him wildly. but he was now panic
struck, and would not move. The shores
opposite him were rocky and steep, and
spiked with drift wood. The men stood
at the only spot where he could reach

the face Of almost certain death.

The speakers paused. for along the

arms and chest knotted beneath his red
shirt as he breasted the wind. His sup
pie stride brought him quickly 10 the
bank. There was a CLEAN in his wild
eyes. and he laughed aloud in the pride
of mastering The gale. The angry river
was as lear as the currents of his own
reused blood. and he longed to test the
great strength of his splendid body or
find a problem for his crowding

diana to-day. Before being taken to
Terre Haute the body will lie in state
at the capitol at indianapolis, at the
suggestion Of Gov. Mount.
Funeral services were held here
at noon to-day in st. Johns Episco-
pal church, after which the remains
were removed to the Pennsylvania
railroad station, and. accompanied by
the family and Senator Wilson, left
on the Chesapeake & Ohio at $50.
The honorary pallbearers selected
were: Senators Morrill,, Turpie. j. X.
Jones, Wilson and Cullom; ex-senator
Butler, Judge Lawrence Weldon and
Hon. Richard j. Bright.
The original intention was to take
the body direct to Terre Haute and
have funeral services there Wednesday
or Thursday. contingent on the arrival
of the ex-senator's eldest son from
Spokane. Wash. but the plans were
changed last night by the receipt Of
the following telegram from the private
secretary to Gov. Mount.

as far as Ann Arbor. We purchased
5000 sheep and with another man and a
dog started TO drive them TO Iowa

We had wagon and in the back OF il a
barrel of cider. Well. we were just four
months on that trip, but it was good,
healthy exercise. and I believe we en-
joyed every moment. OF course there
were onxieties. For example. when we
struck Illinois some of the roads weren't
properly fenced and the sheep would
scatter out ali over the country. Then
came lively work. but. fortunately. the
dog was as good as four men.
