ELKS' CASE THROWN OUT.
Court Quashes Suit of White Order vs. O. R. Johnson.
He is the Man Who Was Arrested for Wearing an Elk Pin on the Streets of New York—Defended by Manhattan Lodges No. 5 and 45 and Brooklyn Lodge No. 32—O'Reilly and Wheaton His Counsel—Decision Important.
On April 2, Mr. O. R. Johnson, an Afro-American, a member of Manhattan lodge, No. 45, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, was arrested on the streets of New York for wearing his Elk pin. He was taken before Magistrate Baker, of the Essex Market court, who ordered a change of venue tothe United States court, under Magistrate Whitman. He first demanded the badge of the order, which was immediately furnished as Exhibit No. 1.
From time to time the case was adjourned, until on June 19, it was called in the court of General Sessions before Magistrate McKean, presiding, assisted by Magistrates Deuel and Olmstead. After arguments pro and con by counsel, the case was thrown out of court, as having no status.
The plaintiff was the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States, the white organization; and more than 300 white Elks were in the court room.
The Negro Elks were represented by Counselors Dan O'Reilly, exDistrict Attorney, and J. Frank Wheafon; and S. P. Jones, exalted ruler of Manhattan lodge, No. 5; W. L. Pope, past exalted ruler and district deputy of Brooklyn lodge, No. 32; E. V. Ceruti, chairman and envoy of the legislative committee of the three lodges; D. W. Parker, secretary of the Manhattan lodge, No. 45 O. R. Johnson, the defendant, and lots of other Negro Elks.
The issue of this case is highly important, as 'there seems to be a systematic attempt all over the country to prosecute the Negro Elks on the part of the white Elks.

