One of the pioneer farmers Of Benton
township, Mich, is Elnathan Munger. De.
spite the many privations and difficulties
which "a pioneer contends with, Mr.. Munger
has succeeded. He has also served as clerk
of his township, and is known as q careful,
conscientious and honorable citizen.
His busy life has not been all sunshine,
however, and in speaking to our reporter OF
his struggles in earlier days, he said:

cut. 1t seemed as though the great weight
of my fall drove my arms back and injured
both them and my backbone.

called and on the Friday night following |

JACKS SWIM rs FOR MURDER.
Declares There Is No God, or He Would
Not Have To Hang.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-George H. Jacks,
formerly chief of police at Muskegon,
Mich, and John Druggan, both con-
victed murderers, were hanged on the
scaffold in the county Jail. Some time
before the hanging Jacks sent a letter
to the Taller, in which he says: please
do not let any Of the clergy in to see
me. If I, an innocent man, be hanged
today without the right to have the
highest court in the land pass upon my
case, which is all prepared, at great ex-
pense to myself and labor to my friends;
If 1 am refused this right, which every
man is entitled to, there certainly can
be no God above us, and in that case the
clergy can do no good"
Jacks was hanged for the murder Of
a collector named MCGEE, and was con-
victed by circumstanIIal evidence and
the testimony of the alleged pal. For
some years Jacks was in the life-saving
service; later he was chief of police at
Muskegon, and a deputy United States
marshal and finally chief of the fire de-
partment. While holding these offices
he saved as many as ten or a dozen
lives, often at the imminent risk Of his
own. But there was less heroic side
to his career during the same period,
for he was engaged in systematic bur-
glary, which his cleverness failed to
conceal, and he finally landed in the
Michigan penitentiary.
Druggan was just a common city thug,
who in attempting to rob man killed
him because he wouldn't submit to rob-
berry

ONE MILLION ALONG THE LINE.

So the Crowd Is stimated-President on
the Reviewing Stand.
The reviewing stand was In front of
the Union League club on jackson
street. where II Is very. narrow, owing
to the space taken up by the building
operations on the new postoffice on the
opposite side of the street. Consequent
ly the president could have reached
over and shaken hands with the men
passing in the parade. There was tre-
mendous enthusiasm here. The pro-
cession cheered, the people on the
great stand built In the postoffice lot
cheered, the people who stood packed
on the sidewalk and accepted every
point of vantage In sight of the re-
viewing stand cheered. and those on the
stand itself assisted in swelling the
volume OF reclamation.
During this hurricane of hurrahs the
president stood bowling to the ranks
as they passed. After the procession
has all gone by the chief magistrate
will take a rest and at $3.50 this even
ing will drive to the Auditorium again,
where a banquet will be given in his
honor, at which there will be T5O guests,
and there will be seats for 1,500 specta-
tors. The toasts will begin at p. m.
Franklin MacVeagh will preside and
responses will be made by Clark Howell,
President Mckinley, Adlai E. Steven
son, Nelson A. Miles, William r. Shat
ter, Joseph e. Wheeler, Commodore
Philip, James B. Angel, Lyman j.
Gage and Samuel Gompers.
The arrangements for handling the
crowd were complete. Police officials
estimated that 100000 people were
massed along the line of march. To
handle this great throng there were
2,10o men under the command of four
inspectors. Patrolmen were stationed
every five feet along the line of march.
One inspector was in charge of every
ten blocks, and a captain Of every three
blocks. All officers wore dress coats,
belts clubs, helmets, white gloves.
standing collars, and black neckties.

TUESDAYS JUBILEE PROGRAMME.
Five Thousand People See the Formal
Welcome to the President.

Five Thousand People See the Formal
Welcome to the President.
Chicago, Oct. 19.-Five thousand peo-
pie packed within the walls of the Au-
ditorium witnessed the formal welcome
of the president and other peace jubi-
lee guests The days weather was
abominable. A heavy drizzle at times
changed into rain, and then. back into
drizzle; the streets were filled with pud-
dies of water and cold wind was blow
ing. Notwithstanding all these obsta-
cles the welcome was a distinct and
brilliant success. 1t was announced that
the ceremonies would commence at 1890
a. M, and fully an hour prior to that
time the street in front of the Auditor
ium was packed with an eager crowd.
After the doors had been thrown open
there was long wait for the speakers.
Owing to a misunderstanding, in which
the president had no part, it was ten
minutes past II when Mckinley entered
the hall.
AS he entered the whole house rose
as one man and cheered him wildly.
With the president were Ex-Governor
Oglesby, of Illinois; Lafayette McWill-
Jams; President Harper, of Chicago uni
versity, and Thomas B. Bryan, Of Chi
cago. The ladies Of the party COM
prised Mrs McWilliams and Miss Dun
! can, and were in a box adjoining that
of the president. In the first box at the
left of the stage was General Miles, and
the boxes next were occupied by men,
bers of the various diplomatic corps.
Secretary Gage was in a box in the Sec
ond tier almost directly opposite the box
of the president. In a box near that of
General Miles was General Shafter.
After the presidential party had taken
seats Rev. Frank w. Gunsaulus, chap
lain of the meeting, offered prayer.
Chairman Charles Truax on behalf of
the jubilee committee, then made a
short opening address, and introduced
George X. Peck as presiding officer, who
also spoke.
At the conclusion of his address Peck
introduced Mayor Harrison, who also
extended formal welcome to the presi-
dent, the visiting dignitaries, and the
strangers who had come to Chicago t.
attend the jubilee ceremonies. Peck thc
introduced Archbishop Ireland. Tf
came Judge Emory Speer, OF Ceorc
He was introduced by Chairman Pc
who fought against him during the CT,

were loud cries Of Mckinley"
The president had turned to leave.
but as the calls continued he stepped to
the front of the box and addressed the
people.
The days festivities wound up with
two grand jubilee balls. one at the Au-
ditorium, which was the swell affair,
and another at Medinah temple, for the
jackies who saw service in Cuban wa
tiers. The president spent short time
at each one.
