Another A. o. U. w. Decision.

Waterloo, Iowa, Special Telegram, Feb. s.
Judge UT entered Judgment in the case of the
state of Iowa, ex ect W. A. Grohen ct al Vs.
George r. Miller ct al, or the supreme lodge
against the grand lodge of Iowa, Ancient Order
of United Workmen. A petition for a new tri-
al was submitted and argued, and the lodge
oycrrIlled 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 frater-
nal organization or whether it is merely an in
suranee organization. ] believe it to be a fra
ternal organization, and being such the court
cannot interfere with its trials and disciplinary
action, so long as property rights are not IN
vOlved
The decision practically leaves the parties
where it finds them. 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, e.
Godfrey. r. A. Whitaker, ct al, and all their
associates claiming to constitute the lodge of
the Ancient Order of United Work
men of Iowa be onsted and excluded from act
ing as such corporations and that ". X. Ora
ham, J. 0. 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
defendants excepted. The defendants say that
thew propose to continue to perform the duties
of their office inst as though no decision had
been rendered and the case will go to the su-
preme court at once

Miscellaneous Matters.

1t is said that people in Christian
county, KY, have lost 500, 600 within
two years specializing in Chicago grain
and Wall street stocks, an amount
equaling Ia per cent. of the assessed
value of all property there.
China is perhaps the only civilized
country in the world which has not re-
sorted to gas as a means of lighting, and
even among the rich the methods of IL
Eliminating are primitive in the extreme,
though kerosene is now rapidly coming
into use within a considerable radius of
the treaty ports.
1t costs something to be guest of
the English royal family. The tips
which are given are enormous When
the Emperor Nicholas passed Ascot
week at Windsor Castle In 1884 he left
$4,000 for the servants, and gave twelve
gold and diamond snuff boxes to the
lords and gentlemen of the household.
In 1855 the Emperor Napoleon gave
$1,000 in the same way In fact, the
Lord Steward keeps regular tariff of
what is expected, the amount varying
according to the rank of the guest, and
this is formally presented to the princi-
pal parsonage in attendance on him.
That was high compliment paid to
the Rev. DIR. Nelson Willard, pastor
for eleven years Of the First Presbete-
rian church at Syracuse, on the occasion
of his receiving call from the Broad
y L ~ -
only did his own congregation make ev-
ery effort to induce him to remain. but
Bishop Huntington, Chancellor Sims
and nearly all the Protestant ministers
of the city joined in the request that
he would decline the call Neverthe-
less, he decided to 60 to Norwich,

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 Injuries of all kinds are enormous.
LISA 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 osten7
tatious than another. it is when there
Is unusual sufferings among the poor
and depression. A little more than a
wear ago, Just before Christmas, there
was a representation in 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-
trast was extreme and horrible. Sew
eral thoughtful people protested to the
proprietor that it was injudicious to
harrow the feelings of the unhappy
bv such contrast. The result was that
one evening the windows were smashed
and the representation destroyed by
those who were stung to madness by
unexaggerated representations of life as
II Is. There is a lesson In this. Those
who have wealth can enjoy it-all to
themselves if so disposed-but should
not fiaunt it in the faces of the poor.

Gen. sherman,s Retirement.

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 so many
years its distinguished chief, can but awaken
in the 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 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
tary genius and daring did so much to end
The president deems this fitting occasion to
give expression in this manner to the gratitude
felt towards Gen. Sherman by his fellow citi-
zens and to hope that providence may grant
him many years of health and in relief from
the active duties of his profession.

of the Mile Laos Indians. Gov Hubbard says
Information given me by ex-senator Sim

Indians at Mile Laos leads me to request you
to visit them and personally learn the truth
about the situation which | am led to believe is
likely to become fatal to them and disgracefnll
to the government unless timely help be af-
forded them Many of them are reported to be
in a state of utter restitution Their rice crop
was a failure. Their act of violence in the de-
struction of the dam of the Pam river was a re-
suit of the anxiety and desperation which that
failure caused them. They can make no sales
of their hay because no loggers are going into
the woods there They have been unable to sup
ply themselves even with deer meat because of
the lack of snow. | am informed they have not
received their annuties.
