mite wisdom, removed from among us
our worthy and esteemed co-worker,
Mrs. Tillie Ames, and

duties in Zion Baptist Sunday School
it is eminently befitting that we record
our appreciation of her services;
Resolved, That the aid given this
Sunday school by counsel, contribution
and service, will be held in grateful
remembrance.

of such a friend from our midst leaves
vacancy that will be deeply realized

lutions be spread upon the record of

The angel messenger of death
Has gently borne away
dear companion from our side,
To realms of endless day.
Her voice no longer will join with ours
The song of praise below,
1t wakes a purer. sweeter strain
Where only pleasures flow.
When gathered on the Sabbath morn,
Her vacant place we view,
Well think how bright the world she
treads,
And in her steps pursue.
Be still, let every heart be STILL
And all our sorrow quell,
Well bow submission to His will,
Who doeth all things we'll

BY the brave men of the Knights,
May they not forget him, never,
For his deeds We're always right.

The Peoples Sunday Alliance met at
since the Alliance has been meeting
has their been such unrestrained fervor
and enthusiasm for the welfare and
prosperity of the public forum. Many
people when they heard that the ALI
ance needed their help willingly uolun-
teered and offered their ,sistance, in
order to assist the Alliance in securing
that hall. The program was exception
ally fine and the paper read by A. e..
Fallings, "A hat shall We do to be
saved" produced great amount of in
telligent discussion. Next Sunday will
be a record breaker. Come early and

THE SALOON QUESTION.

Tuesday, May 10Th, is the day that
have before them a very important
question. 1t is one that should not be
overlooked. 1t cannot be denied that a
large number of voters have no special
grievance against the well regulated
saloons and in order that no injustice
is done to those who are engaged in
the liquor business, they should vote
against the anti-saloon proposition.
This question will be found at the
very bottom of the official ballot. Let
10 legal voter neglect this question, as
it has far reaching influence not only
in Denver, but in the entire state. One
cannot be consistent who asks for fair
play from others, and is not willing to
accord another the same treatment
Cards are out in which all necessary
instructions are given as to how the
ballot should be marked. AS a last
Test of the liberal forces is about to
be made. 1t is hoped that all who be-
lieve in justice will see to it that their
ballot follows their convictions, which
one is forced to believe would in JUS
tice to themselves and to the COM
munity in which they live prevent
them form voting for any measure that
would mean destruction of business,
an increase in taxation and the throw
ing out of employment hundreds of
wage earners. AS last appeal to the
masses just before the battle see to it
that where this sentence appears, to
wit, Shall this ward, precinct (or pre-
cincts) become anti-saloon territory
VOTE NO.

Coincidence.

Whereas, 1t has pleased the AL
mighty God to remove from our midst
our president, Sister Tillie Ames, of
the Junior Missionary branch;
Whereas, We, her sisters and CO.
workers, feel deeply grieved, yet we
know that God doeth all things for the
best.
Our president was good and faith
full officers when her health would per-
init, always ready to perform her duty
when called upon. She was loved and
esteemed by all who knew her. We,
the members of the Junior Missionary
Band deem it proper that we should
place on record our appreciation of her
services as our president.
Resolved, That in the death of Sister
Ames the Junior has lost on honest
and upright officer; she has passed
away TO better land.
Resolved, That the members of the
Junior of Zion Baptist church tender
our healtfelt sympathy to the family
and friends.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the family and
entered in our local papers and spread
upon the minutes of our Junior Band
Yes, our President has gone, but not
forgotten;
Never shall her memory fade;
Sweet thoughts shall ever linger
around the grave
Where she is laid.
In silence she suffered,
In patience she bore,
Till God called her home to suffer no
more.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 25.--By spe-
ciaf permission of the interstate COM
merce commission, the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois Railroad Co., for it.
self and for the Rock Island and
Frisco lines. will file with the COM
mission in a few days one of the most
remarkable freight tariffs ever con-
structed by an interstate carrier. The
proposed tariff Will be complication
of local, joint and prOportionate
rates on lumber and lumber products
in carloads from various points in
the middle west and south to other
points in the middle west and the
east and Canada.
lFor some time the interstate COM
merce commission has held its ex-
perts engaged in examining the
proofs of the tariff. and the commits
sion has directed that the tariff shall
contain the following notes:
AS an assistance in reaching more
simplicity and cearness in tariff con-
struction and contemplating eventual

Contained In the tariff is another
note by the Chicago a. Eastern ILL.,
nois as follows.
In the publication OF this tariff.
1t Is the desire of these companies to
place in the hands of their shippers
and connections clear aud complete
information as to the lumber rates,
not only from the gateways from
which these companies operate, but
in a special section to provide rates

NOADVANCE IN
TARIFF
NORTHERN WILL DELIVER
GOODS FROM SAN FRANCISCO
AND SALT LAKE AT OLD RATE
EASTERN INCREAsE

While freight rates advance most
every place else on the FIRST of the
year. there will be no advance in
tariffs between this city aud Salt
Lake and between this city and San
Francisco. according to statement
made yesterday by C. j. Rennie,
chief clerk in the freight department
of the Nevada Northern
Mr.. Rennie said that while rates
were being increased on the first Of
the year TO all terminal points. the
activities of the Northern had put
them outside the range of immediate
effect so far as freight traffic with
the principal trade eenters of the dis
irict might be concerned.
Mr.. Rennie further stated that ne
gotiations were pending whereby the
Ely merchant might still furIner ben
eft. these negotiations having to do
with the establishment of a terminal
rate effective between Reno and Co
bre for eastern Nevada. Such ar
which is still in the dis
tance. would be very valuable in low
ering the rate ON west bound pur-
ehasos of Ely merchants and It is
hoped that some definite word will
be received at no distant date con-
firming the expectations which are
held here.
Transeontinental freight rates, be-
January next year, will be
advanced on all east bound traffic,
both by rail and by water. The class
rates on west bound traffic will re-
main as they are now
The commodity rate on west bound
traffic from Atlantic seaboard points
to Pacific coast terminals will be in
creased approximately 0 per cent
On east bound class rates there will
be decrease on first class shipments
from S3.70 per hundred pounds to
81 per hundred. On class rates in
Chicago and central traffic assoela-
ton territory from the Pacific coast
terminals there will he decrease on
first class shipments from $40 per
hundred pounds TO 81 per hundred
This Will equalize the class rates on
both east and west bound traffic.
