ton of the Nebraska synod convened
in the Lutheran church of Stella, of
which Rev. w. C. McCool is pastor. last
week. The opening sermon was de-
livered by Rev. Luther p. Ludden of
Lincoln. Horace Martin extended the
synod welcome on behalf of the
church, the homes and the town. which
was responded to IN most happy vein
by Rev. DR.. Kuhus of Omaha. The
election of officers resulted: President,
Rev. Ludden, Lincoln; Secretary, Rev.
Kuhus, Omaha: treasurer sc. Crounse,
Lincoln; statistical secretary, Rev.
Wolfe, Surprise. The retiring presi-
dent, Rev. McCool of Stella. presented
his final report, showing gratifying
progress during the year.
Mrs. Pinkava, the Bohemian woman
whose husband SO brutaily assaulted
her near Adams, is still alive, but no
hopes are entertained for her recoy-
cry.
A special election was held at Falls
City to vote bonds to extend and i'm

strange Adventare Of : Letter.

An interesting chapter has just beer
added to the history Of letters. It has
been supplied by the adventures of let
ter which M. Henri Rochefort wrote te
member of his family shortly after
his escape from the sec1usion of Decos,
a good many years ago now. 1t is dated
from on board the mail steamer which
was, at the time of writing, conveying
NJ Rochefort from Australia to Sar
stroke the writer made for freedom
through a sea of sharks to the British
bark, in which he presently vanished
from the gaze of his custodians. And il
gives lively picture of M. Rochefort
and the skipper, Captain Law, peram-
bulating the streets of Sydney, the cap
tain pulling up at every corner to clasI
his shipmate to his heart in true British
sailor fashion. Further details are re.
served for viva voce communication, and
no doubt We're communicated.
But the letter never reached its in.
tended recipient, and she reads it now
for the first time in the columns of a
Paris newspaper. For M. Rochefort had
reasons for not troubling the French post
al authorities with its delivery. He in
trusted it to fellow passenger. The
latter got to Paris. but he didn' t fee
we'll. So he put the letter in his library.
Then he died, and his library was sold
Part Of that got into book box on the
Quais. Out of that book box purchaser
picked volume. In the volume be
found the letter. Now, with the writer
consent, he has printed it.-Pall NAL

"How much adulterated honey ii

said DR.. G. c. Butler, president of the
State Beekeepers' association, "but there
is great deal of glucose which is sold
for honey.
It is said that since August Chicago
has received 900 tons of honey. Some
people say over 1000 tons have been
sold. The increase is all glucose. AduI,

honey. 1t is impossible for human art
to produce real honey in the comb which

attempt by celebrated German to imi-

well until it was placed alongside of real
honeycomb, when 1t was evident it was
bad job.

And the Result G&ve Its Owner Consider
able Uneasiness.
The narration CT several experiences
of travel led one Of the Americans in
the smoking room of the steamer to tell
this story:
There is in Hanover, as some of
you know he began, "a beautiful gar
den, Herrenhausen, ON which the kings
of Hanover, when there were kings of
Hanover, lavished much attention.
Some years ago | visited Herrenhausen
with my wife and children and some
persons whose acquaintance we had
made on the steamer. 1t was beautiful
day in summer. and we all felt in the
highest spirits. 1t happened that at the
hotel some one had told me Of the stat
ne of q former margarine Of Hanover
which was soon to be unveiled in Her
renhausen. It was to stand in a shell
shaped structure, the whole of which was
boarded over at that time.
When cur party reached the shedlike
affair, began to tell what it was there
for, who the margarine was and SO on,
pretending a vast knowledge of the
whole business. One of my children
then wanted to know if we couldn't see
the statue In a joking way said GER
tainly, and going up to the gate Of the
shed drew bunch of keys from my
pocket. did it as if l were going to
open the lock and actually put key
into it, taking the first that came to
hand. / turned the key to carry out the
joke and was astonished beyond measure
to find the lock yield and the door open.
Ny little daughter clapped her hands
and exclaimed. Oh, papa's opened the
door, and rushed in to see the statue.
The others followed. while for mo-
ment was too dazed to say word be-
gan to feel more or less alarm. l had
head a great deal about the strictness of
German enforcement of law and knew
that technically had committed bur-
glary. The question also arose in my
mind whether could not be hauled up
fer leze majesty and sent to prison for
six months. At the same time it would
have been embarrassing and humiliating
to confess to my children that had
made mistake and had no right in
there
The statue was covered with cloth,
and SO | managed to hustle the party
out of the shed after a short time. One
of the laborers CHANGED to pass, and he
was evidently surprised to see us in
there. He must have taken me for the
sculptor or something of the kind and
did not summon policeman. was in
the greatest trepidation until relocked
the door and finally went away with my
family and friends There were proba-
bly, million chances to one that my key

