Mrs. Mary
Jenkins Has an
Eventful Life
I Deceased Lady Was One of the Pio
neer Women of This Section of
This Great State.
There passed away on Monday
morning at Murraj', one of the women
of this community who in her
long and useful life of almost eighty-
! eight years, had contributed a great
deal toward the upbuilding of the
communities in which she had lived
and who has for sixty-three years
been a resident of Cass county, a
period of time as great as the aver
age ilfetime of man or woman.
This lady was Mrs. Mary Jenkins,
affectionately known in her home
community as "Grandma Jenkins"
and whose presence has been a source
of comfort and cheer to her friends
and neighbors for the many years of
her residence in that community.
Mary Piggott was born on Septem
ber 25. 1S3S, near Sciota.Ohio, the
parents of this lady having at a very
early day come to the then newer
section of the nation to make their '
home. While she was but four years
4f age the parents moved westward
to the state of Illinois in which state
the farming lands were slowly oc
cupied by the emigrants from the
more eastern stattes and where the
residents were still being threatened
by the Indians that roved through
the western country of which Illin
ois was the irontmer. At this time
in the state of Illinois Stephen A.
Douglass was approaching the height
of his fame and an obscure lawyer
at Salem was commencing to attract
the attention of his state Abraham
Lincoln. The parents of Mary Pig
gott were not satisfied with the con
ditions that they found in Illinois
and after two years there returned
to Ohio. The death of the father at
this time loft the young girl in the
custody of the grandparents with
whom she made her home until mar
riage. It was on August 2S, 1857. at the
family home at Sciota, Ohio, that the
marriage of Mary Piggott to Walter
Jenkins took place and from that time
until 1S63 the family resided in that
locality. Here was born the family
of four sons. Julian A. Jenkins, John
Calvin. Jenkins, James William Jen
Kins and Walter Ellsworth Jenkins.
In the year 1SG3 the family effects
were loaded into the old time cov
ered wagons drawn by oxen and the
march across the states of Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa to the new terri
tory of Nebraska was undertaken by
the family and which covered a per
iod of some seven months before they
arrived at the east bank of the Mis
souri river and gazed on the bluffs
of the Xebraska side of the river that
was their goal and to be their fu
ture home. After reaching this state
the family located on a farm near
Weeping Water and resided there
for a number of years, the husband
and father tilling the soil and assist
ing in the development of the coun
try. Later in 3SG7 the family moved
to what was then a very important
settlement of Cass county. Eight Mile
Grove, where Mr. Jenkins engaged in
farming and later in .the operation
of a store that was the community
center and where Mr. Jenkins served
as postmaster for the years that this
postal station was maintained. In the
year 19 3 the family moved to Mur
ray, the sons by this time having
grown to manhood and commenced
the establishment of their homes. The
years were pleasantly spent at Mur
ray until on March 12, 189 8, the hus
band and father heard the last call
and passed to his reward. Since that
time the mother has made her home
with her son, W. E. Jenkins at Mur
ray and at whose home her death
came gently and peacefully early on
the morning of July 2G, 1926.
Of the family circle there remains
but one son, W. E. Jenkins of Mur
raj' to mourn her passing, three, of
the sons proceeding the mother tn
death, two grandsons. John Jenkins
of'Salix, Iowa, and EarJ Jenkins of
Chicago, a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jen
nie Jenkins and one nephew, Green
Piggott of Murray.

BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, August 1st
By M. a Brigs
1
Golden Text: Jehovah is
strength and song; and he has
come my salvation. Ex. 15:2.
The Wonderful Story.
The creation of the world was won-
derful. Created before man was here,
it was therefore not the wonderful
thing to him as one would suppose
until he had contemplated the ex-
celency of the God of all the universe,
with its millions of worlds, and in ex
tent of Euch magnitude that the mind
of man could not realize in any way
the greatness of it. When the world
had been finished and the heavens
uau urru itujjicu mi" i"c uuDiD L11C1 c
of, and the Earth had been prepared
ior me coming oi man, wun me trees,
the plants, the animals, then'was man'
ushered into being. j
God, said let us make man afters
our own image and in the image of;
the Creator, created He man. Then'
when the people of the Earth had;
grown wicked, and were disobedient s
to the commands of God, it was found j
necessary to remove them and thus
a portion of the sins which had made I
the world so bad was also removed
and the world was started again with
eight people, who had proved faithful.
Again the people sinned and it was
necessary for a people to be selected
through which a savior of mankind
was to come. It is surely a varity,
that the Creator of Heavens and
Earth could have compelled the
the creatures to be good, but the plan
was to have the people work out their
own salvation, and therefore was the
new nation created, by the works of
man directed by the God of the uni
verse. As Joseph had said to his
brethern in Ekypt. "Grieve not your
selves that yoti sold me into slavery,
for it was God that did. and he sent
me to Egypt to preserve life." And
away and beyond that was the fact
that he was creating a nation pecu
liar to himself, by and through which
he was to send His son and Our Savior
to Earth.
After the slavery of four hundred
and thirty years, when there had been
accumulated some nearly two and a
half million people ready for the
forming into a nation, Moses was sent
to bring them out and to bring them
to the land which had been given to
them by the Father.
We have just studied about the
severe oppression which had been the
lot of the Israelites, and of the plagues
which had been sent on the Egyptians
in order that they might let the peo
ple of Isrrel go, and having gotten to
the last plague from which the Isrl
ites were delivered while the Egypt
ians were smitten in every household
withone member dead, then were the
Israelites forced out of the land.
The Egyptians Change Their Minds.
