RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
To the w. NJ, Wardens and Members
of Doric Lodge No All:

To the W. NJ, Wardens and Members
of Doric Lodge No. All:
We, your committee appointed on
the memorial of our deceased brother,
N. c. Hensley, report the following:
Brother Hensley, who had lived out
his three score and ten years, was
made Master Mason in Doric lodge
No. All in the year 1905, and served
as treasurer of the lodge faithfully
for three years and always had the
money on hand to meet every settle
ment. He had long been a member
of the Presbyterian church, but short
ly before his death he joined the M. E.
church, south, with his wife We feel
that We will greatly miss the brother
ly association and council of our
worthy and kind brother, who was al
ways at the post of duty, insuring in
his integrity and ever willing to aid
and be governed by the powers with
meekness which betokens a noble and
gentle character that had been fitted
and prepared for the builders use
for that house not made with hands
eternal in the heavens. To this we
submit with meekness and love to him
that doeth all things WELL but
we deeply and sincerely deplore the
less of our brother; therefore, be it
Resolved, That as Masons, we ten
der our sympathy and love to the be-
reft wife and children of our deceased
brother, and may they live and be
guided by the influence of that great
character who, after living to great
age, fell asleep in the arms of Jesus,
there to await the resurrection morn.
Be it therefore further
Resolved, That we as members of
Doric lodge resign Brother Hensley
to him that doeth all things wei! and
may we meet with our deceased broth
er in that eternal lodge above, where
the grand architect of the universe
will preside.
Resolved further, That a copy of
these resolutions be given to his wifi
and children and a copy be spread on
the secretary's books.

why he should be chosen. When you

the other fellows shortcomings or
about the applicants own ability?

IL Has A HINIUKY
Pawnee Rock Known by Early
Day Plainsmen
As Place Where Indians We're
Likely to Be Met.
STANDS NEAR TRAIL
Trees Set Out on Grounds and
Walks Made.
Beautiful Park Near Larned
Will Be Result.

Larned, Kan, Jan. 3.-Pawnee
Rock, the historical landmark of Santa
Fe tra3 fame, is located on the bound
airy line between Barton and Pawnee
counties, and about half mile north
of the village bearing its name. Sur
rounding it on every hand is a vast
acreage of wheat fields, where but yes
terday was primeval desolation.
Somewhat the worse for mans dep
relations, because of extensive stone
quarries that once existed there, it
presents an appearance slightly alter
ed from what it formerly did; but
stands still a distinct landmark ris-
ing from the bosom of the plains and
visible for miles around. On the
south and east sides a face of solid
sandstone rises twenty or thirty feet
from the steep slope that ascends from
the level plain, and on this are in
scribed the names of thousands who
have visited the celebrated relic.
On the north and west 1t slopes
gradually and merges into the sur
rounding plain.
Early Travellers Feared Spot.
It's stirring history though well
known to students of Kansas history,
is read and reread with ever recurring
interest. Situated as it is. only two or
three hundred yards north of the old
Santa Fe trail, it's history is insepara-
bly, linked with the story of that great
highway whose marks may still be
seen indentured in the upturned soil
of fertile farms. 1t was the great rem
devious of the PaWnee Indians, dur
ing their hunting expeditions, and
traders were wont to consider with
grave anxiety their approach to this,
the most dangerous point in their
whole journey, and as it faded out of
sight behind them against the gray
background of the prairie. they could
wen heave a sigh of relief.
1t was the scene of one of Kit Car
sons most desperate fights against the
Indians
A woman's historical club of the
state has recently taken steps to pre-
serve the place as it is today, and to
prevent it's destruction by greedy quar-
rymen, DESTROYS of securing the stone
for building PURPOSES. In conjunc-
ton with some enterprising peoplf
the town, they have purchased a deed
to it from the man whose farm it is
on, and have converted it into a pub
lie park Trees have been planted on
it, a windmill for watering them has
been constructed and a sidewalk has
been laid from the town, leading up to
it. Thus in a few years it will be a
beautiful spot, preserved for the vista
ton of future generations.

DYNAMITE USED IN JOKE.
Boys Threw Tt Against Strike Break

Parsons, Jan. S.-Ffve men arrested
under suspicion of having hurled a
stick of giant powder against the home
of J. F. Bunch. night car inspector for
the Katy, at Fourteenth and Wilson,
Friday night, have been released
Deputy County Attorney w. A. Disch
declares the powder was thrown either
by small boys as a joke or an attempt
to brighten the Bunches. There was no
cap on the dynamite and it might have
been hurled against the house for a
year without exploding. The stick of
powder came from the shed of a neigh
Dor D. Greene, a contractor, who is
digging a septic sewer. A large guam
tity of giant powder or low grade dy-
Mantle is stored in the shed which is
unlocked.
It was at first supposed to be an at
tempt to dynamite Bunch by striking
railroad shopnen. Bunch did not go
out when the Katy shopmen struck
September Is. But Deputy County At
torney Disch, after sweating all five
suspects thoroughly, dismissed them.
None were connected in any way with
a union or ever had been and there was
absolutely no motive. IF they had ad-
mitted their guilt they could not have
been prosecuted for more than disturb
ing the peace, Mr.. Disch says, the giant
powder being as harmless without
cap as stick of wood.
