A REMARKABLY STRONG man

The angel of death has certainly
been hover ng about Denison of late.
One Of the last visitations was at the
home of Samuel Luney, who was
called on Wednesday evening of last
week. Mr.. Luney had been complain
ing for several months. but his friends
evidently did not appreciate the
seriousness of his illness until q short
time prior to his death. He went in
the spring. with his brothers to South
Dakota. to assist in their farming
operations, which are conducted on a
large scale. While there, his condi-
tion became such, that it was thought
advisable for him to return to his
home. No permanent improvement
came from the change. and he grad
ually lost in strength. until few
days before his death. when he rapidly
grew worse. From that time en- his
friends dispared of his recovery, and
his death, when it occurred. created
no surprise. His wife. his brothers
and sis'ers. and family generally.
were With him at the time of his
death.
Samuel Luney was prominent
citizen of Denison. and man who
was universally esteemed. For forty
two years. he had lived in this COM
munity and enjoyed the friendship and
confidence of large circle of ac-
quaintsnces. He was born sixty five
years ago, in Belfast, ireland. and
when twelve years of age, came with
his parents. Thomas and Mary Luney.
Sr., to the United States. settling at
Pontiac, Illinois. In March 1867. they
I came TO Crawford county, and lived
upon ! farm I few miles east Of Den.
ison, until thirty-two years ago when
Samuel came ia. Denison, where with
his brothers he engaged in the manu-
facture Of farm implements. Their
business expanded until they estab-
lished foundry and flour mi,l.
They retired from this business. how
ever. a number of years ago, and
since then have been interested in
farming and handling real estate.
The deceased was married in 1880. to
Mary Jane Hughes. and to them were
born, three children. Mrs. Ida Siev.
ers, Jennie Leora and Robert Samuel
Hughes. All of their children survive
him. Mrs. Luney died March 18th,

married second time to Lena

work for success and its dignity; and
Mr.. Naeve eulogized what Denison

Of a city praised for right things.
DR.. Ostrom, the special guest Of the
evening expressed his pleasure Oh
the number present and the good
fellowship apparent. He plead for

success.

and the horses fell down, and at the
time it was supposed their iimbs. were
broken. and both occupants Of the
buggy jumped out to assist the horses.
No sooner had they reached the ground.
than the horses extricated themselves
and run away with the Doctors medi-
cal cases in the buggy, as we'll as
robes. cushions etc. The Doctor and
Mr.. Lally pursued the team for some
distance, but found they were unable
to overtake them. They then returned
to Ieloit. secured team and drove
home. Afterwards they made ar
effort to find the team, but the effort
proved unsuccessful. Later on, anc
about 2 80 on Monday morning, some.
one from the liverybarn at Denisnn,
located the team and buggy about
seven miles from Deloit and east OF
Denison, where they had landed in 8
ditch. When rescued, it was founc
that no substantial damage had beer
done to either the team or the buggy

REV. DR.. LAWS CONTENTION
SUSTAINED BY THE SYNOD
Presbyterians Adopt Resolution,
Hoping That No One, No Matter
How Distinguished, May Be Invited
to Participate in Laynen's Mission
airy Convention In Washington.

Elkins, w. Va, October 23.-The
Synod of Virginia, embracing the
Presbyterian churches OF Virginia,
and the District of Columbia, which
has been In session here, adopted a
resolution expressing disapproval OF
the invitation extended the President
of the United States to make the open
ing speech before the laymen's mis-
sionary convention. which convenes
In Washington on November II.
The resolutions sustain the conten
ton of Rev. Dr. s. S. Laws, OF Wash
ington, who is a prominent retired
Presby erian divine. Objection is
made to the President on .ccount of
his being a member of the Unitarian
Church.
The Resolutions.
The report submitted to the synod
which was adopted, follows:
Your committee appointed to re
spond to the addresses of Messrs. Os
from and friend, representing the
Layman's Movement, would heartily
commend the movement, and would
say Godspeed 10 every effort made for
its advancement, and earnestly hope
our whole Southland may soon be i'm
bued with its interests.
"And we do most sincerely express
the hope that the movement may con
tinue to be controlled by those who
hn1inun in tbo, nnffu ~
however distinguished may be his
position, may be invited to take part
in the proceedings who does not so be
Heve"
Follows Much Discussion.
This action of the, Presbyterian
Synod of Virginia, in the confines of
which will be held the laymens mis-
sionary convention, followed the pub
LEGATION in the Washington Herald of
open letters criticising the invitation.
In one OF these open letters, the case
was illustrated thusly by DR.. Laws:
"R the Democratic or the Republi
can party were to hold in this city
national convention and invite as it's
chief guest and orator to deliver it's
opening address the leading politician
CT the opposite party, the incongrui'y
and adsurity would be a matter of
public ridiculel In religious circles
the case criticised is even more redic
ulous. and the reason people are not
correspondingly affected many be that
they are more sensitive to political
than to religious freaks. Inevitably
the public must regard the body TAX
ing such a proceeding as compromis
ing itself a proceeding as compromis
ing itself in making light cs or treat
ing as Indifferent one Of the funda
mental doctrines of Christianity"
