MRS. JOHN EGER AT HOME.

Mrs. John Eger, who has been at the Presbyterian hospital in Chicago for the past seven weeks, and who underwent one of the most severe operations ever performed upon a person from this city, returned to her home here Thursdav afternoon. The writer saw Mrs. Eger as she took the train the day she went to the hospital, and, he was privileged to call upon her at her home here today. We were certainly suprised and greatly pleased to see her looking so well. She says she is feeling fine and eats and sleeps well. She will undoubtedly be 'a. great deal stronger when she fully recovers than she has been for years previous. The operation, which Mrs. Eger underwent, was one of the most delicate known to surgery and it was performed by one of the greatest surgeons in the country. Mrs. Eger, who is always so kind and considerate of others, cannot praise too much those who contributed so efficiently to her recovery. Her nurse, Charys Jones, of Racine, Wis., accompanied Mrs. Eger to her home and will remain here with her for about a week. Mrs. Eger feels much credit for her present excellent condition is due to the efficiency and faithfullness of her nurse.

Mrs. Eger is pleased to have company and also feels sure that she will be able to put out even a more beautiful flower garden this year than ever. It is a source of universal gratification that this splendid woman is agadn to resume her very important place in the many activities of the good people of this city.
