The following obituary was pre

Metta Alice Wilson was born in
Jasper county, Iowa April 16. 1SG7.
Her mother died while she was

of age. She united with the Quaker

She was married to R. W. Stewart

born three children, one of whom
died in infancy. They lived on ti:e
Steward farm near Alvo about five

come to America, Mrs. Coffman be
ing born in England, myself in
Switzerland and our companion, Mrs.
Hesse, also from Plattsmouth, -who
accompanied us as far as Cherbourg,
France, was sixteen when she came
from Germany.
Months before we left on our trip,
geography was studied, maps were
consulted and let me tell you, I
think we studied more geography
the two months before sailing thau
in a whole year at school. As the
time of our departure drew near we
began to get just a little bit nerv
ous, as one naturally would going so
far, and expecting to see so many
strange faces and meet people whom
v.e could not understand. We feel
that it will be of interest to our read
ers if we begin risht at home and
take you along on our journey as we
travel.
The first thing that ha3 to be done
sfter you make up your mind to go,
if you are an American citizen, is to
htive your picture taken, zxj
inches will, haw it unmounted ana
not retouched, vou need two at least,
three are better, then apply for your
passport through the district or fed
eral court. This passport will cost
vou ten dollars, nine of which is
sent to Washington and one remain
ing with the court through which
your passport is secured. Some may
5-.TV. whv not find out first on what
hip you are going and then the
nassport. Well, about one of the
firrt quertions you will be aked by
your steamship aent is. "Do you
have vour paspnort?" So why not
ictt it first? It will require from
two to three weeks to get the pass
port. We didn't realize at the time
the importance of this document un
til we reached New York city, our
sailing port. Here the steamship of
ficial cared but little about seeing
onr tickets, but was deeply interest
r in cr.r passports and the works
of art (?), our photos, with which
thev were embellished.
The three of us left on No. 2,
May 21. A large crowd had gath
ered at the station to see us off, and
when the train pulled out my eyes
vrrr fill' d with tears and I could
not eo whether my companions were
laughing rr crying. Our baggage
wes light, we each took only two suit
f as. one we carried and the other
wo checked through, and let me say
rirht here, if we ever went again we
v-.uld take only one suitcase. Our
first stop was Pacific Junction. Iowa,
where Ave had about an hour of wait
ing, which passed quickly, each busy
thinking and wondering if, perhaps,
we had loft Fomething that we might
need on cur stay just like a wom
an, I hear you say. At Pacific Junc
tion. Mrs. Coffman and I boarded the
Pullman while Mrs. Hesse preferred
th day coach, she wss too excited to
c-'crp the first night, she thought. So
while we are on our way to St.
Louia we will bid you all adieu and
meet you again In St. Louis next
Monday evening.

From Saturday's Daily
The residence owned by Frank
Sitzmann in the south part of the
city, and which is occupied by Lee
Cotner, had a close call from serious
fire this morning when the roof was
found to be smouldering and only
the prompt action of the neighbors
saved the place from destruction.
Ed Cotner was passing the house
when he saw a small blaze on the
roof and at once called to Arthur
Falk, a neighbor, and they got into
action at once and checked the blaze
with only the loss of a few shingles.
There had been a small bonfire in
the yard and it is thought that sparks
from this caused the blaze. It was
most fortunate that the fire was
caught at the time it was, as the
prompt action saved a heavy loss.

SHOWS FAVORABLE INDICATIONS
from Saturday's Daily
The latest reports from the bed
side of Charles Richards, Jr., in Om
aha last evening indicated that the
young man was showing some improvement-over
his suffering and was
recovering from the condition that
he had remained in from Thursday
evening until late yesterday after
noon, as he has now regained his
faculties, although suffering consid
erable pain.
The case, which has been decided
upon as one of acute appendicitis,
was expected to be looked after by
the surgeons at the St. Joseph hos
pital this morning and the young
man operated upon if his condition
would permitted. The friends here
have received no word today as to
wnether or not the operation was
performed.

From Saturday's Daily
Sheriff E. P. Stewart was at Fre
raont yesterday and returned last
evening, bringing with him Raymond
Lairson. against whom an informa
tion was filed Thursday by County
Attorney J. A. Capwcll charging him
with manslaughter in connection
with the death of Mrs. Lorissa Dodge,
aged Fremont woman, who was fatal
ly. injured in an auto accident near
Union on September 18th.
The prisoner is a man of some
thirty years and has been mixed in
various troubles in Fremont and Om
aha in the past it is stated, but does
not bear the stamp of a seriou3 of
fender. Mr. Lairson came with Sherilf
Stewart without dispute and was
brought on to this city and lodged in
jail and will remain here until his
case i's brought up for the prelimi
nary hearing, which will be held on
Monday morning, it is thought. ,
On Tuesday morning, Mrs. Roy
Rhoden happened with a very severe
accident while washing. She was
wringing clothes with a power wash
er when her left hand was caught in
the wringer and badly mashed and
lacerated. This i3 indeed unfortu
nate for her, for her left hand is al
so her right hand. The injury was
very painful and required the doc
tor's attention although at the pres
ent time she is doing as well as
could be expected under the circum
stances. Elmwood Leader-Echo.
