Oldest in the world and it's original
purpose was still the keynote and aim
today, having survived through eight
and one-half centuries. The order
provided a higher standard of man
hood and inculcated practical Chris
tion truth. Welding all creeds together
in "a common brotherhood.
THE REASON WHY.
Because this fact was recognized is
why Maltas are strong here. And so,
when the Knight of Malta who had
been faithful to his trust, came to his
final reward he could answer that he
had been true, brotherly, and Chris
tian.
The Tourney was concluded with q
selection by the band and duartette,
and finally tho singing of 'Blest BE the
Tie That Binds" by he audience, with
band accompaniment.
1t is fully expected that the business

behalf of the grand commandery He
was literally applauded and in part
said:
"In responding to your honored may
or's welcome to your beautiful city,
feel that I cannot do Justice to my
self or to the commanderv. How
ever, his remarks prove that the order
is indeed welcome, as we have been
made to feel already by the generous
attitude Of the citizens and the ar
rangements by the committee here
Also that the order has a history is
proved by the mayor, who seems to
have acquainted himself with the fact.
We of the order believe in it and are
not ashamed.
THAT we are welcome is evidenced
by the splendid decorations here and
on the buildings in your city. 1 am
taken with the city, though / have
only seen a small portion, but its pro-
gressiveness and apparent prosperity
places it second TO none of the cities

most kindly remembrances and in be-
half of myself and the officers and
representatives of the grand com
manery,I most heartily appreciate your
almost royal welcome"

Investigation and deep study, it was dis
covered that he had seen service upon
the Isle of Malta. He had continuous
fever with occasional attacks of a more
rare nature. 1t was said that under the
most scientific and persistent treatment

Death of A. II. Hnvck.

Early Wednesday morning, when the
boys in the measure factory were going
to work, they discovered the dead body
of our respected townsman, A. IL. Huyck,
cashier of the Decatur bank, lying on
the ground near the factory warehouse
three rods from the George street side
walk.
He took supper with mis- family as us
ual Tuesday evening and started for
town with the intention of going to see
Frank Byers, president of the bank, who
is sick with typhoid fever at his home in
Keller township. His family knowing
Of his expected visit, were not alarmed
at his not returning.
He was seldom absent from his work
on account of sickness and never com
planned, but his physician says that he
was troubled with heart disease which
was liable at any time to take him away
without warning.
The natural supposition is that he was
suddenly afflicted while coming to town
and had made an effort to reach the
homo of r. III. Place near by, where he
could obtain assistance.
A coroners jury was impanelled, who
rendered a verdict in accordance with
the evidence, that death was caused by
heart failure News Of the death spread
rapidly through the Village and deer
sorrow was everywi, ere manifested. The
-aags of the unio1 school and of the
GSand by yeAfaps were foated hal
MrNykk was universal favorite o.
Decatur. He had for years been init
mately associated with her public bust
ness and interests, always with tina
knowledge of affairs and sound iudg
ment that makes a man invaluable t
his communicable Republican.
The funeral was held Sunday. Mr.
Huyck was well known throughout thu
county and universally respected. Tn

respect ohis memory.

were expressed on this subject and the
idea seemed to prevail that if Paw Paw

would insure the retention of the "seat"

people, and some of these live at South
