Mrs. Jenkins. if is said, has demanded
just at this time settlement from her
Western admirer under pain OF suit
against him. This concerns several
hundred thousand dollars worth
OF dividend-paying bonds and securities
which he presented her. At his sug-

deposit box in Chicago. To this recep-
tacle only she and the donor had keys.
Mrs. jenkins recently visited Chicago

OF the missing bonds and stocks. A big

been stocks and bonds OF the leather

HOUSE LEADERS
EULOGIZE DANIEL
Speaker Clark in Principal
Memorial Address.

The House yesterday devoted the en-
tire three hours OF its session to eulo-
gies of the late Senator John Warwick
Daniel, of Virginia, which was the spe-
cial order. An effort by Representative
Fitzgerald, of New York, chairman of
the House Appropriations Committee, to
secure consideration of a bill to supply
the deficiencies in the House contin-
gent fund. amounting to $S1.65O. failed
of success, owing to the objection OF
Minority Leader Mann.
Among those speakers who eulogized
the late Senator Daniel were the entire
Virginia delegation, Speaker Clark. and
Representatives Brantley Of Georgia,
Humphries Of Mississippi Richardson Of
Alabama. Henry of Texas, Olmstead of
Pennsylvania. Mccall of Massachusetts.
Small Of North Carolina, and Kahn of
California.
Referring to the late Senator Daniels
eloquence, Speaker Clark said:
He was lavishly endowed by nature
with the elements and qualities which
constitute an orator. Some men are so
ugly and ungainly that 1t is a positive
advantage to them as public speakers
by reason Of the pleasurable surprise.
which their eloquence creates. Others
are so handsome and prepossesslng that
they win the hearts OF their audience
before they have opened their lips. To
the latter category John Warwick
Daniel undoubtedly belonged.
"Of commanding presence, with hand
some and leonine countenance, courtly
manners, a musical voice and of great
compass and far-reaching quality, a
strong and welI-trained mind, warm
and generous heart. vivid Imagination.
he presented a superb picture to the
eye and appealed with compelling force
to the passions and emotions of all who
The Washington herald., 1911-06-25

heard him. He possessed the advantages
Of high family connections and OF q col
legiate education, to which was added
the glamour of martial fame, achieved in
his early manhood on many a bloody
field.
IAN Englishman dearly loves a lord,
and the average American dearly loves
a soldier, and it cannot be doubted that
Senator Daniels military record aided
him materially in his political battles.
This is attested by the fact that Vir-
ginians fondly called him The Lame
Lion Of Lynchburg-most assuredly a
helpful and fortunate sobriquet. For a
generation he was the idol of his native
State, and 1t was agreed by common con-
sent that he should remain in the Sem
ate so long as he lved-which he did.
His reelection every six years was a
mere formality to comply with the Con-
stitution and the statutes of the land"

WESTERN RAINS
MAY SAVE CROPS
Disastrous DroughtEnds and
Farmers Cheer.

st. Louis. June A.-Heavy rains last
night and to-day broke the long, disas-
trous drought in the Middle West, South
and Southwest. 1t is estimated the pre-
cipitation to-day throughout the Missis-
sippi Valley, the cotton belt, and the
Ohio Valley will go far toward saving
the crops which have survived the hot
wave.
Nearly five inches OF rain fell in seven
hours at Peoria. Ill, to-day. The rainfall
at ST. Louis this afternoon was heavy.
Southwest Missouri, as far as Spring
field, also received heavy showers. At
Tulsa and throughout Northwest Okla
homa a rainfall of one and one-tenth
inches is reported. 1t will enable farm
ers there to raise from a quarter to half
crop Of late corn and other forage
crops.

Another Polk township barn went
up in smoke when the big building
OF Seymour Stull caught fire about
D o'clock a. m. Saturday, and burned
with all is contents. No clue can
be found for the fire.
Mr.. Stull had been out to do the
chores and had come back to break
fast when the smoke was first notic-
ed. The flames soon enveloped the
entire building and destroyed not on
ly it but all its contents. Some
seven tons of hay and all the imple-
ments stored in the place were lost.
The binder and some other machin-
cry were outside. but a number Of
plows. harness etc, were burned.
No stock were lost, however. The
total loss will reach about $2500 it is
thought, and Mr.. Stull had insur-
nee of only 500. He will rebuild
the barn at once. The old building
was 30x56 feet in size.

UARY


David Reynolds was born Septem-
Der the sixth, 1918. in Oneida County
New York. Had he lived until
next September, he would have COM.
pleted his ninty- third year.
When he was twenty years old, he
left his native state, and came to
Indiana. He located on a farm In
Iaporte County. near Kingsbury.
This was in 1888. Here he lived
with his first wife, whose maiden
! name was Elizabeth Pease. Here
also his children were born, two sons
Albert and Henry, and one other
that died infancy. Then that ex-
treme of sadness that comes to many
home came also to him. the loss of
the mother of the little family group
For four years Mr.. Reynolds
made his home in Kankakee, Illinois
In that place, he met and married
Ellen Blakesley. Immediately af-
ter this in the year 1853, he came to
Plymouth, where he has hesided ever
since.
Brother Reynolds has been men,
Der of the Methodist church in this
city since before the present build
ing was erected.
When he came to Plymouth and
built his saw-mill just south of tn
river and east of he Michigan street
bridge there were but three houses
on the south side. All the rest of
that side was then woods, and
cow pasture, and farm land. A
large huckleburry marsh covered
what is now the north end of the
city. The city was then in its in
fancy. The first railroad here, the
Pittsburg and Fort Wayne, was be-
ing built at the time.
He was our city's oldest resident
at the time of his death. His allot-
ted time was nearly century. What
wonders have occurred during this
period. In it we have COTTON al
most all our modern Improvements,
including the railway, telegraph. and
telephone, besides countless other
inventions. We have grown as a
nation from nine millions to one hun
dred millions of people, and as a
state from one hundred thousand to
two and a half millions.
After this long life, it seemed but
natural that he should depart. And
he was ready and willing to go. 1t
seemed that with him this scripture
promise had been abundantly fulfilled
"With long life will satisfy him,
and show him my salvation.
All through his life, except in his
latter years he was a hardworking
man. About thirty years ago. his
eyesight failed and for many years
he has been totally blind. Almost
helpless during the last several
years he has found a good home with
his son, Mr.. Henry Reynolds. At
the last he was sick but day. He
went home, Saturday morning, July
%, 1911.
|. The funeral service was held at the
residence on Alexander street, Mon
day afternoon at two o clock the Rev
+. o. Fraley officiating. His
body was laid to rest in beautiful
Oak Hill cemetary.