A Grand Sermon On Masonry
Delivered By Rev. W. H. Tillman; at New Hope Baptist Church St. John's Day, Sunday, June 24th 1906
Fellow Craftman of the most ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons and most worthy and worshipfull Master, convened upon this August occasion. We bring you greetings carefully from the history of your most ancient brotherhood.
As our time upon this occasion must be redeemed, we shall have to eliminate much, that otherwise could be said to redown to the honor and profit of the order.
times either they have been useful or many have beenthe product of human mind in different ages, writing under different circumstances.
For an important link in the histo of Masonry, the craft is indebted to a phyeosophical society, known as a bolists, which formed an importa place in the moral and commerce world.
The Jews, while pretending to following in the footstep of Mosl claim to have derived their labels fr
The Name.
In 1645, a Bull was granted by the Pope, to a particular company of Italian workmen, masons, to travel at will, all over Europe to build churches. This society was endowed with authority which made it equal in potentiality with King Henry III. of England. From this is derived the Fraternity of adopted Masons, accepted Masons, or Free Masons, who are known to each other all over the world by certain signals and watch words, known among themselves.
They had lodges in different parts of the country for the reception of the craftmen, and when a member would fall into decay, the brotherhood would relieve him.
The manner of admission is very formal and solemn, and the oath of secrecy has been so religiously observed, that the world has never been able by the inadvertance or surprise, or folly of its members to pry into the secrets—or make the discovery of its mysteries.
Acknowledged Good Qualities.
From 1100 to 1723, the reign of Queen Elizabeth, no oath bound societies were allowed o exist.
Elizabeth attempted to break up the annual communications of Masons. The claim that they were dangerous to the government, but as old Masons have transmitted it by tradition that when the Noble person with a possee, came to the city of York on St. John's Day, to break up the Grand lodge, they made no use of arms. They were initiated into the mysteries of the Ancient craft, so they carried a most flattering report to her majesty. She let them alone as a people much respected and honored by the noble and wise of all polite people.
Antiquities.
To find the date when this most ancient order began is the most interesting and difficult problem with which historians have to deal.
I think it is abundantly clear that the Masonic body had its origin in the trades-union of Mediaeval days.
At the time of the Reformation, these unions had dissolved, except a few scattered through the country and these veigated in obscurity for a period of 200 years.
In 1717, Masonic bodies appear in a new guise. While many forms, ceremonies, and words which they derived from their ancestors, the working Masons. Yet we find that operative Masonary was and probably had been in a state of decay for years, and a new form, that of speculative Masonary had been substituted in its place.
These strange fancies had been floating about from the earliest period from which human records extend. These men were learned in astrology, alchemy and labilistic love. Through the wise men of ages past the secrets and mysteries of Masonary have been transmitted to the world. Hence, we conclude, that the rites, symbol and belief of Masonry have been handed down from the earlier
times either they have been found useful or many have beenthe product of human mind in different ages, wroking under different circumstances.
For an important link in the history of Masonry, the craft isindebted to a physeosophical society, known as labolists, which formed an important place in the moral and commercial world.
The Jews, while pretending to be following in the footstep of Moses, claim to have derived their labels from Erdras, Abraham and from Adam, and Adam received his from God.
Now when we read the life of these men from the pages of the Bible we conclude at once that they were acquainted with the few crude implements with which operative Mason's performed their tack.
The Esoteric doctrine or labala, taught by the eJws, was the marvel of the nation.
All the Jews were not taught by the same method. Only those who had subscribed to a pledge of secrecy by the strictest oath, were ever instructed as a labalist or a Mason, it is said Adam, and Adam received from the Angel Raisel.
From this we get the notion that Masonry is as old as Adam.
These mysteries were bequeathed to Seth, they were nearly lost in the degenerate days which followwed. They were by a miracle restored to Abraham, who committed them to writing in the books of Jezirah.
These mysteries were renewed to Moses, who received a traditionary and written law from God bringin these Esoteric principles to man the second time from God.
They were lost again in the calamities of the Babalonic Captivities and once again delivered to Esdras, was finally transmitted to posterity through the hands of Simeonben Setach and others.
It is clear to all that the mysterious doctrine of Masonry could not, abstruse as they are, having been deof the Masonic law.
It is true, that many have imagined that in these mystical truths, they discern a near resemblance to the doctrine of Christianity, and have concluded that these mystical truths have come to us by Divine Revelation.
Truths Revealed.
This is not at literal house, it is spoken of as a house without doors or windows everywhere to be seen but never by the eyes of man.
The building represented philosophy of nature or the knowledge of God. It represents the knowledge of God himself. It represents religion.
Now, we are thrown in contact with Masonic principles, both speculative and operative, in which Christ is represented as both rock and building, foundation and coplan.
Now what rock and what building? Spiritual rock and human building in which men are the stones and Christ the corner stone.
Ye must be transformed into living stones of philosophy.
What is a living stone? A living stone is a Mason who builds himself up into a wall of human nature. Paul teaches the manner of the transformation, when he says; let the same mind be in you which is in Christ Jesus.
In the passages we see the rise of the Alegoric name of Masons. The society therefore, to which the above words were addressed was to be a Masonic society, to represent typically that temple of the Holy Ghost, which was to be erected in the heart of men.
