B KANSAS CITY, June 11.—Not since the Democratic National Convention have so many visitors from all parts of the United Statez been in Kansas City as are gath- ered here to attend the twenty-seventh national meeting of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Gorgeously appareled Arabs have illumined the streets ali day. ‘With morning and night parades, a ses- sion of the Imperial Council and sightsee- ing, the Shriners have spent an exceed- ingly busy day. The imperial officers were escorted from the Hotel Baltimore to the Standard Theater this morning by all the uniformed Shriners and a large number of Shriners in carriages. Arter the welcoming speeches at the theater all but delegates were excluded and the coun- cil entered upon its business of consider- ing the reports of the officers and commit- tees. The session adjourned at 1 p. m. until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning, when officers will be elected and the next place of meeting chosen. Shriners Parade Streets. Beautiful weather favored the Shriners. The official ceremonies began this morn- ing, when the nobles were accorded a muitary escort irom their headquarters to the Standard Theater.

The downtown streets were given over to-night to ‘brass bands and marching Shripers, in brilliant Oriental costumes, with an acdompaniment of fireworks and | the booming of mortars. The splendor of the costumes of the Arab patrols was enhanced by the electric lights and by the set off by the Topeka Flam- beau Club, which led the procession. Ararat Temple of this city furnished one of the most attractive features of parade. The regular patrol of Ararat | Temple was garbed in velvet, satin and The other organizations were no less brilliantly arraved in purple and scarlet, chrome vellow and ultramarine blue, and all the extreme tints in the cate- gory of colors were seen. Some of the t bands in the country were in the pro- on and the strains of martial music were continuous. Unique Features Presented. A unique feature of the parade was the India Temple patrol from Oklahoma City, which indulged in t regular intervals. The Zuhroh Temple's patrol from Minneapolis was also in special favor with the crowds. Perhaps the most picturesque division of was_the mounted patrol of Washington, D. C. This patrol, each member of which wore the costume of an fine cloth. Arad Shiek, belongs to the Almas Temple.

The entire arena floor was set apart for the maneuvers of the patrols and after giving an exhibition of fancy drilling they marched out through the north end of the building.

No men were admitted other than those having to do with the management of the entertain- ment. CYCLIETS IN COLLISION AND ONE IS KILLED | John L. Geary of Vallejo Crashes Into 2 Fellow-Wheelman While Riding Home. VALLEJO, June 1l.—John L. Geary was killed Monday evening while riding home on a bicycle. Just before reaching Florida street he acquired considerable speed and was startled to see John Sides riding down Florida street on a wheel aching at right angles. With rning to Sides Geary at- de a collision. but failed a result of the impact he was over the handle bars of his wheel. He struck the ground with a force that knocked him senseless, and he died soon afterward. Geary, who was the son of M. J. Geary, was 20 years of age. Sides. with whom Geary collided, was not injured. i b Contesting Their Mother’s Will. SAN JOSE, June 11.—The selection of jurors to try the contest of the will of Olive V. Paine, deceased, began in Judge Hyland's court to-day. The testator died y in 1900, and left her entire estate of $12,000 to William A. Paine, a son. Two other children, J. M. Paine and Mrs. Mary Hobbs, were cut off without a dol- lar. In her will Olive Paine states she ig- nored them because money would not conduce to their welfare. The contestants allege unsoundness of mind and undue in- fluence.

The meeting was called to order by George Merritt, chairman of the enter- | tainment committee. After prayer had £ The report of the latter showed that the asscciation has $224 35 in {ts treasury, that there are 625 members and that the offictal organ has over 900 subscribers. A resolution was introduced pledging the members not to discuss on the floor of the convention the questions of wages, hours of toil or the conditions of - their service. A_nominating committee consisting of J. L. Walsh, F. H. Hoadley and C. M. Coomer was appointed. A trolley car was placed at the disposal of the wives and daughters of the visiting FLOWERS wom been offered by the Rey. Edgar J. Lion, pastor of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, | Mayor James D. Phelan was introduced and welcomed the visiting trainmen to the hospitality of the city. The sayor dwelt on_the brilliant prospects of this city and State, attributing the major part of their possibilities to the transconti- nental raiiroads. In speaking of maiters pertaining to the convention he paid a tribute to the train dispatchers, “‘the men into whose hands are entrusted the lives of the traveling public.” Secretary and Treasurer J. F. Mackle made an appropriate response to the Mayor's words of welcome, saying that thie hospitality of California is famed all over the Union, but that he did not ap- preciate its real extent until he had reached Los Angeles on his way to the convention. After innumerable congratulatory let- ters and telegrams from prominen. raul- road officials and absent members of the association had been read the convention got _down to business. President J. R. Lusk presented his annual report, Show- ing that during the past year the associa- tion has increased in membership and in financial standing, and suggesting several valuable changes in the system of con- ducting business. Just before the con- vention adjourned for the noon recess over fifty candidates for membership who had presented their applications were voted into the association. Altkough considerable business was ac- complished during the morning session, practically nothing was done in the after- noon, The time was spent listening to technical reports, giving the glad hand to eaci other and complimenting the sccre- tary and treasurer, J. F. Mackie, for the manner in which he has conducted the official organ of the association. Criticism for Editor’s Policy. Only once was the tranquillity of the proceedings disturbed. J. W. James did not join in the general congratulations which were being bestowed on Editor Mackie, but instead read a paper criticlz- ing his policy. e friends of Editor Mackie had got wind of Mr. James' in- tended speech, and when he rose to de- liver it they interposed many obfectlons. A torrid time reigned for a short interval. Mr. James’ friends claimed that liberty of 'speech was being suppressed, while Editor Mackie’'s partisans wanted to have the speech first referred to the executive committee so that objectionable features might be stricken out. When Mr. James was finally allowed to have his say the apprehension of Mr. Mackie's friends proved not to be warranted. The speech contained some very timid criticism and wound up with an appeal to the delegates lg e{llecl the speaker in Editor Mackie's stead. Reports were received from the train rules commiitee, the executive committe and Secretary and Treasurer J. F. Mackie.

