The Grand Court of Heriones of Jericho for the state and its jurisdiction, will hold its thirteenth annual session in Buxton, June 9, 10 and 11. This society in the past year or more has made wonderful growth and is the strongest organization in the state among the ladies. There are several reasons for believing that this will be the largest attended session in the history of the order in this state. The Grand Matron, Mra. P. A. Jones of Koekuh, said while in this city a few weeks ago, on her annual visit, "the interest in each of the Courts is all that could be expected, and each Court will be represented by from one to six delegates." Mrs. Jones is an excellent lady and has made a splendid Matron. She has been buisy the entire year instructing and advising the Matrons of the different Courts, and as a result each Court will report an increase in membership. It is also expected that a number of distinguished ladies from other states will attend this session. The hospitality of the Buxton people is a guarantee that the visitors will be royally entertained. QUEEN ESTHER. A brief synopsis will refresh our memory of the historic Esther. She was born in Persia 500 years B. C., being an orphan from infancy. She was adopted by her uncle Mordecal, and was afterwards chosen by the King of Bealm to be his wife and Queen. Hamen was Premier and a favorite of the King and hated Mordecal, because he would not worship him as King. Hamen makes a plot and has a scaffold built to hang Mordecal, but the Queen tells the King of the plot and pleads for her uncle. Than the King orders Hamen hung and proclaims Mordecal Premier. The people rejoice. That event has been put in the form of a sacred cantata of five acts and seven scenes, called "Queen Esther," which was rendered by a chorus of about 30 at the A. M. E. church last Tuesday night, under the direction of Prof. Geo. I. Holt. Following is the east: King S. Joe Brown, who sung and acted his part well; Queen, Miss Marie Mash, as that was her debat in a stellar role she was a trifle nervous, which prevented her from singing in her usual graceful manner; Mordecal (dew) G. H. Holt, who is too well known to Des Moines audiences for us to say anything about his acting or singing; Hamani, S. D. Miller, he acted his part in a very acceptable manner; Zereh (Hamani's wife), Miss Besteirice Hicklin, in this as well as all the other principal parts contains some beautiful solos, and Miss Hicklin rendered her nicely; Mordecal's sister, E. M. E. B. Elliston assumed that part. Her singing was very good except her high notes which did not contain enough purity of tones; Median Princess, Miss Olive Smith; Persian Princess Mrs. S. D. Miller; both acted their parts in a very acceptable Manner. Gee, Mason as the High Priest, Hegal and the Beggar did well and in the latter role he received a liberal applause; L. H. Henderson was the Heard and E. B. Elliston the Sotheb, and had their parts well in hand. Ethel Bomer sang her solos very beautiful, as was the duet sung by the King and Persian Princess in the second scene of the first act, and the quartet composed of the Messrs. Holt, Mason and the Misses Hicklin and Bomer in the third scene of act five was very prominent, as their rendition was good and deserved the applause they received. Miss Nina Hamilton was the accompanist. With a larger chorus and upon a larger stage with an orchestra the cantata could be rendered with better effect.

The churches the school houses and other public buildings were thrown opened and the various charitable clubs and women's relief clubs, the city council and other clubs responded immediately and went to work clothing, feeding, sheltering and comforting the many homeless. The many horrible stories told of the suffering, and to see families leaving their homes in boats with little clothing and drenched in the pouring rain and even little babies born in the flooded homes who was forced to move, the scene was one indiscreible for only those who seen these acts can tell and reports show that the condition was even worse in Kansas City and Topeka where many lives were lost; among the colored people who lived in the bottoms and lost their gardens and other things were, Waddy Calloway, Albert Moss, Geo. Taylor, Washington Williams, Gus Comley, Wm. Smith, A. M. Midgett, Chas. Mash, Monroe Anderson, A. L. Lucus, R.

"The old saying that nothing is too small to steal is exemplified in our business," said a manufacturer of custom-made clothing. "Our thread gave a merchant of nothing. We have to keep a watchful eye upon it. The case in which it is kept is under the supervision of our most trusted employee. If he chose to be dishonest he could rob us of $5,000 a year and we would be none the wiser. We would have no matter. We have using more thread than usual, but the excess might be attributed to other causes. "We have to check out every spool we give to our tailors. Even at this we are in danger of having a cheaper grade substituted. The difference in the price of the spools may be only one or two cents, but it offers a temptation if the scheme can be worked on a large scale. Some years ago we were forced to the conclusion that was being operated to pose of stack the spools. The spools were sold by peddlers from house to house. This suspicion caused large establishments to have each spool stamped with dyes which cut into the wood, stating that the thread was stolen from such and such a shop, the name of which was stamped on the spool." ALL DIED OUT OF BED. Curse on Zborowski Family Finda Another Victim. That Elliot Zborowski, who was killed on Tuesday in an auto accident at Nice, died as he did, will be no surprise to those in this city who remember him as the greatest daredevil New York and Newport society ever had. Even Foxhall Keene, who has had half the bones in his body, was killed by a police officer American count for his wild, reckless disregard for life. He was born in this city of a long line of Zborowski. Strangely enough, his death is in keeping with the traditions of his family, for none of the male members ever died in bed. Back of this remarkable circumstance is a tale of a curse four generations ago launched at the head of the great-greatfather of Elliot Zborowski, a rich boy who later was called upon heaven to prevent any male Zborowski from ever dying in his bed. None has since. Elliot's father was stricken with paralysis and died in his chair before the son could fride for a physician. One of his uncles Elliot, was killed by a New York, New Haven & Hartford train. Another, Francis, was drowned in a Williamsbridge pond. Still another member of the family was killed by being thrown from a horse, and so the story has gone. Now comes the crushing of this generation's representative in a twentieth century accident—New York World. In This Gilded Age. Now it's to be a $7,500,000 hotel in New York to the Man who went to the Waldorf-Astoria and was afraid to put his boots outside the door of his room lest the porter would gild 'em will have renewed occasion for apprehension.

