Another A. o. q. ". Decision.

Waterloo, Iowa, Special Telegram, Feb. s.
Judge UT entered Judgment in the case of the
state of Iowa, ex Get. w. A. Grohen Ct al vs.
against the grand lodge Of Iowa, Ancient Order
of United Workmen. A petition for new tri-
al was submitted and argued, and the lodge
overruled it. In so doing, he made state
ment of interest, as showing the legal status of
the two bodies. He said:
The decisive point in the case is whether the
Ancient Order Of United Workmen is q frater-
nal organization or whether it is merely an in
snrance organization. I believe it to be fra
ternal organization, and being such the court
cannot interfere with its trials and disciplinary
action, SO long as property rights are not in
volvcd.
where it finds thenn,- the one adhering to the
supreme lodge and the order at large, and the
other remaining state institution, existing, as
its counsel claim, for the purposes of insur-
ance. He then entered judgment on the YER
dict. 1t was to the effect that G. r. Miller, G..
Godfrey r. A. Whitaker, ct al, and all their
associates claiming to constitute the lodge of
the Ancient Order of United Worl,
men of Iowa be ousted and excluded from act
ham, l. o. Rowland and their associates to be
declared to rightfully constitute such body,
and be entitled to exercise its corporate rights
ALSO that all books and papers in the hands Of
the defendants belonging to the officers, which
they claimed to hold, be turned over to the re-
lators, and that the REALTORS recover the cost of
the action. To this judgment and ruling the
they propose to continue to perform the duties
Of their Office justas though no decision had
been rendered, and the case will so to the SUI
preme court at once.

Governor Bourne of Rhode Island
tells the people of this little State some
plain truths about the growth of the
divorce scandal. It seems that the
ratio of divorces to marriages is con-
Htantly increasing, and already has
reached the proportion of one divorce
to nine and seven-tenths marriages.
This ratio becomes, as the Governor
says, absolutely startling" when it is
considered that probably third Of the
population are Roman Ca holes and
therefore cut off from divorce entirely,
since this would make the proportion
among the rest of the people as high as
one to every six or seven marriages.
A large majority of the divorces were
granted without opposition, and by COL
fusion between the parties, upon OK
parte dispositions. The ease with which
the marriage tie is severed in Rhode
Island has become so notorious that
outsiders often go to the State and stay
long enough to obtain the legal "resi-
dence' required, in order to procure
divorces which they could not hope to
get elsewhere.

Washington, Feb. s.-The president to-day
issued the following order, announcing the re-
tirement of Gen. Sherman:
Gen. William T. Sherman, general of the
army, having this day reached the age of sixty
four years. is, in accordance with law, placed
upon the retired list of the army without the
restriction of pay and allowances. The an
nouncement of the severance from the COM
mand of the army of one who has been 80 many
years its distinguished chief, can but awaken
in tho minds, not only of the army, but of the
people of the United States, mingled emotions
Of regret and gratitude; regret at the with
drawal from active military service of an officer
whose lofty sense of duty has been a model for
all soldiers since he first entered the army in
July, 1910, and gratitude, freshly awakened for
services of incalculable value rendered by him
in the war for the Union which his great mill
The president deems this fitting occasion to
give expression in this manner to the gratitude
zens and to hope that providence may grant
him many years of health and in relief from
the active duties of his profession.

In the United Staes the growing
distance between the extreme of wealth
and, poverty is very great at all
times, but it is never so strongly
marked as in Periods of commercial dis
tress. While the cities are full of idle
mechanics and laborers, and the scar
city of work is followed, by low wages
and suffering, the balls and parties Of
the rich are as magnificent as ever, and
the sums lavished upon amusements
and luxuries of all kinds are enormous.
It is a state of affairs impossible to
change greatly for the better but which
no patriotic citizen can contemplate
with pleasure. If there is any time
when great wealth should be less osten-
tGGous than another, it is when there
. Unusual sufferings among the poor
and depression. A little more than a
year ago, just before Christmas, there
was a representation in a shop win
dow of an eastern city at Christmas
eve in the parlors of the rich, and in
the novels Of the very poor. The con-
rrast was extreme and horrible. Sew
eral thoughtful people protested to the
proprietor that it was injudicious to
harrow the feelings of the unhappy
by such contrast. The result was that
one evening the windows were smashed
md the representation destroyed by
those who were stung to madness by
unexaggerated representations of life as
it is. There is lesson in this. Those
who have wealth can enjoy it-all to
Themselves if SO disposed should
not daunt i in the faces Of the poor.

To prove the fallacy of the old story
that ALTERNATING fish and animals re-
NAMED in their beds until they heard
thunder, resident on the banks of
Lake Washoe, New, explored a giant
powder cartridge in the vicinity of a
muddy patch of lake bottom where mil
lions of cat fish, big and little, had bur-
led themselves for the winter. To his
utter surprise the Lake was almost in
stantly studded with fish noses. After
smelling around for few minutes they
every one disappeared beneath the wa
tiers and went down into the mud again.
The miners now fired half dozen
cartridges they had with them-at
various points around the lake, but not a
fish showed itself. They had all taken a
good, square look at the Sierre Nevada
range, and had seen that it was still

The details of the January fires in
the United States show an aggregate of
$12,OOO,OOO destroyed during the
month. OF this amount, $40, 200, 900
was burned up by 2S4 fires, where the
reported loss was from $40 900 upwards.
No such fire waste in single month
has occurred since 1872, so far as the
records show, except in January, 1879,
and July 1877. There were twenty
fires in January where the reported
loss was 100000 or more, the totals of
the twenty fires being $3,2OO,O00, Or
moro than onc-fourth of this months

ton, of course, came from carelessness,

the magnetic pole is now more than q
thousand miles west of the geographic

needle showed the position of the mag

until 1916, when the maximum was at
