Following closely upon the appointment of these committees, Hon. E. C. Blackmore, past grand master of Iowa, was presented to the grand lodge of Nebraska, and was (r:(cmnlly welcomed by the grand master, Who gave the visitor a seat on hi ol his right GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. Then followed the reading of the grand master's address. The introduction was de- voted to the deccased grand custodian, Lee P. Glllette of Beatrice, whose death but g short while ago caused so profound a grief in Masonic circles. Said the grand master of the late custodlan: “Endowed with pe- oullar and marked ability as a_teacher, ever faithfully and earnestly devoted to his work, exemplary in his life and untiring in his xeal, we arc indebted to him more than any other one for the high standing of Masonry which today exists throughout this juris- diction.” . During the year 100 brethren were called from labor to eternal refreshment. Continuing, the grand master, in recount- ing the work of the year, said: “‘Historians will record’ the period marking the last Masonlc year as one of the most eventful and disastrous since the birth of the mation. Early in its history a financial orisis unparalleled came upon us unawares, Yet 1 am proud to state that the brethren of the fraternity have so nobly risen to meet the emecrgency, and throughout the length and breadth of our fair state the subordinate lodges have so readily and cheerfully guarded the welfare of the brethren within their re- spective jurisdictions, anticipating the needs of the worthy brother in distress, that no appeal has been left unanswered, and in very exceptional cases has the grand lodge been called upon to render financlal aid. And now that the fury of the storm has passed, that the sunshine again breaks through the elouds, and prosperity once more dawns upon us, we have reason for congratulation that the bonds of fraternal fellowship so strongly uniting us have maintained us an unbroken band, and without the loss of one, we have, through mutual adversity, become only more firmly united, and present today a solid front in the battle of life.” Upon the subject of “laying corner stones" Grand Master Black paid this tribute to one of Omaha's best known millionaires: On August 12, 1893, with the assistance of the other grand oflicers, I laid the corner stone of the public library in the city of Omaha. Masonry has ever marched hand in hand with education and charitable Institu- tions, and it was with the greatest pride we laid the foundation stone of this magni-' ficent structure, so notably both charitable and educational, which, in its weil conducted organization, supplies its patrons with the cholce literature embodied in a well selected library of over 40,000 volumes. I cannot pass this subject without paying a small tribute to the memory of our deceased Worshipful Brother Byron Reed, truly a lover of the arts and sclences, to whose untiring effor(s during his life the library assoclation is largely Indebted for much cf its present suc- cess, and who at his death contributed so munificently to the permanent establishment of this great enterprise, bequeathing to the assoclation the larger portion of the ground on which the bullding stands, many choice volumes from his private library, and a rare Dumlematle ccllection, of great’ value, _the entire gift being of the appro: v of $100,000.” 8 pproximate value The grand master recommended among ether things the establishment of a properly fitted and arranged grand lodge office and a ohange in the meeting time of the grand Todge. CONDITION OF FUNDS, Grand Treasurer Hartman, in his repo howed that the amount received from aii nds, including the balance of 1893, was 4,438.54; amount expended, $11,238.01; bal- 06 on hand In the general fund, $18,200.63, o rellef fund, Inoluding the balance of , amounts to $1,371.35, the balance after ursements amounting to $1,276.35.

Gillette, told of the work that had been done in the Masonle vineyard. After the announcement that the past master's degreo would be conferred upon worthy applicants during the early part of the evening and the veteran Masons would give a banquet in the banqueting room on the second floor, the grand lodge was called from labor to refreshment at 6:30, to meet again at 8:30 this morning. —_——— THE MORSE DRY GOODS €O, Retiring from Businesi—Astonishment As- tonished!

