ceed anywhere , for wherever they are
placed they conceive and establish new
enterprises that employ men and make
capital. Such men are the true bene
factors of a community. Mr. Oarl
Morton had a fertile mind and .energy.
Restless , except when his energy was
exhausted in work , after the successful
establishment of the starch works , the
invitation to take charge of the glucose
factory , at Waukegan , tempted him to
leave his native place , which his con
structive genius has done so much to
improve. With the generosity of a
young man newly distinguished by pub
lic recognition of his creative ability ,
Mr. Morton probably gave more strength
than he could spare to his work , so that
his system was not able to resist the
attack of-pneumonia which cut off his
beneficent career. He was the youngest
of the four brothers whose achievements
are a credit to their native state. He
was worthy the traditions and name of
his family which has the sympathy of
Nebraska where Oarl was born and
reared and to whose wealth and fame
he m de such worthy contribution. It
was his ambition and purpose to build
glucose works in Nebraska City , for
which he had a peculiarly tenacious
loyalty rare enough in the west where
people move from place to place with
little of that love for home which distinguishes -
tinguishes citizens of older countries.
Lincoln Courier.
The following resolutions relative to
the death of Oarl Morton were unani
mously adopted by the House of Repre
sentatives of Nebraska on January 14 ,

and industry have materially benefited
the commercial and manufacturing
interests of the state of Nebraska ; and ,

mable'value to the state of such strong ,

prime , the physical and intellectual
strength of manhood.

sorrowing hearts we tender our sym
pathies to those bereaved and assure
them that the influences of the life of
Oarl Morton are immortal , and that the
memory of his life , character and ex
ample is a rich legacy , second only to
his living presence.
V Resolved , That this preamble and
these resolutions be spread upon the
i
minutes of the house and that copies bo
sent to the family of the deceased.
The resolutions were signed by Richard
Wilkinson , David Brown , Clifford R.
Teff t and J. E. Hawthorne , all members
of the special committee appointed last
week by the speaker.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the State Historical Society at
their regular meeting held at Lincoln ,
Nebraska , January 8 , 1001.
Whereas , the president of this society
has just suffered grievous and irrepar
able loss in the death of his youngest
son ;
Be it resolved , that the Nebraska State
Historical Society hereby tenders to its
president and his bereaved family its
profound and sincere sympathy in this
hour of sorrow and affliction.
Resolved , That this society recognizes
in the late Carl Morton a man of sterling
character and a worthy son of an
honored father , and one whose death is
a serious loss to this commonwealth of
which he was a native and with which
he has been honorably identified during
practically his entire life. And
Resolved , That these resolutions be
spread upon the records of this society
and that a copy thereof be forwarded to
the bereaved family.
Pursuant to a call of the president ,
there was a meeting of the Nebraska
City Commercial club last evening at
the office of H. O. Freeman. There was
a large attendance and the meeting was
called to order by President-N. A. Duff ,
who stated the object. On motion of
Secretary Steinhart , Wm. H. Hayward
presented a set of resolutions , which he
had drafted in the rough , at the request
of a number of the club , and they were
unanimously adopted. They were as
follows :
Whereas , An All-Wise Providence
has removed from his family , from our
midst and from the scene of his labors
our beloved and honored friend , Oarl
Morton , suddenly called from an active
life and au extended field of usefulness ,
Resolved , That the members of the
Commercial club of Nebraska City ,
unite in an expression of great respect
for his worthy and useful life , and in
deep sorrow for his untimely death.
Resolved , That , recognizing in him
unfailing loyalty to the best interests of
this community , we realize that Ne
braska City has suffered an irreparable
loss.
Unostentatious in his liberality , true
to his friends , pure in his private life
and possessed of that integrity , energy
and ability which enabled him to fill
with distinction those elevated business
positions which he held in the business
world , his absence will be keenly felt.
Resolved , That a copy of these reso
lutions be presented to his family.
It was then decided to present a floral
offering and a committe , consisting of
. H. Hayward and F. E. Helvey ,
was asked to look after the matter.
It was decided that the members of
the club and others who desired should
meet the remains at the depot tomorrow
morning on their arrival and escort
them to the family residence. Nebraska
City News , Jan. 8 , 1901.
Oarl Morton was our very own ; he
died as he lived ; unfalteringly he faced
the mysteries of the future , as he did
the problems of life. Quick , impulsive ,
generous to a fault , ever ready to make
amends if he found he was in error ,
measuring with goodly measure , judg-
\pg \ with justice.
We shall miss his presence , miss his
friendly greeting , miss him socially , for
he was a friend upon whom you could
depend , but his influence will live on
forever , and his example , like the good
seed in fertile soil , bring forth a rich
harvest.
"And BO wo cannot Bay , and we will not Bay ,
That ho Is dead Ho is just away 1
With a cheery smile , and a wave of the hand ,
Ho has wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be , since he lingers there.
And you O you Who the wildest yearn
For the old time step and glad return-
Think of him faring on , as dear
In the love of there as the love of here ;
Think of him as the same , I say :
He is not dead He is just away. "

GRATEFULNESS.
THE CONSERVA
TIVE is very grateful to considerate
friends who , in hundreds of telegrams
and letters , have' expressed their admira
tion for Carl and their condolence for
his family. It is not possible to express
his appreciation of the sympathy that
has cheered up , as with light from
heaven , a home suddenly encompassed
in desolation and darkness.
