"Old Pete Hepburn, Of Iowa.. is one

Mr.. Bowersock, the Kansas miller and

he said he was, and started for the
cloakroom. where he extracted a big
apple from his overcoat pocket, with
the remark. sMrs. Bowersock has pro-

Alton trade in the sos, was disman-

sold to a Presbyterian church at Ship

ten years. Last week, however, the
relic was forwarded to st. Louis again
by Samuel Gregory, agent for the
Eagle Packet company, at Alton, who
purchased it as a curiosity. The old
bell will be cleaned and polished hero
