The Country club golfers had an easy match with ths Fleld club yesterday after- noon on the latter's links they taking the Field club into camp to the tune of § to & on the number of matched pairs won. Boorer Bherwood matched the players as they came on the tes for the game and started them off at 2 o'clock. The Field club men started away in a canter and for & while it looked as if they would finish ®ach pair with from four to five up. The Country club men gave as & reason for their opponents walking away from them &t the start that the greens were in poor shape and were too rough. However, the play had not proceeded far until the Coun- try club braced up in the game and it began to show where the Fleld club wa beginning to fall off. In all eighteen holes were played and it was getting dark when the last matched pair came up on the home green for final play. R. R. Kimball of the Country club ‘walked off of the links with the best score, being five up against his opponent, Harry Morrill, who 18 considered the best player in the Field club. Bherwood and Bartack eame in even up, as did Rohm and Lowrie and McCormick and Sheridan. These threo pairs started to play an extra nine-hole #ame to play off the tle, but as the contest ame only called for an elghteen-hole game this d1d not count. The hagzard formed by & string of frelght cars on the Belt Line caused quite a bit of trouble and on the return round a number of balls were lost. Sprague made two beautiful cuts through & clump of trees while playing from the seventeenth hole to the home green. Some ot the finishes caused much gossip among the players who had already finished, and who stood walting to see just what the final score would be. Kimball had a lead of three over his oppoilent by winning the elghth, ninth and eleventh holes, and wound up even better, by taking the six- teenth and seventeenth holes. Lemist made two bad slices into the woods on the other side of the Mnks, about the seventh hole, and lost on the home green to his op- ponent, Campbell. The finishes were ex- citing, In that the score swayed back and forth as each pair came In, and until the sixteenth pair landed, it was nip and tuck. Caddles were there in abundance and in fact, they were too numerous, and had to | be ordered off the links seversl times, on | account o1 hindering the play.

LOUIS, Sept General held a long conference today with Attorney General Crow relative to the proceedings now under way by the Unfted States gov- ernment to confiscate the Merchants' Lridg» over the Mississippl river, now a part of the Terminal Raflroad association, and operated jointly with the Eads brid Recently Attorndy General Crow flled sult to disrupt the so-called terminal com- bine, his petition for a writ of quo warranto setting forth that the fourteen rallroad companies comprising the terminal associa- tion had conspired to control the terminal facilities of St. Louls. This action was brought under the section of the Missouri constitution which forbids the consolida= tion of competing raflroad lines.

The Two-Edge Manufacturing company, which has had fts factory in Kansas City since its organization a year ago, has ar- ranged to move its plant to Omaha at once, and expects to be running by No- vember 1. The company manufactures grinding machines and controls a number of vaiuable patents. A. M. McLeran, its vice president and general manager, has been in the city for ten days, during which time he has completed the negotiations for meving to Omaha and has interested con- local capital. A stockholders’ meeting has been called for the election of new officers, among whom will b several Omaha men. Mr. McLerah himselt will continue the active management of the business, with which he is thoroughly fa- millar. It has been necessary to let outside con- tracts to flll the orders already on hand, but the company will have & factory with a capacity for filling all orders after the first of the year. Mr. McLeran will return to Omaha in about two weeks to select a factory location and the machinery will be installed at once. THE REPUBLICAN FORUM. OMAHA, Sept. 2.—To the Editor of The Bee: In the impending campaign for county offices the writer is quite certain that the better candidates will be found on the republican ticket. Among the best can- didates who have been spoken of for the important office of assessor Mr. Harry D. Reed occuples a prominent position. The undersigned has known Mr. Reed in an of- ficlal capacity connected with real estate matters for more than twenty years. No man In this county can be more thoroughly conversant with real estate descriptions | nor with the values of land in Omaha and | Doug! county than Mr. Reed. Indeed it may be sald that he has been raised from childhood in the business involving real estate values. If he be the cholce of the republican party for assessor there Is hardly any question about his election, and in that event the county wiil have an of- ficer whose valuable knowledge, persevering industry and unswerving Integrity will