PAGE, Pastor. JOHN G. PEGG, WEIGHTS AND MEASURES INSPECTOR, DEAD. For Ten Years He Filled An Important Political Position With Satisisfaction to Administration and the Public. Omaha, August 7, The wholly unexpected death Thursday afternoon of John Grant Pegg, city inspector of weights and measures, at his home, 4308 Patrick avenue, came as a distinct shock to his family and friends.

Two weeks ago Mr. Pegg had what was then considered a slight paralytic stroke from heat prostration and from which he was apparently rapidly recovering, and soon expected to be about his duties. Thursday afternoon he took a turn for the worse. Twenty minutes after his death a telegram was received from his mother asking how he was. Mr.

Pegg was born in Richmond, in 1868, and was raised and educated in Kansas. Being the eldest of a large family he was forced early in life to earn his own living, For a time he followed railroad life. He came to Omaha in 1899, where he has since resided. He served as messenger to Mayor Frank E. Moores from 1901 to 1906.

In 1906 he was appointed by Mayor Dahlman as inspector of weights and measures, which position he filled for ten years to the satisfaction of the administration and to the business public whom he served. He was one of the best liked men on the city pay roll. He was a thirtysecond degree Mason, being a member of Rescue Lodge No. 25. Mr.

Pegg was married to Miss Mary Page of Topeka, Kansas, in 1899. He is survived by his widow, five children, Mary, a senior, and James, a sophomore in the high school; John, Ruth and Gaitha: a mother, brothers, James of New York City, Henry of Chicago, Charles of Oakland, and Bayliss of Omaha, and a sister, Mrs. Ida Prayther of Oklahoma City. A brother-in-law, Prof. Gaitha Page of Kansas City, and a sister-inlaw, Miss Ella Page of Topeka, arrived in Omaha Friday morning in response to a telegram.

The funeral was held Sunday, afternoon from Zion Baptist Church, the Rev. W. F. Botts officiating. Jones and Chiles had charge of the burial.

General Committee of Kansas City Baptists Declare in Their Last Communion That Superior Arrangements Have Been Made for the Entertainment of the Thousands Expected There in September. From the headquarters of the local committee of arrangements in this city there came the information today that "All things are ready" to give to the Baptists who are to assemble in their national convention here September 6th such care and attention as has never been attempted by any local committee in the entertainment of the delegates since the convention was organized. "The West is bristling with the desire to show her best self and to stamp indelibly upon the hearts and minds of the people her her golden opportunities and her burning desire to do honor to the largest gathering of religious workers in the world," declared the committee today when they sent out the following general announcement: The Committee of Arrangements for the National Baptist Convention which is to convene in Kansas City, September 6-12th, wishes to say to the public at large that, knowing as we do the coming of the convention will mean much to Kansas City and vicinity, as the largest organized body of its kind is coming to the gateway of the West, and that this city with the.

Both white and black are anxious that this be an ideal session.

Every effort is being made by the committee to make every moment of your stay a pleasant one in every way. There will be splendid transportation arrangements and facilities, as Kansas City is noted for the best street car system in the country.

Commercial Club, the Business Men's League, the Medical Society and other civic organizations are in hearty accord with your coming to Kansas City. The meeting place of the convention, the great convention hall, is in the pathway of two of the best car lines in the city, operating many different cars connecting the two Kansas Cities. The many friends who are coming from the East and North will share these advantages. You will do much to assist the committee in helping you from the depot to your homes by notifying the committee of the hour of arrival of your special trains. Committee- Rev.
