Mrs. Emma Wolf, of Jennings Seminary at Aurora, 111., is visiting Mrs. AlVerta Simpson at the Monnett School for Girls. They are today attending the meeting of the M. E. Foreign Missionary Society at Monticello. Mrs. J. M. Wasson and Mrs. John Q. Alter are also attending the missionary meeting. Mrs. E. M. Parcels received a call early this morning from Indianapolis and was asked to come at once to that place because of the alarming sickness of her little grandchild, Sarah Alice, the daughter of Mrs. Bertha O’Neil. The child has 'been sick only since Sunday but the nature of the sickness was not learned. * William Hepry McDowell, former president of the Monon railroad, whose death occurred in Chicago Monday night, was 75 years of age on March 28th. He was interested in stone quarries and coal mines along the Monon and was a man of considerable means. He was born in Goofstown, N. H. Mrs. Isabel Carmen, mother of Mrs. J. J. Miller, has purchased the William Warren property at the south end of Weston street which has for some time been occupied by the family of Clency Wood, and will have it remodeled and improved. Mrs. Wood, it is understood, will send her children to live with their grandmother and will accept employment in a home as a servant. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Maxwell and sons, Clarence and Wilfoid and the former’s wife, and Mrs. Bell Geiib went to Benton county Monday to attend the funeral of Mr. Maxwell’s niece, Mrs. Vilas Kelley, whose death was due to internal abscesses. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Maxwell and formerly lived at Francesville. Her age was 26 years and she leaves a husband and two ’ittle sons. A little girl named Adams died at the home of her parents on D. L. Halstead’s farm northeastof Mt. Ayr, Sunday of scarlet fever. The case was looked after by Dr. J. T. Martin, of Mt. Ayr. It is understood that the girl, whose age was 8 years, had been in school until the close last week and had traveled to and from her home in the school hack with other children. There is, therefore, considerable danger of a spread of the disease.' The child’s funeral was held today, being private, and burial being made in the North Star cemetery. A damage suit asking - e or $50,000 judgment against the Monon railroad company was filed Tuesday in the Montgomery circuit court by Miles Arnold, a fireman on the road. He was injured at Crawfordsville on May 11, 1914, and alleges that the company gave him a defective hook with which to pull down the water spouts. When he used the hook at Crawfordsville he alleges it broke and he was thrown violently to the ground from the coal tender of the engine on which he was working. Arnold was injured about the head and now wears a silver plate in his skull where he was injured. He is listed as his own attorney.
