M. Shaeffer, ex-keeper of records and seals, A short review of the whole affair will clear the public mind. On May 13, 1895, W. F. Bechtel at Omaha filed charges with Grand Chancellor Shuman against Harry M. Shaeffer, grand keeper of records and seals, which represent that “Harry M. Shaeffer, as such grand officel recelved and collected money for supplie sold to subordinate lodges, which he failed and neglected to acconnt for to the sald grand lodge, and wrongfully and fraudulently appropriated the same to his own use, In violation of section 23 of the constitution of the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias of Ne- braska.” 3 There are various specifications, all of which are in the same trend as the above. Grand Chancellor Shuman hereupon appointed a oim.mittee consisting of W. W. Young of Stan- Henry Fox, jr., of Nelson and George of Exeter to investigate the charges committtee appointed an expert agree- ble fo both parties to make an examination of Shaeffer's records. After hearing the evidence of the expert and of others, the committee, as stated in its report to the grand chancellor, made the following filnd- ing “We find that these deficiencies have ex- tended from October, 1880, down to October 1, 1894, and in cach and every Intervening year, amounting in the aggregate to 59. “We therefore find Brother H. M. Shaeffer to be guilty upon each and every one of the counts In the charges and specifications filed against him.” Hereupon Grand Chancellor Shuman de- posed Shaeffer. The latter appealed from the findings of the committee, claiming that it had done him a gross injustice. FINAL ACTION OF THE GRAND LODGE The matter was then taken up in the grand lodge. Here all the evidence was read and the lodge resolved itself into a committee of the whole to take final action in the mat- ter. Such action was the unanimous adop- tion of the following resolutions introduced by Past Grand Chancellor Hamilton and Past G e ilworth: Be It re: in its collectiy fidence in the grand i and in the committee appointed to Investigate the re- corded charges against Brother H. M aeffer, Brother W. W.

And we further find that sald H. M. Shaeffer, grand keeper of records and_seals, has made an earnest, honest and con: scientious effort to replace and make good all discrepancy or shortage that existed at that time, and whereas it would be an ex- pensive proceeding for this grand lodge to spend several days for this committee of the whole to ascertaln the exact status of Judiclary relation now existing between this That so far as this ng in review (n com- an ascertain, the s ticular time it c acted as this e acted un, the nd with the same ev- grand lodge and Brother H. M. Shaeffer. Therefore, this committee of the whole expre its sense that this resolution, with the preamble thercto, be recommended to the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias, of the domain of Nebraska, and that they recom- mwend the adopting of said resolution. We further recommend that a_committee, consisting of Past Chancellor G. W. Phellps, Past Grand Chanc A. Dilworth and Past Grand Chan 8. Hamilton, be ppointed to recelve and take into their pos- sfon any and all moneys or properties belonging 1o this grand lodge now in the possession of H. M.

