to Be ReOrganized.
A meeting will be held in this CITY Oc-
tober 10 of the members of the Masonic
Mutual Benefit association. The object
of the meeting is to perfect a reorganiza-
ton of the association and prevent its
dissolution. 1t has a membership of
about $500, of whom 1,OO6 are over 80
years of age 1t has reserve fund of
about $65, 600.
1t has lately been found almost itnpos-
sible to induce young men to join the
association and during the last
year the death rate has become SO
great that unless something is done
speedily the reserve fund will be ex-
hausted and there will be no resources
for the liquidation of death losses. The
death rate now averages three a month
and this will increase steadily rather than
diminish. There are but "a mem ers be-
tween the ages of 30 and so. Young
men refuse to join it because they feel
that they cannot afford to pay assess
ments on the death of so many old men
when their life expectancy is so much
greater than that of the majority of the
members of the association. At present
the business of the association is con-
fined to masons in the state of Kansas.
Under the reorganization plan pro-
posed the business will be extended to
other states. Some of the leading mem
bers of the association favor organizing
q regular old line life company, or at
least of conducting it as a mutual asso-
citation, but along the business lines of
old line companies This would. it is
claimed, make it more solid and safe and
at the same time keep it out of the iuris-
diction of the state superintendent of in.

BAD BOYS IN THE PARK.
They Smash the Dishes of Picnickers and
One Fires a Revolver

OF late the patrons of Garfield park
have made complaint that a crowd of
noisy boys make night hideOus by their
attacks on lunch baskets and by firing off

three other boys named Hartley Green,
Walter Ogden aud Meade McLaug hlan.
There had been a picnic party at the
park, and after the supper the dishes
had been put into baskets and left on
some tables in the north part of the
park, while the picnickers went down
by the creek.
Officer Ewing had been notified that
there was some disturbance over at the
park, so he went over there. just as he
entered the gate, he heard a revolver
discharged, He went over to the north
side of the park and concealed himself
behind tree.
Soon the mischievOus bows attacked the
table and played smash with the dishes.
They threw them against the trees, and
the Hewitt boy was about to shoot his
revolver again, when the officer ran out
and grabbed him. Some of the boys had
dishes in their hands, and Hewitt had
two glasses in his pocket
Officer Owens afterward arrested the
other three bows. This morning in po-
lice court Mclaughlin forfeited a cash
deposit of So by not appearing. When
the case had been heard, Judge Ferry
said: 81 fine Hewitt $50 for carrying
concealed weapons and disturbing the
peace The others l fine $40 each" 1t

Hewitt boy has been arrested on similar
charges.

A merchant according to the Cincinnati
Commercial said: "A man came into my
store to buy a dozen solid silver spoons.
When he came to pay for them he picked
out from a capacious pocket a bag, and
said: i am going to pay you in silver
He proceeded to count out silver dollars,
and he counted out enough to pay for his
purchase. He remarked: L have given
you more silver than you have given me
Said the merchant: I am not sure about
that. Let's see here is a pair OF scales.
SO ne weighed the silver and lol the extra
bullion in the spoons weighed so much
more than the bullion in the dollars that
the market valuation Of the silver spoons
was over the market value of the silver
IN the silver dollars. just $40. And an
the ,abor on the spoons was thus counted
for nothing, and. besides. / received less
silver than / gave"

irrigation Companies Warning Over an AL
legged Useless Waste of Water
An injunction was gianted yesterday
by Judge Van Dyke IN the suit of the
Little Rock Creek Irrigation district
against the East Pamdale Water com.
pany The plaintiff claimed prior right
to the water in Little Rock creek. The
Palmdale Irrigation company. another
corporation, whose point of diversion
is higher up, is conceded to have had a
prior right to either of the litigants.
The point of diversion of the defendant
is between that of Palmdale Irrigation
company and that of the Little Rock
Creek Irrigation district. 1t diverts all
the water passing below the dam of the
Palmdale Irrigation company. The line
of dithch of the defendant is nearly par
allel and below that of the Palmdale Irri-
CATION company, and the territory sup
piled by it is claimed to be alreay sup
piled by the Palindale Irrigation COM
pnay, and it is also alleged that the de
fendants' ditch results in useless waste
OF water.
The court was OF opinion that the in
junction would be much less likely to
injure the defendant than the refusal to
grant would work injury 10 the plaintiff,
particularly through the dry season. and
believes the plaintiff entitled to the il
junction. AS plaintiff is not county or
municipal corporation it will be required
to give a bond in $500.
