one of the founders of the Farmers
National bank in this city, and who
has been it's president for some twenty
years. has retired from the presidency,
and his son, Robert E. Jones, has been

master in the civil war, having been
commissioned by President Lincaln.
His retirement from the bank is due
to age and health, and the present pol

In the ring. o
Jack o'Brien, whom Ketchell beat
yesterday, is world-known fighter,
and has been at the game for about
fourteen years. He has been an in
and-out fighter, and either stood up
or laid down, as the money went
one way or the other. His last big
fight, prior to this one with Ketchell,
was with Tommy Burns in May,
1907. That fight was fixed good
and plenty. and went twenty rounds
After the fight, Jack, believing that
open confession is good for the soul
gave the whole show away, and
thereby acquired the title Of 1.-THE

Monarch Pursued by Fate.
Fate seemed to have pursued King
Leopold quite as relentlessly as EN-
peror Francis Joseph. He lost his only
son in so sudden and so mysterious a
manner that to this day number of
people are convinced that the lad was
poisoned. Leopold's favorite nephew
and heir, whom he had grown to look
upon as a son in the place of the boy
whm he had lost, succumbed to VIC
Ience while engaged in a questionable
intrigue, the mansion in which the ira
gedy occurred, at Brussels, being point
ed out to all visitors to the Belgium
capital.
Leopold's only sister, ex-Empress
Charlotte Of Mexico, had to be restrain

shot down by a file of soldiers in Mex
leo as an adventurer, while his eldest
daughter, Princess Louise. after run
ming away from her husband and be
coming involved in charges of forgery
and fraud, was long confined as insane
in a sanitarium near Dresden.
Attempt Made on Life.
In 1902 an attempt was made upon
his life by an anarchist, and a few
years ago King Leopold witnessed the
destruction of the greater portion Of
his favorite palace, Laeken, and of
most of his family treasures by fire,
his youngest daughter, Clementine, al
most losing her life in the flames.
which killed her old governess and
lifelong companion.
For long time the king INDUCED in
one great hobby which thrust every
other consideration in the background.
This was the prosperity and the growth
of the Congo state. Leopold came near
running himself financially in order 20
bring about a successful development
of this part of Africa He saved him
self in time by quickly realizing ST.,