After having been persecuted by the
plagues because they would not let
the Israelites go, and finally after the
people had gotten to that place where
they could not stand it longer, and
had even thrust the Israelites out of
their land, and as they saw them dis
appear towards their former home,
the Egyptians changed their minds,
and wanted them again for slaves and
collected an army and went after
them in order to bring them back and
enslave them again. At the same time
the Israelites, who had been slaves for
a number of generations, saw before
themselves the possibility of hunger
staring them in the face, condemned
Moses for bringing them out of bond
age, and as they were approaching the
sea, with the mountains on one side,
the sea in front and one side and the
Egyptians following behind with
their armies, they were affrightened
and charged Moses of having brought
them out of Egypt to be buried by
the sea, but they also called upon the
Great Jehovah, and when they com
plained to Moses, who felt that he
was in a measure responsible for the
situation, he went to the Father in
prayer. God answered by, "Why terry
ye here. Go forward."
Moses knew that there would be a
way provided, and that the God who
had brought the ten plagues on the
Egyptians would in scone way pro
vide for their deliverance, said to the
people, "Stand still and see the salva
tion of Jehovah." Well did he know
that the same God who had created
the universe, had cared for the Chil
dren of Israel during the four hun
dred and thirty years, and had caused
them to multiply, could in some way
provide for their deliverance.
The Pillar of Cloud and Fire
God had thrown around the camp of
the Israelites a cloud for the day and
a pillar of fire at night, to lead them,
but when the armies of the king of
Egypt approached, the pillar was
changed from before them to behind
them, this for protection. The pillar
of cloud was light towards the camp
of Israel and dark toward the Egyp
tians which allowed the one to work
as they pleased and threw the camp
of the others into the confusion of
darkness. The same was the
case at
night with the pillar of fire.
God-Divides the Sea.
When thi tiets were lookinir the
worst for the children of Israel. God I
said to Moses, stretch thy rod out
over the waters of the sea, and it will
be divided that there may be a path-,
way for thy crosaine. This Moses did
His fiat was enough, and the waters
were divided, and for another purpose
misht know that "God was a God, and
.t. that the Isrselites might have added
knowledge or this ract also.
Again that we of enlightened Amer
ica might have added faith in the
great Jehovah. With this setting the
Isrflites divided from the Egyptians
by the pillar of cloud in the day and
the pillar of fire by night, they were
delivered.
The Israelites Cross the Sea.
my With some confidence in the great
De Jehovah, that He would care for his
own, they marched bodily into the
trough of the sea, with their wives,
their children, their stock and their
goods. The Egyptians folowing that
they might overtake and return the
fleeing children to Egypt. When the
Israelites emerged on the other side of
the sea, the sea returned in its
full strength, and the armies of Egypt
were overwhelmed and drowned, ful
filling what Moses had said to his
followers that they should see the
faces of the Egyptians no more except j
when they should see their dead
i bodies alon"
! Thus were th
the shore of the sea.
e children of Isra l deliv
ered from the hand of the Egyptians,
and were forever free from them. We
now enter another experience of this
hoard of slaves, who had been in serv-,
itude for over four hundred years, and
the fathers slaves, the children slaves,!
and the grand children slaves for
many generations. Is it any wonder
that Moses should have had a time
with working this vast hoard
of peo -
pie into a nation which should be the
one through which the Savior should
come. See now how the purpose of
God were brought about by the work -
ing out in the wilderness of the peo -
pie under
mighty by
the
His
direction of the
servant, Moses.

Xeal Oblenis. still admits the killing
and says he believes he was justified.
Unwritten law. will be defense. Hill
is an ordinary looking farmer and re
sembles anything but a killer. He is
perfectly calm and willingly tells his
story leading up to the fatal shoot
ing which occurred at his ranch last
Tuesday afternoon following a fist
fight with Oblennis after the latter
was found with Mrs. Hill in a bed
room of the farmhouse.
Hill says he first suspected Ob
lennis of intimacy with Mrs. Hill
last March (when he returned to his
house unannounced and found the
pair very much confused. When
Oblennis was arrested for bootlegging
last winter and sentenced to ninety
days in jail Hill says he loaned him
money for attorney's fees. Hill board
ed Oblennis until spring work started
and gave him a job.
Hill says Oblennis entered his home
like a serpent and poisoned his wife
against him. Doubt and worry
prompted Hill to set the trap for Ob
lennis and he planned a two day trip
in his car. He drove his car into a
ravine and sneaked back to the Hill
farm where Oblennis and Mrs. Hill
were at the house. Hill was brought
from jail at Rushville to Alliance
when officers feared violence to the
prisoner.
DLSECT RADIO SERVICE
FOR THE PHILIPPINES
Direct radio telegraph service be
tween the United States and the
Philippines will be made available
early next year for the first time.
according to plans of the Radio Cor
poration of America, it has just been
announced. A new Philippine sta
tion is to be erected near Manila, for
which governmenmental approval
has already been accorded by Presi
dent Coolidge, according to the an
nouncement. It will be within radius
of the United States Navy's station
in Indo-China. It will also expedite
radio traffic with the Dutch East
Indies. Philippine messages are now
transmitted by the corporation from
a station near San Francisco.
FRENCH TO MANEUVER
Berlin, July 26. News that exten
sive French military maneuvers be
tween the Forty-first and the Forty-
seventh divisions are planned in the
Palatinate in September, has evoked
considerable resentment in Rhenish
and other German quarters.
The general feeling of indignation
has been enhanced by reports that
considerable reinforcements will be
called to the occupied area, including
large contingents of Negro troops.
It is argued that the existing at
mosphere of oppression and the op
portunities for dangerous friction be
tween the French troons and the Ger-
man innaDiianis are proportionately
intensified by the presence of Negro
soldiers.