Cook was commenced in the probate court Tuesday afternoon. The deccased was one of the old residents of the city and died March 20, 1804, at his residence, Twenty- sixth and Decatur streets. On February 2 of this year he executed a will, bequeathing the sum of $5,000 to the trustees of the Sec- ond Presbyterian church, situated at Twenty- fourth and Nicholas streets, to be used for the benefit of worthy young men who might be desirous of entering the ministry. After the death of Cook Is was discovered that that portion of the will had been cut out of the paper upon which it had been written. The trustees of the church insisted that the will was mutilated after it had been signed, while the heirs of the dead man alleged that the church had no claim upon the prop- erty. Al Over In a Year. Yesterday afternoon Judge Walton severed the ties which have united George and Emma Patterson as man and wife since the time of holding the World's fair, last summer, the female portion of the family securing the decree. As told to the court, George was an individual who toyed with a matrimonial agency, working from some town on the Pacific slope. The wife answered the adver- tisement and a spirited correspondence fol- lowed. This ended In an agreement to marry, Patterson journeying to Chicago to meet his bride. Upon arriving In the city by the lake, he told Emma that he had se- lected her from among 400 blushing malds, and together they went to St. Louis, where the ceremony was performed. After a mar- rled existence of twelve heurs, George skipped the bed and board, which was taken at the Laclede, and never returned to his first love. The decree was granted on the ground of failure to support. Minor Court Matters, Judgd Scott has announced that he failed in his efforts to get a judge from the in- terfor of the state to try the libel suit of Mrs. Sophia Bennett against the editor of The Bee, and that the case will be tried by one of the Omaha judges. Anton Sorenson has sued Ira Van Camp in an action to recover the sum of $10,000, al- leging that Van Camp was negligent in the medical treatment of his wife, Martha Soren- son. This Is the socond chapter.of a similar sult that was tried in Judgo: Blair's court Quring the early days of the term. The case of Willlam A. Paxton against El- mer A. Thayer has been dismissed from the dockets, the plaintiff agreeing to pay the costs. In 1881 the defendant executed a note for $1,000, and a few months ago sult was brought to recover. He pleads that the stats utes of limitation had run and that he was not lable. In the case of Louls N. Godola against the Bast Omaha Street Railway company, the defendant has moved for a new trial, alleg- ing that the amount allowed the plaintiff by the jury was excessive. Godola was the policeman who fell off the front end of the motor while returning from Courtland lake last summer. He sued for $10,000 damages and recovered a verdict for §1,785. In Judge Ambrose's court the case of Re- gina Marrow nst Emily Hespeler is at- tracting the attention of a jury and a number of the lawyers, il of whom are watching a butcher knife and a pear of shears which have been introduced in evidence. The whole trouble grows out of a family affair, in which one sister is suing the other to re- cover the sum of $10,000 on account of per- sonal Injuries alleged to have been sustained. In Judge Ferguson’s court the divorce case of Edgar W. Percupile against Margaret L. Percupile was called for trial, but it was not ready for hearing. The court expressed the opinion that there was something radically wrong with the matters pertaining to this case, saying that recently he had received three unsigned letters, stating that the man in the case was living with another woman in this city, and that the report was that they were married. He ordered an investi- gation, and the case was passed for this purpose. —_———— One word describes It, “perfection.”” We refer to DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, cures piles. i TR il A cooling ride—to Courtland beach. —l He Cursed the Boy.

Money When About 7 o'clock yesterday morning Private James Heffernan, company D, Second United States infantry, was found dead by side the Elkhorn tracks, near North Twenty- fifth street The body was removed to the morgue at once and an examination made. It was found that the skull on the right side of the head, just above the ear, had been fractured. There was a scalp wound several inches In length. Blood had flowed freely from the wound and had covered part of the face. No other wounds or bruises were found on the body, though the soldier's uni- form was covered with dirt. At first it was supposed that an engine had struck Heffernan, but when the body was searched at the morgue nothing but a small note book, a pencil and three ke were found. Then the theory of murder wa advanced. A sergeant of company D viewed the remains and stated that Heffernan was known to have had some money and a gold watch, Coroner Maul thought possibly the man had left his watch and money in his locker at the fort, so a search of his effects was made, but neither watch nor money was found. The fact strengthened the murder theory. During the forencon the coroner called upon the Elkhorn officials and asked if any report of an accident had been made. The railway people pleaded fgnorance, but eaid they had a train which arrived here at 11 o'clock in the evening. In the opinion of the coroner Heffernan had been dead for from six to eight hours, and it was this that caused Mr. Maul to think that the soldier had been struck by a train. The matter reported to the police by the coroner, and a couple of men will in- vestigate. Heffernan was at the fort Tuesday evening until after parade and then went out for walk. He has the reputation of being a good soldier, is not a drinking man_and never was known to plck a quarrel. Some time ago Heffernan won someething like $100 in some kind of a lottery scheme. He was a card player, and as a rule always had a little ready money in his clothes. A fow days after winning this money Heffernan was held up and robbed, by whom it was never learned. The police think that the soldler was struck by a train and knocked down the embankment; that some one came along, eaw the body and rifled the pockets. The deceased was 30 years of age, enlisted in New York state and had served nearly five years with the Second infantry. The coroner swore fn a jury to view the remains, and then the body was taken to Fort Omaha. Officials at the fort, the police and the coroner are investigating the case. To strengthen the murder theory, several per- sons living in_the vicinity of where the body was found claim to have heard some shots fired between 10 and 11 o'clock last night. An examination of the body fails to show any bullet wounds Pec ar to Itsolf.

