The handsome lodgo room, with Its many
electric lights and the members of the lodge
Rested In rows around the hall, while the

Victor E, Bender, esteemed lecturing
knight, delivered an eloquent address. He
said:
To me theiu Is nothing more touching nnd
impressive in the outward demonstrations
of tho order of Elks than the simple and
expressive symbolism of the outstretched
"Jl'1;,'.'! '.,r gft5'er moments It Is thn signal
of felicitation nnd goodwill, nnd In the hour
of sorrow Indicative of the loyalty of tho
brotherhood, suggestive of n mother's love
and tsndcrness, nnd an earnest of a safe
haven provided by the Father of us nll-the
","v."!"."'" iianu.- innumernDiy multiplied
until It becomes a circle of protection, a
wall of strength. In which the faltering soul
Is eiicourngert to now endeavor.
The Benevolent nnd Protective. Order of
Elks has no paten) on the name of brother
hood, While wo ure brothers In the same
order, the order Itself is a blood relation to
all the organizations of earth that have for
their object and purpose the weal, of man
kind. Pnrtnklng of the best qualities of all
It Interferes with the work of none.
Particularly on such u sad and solemn
occasion as thl Is tho beauty and strength
of the brotherhood emphasized, Through
the associations made possible by this order
our departed brothers were known to each
and all of us. With us they sat In the ses
sions of the lodge, sharing with u our
d.itle nnd responsibilities, participating In
our plensures and doing their Individual
part In promoting the spirit of friendliness
and fellowship. They were arcs In this
circle, ami without them Hh rounded exist
once can never more obtain. With the. pass.
Ing years one by one of this membership
will Join the Innumerable caravan of the
dead, only to be succeeded by others, who
in their turn will follow them.
The ritual of this order sets apart an In
terval of tlmo In each passing day which,
whenever two or three Elks are gathered
together. Is to be employed In giving loving
remembrance to our absent brothers, in
the observance- of that sentiment, and In
consonance with thnt spirit. In bohalf of
those who are left to mourn their loss, I
hereby pledge our loving remembranco to
our departed brothers.

At the closo of Mr. Bender's nddress I. M.
Treynor sang "Lend. Kindly Light." and
then followed an address by Emmet Tlnley.
esteemed leading knight, .who said:
Since the occasion nf a year ago two
voices have been hushed and no response is
n nde to the culling nf their nnmcs. we
Isten In vain, but to the rail for 8nmticl
Haas mid James M. Fenlon thcrn comes no
reply, rhoy are dend. Though their voices
bo stilled and fall to greet us yet In sor
iow the memory recalls them this hour
ftom that other world.
..AVh?.t en.u J "y 111 '"'ogy of them or
their lives? Could 1 but lay before you that
lovo nnd esteem In which each was held bv
tho entire community It would bo a tale of
high personal regnrd and praise of un
ostentatious yet usoful lives. If I was asked
what fnremont muhIIiv in iim ,.r. ,-,,,,,1
character of Brother Haas entitled him to
the high regard of his follow men I would
say It wa his almost Inordinate lovo of
heme nnd family. What more beautiful
characteristic can a man possess? Thore Is
something about a perfect home that makes
It easy for one to be good. Impossible to be
very bad. Ho was n gonial, pleasant com
rade, alike for the youth and tho elder.
Though hl gray hairs, those veritable,
horologues of years expendud, Indicated the
approaching dusk of hi life, yet tho night
found us unready to part with the day. WV
commend for consolation, reflection upon
hl well htient life.

In my ears would ring tils voice, with the
haunting awe of a breath from the tomb,

now that I am dead why 'do you abandon

compromise. It was absolute, uncondi

obligation wns constant, high-minded nnd
pure. In the assay of his character there
wnn iimini no ii iiny. Ills fondness for chil
dren and their love for him almost renuhed
the Hiiblluie,
Our dead wo mourn and their memnrv
wo cherish most sacredly. With reverane'e

Mnklnu Fl nil I mi Post innstcr.
A serious offori Is to he made here to
oust from office the' postmaster of Des
Moines befojr ills term of office expires.
Tho postmsMerMs Dr. Schooler, a prac
ticing pbyieUn. who was a particular
friend of Congressman Hull nnd secured
the appointment through Hull. His ap
pointment was fiercely, contested and those
who were opposed to htm are now laying
plans to make troublo for him, and It they
cannot s"curo his removal will at least
make it Imposslbln for him to secure re
appointment. They will lay before Presi
dent Roosevelt evidence of several serious
violations of the civil service law. The
fact that President Roosevelt has made
several removals for similar cause has
given Schooler's opponents hope of suc
cess. One of the specific charges against
Schooler will be that he promotod his son
to ono of the best positions In the post
office without cither merit or precedent
to guide him. The boy was n clerk at a
soda fountain when appointed to a place
In the postnfflce after civil service ex
amination nnd In u remarkably short time
he wa6 given one of the best clerkships.
A little later he supplanted n man as super
intendent of carriers who had held tho
position many .cais. Ho was promoted
over the heads of many others, who, under
tho civil service law. are entitled to pro
motion, In nnothcr case a clerk to the
postmaster was appointed over the heads
of innny In line for promotion. Postmaster
Schooler 'affects Indifference, to the nttacka
upon him nnd defies his enemies, Tho
prospect of a pretty fight ahead Is good.

The officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee

to employes notlfyng them that where em
ployes resort to the courts In bankruptcy
proceedings to escape ordinary debts they
will bo discharged from the service nf the
compnny. Complnint has been made by
merchants nnd others at division polnW
that lallroad employes, many of them
earning largo wages, hnvn gone Into bank
ruptcy to escape payment of store bills,
In scumi cases amounting to hut a few dol
lars, and this whllo It was plain that the
employes might pay out after awhile by the
exerclso of ordinary prudence nnd oronomy.
Tho movement of the Milwaukee compnny
