Order Make Some Important Chan.
ges in Their Laws.
moved

1NDIANAPOLIs, Ind, Aug. s.
The supreme sitting of the Order Of
Iron Hall has acted on the report
of the committee on laws, and sew
eral changes were made in the con-
stitutiOn of the order. The section
governing the meeting the supreme
sitting was changed so as to make
it imperative that the sitting meet
every two years. Under the old rule
the sitting did not meet unless the
supreme justice called it together.
The supreme justice still has the
power to call special meetings of
the sitting at any time. The change
was also made in the section
GOVERNING the depositors of
the funds of the order. By
the change each district is to
have depository. The cOnstitu-
ton was further changed so as to
place women on an equal footing
with men in the order. a resOlu-
ton expressing confidence in the
present supreme officer of the or
der was passed.

HIS DOORS CLOSED.
Stillson's Attempted Suicide Due to
Financial Distress His FIX
lures Attached,

Tuesday morning w. c. Stillson,
proprietor Of the Queen saloon, at
tempted suicide by taking NOR
phine, at his room, on Obraia
street. At the time no one knew
the cause of the attempt, but it has
leaked out that he was terribly
worried over financial matters, and
that is the cause now assigned.
This morning writ of attach
ment was gotten out by Mr..
;. Bauenhener, attaching the
bar fixtures, billiard table, etc,
to satisfy a rent claim of 1925,
Mr.. Bauenheuer being the owner
of the building in which the Queen
saloon is located. 1t is said that
the San Antonio Brewing company
has put in a claim for a small
amount, for beer. The constable
served the writ this morning and
closed the doors of the saloon, and
there the matter rests for time.
StillSOn, about ten days ago,
was feeling dOwn-hearted. His
cOlOred porter asked what was the
matter. StillsOn said he was tired
OF life that business was so dull he
thought he would commit suicide
to end his trouble. 1t is evident
judging from this statement made
to the porter, that the attempted
suicide had long been contem.
plated.

Compliments of Herr Krupp.

According TO an interesting rumor, our
esteemed friend, Herr Krupp, intends
giving that mammoth shooting iron now
at Jackson park to Chicago with his
compliments. If this is So then Herr
Krupp has our best thanks and all the
courtesies that are to be had in such an
inetfably bad season of weather. The
gun weighs 100000 pounds and over,
and as it cost $50, 900 to make it Herr
Krupp's testimonial would involve some
little expense.
But really we are not at all sure we
know what to do with the weapon. The
city has no marine defense to sustain,
and couple of trusty derringers in Off
cial hands are the only weapons needed
in clearing out offensive bumboats. Is
costs 81 200 to shoot the thing, and that
is quite tidy sum to pay for the priv
ilege of bowling over targets placed out
in the midwaters of Lake Michigan.
And when it went off we greatly fear
that some of Mr.. O'Neill's inspected"
hotels in the neighborhood would draw
themselves up and drop into dust heaps.
Besides, the thing would have to have
fort to be housed in. And having one
fort we should need to have two to be
really thoroughly equipped. Having
these, we'd want more guns, and more
marines, and more gunpowder. And
then with all these, what use would they
be unless we got up war just to have
everything in keeping?
Still, it's great gun and an infuen-
tial discourager of inimical advances.
If we must take it, Herr Krupp has our
hanks.-Chicago Record.

A WONDERFUL FIND.
Mr.. Shacklett Discovers the Bones
of an Immense Mastodon.

OF an Immense Mastodon.
Tuesday afternoon, while the
workmen were engaged in digging
a well for domestic purposes, in the
rear OF the Shacklett pavilion, near
the Southwestern Insane Asylum,
discovered, after digging about 6
feet into the ground, the bones of a
huge mastOdOn. The discovery
was reported to Mr.. Shacklett and
he made an investigation, finding
every portion of the frame to be
petritied, excepting the teeth, on
which the enamal was still plain.
The bones were gathered and placed
together and will be taken care of.
as they are rare curiosities and very
valuable.
Mr.. Shacklett feels greatly
pleased at the wonderful find and
prizes the bones highly. His we'll
is now II feet in depth and is Civ
ing all the water that can possibly
be used.

Britain's Bitter Political Struggle.

The final passage of the home rule bill
sight. The committee stage may be
vexatious and slow, but the bill will go
through within reasonable time and be
sent to its death in the house of lords.
That the dead bill will in the end prove
a weapon with which the house of peers
itself will be struck down is confidently
predicted by the Liberal leaders. Before
that day comes, however, Britain must
pass through the bitterest political strug-
gle of her modern history, and strug-
gle which will involve issues far greater
than those of the present measure

This was the statement made to the
doorkeeper at the White House recently

but whose step was firm as that of any
of the callers who climbed the stairway.
The venerable visitor was ex-senator
Bradbury of Maine. He was not read

was requested to wait out in the CORR
dor until some of the senators and rep

room had been disposed of by the presi-

take more comfortable and exalted