The mother of Senator Nelson scems to have been a woman of courage and resource, for she did not give up coming to America, and when her son was a little more than 6 ars old she borrowed $40 and ailed for New York, arriving there July 4, 1849, She set out at once for Chicago, wh she had a brother, who owned a littie home on what was then known as “The Pein which 1s the locality bounded on the north by Kinzie street, on the south by the river, an on the east by Clark street, and Is now oc- cupled by the Northwestern railway depot and tracks. She left her son with this brother's wife while she sought and obtained a position as housckeeper. He was sent to school with his cousins, and in a few month had mastered the first reader. About this time cholera prevailed in Chicago, and he together with his uncle's entire family, wa prostrated with the discase. He alone sur vived, and when he recovered he went to live with a Norweglan family in the northwestern part of the city, doing all sorts of odds and ends of houserold work, including dishwash- ing, for his board. While living with thi family one of the sons, who carried news- papers, fell ill and he took his route, and it was in this way he earned his first money. HIS BARLY BOYHOOD. In 1850 he went with his mother to Wai- worth county, Wisconsin, and located on an unproductive little sand farm between Pal- myra and Coldwater. Crude, poor, and un promising as was everything connected with his surroundings at this time, it was here that he received the Inspiration of his life, During three months of each year Miss Mary B. Dillon, a cultivated, refined and highly educated Irish woman, taught the dis- trict school. It was an eccentric fate that brought ths little, poor, ignorant Norwegian boy and this woman, who had all her iife hal access to the best the world affords in the way of educational advantages, together. She was the daughter of a wealthy Irish queens ware manufacturer, who failed in the financial crisis of 1847. The family came to America and went out into_the wilds of Wisconsin to make their living on a farm. They would have fafled utterly but for the efforts of Miss Dillon, who, withal, had great force of char- acter and executive ability. As all her pupils were little Norwegian boys and girls, many of whom could not speak English, It was necessary for her to learn Norweglan, but not one word of any other language than English would she permit spoken in the school room. In speaking of her Senator Nelson said: “She was the most remarkabls woman 1 ever knew. Fitted as she was to fill any po- sition, however exalted or exacting, she yet devoted herself with the utmost singleness of purpose to the | Mttle, Nora weglan children who gathered in that old log schoolhouse. She made our ink and quill pens and taught us the amenities of 1ife and a thousand other things which were not in the hooks “Outside of the schoolroom ¥ was anything but a model. I was born a turbulent fellow and was always ready to fight at the drop of the hat. Mary Dillon was often obliged to whip me three times a day, but that d:d not alter my liking for her, for she was always just and generous. I was, notwithstanding the acerbity of my temper, her favorite pupil, for I was orderly and industrious in the schogl room and never failed to have my lossons. So it transpired that when the short school term closed it was arranged that I should go every Saturday to Miss Dillon's home and recite certain lessons. These were among the hap- plest days of my life. She was a woman of taste and an admirable cook and there were flowers and such a dinner as 1 never dreamed of until T went there. Then, when the lessons were over, she used to tell me stories made up of the leading historical events of the world. In this way at the end of two years I had quite a knowledge of history, was reading in the fifth reader, was well advanced in other studies and had acquired a taste for learning and was determined to gain an edu catlon.” As long as she lived Senator Dillon corre- sponded with Mary Dillon, and when he was elected to congress she was for some time 2 his guest. She predicted when he was a boy that he would not only be a congress- man, but a senator, and it was with feeling that'Senator Nelson said that, although she was an aged woman when she died, and he had reason to be grateful that she lived to see part of her prediction fulfilled, it still would have given him the keenest satisfac- tion if she could have lived until her proph- ccy was wholly verified. After her death Miss Dillon's Lrother sent Senator Nelson a big parcel, which, when opened, proved to be newspaper clippings concerning him which she had been years collecting TRAINING AS A YOUNG MAN. When he was 16 he heard that at Alblon seminary, which was conducted by Seventh Day Baptists, a boy could get an education without money. He at once set out-on a tramp of sixteen miles to see about it. Prof. A. R. Cornwall, who was assistant principai of the school, told him that he would assure him work enough to pay for his room rent, tuition and books if he could manage the rest. Senator Nelson says he often laughs when he thinks of the picture he must have presented when he appeared before Prof Cornwall as one of the new students. Every garment he had on was homespun, as well as homemade. The wagon, drawn by a pair of old oxen, on which was a chest containing his belongings, wood to keep his room warm, and enough cooked food to last him a week was also home made, having sections of big logs, with holes in the center for wheels. In the two years that he attended Albion sem inary he says he did not have, all told, $10 in spara cash. When the war broke out Senator Nelson with twenty of his fellow students, enlisted He served three years, was wounded, taken prisoner at Port Hudson, and camo out a corporal. He then finished his seminary course, read law in Senator Vilas' office at Madison, was admitted to the bar, and elected to the state assembly of Wisconsin before he was 24 years old. Senator Nelson's first nomination, which, as often happens, was equivalent to an elec- tion, was peculiar, He knew nothing of politics, and when the secretary of state, who was a warm personal friend, proposed that he should try for the nomination as an assemblyman he told him be did not know how to go about it. The secretary assured him by promising that if he would get the delegates of his own town of Deer- field he would do the rest. This he under- took to do, and accomplished. There were forty-five votes in all, and on the third bal- lot he received nineteen and his opponent twenty-two, while the rest were scattering. He made up his mind he would cover his defeat by absence, but, as it was with Fred- erick the Grea!, he was recalled just as he was getting away to find his forces victorious. While he was a member of the Wisconsin assembly, to which he was returned a second term, he assisted In electing Matt Carpen- ter o the United States senate. The failure of a bank in 1869 left him, as he says, nothing but a wife and a baby, a horse and buggy and a few law books. The summer of 1871 he went to Minnesota and located at Alexandria. His first office in the state was attorney of Douglas county. He was afterwards state senator, a presidential elictor in 1880, one of the regents of the State university and was elected governor of new Call Monday, when Dress Silks.

