 Be it Resolved, That in the death of our lamented brother, Julius Si- mons, we have lost an earnest and able co-worker of four beloved Order, but we trust and firmly believe that he is now a member of that much Grander Order Eternal in the Heav- ems. May his short life be warn ing to us to be 'also ready" for the final change, as we know not when if may come.
 We beg leave to tender to his young and sorrowing wife our deep est sympathy in this her sad be- reayement, and we pray that the God of consolation will guide and keep her, Who has promised to be a Husband to the Widow, Father to he Fatherless, and Helper in the time of need.
 Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, and a CODY be sent to the bereaved widow, and also copy sent to the daily press for publication.

The costly part of fine fans is the paint
Ing Only u very few clover artists in
Paris have attained reputation Us fan
painters, and many great master in oils
would not dare risk his name in such work
Detaille has painted few fans with his
Characteristic military figures and one Of
the fans was sold in New York for n great
sum. But Dctalle seldom essays such
work. lie Loire painted fan that sold in
New York for $1,000. Madeleine Lemaire
occasionally paints a fan, but it is seldom
used except for wall decoration. Her prices
for such work are from $1,000 to $1,000.
There is Il host of comparatively I'M
known artists whose work, excellent in its
way, is seen on fans that cost from SO to
$50. Some Of them sign assumed names
to their work, and all are the hacks of the
Partisan trade. The really famous fan
painters of Europe are Albert, Chesseviere,
Houghton, Eugene Ciceri and Iassallcz.
Albert is a painter of miniatures, and his
training shows in his work on fans. His
figures have remarkable beauty of finish.
Chcnevcre is strong in costumes. He de-
lights in depicting gay groups of Parisians.
llOughtCn'1 work is noticeable for delicate
finish. Cicer is almost alone in painting
Alpine scenes. He will cover the whole
face of a fan with "A great Alpine land
scape, and one easily recognizable by those
familiar with the Alps. Iassalez is PEE
culiarly rich in coloring. Fans painted by
these artists are sold for 3l25 to 500 each.

Thomas w, Phillips, Jr., son of the Hon.
Thomas Phillips, of New Castle Pa, wa,
in Chicago few days ago, and reporter
obtained some interesting facts from him
concerning oil. The elder Phillips is the
largest single oil producer in the world,
and there are very few men who know
more about its history than Phillips pere
and Phillips fills.
Speaking of petroleum, the younger
man said; "The first mention of oil is in
the Book of Job, in which It is clearly
stated that the rock poured out rivers ID
oil. Herodotus speaks of oil springs 800
years before the Christian era. 1t has been
known in the world 1900 years, and the
ruins of Nineveh and Babylon show IT'S use
as cement or mortar. In India, China
Japan and other countries its existence
was known in ancient times To come
down TO modern times mention Is made of
its existence on the border line of pennsyl-

The acorn is the fruit of the oak; the
seed germ is very small object at the
pointed end of the acorn, with the future
root uppermost Tie acorn drops, and its
contents doubtless undergo important
molecular and chemical changes while it
lies under winter covering Of leaves or
snow. In the mild warmth of spring the
acorn swells, the little root eongates.
energies from the end of the shell and, no
matter what the position of the acorn,
turns downward. The root penetrates the
soil two or three inches before the stalk
begins to show itself and grow upward
The meat Of the acorn nOurishcs both
root and stalk, and two years may pass be
fore its store Of food is entirely exhausted
At the end of a year the young oak has a
root twelve to eighteen inches long, with
numerous shorter rcotlcta, the stalk being
from six to eight inches high. In this
stage it differs from the sapliuG, and again
the saphnH differs from the tree. To watch
these transformations under the lens is a

And those who sorrowcd he had cheer;

The heights were won he sought to win;
For love through him made all things fair

BE at the hall door or IN the square room
itself in order to see the gallery at all, and
Mia declared, as before, that she had
not reached the door. What she fancied
was ghost, bathed in a pale, cold light,
was probably the white curtains of the
pear windows. But the light-whence
came that?
The possibility of any one having been
in the room was not entertained.
Prompt and thorough search had been
made in every nook and corner of the
the upper story. The rooms of the nurse
and children were on the westward side
of the hall, and the nurse was i'll one of
them, putting on her hat, at the very
moment. Tho front room on the east
was unoccupied, Nita had chosen the
other because of that gallery and its
lovely view Then there was the rear
slope of tho main roof above the gal
lcry. That thought Holden, might
have offered a way of escape, because it
was out Of sight from the parade.
But Brewster and Randolph had both
essayed to reach the caves, and even
when standing on the railing could bare
" touch them with the tips Of their
fingers Then. again, q sentry walked
plong the edge of the slope leading to
the river bottom south Of tho long row
of officers quarters and close behind the
rear fence, but he was at the eventful
moment well down the row beyond Haz-
let's house, whereas DR. HOlden's was at
The eastern end of the line. The moon
shone full against the back fence, said
the sentry, and he was sure he would
have seen ANYBODY who ran out of the
gate Of the doctors yard, and the first
who appeared were the searching Off
GERS. Corporal Murphy with them. Sew
pral men had then como running from
the direction of the laundresscs quar-
ters to the west, and after them Ser
gcaut Ellis. Indeed, it was Ellis who
first suggested a search of the roof by
II cans Of ladder. lie was sergeant in
charge Of the fire apparatus kept in
that long low building at the east end,
and had the keys OF the door.

QY VIRTUE OF the powers vested in the
undersigned as mayor of the incor-
porate town of Lamar, notice is hereby
given that on the 9TH dny of April A. ID.
1892, at the county building near the
county Jail in said town of Lamar, where
the fall election of 1891 was held in said
town, there will be held municipal
election for the election of the following
officers of said town of Lamar, to-wit:
A mayor for the term of one year, and
three trustees for a term tf two years
each. The board of registration will
hold its first meeting at said county
building-on the 18th day of March, 1892,
its second meeting on the 29th day of
March, 1892, and its third meeting on
the 4th day of April, 1892. Let the sa-
looms be closed between the hours of Z
o'clock a. m. and o'clock p. N. on said
election day, to the end that the laws Of
the State shall be duly respected and
obeyed, and that said election shall be
conducted according to the laws OF the
State. Witness my hand this 9th day
of March, 1892.

The Town Election.

The town election will be held on
Tuesday, April 9th, and according to the
eisction law of 1891, nominations must
be certified to the city clerk not less
than fifteen days before election.
The call for republican convention will
be found in this issue of the REGISTER.
1t is set for next Tuesday afternoon at
the Court house. The democratic voters
will also hold convention on Wednes-
day, at the same place.
Although there will probable be two
tickets in the field, each will be headed
by U. Fl. Vanorsdale for mayor, il he will
consent to run, and, as a good and pro-
gressive citizen, his acceptance, as q
matter of public duty, must follow. He
has been mayor for three years, and al
though "a public office without reason
able compensation is a private curse"
yet, where AZ in his case, the confidence
Of the people in an upright, economical,
and yet progressive administration rests
in great measure on the fact that he
continues at the head Of town ahairs.
Mayor Nanorsdale will remain our mayor
for another year at least.
For councilmen, only clean, progressive
men should be selected. Such 81 nre
above private chickering's and strife, and
who, by reason OF their interests and in
clinations have the interest Of the COM
munity at heart.
