known means of combatting
it, and the destruction and damage that
it does to the field of crop is something
beyond calculation.
The plant springs from seed. It bears
a small star shaped flower which matures
into a seed cup, and the seeds, when they
are ripe, are so light that they can be
carried for miles and miles in an ordinary
wind.
The pest was introduced in this coun
try from Hungaria, where the govern
ment has spent millions of dollars in the
last generation in its efforts to either
get lid of the pest or minimize its cam
age bringing propensities.
Unless the farmers get out and burn
the stuff up before it can get a foot
hold, and before it goes to seed, which
will be in a week or two, it is liable to
get possession of the whole country and
result in the destruction of the meadows
and all the hay land. One of its most
peculiar features is-that it will fasten
itself to shocked grain and will cover
the shocks so that it is almost impossi
ble to get them out of the tangle and it
is impossible to thresh the bundles.
If such a pest exists in Cass county,
the farmers should at once start the
work of exterminating the pest and if
necessary, county officials of counties in
this portion of Nebraska should lend as
sistance. Farmers who contemplate sowing al
falfa, clover, timothy and blue grass
should first know positively where their
seed comes from and whether it is en
tirely clear from the seed of this pest.
Cass county farmers cannot afford
to over look this fact of ascertain
ing the cleanliness of the seed to be
showed.
Married Last Evening
At the residence of J. E. Houlgate
last evening occurred the wedding of
Ralph Waldo Jackson and Miss Nellie
Stockton. After the ceremony they de
parted for Lincoln on the late Burling
ton train. At the train although they
were strangers in the city they were re
ceived by a shower of rice, and good
wishes which will always be a pleasing
thing to look back in their future lives
as happening in the old town of Platts
mouth. Hail Six Weeks Old
It may sound a little strange, the item
the Tribune gives each Tuesday telling
about R. L. Haynie bringing hail to
Glenwood on Saturdays. To show the
diversified climate and soil of Lyons
township he has brought along with his
produce a half bushel of hail each week
for the past four weeks. The hail fell
July the sixth, and each week before
starting he fills his pail from the drift
near his house Glenwood Tribune.
Oppose Primary Law
A Lincoln correspondent says :
is a loud clamor against the new
There
prim-
ary law, and some of the officials threaten
to have the law repealed at the next leg
islature. State Treasurer Brian predicts that
there will be a general lack of interest
at the primaries.
It has been reported that in some
counties there will be no opposition for
election in some of the offices, as in some
cases the republicans have no candidates
on the primary ballot and in others the
democrats have no candidates.
Back from Minnesota
Joseph Thompson, who went to Oto
wana, Minnesota, the first of the week
to look at land, returned this morning
and says that he thinks that a very fine
country. They have fine crops up there
this summer. "I was really surprised,"
remarked Mr. Thompson. He is so well
pleased with the country that he thinks
some of going there to make his home.
Can't Get Away
Superintendent of the City Schools J.
W. Gamble has had repeated requests
to come to Lincoln by State Superintend
ent McBrien and assist in the work at
the state normal but he is so much oc
cupied with his work here trying to get
everything in shape for the opening of
the coming term which occurs on Sep-
Ltember 3rd, that he is unable to get
away.
Reunion at Villisca.
Harvey W. Beaver and two children,
Luella and Wilson, accompanied by a
brother-in-law, Hugh Anderson, depart
ed for Villisca, Iowa, this morning,
where they will attend a reunion of the
Anderson family which takes place
there Unlay. There are expected to be
about two hundred and fifty present.
Mrs. Beaver was an Anderson, but was
not able to go on account of the fact
that her mother, who, with her husband,
Wilson Anderson, are making their
home at Elmwood, was just the other
day operated upon for appendicitis, and
it was not so she could attend, and her
husband and daughter would not go and
leave her, although they would like much
to be present. Harvey Beaver said as
his wife could not go he would stay at
home also, but Mrs. Anderson pre
vailed upon him to go and take the
children, as she wanted them to go and
she wanted to hear from the reunion
and what they did there.
