He suffered a fractured skull when the machine turned over and never regained consciousness. He had been editor of the Paris Beacon for nearly thirty years.
The other members of the party in the automobile when it upeet were John D. Shoop, superintendent of the Chicago public schools and his son, Arnold, Dr. E. E. Jones, a Paris dentist, and Frank H. Hager, cashier of the Edgar county bank. Mr. Shoop left the hospital in Danville, 111., a few days ago and returned home. *The others were only slightly injured.

Later he taught a rural school in Edgar county and studied law underv Attorney J. E. Dyas of this city. He gave up the study of law to take up newspaper work on the Beacon. He was 47 years of age. During the Chicago strike he was captain of Company H, Illinois national guard, of this city, and served for several months in Chicago.
He was a son of Henry W. Davis, who was lieutenant colonel of the medical corps, Grant's division, in the civil war.
McFarren Davis is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Jennie Woodyard, and one daughter, Miss Julia Martha. His aged mother, Mrs. Okalla Davis, and two brothers, Harry Davis, of Vicksburg, Ind., and Dr. Floyd Davis, of Paris, also survive.
Mr. Davis was identified with the Elks lodge, of which he was exalted ruler at the time of his death, the Masonic lodge and the Anpient Order of the United Workmen.
Funeral services were to be at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon at the residence Rev. Ira W. Allen of the Presbyterian church Officiating, with burial in Edgar cemetery.

Question of American Withdrawal of Troops Again to Fore—Hear Reports on Villa's Acts.
NEW LONDON, Sept. 25.—The members of the Mexican-American joint commission today began the fourth week of their investigation of border conditions in an effort to bring about an adjustment of international conditions.
The Mexican representatives are still Insistent that their army is capable of maintaining peace in northern Mexico and that relations between the two countries would be greatly improved by the withdrawal of the American forces. The Americans insisted on further study of Mexican internal affairs, adhering to their position that any agreement entered into must be so broad as to make reasonably certain the safety of American life and property throughout Mexico.
More reports from the war department supporting the charges that outlawry in the state of Chihuahua is showing signs of increase were in the hands of the Americans, but the Mexicans were prepared to submit counter reports indicating the insignificance of Villa's reappearance.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—MajorGeneral Funston advised the war department today that he had ordered an expression of regret to the Mexican authorities for the action of Corporal Rogers, Troop B, Texas cavalry, in crossing into Mexico with a patrol of seven men, September 21, and had directed Col. Gaston, commanding in the1 Big Bend district, to try the corporal for disobeying orders. The patrol was fired on by Mexican soldiers and returned to the American side with a loss of one horse. No reason for the crossing has been given.
BOY SCOUTS ENJOY OUTING.
Troop 9 of Montrose Puts in Two Busy Days.. Boy Scouts of Troop 9 of Montrose M. E. church returned home Sunday evening after a two days' camping trip to Forest park, which the boys say wal the best yet taken by the troop. The boys left Seventeenth and College at 5 o'clock Friday evening in Mr. Unger's large touring ^ar and arrived at the park in time to prepare the evening meal and get the tents up before dark. The scouts were placed on sentry duty in watches of one hour and a half and patroled the camp each night of their stay.
A long hike was taken Saturday morning in which the boys had a chance to test their hill climbing skill, as the whole woods to the east of the camp was explored and a picture was taken at the "Bear's Den." The rest of the time was spent in boxing, boating and scout games and in taking ^£he second class tests, including signalling, first aid, bandaging, tracking, fire building and cooking. Five scouts from Troop 6 visited the camp Sunday afternoon, and this camp site will be used by all the scouts of the city in the future. Mr. Roberts, who was a union veteran of the -civil war, visited the boys Sunday and likened the camp site to the famous "Buzzard's Roost" on Lookout mountain in Tennessee, so the camp has been officially named "Buzzard's Roost." Ten boys and the scout master made the trip.
STOCKS STILL SOARING.
New High Records Made on Resump tlon of Trading. NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Further substantial advances to new high records were made on the resumption of trading in stocks todt^y. United States steel opened -with a single offering of 25,000 shares at 118 to 119, the max imum figure exceeding its previous record by 1% points. Copper made even greater advances, the range in that group extending from 1 to points. Various other Industrials and specialties, including Maxwell Motors, sold at highest prices.
There was again an undertone of irregularity, rails and certain other Investment Issues sharing only indifferently in the rise.
REP0BTS POCKET PICKED.
Victim Tells Police He Was Robbed of $20. George Huley, 1519 South Seventeenth street, reported to 'the police Sunday morning that his pocket had been picked Saturday night as he attempted to board a street car at Ninth street and Wabash avenue. A pocketbook containing $20 was taken from his pocket, Huley reported.
Huley was the third victim of a gang of expert pick-pockets who worked in the city Saturday night, the police believe. Willis Bunch, of North Fourteenth street, and William Sanderson, Seelyville, were victims. Their pockets were picked of $45 and $14 respectively in thesaxne manner.

descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one 3on-Opto tablet in a fourth of a glass of water and allow to dissolve. With this liquid bathe the eyes two to four times dally. You should notice your oyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflammation will quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering you, even a little, lake steps .to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time.
Note: Another prominent physician, to whom the above article was submitted, said: "Bon-Opto is a very remarkable remedy. Its constituent ingredients are wcll-kr.own to eminent I eye specialists and widely prescribed I by them. The manufacturers guarani tee it to strengthen eyeRight 50 per cent ir one week's time irr many ins a n e s o e u n e o n e y I a n be obtained from any good druggist and is one of the very few nreparaI tions I feel should be kept on hand for regular use in almost every family."

If you have catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises caused by catarrh, or if phlegm drops in your throat and has caused catarrh of the stomach or bowels, you will be glad to know that these distressing symptoms can be entirely overcome in many instances by the following treatment which you can easily prepare in your own home at little cost.
