In Memoriam.

Grand Rapids lodge No. 1913, A. f.
& A. H., at its regular communication
held en- the 4th day of August 1856,
resolves and declares as follows:
The Supreme Architect of the
Universe has called from his earthly
labor to everlasting rest and joy, our late
Worshipful Master aud most worthy
brother Charles HI. Herschleb. In
his life time, and during many years
preceding his death, Brother Hersch-
leb was Master Mason, worthy of his
high calling. He labored most earnest
ly and constantly, in lodge-room and
elsewhere, to uphold and maintain in
their ancient privity and simplicity the
sublime principles Of freemasonry,
truth, justice, brotherly love. In all
his intercourse with men, business and
social, his life and conduct, without
affect alton or ostentation, were con-
slant exemplifcation of these pure
principles. He was a good citizen
obedient to the laws, and Justly mind
full of the rights of others; good
neighbor, a Conscientious counselor,
faithful and answering friend. He
was an affectionate and faithful hus-
band, an indulgent and devoted father.
Stricken down in the muturity of his
manhood, and in the midday of his
usefulness, his death is indeed a loss
and sorrow to all, save himself, and
especially SO to his family, and to this
lodge. The place now made vacant
will not soon, nor easily, be filled. To
the bereaved wife and children we ex-
tend our coincidence, heartfelt and
sincere. TO the fraternity we COM
mend the lesson thus again renewed
mo man knoweth when his final
summons shall come. Be We therefore
ready"
AS mark of respect for the memory
of our deceased brother, this testimo-
NAL will be, and the same hereby is
adopted, as expressing the sentiments
Of this lodge, and ordered to be enter
ed at length upon the record of its
official proceedings. It is also ordered
that the lodge room be draped in the
usual evidences of mourning for the
space of sixty days.
It is further ordered and recon-
mended that these resolutions be
printed in one Of the local newspapers
and a copy be presented to the
bereaved wife of our worthy brother,
G. FL. Herschleb.
To the officers and brothers of
Grand Rapids Lodge No. 128, A. f.
& A. Nj
The undersigned committee, ap-
pointed to draft and present to the
lodge suitable expressions commemora-
tive of the life and virtues of our late
worthy brother Charles HI. Herschleb,
now deceased, and of regret because
of his early death, respectfully report
the foregoing, and recommend their
adoption.

Editor Rosters New Residence

While in Centralia Monday we took
peaceable possession of Mr.. Rossier's
new home and went through it from
top to bottom. The building was plan
ned with an eye to comfort, and some
thing that will be pleasing to look
upon. On the south and west sides
large deep porches adorn the house.
In entering the front door it opens into
a large square hall out of which the
front stairway leads. This hall is
probably 12x14 #, large enough to
permit Of stove which will probably
be placed there in winter time. Out
of the hall on the left you enter a
sitting room and on the back you enter
a small hall or passage way which
leads into the kitchen. Out of the
back hall on the left you enter the
DINING room and out of this by
folding doors into the sitting room and
bed room. On the south side of
this room is bay window full size Of
the width of the room. In the plan
ming of this house Mr.. Rossier calcu-
lated to do away with the room usually
called the parlor, or else we missun-
derstood the plan. Off from the
kitchen is large roomy pantry with
flour bins, cupboards and all the
essentials necessary for pantry use.
Out of the pantry you go down cellar
and out of the kitchen leads the back
stairway.
Up stairs we found five large sized
rooms with closets off from each and
square hall at the head of the front
stairway same size as the front hall
down stairs. The house is awaiting a
few finishing touches from the carpen-
tiers, then comes the painters. The
editor of the Centralia ENTERPRISE
will then take comfort in his new home,
and editorials on ''foreign relations
will flow from his electric pen.

EDITOR REPoRTER:-I promised

at the first glance that it is place of no
little Importance. Indications are that
1t has men not only of large capital.
but of energy and business enterprise
Though place of but 5000 inhabi-
tants the metropolitan style of build

peculiar to cities of much larger
proportions. Its macadamized streets.
electric lights, street railways, the
large church buildings of various
denominations, and five large district
school buildings besides the Normal
College show wide-a-wake people,
1t has five railroads with bonds voted
and right of way secured for two more.
Its natural resources are sufficient to
make any town boom. The great
supply of coal, the natural gas for
lighting, heating and cooking purposes
and the mineral we'll of the depth of
1000 feet. Its system of water works
perfect as any in the west, is a great
safe guard from fire. The Castor oil
and the wollen mills, the potteries,
cement, lime and tile works for fues
and sewerage, the large saw mill and
extensive -four mills, sugar factory and
refinery, serve to make it place of
general business. Besides the traffic
IN lumber and brick manufactured here
the flag stone quarries furnish much
OF the material for buildings and side
walks. The absence Of saloons as one
walks on the streets is readily observed:
marked feature of prohibition.
About one-fourth Of the population of
Fort Scott is colored people which
makes the city look rather dark.

Printing Offices are not run for the
fun of the thing. They are business
enterprises, pure and simple. 1t costs
time and money to use type. 1t is
just as logical to ask newspaper man
to donate certain amount Of cash to
private enterprise, as to give the use
of his type without even an acknow-
Judgement. There is great deal of
"sponging'' in this world, and printers
are continually invited to make them
selves subjects for the process.

A Remedy for Lung Diseases.

DIR. Robert Newton, late president
of the Electric College, of the city of
New York, and formerly of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, used Dr. VIM. Halls
Balsam very extensively in his practice
as many of his patients, now living,
and restored to health by the use of
this invaluable medicine, can amply
testify. He always said that so good
remedy ought to be prescribed freely
by every physician as a sovereign
remedy in all cases of lung diseases.
1t cures Consumption, and has no
equal for all pectoral complaints.

We take the following item from the
Neillsville Times, the leading republi-
can paper in Clark County, in reference
to the 18th Senatorial nomination:
It is conceded that Clark County is
entitled to the office, and the man
nominated at the convention Septem-
Der 1st, should be one who can carry
Clark county by handsome majority.
Two years ago the county gave the
present incumbent the insignificant
majority of 43-with a united party
and the district a majority of 143.
(The Blue Book enormously makes it
273.) The same counties comprising
the 18th district, gave Gov. Rusk
zoos majority and Blaine 1902.
The republican party must not make
the mistake of two years ago. A man
must be nominated who will assure the
success of the party, and the Times
believes Mr.. j. L. Gates will prove
such man. We can assure the
Reporter that he will carry Clark
county by an overwhelming majority,
and this must be done to make the
election of republican senator GER
tain. The success of the party is
paramount to the interests of any one
man. We are in possession of articles
which have appeared in the Medford
Star and News, the Grand Rapids
Reporter, the Marshfeld Times and
Gazette, the Spencer Tribune the Gen.
tralia Enterprise, the Rhinelander
New North, and the Merrill Advocate,
(papers published in the district, or so
close to the line as to be greatly
interested in the district) which show
that the people of the district outside
OF CLARK county, are utterly opposed
to the reelection of the Hon. NJ. G.
Ring, while we believe if the latter is
nominated the comfy will not only
wipe out the republican margin of 43
two years ago on the senatorial ticket
Chat for county officers was as high
as 1,200) but will give his democratic
opponent large majority and result in
sending democrat to the senate from
the 18th district
We submit the name of j. L.
Gates with the assurance that he can
be elected.