In pursuance to Instructions from Wash- ington, Revenue Collector North 1s set- tling the government accounts with the | [ United states Natianal and Merchants bunks of this city, prepasatory to the withdrawal of the funds from these banks.

Inspector North was seen yesterday and he said that the object of the order was to reduce the number of United States:depositories and lessen the outstanding aceounts of the government. The government’ funds of these banks are gaid to not be very large just at present. Similar changes will probably be made in other cities for the same purpose. Revenue Agent Fleming Tells of Tus- sle with Whisky Makers. ©. J. Fleming, United States internal rev- enuo agent, with headquarters at St. Louls, {8 in the city on a tour of Inspection over his district, which includes the states of Mis:ourl, Towa, Arkansas, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, North and South Da- kota and the territories of Oklahoma, Ari- zona and New Mexico. Mr. Fleming was a_special gauger under the first Cleveland administration, and was appointed to his present position on the first of the present year. He was mixed up In a little brush with moonshiners in the Arkansas mountains re- cently, which resulted in a couple of the illicit ~ distillers being carried to jail on stretchers, Both of them were riddled with bullets and buckshot, but notwithstanding their serious wounds and contrary to the expectations of the attending physicians, they recovered. One of them was convicted and sentence stayed pending his restoration to health, while the other was acquitted. In speaking of his experiences with moon- shiners, Mr. Fleming sald that it was well nigh impossible to break up the flicit dis- tillation of whisky in the localities. where it has been carried on fo successfully for places in the mountal ) have the utmost difficulty in reaching them, even when we know pretty nearly where they are. Then tha sentiment of the people is altogether with the moonshiners, and the revenue officers and federal officers have uphill work of ft. It {s prac- tically impo:sible to reach them un- less we have a guide who can take us directly to the spot, for the lumber roads cross and recross each other in a most bewildering way, making it out of the ques- tion for any but those familiar with the country to keep from getting lost altogether. This is particularly true in the mountains of Arkansas, where a new road is cut out every time it rains and the old one becomes impassable. Moonshining is a perfectly nat- ural operation with the people in those for- bidding regions, as they are so utterly re- moved from a market for their corn that the only way they can convert it into mar- ketable form is to make it into whisky. Whisky has practically become the medium of exchange in some localities. A man takes a couple of bushels of corn to the still and receives its equivalent in the distilled juice, which passes current with everybody in that section. It is as good as money in the little cro s gettlements, and I do not consider it at all strange that the moonshiners ghould find ample inducement to continue the man- ufacture, even with the necessity of evasion of the detection of the revenue officers. “It 1s a very ordinary quality of whisky that they turn out, as they have none of the improved appliances. for conducting the fer- mentation. They have lately taken to steal- ing the sixty to 100-gallon tanks that arc Standard Oil company uses for shipping naphtha and gasoline, and convert them into stills for the production of whisky. North Carolina ig probably the banner moonshine state, as 135 moonshine stills were seized there in a single year. After a thorough raid of that kind they are somewhat scarce for a year or two, and then they get stocked up and go it full blast again. The most successful raid and prosecution was at Ilort Smith, Ark., where out of seventy indict- ments returned there were fifty-six con- victions. I have: just completed a trip over ten states, and it has kept me on the mo for six months. I go from here to eastern Towa, and then the round is completed, and I will be in shape to start over again.” itk e Chinese performance at Conrtland beach. e WEATHER FORECAST.
