condition of Mr.. L. Frank Phillips is
improving steadily. and that he will
soon be quite himself again. Mr.. Phil
lips is able to sit up some each day,

Talk about good bread. There is
nothing to equal the new kind made
from buttermilk. We have so many
satisfied customers that we can hardly
take care of the new ones. 1t is said
that satisfied customer is always
customer, and if that is true we will
have to add to our oven, which is now
taxed to its utmost capacity. But all
shall have our buttermilk bread who
want it, and if you will send in your
order it will be filed. SundelTs cafe.

Word from Miss Alice Baird, Alb
bott school Kindergarten, who was
called to her home in Osceola three
weeks ago owing to the illness of her
mother, Mrs. Jane Baird is to the eff
feet that her mothers condition will
not permit her to return to the city
for some time. Miss Baird does not
expect to able to be here until the
beginning of the spring term, at any
rate. 1t is expected today that
Kindergarten from Des Moines will
arrive to take charge of the depart

Mr.. j. E. Mcdonald and Manager
French Gaffney. Of the Iowa Telephone
Company, We're in Melbourne Thurs
day, where they went to witness the
terrible scenes incident to the disas-
trous wreck on the Milwaukee, one and
one-half miles west of Melbourne Mr.
Gaffney made the trip in the interests
Of the service of his company, as it
was understood at first that the wreck
occurred at the first bridge west of
Melbourne under which the line of the
Iowa Telephone Company passes. The
accident, however, was at the next
bridge west, and the telephone line
was therefore not damaged. To ac-
commodate the Times Republican Mr..
Gaffney took with him a pair of CHM
bers. telephone wire and an instrument
so that had the line been completely
down, and 1t became necessary to es-
tablish communication with MARSHALL
town from a point in the country the
Times Republican man on the ground
might have talked to the editorial
rooms of the paper without leaving
the wreck.
