To the Master, Wardens and Breth-

F. and A. M, Chatfeld, Mimi,
your Committee begs leave to offer
the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, In the death of John
Barnard we mourn the loss of a
worthy brother, one who was es-
teemed and loved for his excellent
qualities of head and heart, not only
by his Masonic brethren, but by all
who enjoyed the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance.
It is sad to realize that our friend
and brother while in the prime of
life and in the midst of his useful.
ness, should be taken from amongst
US. But it is the will of God and
He doeth all things we'll,
Let us believe that in the silence
of the recedlng world his dying eyes
read mystic meaning which only
the wrapt and parting soul may
know, and he felt already on his
wasted brow the breath of eternal
morning.
To his bereaved widow and faith
erless children we extend our heart
felt sympathy and pray that kind
ly providence may comfort and
sustain them in this their hour of
deep affection.
RESOLVED, That these resolu-
tons be spread on the minutes of
our lodge, and copies be sent to the
family of the deceased and to the
lodge of which he was member.

tions from those who know him
and his work:
FROM HIS PRESENT POSITION.
BOYD, WIS, Jan. a. 1905.
This is to certify that G. w. Weldon, who
was elected as principal of the Boyd graded
school in 1903 is one of the most efficient and
conscientious teachers that we have ever had.
Under his management the Boyd school was
made a four-year high school last September,
under very unfavorable circumstances. Tween
ty-nine out of thirty pupils who took the
high school examinations were successful.
This year, with Mr.. Weldon as principal and
Miss Elva Rounsevell as assistant, we have one
of the best schools of it's kind in the state.
Mr.. Weldon is an upright, honest citizen, an
active church worker. leader among the
young people, and one who is ever on the side
of right and justice.

DENIES STORY
MAJOR MILLER DECLARES FITz-
SIMMONS is WRONG IN
CHARGES

Franklin, Pa, Dec 25.-Major Chas.
Joseph Sibley Miller, who was report
ed to have eloped with Mrs. Robert
Fitzsimmons, nee Julia May Clifford,
arrived here from New York city Sun
day, accompanied by the Marquis de
Terre Harmoso of Madrid When a
reporter called at Miller park, the
home Of Major Miller, Attorney Will
liam H. Ford had been called into
consultation. Major Miller, though
appearing to be brave, is fearful that
the Jealous prize fighter, Bob Fitzsim-
mons, will attack him.
1t was Fitzsimmons who first gave
out the story that Major Miller had
eloped with his wife. Working on this
clew, the Franklin correspondent of a
local newspaper was ordered to inves-
tigate the report that Major Miller
had quit his home with the actress.
From the absence of Major Miller at
his home and because his family had
not heard from him during the day,
the reporter jumped at the conclusion
that the story was correct. 1t has
been no secret here that Major Miller
and Julia May Clifford were friends.
and it was reported that they had been
corresponding with each other. This
could not be verified.