This temple was the abstract of the doctrine of Christ, who was the Grand Master; hence the light from the East of which so much has been said among Masons.
St. John was the beloved diciple of Christ, hence the solemn celebration of his festival.
The first event in the art of Masonry was the building of the tower of Babel. This expressed the attempt of some unknown master Mason to build up the temple of the Holy Ghost, in anticipation of Christianity, which attempt, however, had been confounded by the vanity of the builders.
The second great Masonic incident was the building of Solomon's temple. The obvious meaning was the prefiguration of Christianity.
Hiram, the architect, was a type of Christ.
According to Masonic legend. Hiram was murdered by his subordinate workmen. This makes the type more striking.
The Two Pillows.
Jachin and Boaz, which are among the most memorable singularities in Solomon's temple, have an occult meaning to the Free Masons.
Hiram was murdered while superintending the material temple.
Jesus Christ was murdered while superintending the erection of the Spiritual temple.
this Masonic command bursting forth from every gallery of sky. Let us be changed from dead blocks to living stones of philosophy, and the manner of the change is taught by the Apostle when he says, "let the same mind be in you which is in Jesus."
What is the lesson taught? That Jesus is the corner stone of the human temple by whose exaltation alone this temple will be exalted, as in the time of Solomon, when his prayer was ended, it is said that he was filled with the Glory of God, and so from the death of Capha, plious men became living stones and that by transmutation from the state of fallen Adam to the state of his prestine innocence and perfection.
The three great pillows of the Masons are wisdom, Cabbala, and Chymistry.
Here is another Masonic expression fro mthe inspired men of Paul.
As a wise architect have I laid the foundation according to the grace which God has given me, but none other can lay the foundation save that which is laid, who is Christ alone.
MAKING SECULAR HISTORY.
The statesman, scholar and politician have no conception of what the civil and political conditions of the world would be if his most ancient organization had not existed and made its power felt in the formation of all governments. The Mason influenced legislatures, strengthened the arms of warriors, paralyzed the arms of the world's rulers. They advocated the absolute freedom of men. They favored the obliteration of racial lines. They forced a political revolution upon Britain and reduced it to a limited monarchy. They negotiated the terms of peace between the Five Nations of the North and Massachusetts Bay Colony. They prevented the union of church and state in the formation of the government of the United States. They insisted upon having the E Pluribus Unum as the central feature of the Constitution. For these principles contended Hamilton and Franklin.
God used this most ancient craft to perform an important part in sacred history. In the Dark Ages, when Rome ruled with an iron hand it was her intention to surpress the truth; to keep the Bible from the people. She would have succeeded but for the Masons, who had the Bible stored among the Jews, from which translations have been made and the world blessed because Masons existed.
The claim, (I mean the anti-Mason brethren), that God would have found some other way. True. He people the
---
world through Adam. If Adam had not existed their would have been no people. Oh, no! God would have found some other way. True, too. But he selected Adam through whom to people the world, and he selected the Mason through whom to preserve the Bible for the church.
Several causes contributed to establish the prefix "Free" to Masons.
First. Secrets could be extorted from slaves.
Second. In many localities the fraternity was exempted from taxes.
Third. They were free stone workers.
Today you can not be a Free Mason if you are a slave to the behest of other men.
Men whose perpendicular attitude is dependant upon the strength of other's backbone; men who have no high moral ideal to which they are striving to attain can never wear honorably the habits of Masonry.
Lodge or Logan: Hut or Cabin.
The lodge or cabin was erected wherever Masonry, operative Masonry, was being done. If the work to be performed by the craft were in the valley, the logia were built on higher ground. If on a hill, then the logia were built in a valley. These lodges or
Bill Goes Through the Lousiana Senate.
Baton Rouge, La.—A primary election bill, containing a provision which is intended to restrict the voting of Negroes at the primaries, was passed last week by the State senate by the vote of 28 to 3. This provision gives to the party State central committees the right "to name one additional qualification" for voters at the primaries.
Although the Negro is not named in this clause, nevertheless those who proposed it said that the additional qualification was for restricting the Negro vote. One of the arguments used in favor of this measure was that it might prevent attempts to buy and sell the votes of Negroes. Opposition to the restrictive clause developed on the ground that it is unconstitutional. Some o f the leading opponents who took this view were lawyers and they predicted that the bill will have its final test in the courts. The house has already passed the bill, but as the Negro restrictive clause was inserted by the senate the bill will go back to the house for confirmation.
NEGROES BETTER THAN IN-
DIANS.
Thirty-eight years ago Hampton Institute started out with fifteen Negro students and fifteen Indian prisoners of war. Now it has 1,333 representatives of the black and red races. One of the instructors, recently asked which of the two had proved the greater ability, replied that on the whole the Negro students had shown the better qualities.
SHOOTING RECORD
Of the United States Army is Held by a Colored Man.
Washington, D. C., June 26.—The complete records of rifle, pistol and carbine firing of the United States army for 1905, just published, show Abraham Hill, colored, a Sergeant in the Twenty-fourth Infantry, Department of Bakato, to be the best shot in the army. The percentage of possible shots made by him on slow fire, time fire and skirmish fire was 86.3. The three others at the head of the list after him were Captain Rufus E. Longan, Eleventh Infantry, Department of Missouri, 85.1; Sergeant Wm. A. Cantlee, Fifth Infantry, 84.67; Otto SS. Kahn, Sergeant in Second Cavalry, Department of Luzon, 81.67.

