session at Masonic temple at 10 o'clock
this morning with an tendance Of nearly
$50 delegates. all but a few of the 100
lodges being represented. Iii expected
that this will be one of the most sue

enthusiasm and business transacted.
ever held by the order in this state.
After an interesting address By T. X.
Dunn, grand master workman, and the
appointment of committees, an adjourn
ment was taken until this afternoon,
when the annual reports, which showed
the most gratifying results for the past
year, were read. In his annual report
the grand master workman said.
1T is a source of qualification to
know that in the supreme jurisdiction
there has been a very large increase,
there having been net gain Of over
10000 members during the year, so
that we now have a grand army of
workmen of about 100000. I desire to
call attention to the legislation by the
supreme lodge, giving grand lodges the
right to reduce the age limit of appli-
cants for membership from so to As years
Several of the most prosperous juriS-
dictions have made such amendments to
their constitutions, and in my opinion
this is subject worthy of your consid-
Grafton. In the degree of honor branch
of the order fair progress has been
made and tire new lodges have been
Instituted during the year at Rock
Spring, Alderman and Milwaukee"
The report of the graud recorder
showed the following interesting facts:
AT the beginning of the fiscal year
there We're 7,077 members of the order
in good standing in Wisconsin and at
the close Of the year there were 1882,
a net gain of 255 members. At the
years close there were 129 lodges and
IS degree of honor lodges. The total
number of members admitted during
the year was 793, but there were 40
suspensions and Withdrawals and SO
deaths. The total receipts for the
year were: Beneficiary fund, S1S3, 1888;
general fund, S9,474.54; cash on hand
January 1, 1892, in beneficiary fund,
S4.914.6O: general fund, S1,23S.61: a
total of S199, 46O.75. The disbursements
were: Beneficiary fund. SIS, 551.95; gem

The report of the supreme representa-
tives, T. X. Dunn, B. F. Parker and 7.
III. Hornick, stated that the next session
of the supreme lodge would be held at
Toronto, Canada, on the third Tuesday

Secretary Lamont's Vigorous Action.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-When Secre-
tary Lamont began to scrutinize the
list of army officers on detached SER
vice some days ago, the name of Lieut..
Lemly was among the first to strike
his eye, and an order was made direct
ing the Lieutenant to return to his regi-
ment. The blow was the more unex-
pected because the young officer had
just arrived from Colum bia, en- route to
Chicago in charge of the exhibit OF
that country. Secretary Lamont, it is
said, did not fully understand the
situution and will reconsider his action
largely as a compliment to the Colon
bian Government But the Secretary
is in deep earnest in his determination
to weed out the leave and detached
service lists

members. The total amount paid in
death benefits during the year was
$5,3O7 1854; since the organization of
the order, $3S,555, 92S.29. The death
rate per 1000 members during the year
was 9.72. The question Of adopting the
elaborate new ritual, recommended by
the supreme lodge committee was re-
ported adversely by the supreme body.
For the place of grand master work
man for the coming year the name Of
Edward Wheelock, editor of the Med
ford Star and News, is under favorable
consideration, and it seems quite prob
able that he will be elected.

HARRIS LAST ROMANCE.

! The Wife Prisoner Became Engaged
( To Il Mysterious Young Woman.
! New York, May 11.-Carlyle w. Har-
ris was the hero of Il romance while he
was awaiting death III the Tombs
/ prison. A girl met him by chance one
! day in the gloomy corridors, fell III
love with him, visited him daily and
| fondly awaited the moment of his re-
lease, when she expected he would
marry her. Her devotion was as great
as his mothers, and she is believed to
be the young woman dressed in deep
mourning who accompanied Carlyle
Harris cousin from New Yory to Al
bany and attended the funeral of the
executed criminal. AT the TOmbs the
girl called herself Carrie JONES'" but
that was not her real name. She de-
liberately broke an engagement of mar
riage with q worthy and estimable
young man in order to become the af-
famed bride of the man who had been
! indicted for stealthily administering
poison to his school girl wife. Her only
| excuse was that in him she found her
affinity.
The greWsome love affair began some
time early in December, 1891. Carrie
Jones visited the prison with a band Of
young men and women to cheer the
inmates by singing hymns. Miss Jones
was apparently fascinated by the hand
some, plausible, soft-yOiced young
prisoner She returned to the Tombs
on the following Sunday. Somehow she
managed to enjoy ten minutes CONVEX
sation with Harris alone. Shrewd and
clever as she was, it did not take him
long to discover that she was infatu
ated with him. On the next day she
called alone. She no longer wore the
diamond ring that marked her as the
affianced bride of another man. She
had told her promised husband very
plainly that she could never marry him
because she loved another. From that
time she called every day. Whether
she proposed marriage to Harris or
whether he, with unbounded faith in
his good fortune, asked her to be his
wife. is a secret But it is certain that
the pair became engaged.
Those who have seen the girl scores
of times describe her as of more than
medium height, slender form, medium
complexion and raven black hair, slight
ly but prematurely tinged with gray.
Her age was somewhere between
twenty three and twenty seven. She
was intellectual without priggishness
and her manners were refined and
charming. Up to the last moment she
never lost hope that Harris life would
be saved. She was one Of the hardest
workers in bringing forward new evil
dence to help him to new trial.

Pillsbury-Washburn Flour Mill Company

Pillsbury-WashburnF Flour Mill Company
Is Paying Nothing.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 13.-There
was deal of disappointment in mill
ing circles when it vas learned that
the Pillsbury-Washburn Flour Mill
Company of Minneapolis, the majority
of the stock in which is held by Lon
don capitalists, had passed its annual
dividend. The letter to the stock
holders says briefly:
''In view of the con tinued decline in
the value of wheat, together with the
very unsettled state of the wheat and
-four markets, the directors have de-
cided not to pay any interim dividend
on the preference and ordinary shares
this half year, but they have every
reason to hope that at the end of the
financial year they will be able to pay
dividend of per cent on the prefer
ence shares. The managing director
reports that the volume of business has
been fully maintained and that the
mills and other properties of the COM
pany have been kept in their usual
high state of efficiency. The deben-
ture interest due May l will be paid in
due course"

Got So BAD Was at First Reported
May Get Half a Crop.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May lathe
condition of wheat in Kansas, the
greatest wheat producing center in the
United States, is fair. Wednesday
night glorious rain fell in portions
of the State where it was much needed.
There is yet, however, much territory
in which wheat is suffering from the
drouth. AS is invariably the case
there are contradictions in the reports
sent in and some farmers interviewed
take gloomy view of the situat: n,
others are jubilant over the pro Ct
Summing it all up it is safe say
that Kansas is this year good for from
one half to two-thirds of wheat crop.
The yield of corn will depend largely
upon rains. The present outlook is
good for an average yield. West of
Salena the rain was not heavy enough
to more than temporarily help the
wheat. The rain in Ellsworth County
was light, and in Russell and Ellis
the same condition prevails. There is
not much hope of a wheat crop in Rus
sell and Ellis, even with the rain which
fell Wednesday night. In Wallace,
Logan and Cove Counties there has
been more rain than in the three coun-
ties east of them.
