Saturday’s Indianapolis News, in its write-up of the coming meeting of the Farmer’s, National congress, which is being held in Indianapolis this week, had an excellent picture of J. 11.

Her life was despaired of at the time for several days but she rallied and was apparently in no worse condition than usual Wednesday.
