Resolutions of Resnect.


Avery, Nov 17--At the regular
monthly meeting of Kiowana council
No. 81, Degree of Pocahontas, at Av-
cry, the following resolutions of condo.
lence were adopted:
Whereas, By the will of the Great
Spirit, the hand of the Almighty has
claimed one of our number, our be
loved sister, Mrs. Lulu Bridges, and as
the sun goes down in the great waters
of the west, SO did Sister Bridges
leave the shores of this life in the
stone canoe with the spirit of death
as her guide. And, as the sun rises on
the morrow, so may she awaken to
life to find that she has reached the
Islands of Bliss that the Great Spirit
has planned for those whose deeds
have made light the burdens of their
canoe. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we extend to the be.
reaved family our heartfelt sympathy
in their sad hour. and be it further
Resolved, That our charter be drap-
ed in mourning for period of thirty
days and that special page in our
records be set apart and dedicated to
her memory. Also that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the family of the
deceased and to the press at Ottumwa
for publication.

"REsIGN7 NO." SAYS PLATT.
New York Senator Denies Story That
He viii Give Up His Tooa.

New York, Nov. -Coincident with
the publication Of the latest stories
concerning the separation of Senator
Platt and his wife has come the usual
rumor that the aged senator is about
to resign his seat in the senate and
retire altogether from public life One
rumor that got into print yesterday
had it taat the senator had reached
this decision himself, and that Cover
Higgins would have an ad interim ap-
pointment to make.
Senator Plat was at his Office as
usual yesterday, but was inaccessible
to interviewers. When the story re.
garding his resignation was sent in to
him this reply came back:
Senator Platt has no intention Of re-
signing. He intends to fill out his full
term
One of Senator Platts closest politi
cal friends said the senator has never
mentioned resigning. In fact, those
who know Senator Plat and his traits
have no idea he will resign.
ANY one who knows Senator Plat
and knows how tenacious he is" said
one of these friends, knows those
stories will have no effect upon him.

ported will of the late Father Thomas
Mackin not his will, yesterday de-
clared he had been intimidated and

ing The contestants. He complained
to Judge Gest in the circuit court and
sought the states attorney and coun-

by the court for not reporting any in

in court, but claimed he did not know
what his rights were.
The verdict rendered void the will

large share went to Mrs. Charles A.

niece. Other chief beneficiaries were
his nieces, Mrs. T. H. Dolly and Mrs.
Grace Mackin of Rock Island.

NO LONGER KNOWN

REPORT AT kEoKuK THAT RU-
NOR OF CHANGE TO GREAT

Will be Made Part Of Great Northern
System In Name as Well as In
Observation-Disclosures is Partially
Accidental.

Keokuk Nov 17-That the name
of :he Burlington lnute Will be chang
ed to tire Great Northern route on
January and the present venerable
and beloved cognomen wiped out of
existence by paint and printrs' ink,
became a certainty by disclosures
made here by high railroad official.
The orders for the actual change Of
name are in the hands Of those whose
duty 1T is to carry them out, and read
that they issue, "by desire of the
president" which means that James
J. Hill is true to his old friends and
the road that first made him famous
and moreover has more sentiment in
his makeup than is commonly i'm
puted to a captain of Industry.
The word Burlington will be oblit-
Grated from every engine, coach, car.
port blank, shipping tag and fishplate,
and In its place will be the words
Great Northern.
Master mechanics have been order
ed to prepare to do a lightning change
act, and to get every possible car re-
lettered by quitting time on New
Years day. The new supply Of print
ing matter will be all ready for use
on the first morning Of 1907. 1t IS
recognized in the orders that it will
take a short time to reletter the equip.
ment, but underof1cers of the road
are urged to complete the change at
the earliest possible moment.
Rumors of this change Of name have
bee nying lately, but could not be
certified hitherto The officers of the
road in Chicago refused to discuss
them. The verifcatioa of the news
here was partly accidental, but was
complete.

The Atoms action, which is in con.
