military measures to protect non-strikers.

of the audience was composed of this

marched in in a body, and occupied
reserved seats near the front.
The services began with an organ
voluntary by Mrs Kelley. Rev. I. A.
Wharton led in prayer. Miss Mary
Dale Figuers played with good express

Hutsel sang THE Holy City," his
splendid voice filling the church with
melody.

Romans as his text. II am debtor

JOHN C. DEX-
TER'S WILL.
Did He Destroy II, or Was II Stolen
From His Desk?
There il Strong Evidence That He
Made One, ana Very sensa-
tionaI Rumors Are Afioat.

Private letters received before his
death by friends here. from Mr.. JOhI
G. Dexter. who died in Cincinnati last
week, Justify the belief that he die
not die intestate. Private converse
tions with him as to his intentions,
strengthen that opinion, and a some
what lengthy paper prepared before
his death and found among his papers
in sealed envelope directed to j.
Briggs McLemore, Esq. removes all
reasonable doubt that he left will.
and yet, the instrument can nowhere
be found.
Mr.. Dexter left life insurance poll
cies aggregating $1S, 500. He was un-
married, had neither father. brother
nor sister, and without will his
mother will be his sole heir. But IT
is rumored that that was not his inten-
ton or desire. 1t is claimed that his
will-if found-will show bequest
of not less than five, perhaps ten thous-
and dollars in favor of young lady to
whom he was very devoted, and also
a bequest of s.. 600 to Phintias Lodge,
knights of Pythias.
MIR. Dexter's friends here do not
know who first had access to his desk
and papers, but it is claimed that
large envelope, marked last will and
testament was found with one end
neatly clipped off, and empty; and
other suspicious circumstances indica-
ting theft of the will, are talked off.
Whether it was destroyed, or whether
it was stolen and is being held for re-
ward, cannot be told.
The private paper addressed to Mr..
McLemore contains some very salty
reading. and some very sensational
charges, and discloses very unhappy
state Of mind The writer seemed
uneasy and distressed for fear his
wishes expressed in his will would not
be carried out, and enjoined upon MI.
McLemore, as his Executor, not to
permit any Misrepresentation or
''trickery" of any one to defeat his
wishes.
Mr.. McLemore declines to give out
the contents of the paper for publica-
ton, and the statements therein are
of 80 serious and deplorable nature,
that we will not publish them from
hearSay.

walks out between the soldiers on his

Life is partnership, said the

debtors to the past by our enlighten-

we are debtors to the present for our

We are in this world not to see how
much we can get out of it, or what

here with the obligation of God upon
us, to do all the good we possibly can,
by precept, by example, by right liv-
ing. God help us to 80 live that we
may pay some of the great debt we
owe.
The speaker was clear and logical;
his picture of life and trials of st.
Paul was so real and so vivid that
he seemed to live again the life led
by the apostle; and he made his
hearers to live this life and see
things as he saw them. There were
no tired listeners. Many longer SER
