ANTLER ON NELL CASE F
TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT
The New York Organ of the b. p.
o. f. Says Some Caustfc
Things. 5~-

The Elks Antler, published in New York
city, and edited by Arthur C. Moreland,
one of the Oldest and most influential
Elks of the country, discusses the James
Neill incident as follows, under the head,
Tempest in a Teapot -, .-..:.. ....
Spokane lodge, No. 22S, recently undertook
to initiate a member of the theatrical profess
sion in the manner that seemed to. the lodge
one not calculated to inhct personal injury
or 1ndignity upon the novtiate,' but said
member of the profession. having his own
ideas OF sensitiveness, resented Spokane's
method by tearing off his blindfold and retir-
ing from the lodge. Had the incident closed
there, it would not have been worth record
ing, as it will be admitted that Spokane had
right to initiate in its usual manner any
candidate, and any candidate who did not de-
sire to follow the usual course had a right
to retire. There is pledge exacted from all
who enter the inner door of Elkdom as can
didates that even if they retire, they shall
not divulge any Of the transactions to which
they may become privy. This is not an oath,
but 1t is pledge of manhood, the assumption
being that If found worthy to unite them
selves with a lodge of Elks, candidates words
are sacred. In this case the member of the
theatrical profession rushed into print with
an open letter, stating his reasons and reveal
ing matters which cannot possibly interest
any one but the parties involved, to the gen
eral public. -.-- s
I do not propose to criticise the method OF
Initiation in No. 22s for that is a matter
which it must decide for itself, but L do most
seriously deny that the candidate Is entitled
to anything but disdain for having forgotten
his solemn pledge when accepted by Spokane
lodge The press of the west are wasting
much space on this subject, which can be
| summed UP by saying that in all probability
Spokane lodge is the gamer by the with
drawal of a candidate whose word of honor
did not outweigh his desire for advertising
posing, and the incident can be closed witt

Composition of the
Famous
GRAPE NUTS
FOOD.

A widespread interest has been created
among good livers as to the composition
Of Grape-Nuts, the popular food. 1t has
long been known to physicians, chemists
and food experts that the starchy portion
of entire wheat flour and barley is trans
formed into a true and very choice SUI
gar by the act Of intestinal digestion in
the human body. This sugar is identical
with, and is known as grape sugar, and it
is in condition for Immediate transforma-
ton into blood and the necessary struo-
ture from which the delicate nerve CEN
ters are built uo
A food expert Of the Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd, Battle Creek. Mich, followed line
of experiments until he produced the food
called GraDe-Nuts, of which grape sugar
forms the principal part, and it is pro-
duced by following out Natures processes
in q mechanical way. That is, heat,
moisture and time are the methods en-
ployed and directed by scientific facts
gained in research.
Grape Nuts are probably entitled to the
claim to be the most perfectly adapted
food for human needs now extant. Ger
tain it is that the users delight in the
flavor and the perfect action of intes-
final digestion during the use of Grape
Nuts is satisfying, and the added strength
OF body CONFIRMS ths tzsstN

CHICAGO JOBBERs WORRIED

over Way Twin Cities Cut Into Iowa
- '~ Trade. r-
Chicago jobbers are much wrought up
over the continued and gradually increas-
ing success of the Minneapolis and ST..
Paul dealers in their contest for the
wholesale trade in Iowa. The jobbers ex-
cursions of the past few years have di-
verified a great deal of the Iowa trade
from the windy city to the twin cities,
and dealers in Chicago now seem to be
making a desperate effort to take the
business away from Minneapolis and St.
Paul. 1t is said that Chicago houses
this year have in Iowa many representa-
tives who offer free transportation in or
der to get the merchants to visit and
do their spring trading in Chicago in
preference to Minneapolis and st. Paul, to
which cities they are able to get only one
and a fifth fare for the round trip, In
spite of this. the local houses are holding
their own, and no material diminution in
the amount Of their Iowa business is
noticed. s,..

of the Minneapolis Cycle Trade associa-

SHOCKS FOR THE SLOW
WHO WE'RE BEHIND WITH 'fAAEs
County Treasurer He'll Mah Al
a Alike Pay March
Penalty.

