THE Odd Fellows Grand lodge at their recent meeting, closed the door of subordinate lodges against saloon keepers by a vote of 147 to 32. It took 135 votes to carry it. The same questions hud come up every year for the past 5 years, bul this time it was carried and settled. There is a growing sentiment all over the country against the saloon business. It drags too many men down to degredation and ruin.

AT a recent meeting of a number of representative businessmen, steps were taken to secure some fact relative to the railroad interests of our city. It can easily be demonstrated that a cross railroad would pay here and pay big. It is a clear case of mutual benefit. The owners and opperators of the road would make big money and it would be of vast advantage to our city in a business point of view. Cheaper freight rates and a more direct route to the lakes for grain would be secured and itjwould elevate the price of wheat and corn from one to two cents a bushel which would be a big thing for the farmers. The business men of Greenfield are unanimous in their desire for this road and propose putting forth an earnest effort and concerted action. It will brin? a cross railroad to Greenfield in the year 1896 sure. Let there be no let up in this matter but let everybody do their level best. Greenfield's star is in the ascendenti May it continue to rise higher and higher.

OBITUARY.

Sol omon E. Jackson, son of Uriah S. and Mary J. Jackson, was born in Vernon township, Hancock county, Indiana September 14, 1867, died at the residence of his parents in Greenfield, Indiana, September the 25, 1895, aged 28 years and 11 days. He acquired a good education in the common schools of Vernon township and Fortville and afterward attended the Greenfield High school. He began teaching in 1885 at the age of 18 years and taught for 4 successive years, one year being in the New Palestine schools. During his vacation he read law, and after successfully passing the required examination in June 1888, was upon arriving at his majority, admitted to the Bar in September of that year. In 1889 was admitted to the practice in the Supreme Court of Indiana and in 1893, was admitted to the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington D. C.

On March 8, 1889 he left Greenfield, in search of a location to practice his chosen profession, going first to Fort Smith Ar kansas. He remained there but a short time, going to Muscogee, Indian Territory, where he opened an office and entered the practice, commanding a good business at once. In July 1890, a new Court being established at Ardmore, I. T., he removed to that place and was present at the organization of the Court, having opened the first law office in that place. From the beginning he commanded a large and lucrative general practice and in addition was attorney for the following railroad companies:

Atchinson, Topeka and Sante Fee Gulf, Colorado and Sante Fee Rock Island, St. Louis and San Francisco alse for the Western Union Telegraph Co. and for the Chickasaw Nation. He had accumulated quite an amount of property, most of which is in real-estate in Ardmore I. T., some being located at Perry and Wynnewood, I. T.

He was married in July 1894, to Alma Edmiston of Gainsville, Texas. He has since continued to reside at Ardmore.

He was a member of the M. E. church and before his failing health deprived hini of the privilege, was an active member of the Sunday school, being the teacher of the Bible class, and the organizer of the "Band of Hope" in this city. He was a member of the order of Knights of Pythias and I. O. O. F.

In politics he was an active member of the Democratic party and made a number of speeches in Hancock county and also Rush county during the campaign of 1888. Soon after taking up his residence in Ardmore, I. T. he was recognized as a leader of the party, issuing the call for an organization of the party in the five civilized tribes.

He we.s cfoosen delegate to the National convention at Chicago, In 1893, and was I

Secretary of the Committee on Creddentials. He was made a member of the Committee to inform Cleveland and Stephenson of their nominations for the offices of President and Vice-President, and went to New York, where with the other members of the committee the formal notification was made. He represented the Territory on the committee to receive the President and his wife at the inauguration in March 1893. He was strongly endorsed by the Bar and leadi' citizens of the Teriifcory and of his native State for the office of United States District Attorney for Indian Territory, and had it not been for personal relations which had a controlling influence, would have been appointed to the position. Judge Stewart and the deceased were chosen to present to Congress the necessity of dividing the Indian Territory into three judical circuits instead of one, and to their labors was due the success of the measure.

