YOUNGER SISTER
Ada e. Miller Of Parks, Nebr, Writes
to Judge Bank in Effort
to Locate Her
Relative.
SAYS CHILD IS ADOPTED
Whereabouts Of Ira L. Smith or Wife
Emma, Would Aid in
Finding the
Girl.

Do you know the present address
Of Ira L. Smith or his wife Emma 4.
Smith, former residents of Keokuk?
Judge Bank has nicely written
letter from Ada f. Miller of Parks,
Dundy county Nebr., making inquiry
as to her sister Mary Miller whom
she says was adopted by family
named Smith, sometime between 1898
and 1902, and who lived on Blondeau
street in Keokuk. Miss Miller says
that she is seventeen years OF age
and that her sister will be sixteen
years of age the coming June.
An examination Of the records In
the county recorders Office discloses
the fact that John Miller of Joplin,
MO-, issued to Ira L. Smith and Emma
R. Smith, his wife, articles of adop-
ton Of child namsd Alberta Marie
Miller, who was born in June, 1898.
and whose mother was dead. and
who should therefore be known as
Alberta Marie Smith

nut these sisters in touch with each
other, and il any one has knowledge
OF the whereabouts OF the particular
Smiths in question, The Gate City or
Judge Bank would appreciate the in
formation so that it may be conveyed
to the waiting sister in Nebraska
1t was first thought that clue to
the identity Of the girl could be OBJ
tanned from family of M!llers who
are living In Keokuk. but this clue
failed to divulge the whereabouts OF
the girl in question.

Evening Pcst.l
NEW YORK. April 2.-Beyond the
fact that prices again held remark
ably firm in the face of all of the
pessimistic talk Of the day. there is
little to say of today's stock market.
Fractional advances were the rule
though trading was extremely dull and
the later movement toward the close,
when there was similar weaking in
two or three stocks, instances apart
from those affecting the general mar
ket. It again was pretty plainly man
ifest that the outside public was
more attracted to bonds under eX-
listing circumstances than to stock,
The noteworthy fact is the number OF
bonds dealt in. The list in which
there were actual transactions on
the exchange last week probably is
the longest in the institutions his
tory. British consols advancing near
ly Il point further today. marked an
advance Of almost exactly 2 points
since the "army crisis" came upon the
scene and brought the price within q
of the high level Of the year. All
European stock exchanges gave q
good account Of themselves today, but
consols and other stocks seemed at
the close to have reached the pres
ent elimination of their rise and
T. lombard street money rates were
quotably f1rmer.

The Florisel reported her position
as off the straits of Belle Isle. A con-

in reports that the sealer Southern
Cross had gone down with her crew
of TIA men. The Southern Cross is
