 On the evening of March 2, 1899, lit tie Harold Donaldson passed from earth to the unseen spirit realm, lcav- ing and aching void in the hearts of loving parents and many friends, as he had in their brief residence in this city, endeared himself to all. He was bright and sunny in his disposition and from their door he would "howdy'' across the street to the peighbors, and his positive disposition took him each day to the Rust home to see Grand ma and Aunt Lula" In his moral tillage God cultivates many flowers, seemingly only for their exquisite beauty and fragrance for when bathed Tn soft sunshine and have burst into blossom, the Divine Hand gathers them from the earth to be kept in chrystal vases in blessed mansions above.

the melancholy croakers huddled on the

BOARD OF TRADE GOVERNORS.
Elevated Track Question Taken Up at
Their Meeting.

At a meeting of the board of governors
of the Board Of Trade last night Chairman
F. b. Martindale was instructed to appoint
q committee of seven, with himself as chair
man. to look into the movement for ele-
waited railroad tracks and report as TO its
seeming Feasibility so that the board might
take one side or another in the matter
The motion that brought this action about
was opposed at first by several OF the gov
errors, who said the movement seemed to
be the property of the Commercial Club,
and 1t would not be advisable to infringe
on the Commercial Clubs patent.
Personally" said Mr.. Martindale. II am
opposed to the movement, but the mayor
has appointed a committee in the matter
and he has the authority of the law, and
think the Board Of Trade should take a
stand one way or the other"
One member of the board said the move
ment seemed to be principally to get votes
from the South Side. Another member said
he expected to be long dead before the
railroad tracks were elevated. But motion
TO appoint a committee carried and Mr.:
Martindale will name the other members of
the committee in a few days.
Rev. c. c. Lasby was before the board in
v ne Wbc6 OF viii the be- hed here IN july
Mr.. Lasby said the financial committee was
only meeting with fair success that many
of the most prominent merchants of the
city fatty refused to contribute to the en-
tertainment fund They had spent too much
money in conventions already, they said.
Mr.. Lasby reviewed the prospects for the
convention, saying there would be fifty
thousand delegates in attendance. Accord
ing 10 his request Chairman Martindale was
instructed to appoint committee of five to
work with the financial committee of the
local Epworth League. 1t was explained
that the Board of Trade as an organization
had no funds to contribute. The committee
will be announced in a few days.