R. R. COMMISSION
ERS ON THE ALERT
Will Inspect the M. P. all
Along the Lines in
Nebraska
The three members of the state rail
way commission started out this morn
ing to thoroughly inspect the track of
the Missouri Pacific railway in Nebras
ka. They took different routes and x
pect to meet in Auburn some time to
morrow.
Chairman Winnett went south in an
automobile and will take the Crete line,
which he will follow to Auburn. He
took a man with him, who will take
charge of the machine, while the com
missioner expects to walk the track a
good portion of the way.
Commissioner Williams went by train
to Weeping Water. He expected to
take a freight train south from there
and observe the track from the rear
platform of the caboose. Secretary
Clark Perkins recieved a telephone
message during the morning however,
that the commissioner had been refused
permission to ride on the freight. The
secretary at once took up the matter
with the superintendent and hoped to
obtain the necessary permit.
Commissioner Clark went to Omaha
from which place it was his intention
to make his way south to Auburn in
whatever way it was most convenient.
He may use a hand car, velocipede,
buggy or automobile, and will probably
walk a good deal of the way. The
three commissioners will go south from
Auburn together.
Samuel Lichty, of Falls City, has
written to the board asking them to
visit that place and stating that he will
show them things which they never
dreamed of. It is probable that his in
vitation will be accepted.
On Their Honeymoon
The same country presents tmo differ
ent persons, varied views, and the
different circumstances under which
one labors, lends a diversity of colors
to the landscape. One bound on a
funeral mission, sees things looking
dark and gloomy, while the man on a
business errand sees the country through
which he is traveling in a cold calculat
ing business way. But to the newly
married couple, things take a roseate
hue, and everything, no matter how
hard and uncouth the exterior, has
something of beauty to attract. So it
was with a couple which it chanced to
be our lot to meet at the Burlington
station this morning. They were Mr.
and Mrs. David Gluck of San Jose, 111.,
who were married about a week since,
and were on their return from a visit
with Mr. Gluck's parents at Garrison,
Neb. They came in yesterday and
have been visiting with a brother of
the groom, Wm. Gluck, the night oper
ator at Oreapolis. They departed for
Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, this morning on
the Burlington, where they will visit
for a few days with friends, Mr. Gluck
having attended school there at the
Iowa Westlyn Uuiversity, for a number
of years.
Does Advertising Pay?
Charlie Cummins was in need of an
other horse for his milk wagon so he
called up this office and asked us to in
sert a small ad in the Journal. We did
so and it appeared in the paper three
times. Mm. Cummins called up this
morning and said: "Take that ad out
of the Journal. I am being troubled to
death with people who wish to sell their
horses. I have had the chance to buy a
thousand horses since I placed that ad
with you, and I surely have gotten the
wofth of my money. " I
Picnic at Weeping Water
Weeping Water is expecting a grand
time on August 29, when a Fraternal
picnic will be held, participated in by
all fraternal societies. The picnic will
be held in the beautiful park belonging
to the city. Music will be furnished by
the Havelock concert band, and ad
dresses will be delivered by Jacob
Jaskalac of the A. O. U. W. and by
Rev. P. Orr of Lincoln, for the I. O. of
O. F. and other fraternal orders will
have noted speakers on the programes.
A ball game and tug of war will be
features of the entertainment.
Last evening brought Mrs. Chas. Fry
from Omaha, and she immediately pro
reeded to the home of her brother, Mr.
