JOURNAL REPORTER" RE
TURNS FROM MISSOURI
From Ttie."1ay's Pally.
M. S. Briggs, Journal reporter, ar
rived home th'.3 morning from the
Ozark country of Missouri, where he
owns a farm and had been looking
after having the wheat crop thresh
ed as well as other business matters.
During his absence, his daughter,
Miss Crete Hriggs looked after the
reporting task and kept the copy
coming to the linotype machines.
Mr. Rriggs does not regard his trip
exactly as a vacation as business
claimed his attention most of the
time he was away. Besides he found
the weather very warm and the at
mosphere quite dry. He says there
was a cooling breeze to alleviate suf
fering from the heat in that country,
however, and the lack of rain there
has not assumed the proportions of
a drouth as yet.

From Monday's Dally..
Henry Miller, the custodian of
the Elks Home, is in a very serious
condition. '
It has been necessary to have
two physicians to attend him as his
life has literally been banging in
the balance for the last twenty-four
hours. The trouble is some ' brain
ailment and for the last day and
night he has been having epileptic
convulsions.
His condition is such as to war
rant the keenest anxiety and while
all that is within tfce power of medi
cal skill and loving care is being
given him he is very low.
This morning hi6 condition show
ed a slight improvement. He part
ly regained consciousness which he
has not had. This is encouraging
but the physicians Drs. Westover
and Stuart Livingstoir who are at
tending him still do not have much
hope for his recovery.
His friends will be sorry to learn
f his illness and will watch and
hope that his condition will im
prove.
