REV. J. {. DYER.
Seized With Appsplexy His
Death Comes as a Shock
to Many Friends.

The death summons came sud-
denly to the Rev. J. E. Dyer,
the we'll known local preacher,
who passed into the Great Silence
at II o'clock in the quiet of Sab
bath morning last. The tidings
Of his unexpected death came as
a distinct shock to his many
friends throughout this neigh
hood. The fact that the dead
minister had been enjoying his
usual good health up until the
instant he was seized with this
his fatal illness, made his taking
off almost unbelievable. He
was stricken with appoplexy at
g o'clock Sunday morning and
fingered until II o'clock, when
death came, and his soul pass d
out quietly, there being no pain
or suffering.
The Rev. Dyer was a goodly
man and he enters the Presence
full in the knowledge of a duty
well done; he fought a good
fight and the victory's sure. He
was a devout and consistent fol-
lower of the lowly Nazarine,
judging all men justly; recogniz-
ing only the good that was in
others, being charitably blind to
the faults of his fello wman; full
of the grace of forgiveness;
charitable disposed. He was a
goodly man according to his
lights, a meek and lowly chris
tan and his presence will be
missed from among us. He has
joined the silent majority on tn G
other shore. 1t is Gods will and
Gods will be done.
Rev. Dyer was aged 40 years.
and is survived by his wife and
one son.
The funeral occurred Tuesday,
the interment being made in
Brookside cemetery.NN e W s

TRAINED TURTLES.
Tricks These Clumsy Creatures MAJ

OF all living creatures. says writer
in the Strand Magazine. the turtle is
undoubtedly the slowest in its move
ment and probably possesses the least
brain. Yet a well known American
naturalist has succeeded in training
three of these creatures TO do n mum

TO watch the slow. deliberate manner
in which this Is done. The turtles
have always lived in their owners
house. spending their time in the kitch-
en- hunting down the vermin.
One Of the turtles draws a little cart
about the garden. a task which he ap-
parently does not resent in the least.
OF course he is never kept harnessed
for any length of time. He is quite

very materially damage Judge DUNES
chances election day. or it is feared
il will
1t is thought likely that when Judge
Dunno and the others talk it over they
will be able to reach an agreement.
Judge Dunno was supported in Chicago
primary day by the Sullivan wing OF
the party. and therefore it should be
an easy matter for Sullivan and Dunno
to get together.
The difficulty is that Judge Dunno
wants two OF three Harrison men on
the executive committee; and Harn-
son and Sullivan do their best to be
deadly enemies of each other. If Dunno
can induce them TO go through the
motions Of working together for the
success OF the ticket he will have &C
complished more than any other one
has found possible up 10 this time. or
course, Judge Dunno feels that If he
is 10 be elected it will be necessary
TO get the two Chicago big factions
to Work together.
When the committee meets again it
may be in shape to 60 ahead and COM
plete organization. II it isn't ready it
will go ahead and do something. There
was a story that Isaac B. Craig of
NATION was slated as the coming Sec
rotary of the committee, and that
story was correct However. this fea-
ture was not put over at last weeks
meeting. Mr.. Craig may be elected at
1.-THE next meeting, for his number still
remains on the program.
! If Judge Dunno succeeds in inducing
/ the Sullivan and Harrison members of
| the committee to get together in the
naming Of an executive committee ii
may be that the lineup will leave Mr..
Craig out of the running for secretary
that is another may be agreed on for
that position. If there is no align
ment of Sullivan and Harrison men, OF
course, the Sullivan people will &C
ahead and complete the organization
of the committee, for they have more
than enough votes to do II. In this
event Mr. Craig doubtless will be chos
en- as secretary. And it is possible
he will be secretary even If a working
agreement is reached with the Harri
son people.

