He had no idea he had lost it in Logansport, until a friend who ’saw’ an account of a w’allet being found which bore the name John C. Davis, wrote him. Davis immediately, communicated with Dr. DeHart, and so minutley described the contents of the purse that Dr. DeHart forwarded it to him. Davis instructed DeHart to keep the cash, $163, which the wallet contained. Mayor C. O. France this morning received a handsomely engraved invitation to attend the opening of the Alaskan-Yukon Pacific exposition to occur at Seattle, Washington, June Ist. While it is not likely that Mr. France will attend this function, he says it is not altogether because he wouldn’t like to, but because his bps- I iness will not permit his absence for such a length of time. The exposition is to be a great event, and no doubt : will be visited by many from this sec-1 tion of Indiana before the year is over, j The next big world’s exposition is to be held at Boston, in 1920, a celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the landing there of the Pilgrim fathers. This is to be the greatest exposition ever held in the world* and though eleven years away, it is already causing quite a little interest. 1
