Tribute of Respect.
HALL OF PYTHAGoRAs LODGE !
No. %. l. o. O. 4.

NJ. 90 l. W. ". r.
Noble Grand and Brothers:
The occasion which calls us to-
gether this evening fills our hearts
with sorrow and sadness. Death has
again invaded our mystic circle, and
we have met to pay the last sad tribute
of respect to the memory of our de-
par ed brother, Past Grand Henry AL
ward, who departed this life suddenly
at his home in this city about o'clock
a. IN. Wednesday, May q, 1891, aged
II years.
Brother Awards connection with
the order commenced in the year lS47,
at which time he was admitted to
membership in Manchester Lodge of
Allegheny City, Penn. In 1857 he re-
moved to this city and became a mem
Der of our lodge, during which time
he was fully identified and associated
with the work, illustrating in his life
and character the true principles OF
Odd Fellowship. In 1870 he was ad-
mitted a member of Young Encamp-
ment No. 33, and by his untireing de-
votion to the principles of the order
he has left d record that will enshrine
his memory in the hearts of all true
Odd Fellows; therefore
Resolved, That in the death OF
Brother Award the order has lost one
of its faithful and most useful mem
bers, the community valued citizen,
and his familya kind and indulgent
husband and father.
That in this sad stroke of affiiction
we tender to the bereaved family our
heart felt sympathy and coincidence.
That as an assurance of our pro
found respect for the memory of the
deceased, we attend his funeral ina
body and wear the usual badge OF
mourning for thirty days, and that
our charter and emblems be draped in
mourning.
That the foregoing resolutions be
spread on the records of the lodge, a
copy he presented to the family of the
deceased and copy be furnished the
city papers for publication.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN YOUNG,
b. G. HATTLER,
II. II. WILLIS,

COMMITTEE MEETING.
Let Every Member Attend Promptly
Next Monday Night.

DIR. Marable, chairman OF the
Commercial Club committee on Pub.
lie Policy, authorizes the LEAF
CHRONICLE to call meeting of the
committee for next Monday night at
O'CLOCK. The meeting will be held
in DIR. Marable's office, and it is very
important that full attendance of
members be had.
The object of that meeting is to
formulate plans by which the project
for getting up mineral and agricul-
tural display for the county can be
put before the public in official form,
and by which the same can be made
a success. There is much work to be
done before the committee can have
the room, rendered by Judge Tyler,
put in order for the reception of spec
linens, and this is leading object in
calling the committee together. The
room has been ordered cleaned up,
and the next work in order will be
that of having the necessary fixtures
put in. This will be determined by
the committee.
The best thing for the committee
to do at first is to get up fine min
eral and timber display. That can
be done during fhe summer months,
and next fall the agricultural display
can be secured. There is more inter
est felt now in Clarksville's mineral
and timber resources perhaps than
anything else and a better opportu-
nifty could not be found TO get speri-
mems. The Mineral road being built
through the heart of Montgomery
county's mineral lands offers the OPP
pOrtunity alluded to above. AS eVi.
dence Of this it might be well tC
mention that at the directors meet.

hibitGd piece Of Limestone which
he secured over there that when ana.
| lyzed showed 81 per cent. lime, q
per cent iron and the remainder, one.
half of one per cent, PHOSPHORUS
This is quality Of limestone that is
rarely excelled. The whole truth OF
the matter is, it is nearly pure lime.
A specimen of this kind would at
tract wide attention at the Worlds
Fair if it were accompanied with the
analysis.
The absence of phosphorus in lime
stone is what makes it valuable in
the manufacture of iron, and such as
this can be found in almost mex.
haustible quantity along the line OF
the Mineral road.
In addition to this the iron ore OF
the same section will be great al
vertisement for the city and county.
Capitalists the world over have their
eyes on Mineral and timber lands
and with fair display of MontgOm-
cry county's wealth in this particular
some of the money can be brought
here.
The planning mills and Bending
Works offer a splendid opportunity
for getting up hard wood display
and the proprietors of either of these
enterprises will take pleasure in Civ
ing the committee any assistance in
this line needed.
The farmers will also cooperate
with the committee in providing the
agricultural display. Every product
of the farm must be represented, and
when the mineral, timber and agri-
cultural resources Of the county are
properly represented, that room is
going TO be full and will be show
Of itself Let every member of the
committee attend the meeting Mon,
day night at DIR, Marbles Office
promptly at s O'Clock. There is work
to be done.