Des Mines, June 4—Flood sufferers began moving back into the water soaked houses in the bottom land yesterday. Transfer wagons were as great demand as they were when the floods lasted, and ever, who were unable to get their goods out of their homes began houses keeping today with less than they have ever owned before in their lives. They were able to move the houses, many of which have from three to ten inches of mud on the floors. In many instances the window lights are broken out and plaster is missing. They are doing a reinforcement foundations, restoring fences and sidewalks and outbuildings which have floated down stream. Several houses have been broken down, smashed against them by the current work of moving back into the flooded district will take several weeks. Scores will not move back at all. On every hand the stricken people are moving to a new city, county and state officials looking towards the strength of the levees.

Grocery stores and meat shops were opened up in the flooded district yesterday, and the fire departments put back in the stations. By night it is estimated that one thousand homes have been burned again in the district which has been twice drowned out within a year. CONTROL FT. DODGE LINE. Big Change in the Directory of the Road. Des Moines, June 5.—As was anticipated, Edwin S. Hooley, president of the Evansville & Terre Haute railway, and also a stock broker in New York, will be among the stockholders of the Des Moines & Ft. Dodge railway in this city yesterday afternoon. In railroad company offices, he will mean the relinquishment of line by the Rock island, which has been operating it under a lease, and SECTION OF EAST LOCUST STREET, D the taking charge of it by the illinois Central.

No action was taken beyond the date of adjournment being Mr. Carroll Wright, attorney for the Rock Island in Iowa, refused to discuss the situation last night beyond making the statement that he did not believe the result would affect the Rock Island.

The bonds and lease expire in the next month, and are stockholders of the Rock Island. The Des Moines & Ft. Dodge road was built a number of years ago by local promoters.

The presidential train, despite the crowds, proceeded through that state on schedule time and entered Council Bluffs at an early hour yesterday morning. There the president was joined by Secretary Shaw, who met him on his way to Denison, the secretary's home. The meeting at Denison was a tribute to the secretary of the treasury and the townmen as well as to the president, the townman and the book-cassion in his address to give his appreciation of the services rendered by Secretary Shaw and other olows witnessed with the national government. From Denison the Illinois Central carried the executive's special, and its run across the state was made on Monday.

Des Moines, June 3.—The executive council at a meeting yesterday appropriated the balance of the money in the providential contingent fund, $4,000, for the relief of the institution for feeble minded at Glenwood. This money, with the sum that the board of control will scrape together, will, it is thought, keep the institution running in a fairly satisfactory manner. Chairman Cowie, of the appropriate control, said yesterday that with the $4,000 appropriated, the board would probably be able to get a total of $5,000 together for repairs. This he thought, could be made to suffice. The sum of $1,500 for boiler house repairs appropriated by the last general assistant would be also about $1,000 appropriated for plumbing custodian building. Small appropriations for a deep well pump and for a generator will also be used. NO SPECIAL SESSION. Would Not Effect Immediate Relief For The People. Des Moines, June 4—There will be no extra session of the state legislature on account of the floods. The city, council of Des Moines passed a resolution asking for a special session that some law might be passed under which the city might make a special levy for dykes and thus give employment to a large number of men. The matter was looked up today and it may that any measure the legislature might make into force until after the next session of the legislature, and no tax levy could be collected and made use of this year. It would therefore be just as well to wait for the regular session to call the council committee has not yet called the council to make formal request for a special and the governor will not take it up until the council presents its pain.

Monastir, Europe, Turkey, June 5. —Horrible details are arriving here of the slaughter of the inhabitants of the village of Smerdash, south of Lake Presba, May 21, by Bashi-B佐鞍.

The Maria Theresa maler has for generations been current, but for want of a smaller coinage salt blocks became the standard of exchange, and resisted all efforts, even of the emperor, to replace them by a new currency. The salt blocks Paris some years ago, the salt blocks which, but not to the new coinage which the people will not touch. The new standard of values is—the rife cartridge. The late Paul du Challau was on one occasion asked why he had never married. "Well, once upon a time," he answered, without a smile, "an old African king who was very fond of me offered me my choice of eight hundred and fifty-three women as a wife. 'Your majesty,' I replied, 'I should marry one of the beauties of yours there would be eight hundred and fifty-three women here.' 'Well,' replied the king, "that is easily settled, too strong for me, however, and as I have never had such a field to choose from since, I am still a bachelor."

When the maid appeared in the room, she exclaimed: "Susette, I am so cold; please get me another string of pearls." Salvatore Cortesi, in a very readable article in the World's Work on King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, says that after the assassination of his father, Queen Margherita was very anxious that King Humbert should be buried at the Superga at Turin, where the set of his tomb was located, with the deception of the great Victor Emmanuel. Moreover, her majesty did not wish to wound the susceptibilities of the papal party by a state funeral. The king ordered the room where the Queen was, exclaiming: "Well, that is arranged—my father will have a fiting burial in the Pantheon." "Victor, cried his mother, "I see you want to be lionized with your ligion as well as my affections." "I am sorry, mother," se said gently, and am sorry, mother, "he said gently, and which is offended at a martyr being killed, his own wife. You offend my beside his own father needs radical changes."
