Mrs. Parkison Silent as Sphinx of the Sahara.
Another attempt to get information regarding the missing notes proved futile. While a reporter from The Republican was able to gain a brief interview, Mrs. Parkison was a gracious but unwilling hostess to the interrogatives put forth. She refused absolutely to make any comments on the matter, believing it to be of no public interest at all. She thanked the reporter for hip Kindly interest and gracefully bade him “Good day.” After feeble protestation, he hastily “beat it” for the editor’s sanctum. The Record-Herald, of Chicago, today says that Paul Fleming, who was arrested in Sioux City, lowa, charged with having obtained the notes from Mrs. Parkisow in an irregular land transaction, will hot be brought back to Chicago. The paper states thhi Mrs. Parkison recovered her notes through a private detective association. Local rumor has it that Mrs. Parkison paid $5,000 to secure a settlement and the return ql the notea
Peter VanLear Died Thursday Night at Brothers Hospital.
Peter Van Lear, the a worthy man and one who numbered his friends by his acquaintances, died some time Thursday night at the Alexian Brothers hospital in Chlbago.

He was never strong enough to leave the hospital and his wife spent considerable time there with him. It was a Catholic hospital and it is understood That aside from the cost of the operation which was performed soon after he first went there, he was cared for without cost. Peter Van Lear was an industrious man, a good workman, a thrifty man considering his pool 1 health and there will be much genuine sorrow because of his death. He leaves a wife, who Is also an Invalid, and a son about 5 years of ape. .

Undertaker Wright received only brief word concerning the death. Mrs. Van Lear is a sister of Mrs. John Hordeman and it is expected that the body will be taken to the Hordemqp home instead of the little Van Lear cottage on Front street.
