THE ROYAL ARCANUM.
Opening of the Annual Session of
the Supreme Council

the Supreme Council.
The twenty-second annual session CT the
Supreme Council of the Royal Arcanum
was called to order at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon in the assembly hall OF the
Arlington Hotel by Supreme Regent Ed
son NJ. Schryver, of Baltimore. A short
address OF welcome was delivered by Rear
Admiral Schley, Past Regent of Farragut
Council. Admiral Schley's remarks were
very brief owing to the fact that he was
| to leave fer Omaha at $3.50. He extended
the welcome of the Royal Arcanum to the
District of Columbia, and congratulated
the society on its achievements in the
past and predicted continued success in
the future.
A brief recess was taken at the conclu-
sion of the admiral's remarks TO allow
the delegates and their wives an oppor-
tunity to shake 1.-The hero of Santiago by
the hand, as the Supreme Regent put it.
An executive session was called i'm
mediately after the departure of Admiral
Schley and lasted until late in the after
noon. Sixteen new members were initiated
and instructed in the secret work of the
order. There are ninety members of the
Supreme Council here. and several more
are expected today, including one from
California, where the organization has just
been introduced.
The afternoon was taken up by the sub
mission of the annual reports OF the su-
preme officers for the year 1898. These
reports show the order to be in a very
prosperous state. There are upward of
1876, 600 members, and the organization has
an emergency fund of over $3.50, coo. There
has been a gain of 500 members since jan
uary last.
Various petitions and memorials were
submitted yesterday from various councils
to limit the payment of dues and assess
ments for totally disabled members TO a
period of twelve months. Heretofore there
has been no limit. This change has re-
ceived the endorsement of the executive
committee II takes. however, n three
fourths vote to make any change in the
constitution of the order.
There is also a proposition for a change
! in the issuance of benefit certificates. At
present they are issued only for $4,000 and
| 500, which are termed full and half
benefits. The proposition is to issue in
addition to those now issued, certificates
| of $1,000, $4,000, and s2,500, to meet the
varying circumstances of the member.
The local reception committee had
| planned an excursion 10 River View for
| last evening, but owing to the inclement
| weather it was postponed, and the Con-
gressional Library was visited. The session
will continue for a week or more. the dele
gates remaining in the city during the
Peace Jubilee.

afternoon.

FRIDAYS STORM.
Plays Havoc in the Little Town
of Cicero.
Several Farmers Houses Unroofed People
Badly Scared but no Personal Injuries
Reported.

Southern Kansas was visited by its
usual nightly rain Friday night. The
storm was unusually severe and 10
places assumed cyclonic proportions.
AT Cicero, the front Of Daily's store
was caved in by the wind and Friends
store was moved of its foundation.
OuthOuses, barns and chimneys were
blown down, but no one was hurt.
Several parties In Wellington report
having seen a cyclone 20 over town
that night, and others heard ii. This
twister probably did the damage at
Cicero.
The roof OF o. Frambers' house on
the Simens farm three miles north Of
town was blown OF, the outbuildiDgs
and barns turned over and the wind
mill destroyed. The posts which held
the windmill in place were pulled out
Of the ground as neatly as II done with
a stump puller.
The brick house on the Nicholson
farm, two and a half miles northwest
Of Wellington on Slate creek, was
unrOoied and damaged otherwise.
The house Of A. NJ. McClOnkey, liv'
ing two miles north Of the city, was
unyoofed and the fence on the farm
was blown away IN places.
Numerous reports OF minor damage
by the storm have reached the city,
but nothing Of a serious nature, and
so far as known no one was injured
The storm appears to have swept
north Of Wellington. The wind wal
pretty strong at this place, and wal
accompanied by much rain and some
hail. Many people went to their cy-
clone caves and others to cellars. Tit
rainfall was lac inches.

Two Hundred Egg Hens.

How can we produce hens that will
lay 200 eggs per annua? By scien-
tiffc breeding, as for a good butter
COW or COW mixer, as for a good
trOtter or high jumping horse. Elk.
periments have been made TO increase
the number Of rows of corn on the
cob with success. The same method
is applicable to poultry breeding. We
will start with a hen that lays
40 eggs. Some OF her chicks will
lay $50 per year. From these we
will pick out layers, and so on until
200 or better are the result. At the
same time, it is just as essential tn
breed out OF males from prolific lay
ers as it is the females; in fact, it is
more 50. II we look after the breed.
ing OF the females only we will
Introduce on the Eale side blood
which is lacking in proficiency, and
thus will check every attempt in
progress. 1t is just as essential that
the male should be from the her
which lays lis eggs and from male
t rat was bred from hen that laid
80 eggs as it is that hen should be
from one that laid lis eggs and whose

Under the wealth of dollhouse
flowers adjoining Mrs. William c.
Whitney's grave on a hilltop over
looking the Little Neck meadows
near New York City, the freshly
turned earth is sown with powerful
tOrpedoes. The coffin is hemmed
about with them, and the ghoul who
undertook to strike his spade beneath
the surface would invite swift de-
structiOn. Night and day two men
are posted there TO watch the grave.
They were not planted there by the
gravedigger, but by strangers sent
there to finish his work for him;
men whose trade is TO handle explo.
siyes. But the posting Of police
guards was an afterthOught, and ii
may have been the result OF warn.
ing. One story that seems purely
gossip is that the body is decked in
valuable jewels and that word has
heen received of conspiracy to des
ecrate the grave for them. There is
an impression that apprehension
exists of an attempt to steal the body
and hold it Tor ransom, as was done
in the case Of A. T. Stewart. The
cemetery is in lonely place, and the
robbery Of grave there would be a
simple matter II no precautions were
taken. Mrs. Whitney's coffin was moi
laid 10 vault, but in the ground
alongside the grave OF Captain Ran
dolpb, her first husband.
