Resolutions of Respect

To the Noble Grand Officers and Brethren
of Wellington Lodge, No. l33, Independent
Order Of Odd Fellows of the State OF Kansas:
We, the undersigned committee az
pointed to draft resolutions relative
to the death of our brother, w. o.
Barnett, beg leave to report the fol-
lowing:
All that are born must die. Not a
home in all the land but sooner or
later must have a vacant chair; not a
heart anywhere but will in some time
be made sad by the loss of dear and
loved friend. Death has made his
visit into our lodge, and into the home
of the family Of our beloved brother,
DR.. W. o. Barnett, and he is no more
with US. His work was not finished,
but his services in life are over. No
more shall we meet and greet him
within the sacred precincts Of our
lodge; no more be cheered and guided
by his wise cOunsels, nor will bis
family receive the aid and support
and kind acts to which they have so
long used.
We, his brethren, hereby resolve,
That as our brother in life was
true patriot, a firm friend, a devoted
Odd Fellow, a kind husband, an af-
fectionate parent and a good neigh.
Dor, so in death we will remember his
virtues, forgetting his faults, if any
he had, and ever cherish a sacred
recollection Of the many loved scene.
and associations We have had with
him while he has been a member OF
this lodge. And we recommend to
his afflicted family to seek for consO-
lation at the Throne Of Heaven from
whence all true joy emanates.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the records
Of the lodge, published in the yelling.
ton papers and furnished by the sec.
Rotary OF the lodge to the family of
our deceased brother, and that the
lodge room be draped in mourning for
a period Of thirty days.

decisions Of our supreme court. This
makes those who are liable for such
taxes Indifferent whether they pay
such taxes or contest them in the
courts. There is no more obnoxious
system of taxation.
And while our city council is in the
ordinance business, We suggest that
they look over Wellington's Occupa-
ton tax ordinance. This ordinance
may have been equitable and just
when IL was passed, although we
doubt it; but it is certainly out of
joint with the present times in many
respects Permit an Illustration.
The Hunter mill has certainly made
good profits for its owners during the
past years. There are many thOus-
andS Of dollars invested in the proper
ty and its operating capital. The
Hunter Milling Company is required
to pay only s. year occupation tax.
On the streets, any hour Of any day,
you can see two or three drayS backed
up to the sidewalk, whose owners are
anxiouSly waiting for a chance to earn
twenty-five cents. Many of these men
are practically dependent upon their
earnings, day by day, to buy feed for
their teams and the neceSsaries of life
for their families. Yet these dray-
men are called on to pay $l2 a year in
occupation tax. Not one of them is
able to contribute one penny to this
fund, and to do so they must deny
their families just that much of the
comforts of life. Each of these dray-
men is an honest, industrious man,
willing and anxious to make money
by the hardest of hard work. But the
work isn't here for them TO do. Their
earnings are not sufficient to Justify
the city in flching any part of it from
them under the guise of an occupation
tax. The same is true Of several 9TH
er occupations and callings in the CITY,
Dozens and dozens of those who are
held liable by this occupation tax, can
pay only by depriving their families
of that much of the common comforts
and neceSsarieS Of life. Under the
existing circumstances, this occupa.
ton tax is burdenSOme and oppressive
upon the great majority of those who
are called upon to pay it. Many do
not pay, because they cannot. We
invite the careful attention of the
city authorities to this feature of the
as well as to the gross inc
qualities in the existing ordinance,
which are apparent to the most casual
reader.

Friday was the one hundred and
nineteenth anniversary of The stars
and stripes. On June II, III, the
continental congress adopted the fol-
lowing resolution: Resolved, That
the flag Of the thirteen states be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white, that the Union be thirteen
stars, white in blue field, represent
ing a new field, representing new
constellation" The resolution was
the act which brought into existence
that emblem so dear TO every true
American heart, the symbol Ofliberty,
equality and justice. AS we have adj
ded to our aggregation of states, the
constellation in the blue field Of the
flag has increased in accompanying
pace, until now we have union rep
resented there, the like of which was
not even dreamed Of when our nation
al emblem was formed and adopted.