its use can easily be replaced by alco-

and is a valuable acquisition to the
university collection.
Sewer System for McPherson, —
The city council has definitely com-
pleted its plans for a sewer system
and has instructed the clerk to ad-
| vertise for bids. The system will in-
clude about seven miles of laterals
and main sewers. A disposal and
purification plant to purify the sew-
er before it passes into a dry ravine
will have to be built. McPherson
has no stream of running water with-
in access.

German Farmer's Tragic Death. —
Fred Helmor, a German farmer liv-
ing three miles south of Fort Scott.
committed suicide in a trag'e manner.
| Crazed by pain and suffering from an
| insurable disease he loaded a shot
| gun and while his family was asleep
he sat down in a chair and put the
at of the gun in his mouth.
| Using a brookstick thrust in the trig-
ger-guard, he pressed this with h’s
foot and blew the top of his head off.
| Blood and splinters of bone were scat-
tered all over the floor and walls.
| Hetmor had recently bought a ceme-
tery lot, indicating that he contem-
| plated death by suicide.
| Must We't Sixty Days, — J. W. F.
| Hughes, adjutant general of the Kan-
| sas National guard, says that he does
| not expect to pay the Kansas troops
for their time between the day of en-
listment and muster into the govern-
ment during the Spanish-American
ea for at least sixty days. He has
received a draft from the war depart-
ment for $22,000 to cover the expense
of paying the soldiers, but must first
complete the roster of the regiments.
A part of the delay is also caused by
the fact that there Is no means of
compensation for John T. Nicholson,
the Kansas agent in Washington who
collected the funds. The state al-
lows the agent 10 per cent on collec-
tions, but as these are claims of In-
dividuals it is probable that he will
get nothing for this work.
| Going to Chickamauga Park. — Ar-
rangements have been made for the

the Staff college, at Fort Leaven-

in line with the other work of the

Damaging Storm at Sedan. — The
late storm which swept over the city
and vicinity was very damaging to
property and to crops. Hundreds of
window lights were broken by the hail
and corn was stripped to the stalks.
Trees were rendered leafless and
small fruit was nearly all destroyed
Coffeyville Is Growing. — The e'ty
assessor, M. Dz Landers. finished his
work on the census and his returns
show Coffeyville has 16,467 popula:
tion. The council passed a resolution

gained 3,005 in population in the past
year,
Labor Saving Milkers Used. — One
of the most interesting and success-
ful experiments at the state agricul
tural college is m'lking of cows by
machinery. Two cows are milked in
seven minutes by the use of one ma-
chine attached to both cows at a
time. The machine has a pulsating
motion, imitating a sucking calf, and
is driven by a gasoline engine.
Waverly Water Supply Doubled. —
The water supply at the city reser-
vo'r has been vastly augmented by
the excavating that was done there,
as 11500 gallons of water ran into the
reservoir in five hours. This is bet-
ter than 50,000 gallons a day and wa-
ter enough for a city several times
the size of Waverly, The storage ca:
pacity has been more than doubled
also,
Bountiful Harvest at Concordia. —
Harvesting is in full blast in this
county now and there is a pleasant
surprise both in the quantity and
quality of the wheat, which is of high
grade and far more productive than
was hoped for, Oats also are turning
out far better than was expected.
Bounteous rains during the past week
have put everything in fine condi-
tion.
Kansas City, Ks. Population, —
Frank M. Holcomb, clerk of Wyan-
dotte county, has issued the census
for that city. The report shows a
population of 77,912 or 5,120 more
than last year. The report is less
than that of the Hoye Directory Com:
pany, which gives 89,882. The differ
ence is accounted for by the direc
tory containing names of some per:
sons who live outside the city limits,
while the report of Mr, Holcomb only
includes those inside.
More Wheat, Less Corn.—Statistics
gathered by the assessor of Riley
county show 3,000 acres more wheat
| and 7,000 less of corn than last year.
The population of Riley county is

