We, with you, mourn the 10ss of a be- loved brothes. Redlizing our inability in the presence of death to comfort with mere words we would simply take you to the ban- ner of our commandery, point you to tho cross of Calvary and there leave you in the hands of the Great Captain of our salvation. Sir knights, for ourselyes individually let us heed the striking reminder that wo know not Low soon the angel of death may receive the fatal mandate to strike us from the roll of human existence. May we then 80 gratefully 1mprove the remaining span of lifo that when our hour of death arrives our disembodied spirits may soar aloft in the realms of light and life eternal, “Resolved, That tho above ex- presses tho feelings of the Sic Knights in attendance on the triennal conclaveat Wash- ington; that copies of the above be sent to the brothers of deceased, that a copy bo osted in tho Nebraska headquarters at Wasbingion and that a copy be sent to the recorder of Mount Calvary commandery, and that in addition the standard of our com mandery be properly draped and that the Sir Knights in attendance at Washington wear the proper emblem of mourning.

Judge - Groff Renders Another Im- portant Land Decision. Wasnixerox. D. C., Oct. 11,—Land Com- missioner Groft has rendered @ decision in the case of May Barr, formerly a Wasson resident, in the Mitchell, Dak, land district. Tt appears from the testimony that in July, 1885, Mrs. Barr, then a resident of the state of Towa, went to Dakota on a visit and whilo thero took up oighty acres of land adjoining @ tract then recently entered by Micliel Barr. Stio purcgased a house und bad it moved on her clim, broke one acre and mado other improvements. At that time, she says in her testimony, she had no intention of marrying Mf. Barr, but later they married and moved the houses up ' close together upon the line, sodded them all round on the outside, mak- iug_one house.

There is no means of communi- cation betiveen the two different parts of the house except by going outside, each having an outside door. She acted in good faith in making the entry, not knowing Michuel Barr at the time and having no understanding that it was to bo kept in Barr's family. She complied with the homestead law fully. Mrs. Barr's claim is vejected on the gronnd that husband and wife cannot maintain sep- arate relations at the same time and in the same house, so that each by virtue of said residence may perfect an entry under the homestead law. 1t ia said there are a num- ber of cases in the general land office similar in all important respects to the case of Mrs. Barr, —— THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, Eminent Commander Olcott Sus- pendsd For One Year.

A SETTLEMENT PROBABLE. The Northwestern Break in Rates Shortly to Bo Adjusted. ASSURANCES FROM THE ““SOO0." As 8oon as the Lake Lines Stop Busi- ness For the Season It Will Go Rack to the Ol Basis, A Prospeotive Patchup. Cricaco, Oct. 11.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee.| 1t now s2ems practically cortain that the Northwestern break in rates will be satisfactorily setiled at the close of naviga- tion. Positive assurances have been received from the “Soo" line that as soon as the lake lines stop business for the scason 1s will, with the concurreut action of the Chicago- St. Paul lines, raiso rates to the old basis, The Burlington & Northern, if agreeablo to the advance, may fairly be taken as a mouth- piece of the northwestern lLines, as it was the one to start the break. Trafiic Manager Hawblin, of the Burlington & Northern, said to-day to your represonta- tive: ‘I think there is no doubt that the “Soo™ will agree to an advance in rates when lake campetition ceases. 17 it does wo will gladiy advance the rates with it. In that event, of course, it will make no difference whether or not we secure the co-operation of all-rail lines to the scuboard. The old plan of charg- ing the sum of the local rates will be re- adopted. Of courso our consent to raise the rates is contingent on the as- sent of the Chicago-St. Paul lines, but I think they will be as willing as we are 10 go bacl to the old busis.” “The threatened s 1of the low St. Paul rates hus been stopped by agreement bo- tween the Burlington and Rock Island. The Rocl Island agrees to restore rates at Kco- kuk on the #d and the Burlington has prom- ised to do likewise at Burlington, ‘This will make Davenport the southernmost! point af- fected by the low St. Paul rates. Tho Iili- nois Central, which threatened to make ex- actly the same rates to Sioux City as have been made to St. Paul, has postponed action until tho November meeting of the Western Freight association. By that timo it is hoped that navigation will be closed and the St. Paul rates restored. A glance at the map wiil show the disastrous effects of the low rates ut Sioux City. They will ine bly spread to Omaha and Kansas City and reduce the jross earnings of ull western roads 40 per cent. ‘Ihe lllinois Centr notico is regarded inChicago merely as a bluff to compel the Burlington to take the Burlington & Northern under its wing and make it restore rates.
