Jones.

Mrs. Emma Charles Jones was
born at Staffordshire, England on
May IL, 1843. and died at st. Louis
at 4 p. m. July list, 1903. The re-
mains were brought to Monroe City
and laid in our beautiful cemetery.
Mrs. Jones was married to James
7. Jones. Dec. "A, 1857. To this un-
ion seven children were born, FIVE
of whom survive her, and three of
whom followed her here to lay her
to rest.
Mrs. Jones came to this country
when young, and lived a part of her,
life in Monroe City, where she left
many friends.
She was a consistent member of
the Christian Church for many
years and lived a life of faith and
trust in her Savior. And as she
come to the even tide of life, her
faith grew stronger, for she realized
that
The stream is calmest when it
nears the tide,
And flowers are sweetest at even
tide;
And birds most musical at close
of day,
And Saints divinest when they pass
away"
May her memory be sweet and
her rest perfect.

A Democratic Contest.

The Kansas City Star, which is
for General Hadley for Governor
and for Taft for President, wants
the Democrats of Missouri TO nomi-
nate Colonel Dave Ball for Govern
or.
Certainly. The Star does not
want Cowherd to head the Demo-
cratic state ticket for two excellent
reasons. First, because Cowherd is
admittedly the strongest man to
lead the Democratic fight in this
important campaign. Secondly, be-
cause Cowherd took an active part
in electing Crittenden and the de-
feat of the Republican city ticket in
Kansas City last year.
OF course the Star is against Cow
herd and of course the Star does
not want Missouri Democrats to
nominate their strongest man. But
the Star will find before this cam
paign is over that Missouri Demo-
Gratis are able to manage their own
affairs and that they will not make
their party nominations to please
their political enemies. Jefferson

Farmers should be on the lookout
for this fellow. A smooth duck
visits the farm and, represents that
he is authorized to inspect cattle
by the government. After he has
inspected the cattle he says they
are afflicted with tuberculosis. The
farmer asks him if he will have to
kill them. whereupOn he advised
him to sell them to someone who
would ship them out Of the coun-
try. The next day fellow comes
along and buys them at about half
what they are worth.-Queen City

San Francisco.-Francis ]. Heney,
leading figure In the prosecu-
ton of municipal corruption In this
city, was shot and seriously injured
Friday by Morris Haas, a Jewish sa-
loon-keeper, who had been accepted
as juror in previous trial and after
wards removed. it having been shown
by the prosecution that he was an, ex-
convict, fact not brought out in his
examination as venireman.
The shooting occurred in Superior
Judge Lawlors courtroom during re-
cess in the trial of Abraham Ruef, on
trial for the third time on the charge
of bribery.
At six o'clock at night Mr.. Heney
was conscious. He said:
II will live to prosecute him."
The physicians in attendance on
Heney expressed the opinion that he
would live. 1t had been ascertained
that the bullet, which had entered the
right cheek, had lodged under the left
ear, and had not entered his brain, as
at first feared. Mr.. Heney was taken
to the Lane hospital, where he is re-
ceiving the care of skilled surgeons.
When he was arrested. Haas said
he shot Heney because he had ruined
him. He is married man and has
four children. In a statement made to
Police Captain Duke he said:
"Heney denounced me in public,
which ruined my life and branded me
as an ex-convict. 1t was an outrage.
I am the wronged man. | do not care
what becomes of me now. l have sac
rificed myself not for my own honor,
but for those who are situated like my
self. | would not have brought my

fact that was an ex-convict would be-
come known. Heney ruined me. That

"The word Of the Lord came
expressly unto Ezekiel" 1T
ls the specific word which
calls to the specific service.
Ezekiel must needs feel that
God was speaking to him, and
to him alone, before there could
be ears to hear the message, a
heart to understand it's import,
and eyes to see the vision Of
Gods power and glory. SO,
with every servant Of the King
Emanuel.
Gods Word for everybody, but
Gods Word potent to the &C.
compIishment Of tho work
whereunto he hath sent II only
as II comes expressly to the In
divIduaI heart.
Have you never been read
Ing Gods Word, perhaps pas
sage which you had read thou
sands Of times before and had
found II bIessedly helpful and
comforting, but now II stands
forth In letters Of fire as though
traced there by the finger Of
God for you In particular? II
was as though God had spoken
audibly, and the conviction was
deep upon you that Gods spe-
cific call had come to your soul.
This Is the significance Of this
passage that "the word Of the
Lord came expressly unto Eze-
kiel."
II 10 one thing to hear or read
Gods Word, and II Is another
thing to feel 1.-THE Sword Of
the Spirit piercing to the very
center Of the heart.
1.-THE hand Of the Lord was upon
him." This ls a favorite ex-
preston Of Ezekiel In speaking
Of his enduement with power
for the work he was called upon
to perform. Vision, voice, touch.
Note that the three were essen
tlaI to full preparation for his
ministry. And is this not true
of every one who would engage
In Christian service? Vision Of
God and his power; the voice Of
God calling to service; the
hand Of God touching, the thrill
Of his power, like the electric
current passing to the great dy.
namo to enable II to perform Its
great task, might energize the
poor, weak, human arm Of flesh
and make II as the arm Of the
Infinite. ~
Shine forth, o God, that we
may be transformed by behold
ing thy glory; speak, Lord, that
the soul may be quickened into
life and action for thee; touch
US, Lord, that the finite may find
contact with the infinite, and re-
ceive the inflow Of thy power,
for without thee we can do MOTH
Ing.
