This certainly gives to this piece of lodge

The ancient craftsman was employed

1t cannot be denied that there are
many men who become Masons, actuated
not by love of their fellow man nor q
desire to promote the cause of Freema.
sonry. but rather from selfish motives.
The recurrence of every St Johns day
invites all Freemasons to gauge their
practice by their professions in order to
determine whether their minds are loyal
to truth and their hearts to love.
In Pennsylvania there are 429 lodges,
with a total membership of $4,000 and
121 chapters, with 1880 Royal Arch

Speculative Masonry encourages prog
ress and stimulates to excellence in all
that tends TO the dignity, usefulness and
happiness of mankind.
A badly taught entered apprentice, one
who does not appreciate the step he has
taken, will hardly make a good fellow
craft or intelligent master Mason. There
is, therefore. no place in all the work of
the lodge where more careful work
should be done than in the first degree.
The more differences there are between
the usages and customs of the Freema-
sons and the profane the better it is for
Freemasons.-Keysto

THE DEATH CT SIMKO.
Hanging at Murray City Was a
Mystery.
ACCUSED MEN WERE DISCHARGED.
Tbs LEnnng Brothers Were Given Pre-
liminsry Trial and Then Acquitted.
Boys Had Been Boisting Themselves
In Fun In the Barn.

EELsoNvIILE, Aug. 21.-Geo. Simko,
the boy 13 years of age, who was found
dead upon che floor of the barn at the
family residence at Murray City, was
evidently hanged. Rube Lanning and
Mail Lanning, two brothers, were ar
rested upon suspicion of having COM
mitted the crime. They were the last
persons seen near the barn, and had
called upon the boys stepfather at his
saloon and asked permission to go
through the lot, which was granted.
After the dead body of the boy was
discovered they were Immediately sus-
pected and and officers followed them
to their homes at New Pittsburg and
arrested them. The prosecuting attor-
ney was notified and the accused were
given preliminary trial, and after the
examination OF several witnesses they
were acquitted.
1t is possible that some of the boys
hoisted young Simko up with the rope
tied around his neck, and in their eX-
element jerked up harder than they
intended and broke his neck.
However, against this theory is the
fact that the rope to which he was tied
was fastened to the beam of the barn,
q part of which was still tied to the
rafters.
During the examination the testimony
developed the fact that children were in
the habit of making a playhouse out of
the barn i'll which the boy was hanged,
and that there was u pulley in the roof
of the building used for hoisting hay.
The boys Were in the habit of putting
rope through this pulley and boisting
themselves up and down.
The discharge of the men arrested
upon suspicion of committing the crime
leaves the matter involved i'll as deep a
mystery as ever.
