Days of suffering and nights of pain
are the unhappy lot of the victim of those
dreadful diseases, rheumatism and neural

lie down. Four doses of the new specific,

system, and he writes that the remedy can
not be recommended too highly.

BRoTBERs-fn the fulfllment of your in

ment OF the losn Of one of the noblost spirits Of
our beloved order-one who was rapidly
achieving the highest reputation both In his
profession and In social lie.
The Hon. u. I. Boone, a member of the Inde-
pendent Order OF Odd Fellows, and an officer
Of this lodge. has passed from earth.

And flowers to wither at the north winds

And stars TO set-but all

with feelings OF intense sympathy and ex-
mittee realize their inability TO do Justice to the
subject OF an obituary in.the humble effort to
set upon record brief synopsis OF Judge
derived from years, but from the remarkable
elements constituting his character, whether
Fellow or as citizen and professional man nam
for he was alike distinguished for his varied
attachments and his thorough culture.
$50 he has passed the unreturning gates
Where dust with dust llnger, and gone. down,
With all the vigor OF maturing manhood,
To this most sacred city OF the dead.
Approaching at their true worth the distin-
Euished traits that marked the indiv iduality OF
Brother Is. 1. Boone, Il Is a source of great re-
greet TO your committee-a regret that was
shared by our deceased brother In his lifetime
viz, that he had not Joined our "beloved
order" at an early period of his life.
After his connection with the order he soon
learned and appreciated that Il furnished him
with new field OF enlarged culture, education
and usefulness; that II was an "order" whose
membership embraced half a million male
adult voting citizens OF the United States,
which collect and dispense annually between
four and Ave millions; which Ia based on those
democratic principles upon which our State and
National government are founded; which aims
to conform and keep abreast with the progress
OF the age; which conducts Its Legislative pro-
ccedinRs according to the most approved stan
dards of parliamentary laws, and where the
Inemb ers of the "order" learn the law OF pub
lie assemblies, the courtesies OF deberative
bodies and refinement and amenity OF manners.
In word IL was an institution which our de-
ceased brother could not fail TO appreciate and
which made marked impression on him. But
alas borne on the breeze comes the mournful
sound.
Deadl deadt our orders said refrain.
"Not so while reigns our God on high,
The true of heart can never de-"
Resolved, That we record all appropriate
honors of the order to the memory of our
brother. j. Y. DAsHIELL,