as with Joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and
how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they
enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri-
ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist
nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure
and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has
come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate
of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because
they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa-
ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an
original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and
presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are
used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence
we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent
Medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. ‘ ‘a
° Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs ¢
° always has the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly
printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size
only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having
printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get
the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have
a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children,
whenever a laxative remedy is required.
TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP.
Eczemia Broke Out Also on Hands and
Limbs—An Old Soldier Declares:
“Oatiours Io a Sletian”
“At all times and to all people I
am willing to testify to the merits
of Cuticura. It saved me from worse
‘than the tortures of hades, about the
year 1900, with itching on my scalp
and temples, and afterwards it com-
menced to break out on my hands.
Then it broke out on my limbs. I
then went to a surgeon whose treat-
ment did me no good; but rather ag-
gravated the disease. I then told him
I would go and see a physician in
Erie. The reply was that I could go
anywhere, but a case of eczema like
vnine could not be cured; that I was
too old (80). I went to an eminent
doctor in the city of Erie and treated
with him for six months, with like
results. I had read of the Cutfcura
Remedies, and so I sent for the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent,
and continued taking the Resolvent
until I had taken six bottles, stopping
it to take the Pills, I was now get-
ting better. I took two baths a day
and at night I let the lather of the
Soap dry on. I used the Ointment
with great effect after washing in
warm water, to stop the itching at
once. I am now cured. The Cuticura
treatment is a blessing, and should
be used by every one who has itching
of the skin.. I can’t say any more,
and thank God that He has given the
world such a curative. Wm. H. Gray,
203 Mount Vernon St. Philadelphia,
Pa., August 2, 1905.”

‘jf, man who had started with a
friend on a week's automobile tour
stayed away two weeks. When finally
they got back to town, he went home,
and his wife received him coldly.
“What he dreaded was a scolding and
an upbraiding, “I am so glad to be

“but I pity Piteoe. Poor old Pitcoe?”
“What 1s the matter with Pitcoe?”

INVESTMENT IN MOTH BALLS
Manner of Using the Prevantive
‘That Proved to Be a Signal
Failure.
A State street druggist, telling of the
quaint characters whom he encounters
im his business, recently said: “Late
one afterncon one of the. ‘ould sod’
ambled up to the counter. ‘Hov yez
‘onything good to kill moths?’ he asked,
Felates the Chicago Record-Herald.
“*¥es,’ said I, ‘we have moth balls,
the best reemdy known,’
“Give me tin cints’ worth, thin,’
says be.
“I made up the package, handed it to
him, ena he ambled out again. I had
forgotten all about my customer unti:
about four o'clock the next afternoon,
when I was forcibly reminded of the
transaction ot the day before. After
1 had waited on my customers in their
turn 1 walked over to another coun-
ter and was there conironted with my
moth-ball investor. Without giving
me time to make an inquiry, he said:
“*Are yezthe young mon that sold
me thim things yistiddy?’ showing me
the remains of about half a dozen of
the white balls.
“I answered in the affirmative, and
also inquired what the trouble was.
“*Ay all the con games I've run up
against in me toime, this bates thim
all,’ he said. “To think of onyone run-
ning a decent down-town store selling
the loikes of thim things to kill moths
with, or onything else, for the matter
of that. They might be all right for
playing marbles, but for killin’ moths,
niver. I may not be as young as yez
are, young mon, but I'm just as stiddy,
and I want to tell you wan thing. If
yez can show me the man or woman
that can throw wan of thim balls
quick enough to kill a moth I'll not
only ate iviry wan of thim yez have
in stock, but I'll say nothing about
the picture the ould woman and meself

