Mike Mullen, hunter from the western
portion of the state, started in to round
up the tenderon district last night, and
imbibed too much beer. He was found by
the police in saloon near Ninth and
Capitol avenue. At the station a mink skin,
a quantity of fish hooks and lines, and
other hunting equipments were found in
his possession. A man giving the name of

The benefit to Frank Lea Short last night
at the Creighton although sparsely attended,
unquestionably gave pleasure to the select
few who were present. An excellent program,
musical and dramatic, was provided, includ-
ing piano solos by Don M. Long, vocal solo
by Homer Moore, violin solos by Franz Adel-
mann and Hans Albert, a recitation by Mrs.
Matheson, solo on the harp by Miss Lowe,
music by the Trinity quartet and two plays,
"Nance Oldield,' one-act comedy by r.
B. Peattie, and w. S. Gilbert's charming
"Sweethearts." Miss Kimball especially dis
tinguished herself by conscientious work in
the title role of the former, and Miss Orris
Ober made favorable impression as Jenny
Northcott in the latter piay. Mr.. Short ap-
peared in both pieces, and Mr.. McKeon con-
tributed clever character sketch to the
Gilbert comedy.

On Friday and yesterday the state grand
council OF Nebraska was duly instituted in
the lodge rooms Of Union Pacific council in
The Bee building. The ceremony was per.
formed in the presence OF about fifty repre-
sentatives from the eighteen subordinate
councils in the state. The work of the ses-
sion was quite an arduous one, inasmuch as
the new body had to prepare for itself COM
plete constitution and bylaws and perform
the other work of organization. This and
the election of officers occupied the whole at
tentlon of the grand council.
The council has been organized only after
a mighty struggle. 1t was some months ago
when the idea was first considered seriously
and at that time there were lacking about 300
of the necessary 1000 members that would
be required before a state council could be
organized. The members, however, at once
set to work to attain their goal before the
meeting of the supreme council, and made
a great hustle for membership They sue
ceeded in getting the 1000 members just in
time, inasmuch as the session of the supreme
council occurs in Boston this coming week
II the requisite membership had not been
obtained in time 1t would have been neoes-
sary to wait another year before the grand
council could have been organized.
The grand council elected the following

A horse belonging TO North side
grocer fell dead in the alley just back
of George Hale's grocery store at a
little before o'clock Tuesday after
noon. The police were notified at once
but at $3.50 this morning the dead
animal was still obstructing the alley.
1t is said that no place could be found
for it's burial.
At late hour Tuesday evening two
juveniles, one mounted on horse, the
other on a wheel, engaged in a hot
race on Main street. When they
reached the corner of Wisconsin and
Main streets the horse turned before
his driver could control him. In max
ing the turn the horse fell with his
driver under him He was up IN a
second, however, and off again. The
boy in the meanwhile gathered himself
together and after looking after his
vanishing steed, quietly remarked, :"
guess this is a case of walk home,"
and went in pursuit. The race was
finished in Park avenue.
There was fair-sized house at the
Rhode Tuesday evening to witness the
performance of the double bill, Lend
Me Five Shillings" and "Uncle Josh"
by the Ferris Comedians" All who
were present enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely since the two plays were ex-
crutiatingly funny. The speciaIties
which were sandwiched in between the
two plays were very fine. By far the
best part of the performances are the
specialties. They are thoroughly up
to the hest in their respective lines.
The company is worthy of good houses.
If anything the bill Tuesday night
greatly improved on that of the night
before. If any criticism were to be
offered it would be that Mr.. Ferris
talks so fast that he runs his words TO-
gether, and it is with the utmost diff
Guilty the audience understands what
he has to say. The company is very
we'll balanced ard good one. In fact
there is hardly a stick in the lot.

TILDEN AND HIS WILL

Chicago Chronicle: 1t is a phenomenon
in legal history that one OF the greatest
lawyers OF two generations was unable to
write a valid will disposing of his own
property.
Chicago News: 1t is still undecided
whether the law or the lawyer is at fault
when such a famous practitioner as Samuel
]. Tilden cannot draw a will that will pass
muster in the courts.
Indianapolis Journal The breaking of the
Tllden will is only additional evidence In
support of the theory that If a rich man
wants to benefit the public he had better do
1t during his lifetime.
Globe-DemocrGt: The late Samuel J..
Tllden was a man OF considerable ability, but
that he did not know enough to write a
legal will setting apart a portion of his
fortune for the founding Of free Libraries.
New York Times But there Is a sentence
OF Bacon's which might have been com
mended to Mr.. Tilden In his lifetime, and
which may be commended to such Of his
survivors as cherish a like purpose with his:
Defer not charities till death; for, certainly
II man weigh it rightly, he that doth so Is
rather liberal of another mans than of his
own" 1t was impossible for Mr. Tilden to
spend the income of his fortune or a great
proportion OF 1t, so as to conduce to his own
haDplness and, as we have seen, there was
nobody who had any better claim upon the
principal than the public. II he had himself
carried out the scheme OF his own beneyO-
lence he would have been remembered by
his benehciaries as gratefully as Peter
Cooper Is remembered who did that wise
thing. who carried out his own will and saw
with his own eyes the frultion Of his good
purposes. II the Tllden library had been
built and equipped by Samuel J. Tilden the
investment would have been safe beyond the
reach OF greedy heirs

one of the provisions Of the Nebraska
constitution which seems to have been
honorcd more in the breach than in the
observance Is that which calls upon the
judges of the supreme court to make
biennial reports to the governor for
transmission to the legislature of de-
fccts in the constitution and laws which
may have been called to their notice.
During the course of every two years
hundreds of cases are finally adjudica-
ted by the supreme court, many of them
involving decisions holding laws or
parts of laws to be unconstitutional or
otherwise invalid. Frequently the
language of the statute is so obscure
that it is impossible to make out ex-
actly what was meant by the body that
enacted 1t. AS the presumption Is al
ways that the intention was to create
n valid law. the legislature ought to be
notified of its mistakes and given an
opportunity to remedy them If possible.
In the state of Missouri it has been
made the duty by statute for the judges
of the circuit courts to gather yearly to
discuss the laws and recommend to the
legislature such amendments as they
may deem necessary to their execution.
The conference of Missouri judges was
held last week at st. Louis and was
attended by nearly all the judges en-
titled to participate in It, From
the scope of the discussion and the char
acter of the changes suggested, the
of this judicial confer
ence ought to serve us valuable hints for
the Missouri legislature. They ought to
do much toward eliminating conflicting
provisions of the law and tone down the
body of law from year to year as the
defects and incongruites come to light
should contribute much toward simplify
ing its execution and making the work
and more satisfactory.
Compliance with the spirit of the pro-
vision of the Nebraska constitution on
the part of the supreme court judges
legislature and the people. If the SUI
preme court judges were TO take one step
further and invite suggestions from the
judges of the district courts and incor-
porate such as they approve into their
report to the governor all the good re-
suits of the Missouri system might be
had without any special legislation or
costly conference of district judges.
Something surely ought to be done to
smooth over the rough places in our
state laws and none are in better posi-
tion to advise us to needed amendments
than the judges of our supreme and dis
trict courts.

According to the statements OF men
who are in position to reflect the senti
ment of their communities, the south is
now more favorable to protection than il
ever was before. This is because the
people of the southern states have been
having their eyes opened tc tho natural
resources at their command and to the
opportunities for Industrial development
which they have so long neglected. There
is no question that the south will come
in for its full share of thd benefits of a
new protective tariff, and for that
reason southern representatives in con.
gress may be expected to take an active
interest in recasting the tariff, subject
of which they formerly fought shy.
