He had pictured himself as old fam

shrewdness. tempered by generous
disposition, enabled him TO learn of and
comment upon the affairs of his neigh.

dom that was unfailingly delightful.
We learn that this product was partly
spontaneous and partly the result OF
study, and that Lloyd spent much Of his
time gathering the material near Mt
hand, which he then presented under
the guse of the musings Of hsimagined
character of Uncle Rufus.
He began his writings while engaged
in rcportorial work In Montgomery;
then, finding that he could dispose Of
them to syndicate of papers, no de-
voted himself entirely to this work, and
retired to his home In Butler county.
He emerged therefrom to respond 10 the
demand Of the public for Il lecture.
This effort proving successful, he made
several tours, visiting many Of the
southern states az far west az Texas.
He also took part in politics, and repre-.
3ented Montgomery county in the as-
1cmbly of 1892 .gb and Butler county In
the legislature at its last term, having
defeated the popnlist candidate In what
is regarded as populist stronghold.
In the legislature he made fine
record, speaking to advantage on sub
iccts of interest TO the state, and voting
always to the dictates Of his conscience.
In this public sphere, as In the private
one, he displayed moiesty and earn.
estness that could not fail to commend
him to every one.

JUMPED INTO A. WELL.
James Davis Found Drowned in
a Well Ten Miles South
of Town.

Yesterday morning about o'clock
James Davis was found dead in the
we'll on his place about ten miles south
west of Topeka.
Several of the neighbors saw Davis
Monday afternoon and said he was in
low spirits and was wandering about in
a demented manner but as this was not
an unusual occurrence nothing was
thought of the matter. Yesterday
morning several of the neighbors went
to Davis house but did not find him.
Some one happened to look in the we'll
and saw him head downwards in the
water. The body was taken from the
we'll and from all appearances he had
been dead for a considerable time.
Davis had been in an insane asylum
about Is years ago. His wife has been
dead for sometime and he has been liv-
ing alone on his place for several years.
Coroner Westerfie1d was called and an
inquest held. The verdict that was
reached was that he died from drown
ing.'' There were no bruises on the
body and there was no supposition of
violence. 1t is thought that in his low
spirits he committed suicide by jump
ing in the well. There was II feet of
water in the well and it was with some
difficulty that the body was raised.
The funeral took place this morning at
10 o'clock
