Romantic Story of the Life of J. Wess Moore

Milton, Sept. 4. Many years ago a young man by the name of "Joe" 'Moore, now known as J. Wess Moore, was reared at Dublin, this county. He was a nephew of the late Mrs. Aaron "White of Milton, and mingled with the I young people here. When the Civil ! war broke out Joe Moore donned the iblue and went to do valiant service .amid shot and shell in defense of his Miintrv'a fine" TJa waa ananil n ro.

turn to his home, but later on went to California, where he took up a mining claim. He married and settled down to a happy life with the noble woman who afterwards proved herself worthy of her wifely vows of faithfulness to him, until death should them part. They were living happily and quietly in Trinity county- California when business called Mr. Moore from home for a time. When he returned1 he found that evil-minded men had come Into the vicinity and "jumped" his claim. He sought to get peaceable return of his property, but the men were unwilling to give it up. He next resorted to law. but again he was treated with Injustice and it was of no avail. At last human nature could bear no more and he sought to take the law in his own hands and drive the intruders off. It was at this time that the bitterness of death entered his soul, for in self-defense he shot and killed one of the men. He was brought to trial and again the law proved itself unjust and he was given a lifelong prison sentence. From his happy home, his loving wife and his quiet citizenship and his pleasant Grand Army associations he was led away to San Quentin and placed in the state penitentiary, where he became dead to the world and his Indiana relatives and friends until brought to their knowledge in a peculiar manner. . Beginning of Inspiration. A few years ago the correspondent from Milton, then the local correspondent of the Dally Sun-Telegram, published at Richmond by B. F. Wissler, among other locals, sent in a notice of a little girls' club that had been organised at Milton. The little girls at first met to play and have a nice time when but of school on Saturday. But this seemed trivial to them and after organising into a club with Miss Ruby Kellam of Milton as one of the leading officers, they formed into a religious society and for the benefit of people who were needy and in distress. They each gave a small1 offering at each meeting and opened their meetings with scripture reading, singing and prayer. At length they noticed some little children were coming to school without warm clothing and barefooted even when it was too cold for such exposure. They talked the matter over and concluded to help

these little children. But their offerings were small and they did not have

readily done and soon they had a neat little sum which was advantageously spent Convict Sends Letter. The notice of this little club and its noble work, as published in the Richmond paper, was read in the far-away gloomy prison of San Quentin, in California, by "Joe", Moore. And through the efforts of a lady whose life was given to good works in the prison cells and whose home was at San Francisco, Mr. Moore wrote B. F. Wissler of the Sun-Telegram, at Richmond, subscribing for the weekly paper for one year. He also enclosed some literature of his own writing and a letter, all of which was to be sent by Mr. Wissler to Miss Ruby Kellam of Milton, who appeared prominently in the little girls" club. This letter told how he admired the object of the club and that he would in the future send them a few dollars to help on their good work. Among the literature was a little pamphlet containing a poem, which he. as J. Wess Moore, had written, describing his prison life, and the beloved and frail little wife who had come to San Quentin to live that she might be near him and visit Mm in prison, and thus comfort him by the love of a devoted and faithful wife. The poem went on to tell how sickness had laid its hand upon that wife, how she had died and left him alone to bear his burden of Injustice. The promised money was looked for in vain, and it was learned that the prison authorities took care of his pension money and refused to let him have it. A letter was addressed to the lady, who wrote in his behalf from San Francisco. No reply ever came from her, and as it was about the time of the earthquake there, those interested here thought she might have perished at that time. Brother Makes Inquiry. The story of the letter and subscription for the Richmond paper came to the knowledge of his brother, Albert, residing at Greenfield, and inquiry was made of the local correspondent here, who related all that was known here. This led to friends at Dublin taking an active interest in the matter. A paper was put Into circulation asking the governor of California to pardon J. Wess Moore. He. was finally released on parole and went out to establish a mission home and follow the teachings of the little girls' club at Milton, as a letter afterwards attested. A recent letter from Oakland, Cal., In a Cincinnati paper tells. how Mr. Moore went to Oakland, CaL, where he organized what he named a "Society for the Friendless" and devoted his energies -to the assistance of exconvicts and friendless men like himself. At last a lady, Mrs. M. V. Newman. : a ' prominent prison worker of that city, offered to help him. Her offer was accepted gladly. Others were enlisted until the "society" was i firmly established. But the success that J. Wess Moore was meeting caused mtt In tii mimt:

his work, or go back to prison. J. Wess Moore accepted the latter, saying his work was established, and in competent hands. But as J. Wess Moore had shown that tender sympathy for his fellow sufferer advocated by the lowly Man of Galilee, so was he rewarded. , He had looked above to One who had said. "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" and noble men were raised up for his defense. Attorneys offered him their services without money and without price. Friends came from every quarter. The pressure brought to bear was so forcible that the prison director was obliged to yield and J. Wess Moore, the paroled convict of San Quentin, went forth a free man to carry on his good work he had begun. "Then shall the King say unto them. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto Me." E. N.

Chairman of Hamilton Club Seeks Entertainment for The Executive. OTHER PLANS PROGRESS

Chicago. Sept 4. "Atlanta proposes

to give President Taft another 'possum dinner, and Spokane has plans for an apple dinner. What can Chicago set before him that will be distinctive ?- That question was discussed, yesterday by the chairmen of the various committees of the Hamilton club, which have the entertainment of President Taft in hand. They have cudgeled their brains to find a menu of viands that are indigenous to this city, and had almost given up when suddenly Chesley R. Perry came to bat with a suggestion. "Chicago," said he, "is said to be the Indian word meaning onion. Why not give the president an onion dinner?" he asked. The idea seemed to be almost an Inspiration and was greeted with much enthusiasm. But on further discussion the majority of the committees concluded there were obstacles in the way. Mr. Perry, however, stood by his guns to the last and expatiated upon the beauties of the onion and the great nourishment that Is contained in one of these tear compelling bulbs.