Burt, the former Smith. College student, on eleven counts for the larceny of money and jewelry. .She was arraigned before Judge Plerce and on motion of counsel waived the reading of the indictment and pleaded not guilty, retracting her plea of guilty in the lower court. Counsel asked for a con- tinuance and for moderate bail. Judge Pierce named $1000. Mr. Burt, the father, produced sureties, and with his wife and daughter left, accompanied by Dr. Mary Brewster, the Smith College physician. Miss Burt seemed quite nervous, but did_ not break down. Her mother was in tears during the proceedings. In an interview Mr. Burt said that he would return to Bridgeport, N. J., and that he would place his daughter in a sanitarium in Pennsylvania. Regarding the alleged departure of two young men from the city, the police say there has been no action looking to further arrests in the case. It was also said that the ‘Worcester police had obtained from one of the young men a ,$150 ring which he had admitted he had received from Miss | Burt, and which_has been identified since its return by a Smith College student as her property.

MINNG KIS HEET N A LEGAL BHTTE Story of Intrigue and Fraud’ Back of a Suit Filed in Idaho. —_— MOSCOW, Idako, June 11.—A sensa- tlonal mining suit was filed in the United States Circuit Court here to-day. It is a ‘battle of the giants. On one side are pitted_Patrick Clark, the noted mining man of Spokane, and a' group of /associ- ates; on the other, Charles Sweeny, the well-known Spokéne operator; F. R. Cul- bertson, another well-known Spokane min- ing man, and two big corporations mining in Idaho and operating financially in New York City. Clark and associates charge Sweeny and_ Culbertson with swindling | them out of two mining claims in the Couer d'Alenes, valued at $1,000,00. They sue for the recovery of these claims, for a recelvership thereof, for an injunction restraining defendants from extracting ore from the disputed ground and for an accounting for ore already extracted, which is valued at about $500,000. - The complaint is an interesting stery of alleged intrigue, falsehood and misrepre- sentation by which it is claimed the in- Jured owners of the disputed claims were induced to part with property valued at $1,000,000 for a_consideration of $4000. ‘The disputed claims adjoin the Tiger- Poorman mine at Burke, Idaho.. Clark and the other complaihants allege that Sweeny and Cuibertson unlawfully ex- plored the disputed ground by means of diamond drills, operated at.a depth of 1600 feet; that they located a great ore chute, broke.into it. extracted ore and paid dividends and then bought the claims for $4000 on the alleged false repre- sentation that the ground was no good. e Reappointment of W.

