WILLIAM JENKS. A well known figure at St. John's Cathedral, recently temporarily absent it was hoped, will return no more. Mr. William Jenks, who for the past 11 years has filled the office of verger to the cathedral, succumbed last evening to an attack of typhoid fever, at the early age of 34 years. He will be remembered by the worshippers at St. John's for his genial manner, modest bearing, and the faithful discharge of his duties, by which he had endeared himself to a wide circle of friends. He was a native of York, England.

MR. H. JENKS. Mr. H. Jenks, until lately a resident of Mt. Morgan, passed away at Yeppoon after a short illness. Born at York, Yorkshire, he came to Australia in 1890 in the Jumma and landed at Brisbane, where he remained some time and was in the tramway service. Then he removed to Mt. Morgan, where he lived ever since until a few months ago, when he went to Yeppoon for health reasons. While in Mt. Morgan he was in the service of the Mt. Morgan Goldmining Co. He is survived by his widow and two sons, George and Arthur, and three daughters, Nellie, Lily, and Jessie. The funeral took place at Yeppoon last Sunday afternoon. A large number of his Mt. Morgan friends called to express their sympathy.
