ACTIVITY OF THE PASTS.

The standing committees of the grand
cellent evidence of the continued activ-
ity of grand masters and grand patri-
archs after the expiration of their
terms at the head of the order. Eleven
past grand masters appear on the Grand
Lodge committees and four on those OF
the Grand Eneampment. The present
grand patriarch is past grand master.

Grand Lodge line. The three grand
representatives TO the Sovereign Grand
Lodge-Stier. Allan, and Fowler-is each
a past grand master and past grand high

is always good to see those the order

by holding active positions in the serv-
ice of the order.

TO show its loyalty to constitutional au-
thority-its members have done so at
all times and in every emergency in the
history of the Government. But the
traditions of the order are absolutely
opposed to public display except when
some duty peculiarly Masonic is to be
performed. We believe that the tradi-
tions of the order do not sanction the
appearance of its members in public
unless the occasion is ono in which
some Masonic ceremony, such as fun

Gil were Installed into office and strict or
ders were given to the police last night to
enforce every ordinance of the city, and
especially those pertaining to Sunday clos
ing OF the saloons and gambling rooms.
This is the result Of the fight made upon
MIR. Haller's reelection as mayor, the Sun
day closing OF the saloons and gambling
rooms being the main issue brought against
him by a majority Of the saloon men. The
only thing on tap today is soda water, even
the public drinking fountains not being
turned on until noon. This is the first
strictly dry Sunday that Blair has expert
enced for a number of years, and many
calls were turned in at the drug stores
for alcohol and bottled appetizers, which
were promptly turned down. II is reported
that several fishing parties were abandoned
for want Of snake bite medicine. Those in.

SECOND GOES TO The SAINTS
Omaha Loses Sunday Game to St. Joseph's
Husky Warriors.
CONTEST FULL OF FUN AND GINGER
Base Hits. Errors and Bright Plays
MinRIe in P%rOfusion and Great
Crowd H. Immensely
Well Pleased

Before a crowd OF 1000 people at Ninton
Street park, Sunday afternoon, the Saints
from the south out-errored the Rourke
Rangers, but they also outgeneraled and
outbatted them, so the visitors won at once
victory and vindication by a score OF Z to
5, the breathless defeat Of Saturday being
thus revenged.
From go to gone the game was one of in
tense interest, despite the errors that
checkered its career. This can be under
stood when 1t is noted that the score shows
a double shutout in the first, a tie in the
second, a tie In the third, a lead for st.
Joseph in the fourth. a lead for Omaha in
the fifth, a double shutout in the sixth, a
lead for st. Joseph in the seventh, more
scores for the visitors in the eighth, and
strenuous attempts by Omaha in the ninth
to save the day, resulting in a sensational
home run and two scores, but falling short
Of the required salvation by as many more.
Little Peter Burg was there with his two
hits, as usual, one a three-bagger, but he
demonstrated more clearly than ever that
he is not fast enough or sufficiently ex-
perienced to play an outheld for Pas
Pets up to the standard set by the other
two garden guards or by the inner circle
habitues. All three of the triple hits which
are credited to the Saints landed In his
territory. and a Genins would surely have
landed at least two of them, while Peter
also let Ball to first In the seventh by miss
ing his fly, which he could easily have
caught and held had he started for it
sooner.
Taking those features into consideration,
Owen threw a great game for Omaha, and
was not In any sense responsible for the
defeat. Thomas cinched the job as perm

run that scored Hickey as we'll. Score:

FIGHT MAY RESULT FATALLY
G. E, AOhsnga in PreoariOus Condition from
Kick in Stomach,
A. W. CARDsR UNDER ARREST FOR DEED
Men Tell different stories About
origin of the Trouble, but Both
Agree that II was over
n woman.

George E. Achenga was kicked in the
stomach by A.. w. Carder Saturday night
during a fight which occurred at the Klon-
dixie hotel. He is at the Clarkson hospital
with little hopes for his recovery. Carder
and May Walker, over whom the trouble
originated, have been arrested and are held
at the police station.
The fight occurred about 9 o'clock Satur-
day night in a room at the hotel. but was
not reported to the police until Sunday
morning. The men tell different stories as
to the tight. though both say 1t was over
the woman. Achenga told the police tina
he and several others we're in the room
and that because he spoke to the Walker
woman Carder, without any warning, kicked
him In the stomach. The pain was so great,
he said, that he went to his room, where he
walked the floor until about 3 O'Clock, when
he sent for Police Surgeon Benawa He be-
came worse Sunday afternoon and was re-
moved to the hospital.
Carder Tells His story.
Carder was arrested Sunday morning by
Detective Mitchell and to the officers said
May Walker and l and another couple
were in a room at the hotel when Achenga,
who was a stranger to me, looked in at the
door and as soon as he saw us began 10
swear at the girl and at me. went Into
an adjoining room and he left. Presently
Achenga came back and seeing me sitting
at a table pulled out a knife and rushed
toward me. I Jumped up and attempted to
kick the knife from his hand and my foot
struck his stomach. After that he left the
room"
May Walker told substantially the same
story as Carder. Achenga came TO Omaha
two weeks ago from David City, where he
had been employed on a farm. He came
originally from Peoria, ILL.,, where he wac
born. He is about 26 years of age. Carder
is a carpenter and came to Omaha from
Lincoln.
