grand jury gave the wheel another turn

county. charging the offense to have
been committed in the making Of false
statements in the listing OF their prop

time it was fe Jared that congestion

symptoms were better Wednesday
morning and the doctors think the
trouble has been arrested. The young
man has been troubled with severe
headaches for number of weeks bu
nothing of a serious character wal
anticipated. be has had much worry
since the start of his building on &C
count of accidents to workingmen anC
the caving in of walls, and it is though
that this tended to aggravate thu

is no need for alarm in the case anC
that the young man will be out again

WHEREAS, the silver cord is loos-

the spirit of our worthy and well be-
loved brother, l.. d. Wright. has been
called by the Supreme Grand Master,
the Creator and Preserver of the Uni ;

Reso'red, First-That we realize
that in the death of Brother Wright
we lose one Of our most true and no

ready to administer at the bedside of
affliction, to gently smooth the hot
pillow upon which rested the feverish
cheek and throbbipg head of pain and
sickness, and to pour the oil of COM
fort into the expiring lamp of life, al
ways true to the obligations of his
beloved order, and whose hand was
always open to brother Odd Fellow
with fraternal greeting in Friend
ship, Love and Truth.
Second, That in our lodge room
Bro. Wright will be sadly missed in
that he was safe counsel and always
took an active part in our local legis-
lation. OF him it can truly be said,
he did what he could for the anchor
aIlO0 OF DIS race.
Third, That we as Odd Fellows, as
we bow in humble submission to the
will of our Supreme Ruler Who knows
all things best, may emulate his vir-
tues, be true to our obligations and
be prepared to meet him in that Grand
Lodge where the links of friendship
are not broken by the hand of death.
Fourth, That copy of these reso-
lutions be spread upon the minutes
of this lodge and that they be pub
lished and that copy be furnished

and that our charter be draped in
mourning for the period of thirty days.

Shs Old Mem.

A communication published in the
Chicago Inter Ocean the other morn
ing commented In rather q sad vein
on the alleged fact that young men
are driving old men to the rear. and
that the nan who has passed IS now
stands but little chance in the battle
Of life. II is true that the stores and
ofices, the warehouses and the factor
les are now filled with young men. It
is also true that in the active affairs
Of life young men are IN the majority.
It is even true that many firms and
corporations are now disinclined to
take into their service mea who have
passed the 35-year mark-if they are
without experience in the line Of bus
iness they are trying to enter. But It
is not true that the chances of the man
Of 36. As, 56. or even 66 are any poorer
today than they ever were. or that.
everything being equal. they are any
poorer than those Of the man under
a6. This is young mans country In
the sense that 1t ia a country Of youth
full spirits. youthful ideas, and youth
full energies. The young American
has better prospect before him than
any other young man on the globe.
But this would not be true II 1t were
fact that his prospects were likely
to be cut short at 36. There are old
young men and young old men. There
are men who have seen their best
days before they reach 25 and there
are men who do not begin to enter
upon their best days until they have
passed 40. No employer. individual.
firm. or corporation. is discharging its
employees on account OF their age or
re,aining them on account of their
youth, but all employers measure the
value Of employees by their capacity
for doing the work assigned to them.