guarantee the very best work for the pub- le. JOHN RUSH. OMAHA, Sept. 26—To the Editor of The Bee: Kindly permit the publication of a few words regarding the all-absorbing question of selecting a republican ticket that can win this fall. With few excep- tlons everyone agrees that political wisdom demands that different elements of the voters in the county should be recognized as much as possible and undoubtedly this sentiment will result in the selection of & republican ticket having many elements of strength. The laboring people make up & considerable percentage of the votng popu- lation of Douglas county, and while the local organizations make na demands for representation on any ticket, yet the nomi- nation of a prominent laboring man on the republican ticket cannot fall to be ap- preciated. A. J. Donahoe, better known as “Tony,” one of the candidates for the nomination for sherift of Douglas county at the hands of the republican party, whilo asking for the nomination solely on his record as a republican, is at the same time a prominent member of organized labor, belng a mem- ber of the Order of Rallway Conductors and the Switchmen, and also belng at the head of the Nebraska State Soclety of Labor and Industry, one-of the most con- servative labor organizations in the coun- try and yet at the same time one of the Mr. Dona- hoe has served the republican party long and faithfully and many active repub- { licans belleve he s the strongest man for the nomination for sheriff by the repub- licans. Reasons too numerous to mention herewith prompt me to say that A. J. Donahoe is the logical republican for the nomination for sheriff, and while I shall of course do all in my powdr to elect whoever is nominated, It is my candid opinion that neither of the other candi- dates can successfully cope with either of the men the democrats are at present considering for the nomination for sheriff, A. J. Donahoe posscsses many elements of strength, and with them all cofbined he can be elected sherift iIf given the nomination. As a starter permit me to say that he is not now holding an office, Is not a chronic office secker, has never sought an office before, and did not con- sent to run for the office of sheriff until he had been solicited by scores of his triends, and then only after months of serlous consideration of the matter on his part CHARLES W. FEAR. OMAHA, Sept. 2%.—To the Editor of The Bee: We understand that you desire an expression of opinion from the business men In regard to the candidates for clerk of the distriet court. We have known Harry B. Morrell for a number of years and consider him eminently qualified for the position. Yours truly, H. 8. WELLER. OMAHA, Sept. %.—To the Editor of The Bee: I take ploasure in endorsing the can- didacy of Mr. Harry B. Morrell for elerk of the district cowt. Having known him personally for many years, I belicve him to be eminently fitted for the office. Yours truly, JAY D, FOSTER. %.—Judge Advocate | Davis of the War department, ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM ’ The month of October will be a very in- teresting one for the higher orders of Ma- sonry, the entire month being given over to some of the conventions and counclis of the order. The first meeting will be that of the gen eral grand council of the Royal and Select Masters of the United States, which con venes at Little Rock, Ark October & This dody is composed of three representa- tives from each state in the union, the rep- resentatives being the three highest offt cers of the grand councll of the various states—the grand master, the deputy grand master and the grand principal conductor | ot the work. They leglslate for the order | throughout the United States and, while | the order is one which does not appear prominently before the public on ordinary occasions, Its meetings are of much in- terest to the craft at large, especially as there Is a growing sentiment throughout the grand jurisdictions to make member- ship In the councll prerequisite to member- ship in the chapter of Royal Arch Masons. The second meeting of national im- portance will be the grand chapter of Royal Arch Masons, which will convene at Litu Rock, October 16, it being understood that the grand council will complete its work in one day. This body is composed of the grand high priests, grand king and grand scribes of the various grand chapters of the sqveral states of the union, and its sesstons are generally longer than the meetings of the grand couneil for the reason that the | chapter 1s one of the required degrees In tfie York rite previous to taking the high- est degrees of the Templars, 1t is seldom that there is a full repre- sentation at the meetings of the general grand council and the general grand chap- ter, one of the grand officers of the state usually representing his fellows and vot- ing the entire strength of his jurisdiction. This course has been pursued in the case of Nebraska this year, Judge Gustay An- derson being deputized to represent this state at both meetings. He will leave