A ROUSING CONVENTION.

Continued from First Page.

F. Stacklionse in .nomination for district, lie said Mr. Stackhouse had made one of the best and commissioner from the second most popular trustees Marion tp., had erer had, a fact which cannot be gainsaid by anyone, and that the scripture says that he who has been faithful over a few things shall be made ruler over many. And no better man could be found for this place than Air. Stackhouse. Lee E. Glaxelxook, in prer senting the name of W. H. Hefshman for commissioner from the first district, made a neat little speech. Mr. Hershman is a man of affairs, a good levelheaded business man .and besides being an extensive farmer and stock-grower, is the greatest fancy poultry breeder in Jasper county, his M. B. turkeys and Black Langshan chickens having a national reputation. He will make a gooTI commissioner. The question of instructing delegates to the state convention to vote for the plan of the state convention to name a candidate for United States senator provoked quite a little discussion, and it was finally decided that the convention vote by precincts on the proposition, for or against. After Barkley, Carpenter, Gillam and Hanging Grove had voted unanimously in favor of the plan the objections were: withdrawn and the delegates go instructed “for.”

The coaches which were in the rear of the train alone remained on the track. Following the crash the cars burst into fames. With frenzied desperation the passengers who were not en- - trapped in the <* :s worked to free t'heir cor ] anions from the wreckage. By tie light of the flames men armed with a es nut bars of iron-worked to rc.h. i-s« the victims imprisoned in the ovci:t* pod sleeping coaches. The heavy construction of the sleep- , ers j revcf led the list of fatalities from beirig 4 much huger. Men and women -OE£Xe extricated from the wreck in - time to prevent them being burned tq death only by the,frenzied work of other rrsyengers. ' A~ fast as the injured were* taken out they were lifted to the- side of the track and wrapped in blankets. One man ran all way back to Jackson and told of the Wreck. In a short time the roads leading to the wreck were filled with vehicles bearing rescuing parties. Physicians and nurses were sent to the scene as Boon as a special train was made up.

MARK TWAIN DEAD SINKS INTO SLEEP

End Is Peaceful and Apparently Without Suffering. DEATH OCCURS AT 6:22 O'CLOCK Short Rally Before Angel of Death Called—-Daughter and Husband at .Bedside —Death Being Mourned By Millions. Redding, Conn., April 22. —Samuel L Clemens, “Mark Twain,’’ died at bis home near Redding at 6:22 o’clock last, night. He became unconscious at about 3 o’clock and sank gradually until his death. He did not again recover consciousness. All hope of recovery was abandoned Wednesday, -when it was evident to the physicians attendant upon him that the patient was gradually losing ground. He had been Conscious through all of his illness and had considerable knowledge of his condition and of the fight that was in progress. His spirits kept up to the last, and until he lost consciousness he tried to joke a little with those about him. The physicians scarcely expected that he would live through the night, but early Thursday 'morning he dropped off to sleep. The early morning hours.-ga.yp him the best sleep he had had in some days, and he woke much refreshed, Because of the benefit he had derived from the night’s few hours’ rest hope was revived that after all he might rally sufficiently to prolong his life by a few days at any rate,, even though ultimate recovery seemed impossible. His condition remained improved until early ih the afternoon. Throughout the forenoon he was partially conscious, now and then realizing his surroundings and occasionally speaking a few words to express some wish or to ask a question as to his own condition. He recognized those at his bedside during these periods. Then he again would lapse into unconsciousness. It. was plain that he_again was sinking. The final unconsciousness came very gradually and Ihoso about him thought it might be merely one of tbe periods which he had experienced before in his illness. He did not rally, however. At no time during his last hours did he appear to be Hn great pain and the end came easily and without struggle. With Mr. Clemer.l during the night and day were his daughter, Clara; her husband, Ossip Gabrilowitsch; Albert Bigelow Paine, his secretary, Dr. Robert H. Halsey, and the nurses. Late in the afternoon his personal physician, Dr. Edward Qiiaintard, arrived from New York and joined the group at the bedside, and remained until the angel of death came. Mr. Clemens’ body will be taken to Elmira, N. Y., today. It is there that his wife and his daughtefsm'Biisie and Jean, are buried. The funeral will probably be held on Sunday.

On the next Studebaker Waggon you pass on the road Why aren’t they split and cracked like the ordinary wagon? Because the ordinary wagon hub is made from oak, a wood that splits and cracks very easily, while #^ACON hubs are made from (Sas/crn black birch, a. very springy, tough wood, chemically treated, with great weather resisting qualities. Weitem birch ia used by some manufacturers, but it is even poorer than oak. It ia brash y and will nob stand the strain. Studebaker hubs cost more than any other hub on the market, but they are stronger and wear longer. Another reason why you should buy a Studebaker from C. A. ROBERTS, Wagons, Baggies, Farm Implements.
