of the first local preachers, and his
labors in this line of work are we'll

| OF the hrSt local preachers, and his
labors in this line of work are well
known.
INCIDENTS.
In the early days of the church,
when the Mineral Point circuit COM
prised. Linden, Mif1in, Dodgeville.
Ridgeway and Middlebury, he would,
after hard weeks work at the mason
trade, get up and away at z in the
morning to reach Ridgeway for morn
ing service; then to Middlebury for
afternoon; and on to Adamsville for
6 o'clock service, reaching home at 10
o'clock at night, after forty miles drive,
and preaching three times, ready to
take up his hammer and trowel the
next morning. He had in those days
a swift-footed horse, which he called
"Jack Shepard" and when often re-
minded that he had long journey be-
fore him, he would cheerfully answer,
"Oh, Jack, and will make it easily"
His loyalty to his church sometimes
brought forth the accusation of big
otry.
He was faithful in his friendship to
every minister in charge, and whether
he was his choice or not, he accepted
him and did all he could to make his
work successful.
For nearly two days prior to his
death he was unable to talk, and
hence no last words as we often look
for came from his lips; but on Friday
morning, one who was seated at his
side commenced to repeat the 23d
Psalm, and at the the utterance of the
first sentence, "The Lord is my shep-
herd" his eyes opened wide, and he
gazed intently into the face of the
speaker; then his eyes again closed;
but when the fourth verse was reached,
"Yea, though walk through the
valley and shadow of DEATH" ETC., the
tears gushed forth from his eyes, his
lips quivered with intense earnestness,
the old fire lit up his countenance, and
his whole being trembled with impas-
stoned zeal, as if to say: 1t is all
true; [ am now experiencing what
| have believed, and tried to persuade
others to believe, these many years.

MYSTERIOUS POISON CASE
Two Young Women Suicide By Poison
in a Chicago Hotel
A MISSISSIPPI GATHERING
MISSISSIPPI GATHERING
A Mob Attempts to Take Possession OF
Court House While the Court
is in Session

CHICAGO, May 1.-Two women who
registered recently at the Leland hotel
as Miss Orme and Miss Valquave, of
New York, attempted to commit sui
eide yesterday. More than the usual
mystery surrounds the case. The
women occupied one apartment, and
the evidence points to compact to de-
stroy their lives.
Late last night the women were
identified as Miss Ollie Plows and Miss
Shaw. Miss Plows is sister of Plows,
the confectioner, and has been living
at $50 West Monroe street. She disap-
peared some ten days ago. Except the
name Shaw nothing has been ascer-
tanned concerning the other woman.
They registered at the Leland on Tues
day, and 1t is believed they are the
same women who attempted self-de-
struction in a New York hotel early in
the week. Miss Plows purchased NOR
phine yesterday, and late last night
both took the drug. AS they did not
appear for dinner last night suspicion
was aroused, their room was entered,
and both found in a dying condition.
Physicians were summoned, and they
worked for twelve hours trying to re-
suscitate the pair.
1t is said that Miss Shaw will re-
cover, but there is little hope for Miss
Plows. Both are handsome women,
the mysterious Miss Shaw not being
over Is, and Miss Plows about 20.
The only motive is supposed to be
peculiar attachment and romantic de-
sire to die together. The story is whis-
pered about hotels that Miss Shaw was
poisoned by Miss Plows, and that jeal-
ousy was the motive. Miss Plows then
attempted suicide.

MOB IN MISSISSIPPI
Takes Possession of a Court House and
Attempts to Run Things

Takes Possession of a Court House and
Attempts to Run Things
JACKSON, Miss, May 5-Court at
Brookhaven this morning was to have
been occupied with the cases of the ten
"white caps" in Jail here. for shooting
a negro and burning his cabin several
months ago.
The court had just opened when a
mob of 100 men rode into town and
surrounded the court house and Jail .
They were all armed with shotguns
and muskets, and swore they would re-
lease every prisoner. For an hour they
held the Jail, threatening the life of the
judge and all the officers who dared to
oppose them. They would let no one
leave the place, and it was sometime
before the citizens of the town knew of
the disturbance. The citizens finally
went to the rescue, and the judge,
knowing what was coming, secured a
pistol and led a charge against the
mob. They retired to the suburbs, and
soon the town was in an uproar. The
outlaws awaited the attack in ambush
Sheriff McKair telegraped Governor
Stone for guns, and with a posse he
went to the scene in person, carrying
with him forty Winchesters and 1000
cartridges. Since his arrival nothing
has been heard.

