EXCHANGE BUILDING
Will Be Erected in Dover, Headquart-
ers for Delaware Farmers

erS TOT delaware FARMERS
Dover is to have probably the big
gest business building on the penin-
sula to be occupied by one corpora
tion, that is if the Board of Trade
and other public spirited bodies can
help in the matter of a suitable and
not too costly a site. The Delaware
Produce Exchange at its directors
meeting, where the audit showed that
the corporation had handled 5000, 900
worth of the farmers produce and
had received top prices for it in the
city markets, all in five months, and
with practically only the spring
crops heard from, has decided to
build permanent headquarters. The
new building will have to be con-
structd at once, in time for cold
weather to house the working staff
to get ready for a greater volume
of business next year.

QUICK WAY
To GET OUT

After falling from the gallery of
the Washington theater, down into
the audience on the first floor last
night, Harvey Lind, a young lad
with a sort of mischieyous express
sion playing about the corners OF
his mouth shook himself together
and smilingly said, Why, that's
nothing, that's an easy and quick
way of getting out of the house
However, the management of the
playhouse, audience and ushers, as
well, failed to see a laughable fea-
ture to the turn which would have
done credit to most any caudeville
acrobat, and, fearing Lind had been
injured, called the police patrol
wagon to carry the young gallery
god to the emergency hospital. The
emergency hospital steward looked
in vain for some place on the sur
face OF the star tumbler's person on
which he could do some work and
then gave it up. Lind was not hurt
in the least.

II am going to write home to sis

Kennedy the other day, just before
leaving Spokane on his fateful trip.
The steeplejack was worried when
his companion did not return at the
time he had intended, and he began
to make inquiries after 81. F. Cor

morgue.
There will be no unmarked grave
for "Willie's" body now, for Kenne-
dy has begun "a correspondence
with Cleveland friends in an effort
to find his dead friends sister and
her other brother, Charles McFar-
land. Neither of them live in
Cleveland now, but Kennedy is sure
that they can be found in time, SO
that the body of their wandering
brother may be sent back to them.
