LIVED IN ADAMS Death of Mayor Jones Recalls Life Story His Millions of Wealth Originated in this County,—Some Interesting Facts. The death of Mayor Samuel M. Jones, of Toledo, 0., recalls the fact that a part of his fortune was made in Indiana. He was among the first oil operators to make a rich strike in the Indiana field. ,He came to Geneva, early in the ninety’s as a stockholder and director in the Northern Indiana Oil company. He had an office in Gen va and gave personal attention ■to his interests. While there he attracted much attention, liecause | although known to be wealthy he always attended evrey service in i the M. E. church and never missed ■ the mid week prayer meeting. His I oil interests increased rapidy, and with conisderable saltwater in the wells, it was a serious matter to avoid pumping on Sunday. But Jones was a strict Sabbatharian. For several months the wells were pumped on Sunday and all the profits from the Sunday punipings, amounting to thousands of dollars, was turned into the missionary fund. But on thinking it over, the good man decided that it was wrong to run the wells on Sunday on account of cheating the pumper out of the rest duo him, and the ! privilege of attending religion*| services on Sunday, and, althongn tholes? must have been heavy, the oil Company was never again Operated on Sunday when Samuel ,M. Jones remained a stockholder, ilt was while operating in the In- ‘ (liana oil field that Jones conceive I the idea of the Acme sucker-rod, which made him $1,000,000.

Richmond, Ind., July 22—Almos overwhelmed after the recent exjiosurre, Elwood O. Ellis, former pastqr of the South Eighth street Friends church, now under the I I care of Dr. Cook at Oxford sanita- ... . ‘num. He will be given every cato . and attention and if benefitted by the treatment will probably be rel stored family. If not he will j lie admitted to East Haven and ] placed in a ward for incurables. The concensus of opinion expressed ! seems to be that Ellis will not survive the’treatment at Oxford. The journey to the sanitarium was | made overland in a carriage. Ellis was accompanied by Dr. I. S. Harold, and John H. Jonhson, Samuel Cowgill, his life long friend, was a member of the party. L There was little said during thejjourney, every member of the party, including the afflicted member, seeming to be weighted down by the gravity of the procedure. AS AN OFFICER Attorney DeVoss Served as a Deputy Marshal Yesterday. While attending to legal business at Geneva yesterday afternoon Attorney L. C. DeVoss before coming home was deputized by the city marshal of that place to act for one day as his regular deputy and gave into Attorney DeVoss’ hands the care of a prisoner n timed James Snyder, who had been ar I rested on a charge of public intoxication, was tried, found guilty, and fined one dollar and costs, amount- ! ing in all to eight dollars and j eighty cents. Not being able to pay, the officer at that place was forced to bring him to Decatur, and seeing Mr. Do Voss there he acted on the impulse of the moment, deputized him and forced him to bring the prisoner to Decatur for safe iceepng. DeVoss gave I perfect satisfaction in handling the prisoner, and on arriving here at once escorted his man to the jail where he was turned over to Sheriff Butler. De Voss says that the office of deputy marshal carries with it too many dangers and he at once sent in his resignation to the marshal of Geneva,not oaring to act in that capacity any longer. Notice to Ben Hurs. I will be at home 421 N. Fourth street on the 25th of each month for this term, instead of Winnos Shoe store. Payments can be made at the hall every Friday evening. Mary V.
