 supplies, and other freight destined
 for points down the river, with the expectation of leaving here late this

 which will cost in the neighborhood oi $1,O0O, was reached yesterday. at
 a lengthy conference at which there were present MT. Aherbach, MT. Welty, Col. J. c. Cross of Pendleton, Jos. c. Meyer of the packet company, Walker Jones of Hannaberry, and H. I. Holderness, B. B. Bloom and

 r Relief Work Progressing. t | Messrs. Welty and Auerbach ar rived yesterday morning from Could, Warner and Grady, where they have
 been since Sunday. They reported conditions in that section are rapid ly becoming normal again, with all the refugees given the aid they ne eded, and now able to care for themselves. especially as the water is receding.
 The opinion is general now that conditions around Pendleton are worse than at any other point in the state, and that relief measures In that section will have to continue over a period of time, because of lthe
 great amount of water and the length Of time before that water will flow off into the streams, all of which are
 oyerfilled and flooded. All energies
 are to be expended in the Pendelton section, although other sections will be kept in constant touch. eo Conditions At Clarendon. i, At Clarendon, conditions are littl; changed, If at all. The water was
 reported at stand yesterday after noon, and it is believed now the cress has passed and that the worst is over. The water is expected to remain in the streets and houses at Clarendon until the Mississippi begins falling however, as it has no outlet except

Two o,her steambcats are tied up at the leveef ready to rescue those who main. should the levee give way. Conditions in Clarendon. which vas inundated by the White river flcod, are unchanged.

RELIEF FUND FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS

An aggregate of $106 in cash and groceries was added yesterday to the flood relief fund being gathered by The Graphic.
 It was generous amOunt-but still more is needed. Calls for aid and especially for something to eat. are insistent from the flooded sections, particularly south on the river, in the vicinity of Pendleton, Pea Ridge, Wat son and that territory, where 3,CO0 or more persons are marOOned and out of supplies.
 The committees in charge of the re- lief work decided yesterday to ship $1 ,O00 worth of provisions down the river. The Red Cross and other relief funds are helping, but at least half the amount needed is expected to be supplied by Pine Bluff people.
 The aggregate already raised by The Graphic's flood relief fund is nicely past the $500 mark, but the money has been going out just about as rapidly as it had been coming in, because there has already been great demand upon this and all other relief funds, and these demands have been met whenever they have been authen- ticated.
 Virtually all day yesterday the mem bers of The Graphic's relief fund com mittee were in conference with repre- sentatives of other funds and men from the stricken section. These men are devoting their time and energies to the work The demands are great, and they are urging that there be even more generous response to the appeals from Pine Bluffs cold. hun gry and suffering neighbors.

To the Officers and Members Of Cyrene
Commandery No. 2 Knights Temp
lar, Devils Lake, N. D.
We, your committee on resolution on
the Death of Sir knight Peter Haley,
respectfully submit the following:
In the performance Of a painful du-
ty, we, your committee OIL resolution,
have to the death Of our
dearly beloved Sir knight, Peter Hal
ey, the Third Charter member Of Cy-
rene Commandery No. z Knights
Templar, to bid farewell to the House
Of. pain and pass into the land of
Shadows.
With our hearts filled with sorrow,
in silence and sadness we lament the
untinely death of our brother, not
with the cold. philanthropic grief that
comes when we lament the death of a
good man unknown to us, but the deep,
agonizing sorrow that we feel when
those die whom we have known and
dearly loved. It has been well said:
IF we can bend over the dust of a de-
parted brother and say, "Here lies one
whose heart beat quick for others
woes, a good, true and faithful friend,
and say it with truth and honesty Of
purpose then We have paid the highest
tribute which man can pay to man
the highest tribute which humanity
can pay to humanity" And this can
truly be said of our beloved brother
Peter Haley, who died at his home in
this city on the 18th day of April,
1916.
The remains of Brother Haley were
consigned to their last resting place on
the 18th day of April, his body rests
beside his loving wife in the G. A. r.
Cemetery.
He Rests In Peace:
"And we who yet remain
Shall meet our dead again;
Shall give the hand that thrilled with
in our grasp
The token of our faith;
Unchanged by time and death,
And breast to breast his faithful
form shall clasp"
The vast throng of sorrowing friends
assembled on this occasion affords am
pie evidence of. the high estimates in
which brother Haley was held by the
Citizens Of this city in which he has
! spent almost a quarter of a century,
and how deeply the public heart was
stirred by his decease.
The floral tribute surrounding the
casket WEI profuse and elegant in de-
signs, the most beautiful were contri-
buted by the various Masonic Bodies
of this city and KEN Temple, A. A. o.
in. M. S., Grand Forks, N. D.
il And as we bid. our Brother an eff
fectionate farewell, our thoughts in
voluntary turn to his home in Devils
Lake, where sit in sadness and deep
sorrow his Son Clarence and Daughter
Nettie whom he loved so dearly, and
recognizing that their affliction is in
finitely greater than ours we offer
them u sincere sympathy in their
bereavement, and beg permission to
mingle our tears with theirs for the
loss Of him whom we loved most dear
~.
We shall meet, but we shall miss him,
There will be a vacant chair,
But though we no more possess him
Still our hearts his mem'ry bear.
In token Of our sorrow for his death
and in honor of his memory let the
Standards and Charter of the Order
be suitably draped for a period Of 60
days and that this resolution be tran
scribed in the Records of our Com
mandery and that a copy be sent to
the bereaved Son and Daughter.
