of Des Moines, has found his daugh-
ter, for whom he has been searching
for nearly 20 years, and father and
daughter have left Omaha for the
McNeal home, in Des Moines. While
the discovery and reconciliation were
made last January, the matter was
not made public until recently.
McNeal and his wife separated in
1896. while living in Seneca Kan.
TWO months later n little girl was
born. Three years afterward Mrs.
McNeal died. On her death bed she
wrote McNeal letter. telling him
that "A family by the name of Filkins
had adopted the child.
In January OF this year McNeal
came to Omaha to start Belgian
clothing campaign. In the Paxton
hotel cafe he was waited on by a
whoman whose face seemed familiar.
He asked the manager of the hotel
about her, secured her address and
called to see her Her name was
Mrs. Maubeta Warner.
Maubeta was the name OF the little
daughter whom McNeal had never
seen. Mrs. Warner resembled the
dead Mrs McNeal to such an extent
that McNeal was sure she was his
daughter.
But McNeal lacked proof. This he
found few days ago, in an Omaha
newspaper, published in 1896, in
which the story was told of the
adoption of Maubeta McNeal by the
Filkins family. McNeal has just com
pleted tracing the little girl into the
present Mrs. Warner.

The only surprise OF the great
French makers will be the fact that
the car is all completed and ready
for their inspection. They have
been In close touch with all the
plans and have seen the drawings
and approved of them. American
methods have made II possible TO
bring this car TO completion and to
