Chicago, Sept. 17.-Heavy frosts In

corn crop of the west Tuesday night.
and continuation of the unreasonable
weather Wednesday night added to the
total of the damage. which was al
ready believed to be large Reports
from the important centers In the
corn belt at midnight showed va
riety of conditions. Many places had
killing frosts, and great destruction to
the ripening ears of corn was believed
to be inevitable. In others clouds over
cast the sky. rain fell. and south winds
warded OF the danger to the farms.
Although Nebraska had been great
sufferer from Tuesday nights freeze.
all conditions changed for the better
Wednesday evening. Rain fell over
the greater part of the adjoining ter
ritory, and 1t was thought the great
est danger was over in that section.
Lincoln, however, showed tempera-
ture of "a degrees and the mercury was
falling. Heavy damage on the low
lands was regarded as a certainty and
the total loss was placed at rs per cent.
, The greater part Of the crop needed
ten days at least to mature.
That great damage has been done TO

reports. Railroad Investigations re-
suited in optimistic predictions. the In
dications along the great trunk lines
being that the damage outside OF Ne
braska has not been so great as was
at first reported.
In western Minnesota, northern
Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska and Wyoming, Washington
dispatches say. corn is not out OF dan
ger, and losses will be heavy. Kansas
is said to be the only state where the
corn is sufficiently advanced to make
frost harmless.
Experts hesitate to place any esti-
mate of the total damage, but they
agree that 1t will be large. The eject

is hope that 1t will not reach the ap-

calls him a lost man. Now, while the
day Of grace brings salvation nigh,
He seeks to have the man on the sand

Of Gods wrath against sin breaks over
the soul 1t may leave the shifting sand
and find safety and security upon the
everlasting Rock, but when the dark
night settles down, II will be too late
Nothing then can save the man with.

become the lost man, and only eternity
will reveal all the horror and agony
and anguish of the soul fost II
its sin. The wise man who estab

After the war he returned to his
home and resumed the practice OF
farming until he came here with his
son, N. G. Stonec, of the Stoner

Mr.. Stoner was always an active
member of the G.. A R., In whose
charge the funeral services will be
held. He was a past commander
of the local post, and one of Its
pillars. The last seen of him by
many was at the funeral of his
comrade, ". Fl. Mervil'e, to atterd d
which he came from a sick bed
which would have prevented less
indomitable will from that exert'on.
He has gone followed by the re.
spect of every man who knew him.
He has gone with a clean record to
meet his Father. He has gone to
be with the old comrades who have
gone before, only a few Of whom
are left, and most of them will be
with him soon. He has gone to
wait for them on the other shore
With "Old Glory" around him, he
will be laid to rest, a man In life
and a saint In death.
He Is survived by his excellent
wife Mrs. Catherine Stoner, and
six children: W. S. and c. NJ, of
Connellsville, Pa, Mrs. Oliver
Shaw, of Plttsburg, Pa, N. c. and
Lulu, of this city, and Fred, Of
Kansas.
The funeral services will be held
from the Baptist church Saturday
