SERVICES OVER THE

The little Catholic church was
packed Tuesday morning by the
friends of the late C. o. Jones, who
were anxious to pay their last re-

laccio was very sincere in his ex-
pressions of love and affection over
the departure of this dear loved one
of his little flock, and the tone OF his
voice and his tear-dimmed eyes gave
expression to the sorrow that he felt.
The funeral arrangements were con-
Quoted by Mr.. E. c. Smith and Mr..

services was beautifully carried out.
There were many floral offerings, and

chaeI, Mr.. r. r. Carroll, Mr.. Nicholas
Heintz and Mr.. Edwards. Mr.. Jones
is over, and he leaves as
a legacy to those who are to follow
after him the performance of many
good deeds. He was Grandpa jones'
to all the little children of the neigh
borhood, and they feel their loss very
keenly. Truly good man has gone
from amongst us.

The club reformers recommend as
a means to that end that every girl
make her own clothes, so as to be-
come self-reliant and independent.
But, as the New York World remarks,
suppose that were so, what would be-
come of the women who are COMPEL
ed to sew for a living? The more the
more fortunate rich spend in all de-
partments of dress and household
equipments the better it is for the
less fortunate poor. AS much as is
said about the automobile, luxurious
living, expensive burials, and things
without end, the better it is for the
world. If the rich boarded their mon
ey instead of spending it, the more
severely would the crown of thorns
press down on the brow of labor"

The Catholic clergy is opposed to
eugenics. In a recent address at Ann
Arbor Bishop Kelly said: 1.-THE relig-
ion that holds God sauthor of the
human soul must ever carry on war
fare against a so-called science whose
code of ethics in place of giving a
square deal to the unborn child per-
mits the strangling of it 1t must car
ry on warfare against the science
whose illegitimacy is acknowledged
by the state 1t must carry on war
fare against the science of unbelief
which sweeps civilization back into
the maelstrom of barbarism. There
is likely to be warfare against so
called science which, under the terms
of sterilization and sex hygience,
interferes with mans natural pow
ers. contravenes his God-given free
will in the one case and robs children
of purity and innocence in the other.
New and untried theories are n.y.
blown into every nook and corner of
public institutions. with the hope that
the larvae will generate and exploit
a species whose Internal buzzing may
be interpreted as the academic
voice."

FIRST VIOLATION OF THE GAME
LAW or THE SEASON

The first violation of the game law
of the season was tried before Judge
w. E. Smith Monday afternoon. Mr..
Murray Thomas and Hill Thomas OF
Lake county were charged with vio-
lating the statutes in such cases
made and provided. The warrant was
sworn out by the game warden
through Mr.. Albert Fort, one of his
deputies. Mr.. Edwin Spencer, Jr.,
prosecuted for the county and state,
and Messrs. Bullock and Mershon
were the defendants attorneys. After
the evidence was submitted and the
attorneys were heard, the jury acquit-
ted Mr.. Murray Thomas, the father,
and convicted Mr.. Hill Thomas, the
son. 1t is believed that this conv1c-
ton this early in the season will be
a warning to others, and will have a
most salutary effect.

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY AT
LEESBuRG

A serious shooting ARRAY occurred
at Leeesburg Saturday night. 1t
seems that a fight or disturbance of
some sort was reported to the mar
shall, Mr.. Torian, and he went imme-
diately to quell it, and in doing so
was compelled to use force on one OF
the participants. He soon. however,
succeeded in restoring quiet and pro-
ceeded to his home and retired. AT
late hour during the night he was
aroused by one of the negroes, and
was told that the disturbance had
broken out afresh and that one or
two men had been seriously hurt and
that others were liable to be. In has,
tening to the place Mr.. Torian be-
came suspicious and halted. AS soon
as he did so his informer vanished,
and Mr. Torian was soon shot from
ambush. Several of the negroes have
been apprehended, but it is not be
lieved that the one who did the
shooting has yet been caught. Mr.,
Torian was shot through the left
lung, and while his wound is serious
it is not believed to be fatal. Mr.. To-
rian was at one time on the police
force in this city.

suLzER's ATTORNEYS ARE STILL
FIGHTING FOR THEIR CLIENT
(By Associated Press.)

Albany, N Y, Sept. 23.--Sulzer's
attorneys brought forward today the
last of their legal ammunition in a f.
nal effort to prevent the story OF the
alleged misuse of campaign funds
from being told from the witness
stand. A motion was presented to
strike out three of the impeachment
articles. These three deal with the
alleged misstatements regarding the
funds, the alleged misuse in Wall
street speculations, etc.
The lawyers for the defense argued
that these offenses were not impeach-
able, as it is alleged that they were
committed before Sulzer took the Of
fee.
The prosecution answered that the
acts of the candidate in the campaign
were almost inseparable from those
in office.
The courts decision, however, will
clear the deck for the actual begin
ming of the trial.
Suffers counsel announced at the
outset of today's session of the i'm
parchment court that the governor
would cease henceforth to exercise
the functions of chief executive until
the termination of the trial.
