The purpose of education IS to
stimulate the growth of moral

it is necessary TO disregard some

DR.. S. o. N. BYRD.

The news reached this place
early Tuesday morning that Dr.
SD. NJ. Byrd, Of Scranton, was
dead. He d,ed Monday evening
about S O'Clock very suddenly. He
was in his office at the time OF his
death with one of his sons tra"S-
acting business, and without pre-
monition and not a word OF COM
plant. he tell frnm his chair and
expired. The people of the CON
munlty heard OF his death With
the greatest sorrow, for ne had
lived and lSbored among them
t4he greater part of his lie,
:always ready and willing to 90
this part OF anything that pertained
to their health, prosperity and
thapplness. No man was ever more
:ready 10 devote bis time and means
10 the welfare of his fellow clll-
:zens than the eminent physician
and good nelghbor whose death is
so deeply deplored.
DIR. Byrd had lived out the al
dotted time to man, and his lite
was not one which had tailed TO
make its impress during the Pc
riod in which he moved and acted.
When very young we find him a
soldier IN far of Kansas among
those from his native State who

the South when the squatter sore-
reiguty excitement was so prom

day. After his return IN 1856 or
81 he located at Graham's Cross
Roads-now Lake City-tor the
Drac,ice of medicine. His profess
sional success was rapid and emi-
nently satisfactory. He became
so well known and so popular IN
the county-then district that
he was induced 10 enter politics,
and was elected to the legislature

faithfully and well; and when the
war between the States came On
he was a brave and gallant officer
in that struggle from beginning
to end. He never shirked, and
always walked in the paths that
he conceived to be the paths OF
duty. He rose during the war
from the ranks to the office of ma
jor. After the war was over he re-
sumsd his place as physician
and citizen and remained true and
steadfast to the principles for
which he fought. When the re-
construction measures were being
enforced on the South, and their

PROHIBITION MEETING.
Rev. w. w. CriIey the Principal
SpeBker-Others Heard.

The Prohibition Hall on East New York
street was well filled last night the oc-
casion being the semi-monthly meeting
of the league. The Rev. w w Criley, of
the First English Lutheran Church, was
the principal speaker and in plain language
ne told why he was a Prohibitionist
The reason why l vote the Prohibition
ticket" said the Rev. Criley, lis that the
party stands for the greatest interest of
the country. In my opinion James G.
Blaine was defeated for the presidency in
1884 because he stayed away from the polls
and did not vote to make the Maine liquor
law a constitutional matter. If he had
voted to make the law constitutional and
had not been under the dictatiOn of party
leaders he would have been elected Pres
ident. He did not get my vote"
Mrs. Cammack Gibson, of Jonesboro,
state organizer of the w. G. T. L., spoke
Of the increased interest in prohibition she
had noticed throughout the State and the
work that is being done by the w. G. II. L.
to eradicate the liquor traffic and increase
the interest in Prohibition legislation. Mrs.
Matte Brand, state secretary of the w. g.
T. L., also spoke concerning the work in
Indiana.

1T MAY BE SIGNIFICANT
COMMUNITY OF INTERESTS WANTS
CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN.
Possible Consolidation of the Pcre
Marquette. Toledo ~ Ohio Cen
trail and Hooking valley.

Indications are that strong financial in
terests will secure control of the Chicago
Great Western 1t should be borne in mind,
when reading such rumors. that three
times before a deal has neared its close
when President Stickney discovered the
property was worth more than it had been
proposed to sell it for. and pushed the price
up about 81 100000. If he now sells he will
receive 100000 more than had he sold two
years ago. Great significance attaches to
the trip that Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., and
w. A. Reid. of a New York banking firm
made last week over this independent rail-
road. and as the same party is making
trip over the Chicago, Rock Island q
Pacific, this is causing considerable specu-
lation as to the future of the Rock Island.
The Minneapolis Journal says: The Great
Western has long been thorn in the hesn
of the Mnneapolis-Chicago lines. With
terminals in Chicago, Minneapolis, St Paul.
Kansas City, Sioux City and Omaha, and
strategically located with reference to all
Of it's competitors, the road enjoys unique
position in the Northwestern railroad world.
1t runs through rich sections of country
which originates much business and Is by
no means a long line between any OF the
points named. It's location and excellent
facilities have enabled its management to
steer clear of entangling alliances with
other lines. In both passenger and freight
matters the road usually maintained an at
titude of independence, even while agreeing
to keep the faith regarding certain traffics.
But neither freight nor passenger assocla-
tions have ever been quite strong enough
to compel the Great Western TO bow the
knee in conformity to the plans laid by It's
competitors.
THE road has always been able to cause
any amount of rate trouble. and 1t is for
this rea son that the community of owner
ship syndicateS want to see 1t absorbed IN
some way and its individuality oblterated.
Mr. Stickney denied that the road was for
sale last summer when rumors were rife
affecting the sale of the property.
Certainly no community OF interest
scheme, designed TO hold freight rates
stable, will be effectual while Chicago
Great Western remains free lance in the
field from Chicago to s.. Paul and Kansas
City. It's power dlsturber is too great
to be overlooked, and while 1T might not
trouble the larger systems, II would be a
constant menace That it will be absorbed
there is little doubt, But when, how, and
by whom, are still unknown.
