N. ". 4. MEMORIAL
Rev. Stockland Delivers
an Appropriate
Sermon -

Sunday evening st O'Clock, the To-
cal Woodmen and Royal Neigh oors,
about 100 strong, marched in = body
to the NJ. E. church.
Rev. stockland reminded the listen
ers that this was the memorial day for
dece ased members of the Camps, and
the members nxd come to hear words
of comfort and listen to words Of
praise Of the deceased who were in
spirit. he pointed ont how the
churches had made ! it possible for the
fraternal orders to EXIT. In glowing
words the case Of Nelghbor shiesler
was described. NJ Shiseler was
scalded bv the exrleeicn of . hot wat
or tank, and WAS restored to health
and life by the sacrifice of members
of M. W. A. and r. n. A. orders. It
had taken 5, 800 gratis Of skin Of mem.
bers of these orders; grated on shiss-
ier's body to cover three square feet of
flesh, to which 120 Royal Neighbors
had contributed their share. Besides,
a collection of 1911 was made for
the unfortunate by the order at large.
Such scts showsd' a true fraternal
spirit. =
A decoration committee had de-
posted wresths on the different
graves of deceased neighbors. which
kind act showed how dearly the de-
ceased are held in memory.
The members were warned to not
let their insurance lapse. The insur-
ance was generally enough to carry
the loved ones over the most critical
period, and to keep the family to.
gether and give the little ones q
chance to be educated.
In 1904 about 81, 500, 900 were dis.
tributed among ..the benehciaries of
the orders of the Woodmen and the
Royal Neighbors, which now have q
membership of 900. 600. The members .
were cautioned to ha1bor no i'll feeling
toward each other, but to, remember
their individual feeling.
The choir rendered several selections
most beautifully. All in all the sd.
dress was we'll received and consid-
cred one Of the best ever heard.

Mayor Tom L. Johnson tonight told
of rapid transit in the future, as he
believed 1t would be, to members of

trip from Chicago to New York over
sort of toboggan slide electric road in

1t has long been an open secret that
Johnson has been ambitious to perfect
a device for annihilating time in rapid
transit For several years he has been
working on the hobby along strictly
original lines, until at last he has
! reached point in his plans where he
ventures to hint as to the method of
! the invention.

ern life. For instance, do you think
we will be satisfied with twenty-hour
/ schedule between New York and Chi
cago? By no means. Although wheels
and tracks will not allow a speed of
more than 200 miles an hour, 1 believe
that many of You in this room will
see the time when two hours and bet
ter between the two cities will be COM
monplace. That will be less than half
! the speed of a cannonbail 1t can and
will be done much quicker than you
| think
II we can control electricity and
make it do the work along straight
line that 1t does now in a circle when
used in what is known as motor we
will have the problem solved And it
| is far easier than we have heretofore
thought. Then people would be shot
across the continent in a sort of shut
fle on slide rails, something like a
toboggan slide drawn by magnets. 1t