His strongest trait of character was probably his great ability to make and keep desirable irieud3. He was approachable at all times and his congenial and buoyant nature drew to him a large circle of admiring associates and ncquaiutauces. Triis faculty enabled him to make very valuable acquaintance throughout aiur-st he entire Southwestern I"aited Slates.

His career measured by time was short, but his achievements were such as to be reckoned a grtat success had he bem many years in their accomplishment.

He leaves a wife, father, mother, two brothers aud two sisters, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his departure.

The funeral services were conducted at the residence of his parents oil State .street on Saturday, Sept. 28th, at 10:30 a. m., the Rev. Nethercut of the 1st M. E. church, assisted by the Rev. 11. W. Thompson of the Baptist church, officiating. The funeral was in charge of the Kuights of Pythias and there was a good representation from the neighboring lodges of Ivnightstown, Fortville and New Palestine.

GEMS IN VERSE.

The Blessings of Today.

If we knew the woe and heartache, Waiting for us down the road If our lips could taste the wormwood

If our backs coukl feel the load, Would we waste today in wishing For a timo that ne'er can be, Would we wait in such impatience

For our ships to come from set .?

Strange we never prize the music Till the sweet voiced bird has flown, Strange th^t we should slight the violets

Till the lovely ilowera are gone, Strange that summer skies and sunshine Never seem one-half so fair As when winter's snowy pinions

Shake their white down in the air I

Let us gather up the sunbeams Lying all along our path Let us keep the wheat and roses,

Casting out the thorns and chaff Let us liii'l our sweetest comfort In the biesKings "t today, With the .i]c!)t hand removing

All the briers from our iy.

A I'rayei* A-or Kcst.

Upon the lulls the wind is sharp and eold, Tht- sweet young srrass-s with 011 the wold, And we, O Lord. -.ve wandered from thy fold,

Bat evening bruiga us. home..

Anions: the mists v. i• stumble, and the rocks, 1 When the brown lichens whiten and the fox Watches the straggler from the scattered flocks,

Eut evening brings r.s home. The sharp thorns prick us, and our tender feet I Are cut and bleeding, and ttoo lambs repeat-

This pitiful complaini: Oh, rest is sweet

I

When evening brings u. home! I The darkness gathers. Through the gloom no star

Rises to guide us. We have wandered far. Without lljy lamp know not where wo are. At evening bring us homo. I We have be 11 wounded by the hunter's darts.

Our eyes are very heavy, and our hearts Search for thy coming. When the light departs At evening, bring us home.

The clouds are round us, and the snowdrifts thicken. O thou dear Shepherd, leave us not to sicken. In the waste night our tardy footsteps quicken.

At evening bring us home.

Love's Wisdom.

Love never sleeps when sorrow waives And joy tliti dear one's side forsakes As swift as thought his path he takes

Where dangers threat and lower. His loyal lips forbear the boast, Yet ere the chime that needs him most

Love knows the hour.

Love hath no lack of skill to find The wound that needs his watchful mind, And soft his touch as is the wind

That stirs the spider's lace. What though the light be dusk and dim? Dream not the hurt forgot by him

Love knows the place.

Love hath no need of treasured lore Nor mystic spells from days of yore To teach his hand the balm to pour

Upon an aching heart. There is no pang that grief can feel But, with a tender grace to heal,

Love know:* the art. —Samuel M. Peck in Boston Transcript.

f' A Housekeeper's Tragedy. One day, as I wandered, 1 heard a complaining And saw a poor woman, the picture of gloom. She glased at the nftid on her doorsteps ('twas raining),

And this was her wail as she wielded the broom: "Oh, life is a toil, and love is a trouble,

And beauty will fade, and riches will flee, And pleasures they dwindle, and prices they double,

And nothing is what I could wish it to be!

"There's too much of worriment goes to a bonnet There's too much of ironing goes to a shirt: There's nothing that pays for the timo you waste on it

There's nothing that lasts but trouble and dirt.

"I11 March it is mud it's slush in December The midsummer breezes are loaded with dust In fall the loaves litter in muggy September

The dirt piles up, and combat it I must.

