SIR KNIGHTS AND BRETHREN
We, your committee on coincidence, Of
Ter to YOU this, our sad report, for while

hearts, yet there Is that which has caus-

Some who sat with us one year ago,
have passed to the great beyond, and
while we sadly regret the loss to these
several castles, who haYe paid the last
sad rites to the knight recorded In this
margin yet among them all we are
certain that none WIN be missed more
than our dear brother, Past Grand Chief
s. n. Hlrst. His noble, untirlng work
In our beloved order has endeared him
to epch Of Our hearts: therefore, be It
Resolved, That while we bow to the
VIII of our Supreme Divine Ruler in
calling Brother 11irst homo TO heaven,
that our deepest sympathy be extended
to his family, ever praying that God
may shield them from the storms OF
He and that they at last may be gath
cred into the kingdom with Brother
Hlrst, who in life was an honor to US
and in his death left us an example of
pure life. And as we mark the sad
word Dead" opposite the names of
Past Grand Master $, N. Hirst, who
was member Of Castle No. I, and
Temple No. 4, and Past Chief George
Paulus, Of Castle No. 2, we know Of
nothing more appropriate to their lives
than to say
When hearts whose truth was proven,
Like thine. are laid In earth
There should u wreath he woven,

TO USE COMPRESSED AIR.
New York Company to Run Its Cars
Under a New Method.

New York. Aug. 1.-THE attorneys for
the Metropolitan Traction company and
the American Air Power company have
in their hands papers which, when
signed, will conSummate a conSolida-
ton of the two corporations.
Cars run by the compressed air syS-
tenn have been in use on One Hundred
and Twenty fifth street for over a year
and have given satisfaction. During
been carefully watched and has at
tracted attention from railroad men in
every part of the country.
There has not been a serious break
down and during the severe weather of
last winter when on horse cars four
horses were necessary the compressed
air motor ran schedule time and
never missed a trip.
1t was demonstrated, it is said, that
the system was Serviceable and much
more economical than the overhead
trolley.
An engine operated by compressed air
will be put on the Sixth avenue eleva-
ted road this week and a test made of
it's virtues for elevated traffic
One Chicago surface line is also max
ing test of the air motor and negotia-
lions are pending for the equipment of
one of the Chicago suburban roads with
the same service.
1t is expected that the Metropolitan
Traction company will equip all it's
crosstown lines, with the exception of
Fifty-ninth street, with the system of
the American Air Power company
1t is said the elevated road engineers
have already reported favorably on the
system and, although the trial is to be
made, that it has already been determ-
ined to make the change.

TO WATER THE DESERT.
Big Wall Street Irrigation Scheme
for Colorado and Utah.

Denver, Col, Aug. 12.-Colonel Bal
com of Wall street, New York, arrived
in Denver today to make arrangements
for carrying forward a gigantic irri-
eating project in western Colorado and
Utah in which he has become interest
ed. Colonel Balloon has been person.
ally investigating the ground to be COW
cred by the irrigating system.
The plan is to irrigate Mesa county,
Colorado, and Grand county, Utah. The
canal will start a the head of Platte
creek, above Grand Junction, following
the Grand river and then branching on
to the west, running through now
practically arid section. In the hrSt
six miles the canal will irrigate 10000
acres in Colorado alone and 2OO,00O in
Utah, provided the Utah state govern
ment consents to the building OF TWO
mile tunnel through which the water
would be conveyed.
1.-THE water" said Colonel Balcom,
would be drawn from the Grand river,
which, you can quote me as saying,
contains more water than all the rivers
combined on the western slope of the
Rocky mountains
Colonel Balcom has received aSSur-
ances that the state of Utah Will con-
slider the project very favorably. After
a brief stay here he will go to Salt
Lake City to confer with the state gov
eminent. He will discuss his plans
with Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
and Governor McAdams in a day or
two.
The Platte-Grand Canal company
has been incorporated to carry on the
ENTERPRISE.

over the hillside. The timberS and con-
tents lay about the place in confusion.
The foundation was not even left. Mr..
Aylsworth says there was a great fur
row across the island, and right in the
path were some % young willows, all
f1attened out so that now they form a
low Srchway. The large wharf, which
cost $4,000 only a few years ago, was
cut in two at the end of the pier and
the shore end remains.

SWAN AGROSS MENDOZA.
Rem arkable Aquatic Feat Accom-
plished by Madison Swimmer

Madison, Wis, Aug 12.-Geo. WHARF
of this city, 20 years of age, has just
performed a rather remarkable feat in
swimming Lake Mendoza, a distance of
six and one-half miles.
The trip was made in three hours and
one-quarter, which is considered fast
time also. The difficulty of the task
was enhanced by the water beingrather
cool and the last two miles being made
in a somewhat choppy sea. Mr.. WHARF
prepared for the ordeal by rubbing him.
self thoroughly with tallow. He was
accompanied by two men in a rowboat
and on finishing was still fresh. This
is the first time Lake Mendoza has been
breasted clear across, though many at
tempts to swim it have been made.

Why Hired Girls are Scarce.

Police Matron Thorpe says that the
reason there are so few servant girls to
be had this summer is because nearly
all the girls who work for a living are
waiting to get jobs in the new canning
factory just about to open. Speaking
of it she said: 80 many people come
to me to know about servant girls. U.s.
ually can recommend plenty of them.
But this summer it seems as if all of
them are either going to try to get jobs
in the canning factory or get work of
other kinds. I don't know what the
housekeepers will do. It is really get
ting to be a serious question. Often a
girl will want work in a factory when
she really don't make as much money
and has longer hours"

Yesterday the five ladies left their
homes at Grana to attend the Spring
Grove services of the Methodists They
almost daily receive messages from God
to carry to certain congregations the
information that their minister is lost
They had message to deliver similar
to this at the Spring Grove church.
The meeting was in progress when they
rushed in with a wild yell. Then in a
loud voice they cried to the minister
in a chorus:
ton; repent and come with US; all of
you are possessed of the DEVIL
Then the ladies began to dance
around the place, uttering yells and
shriekS, all the time throwing their
bodies around and adding to the weird
ness of the scene by swaying back and
forth.
Services were broken up and today
warrants were issued for the five ladies
They were tried by justice of the
peace in Omaha Then a wilder scene
was enacted. When asked if they were
guilty or not they screamed fin chorus:
Guilty in the eyes of man, but not
guilty in the eyes of God!''
Then adding as they began to dance
in a circle around the justice: God
told us to do it; we are his servants.
Hallelujahi"
The court was unable to restore Or
der, but as they wildly sang and dane
ed around he fined each SIS.
All went to Jail singing: ITO jail, to
jail, Glory to God; not a dollar for the
devil and his tribe
