Frank E. Cox (Returns From Trip Throughout West.

'Frank E. Cox returned Monday from a seven-months trip to the west and northwest. Last May in company with Virgil Denniston he went to Montana where both spent some time on the farm of the Maines boys. Then Virgil went to work in a barbershop at Bozeman, where he still is. Frank went from Montana to Washington and Oregon and then to San Francisco, where he spent a couple of weeks at the fair. He then went to Salt Lake City and finally hack to old Jasper county. He had an attack of ptomaine poisoning while he was away and this evidently led to the report circulated here several weeks ago, that he was suffering from tuberculosis. He looks far from it, however, as he gained 19 pounds in weight and has the color of a cowboy. Frank expects to spend the winter here if he can secure employment and he will probably be able to do this as he worked for a long time here before and has many friends who would be pleased to see him in some store again. You won't feel grouchy over ypur undei*wear when you’re Hamillized and wear underwear that fits, from $1 to $3.50.

DEATH CLAIMS. MAN AFTER OPERATION

Frank Simonin, Near Goodland, Succumbed Seven Days After Appendicitis Operation.

A week ago Mr. Simonin and family, had gone to Lafayette to attend the funeral of a niece of Mrs. Simonin and it was on the way home that he became very sick. Monday his condition was such that it was not thought safe to take him to the hospital for an, operation and the surgeon was called there. The same day Victor Babcock, a neighbor, Was taken to Chicago for a similar operation, and another neighbor, George Fox, had died the night before following his return from a visit at Frankfort., The neighborhood seems to be having more than its share of afflictions. Mr. Simonin came to Indiana from Illinois. His parents live in Jordan township and are natives of France. The name is usually (given the pronounciation of “Simony.” He is survived by his wife artd two children, a son and a* daughter.

The funeral will probably be held Wednesday, but arrangements had not been completed this morning.
