Mr.. Jones had been conducting a

were with him when he passed away.
Mr.. Jones arose from his berth in the
sleeping car about 5 O'Clock in the
morning and complained of nausea.
He drank a glass of hot water and i'm
mediately afterward collapsed. The
Rev. Walt Holcomb. who had been
associated with Mr.. Jones for a num-
Der Of years, took the dying man in his

vival services in almost every city in
the United States. His success as a
revivalist was marvellous. His power
over his audiences was that Of a man

His unconventional style of speak
ing is shown in some of the following
aphorisms, which have made his SER
mons famous:
1--WE see God all around us. The
mountains are Gods thoughts upheav-
ed. The rivers are Gods thoughts in
motion. The oceans are Gods thoughts
imbedded. The dewdrops are Gods
thoughts in pearls.
Il believe that the whale swallowed
Jonah, and the only reason don't be-
lieve that Jonah swallowed the whale
is because the Bible doesn't say Sc.
You don't believe what you don't
understand. Do you understand why
COWS have horns and some are
mulley?
Custom is the law of fools and is
running this country.

he had children born unto him.
Il used to dance, but when l wanted

IF any nan don't like what l say
let him come to me afterward and say
SO, and Ill-forgiye him.
You dance with this world and
you'll go to hell with this world.

NA1S1s
When Mr.. johnson, counsel for Mrs.
Walker, was asked what it contained
he said:
Il will not tell. 1t is beyond human
possibility for that paper to be made
public"
Richard w. Meirs, son-in-law of Mrs.
Wister and nephew of Mrs. Walker,
who is siding with his aunt, said he
hoped it would never see the light of
day. Il would rather have my tongue
cut out than reveal what was in that
paper" he said.
William Weightman was the founder
of the Powers & Weightman firm of
chemists, which since his death has be-
come the Powers eightman-Rosen
garten company. He was known to
have acquired IL vast fortune, and when
he died the public generally was sur
prised to find that nearly all of the vast
fortune was bequeathed to Mr.. Weight
mans daughter, Mrs. Annie Weightman
Walker. The suit to set aside the will
was instituted by Mrs. Jones Wister,
who was a daughter-in-law of Mr..
Weightman, but who remarked at the
death of her husband, John Weight
man. Mrs. Wister on behalf of her
minor daughter, Martha ,Weightman,
seeks to prove that Mr.. Weightman left
a codicil to his will amply providing
for his granddaughter and the other
heirs of the estate. Mrs. Walker de-
MES that any such codicil exists and
says the will probated was her fathers
last and full expression of his desires
in the matter.
If the will is broken five grand
daughters and Il grandson of Mr..
Weightman will be benefited. The
case has attracted considerable atten-
ton because OF the social prominence
of those concerned.

HIT BY STONE
FROM BOYS HANDS.

While driving on State street yes
terday afternoon Hyman Effren, Il
junk dealer, was hit on the head by a
stone thrown by a boy. The missile
was large, and struck Effren with
enough force to inflict a severe flesh
wound. After having it attended to
by a physician the junkman went to
police headquarters and reported the
case. He said he knew the boys
name, and intended swearing out a
warrant. Recently the police have
received many complaints about mis-
chievous boys who congregate on side
streets, and hurl sticks and stones at
|passersby. Severe punishment ad-
ministered to some of them would
probably cause the nuisance to be
abated.

here is not known, but as long as the
local builders continue to erect hous-
es without filing plans, they will
probably maintain their vigilance
here.