Penman-Hoey, Late of the Adams Ex-
press, Treats the Company to a Sur
prise An Attachment That Doesn't
Attach.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. lit came to light
yesterday that the name of George Hiles,
the millionaire lumberman, railway man
and speculator, had been forged probably
To the extent of $4,000 The fraudulent
paper passed through the hands of NJ r.
Hansen, of the town of Hansen, Wood
county, a prominent lumberman after
wAom the town was named. Hansen dis
appeared several days ago. His where
aoouts are unknown, and his mills and
property have been attached by creditors
II has been in business there for several
years and had extensive business transac-
tions with Mr.. Hiies. Up to the present
time he has been regarded as an honora-
bic business man and was very prominent
in lumber circles.
The Forgeries Come to Light.
The first that was known of the forger-
les was when the Grand Rapids bank sent
in 5000 note for Mr.. Hiles to pay, the
ncte purporting to have been made by
Hiles to Hansen and Endorsed by Hansen
10 other parties. Hlles has not a scrap of
promissory paper in the world. and it was
evident at once that a forgery had been
committed. Following that came infor-
nation of two notes of 81 500 each at La
Crosse and another of IS go at Centralia.
Just how much more is in existence is
not known, but it is reported that there
are several other large notes in circula-
ton in the neighboring districts.
Not Good subject for the ForSer.
Mr.. Hiles said last night: Hansen has
disappeared, but l think be should be
made an example Of He is an intelligent
man, and had a. much confidence in
him as did in any man in Wood county.
l first became suspicious when got word
from Grand Rapids that a man named
Harmon had note purporting to have
been drawn by me and endorsed by Han
sen. | never give notes aud never in
dorse the notes Of other people, but
didn't suspect Hansen even then. Next
received a letter from a Lacrosse bank
that claimed to have two of my notes for
s., 500 each, that were dated Oct B. i'm
mediately telegraphed the bank that
had executed not such notes. That started
al investigation there"
Mulcted some La Crosse People.
telegram from La Crosse says that
about 5000 of the forged paper is said to
be held y banks there, principally the
National and Batavian, but the exact
amount cannot be learned. as the officers
refuse 10 talk. Mons Anderson and Louis
Larson. of that city, are large creditors of
Larsen for supplies furnished, but as both
are at Hansen nothing of the amount can
be learned

Some Congressman Appears to BE Sell
Ing Public Documents
WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE secretary of
agriculture is being greatly annoyed by
some person in Washington who is
sending postal cards to new members of
congress Offering Tor sale 800 copies of
the agricultural report and PIG copies of
the special report on diseases Of the horse
The number advertised Of each of these
reports is exactly the allotment of a MEM
Der of the Fifty-first congress, and the
conclusion is irresistible that some mem
Der Of that body is converting into money
documents which congress voted for the
use and benefit of his constituents.
His Constituents should Know Him.
Secretary Rusk, when asked about this
matter yesterday. gave it as his opinion
that the constituency OF q member who
would thus dispose Of government publ
cations should be made aware OF the f%ct
in order that they might elect a member
who would faithfully carry out the intent
of the law governing these publications.
He says, however, that there is probably
no way, IN which the party could be de-
tected and exposed.

Official Notes.
WASHINGTON, Oct. IL -Postmaster Gen.
sal Wanamaker is collecting the data
for his annual report to congress So far
rs can be ascertained the special features
of the report will be similar to those of
last year. During the last year he has
been making experiments in one or two
branches of the service and he is likely to-
makes special point for their develop
ment. His postal telegraph scheme is not
dead, all reports to the contrary notwith
standing Wanamaker proposes asking
the next house to look into it and investi-
gate the arguments and figures he is now
preparing in its support. Much the same
arguments will be used with the present
congress as those which were used with
the last.
Still a Friend of Postal Savings Banks.
The same may be said of the postal
savings bank. Wanamaker is thorough
Iy convinced that one of the most benefi-
cial additions to the present postal serv-
ice would be the establishment of savings
banks at postoffices. His experience and
the reports from the country generally
the during last year convince him more
thoroughly than ever Of its practicability.
The demand for such institut ions in
farming districts and small villages
where there are no regular banks has
been growing steadily. His recommended
tions in this line will be similar to those
of last year. He will recommend that
there he no more than one bank for every
ten miles of area and that the interest
paid on deposits be Is of one per cent.
lower than that paid by private bank
ers.
Not Sanguine as to Penny Postage.
With regard to penny postage the post
master general is not so enthusiastic as
he was. While in his Recommendations
he will not recede from the position taken
In his former reports he will not lay
special stress on this radical change He
is not very sanguine of persuading con-
eress to appropriate SIS, 900 or so, 0OO.-
600 for the deficit that would occur in the
department in case the reduction was
made. The argument that reduction of
the postage one-half would increase the
letter business is met at the department
by the estimate that largely increased
force would be necessary to do the bust
ness, and consequently the expenses of the
Office be correspondingly increased.
