that death would be the result of his
illness. The cause of death was u

weak for long time, and eXertions

collapse, from which he failed to

The evangelist broke down in Kan

services about "A month ago, and the
seriousness of his condition was so
apparent to the physicians who were
called to attend him that they forced
him to abandon his tour and return

He worked on farm until 1854, when
he became clerk in shoe store in

The arrangements for the funeral

but the services will be held next
Monday afternoon at o'clock in the

NO NEGROES ALLOWED.


Calhoun County People Object to
the Presence OF a Single "DarIky."
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 11-For half
century Calhoun county, Illinois, has
not had bank or a negro within It's
borders. Itihas not had railroad, a
telegraph or agtelephone line. It was
announced q short time ago that the
county would have a bank. The con-
tract was let. 81
The contractor thought that, If the
county accepted bank, it could also
stand a negro, In which he reckoned
without hiss host. The populace pro-
tested and descended in numbers with
ropes in their hands. To escape the
mob, which would. have lynched him,
samuel Washington, the negro in ques-
tlon, swan the Illinois river and walk
ed sixty miles back to Alton.
1t was late Saturday that the con-
tractlng company reached Hardin.
washington was engaged to carry the
nod. When the news spread that a ne
gro was in town and intended to stay,
the townspeople prepared to lynch
him. Washington heard the Vigilantes
coming and made for the river, tum-
bled in the water and swan to the
other side, with the gvigilantes. hot on
his trail. The crowd stood on the bank
and saw to it that the darkey did not
return.
The bank will be built, but no negro
will work on it. News of the uprising
reached Alton today, when Washing
ton tramped into town.