The only sport which Senator Nelson enjoys is fishing, which is one reason he is so fond of what 1s known as the “Minnesota park region,” where the beautitul lakes abound with the young black Bass and "M"hhw his country home. This home, which Is on a farm a little more than a mile from Alex- andria, a charming little town of about 3,000 {nhabitants, Is simple and unpretentious, as is Senator Nelson himself in all he does ‘and says. In speaking of his fondness for fishing he says: “I am an old-fashioned fisherman. Just a strong pole, a line, hook and bait is all 1 want, and 1 like it quite as well when the fish don’t bite as when they do, for I am fond of thinking when I am fishing and I do not care to be interrupted too often.” A great believer in the genius of hard work, Senator Nelson is indefatigably indus- trious. He is just now devoting himself to the history of finance. He has a prodigious memory, a way of putting things into a very brief space, a clear idea of the different finan- clal systems that have obtained and are now in operation throughout the world. Unlike the large majority of people at the present time, Senator Nelson fs not so much inter- ested In the gold and silver question as in changing the paper currency of the country, which he believes to be one of the most Im’ portant of present issues.

The professor went to the north at the beginning of the season on a special mis- sion for the fish commission and remained on the Copper and Bering islands and at the port of entry for the islands Petro and Pau- lovski throughout the season in which- the seals were killed. “I was at the fsland the last time twelve vears ago, and 1 could hardly realize that the places were the same,” said Prof. Stejne- ger. “The war upon the seals has had a dreadful effect. The herds are noticeably de- pleted. The men interested in the industry are alarmed, for they see in this a dark future. 1 think that the men who have the leases of the islands will be in favor of any mode of protecting the seal which promises to afford any real protection, but they are certainly of the opinion that the present arrangement Is very unsatisfactory. There are representatives of the Russlan govern- ment on the islands 1 last visited and the sealing is done under their supervision. The femzlo seals and the young are not touched. 1 will make a report to the fish com ston at once and in it I will show what a change has come In the sealing industry in ten years. It is really an alarming situation when it Is considered that this most valuable of fur bearing animals is being so rapidly Killed off by the seal hunters who follow the herd wheraver it goes in the southern waters It is to be hoped that an international agr ment will be reached which wili make it p sible to guard the seal, not only on the is- lands, but in the sea.” The steamer Kot which Prof. Stejneger number of seal skins—about on the Russian ielands, and shipped from here to London.

WASHINGTON, Oct, ter, in command of the Asiatic squadron, cabled the Navy department today that he had dispatched a gunboat, the Petrel, from. Chefoo to Chemulpo, the scaport nearest oul, the capital of Corea. The admiral also sent another cable, which has not yet been translated, but is expected to throw light on the reported serious condition of affairs In Corea. The Yorktown already has gone to- Chemulpo, 50 that the United States will have two ships near the gcene of reported conflict, According to unofficial reports, the queen's palace has been invaded by a mob and the queen shot. She has been regarded as the main influence in the progress of Coream affairs, although the king is nominal ruler. The main significance of the present agita- tion is that it reopens the question of Japan's. Influence in Corca. The riots are said to have resulted from conflicts between the Japanese and anti-Japanese elements. Prince Pak, who was driven from Corea for his too zealous adherence to the Japanese cause, called at the Navy department om Thursday and at the State department today. These calls have been speedily followed by the concentration of shing at Chemulpo, but it cannot be learned that this move is due to Prince Pak's representations. The recelpt of the cipher cable and the dispatch of the Petrel tends to confirm the unofficial reports. of riot. During the last disturbance at Seoul, United States marines were landed, as a means of preserving peace and protecting American interests, which, however, are not extensive beyond the United States legation, presided over by Minister Sill, and the United States consulate. The State department has not heard from its representatives at Seoul. Later—Admiral Carpenter's cipher cable sald that affeirs In Seoul are in a very dis- turbed state and tbat officers of what fs known as the “king's parly” have taken refuge in the United States legation building. It is supposed, Admiral Carpenter says, that the queen of Corea has been assassinated. At the urgent demand of the United States charge d'affaires at Seoul, Admiral Carpen- ter says, the marine guard of the cruiser Yorktown in the harbor of Chemulpo was sent to Seoul for the protection of the lega= tion and American interests in general, The admiral also says that as a further protection he ordered the gunboat Petrel to proc from Chefoo to Chemulpo without delay, and that she started this morning. The orders to the Petrel require her to cross the Yellow sea and it is thought she wil} cover the distance in three days at the most, R — Deaths of a I LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 12.—General Wile llam Landram of Lancaster, veteran of the Mexican and civil wars, and a personal friend of General Grant and a man of attainments, 2.—Admiral Carpen= died last night, aged 68 years.