It was the péssing of a reso- lution making a serles of charges against A. S. Humphreys, first judge of the Cir- cuit Court of the First Judicial circuit of the territory. Remarkably enough for lawyers, many of whom had been on the bench, they found the accused guilty in the preamble and asked for a com- mittee of investigation in the main part of the resolution. The first clause of the preamble states that Judge Humphreys “has continued sinee his appointment to publish and con- trol a partisan newspaper, and has taken and continues to take an active part and leadership in bitter political controversies in this territory.” The second “‘whereas” is that the judge “has used his position on the bench for his own personal and political ends.” Thirdly, “the said Hon. A. S. Humph- reys has been arrogant and insulting in his_conduct toward members of the bar, and has abused his powers over attorneys and others appearing before his court.” And, lastly, “‘the course of said Hon. A. S. Humphreys since his appointment to the bench has destroyed the confidence of the bar in his administration of justice.” It is then first resolved, “That the Bar Association of the Hawailan Islands deems it absolutely necessary in the inter- ests of the administration of justice in this territory that said A. S. Humphreys be removed from the office of judge.” Then it is resolved to appoint a com- mittee of five members to take depositions and statements of members of the associ- ation and others regarding the conduct and acts of Judge Humphreys, also to formulate charges against him, all of ‘which incriminating material is to be pre- sented by one or more members of the committee to the President and the Attor- ney General of the United States. Make Appeal for Fair Play. After a dozen or more speeches the resolution was carried by a vote of 37 to 7. The following amendment, moved by F. M. Hatch, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister to Washington, was negatived by practically the same vote: “Resolved, That the Bar Association of the Hawailan Islands deprecates the atti- tude of Hon. A. S. Humphreys toward the attorneys of his court as an infringement of the right of every lawyer to practice law fearlessly and independently in the in- terests of his client.” Mr. Hatch, in proposing his amendment, said he appealed for fair play and that it seemed to him that at best “the fight was largely one between newspapers.” The Bar Association, as a matter of fact, had very little to do with it. He hoped the fight would be lefi with the news- papers, where it had started and where it_still 'belonged. Powerful specches were made against the resolution by T. McCants Stewart, an American colored man, Frank E. Thomp- son, J. Alfred Magoon and former Judge Stiliman. Instead of the matter being fought out by the newspapers, as Mr. Hatch claimed, since the morning after the meeting— when both the Advertiser, which had been bitterly attacking Judge Humphreys for months in letterpress and cartoon, and the Republican devoted pages to the re- port and comments—the papers have had very little to say upon the controversy. To-morrow, however, the Republican DR. KILMER’S SWAMP-ROOT. HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an un- Fealthy condition of the kidmeys; if it stains the linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it. or pain in the back, Is also convineing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort im the Knowledge so often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the great kidney and bladder rem- edy, fulfills every wish in curing rheuma- tism, pain in the back, kidneys, lfver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the ex- traordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by drugsgists in fifty- cent and one-dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle of Swamp-Root and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.

When writing mention that you read this generous offer in the San Francisco Daily Call. —_— will give special prominence to a charge that the offensive affidavit, for which Judge Humphreys on the Saturday pre- vious to the bar meeting sentenced Messrs. Hartwell, Kinney and lou to thirty days for contempt, was designed witk deliberation for the purpose of irri- tating the Judge into committing some ju- dicial act of reprisals that would form a peg upon which to hang accusations. Judge Humphreys will leave for San Francisco with his wife about the 15th of this month. Grand Jury Still in Session. The Thurston habeas corpus case is now pending before Chief Justice Frear on briefs. If it should hang fire until the Grand Jury term is over, the resuit will be the avoidance of the imprisonment clause of the sentence, but as that end has already probably been secured by Mr. Thurston’s previously reported divul- gence of his client’s name to the Grand Jury, the delay in the Supreme Court has no_importance. ‘When the Grand Jury will adjourn was made a fresh uncertainty yesterday. The jury came into court and informed the Judge that they had, after eighteen days’ work, prepared a report on the legisla- tive bribery matter. This they presented. Since preparing the report, however, they had been given the names of new wit- nesses. Judge Humphreys directed that the report be placed on the secret flles un- til the Grand Jury reported the result of their examinations of the additional wit- nesses. This turn of events came about curious- ly. A reporter of the Advertiser talked outside about some fresh revelations that paper was going to make to-day upon the bribery matter. It had secured a witness to an actual transaction in legislative cor- ruption. This came to the ears of the Grand Jury and among the new witnesses it transpired yesterday the Advertiser staff was represented. Home Rule Envoy Beckley, on reappear- ing in the House from his mission to San Francisco, gave a verbal report of his in- terviews with President McKinley of identical tenor to the statements he made before his departure to the San Francisco press. e House since his return has been working diligently on the appropria- tion bill. It is observing to some extent the advice of the President. through Mr. Beckley. to ‘make ‘“economy” the watch- word without starving the Governoment. A 1pajority report of the Military Com- mittée in the Senate recommends the striking out of the entire appropriations for the Hawailan National Guard. The Senate adjourned before deciding the question yesterday. A man seldom does his best unless he is working for himself. A customer asks, “How can you make a good suit to order for $10.002"” We say, “Of course you cannot expect a $20.co <uit for $10.00, but the suit is most cer- tainly worth $10.00—it’s your money’s full worth. It is really more—the suits equal the usual $15.00 garments, but we don’t say this often. Rathep have people find it out for themselves when they Luy, then they- believe it. As to how good thes suit is: we will agree to keep it in repair free for a year, or give you back your money in the first place if you are dissatisfied.” The suit .must be pretty good to s'and such a liberal guarantee.
