DEATH OF MRS. ]. A. JONES.

Mrs Mary Eloise Jones passed away
on tuesday morning, October 90, 1918,
at 1;l5 o'clock at the Wausau hospital
"nere she had been taken for treat
ment- Short services were held at
the family home S13 Second ST., at
nlne o'clock on Thursday morning
Dy Rev. Richard Eyens, after which
the body, accompanied by relatives.
was taken to Rural and placed in the
FAMILY lot beside the husband who
preceded the deceased in death near
ly seven years ago. Mrs. Jones, who
had reached the age of rs years, was
born in Canada and came to the states
when child. She was united in mar
rage with the late julius A. Jones,
September 20, 1868. A son and daugh-
ter survive her. Fay Jones of Aurora,
ILL.,, and Mrs. ElOise Greener of this
city, also three grandsons, two of
whom are serving in the army. Those
from out of town who attended the
funeral were Mrs. Chas. Brown, who is
niece, ]. H. Slightam of Chicago,
and Fay Jones, who arrived in Wau-
sau the morning of his mothers death.
Although Mrs. Jones' death was not
unexpected as she had been sufferer
for many months, yet every heart is
saddened with the thought that she
will be with us no more. Mrs. Jones
had lived in Wausau nearly fifty years
and in that time had been identified
in many reforms and good works
throughout the city. She was an
earnest member of the Methodist
church. She was one of the founders
of the Ladies' Literary club which was
organized in 1877 and was always
active in church and club work until
failing health deere ID it otherwise,
She Was always closely allied w,Ih
the W. L. T. U. and an active member
OF the organization for many years.
She was a woman of rare attainments.
A fine literary mind,a wonderful mem
org, ana a pleasing epressiol of
thought, combined with a sunny ma
ture and a gentle sense of humor
made it not only a joy to be with
her but gave an opportunity to learn
from a mind so richly stored with
good things. One of her many char
acteristics was the interest she evinc-
ed in passing events. Religious activi-
ties, politics, educational work, all
the happenings of today aroused her
interest. She read extensively and on
ly a few days before her death she
expressed a wish to live until the end
of the war. Although living more
than the allotted time, age did not
darken the sunshine of her heart nor
lessen the force of her character.
She loved people, but no more than
they loved her and her friendships
were true and lasting. Throughout
her long illness, she was ever uncom-
planning and always thinking of the
burden of others. Her constant
cheeriness, her brave optimism, and
her earnest faith endured to the end,
and in passing from this life to a more
abundant one she has left memories
that will be fondly cherished.

Very few complaints have been
heard concerning Halloween night.
OF course the children dressed all in
white carried Jack o'lanterns, and
small boys soaped windows, and the
older ones carried off everything loose
found on lawns. 1t is refreshing to
note that the troubles were not so
per cent of last year.

ECHOES FROM PAST

It was on Jan. 2S, 1862, 52 years ago today, that lem Mace defeated Tom King in 45 rounds at Godstone, England. This bout was for the Eng fish championship, then held by Mace. King was feet ? inches in height, and lowered more than four inches above the slender gypsy. Mace weighed only 160 pounds. and King also had big advantage in reach. Moreover, Tom was clever and quick, but not clever enough for the shifty Mace, who outfought him at every move. The giant managed to punish Mace severely, but Jem returned it all with interest, and in the Ard
 round King received a terrible blow

Some housekeepers, or their fam flies and friends, have a strong and decided, dislike of that odor which persists in hanging about a room which has been freshly painted. One housekeeper, who insisted on having her apartment cleaned and painted when she believed it necessary, placed little dishes of cold water around the rooms at frequent intervals. She be- lieved that the water helped absorb the disagreeable odor and free the room from it
