IRgalls Repents,His Sins.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. GA special to the
Post-Dispatch from Nashville, Tenn,
says there was striking scene in the
Gospel Tabernacle here last night.
Rev. Sam Jones, the noted Georgia
evangelist, is preaching there and in
his audience was ex-senator John J.
Ingalls, of Kansas. The ex-senator
was deeply interested In Mr.. jones'
remarks, and when as is usual at the
close of the sermon a call was made
for those who had repented and want
ed to lead better lives to come forward
and shake his hand, the first to re-
apond was the ex-senator.
"Mr. JONES'" he said, "your sermon
has moved me. L endorse every word
you have said.n
MAY God bless you" was the evan
gelist's words, and the scene closed.

Quoted. Walter Lefevre, while
young In years was in all probability
one of the most scholarly men of his
day His position as a member of the
University faculty redounded greatly
to the credit of the Univ ersity of
Texas, and his loss is one that neither
time nor circumstances can we'll make
amends for. He was known and re.
spected by hosts of friends in this city
and in the United States. He was
scholar, a gentleman and a Christian.
In his daily walks and conversations
he was known by his
kindly deeds and wise counsel
and the high respect in " HIGH he was
held by the students of the Univep.
sity was shared in every respect by
the distinguished gentlemen who com.

His rapid decline several months ago
filled the hearts of all friends with
vague misgivings as to his future, but
loving hearts and tender hands did
all that was possible for him. Some
five weeks ago, feeling that change
to Baltimore and more experienced
medical advice might be for his bet

there. Providence, however, wiiled
that he should return to
the home of his fathers and
having thus willed 1t, all that mortal
hands could do awaited nothing. His
spirit took its flight to its heavenly
home, and all that was mortal of

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.
Baker Thinks the Democratic COMMITTEES
will Not Get Reply Soon.

Will Not Get Reply Soon.
Special to The Statesman
WACO, Feb. 9.-This afternoon in an
Interview Hon. Waller S. Baker stated
to The STATESMAN reporter that he
would not express an opinion on the
action of the state committee of which
he is chairman until the committee de.
eide upon the reply to be made to the
resolutions and propositions Of The
Matlock committee. However it may
be put down as official that meeting
OF the Baker committee will be held
for the purpose of considering the
proposition among other things. From
the information coming to THE
STATESMAN correspondent today the
MatlocE committee will hardly
receive an answer to its propositions
as early as the time indicated in the
proposition submitted by Chairman
Baker.
The committee meeting (Baker,) ac-
cording to present indications, will be
held about the middle of March, and
LIe cali tor the meeting Is expected to
be issued within the next 10 days. The
holding of the meeting at that time
will permit of the consideration of the
Matlock committee proposition and at
the same time permit the com.
mittee to dispose of other
proper business which will come
before it without the necessity of an
other meeting, if such a course shall
be deemed proper.
From inquiries which have been
made it is believed that the Baker
committee is strongly inclined to favor
party harmony, but whether or not
upon the line laid down by the Mat
lock committee or upon what basis,
has not yet been learned. 1t is be-.
lieved, however, that the committee
will present plan which will permit
of harmony upon honorable terms to
all good Democrats who wish to re-
main in and support the party.

FRESNO, Feb, 9-News comes from
the mountains in Tulare county of an
other encounter between Sheriff Scott's
men and the BANDITS Chris Evans

sheriff's men discovered a hidden

an almost impenetrab!e thicket of

They could only follow the trail bv
crawling on their hands and knees.
After crawling some distance thew

they saw Evans and Morrall both in

the bandits that they did not stop to

the mountainside. TIE sheriff's
men fired half dozen shots without

bandits escaped in their shirt sleeves

sherlif's men are in hot pursuit, it is
believed decisive encounter will take
place soon. The place where the ban
