Chicago. Oct. 6.--killing frosts,

Notwithstanding that the frosts

all the corn that was touched, the ac-

peared likely to improve the condition
of the new corn and thus to facilitate
shipment to distributing centcrs. The
fact that some increase of country Of
ferings was reported, gave a further
advantage to the bears, but the en-
largement did not prove sufficient to
render selling at all aggressive. On
tho other hand. rallies lacked power
and failed to last. In numerous cases.

Slackness OF export inquiry left the

ENLISTS IN MARINE CORPS

Mrs +. X. Lam received a letter
from her son Lawrence, OF whom men.
ton was made last week as the first
OF Yerington's boys to enlist under
the Presidents call 10 the nations
loyalty.
Lawrence stated that he had enlist
ed in the United States Marine Corps
had passed his FIST examination
at Reno, and was just about to start
for San Francisco where he would
be examined again, with hardly "a
doubt that he would be accepted, as
the examination disclosed the fact
that he was in 6rst-class physical
condition, with the exception of
slight inclination to hatfootedness.
Lawrence left home last Monday
with the intention of enlisting in the
army, in hopes of finally becoming a
bugler or getting into military band
but after reconsidering the matter he
was impressed with the fact that a

higher class of men enlist in the
marine corps than in either the army
or navy. The term of enlistment in
the branch chosen by him is four
years.
Regarding the band, he said that
Sergeant Jones, of the recruiting ser
vice of the marines, gave him a good
sendoff to the bandmaster at Mare
Island. writing personal letter OF
introduction. After being on duty
for full week he will be allowed leave
of absence each week from Friday
until Sunday. After being mustered
in he will be at the navy yard for three
months for instruction and drill.
Fully realizing that he is taking the
most important step in his life, as well
as knowing that his whole future is
involved, approaching that his success
depends entirely upon himself, his
letter to his mother is but one of the
many characteristics that have en-
deared this young man to his friends.
all of whom feel that he belongs to
them.
To the mother who has watched the
development of his character, who has
emitted her courage to her son
belongs the proud distinction OF be-
ing the first in Yerington to respond
to the President call to make every
sacrifice for humanity's sake, and
stand by the flag Should the remote
possibility occur, and his second ex-
animation result differently from the
first. both mother and son have done
their duty, and honor is theirs.

tend the life OF pioneer. More ac-
tive than most men of his age. he
spent his declining years in the light
er tasks of the farm where he re-
sided. For a number of weeks he
vas confined to his bed with chronic
lilment which resulted in his death.
| He was laid to rest in Mountain
View Cemetery, beside his children
attended by large family OF sor-
rowing relatives, and many friends

Upon his tired breast was placed the
lag he loved and for which he cheer
fully gave three of the best years OF
his life, and his bier was lowered into
the grave midst many flowers placed
by loving hands.
"When his sword
Has won the battle for the free,
Deaths voice sounds like proph-
cts word;
And in its hollow tones are heard,
The thangs of millions yet to be"

OVERFLOW THRONGS AT
 REVIVAL SERVICES
First Christian Church Not Large : Enough to Accommodate All Who
 Go Out to Hear Dr. Jordan.

The first of series of revival ser vices were held yesterday at the First Christian churchs, with services in the forenoon and in the evening, and in each instance it was impossible for the building to care for all the many persons who came to participate in the exercises.
 Prof. Cyrus Herself Hohgatt of Chicago, the revival singer, sang two solos, which were excellently renl- cred and which were greatly enjoyed. Prof. Hohgatt was given most cordial welcome by the congregation of the church, as we'll as by those present who are not members, and it is con- fidently expected his work here will result in great good.
 Rev. A. Homer Jordan, the pastor of the church, who will do the preach ing during the revival period, de- livered two very strcng and effec- tive sermons yesterday, his subject in the forenoon being 'The First Call" and the topic in the evening being "The Blight of Life."