This rate has given Columbis and An
derson will ultimately close every one
OF the Charleston mills and transfer
the fertilizer business into the interior

; The Charleston manufacturers have
spent millions Of dollars In developing
the fertilizer industry and have paid
great sums Of royalty into the State
treasury. In the interest OF the State,
in the interest Of fair play and in obe-
dience TO law their plants should be
protected from these unjust and dis
criminative rates. Equal rights
should be accorded them and no spe-
cial privileges be granted their COM

luton will meet the approval of the

the endeavor to fix ''just and reas.

Chairman Evans offered the follow
ing, which being adopted. made the
resolution read:

Commissioners invite the traffic man
agers of the several railroads, and the
fertilizer men from each of the mills
in the State and representatives OF all

be found necessary to preserve our ter

ORDER OF MANDAMUs
Issued by Judge Gary Against Magis-
tratc Smith.

Issued by Judge Gary Against NIagis-
tratc Smith.
Last week at Newberry Judge Gary
gave another hearing to counsel in Ie-
gard to the petition of Thomas j. La
Motto to compel, by mandamus, Mag
istrate Smith to issue o warrant for
Seegers and Marcy, holders of special
beer selling privileges in Columbia.
Petitioner LaMotte represented him
self. Mr.. Muller represented Maeis-
trate Smith and Assistant Attorney
General Townsend appeared for the
board of control. Mr.. LaMotte raised
the point that Mr.. Townsend should not
be heard, the State board of control
not being party to the proceedings.
The court did not accede to this re-
quest.
Mr.. Townsend read an affidavit
from the attorney general stating that
the name OF the State had been used
in the petition without authority. Mr..
Mailer read the return of Magistrate
Smith, giving as reasons why man
damus should not issue, in addition TO
reasons already passed upon at Union,
that the court is without jurisdiction;
that the court should not interfere
with Magistrate Smith in this matter,
which should be left to the latter's
discretion, and that the petition, not
being in the name of the State, must
necessarily fall. The return also con-
tended that Petitioner LaMotte was
without peculiar individual rights or
interests. and had suffered no damage
BY reason Of the magistrates action.
Mr.. LaMotte submitted an affidavit
relating the details Of the action of
Magistrate Smith, upon which the pc
tition was based.
Mr.. Muller moved that Mr.: LaMotte
be required to demur or plead to the
issues of facts raised in the return,
and that such issues of facts he refer
red to q jury of Richmond, county for
determination.
The court refused to rule upon these
questions uLtil the whole case should
have been. submitted. but, on, motion,
ordered that the name of the State be
stricken from the proceedings Ms sur
plusage.
After argument Judge Gary an
nounced that he would grant an order
OF mandamus requiring Magistrate
Smith to issue an arrest warrant in
the case, but not search warrant, the
court constructing the duties OF the
magistrate in regard t. the issue of an
arrest warrant to be ministerial and
not judicial.
Nothing new has developed in the
beer privilege matter. No warrant
has been asked for and the probabil-
tiles are that the case will not be set
tied until the Supreme Court has finale
ly passed on the matter. There is no
doubt about an appeal being, taken,
but tho attorneys refuse to say any
thing about their probable action.
