conDoLgncE OF SYMPATHY.
Denver, Colo, May II, 1917.

Whereas the Almighty Father has
seen fit to remove from our midst our
dear daughter, Emma Woods, and
lrother of our beloved H. p, Daugh-
ter l.. Boykin, we officers and mem
bers of Boykin's Tabernacle AGA at
this sad hour extend the bereaved
family our heartfelt sympathy and
sincere regrets.
One good, faithful daughter has
gone, but we bow in humble submis-
sion to the will of God, who doth all
things we'll Our sad hearts are lifted
up to know our loss is not In vain,
for new daughter dwells In the heav-
enly Tabernacle. Her death causes
US to realize our plight, for we must
sleep as she sleeps, and we sleep so
as to meet our Sister Daughter.
Therefore be it resolved, that we
point her dear children whom she
loved SO well to the heavenly Father,
that they may abide by His teaching
and see mother again:
Be it further resolved, that a copy
of this coincidence be sent the bereav-
ed family, one sent to the press, one
he spread on the minutes of the Tab
ernacle.
Her suffering ended with the day,
Let lived she at its close,
And breathed the long, long night
away
In statue-like repose.
But when the sun in all its state.
Illumined the eastern skies.
She passed thru Glory's shining gate
And walked in paradise

Fewer Railroad Accidents
Since the State Went Dry

Has the banishment of liquor from
Nebraska served to lessen the num-
Der of grade crossing accidents? This
is the question state railroad men are
asking, for reports of accidents since
the state went "dry" show accidents
in which railway trains and automo-
biles figured to be on decrease, not
only in this state, but other dry"
states as well.
Figures on the situation in Ne
braska have not been given out by
any railroad, but fewer reports OF
serious accidents seem to confirm that
such accidents will be less frequent
in the future.
ut must be-" says a transporta-
ton official, that drivers are becom-
ing more careful in the aggregate,
but occasionally we see narrow es.
capes that make us wonder if an
exception really proves a rule. We
hear of narrow escapes every day, but
the fact that they do escape shows
that some degree Of caution has been
used"
