II. ". Franklin, president of the Franklin
Automobile company was in city Tuesday
az a stop In a trip through the middle
west in the interests OF the company Of
which he is the head. This Is the second
trip taken by Mr.. Franklin this spring, he
having travelled across the country two
months ago while on a visit to the agen-
ees of his company on yne Pacific coast
On his first trip Mr. Franklin found
trade conditions excellent and he became
very enthusiastic "on my trip to the
coast" he said, 81 found prospects bright
in every city There is every Indication
that the coming year will see a good
amount OF automobile business There Will
be lot of cars sold in Omaha, for trade
conditions here are not surpassed by those
in any other town.
THE feeling Of apprehension in some
quarters ct the beginning OF the 1911 sea-
son has proven unwarranted and the sea-
son has been very successful. We have
had a very good sale on pleasure cars this
season. indicating that the market is
surely in good condition throughout
I'm connection with the sale Of pleasure
cars. II might be well to say that the COM
merciai car as factor in trade is just be-
ginning to be felt. The production of these
is being increased in every factory and in
the Franklin factory alone there are now
being turned out three times as many
trucks as there were a year ago. Omaha
has shown a great interestfn the CONNER
cial car proposition and that class Of vehi-
Gle will increase rapidly here, western
cities are quick to adopt new and mod
ern features"

Leiss Has Been Dependent Upon

Friends Bury Her,

Fifty-three years old, enfeebled by want
and sorrow and driven insane by worry,
Mrs. Grace Leiss died at the county hos
pital several days ago. She was born in
Brooklyn, N. ", of English parents and
reared amoung surroundings of great
luxury. Her education was received from
private tutors and she was accomplished
in music ana art ana the other branches of
an aristocratic training.
She married A. Leiss, a plano merchant,
and invested her share of the family estate
in his business which was established at
Lincoln, Neb. After a few years, mis-
fortune ruined his business and he be-
came a bankrupt. Not long afterwards he
persuaded his wife to leave him on the
pretext that her absence would make him
fonder of her and while sns was gone
divorced her and married a piano operator
In his own store.
This left her without support as her
means has been invested in the ruined bust
ness. With $500 she went to Kansas City
and undertook to run a fashionable board

Six years ago she was vaken from this

comfort to which she was accustomed and
took her simple fare and comforts at the
poor farm without complaint.
She asked continually for her husband
asking why he did not come to her, and
accusing the attendants of keeping her
separated from her own people.
Since her death it has been learned that
her husband Is living with his second wife
in Kokomo, Ind. The only other relative
she had in this country was a second
cousin who died recently in Avon, New
York. The executors Of the estate of this
cousin refused to advance money for her
burial, and the fact that she is to be buried
