(By A. C. Howlett.)
Tbe entire community wits shucked
last Saturday on account of the sud
den death of one of the proiniuent
citizens, James A. Jonas, Saturday
morning he got up as usual and
asked bis wife how she felt, she
having had her hip broken some
time ago, and she replied and asked
him to make a fire In the cook stove,
and as he started to go he found
that he could not move one of his
legs, telling bis wife so, be remarked
that tbe feeling was going all over
him when he fell over. Mrs. Jonas
ran to the door and called a neigh
bor. Tbey managed to get him onto
the bed and he never regained con
sciousness again, being completely
paralysed. He died on Saturday
about 4 o'clock p. m.
James A. Jonas was born June 22,
1851, in Fayette county, Indiana,
married to Kebekah H. Lazenby, Au
gust 29, 1877, and died October 3.
1908, aged 67 'years, 3 months and
1 1 days. He leaves a wife, two sons,
two sisters and one brother In Indi
ana, be being tbe youngest of the
family.
Mr. and Mrs. Jonas moved to aJck
son county, Oregon, In 1877, and
bought land that Is now situated In
the town of Ragle Point, where they
have resided ever since up to tbe
time of his death.
In 1892 they both united with the
Methodist Episcopal 'church and since
that time Mr. Jonas had devoted bis
talent toward assisting the young.
He had been the superintendent of
the Sunday school for a large part of
the time since he joined the church,
and was highly esteemed by all and
beloved by almost the entire com
munity. He has been elected and re
elected school clerk for quite a num
ber of years. He was a man who
will be greatly missed.
The funeral services were conduct'
ed by Rev. McKee in the Eagle Point
church, and the remains were In'
terred In the Central Point cemetery
on Monday afternoon. Almost every
person In our community respected
him by attending the funeral.
Mr. Jonas has been engaged In
teaching school a large part of the
time, and up till the time of his
death was engaged teaching In the
school district near the moutb of Lit
tle Butte, known here as the Olvens
district. There were quite a num
ber of children from the schools
where be had taught who attended
the funeral services last Monday. The
following resolutions were adopted
by the Eagle Point Sunday school:
"Whereas, It has pleased our
heavenly father to call to bis reward
and rest, Mr. J. A. Jonas, superin
tendent of the Eagle Point Sunday
school; and,
"Whereas, We, the members of the
Sunday school, wish to show our es
teem and appreciation of his faith
ful service while among us. .
"Resolved, That we hereby pub
licly express our sense of loss In his
death and extend to bis bereaved
family onr sincere sympathy In their
time of trial.
"His life was quiet, but sincere
and earnest, bis death was but the
passing Into everlasting peace and
Joy, and his memory will ever be a
lesson in the value of honest, Chris
tian service."

CHAMPAIGN. III., Oct. 3. -Wild
wltb rage. Mayor Blaine of Cham
paign, early yesterday pulled his re
volver and fired at a university of
Illinois student with whom the mayor
bad been having a band-to-band
combat. Tbe executive's aim was
poor and the student, one of a large
party engaged In hazing freshmen,
escaped unscathed.
I will shoot to kill the next
time," said Mr. Blaine. "The militia
ought to be called out."
The run play was one of the fea
tures cf a melee between the sopho
more band and the local police, re
sulting in the arrest of five students,
L. B. Smith, E. M. Benton, E. A.
Stroud, H. A. Tupper and O. Wilcox
who were fined In the Champaign
police court by Magistrate Rogerson,
after they had entered pleaa of guilty
to disorderly conduct and resisting
officers. Tbe mayor, censured by
some, saya that President James
asked tbe authorities to arrest all
students misconducting themselves
at all.
Wednesday, Congressman Nick
Longworth, addressing the students,
put himself on record as approving
mild forms of hazing, and relating
Incidents In his college days at Har
vard before the admiring atudents.
University authorities are inclined to
regret that the president's son-in-law
so expressed himself, in view of the
melee. It la hinted that Mr. Long'
worth s words might have been a
spur.
Many first-year men were ducked
In tbe boneyard stream, a custom al
ways rigorously and sternly banned
by tbe faculty. Masked, the sophs
pursued their occupation until the
mayor and police descended on them.
An insulting proclamation posted
by tbe freshmen Is declared to have
caused the outbreak. The "proc."
read:
'Yield, 1911. Bebeaded, babbl
ing, boozy, bow-legged, beany bums,
beaten by the brainy, bountiful class
of 1913. 8tupid, silly sophs, sneak
before the anappy, stylish, strong,
staunch and up-to-date class of
1912."
Sophomores resented the Imputa
tion and the riot began and contin
ued all night.

