CLEVELAND, Feb. 19.-The last
rites were pronounced here today over
the body Of Senator Hanna. The
whole city is in mourning and almost
all business has been suspended. For
brief space of time during the
funeral service hardly a wheel turn
ed and hardly a lick of work was done
throughout the entire city.
In compliance with Governor Her
rick's proclamation and the mayor S
request all street car and machine
shops industries stopped for five min
utes beginning at l o'clock.
Shortly before that time the body
of Senator Hanna was removed from
the hamber, of Commerce. where it
has been viewed by $4,000 people and
was taken to St Pauls church under
a police and military escort The
streets en- route We're again lined with
craWds who stood with barred heads.
Admittance to the church was Sc
cured only by card. The mourners
were followed into the church by the
governor and his staff and by the
congressional delegations. The
church was filled almost entirely by
delegations from the state Legislature,
different orders to which the senator
belonged and members of the National
Civic federation.
Bishop Leonard delivered the
eulogy.
When the pallbearers again took
up their burden all remained seated
until the mourners went out. AL
though the crowd outside was inn
mense the police and military pre-
served order, Only p few carriages
followed the casket to the cemetery
where it was deposited in chapel

DEVELOP ON ST. JOE

An effort will be made in the spring
to boom the upper st. Joe river dis
trict as a mining section, according to
Mike Dowd, the mining man, who has
quite extensive interests there. Al
party of 20 is already organized to
make the trip and locate claims and
otherwise develop what is partially
unexplored wilderness.
Mr.. Dowd has made several trips
into the section and located several
claims and believes the district will
eventually become great mining
center. Its close proximity to the FAM
Gus Occur d'Alene district is a point
in it's favor, and the rivers and creekt
are said to be loaded with placer gold,
The intention of this party is ID
make as many locations as possible,
then send representatives to the east
and raise money for development.

presehce, refusing to go with him to
church, tbeater or any social gathering
and alleging when she did go she

4 Merritt, the attorneys for Mrs. Will
son, however, turned the tables on
Attorneys Etoll & Adams, who were
for Mr. Wilson. In their cross COM
plant they charged Mr.. Wilson with
being a mental scientist, and that the
close application to the study of the
science had made him quarrelsome.
The case was tried before Attorney

ed the case in favor of Mrs. Wilson.

SKYWARD

CHICAGO, Feb. l9.-All records for
wild excitement were threatened on
the board of trade this morning At
the tap of the bell, May wheat started
up and went to $l.0l 3-S. Armour
then let go of his big holdings and
the market slumped to $50 IL, amid
wild pandemonium. The shorts bought
and forced the price up again until it
reached the highest mark that it has
up to this time gone. The high price
is caused by the war in the far east.
