We were unintentionally misinform-
ed concerning the place of the dinner
given Sunday in connection with the

family, preached.
The reunion, which was the seventh

at the residence of Stephen S. Staley,
who, now in his s2nd year. is the only
one of the original stock left living.

MOTHER AND SON
Happy Reunion Of Parent and Child
Long Separated. Mrs. Work Assisting.

About ten years ago Mrs. Julia A.
Work, who was then in charge of a
children's home at Laporte, had in
her control the children of Eunice
Sohl, widow, who has since married
Miles Wilsey and lives at Rolling Prai-
RE in Laporte county. One of the
children, William Sohl, then eight or
nine years of age, was given TO j. G.
Fleming, of Garfield, Kansas, to raise
and he has lived there ever since, hear
ing nothing of his mother during all
that time.
Recently he came east in search of
his mother and visited Mrs. Work at
Brightside to make inquiries, but she
was unable to give him any clue as to
the mothers whereabouts. He went
to Plymouth to obtain employment,
his idea being to remain in this vicin-
ity as much as possible and continue
his efforts to locate his mother. On
Wednesday of last week he went to
Elkhart, where he had secured a sit
uation.
In the meantime, while heand Mrs.
Work were pursuing their investiga-
ton, the Laporte Herald published in
its weekly issue an item concerning
the matter and this fell under the eye
of A. f. Fradenburg, who is an uncle
of the young man and resides at ROl-
ling Prairie near the mother, his sis
ter. Mr.. Fradenburg came to Plym-
outh Saturday to get his nephew, but
vert lack i'm the evening on learning
that the lad had gone to Elkhart and
after writing him letter urging him
to 90 at once to make his home with
the family.
There was happy reunion OF
son and mother who had not met OF
communicated in ten years. Young
SObl is full of gratitude to Mrs. Work,
not only for her earnest efforts in his
behalf at this time but also because
of her kindly treatment of him when
he was in her care as a child.

found great enjoyment in the exchange
of recollections of early days. j. n.
Wilson, III. G.. Thayer, Daniel Nc
Donald and j. b. StOll were the
speakers and the great assemblage
was we'll entertained by their adj
dresses. An old-time basket dinner
of huge proportions was served under
the trees and for that day at least life
was worth living.

Prisoners viii Go Cold.

The county council will be in session
throughout today examining the
estimates of expenditures for county
purposes. They are applying the
knife ruthlessly in pruning down the
requirements of the officers and the
total of the published estimates will
be materially reduced.
The most important item that has
been wiped out SO far affects the COM
fort of prisoners in the county jail.
The sheriff asked for an appropriation
to be expended in heating the jail, for
which no adequate provision is now
made, but the council decided to use
no money for that purpose this year.

County Commissioners.

The county commissioners adjourn
edit yesterday after completing the al
lowance of the usual run of bills. A re-
monstrance against the Hershberger
ditch, which is to be constructed in
Marshall and st. Joseph counties,
proved ineffective because it was not
filed in time, so the petition for the
ditch stands without opposition.
An effort was made to line up the
board i'm favor of removing the iron
fence around the court house but it
was opposed by two of the members
and the scheme is dropped for the
present.
