George W. Moore, 72 Years Old, Missing From Home Since Friday—Located at Knightstoun

Mrs. G. L. Maughmer, of Indianapolis, was in Greenfield Monday afternoon and evening searching for George W. Moore, of Irvington, who left his home last Friday morning. It seems that Mr. Moore is an uncle of the lady, being a brother of her mother, Mrs. Marjorie Topping, of Indianapolis. The uncle, she said, is 72 years old, and had suffered slight attacks of paralysis and was nervous and irritable. He left home once before and went to the home of a brother, William Moore, at Brazil, and when they discovered that he was with his brother they allowed him to remain there until he was ready to return home, but this time, as he did not go to his brother's home, they were anxious about him, and sent the niece, Mrs. Maughmer, to locate him.

The only clew she had was the telephone. Each day he would call up Dr. Carr's office in Irvington and say that he was all right. The morning Mr. Moore left home Mrs. Maughmer, whose home is at Ktikomo, where her husband is temporarily engaged in business, was at his home on account of the sickness of her mother, who was also there. She ate breakfast with him and after breakfast he said he was going to the bank, and did go there, and then left town without the knowledge of the family.

Mr. Moore is a Mason and member of the Knights Templar. Mrs. Maughmer visited the New Greenfield hotel and other boarding and rooming houses and restaurants here. Several persons were sure they had seen a man in Greenfield dressed as she described her uncle. Among those who had seen him was Deputy City Marshal Tuttle. Marshal W. W. Shumway made a search of the town and found that such a man had been eating at the City Restaurant.

When he could not be found in Greenfield, Mrs. Maughmer telephoned to Dr. Carr and found that the doctor had received another message from him and it was from Knightstown. She immediately took a car for that city.

The missing man is a man of property and has some extensive building improvements in process of construction at ,the corner of Downey and Omer avenues in Irvington at the present time.

Wheat Stands Much Better Chance Than it Did Last Year— All Fruit in Good Condition.

Although it is quite early to talk about the outlook for good crops, many farmers are discussing the question. They say that the prospect for wheat is a great deal better than it was this time last year.

A year ago the wheat had been frozen in the ground and nearly all the fruit had been killed by the extreme cold weather which prevailed for many weeks last winter. The wheat looks very thrifty in most sections of the country, and with some favorable weather, there should be a good yield.

The report given out by the local nurserymen is that there will be an abundance of nearly every kind of fruit this year, that is if no damaging weather prevails from this date on.

JAPANESE LECTURE

At U. B. Church Next Sunday Evening, .March 16, 7:30 O'clock.

Rio Takemaye, Ph. D., contributing editor of the Ram's Horn, will deliver one of his famous and interesting lectures at the U. B. church in this city next Sunday evening, March 16, at 7:30 o'clock.

In order to overcome parental objections and be near the girl he loves, Hal Blake (Eltinge) disguises himself as "The Fascinating Widow." and the comedy situations that follow his donning of wig and gown make the play one of the best of its kind. The present tour is Eltinge's farewell appearance in 'The Fascinating Widow." Next season, according to the announcements made, he will appear in another comedy. "Officer 666."

The coolest crook and the most blase lover in the wliole world are to be found in the cast of "Officer 666," Augustin MacHugh's farce, which will, be the attraction at English's opera house, March 20, 21 and 22, with a matinee on Saturday.

The crook calmly assumes the name and occupies the house of an absent millionaire and proceeds to rifle the residence of its valuable paintings, while the lover, mistaken for a picture thief, gets his wrists in a pair of handcuffs and while manacled proposes to and is accepted by the girl of his choice. "Officer 666" is an unusual play. It keeps you guessing and makes you laugh. The cast includes Clarence Oliver, George Howell, Ralph Dean, Frank McGlynn, John Arthur, Iona Bright, Edna Hibbard and Charlotte Lambert.

Are You Constipated?

If so, get a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills, take them regularly and your trouble will quickly disappear. They will stimulate the liver, improve your digestion, and get rid of all the poisons from your system. They will surely get you well again. 25c at M. C. Quigley's.

Goes Into Hands of Receiver—Geo. \V. Davis is Appointed By the Court

A suit was filed Tuesday morning for the appointment of a receiver for the Spot Cash Co-Operative Co. The suit was filed by Christian M. Kirkpatrick, who has furnished the money for the operation of said company to the amount of $6,000.

This company was organized about three years ago and purchased the big Spot Cash store and it has been doing business since. George W. Davis has had the management, and he has been appointed receiver.

It is said that the assets of the company will amount of approximately $30,000, and the liabilities about $20,000. A statement is being sent out to the creditors in which it is explained that the business for the past year has been running behind that the company was not able to take advantage of discounts and pay interest on borrowed capital, and that a receivership was the only logical course to pursue.

The business will be economically conducted and the property disposed of in such a way as to liquidate the indebtedness in the best possible way.

It was explained that if a receiver had not been appointed many suits would have ben filed and much expense added. to the closing up of

On September 12, 1861, she was united in marriage to James P. Lewis. They were the parents of the following children: Mrs. Elizabeth Bishop, Mrs. Ida Wickliff, Mr. Stephen Lewis and Mr. Oakley E.

To her they looked for counsel and benediction. Now that she is gone she is to them all more than a mother. She is a spirit from above watching them like their sainted father.

The remainder of life's journey will be longer for them all. In the years to come in fancy they will often go back to the old home and stand by her side. The flowers will bloom, the birds carol, the sun will throw its mellow radiance of light over the hills. They will stand there until the twittering birds begin their vesper,songs and the sun goes down in the western horizon before they finish the roll call of the loved ones of long ago. Again they will go with father and mother to the shores of the dark flood watch them as angels seem to come and go hold their precious hands once more until the singing tide sweeps back, the shining way opens and they vanish through the gates that stand ajar forever more, although unseen by mortal eye.