"Last night in my dreams I was stationed forever On a bare little isle in the midst of the sea. My one chance of life was a ceaseless endeavor

To sweep oil the waves ere they swept over me. •.

"Alas, 'twas 110 dream I Again I behold it I I yield. I am helpless my fate to avert!" She rolled down her sleeves, her apron she folded,

Then laid down and died and was buried in dirt.

Calling the Angels In.

We mean to do it. Some day, some day, We mean to slacken this fevered rush That is wuaring our very souls away

And grant to our goaded hearts a hush That is holy enough to let them hear The footsteps of angels drawing near.

Wo mean to do it. Oh, never doubt, When the burden of daytime toil is o'er, We'll sit and muse while the stars come out

As patriarch sat at the open door Of his tent, with a heavenward gazing eyo, To watch for the angels passing by.

We've seen them afar at high noontide, When fiercely the world's hot flashings beat, Yet never have bidden them turn aside

And tarry again in converse sweet, Nor prayed them to hallow tho chcer we spread. To drink of our wine and break our bread.

We promised our hearts that, when the stress Of life work reaches the longed for close, When the weight we groan with hinders less,

We'll loosen our thoughts to such repose As banishes pare's distracting din, And then—wo will tall the angels in.

The day we dreamed of comes at length, When, tired of every mocking guest And broken in spirit and shorn of strength,

We drop indeed at tho door of rest And wait and watch as the days wane on— But tho angels we meant to call are gone. —Margaret J. Preston.

Over the Itiver of Drooping Eyes. Over the river of Drooping Eyes Is the wonderful Land of Dreams, Where lilies grow 11s white as the snow, And fields are green, and warm winds blow, And the tall reeds quiver, all in a row, And no one ever cries, For it is a beautiful place for girls and boys, Where there's 110 scolding nnd lots of noise, And no lost balls or broken toys, Over the river of Drooping Eyes In the beautiful Land of Dreams.

Over tho river of Drooping Eyes Is the wonderful Land of Dreams. There's horns to blow, and drums to beat, And plenty of candy and cakes to eat, And no one ever cleans their feet. And 110 0110 ever tries! There's plenty of grassy places for play, And birds and bees, they throng all tho day. Oh, wouldn't you like to go and stay Over the river of Drooping Eyes In tho beautiful Land of Dreams? —Maurice Crayton.

Tomorrow you will live, you always cry. In what far country does this morrow lie That 'tis so mighty long ero it arrivo? Beyond the Indies does this morrow live? 'Tis so farfetclied, this morrow, that I fear 'Twill be both very old and very dear. Tomorrow I will live, the fool does say. Today itself's too late. The wise lived yester*

The Banner of Light is, as every one knows,one of the most successful denominational publications issued in this country.

In its 77th volume it is at once conservative and bright, discussing not only modern Spiritualism, but frequently landing its influence fearlessly in matters of public importance outside its principal field.

Mr. John W. Day, who is the editor and one oI the proprietors, writes in The Banner of Light as follows to the proprietors of Paiue's celery compound: "I owe you a debt of gratitude in placing OH the market such a nerve-easing and and soothing remedy as Faines' celery compound. It was brought to my notice by a friend who had himself been greatly relieved by its use, as I have also been. "L have frequently taken occasion to commend Paine's celery compound to others, and I do not know an instance wherein, if faithfully tried, it ha3 not woi'ked a benefit. "Yours truly, JoLu W. Day."

Mr. Day's portrait is given above. He is a member of the Masonic, Odd Fellows Grand Army and other fraternal organizations, and is highly esteemed by his brethern and others in the social walks of life.

His gratitude for the good that this greatest of remedies has done him is in no sense remarkable. Thousands who have been made well by Paine's celery compound haveseut their unsoclicitedtestimenials tothe'proprietors of the remedy or direct to medical journals or newspapers telling for the benefit of others the results that followed the use of the remedy that is food for the nerves and brain, that enriches the blood, that make the weak strong, aud is the one nervefailing specific, prescribed by physicians aud recommended by all who have ever faithfully used it, for insomnia, nervous debility, neuralgia, rheumatism, indigestion and the