RENO, Nev., Oct. 3. William
Rockefeller, accompanied by William
O. and Percy, hla two sons, crossed
Nevada today with officials of the
Chicago, Milwaukee ft St. Paul rail
road, and, while viewing the sights
at Carlin, quenched their thirst at
the Gem saloon.
This Incident alone was not re
garded with much Interest by the few
Inhabitants of the little desert town,
because they did not know who the
distinguished visitors were, but rail
road men eagerly reported the story
to associates In Sparks today. The
Gem Is regarded as one of the tough
est resorts In tbe state.

CEDAR RAPIDS, la., Oct. 6. "I
present myself as an example of one
who has outlived the venomous at
tacks of his opponents. You heard
me called demagogue 12 years ago.
You saw them bury me and you
beard them chant their aongs over
my grave and now tbey have to ex
plain why It happens I am not dead."
With all the fervor he could mus
ter, Bryan, facing an assemblage In
the Chautauqua auditorium at Te
mama and Toledo today delivered
himself of this utterance. His re
mark followed a bitter denunciation
of Judge Tatt for refusing to agree
to the publication of campaign con
tributions before the elections.
Drawing large crowds all day In
tbe course of his travels through the
state, tbe Democratic candidate never
was In better form and hurled defi
ance at bis opponents and challenged
them to meet his arguments.
Fifteen speeches and hand-shaking
wltb thousands constituted his day's
work. Tbe keynote of his speech In
Cedar Rapids tonight was that the
Republican policies meant disaster !
and the Democratic policies meant
all kinds of prosperity and money galore.

CHICA0O, Oct. 3. Passengers on
the Lake Shore Twentieth Century
Limited thought they were taking
breakfast In a wreck as the tender
trucks of the giant locomotive haul
ing the fast train left the tracks a
half-mile west of Gary at 8 A. M.
today. For a mile the wheels of the
tender bumped over the ties, while
the engineer sought to halt the flyer,
speeding to Chicago at the rate of 60
miles an hour. The dining-car and
the smoker also left the rails.
For what seemed to the passengers
three or four minutes the train dash
ed ahead, but with slackening speed.
After about a mile It was brought to
a stop and It waa found that no one
had been Injured. At the point
where the accident occurred the
tracks of the Lake Shore are elev
ated so that an enhankment of eight
or ten feet descending on either side
: promised a dangerous plunge If tbe
Mrs. A. L. Oall returned borne I bouncing cars left the rails.

FORGERY ItY WHOLESALE.
LOS ANOKLES. Oct. 3. An al
leged attempt to perpetrate a fraud
on the city cuoncll by means of
wholesale rorgery of the names of
prominent men of Lob Angeles was
discovered today by di-putles of
Harry J. Inland, city clerk, while en
gaged In comparing with the great
register the names contained in the j
referendum petition demanding that I
the city council submit the dancehall
ordinance to the people. I
The evidence was laid before the
city clerk today, after a careful ex
amination had established the fart I
that names had been clumsily forged. !
Whole pages had been obviously cop
ied direct from the city directory
without any attempt to verify the
names.
"The petition fairly teems with
forgeries," Mr. Leland said. "My
deputies tell me that of the 7000
names submitted, it does not seem
now likely that enough genuine sig
natures will be found to make the
petition effective. About 1000 names
are needed."
