Revival Meetings.

The revival meetings in the tent at

Central and 119th street are very

sucessful. The attendance last night was much greater than Sunday night,

a fact which is very encouraging to Iiev. Sharp in his good work. The

sermon this evening, Is there a

Hell?" is one that is well worth

hearing and it is safe to say no one

will go home feeling the subject was not well discussed. The music is alHo well worth hearing, as it is

something extraordinarily fine. t

Lowell, Ind., August 7. Jacob

Xlchols, after an extreme illness of

more than tour montns, uieu at m home of his son-in-law, Jas .Palmer,

Monday, August jG. In the departure of Mr. Nichols from this earth, Lowell and the entire south end of Lake county will lose a familiar charac

ter that has been among us for over half a century. Mr. Nichols passed through Lake county on his way to Iowa from Wylander County, Ohio, in the year 1S54. He remained in

Iowa but a short time, returning to near Lowell in 185.', living for about

one year on wnat is now tne reter

Frederick farm, when he purchased

the now Cyrus Hayder Jr., farm

near Creston, where he resided until

about ten years ago when ne came

to Lowell, making his home alter

nately at the home of his son, Marshal Nichols and daughter, Mrs

James Palmer. There was but little settlement in this county at the time

Mr. Nichols came to it, and being a

very Industrious man, he of course

shared the hardships of toil and la

bor of those times, mere were no

railroads here at that time and all

the freighting had to be done by

horses from Lake Station in the north end of the county and from Chicago.

He marketed all his grain and produce to these places, and when building his first barn the lumber and material was hauled from Chicago, a distance of 45 miles. Mr. Nichols has always been a very active, industrious man and toiled to almost the last, when health forbid him to. He was twice married, both wives having passed to the Great Beyond several years ago. Four

children, Herschel of Wheatland, 111.;

Marshal and Mrs. James Palmer of Lowell and Eaf6n of. Hebron, Ind., survive by the first marriage and two Mrs. Elizabeth Seymour and Mrs. Celina Stinson of Lowell, survive by the second marriage. Mr. Nichols was born In Lancaster, O., in 1824. and at death was S2 years, 5 months and twenty days of age. Conducted by the Rev. Dunning Idle, funeral services were held at the M. E. church, this city, Tuesday, August 7, 1906, burial in the Lowell cemetery. And thus the ranks of our pioneer settlers are fast diminishing! Peace be to him.

The Serrest Test.

The severest test of manhood is never found in good times, but only in hard times. It is not the man who has success when others are doing well, but It is the man who keeps up his courage and struggles ou when everybody else

Is wavering or going down who is the

hero In the sisrht of God and men. It Is

an easy matter to make good time when both wind and tide are in one's favor or when one is moving with the current, but it requires character and tddll and daring to make head in spite of opposing forces or to work successfully against the current. Exchange.

The Ashen of the Dead. Janies Russell Lowell was a great favorite in the literary circles of Lon

don. Oa one occasion at a large ban

quet the peculiarities of American speech were discussed with . English bluntness. Lord S. called to Mr. Lowell loudlv, so as to silence all other speakers: "There is one new expression invented by your countrymen so foolish and vulgar as to be unpardonable. They talk of the 'ashes of the dead.' We don't burn carpses. No . Englishman would use a phrase so absurd." "And yet, said Mr. Lowell gently, "your-poet Gray says, speaking of the dead: - "E'er in our ashes live their wonted fires. "And in the burial services of the church of England it is said, 'Dust to

dust and ashes to ashes. We sin ir, good company." A cordial burst of ap- ! jdause creeted this" aQrut -do5iJr. I

After a lengthy discussion and nothing having been agreed upon definitely, it was agreed

that an open meeting be held next

Monday evening at Tod opera house when Mr. Metcalf and Oakley, representing the bondholders would ap

pear before the proper committee of the city council when Mr. Metcalf

has agreed to give his ultimatum as to what the bond holders would do

relative to the purchase of the plant

The meeting was a harmonious one, and at this time it looks as if the city of East Chicago and the bond

holders would adjudicate their dif

ferences over a case that has been pending for three years in the United
