Gentlemen of the Board of Directors OF the
Lexington Savings Bank:
We are again reminded, by the death OF
John &. Fall, who departed this life on
the fourth day of this month, at the ad-
vanced age of eighty years, that we should
keep our accounts settled and ready to be
balanced, having the credit in our favor.
Mr.. Fall came to Lexington, Mo-. in the
an active life, and after a Ions and bitter
conflict he ceased his labors and entered
upon the rest of the just and faithful.
Mr.. FalPs life was characterized by hon
esty, fidelity and modesty. He seemed
ever willing to do unto others as he would
have them do unto him, and governing
himself by this rule of right, he made life
a success and died respected and beloved
by those who knew him best. His
account with the world is closed up, and
the books, where he made his record, by
his modest yet firm and just conduct, are
squared, showing a large balance in his
favor.
As a testimonial of our respect and
esteem for him, be it
Resolved, That as members of the Boar
of Directors OF this bank, and his friends
and neighbors, we will always cherish his
memor and defend his name, and en-
deavor to emulate his example. For in
his death We have lost q faithful CO.
laborer in the business of our bank; the
community an old and honorable citizen,
and his family a gentle, indulgent father
and counsellor, and his church a useful,
devoted member.
Resolved, That this memorial be
recorded on the pages OF our records, and
a copy furnished the family of our de-
parted friend and brother, and a copy
furnished the city paper for publication.
Respectfully submitted.
M. CHAPMAN,
D.. w. B. TEVIs,
JOHN Z. RYLAND,
Committee.

hood and womanhood and have children
and even grandchildren of their own
remember the kindly face of Mr. Fall as
he taught them their lessons nearly half
a century ago. He was engaged in mer-
camille pursuits nearly all the time he
resided in this city, and fortunate, indeed,
was the dry goods merchant who could
secure Mr.. Fall's services as chief clerk
He knew ever detail of that business, and
his immense popularity made him a most
valuable employe. He was probably
known to every lady throughout this
county, and the stores where he was en-
ployed were always the most popular
ones with them, as he was never too busy
to wait upon them, and always told the
exact truth regarding the styles and
prices. He could sell goods where other
men would inevitably fail.
He lived a blameless life, and died
mourned not only by his relatives and
immediate friends, but by the whole
community, and many readers of this
obituary who reside in other states will
be panied to learn of the death of this
truly good man.
The funeral occurred last Sunday after
noon, the sermon being conducted at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Nichol-
son. Rev. w. |. Cole spoke eloquently OF
the deceased and his life's labors, and his
remains were escorted to the grave by a
large concourse of friends who had known
and loved him in life. We extend the
sympathy OF this paper to the relatives of
the deceased in this sad hour of their
bereavement.

The Great Evangelist Will Lecture
at the New Grand.

Rev. Sam p. Jones will make his first
visit to Lexington today, and will lecture
at the opera house tonight. Large dele
cations from adjoining towns will be here
to hear him. Sweet Springs and other
points along the Missouri Pacific will be
we'll represented. The east bound Mis-
souri, Pacific train will be held here until
10 o'clock, to enable all who desire to
return home tonight after the lecture to
do so. The opera house will probably be

advance sale of tickets has been large,
but there are plenty OF goods seats yet
left however, and If you have not pur-
chased your ticket do so early this
morning.
Rev. Sam p. Jones who lectures here
tonight is the only Rev. Sam p Jones who
has ever lived or ever will live. He is the
original the only Sam Jones. Perhaps as
much Is known of his history by our
readers as any man alive, but many have
never seen or heard him. II you have
never heard him hear him tonight. The
proceeds OF the lecture will go to the
district parsonage fund to pay off a debt
that is on the presiding elders nome.

THE GREAT MEETING .
At the Methodist Church Grows III
Interest Daily.

The revival at the Methodist church Is
the general topic of discussion here in
Lexington now. Go where you will in
town and you will hear men talking
about it.
The church is crowded to its utmost
capacity each night, and hundreds are
turned away, unable to obtain admission.
Overflow meetings are being held each
evening and these are being well attended.
The day services are being well attended.
The interest in the meetings was at
fever heat a week ago, but it is increasing
and broadening with each service. The
conversions have oeeu many. Perhaps
over a hundred nave confessed their sins
and resolved to lead a Christian life. The
penitents are numbered at each service by
the score. The church is wonderfully
revived.
Rev. John b. Culpepper is doing some
excellent preaching. He talks very
plainly of sin to sinners. He is one of
the most earnest preachers we ever heard.
Rev. MIR. Johnson, who conducts the
music, has been OF much service in the
meeting, and has preached several power
full sermons.
been constant and tireless workers.
Among others who have assisted at
various times are the Rev. Messrs. Nc
Farland, Eastwood, McCrory and Bull.
DR.. s. A. Smith, of the Baptist college,
has also made some very fine talks at the
meetings..

