On reaching the crmotory the
Woodmen formed in a circle pbout
tlio grave while the vast audience
Hcoured plaooH PH near aH possible to
yvilnc fl the imprcHHivo and boauli
ful ritual work of the ordor. The
uxoroisoH , of course , were under the
direction of Walnut Camp and
- after the band had rendered -'Near
er My God to Tlioo , " the Council
Commander of the camp said ;
"Estoemod Sovoroijna and
FrUndo : it has bo1 n the custom
for centuries to oominomorato great
events and perpetuate grand achieve *
rneuta.by the erection of imponiny
and enduring inouuuiontH. Wo are
assembled , today , to dedicate a
monument , reared by willing hands
and loving hearts , to honoi the
name nnd memory of a Sovereign
of the Woodmen of the Woild. It
IB the fulfillment of air obligation
which all Woodmen have taken to
protect the good name of each other
while living and mark well his
grave when dead. Standing upon
this hallowed spot wo are ead and
sorrowful , and wo think of our
departed Sovereign with tenderness ,
his goodness wo would magnify
and his shortcomings wo have biriod
in the dark rcoebses of forgetful-
ness.
' Wo are hero to honor his mem
ory and give expression to our re
spect for those whom bo loved best.
Wo are the Jnunblo servants to exe
cute as a Woodman , aud unto him
and not unto us bo the praise for
his wine forethought in conferring
upon us the privilege of comforting
the bereaved ones for whom ho
provided. The cold stone which
shall mark his last routing place ,
stands llko n faithful sentinel to
guard his duet tuul indicate to the
world hia devotion to these ho loved
ard to his ohosun oraft. It tells a
story , though mute and motionless.
It glorifies life ; it idealizes death.
Passionless , immovable , stern and
unyielding , it symbolizes the faith
of humanity. The passerby will
pause and road the name of a good
man and a true Sovereign.
"It will be inspiring to emulate
his life , that the passer-by may become -
como worthy of such a tribute when
earth shall bo to his closing ayes a
fading shadow , passing away into
his future , when his eyes shall bu
opened to the brightness of the
hereafter , winch , like a sweet and
beautiful viaion shall oomo stealing
o'or BOUSOS and changing , ever
changing , ehall have its fruition in
a perpetual reality of joy. "
The olork than placed the pike
polo and fltroamera at the foot of
the grave ; the watchman and sentry -
try Jaid branches and a wreath upon
the grave ,
At the direction of the oonBul
commander the miHtor of cori'inon-

lover , whiuh , to tint lime , had
veiled the monuimmt. The consul
commander then advanced to the
moi.umeiit upon which I o rapped

"LoVf , honor , remembrance. Thou

The banker and clerk advanced

Tlin banker Htnkcs the monument
with the wedge and says , "L-wo ,

he'd ' tlio goblet and the banker
poured water into it , both drank
and the clerk gently poured water
on the monument when the banker
said , "Living , our departed Sovereign

libations to the honor of ail deceased

At the conclusion of the ritualistic
work , Ilov. D. 12 Evans , of Lewis
dulivered an olcquonl and heart
felt eulogy upon the deceased , pay
ing high tribute to his character
both as a member of the order and
a oit'/.en. A brief history of the
short life of Iho departed was also
given in which- high tribute was
pnid to the patriotism and love of
his country which prompted the de
ceased to leave homo and fr > ends
and go forth to the distant islands
of the seas to do battle for his conn-
tip and his ilag.
The monument is a beautiful one
bearing the various iusigmas of the
order and setting forth the name ,
figo and place of death of the de
parted.
Nat Sims was born jut ever the
line in Pottawattamie county September -
tombor 20 , 1878. Most of his life
was spent in that and Cnss counties ,
where ho grew to manhood. When
Iho call for troops oamo to defend
the ling in the war with Spain , he
enlisted with Co. "M" First Ne-
jrawka Volunteer Infantry and it
was from wounds received at the
bittlu : of Malolus on March 26,1800 ,
while engaged with bin command ,
against the Filipino Insurrectionists ,
that the deceased died in the hospi
tal at Manila on March 26 , two days
ator. 'I ho remains arrived in Wal
nut and were laid to rest in the
ocmutory , February 17 , 1900 in the
f/ravo which is now markoJ by the
beautiful monument which his
jrothor Woodmen have erected to
i is memory.
Itcv. J. Ueo. Gibson Not Dead.
It has been quite generally pub
lulled and believed , that Kov. J.
oroo.Gibsonpastor of the Emmanuel
Baptist church of San Francisco ,
who was pastor at the time of Du-
rant'a trial , for the murder of the
two young ladies iound dead in the
attic of the church building , thnt
Gibson bud died , and that on his
death bed ho had confessed to have
murdered the girls under similar
circumstances to these proven
against Durant. The statement
was a fabrication for which there is
no excuse. The following letter ,
copied from the Mi sionaryMouthly ,
from Rev. Gibson to Dr. T. J.Mor
gan , secretary of the Homo Mission
Board , of Now York , establishes
without doubt the falsity of the
story :
"Dr. T. J. Morgan.
Dear Brother : Your latter ol
Juno 20th received , lamalivoand
well , after preaching in Emmanuel
Churoh for more than five years. I
have a whole piio of eastern papoie
containing the IIOWB of my death.
The lie is traveling around , and I
cannot slop it. The three great
papers of San Francisco the Ex
aminer , Chronicle and Call have
all denied that I am dead ; also the
Bulletin ; but it is no use , the lie
goes on.
From what I oan learn there have
been several cases of murder and
robbery where the lawyers have
argued against circumstantial evi
dence , and out of pure imagination
have referred to the Durrani oaeo
nnd my death as a picture of where
a mistake was made.
I have the Buffalo News. The