No mercy is being shown delinquent tax
payers under the present administration
at the county treasurer's othoe me men
who came in the next day or several days
after their personal property tax was oue
and asked that the 10 per cent penalty De
not imposed, as a special privilege, were
disaereeably surprised. The county
treasurer informed them that he regarded
the law was absolutely mandatory and that
in the strict discharge Of his duties there
was no alternative left him but to en-
force 1t.
It has been the custom to overlook the
penalty when the tax was paid the day
after It was due, and there was reason to
believe that failure to pay within the time
limit was due entirely to oversight.
Among the belated taxpayers was
county official. He offered plausible ex-
cuse and declared that former county
treasurers had allowed him several days
latitude. He appeared to think that he
was being made an example OF, notwlth-
standing the treasurer's positive assur-
ance that he was playing no favorites
Another case was that Of prominent
merchant whose intentions were doubtless
Of the best, who had placed his tax in
the hands Of the alderman of his ward
for payment, the latter having kindly Of
fered to save him the trouble. The re-
mittance was dated several days in adj
vance of March 1, but the alderman had
forgotten all about his mission until
March 2. The penalty amounted to a con-
siderable sum, but while the merchant
was clearly blameless, there was no re-
! dress. The alderman was told that 1t was
cup to him. to settle.
One of the first to suffer last year was q
man from County Treasurer Bells real
estate Office.
| In the majority Of cases, even where the
penalty on large property interests
| amounts to $500, and the failure to remit
| has been clearly the result Of fforgetful-
ness, the delinquents, while objecting al
first to the hardship, agree that, after all
| the enforcement of the penalty indus
! criminately is the business-like way Of
! conducting the office.

During the entire day there was
stream Of sympathetic callers at the
Arlington hotel, where the body Of
Mr.. Reed lay awaiting removal to the
railroad station. They included Pres
ideat and Mrs. Roosevelt, members
Of the cabinet and Of the senate and
house and of'Sne dlpiomatic corps.
Thomas Bracket Reed was born
October IS, 1889, in Portland, Me-, in
the common schools Of which city he
received his early education. In 1860
he was graduated at Bowdoin, win
ming one Of the highest honors Of
the college, the prize for excellence
in English composition. The next
four years was spent by Mr.. Reed
in teaching under study Of the law.
Before his admission to the bar, how
ever, he was appointed acting assist
ant paymaster in the United States
navy, serving on tho Tennessee, Cum
berland and Mississippi rivers. After
his discharge, in 1866, Mr.. Reed re-
turned to Portland, passed the bar
and entered on the practice Of his
profession. Three years later he was
elected as a republican to the legis-
lature OF the state Of Maine. In 1869
he was reelected to the house and in
1870 made state senator, from which
position he passed to that Of attor-
ney general Of the state the same
year. In September, 1875, he was
elected to the Forty-ffth congress Of
the United States. He took a conspic-
uous part in the proceedings Of the
committee appointed to investigate
the election Of President Hayes, Of
which he was one Of the minority
members. In the Forty-sixth con
gress his skill as q debater was rec
ognized, his influence each year be-
coming more strongly marked. The
leadership Of his party was finally
conceded to him and in the Forty
ninth and FifNeth congresses the
complimentary nomination to the
speakership was rendered him by the
republicans. In the Nfty-frst con-
gress he was elected speaker on the
Rst ballot. In the Mfty-seeond con-
grsss he was reelected speaker. In
TIE first days Of his administration
Of the ofRee much opposition was
made by The minority to the enforce
ment Of what Mr.. Reed believed his
constitutional power TO count mem

psting in a vote, despite their refusal
to use their privilege. A question
Of silence on such occasion constitut-