JOHN Galloway FALL.

1t is with most sincere regret we learn
of the death OF this good man.. We were
in years past in positions of such charac-
ter that we can testify to his sterling
worth and integrity as a Christian and
good citizen, being intimately associated
with him in business and socially. We
feel in his death we ave lost a dear and
valued friend, whose loss saddens our
heart. Lexington never had a better citi-
zen. While he never sought honors, his
humble Christian walk shed bright light
in the circles in which he moved. He
was a man OF noble character and above
%reproach. During his long residence in
Lexington naught adverse was ever
spoken of him. While his death causes
us a falling tear, we realize our loss is his
eternal gam, and while we still battle the
storm of life. his soul is in a brighter,
happier world, and is forever at rest, and
we bow submissively, feeling that it is
Gods will he ''come up higher" and IL
we but follow his example we will unite
with him again on that blissful shore
Where sickness. sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more"

GONE TO HER REST.

Selected by a friend, in memory of Mrs.
j. W. Waddell.
"Gone to her rest is our loved one de-
parted,
Gone to receive her eternal reward
Tried and found faithful-how sweet was
her welcome,
Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord
Out of the changing, the feeting and
undying,
Into the changeless, immortal and blest,
Into the bright and the happy forever:
Gone to her Savior, her refuge and rest.
Pure was her life and her anchor was
steadfast,
Firm on the rock she had stood from her
youth,
Closely she kept to the side OF her Master,
Near to the cross and its banner of truth.
Out OF she weeping, the hoping n
Into the fearless, the perfect and blest,
Into the beautiful land OF the morning,
Gone to inherit her mansion of rest.
Silent the voice that to all was so gentle,
Lonely the hearts that her loss will
deplore,
Vacant the place that was cheered by her
presence,
Sad are the homes she will visit 40 more.
Out of the toiling, the sleeping n
waking,
Into the glorhed state of the blest,
Out OF the shadow and over the river,
Gone to the sunshine, the reaping and
rest.
Bearing the likeness OF Him who redeemed
her,
Clothed in a garment OF joy from His
throne,
We shall behold her, our loved one de-
parted;
There we shall know her as once she was
known.
Soon will the mist from our vision be
lifted,
Soon shall we enter the vale of the blest;
Out of the signing, the pain and the
parting,
Into the meeting, the rapture and rest"

'"This contest is being watched by all
the world. It is memorable one, be-
cause |: is a fight against those who are
entrenched behind special privileges. Our
appeal is to the masses to make their
cause our cause. We ask them to give
the only support they can-their votes
and suffrages. Our cause appeals to the
poor because they have had their rights
trampled on by trusts and syndlcates.
"Our opponents come to the laboring
men to help the gold standard. If you
want to know what they will do for
you look a. the men who support the gold
standard. Have they ever been the de-
tenders of labor in it's struggles. Are
they the ones to whom laboring men
have been able to look for friendship,
for counsel and support? (Crles OF

plause.)
1.-THE rights of property and of persons
will be safer in the hands of the friends
of free coinage than if left with the trusts
and syndicates that have trampled on
the peoples rights. They tell me that
I have the presidents Of the railroads
against me. 1 say to you that 1t is not
the first time they have been against me-
When we were trying to put through the
house a bill requiring railroads to use
car couplefs that would not endanger the
lives Of men, we had them against u.s.
(Great apptause) And we had the rail-
road attorneys i'm that body against US
too. You know, too, that when we were
trying to secure arbitration 80 that i'm
partial boards might settle the
differences between the employer
and employe, we had these same inter-
ests opposed to us. It is my candid
opinion that the railroads are more op-
posed to me because I am in favor of ar
bitration than because I am for free
silver. (Deafening applause.)
GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.
There is another plank in our plat
form that does not meet with the appro-
baton of the railroad men, and that is
the one referring to government by IN
junction. QApplause.) That plank de-
clares for the right Of trial by jury, and
says that the principle of arbitration is
lust. No Republican has ever dared say
a word against arbitration. None of
them has ever spoken for it either (Ap-
plause.) That arbitration bill passed
the senate, and it was so just that a roll
call was not even demanded, so small
was the opposition. In this campaign
NO Republican speaker dares to de-
nounce it. Our platform declares for
that principle, for trial by jury and
against government by injunction, and
one of the saddeet things we have to
contemplate is that some of the rail-
th2:r ralONQS to