It is estimated that from 400,000 to $000,000 natives have died in Africa of sleeping sickness in the last ten years. The disease is, moreover, spreading with alarming rapidity, yet nothing is done to check it. The weight of opinion is that no person once infected ever recovers. Despite its name, sleep is not an important symptom, as it occurs only towards the end of the disease in a small number of cases.
A curious case of museum robbery is engaging attention at Weimar. An agent offered some fine ago to the Goethe-Schiller museum a 'series of Goethic manuscripts, which on examination proved to have been stolen from the museum itself. The agent explained that he had received them in good faith from a well-known antiquarian in Berlin. A search of the antiquarian's house brought, to light many other documents belonging to the Weimar museum.

THE DOCTOR'S WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food
A trained nurse says: "In the practice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingly recommend it to all my patients.
"It is delicate and pleasing to the palate (an essential in food for the sick) and can be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for babies or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastication impossible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find Grape-Nuts and albumen water very nourishing and refreshing. This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a tea-spoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juice or flavoring. This affords a great deal of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress.
"My husband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it many times for his patients.
"Personally I regard a dish of Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast for anyone—well or sick." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
In any case of stomach trouble, nervous prostration or brain fag, a 10 days' trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders toward nourishing and rebuilding, and in this way ending the trouble. "There's a reason" and trial proves.

FINES FOR THE PACKERS.
Freight Brokers Must Go to Prison in Addition.
Armour, Morris, Swift, Cudahy and Burlington Railroad Fined $15,000 Each for Rebating.
Kansas City, Mo. — After vigorously scoring dishonest practices of railway companies, shippers and their agents in giving, receiving or procuring unlawful concessions in freight rates, Judge Smith McPherson in the United States court here Friday pronounced sentence upon the following convicted corporations and persons:
George L. Thomas, freight broker four months' imprisonment and a fine of $6,000.
L. B. Taggart, chief clerk to Thomas three months' imprisonment and a fine of $4,000.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway, a fine of $15,000.
Swift & Co., packers, a fine of $15,000.
Cudahy Packing company, a fine of $15,000.
Armour Packing company, a fine of $15,000.
Nelson Morris & Co., packers, a fine of $15,000.
Regarding the equal guilt of all the indicted corporations, Judge McPherson said:
"I assess the fines against all of said corporations at the same sum. I do this on full consideration. These parties were all together in this scheme with like motive and purpose. The corporation that grants concessions is neither more nor less guilty than the party who receives such benefits, and the form of the indictment cannot change this any more than in the case of one who steals and and one who knowingly receives stolen goods. Railroads and shipppers must be treated alike in cases wherein they violate the Elkins law.
"This is so both under the law and under any code of morals. Both shippers and the railroads must understand that however artful the scheme there is qual intelligence, which will uncover and expose its nakedness. And if railroads and shippers doubt this they will do well to remember that they are playing against stakes of large fines and judgment of imprisonment. And in playing the game they take all the chances."
After stating that the testimony showed that several Kansas City firms had received large sums in rebates through an agreement with Thomas and Taggart, the judge said:
"I assume all these concerns will be proceeded against for receiving these unlawful rebates, which can be done either by indictment or information, as the last vestige of the plea of immunity for corporations has been wiped out by the decision of the supreme court of the United States of March 12 1906, in the case of Hale vs. Henkle.
Washington, D. C. — On being asked concerning the action, of Judge McPherson at Kansas City Friday in his decision against the Armour, Swift Morris and Cudahy packing companies, the Burlington railroad and the individual defendants, Taggart and Thomas, the attorney general said;
"I regard the outcome of this case as of the first importance. The sentence of imprisonment imposed for the first time on persons guilty of rebating will, in my judgment, have the most potent effect in checking the widespread practice of unlawful discriminations."
Grain Rate to Chicago Lowered.
Chicago, 111. — The Chicago Great Western railroad Thursday issued a new tariff on grain from the Missouri river to Chicago, showing the discontinuance of elevator charges at the river. The elevation charge of 1 1-4 cents was knocked off the 12-cent rate and beginning next Monday the rate will be 10 3-4 cents. The road has announced also that it will transfer grain through its own elevator at Kansas City free for its shippers.
Shower of Frogs at Alton, Ill.
Alton, 111. — A heavy rain-storm, accompanied by a gale, swapped over Alton Sunday and a deluge of little green frogs was precipitated. They fell so plentiful that thousands were hopping around the streets. Pedestrians and vehicles crushed them by hundreds, so thickly were the streets strewn. It is believed the frogs were scooped up from the marshy lowlands by the heavy wind, carried over the city and dropped.
Pure Food Bill to Conference.
Washington, D. C. — The house insisted Monday on its amendments to the pure food bill and asked for a conference. The speaker appointed as forces Mr. Mann (Ill.), Mr. Hepburn (Ia.) and Mr. Ryan (N. Y.). The senate agreed to the conference and Senators Heyburn, McCumber and Latimer were appointed as conferes.
Toledo, Ohio. — Five ice dealers representing local companies were sentenced in common pleas court Monday to pay a fine of $5,000 each, and each men to serve one year in the workhouse. The judge said the sentences might be mitigated in the event the men made restitution. Hearing upon motions in arrest of judgment cannot be heard for some time and the ice men will stand committed until the fines are paid or the sentence otherwise disposed of.