The New Organization of the Democratic
State Central Committee

Governor Deneen; and he was told that
if he would do this he could have the
unanimous vote Of the committee for
chairman.
Mr.. Charles is reported as replying
that he could not afford to give up
his place on the commission. He is
newspaper man from Carmi and the
salary that goes with a place on the
commission is a matter Of conse-
quence. At any rate he would not
throw UP the governors appointment,
and so he did not get the united vote
Of the committee.
T. ]. Brennan Of Chicago, the out
and out Dunno member of the COM
mittee. must have considered the place
on the lakes and harbor commission
as an important item. He was very
anxious TO have Mr.. Charles resign
When the roll was called. after
Charles refusal to resign from the
commission, Brennan voted for Gray
for chairman.
Democrats did not complete their or
ganiZation at Thursdays meeting:
they will come together again within
fortnight 10 do 80. An executive
, to manage the real inside work Of
the campaign. There was resolution
| that this executive committee be made
up and be recommended TO the entire
committee after consultation with
Judge Dunno, the party's candidate
/ for governor"
The understanding at this time is
that Judge Dunno is anxious TO get
some Harrison members on that ex-
ecutive committee along with Sullivan
members. OF course, Mr.. Dunno ex'
poets TO have Mr.. Brennan on the com.
mittee.
Between now and the next meeting
Of the committee an effort will be
made TO reach a satisfactory under
standing with Judge Dunno as to the
men who are 10 have active manage
ment of the campaign. 1t is import
ant to the democrats that this under
standing be reached.
There are whispers there may BIZ
two committees on the democratic side
in the coming campaign. The stor!
is that If Judge Dunno can't get OF
the executive committee Of the stat,
committee two or three men who are
not in the Sullivan camp, he will have
campaign committee of his own
, and Of course, this will be made VI
in part outside the state committee.

it will not be a good thing for tn
party in this state TO have two con
mittees in charge of the campaign.

Decatur Review

decatur Review
In the opinion Of some who try to
look ahead, the organization of the
state central committees at Spring
field last Thursday may have a decid-
ed bearing on election results in ILL
nois this year First, as 10 the organ
ization of the democrats.
II should be stated al the start
that J. NJ. Gray of Decatur was not
a candidate for chairman Of the state
committee. On Friday several Of his
acquaintance called him uD and re-
marked they were surprised that he
should have allowed himself TO be en-
tered ia a contest that was loaded
three TO one against him.
And Mr. Gray had to explain to
each Of them that he was not a candi-
date The vote he got was entirely
complimentary and also was without
presentation Of his name as a candi-
date He did not vote al all The five
who voted for him did so because
they would not vote with the other
side, and Of course, Gray did not ask
any OF them for votes They voted for
him just TO I'LL in something after
their names on roll call. There was
no thought Of a contest in the mind
Of anybody There was only one can
didate really before the gathering.
To get an understanding Of the sit
uation, It is well 10 know what the
state committee is. II is composed Of
% men. one from each congressional
district in the state.
Concerning preferences Of members
Of the committee. it is by some well
advised ones divided in this fashion
Fifteen out and out Roger Sullivan
members.
Eight who are openly HearstHarri.
son men.
one out and out Dunno man, Mr.
Brennan, from Chicago.
One man on the fence, W. S. Can.
trell. of Cairo.
Two Rehabilitation members were
not present al the meeting that organ
lied Gray did not vote on chairman
so that left only five votes recorded
against the Sullivan slate.
Arthur w Charles Of Carmi was
elected chairman. A proposition was
made by which he could have secured
The votes of all members of the com
mittee. He has been appointed BY
Governor Deneen a member Of the
lakes and harbor commission. and 1t Il
said this position pays $500 a yea
and necessary travelling expenses.
II was proposed TO Mr.. Charles tina
he resign as a member Of that com
mission, thus breaking away entirel!

This because the Maxwell "Mascotte" is
the first real high-grade family touring
offered the public for less than $1,000.
That it fits the niche knew waiting for it,
has been amply proven by the manner in which it
received by the public at the shows.
At all the shows the Maxwell "Mascotte drew
enthusiastic approval. 1t conceded wonderful
value. Such judgment by the motoring public
demands your consideration in your search for The

high-class style that you can be proud of.
Maxwell reliability, too, is part of this car. No
other has back of it such a record. Maxwell
holds the highest team in the last two Gdden