moment she was enveloped in flames.
Another child, aged eight, heard her
screams and ran into the yard and
called for help. Two men responded
and found the woman burned almost
beyond recognition and three small
children standing over her, appealing
to her to speak to them. The woman
died in a short time. Domestic trouble
is supposed to have been the cause of
the suicide,

Chinese and Japanese Immi-

Nine of the japanese who have been
detained at Sumas during an investi-

bringing them into the United States
in violation of the contract labor law,
were yesterday taken to McNeils

States Marshal Delanty, who was sent,
to assist the customs officers i'm the in
vlstigatiOn. A trial was held before
Court Commissioner Phil A. Lawrence,
Emigrant Inspector Fisher acting as
the prosecuting officer, and the fact
developed that nine at least of the
party Of Japs were under contract to
another, who was acting in charge of
this personally conducted excursion, to
work for him, or the syndicate he rep
resented, as walters in japanese eating
houses at various points on the Sound.
The agent was hold in $1,000 bonds
for each of the laborers, or $1,000, and
the nine Japs held as witnesses and
taken through the city on the Great
Northern train for McNeiPs island
until the next term of the Federal
court.
The others of the party who were re-
fused admission were taken back to

ABOUT TWO CITIES

rheumatism among men and women is
not at all rare, but among the lower ami
mails it is not frequent. But there is
dog of the retriever variety in Whatcom
that is troubled with rheumatism, and
each day he is taken to a neighboring
drug store for treatment. When told to
come along he sets up pitiful whine
when he begins to move, but he goes
along willingly nevertheless, limping as
naturally as any old rheumatic "uncle"
down South.

Speaking of archives and tnat sort of
thing" said a county official yesterday,
reminds me OF an experience had while
in the army. 1t was just after the battle
Of Baton Rouge, and a lot Of us young
| fellows were looking for mementoes OF the
battle in the shape Of pistols, guns, etc.
abandoned by the enemy. Near farm
house, one Of the boys had picked up a
sword having on its hilt the name of John
G. Breckenridge, the confederate general.
| Passing into the deserted house, picked
up dragons hat, its tall plumes scarcely
soiled. What impelled me to do IT., don't
know, but lifting the lining Of the hat
inside Of 1t wrote Breckinridge's name.
Shortly after, one Of the boys on fur
Tough took the hat and sold 1t as the very
identical hat that Breckenridge wore dur
ing the battle. He rendered me my share
of the proceeds, $3.50, but years after
wards he told me that he had sold the hat
in Boston for s25, and today 1t is preserved
in Memorial hall among the archives,
relics and mementoes Of the great rebel
| lion."
A meeting will be held In Seattle next
week, at which an attempt will be made

dealers in the association had much TO do
with its dissolution. II is hoped that a
good representation OF tine shingle men

a leading jewelry store, and as the pro.
prietor did not have one In stock to suit
the bankers cultivated taste, the jeweler
was instructed to order one of certain
make. Pending its arrival he borrowed
one from the dealer. He had made the
acquaintance of young man in New
Whatcom to whom he promised place in
the bank. The young man went to Blaine
with the banker. Then the latter repre-
sented to the young man that he was sud

Sometimes we feel tnat thoughts are not
worth thinking;
Sometimes that laurels are not worth
the wreathing;
Sometimes 10 seems that wine Is not worth
drinking;
Sometimes that air is scarcely worth
the breathing.
Sometimes no friend seems worthy to be
trusted;
Sometimes on pessmism deep we bor-
der;
Sometimes with life we'er very much dis
gusted:
Sometimes our livers badly out of order.
