GEMMAN FARMER FROM HOSKINS
RESTORES $50 TO OWNER.
DID IT THROUGH NEWS WANT AD.
Flndltui $50 In Dills on Norfolk Av
enue Last Saturday , John Werner
Overcame Temptation to Keep it
and Drought It to T. M. Hull Today.
John Werner , a Commit farmer who
lives near llosklus , thirteen miles fiom
'orfolk , Is an honest man.
hast Saturday Mr. Werner was in
Norfolk. Walking along Norfolk uv-
line , near Fifth street , his eye was
nddonly pinned to a llttlo green roll
f currency that lay doubled up near
ho sidewalk. Picking up the roll ,
Ir. Werner found that ho bad In bis
anils $50two $ 0 bills and two ? 5
tills. Today ho returned that money
o the man who lost It. T. M. Hull of
bia city.
Overcame His Temptations.
The story of the temptation to keep
be money that lie bad found , as told
n a straight , clour , honest way by Mr.
Werner today , could but command ad
nlruUon.
"WJien 1 found the money , " ho said ,
'tlmro was a strong temptation to
loop It. 1 luivo Just recently lost some
logs by cholera and for a time I
bought maybe this money had been
sent to me to mnko up for my bad
lick. 1 am a poor man , and $50 In
ash picked up from the street looked
t\\ fully good.
Mill 1 tool ; tne money Homo and
old my wile about It and then I went
nlo prayer ever the matter and made
ip my mind to Hnd the owner. And
; o today 1 drove Into Norfolk , thlr-
eon miles , to bunt out the man who
mil lost the bills. 1 wanted it to go
: o the right ono. 1 Know how I would
fool If 1 lost the money.
First Looked at News Want Ads.
"And when I came to town , the
llrst thing 1 did was to bunt up The
N'ews nnd go through the want col
umns. And 1 found the ad. that said
money had boon lost. Then I came
10 the olllce hero to llml who that man
was , and a llttlo later 1 located him. "
Mr. Hull gave Werner a reward of
$5 for the llml. Mr. Werner also took
11 receipt In order to show that ho had
delivered the money ever to Its right
ful owner.
"And now 1 fool , belter , " said the
man from Hosklns , after the matter
was closed. "It weighed on my mind
so much Hint I couldn't wait until to
morrow even , so I hitched up and
drove In today. And 1 shall mnko the
drive of thirteen tulles back homo this
afternoon with a clear conscience.
The Ad. That Did It ,
Fallowing is the want ad. that re
stored the $50 to Mr. Hull :
"LOST. A sum.of . money. Finder
will bo liberally rewarded. For fur
ther Information Inquire of Dally
News. "
The ad. ran three days.

A VIEW FROM WITHIN.
Clever Report of the Banquet by One
Who Sat at the Splendid Board.
A session of the Drowning club of
Norfolk was hold last evening at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. A. .1. Diirlnml
and H banquet provided by the club
was given In honor of Mrs. Martha A.
McMillan , this being her seventieth
birthday.
H. A. Stewart , who was detailed as
toast master , was unable to be present
ind the chair was most admirably
tilled by M. D. Tyler , who , by the way ,
Is becoming a past master in the art
and can be highly recommended as
prollcient In this specialty for such an
occasion.
The subject of the evening was
"Mfo , " and the various toasts touched
uiion this subject more or less in Its
many phases. J. D. Mnylurd took up
the subject of "Mirth , " Mr. David Hees
took ill ) the nlllrnmtivo of the subject
Heredity , " treating the matter large
ly from a scientific standpoint , and
was ably answered by Hurt Mnpes ,
who took the negative side of the
question , treating it largely from the
standpoint of environment. This
closed the subject with the exception
of a' llttlo private discussion bold In
the ball between Mr. Mnpes and Mr.
Hees. in which more or less emphatic
remarks woie indulged in.
Mrs. H. J. Cole in a very sweet and
admirable manner spoke on the sub
ject of "Friendship. " The Hovcrend
W. J. Turner , poet and scholar , took
up the subject of "Tho Poetry of Life , "
and ably sustained his position as to
Sardelo , ono of the most ambiguous
poems that Drowning has written
This was followed by Mrs. Durt Mapes
speaking on "Tho Prose of Life" in a
very entertaining nnd witty manner.
"Tho Fellowship of Kindred Minds"
was then taken up by Mrs. A. J. Dur-
land , which consisted of lellers from
absent members of the club , among
which wore very Interesting letters
from D. C. O'Connor , R. A. Stewart.
Mrs. T. F. Memminger , A. J. Durland ,
Mr. and Mrs. Hlrchnrd and Mrs. Lily
Parker Scott and Mrs. T. J. Morrow.
Also quotations from all members of
the club , touching upon the subject of
life and the character of the guest of
the evening , nil of which were admir
ably chosen , expressing a variety of
sentiment that was both touching and
beautiful.
"The Conclusion" was taken up by
the Hoverond J. J. Parker , In his char
acteristically scholarly and forcible
way nnd the subject of "Mo and Dob-
by" was responded to by Mrs. M. A.
McMillan , the guest of the evening In
a manner that will not soon bo for
gotten.
It was an enjoyable , entertaining
nnd instructive evening , ono of the
bright spots which appeal with partlc-
nr luster , and only conies occasional
U This date being also the annlvor-
ui\ of Hobby Hums , more or loss
iiionMoti was made of this disting

ADVERTISER FOR HUSDANDS IN
NORFOLK HOSPITAL.
PITIFUL NOTE TO DEAD FATHER
The First That Ida Irish Knew of Her
Father's Death at Nellgh Was When
Her Letter to Him Came Back , "De
ceased" Stamped in the Corner.
Ida Irlsb-Macomber , the Insane wo
man from Tlldcn who attracted such
wide attention last spring by advertis
ing for husbands and receiving so
many proposals for marriage , is now
In the Norfolk insane hospital , having
been moved hero from Lincoln since
the cottages were opened.
Just the day before the old man died
at Nellgh. Miss Irish wrote a letter to
him at that place. The letter was en
closed In an envelope with the return
card of the Norfolk Insane hospital In
the corner. It went to Nellgh on the
night of her father's death and when
it reached that place his eyes had
closed to this world's objects and bo
never knew what the epistle said.
The next morning the letter , un
opened and bearing across the cornet
In a cold , rubber-stamp line the word
"Deceased , " came back to toll Idn
Irish that her father was dead. Thlf
was the llrst news she had had that
bo was c\en ill and all of his last suffering
foring was unknown to his daughter
Since then she has been hysterical am !
weeps much of her time. Her mothci
died years ago , shortly after the I rag
le death of her lover , Dr. Macomber
who was found dead in bed not loiif
before the time of her wedding dnj
and on account of which she has evei
since claimed the numo of Mncomber
Though she receives many letters
here , it is said that Ida Irish Is not
now advertising for husbands.