George Burley, in the Third ward, when)
her mother, Mrs. Burley, also the
mother of George Burley, made her
home. It seems that Mrs. Burley, ht.. and
Mrs. George Burley did not get along
as well as was intended that people
should when the command was given to
dwell together in unity. ThepropoKitin
is one which jeople have been trying
to solve for many a year but which al
ways comes back for solving again and
again. When a woman marries she
thinks she has a right to be the metres
of own household, and in all justice she
should. She has sacrificed her other
home for this one and in most cases she
tries to make the new one all that the
won! home signifies. She should be
queen and mistress of this home. On
the other hand, a mother who has given
the better part of the years of her life
to the caring for and the rearing of a
family, when the death angel had entered
that home and taken the father from
it, and divers circumstances have brok
en up her home, she has a right to ex
pect that the remaining days of her
life should be provided for.
The young man who has taken a
young and confiding girl to be his wife,
the sharer of his joys and sorrows, and
whose life he promises to cherish and
protect, to make her pathway through
life smooth, feels that he has not the
right to insist on the bringing into their
home an element that will be discordant.
And on the other hand, the man who
has that true manhood, which is prompt
ed by the commandment, which says
"Honor thy Father and thy Mother"
feels that he must make provision for
the declining years of his parent's life,
and at the dividing of the ways is up
against a proposition. Mrs. Chas. Fry
proceeded to take her mother away from
the home of her brother and take her
to that of a neighbor where she was
left. Later Mrs. Fry returned to the
Burley household and ' proceeded to
settle matters with her sister-in-law, a
la Marquis of Queensberry rules. She
being a much larger and stronger
woman than Mrs. Burley, at the first
blow of her fist struck from the shoulder
knocked her down, Mrs. Burley falling
over a chair, and sprained her back. Up
on her regaining her feet she Was
knocked down and out.
During the evening Mrs. Fry had
asked her brother to help move the
things belonging to her mother to the
neighbors where she had taken the old
lady and Mr. Burley said he would be
busy during the early part of the even
ing, and that he would render her the
assistance when he returned from town.
He not returning early, Mrs. Fry went
after them at about H o'clock, and a
few words passing, in which Mrs. Bur
ley requested her sister-in-law to leave
the place, resulted in the quarrel and a
fight ensued. After the departure
of Mrs. Fry, Mr. Burley returned, and
upon becoming acquainted with the
facts, called the police and endeavored
to have Mrs. Fry arrested, but not be
ing able to find her, no arrest was made
during the night, although all the trains
were watched. It is thought that she
departed for Omaha last evening, as no
trace of her could be found, although a
thorough search for her was made.
Through an Error
There are a few newspapers that take
more liberty with the U. S. mails than
they are allowed by law, and inserting
a sheet with nothing on but a page ad
vertisement as the Plattsmouth Journal
did last week in one instance Weeping
Water Herald.
The sheet of which the Herald speaks
gt in to a few papers sent outside
the city entirely by a mistake and al
together unintentionally. Our friend,
Olive knew that it was a mistake, but
thought this a good opportunity to
give us a little "dig in the short ribs."
The extra sheet was only intended for
the papers delivered in the city by
carriers. "Only this and nothing more,"
Bro. Olive.
Bert Homes in Hospital
Bert Holmes will be remembered by
many of our people, as having moved to
Havelock some years since. Bert has
been bothered with appendicitis forsome
time past, and was compelled to submit
to an opperation for relief. He was
taken from Havelock to Lincoln last
Saturday and wa3 operated upon. He
stood the ordeal well and shows every
inclination of entirely recovering from
the effects of the disese. The many
friends of Mr. Holmes will be pleased
to know that he has the best of chance.?
for recovery.
Will Visit Old Home
V. V. Leonard and wife departed this
morning for the east, where they will
visit for some time. They will visit at
most of the large cities of the east,
while away. Going first to Chicago,
will visit at Cleveland, Pittsburg,
Washington, New York and Buffalo.
While there they will visit at the old
home of Mr. Leonard, which is in Sus
quehna county, Penn.
Hopes of Recovery
Frank Lephart, who was so badly in
jured in the accident at the shops a few
days since, is reported as improving and
is able to see from one eye. The hope
is ente.tained by his physicians and
friends that he will recover.