for Little Rock Friday. Before the judge returns to Omaha he will have attended a far more Important meeting than elther of these, the biennial session of the supreme council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottlsh Rite, which will convene October 19, at Washington, D. C., the judge being one of the twenty- four men who are entitled to & volce and vote In this body. As he is a member of the committee on foreign relations, he must be in Washington some days before the opening of the council and will be at head- quarters October 12, remaining there dur- ing the sessions, which will probably con- tinue for two or three weeks. Something of more than usual interest centers around the coming meeting of the grand councfl, because of the probability of an increase in the membership of that body. Under its constitution there can be but thirty-five active members of the body, who are known as Inspectors general. At the last counell there were twenty-six mem- bers, -which fs as many as there has ever been, the constitutional limitation having never been reached since the organization of the grand councll of the southern juris- diction, which Includes all of the United Btates outside of that portion bounded on the south by the Ohio river and on the west by the Mississippl river. This sec- tion s under the jurisdiction of the grand council of the northern jurisdiction, which held its meetings in Boston last week. Two of the Inspectors gencral having dled within the last two years, it is prob- able that kuccessors will be elected, while, on account of renewed mctivity in some parts of the country, it Is possible that the number will be inereased above twenty-six. In this matter it s impossible to make a forecast, as the inspectors are so widely scattered that they seldom confer except at the blennial meetings. It is understood, however, that the vacancy in North Da- kota will be filled, as well as the vacancy in the state of Washington, as those grand jurisdictions are very active and require the presence of a thirty-third degree mason. The forelgn relations committee will have some Interesting things to consider and the ever present “French situation” may not be the least of them. At the last blennial council the Mexican grand lodge matter was settled satisfactorily and the Mexicans have put themselves in good shape before the Masonic world. The “French situation” is not of such easy solution, as it is a matter of public knowl- edge that there is considerable divergence of opinion as to the merits of the case and even locally there are those who raise a word of defense for France, Nebraska lodge No. 1, Knights of Py- thias, will recommend to the new grand chancellor to be elected next month, the name of Dr. Roy A. Dodge for appoint- ment, as deputy grand chancellor, At the coming grand lodge the representatives from No. 1 will urge united action on the part of the knights of the state looking to- ward the enactment of a law similar to that of other states making it a misdemeanor to wear the emblem of an order unless a member. The next grand lodge Is to be held at Lincoln, October 13 and 14, The delegates from No, 1 are Meinrad Wulpi, George A. Magney, W. T. Denny and Will C. Matthews. A temporary organization looking toward the formation of a company of the Uni- torm Rank Knights of Pythias was effected at the hall of Nebraska lodge No. 1 last Monday night. The officers elected were: Captain, John W. Malone; first lleutenant, Dr. Roy A. Dodge; second lieutenint, John N. Dennis; recorder, Will C. Matthews; treasurer, A. 8. Kelley. Committees were appointed to report on uniforms and by- laws Monday night at 7:30, The grand lodge, Independent Order of 04d Fellows of Nebraska will be held at Lincoln, October 19-24. Rallroads have granted a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip. Beech camp No. 464, Modern Woodmen of America, gave a soclal and high fiv party to its members and friends the even- ing of Beptember % Omaha camp No. 120, Modern Woodmen of America, Inaugurated its series of soclal meetings the eveming of the 16th, which was largely attended and very enjoyable. These soclal mectings will be given the third Wednesday of each month. Members of this lodge visited camp No. TIs1 last Wednesday evening and all report a splen- did time. The Modern Woodmen of America pro- motion committee met Monday night last at Judge Baldwin's office In the Patterson block and outlined a plan of campaign to assist in bringing the order up to the million mark for Milwaukee. Ivy camp No. 2, Royal Nelghbors of America, expects to give a card party on October 7. Additional features will be added to the evening’s program to make the affair a pleasant one, Magnolia camp No. 1833, Modern Woodmen of America, having had Its hall remodelea has appointe® a committee to prepare an entertainment for the members.

It is calculated that enforcement of the pro- posed measure would drive at least 125 men out of employment and compel them to either leave the city or enter new voca- tiops.
