There were dry intervals. but after them tine water oame again with increased viciousness, and just as the hearse left the Capitol f1otel heavy shower began which continued all through the afternoon. The exercises in the ce-ne- tery were conducted before crowd much smaller than would have been the case had the weather been pleasant, but they were carried out to the letter, and tonight the body of William GoJoel Mes in ihe chapel of the Frankfort cemetery after one of the greatest funeral demonstrations ever seen in this state.