illegal and void. And besides this,
none of these licenses have been paid
for even monthly 10 advance. For in
stance, H. H. Case did not pay his s25
for May until the very last day of the
month. Several Others have not paid
their'Syet. None Of them have paid
for June; none Of sthem ever pay in
advance. Consequently each of them
could be fined enough, even under this
practice, TO break a national bank.
Prior to the charges incident TO the
city election, we doubt whether such
prosecutions could have been made
effective. We have no doubt that
Mayor Savage would throw every i'm
pediment in his power in their way
today. But the city now has a police
Judge who will do his duty under the
law fearleSSly, we believe. 1t is i'm
material what the disposition of the
present or coming city attorney may
be. The present city council will
stand by the law and the ordinances.
W. H. Maddy, the councilman from
the Fourth ward, has been regarded
by many as opposed to the enforce.
ment of temperance in this city. He
is the father of this malt ordinance"
aud has constantly defended it. We
have known Mr.. Ma1dy intimately
for fifteen years. We believe that he
has been miSjudged; we know that
his views coincide with ours upon the
method If procedure above set forth:
we are fully satisfied that he will
heartily support a movement to en-
force this ordinance in its letter and
spirit. If such is the case, the coun-
Gil would have a good, clear working
majority all along the line and at
every turn in the road.
One question remains to be demon
Strated. Hundreds of enthusiastic
temperance people turned out to DR..
Tracey'S temperance lectures: men
and women went about the streets
into these malt joints praying to God
that these hell holes be closed; the W.
Z. l. |. has been peculiarly demon
strative during the past winter and
spring; let some leader step out on
our streets with Snowy banner and
call for recruits in the temperance
cause and hundreds would flock
around him: give our temperance peg
pie a chance 10 talk, to sing and to
pray, to be the observed of all OBJ
servers, y to parade before the public,
to be the talk Of the town and they
arc strictly in it, But, is there a
man or a woman among them who
has the grit, the moral courage, the
Stamina of character to step out in
the open alone and actually DO
something? Is there one among their
number who dare take the response
bility of filing complaints against the
keepers of these malt joints when
they know they have a sure thing of
winning? We have had lots of fuss
and feathers" from them; is this all
there is to them?

An Oklahoma Treasure.

The Times Journal, Oklahoma City,
prints the following hair-raising story:
Some time ago some parties down in
the Chickasaw nation found an old
paper containing an account of a
party of Spaniards who started from
the gold fields of Mexico for St. Louis,
Mo, with large amount of gold bull
lion for the market. When they ar
rived in the Pott country they were
attacked by the Indians. They re-
pulsed the first attack but fearing a
return of the Indians, threw the gold
into spring and blazed four trees,
putting peculiar mark upon the
trees.
That night the Indians returned in
greater force and killed all the party
save one boy vino lived to tell the
story. The knowledge Of this expedi-
tiOn came to a man living in the Pott
country by the name of Savage. A
few weeks ago he was cutting a large
oak tree to saw into lumber. When
he came to prepare it he noticed it
had been blazed and had peculiar
marks upon it. He examined other
trees and found four corresponding
to the description as given, but there
was no spring. Not discouraged,
however, he Immediately went to
work and dug in the spot indicated.
Water was discovered in a few feet in
a vein of quicksand. By great effort
the quicksand was removed when he
came upon a blue clay. A square
opening had been made through this
clay, which was now full of sand. He
was not able to 60 further as the hole
cayed in on him. After obtaining
assistance he again went to work,
cleaned out the opening through the
clay bed, and sunk the shaft fifteen OF
twenty feet through sand when he
came upon another clay bed, in which
there were two holes branching of
from a common point. He took his
drill and followed up one of the open
ings when he came upon something
metallic, irregular in shape that he
could not move.
The excitement of the men was in
tense, but itwas too late and too dan.
gerOus to complete their work that
night.
When they returned the next morn
ing to complete the investigation the
treacherOuS quick sand had again
filed the opening. Mr.. Savage was
in the city yesterday to get lumber to
make a casing that will keep out the
quick sand. Its evident the opening
through the first layer of clay was
made by the water. The bullion fell
heavily through the water and sand
upon the clay below where it divided
into two parts and buried itself.
1t is thought they had not less than
100000 in gold. A number of at
tempts have been made by parties at
Norman to find the gold, but to no
avail.
