Mrs. Clara Coen Visited By Relatives From a Distance.

Mrs,. Clara Coen, widow of William S. Coen and by a former marriage of Madison Makeever, enjoyed two very interesting although short visits from relatives from a distance the past week. Early in the week a nephew, Harvey Scott, of Pittsburg, Kans., came especially to see her. , Mrs. Coen, it will be remembered, suffered an apoplectic stroke several weeks ago and for the past five or six weeks has been at the county hospital, where she has a special nurse and is making quite encouraging improvement. Mr. Scott is engaged in the drug business at Pittsburg and Hutchinson, having two stores at each place. When a very small boy his mother, who was Mrs, Coen’s sister, died, and she'raised him for a number of years. Friday M. M. Makeever, of Boston, Mass., the youngest son of Madison Makeever, came to see her. He had been on a business trip to Minneapolis, Minn., and had hoped to remain here over Sunday, but the threatened railroad strike caused him to depart for the east on the same day of his arrival. He spent almost the entire time here with Mrs. Coen at the hospital. iM. M. Makeever will be remembered here by/the name of Mell, and his many old friends would enjoy an opportunity to visit with him for a fey; days but his business keeps him so occupied that all of his visits to this city have 'been of very short duration. He and Sanford Makeever, under the firm name of Makeever Bros., have been- very successful m r mining investments and have offices} in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Their mines are located mainly in Montana and Mexico. In the farmer state they have valuable copper mines and in Mexico they possess gold and silver mines. The latter properties have been shut down I until recently owing to the revolu- • tion in Mexico, but they are now op- ’ ening up and good returns were re- I ceived during February.-
