The fire department last night
shortly after nine O'Clock. responded
to its regular daily call when flames
caused by an electric iron, broke out
in the Lennox hotel on West Yakima
avenue. Notwithstanding the fact
that number wagon made a record
getaway and arrived on the scene
within four minutes of the time that
the blaze was first noticed, a handy
bottle of Puritas had done the bust
ness long ere their arrival.
The woman who discovered the
blaze, according to her own story,
had left the room for a minute and
returned to find her ironing board a
mass OF Flames. Her screams of fire
brought one of the neighbors with a

the dangerous loking blaze, the man
heaved bottle water and all at the
buring board with telling results.

Bro. Hixson was one of the pur-
est and noblest characters. In all
the relations of life he was tried
and not found wanting. His char
acter was lofty and it was even
like a high-table land. AS Carlyle
said of Scott, Bro. Hixson was
healthy in body, healthy in soul,
we call him one of the healthiest of
men," There has been no sounder
piece of American manhood put
together than was found in him.
For sixty years he was in public
life, and without blot or stain,
Bro. HixsOn was unusually warm
hearted, cheerful, kind and forgiv-
ing. To those who enjoyed his con-
fidence he was communicative and
strongly attached He was chaste
and pure in conversation, courteous
in manner and loving in DISPOSE
ton. His death was not an eclipse,
but a glorious sunset. He fought
the good fight, he finished the
course, he kept the faith Truly,
he was good man and full of the
Holy Spirit and of faith, and much
people were added unto the Lord"
Funeral services were held in
the First Baptist Church of this
city Thursday afternoon, conducted
by his pastor Rev, B. D. Weeks, as
sisted by Rev. A. J. Thames, of Pal
myra and DR.. E. McNair of this
city. The funeral discourse, togeth-
er with a history of the life of the
deceased was given by the pastor.
The church was crowded with old
friends, and deep feeling was man
fest by the silent throng as the
casket was borne away at the close
, of the service. The remains were
conveyed to Hannibal and laid to
rest in the Mt. Olivet cemetery be.
