Wardens and Brethren of Evening
Shade Lodge No. 143 F. and A.
Masons, Brethren:
The undersigned committee ap-
pointed to express for the mem
bers Of this Lodge, our sorrow
for the loss and TO offer a sincere
tribute to the virtues and memory
of our deceased Brother Captain
John M. Wasson, fraternally re-
port That
Brother Wasson departed this
life at his residence in Evening
Shade, March 5, 1904. Fer months
he was confined to his room with
rheumatism and died with pneu-
monia, in the seventeen year of
his age, leaving surviving him a
devoted wife, five daughters
and two sons. He was born near
Smithville, but removed co Eve
ming Shade where he lived, for
more than fifty years. He served
throughout the civil war, espous-
ing the Southern cause, and was
given command Of a company,
lie served as clerk of the circuit
court Of Sharp county for two
terms. He was a consistent
member of the Christian church,
and was made a Mason in this
Lodge forty-four years ago. He
was the pride and admiration OF
his comrades, friends and .breth-
rem. He was devoted husband,
kind and indulgent father. AS
soldier, he was at his post of
duty and danger through heat
and cold, rain and sunshine, in
camp and on battlefield, in ad-
vance and retreat, in victory and
defeat. Through his career of
public service, his reputation for
integrity was never doubted, and
he never neglected an official
duty,
He had kaown for months that
death was upon him. He ac-
cepted it serenely and without a
murmur. He looked steadily in
the face of the King Of terrors,
and his own stout heart which
had sustained him through life
sustained him in death. Calmly,
sileatly and heroically he awaited
the inevitable hour. His con-
quering spirit, his iron will, his
brave, true and generous heart
will be with us no more amid the
scenes OF this mortal life, In the
soil of his beloved state, his
ashes have been laid to rest, and
sorrows tears will keep green
his grave, while love and honor
will sentinel the hall0weG spot
whers he sleeps his last, long
sleep. is we'll.
"And if through patient toll,
we reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals
loose, may rest,
Where we shall clearly see and
understand,
think that we will say, God
knows the best"
Be it resolved by this Lodge
that in the death of Captain
John M, Was8on the fraternity
mas lost a true brother, the state
an upright citizen and humanity
a loyal defender.
That We tender the stricken |
wife and children our heartfelt
sympathy, and assure them that
their loss is ours.
That a copy Of the memorial
and resolutions be engrossed
and presented to the wife, with
an earnest expression Of our
sorrow.

REPUBLICAN
RALLY AT
NEWPORT

The Rhode Island Republican leaders in
the course OF their ceaseless wanderings
up. down and across the state, in search
of impressionable ballot casters hit upon
Newport as the seat of their operation
last evening.
A rally had been arranged for To take
place In the Newport opera House and
so seductive had been the methods OF the
resident enthusiasts that every seat from
gallery TO cellar In the theatre was taken
long before the speechmaking commenced
Senator George Peabody Wetmore pre-
sided at the meeting and introduced dur
ing the evening the following gentlemen,
familiar and we'll liked figures on
Rhode Islands campaign field Lieut..
District Attorney Charles A. Wilson.
Gen. Wilson was first introduced and
discoursed volubly on the interesting
theme. "Why am a Republican" Here
are few OF the speakers reasons:
II was born on the hills of Maine and
my first knowledge OF political affairs
impression OF parties induced me to join
the Republicans. / learned through the
war that the constitution had been pre-
served through the efforts OF the Repub-
licans. There was no reason why any
man should remain a Democrat; there
was nothing in 1t, and the party may do
some damage. Grant had been Demo-
erat, so had iS9s Logan s,itn and Sherman but
Sound money was a Republican idea.
The matter Of how the debt resulting
from the Civil war should be paid was
a great issue, whether the bonds should
be paid in paper money or gold. The
Republicans arrayed themselves on the
side OF honest money, keeping the con-
tract as IL was written. Everybody
knows how the party redeemed its
pledges Later the Republicans deter
mined that the gold standard should be
adopted for all time" -
He spoke humorously OF Gov. Garvin,
who he said, never had any business to
be Governor. He was out an automibile
which broke down every day. The
loaded He had the initiative and ref
erendum with him. He was also loaded
down with single tax again, so IL Is no
wonder the automobile would not go He
charged that the Governor represented
everything untenable that could be
thought OF and said that Mr.. Utter would
greatly adorn the office. that he is man
born of the people.
After the applause incident 10 the con-
clusion of Gen. Wilson's remarks had
duced and addressed himself TO the
younger eliment in the audience.
One OF the most helpful passages In Mr..
Utter's address was the following:
did you ever think what the RESPONSE
biity OF the ballot is? IL is an import
ant matter to know when you start with
what party you should ally yourself.
The young man who closes his eyes
does great damage not only to himself,
but to the whole body politically. III any
man tells you that by Joining his party
YOU can go on without much effort In the
way Of work. keep In mind that we can
get along only by the sweat or our brows.
No party, like no person, can be perfect.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Utter's re-
marks the rally adjourned.
