Family.

William Ayers, who left this city five
years ago for the West and whose death
was reported some two years later, has
put in an appearance in this city. Five
years ago he left this city to go West
in search of position. At intervals he
wrote home and kept his mother posted
as to his whereabouts, but finally letters
from him ceased to arrive. His mother
became alarmed. and wrote letters of
inquiry and received news which con-
firmed her belief that he was dead. The
mothers surprise and JOY cannot be inn
agined when her son, now a full-grown
man, stepped across the threshold of her
home and clasped her in his arms. Ayers
was seen this morning, and said
he had some discouraging expe-
riences in the West and de-
cided to go East, finally ending in
Port Baltimore. He obtained work on
a merchants vessel plying between Port
Baltimore and Liverpool and he worked
on the steamer as a deck hand until he
left for Fond du Lac. He says he did
not write home because some Of his
letters had not been answered and he
thought his mother was dead.

The project of building a bicycle path
TO Menasha is again being strongly agi-
tatcd by the wheelmen of Appleton. For
Il time it seemed probable that some
shing was likely to be done by the peo-

between the towns, and the wheelmen
dropped the path agitation, preferrlng
60 aid in the general movement for

hooking out only for their own interests
by insisting on path of their own. The

ever, and the wheelmen are now deter
mined TO submit to the inconvenience of
the diSgraceful road between Appleton

public does not care enough about
