Miss Anna Winnes this morning received word from Muncie telling of the condition of Mrs. Frank Mann, and which stated that her condition was more encouraging. Tuesday evening and Wednesday she passed through the fever crisis, her condition then being very serious and her recoverythen was doubtful. However, she came through it all right and the attending physician believes she stands a chance more favorable. Charles Lang, who had a close call from typhoid fever, and who was confined to his home for several weeks, was able to be out this morning for a short while, and down the stree-. He is still feeling very weak, but thought the morning sun would be of benefit to him. W. «F. Hilpert. who on last Fridaysubmitted to an operation for appendicitis at his home near Rivarre. is improving and gaining strength fast, it was stated this morning that he would get along all right unless something unforeseen set in. Charles Ewel of Preble township, one of the best known elderly gentlemen of the county, is very sick with bowel trouble and complications due to old age. Frank DeVoss today remains about the same as yesterday , he then having been a little stronger than for several days previous. His friends wish him a speedy recovery. Charles Scherry. who yesterday was operated upon for appendicitis and hernia, was much better today and somewhat stronger. The ordeal was very successful and he will without doubt get along without any further trouble. Democrat Want Ads Pay. $9" Buys any $13.50 and $15.00 SUIT ' i Straw Hats Half Price
