Estelle was out, the man said,

John Hewlett paced the room

was the softly modulated one of

A DESERVED TRIBUTE TO
A NOBLE CHRISTIAN

At tse Christian church on Sun
day morning, was held a service
beautifully touching in its every as
pect. Rev. Jos, A. Ballou on the 10Th
anniversary of his birth, in the
church built during his pastorate,
preached to the people who have
known and loved him many years.
The church was filled not only with
its accustomed congregation, but
with people from every church IN the
town. 1t was the Christian people
Of the whole community regardless
of church affiliation, come to show
their love, their honor and respect
for a true, brave, loyal man of God;
for a useful citizen. who has never
shirked a responsibility of citizenship,
for a neighbor whose crib and whose
larder have always stood open to the
worthy poor; for Cody man whose
prayers have helped to lift the fall

With the courage of his convictions.
whether as a soldier upon the field
of battle, a preacher in the pupit, or
a citizen in the private walks of life.
Jos. A. Ballou has lived in this
community a life of unselfish use
fitness for many years, and in all
these years, no man has ever doubt
ed how he stood upon any question
of common veal or of public impor-
lance. No man who has ever lived
among this people more justly de-
serves, or more fully holds their good
esteem than he.
The wreath upon the dead mans
coffin and the marble shaft at the
dead mans grave are tributes of res
pect and of love but they are tributes
which yield pleasure only to those
who bestow them. How sweeter the
voice Of love to mans living ear
than fragrance of sweetest flowers
on his sepulchre; how dearer to mans
weary soul the show of encourage
ment and approval while be lives,
than deep carved words Of sdulation
on granite tomb when he is dead.
II was this bestowal which the
people gave this man as he turnsd1
the 18th year Of life behind him, and
it is the prayer Of all who know him
that he may b long spared in
strength of mind and body. Such
men are needed, and when they are
gone they are not easily replaced.

Senator r. l.. Hubble, of Lincoln
introduced the following bill i'll the
State Senate last week:
Senate bill No. l33-Act to regu-
late telegraph, telephone. express
pipe line and heat and light com
panies. declaring same to be common
carriers. and under supervision of
Railroad Commission.
This is Just the character of bill
that the lobbyists are sent to Frank
fort to keep from passing, by hook or
crook. mostly the latter. Let's see
what success they have against the
efforts of the Senator from Lincoln
who's pretty well on to their curves
as result of his eight years legis-
lative experience. We predict they
won't find such easy sailing this
time.