"Plain an' Pinted" Duty That Was Not to Be Misunderstood.
Deacon Smith and. Deacon Jones were pillars of an Alabama colored country church. One day while storing hay in their employer's barn, Deacon Jones came upon a hen's nest, in which reposed a dozen large, white eggs, relates the American Spectator.
"Now, what us gwine do bout dis hyah?" he demanded.
"Er, reckon we mout take 'em up ter de big house?" Deacon Smith suggested, without enthusiasm.
"Now, how we know dat hen b'long ter Mars Will?" Bro. Jones objected.
"No, sah! Can't take no chance on gibbin' Mars Will some yuther man's aliggs!"
"Mout leave dem hyah, den," was the rueful reply.
"Now, lookyere, Bro' Smif, Ah's 'priseal at yo!' Don' dence church teach us ter be kind ter all critters! And don' yo' think dat 'cludes hens?

Save the Babies.
INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever.

One on the Doctor.
A Baltimore physician who boarded a crowded car in Charles street, noticed a woman standing and a big German sprawling over twice the seat area that was necessary to him. Indignantly the physician said to his: "See here! Why don't you move a little so that this tired woman may have a seat?" For a moment the German looked dazed. Then a broad smile spread over his countenance as he answered: "Say, don't a joke on you, all right! Dot's my life!" The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new.

Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria in many cases and have always found it an efficient and speedy remedy." Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria in my office for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients." Dr. J. E. Waggoner, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I can most heartily recommend your Castoria to the public as a remedy for children's complaints. I have tried it and found it of great value." Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for the haxiative effect and freedom from harm." Dr. J. E. Waggoner, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "During during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commended its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which require it." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprietary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Mo., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most valuable medicines for infantry. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the medicines for the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's disorders, while the entire family with such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."
Dr. F. H. Kyle, of St. Paul, Minn., says: "It affords me pleasure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now endorse your Castorina. The wrapper is one good and sufficient reason for the recommendation of any physician. I know of its good qualities and recommend it cheerfully."

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT
The present most ancient matron is Mrs. Mary Galnes, a woman of exceptionally strong intellectual powers, and who is in possession of soul expression sufficient to push a ton to the apex of the hill of difficulty.
concluded from page one
logia were copied from the Tabernacle, and Moses copied the Tabernacle from the Egyptian temples, which were double cubes, representing the united power of light and darkness in the creation.
The principal object is charity. They are striving to build a home for the indigent Master Masons and their wives.
King Solomon's Temple and the Altar of Incense represent double cubes. The united power of God and man in the construction of masterpieces of operative Masonry. God is light; man is darkness.
They have some money on hand for that purpose.
Conclusion.
Fellow Masons, now going down from this place remember, you are the salt of the earth. Lights of the world and flirte of the Universe. Ye I speak to men who thirst for wisdom with eyes eastward, traveling toward the pellucid palace, toward the transparent pyramid of purple salt in the center of which reposes inaccessible light, that incorruptible fire blazing like burning crystale and brighter than the sun in its full meridan. Glories, which is in its immortal, eternal, never dying Pyopus, the King of Gumnes, whence proceed everything that is great and wise and happy.—Amen.
We are forced to this conclusion. Every Mason represents the Tabernacle and the Temple. The Tabernacle and the Temple represent the universe; again the universe represent the Temple both material and immaterial, the plans of which were drawn and executed by the Great Architect, whose own power operated through infinite ages to form the mighty stratum upon which the four massive walls were erected, while is all-seeing eye read the most delicate lines on the treasel board, and his right hand, a compass, circumscribed immeasurable space and set boundaries for the horizon, and His judgment, as a square, measured the path for the sun, and His wisdom planned the huge pillars upon which the walls of creation do rest, and His accuracy leveled the beds upon which the watery world slumber.
NOTICE.
Knights and Daughters, if you have changed High Priestess or Chief Mentors since this list was published kindly notify me at once, that I may make the correction.
Thus, the Supreme Master Builder commended the forces from whose operation was evolved the great Temple, Logia, in which Deity exists.

Job sang of the Blazing Star. He was in quest of knowledge, seeking it from the East. The stars of which he sang were the Pleiades, the only union of constellations representing the double cube—a geometrical figure of perfect strength. With whom can there be strength and perfection but the Great Operator of the mechanical forces of Nature? The Builder of the universe who raised from the stratum of oblivion the living stones out of which this Human Temple is constructed.
Antiquity.
From the foundation of the world we trace Masonry. Masonry and Geometry are often used synonymously. Now since there could be no world unless the builder had mastered the principles of Geometry it is conclusive that lines and angles, the square, compass, trowel and level were in the mind of God and in constant use before the world was visible.
Female Department.—Heroines.
In the year 1312 B. C. the Court of Heroines was founded as the result of the friendship existing between Ruth, the Moabitish woman, and Naomi, the Canaanitish woman. Even among the women whose husbands were Masons we find the desire to remove racial lines. It was, too, the will of God that these ties of friendship be for through this Moabitish or Gentile woman came the Christ. Ruth married Boaz, who was a Master Mason, and from their union was a family from whom came the Christ. Will any smartaleck risk his reputation as a Bible student to assert to the contrary?
Then if God saw fit to elect a society woman as the source through which Christ must come to save the world and found a church, shall I exclude, or countenance the ejection of society women from the church after the Son of the society woman has given the church to the world?
The men among Israel who were initiated into the cabalistic mysteries in the Wilderness of Sin, and whose wives crossed into Jericho with them, organized this Court of Herines for the purpose of cementing the tribes sexually together.

Second. There were some trustworthy women in Canaan who deserved consideration. From a tribal, or national viewpoint, they could not get it, but from a viewpoint of fraternity they could.
Rahab, for instance, the work that she did was entitled to consideration. I don't like to call her the harsh name by which she is known in the Bible—harlot. She was a member of the Court of Heroines, or friends of the Cabilistic Craft, Ancient Free and Accepted Mason. She was only an innkeeper, that was all
Historians trace these female degrees to 1230 A. D. The Heroines were at that time in-France, England and Scotland. The Heroines preceded the chapter by many centuries. It is the oldest female organization in the world. This Heroine Court, cognomen Mt. Olive, City of Wichita, Kan., June 14, 1889.
