QUESTIONS FOR THE MAsONS
Grand Lodge at IT'S
Session.

The Masonic grand lodge Of the state will
convene at Freemasons' hall, Omaha, June
4. with Judge r. n. Evans of Dakota City
presiding. The session will have consider
able interest to the craft In the state, as
several important questions are to be con-
sidered and some OF them may be finally
settled. One of the most important masters
to come before the body will be the orphans
home. For some time a fund has been
maintained for the purpose Of providing a
home for the orphans OF Masons OF this
jurisdiction, but no steps have been taken
looking toward an expenditure OF the money
In the manner contemplated. The income
from the fund has been used in charitable
work. At least in part, and the question OF
continuing to set aside a part Of the In
come will come up on a proposition to de-
vote the entire income to charity. While
such a proposition might prevail under
ordinary. conditions. a suggestion will be
made at the grand lodge meeting for the
location Of an orphans home and the ex-
penditure of the principal sum In the way
originally contemplated. 1t is understood
that an OFFER will come from a town in the
central part OF the state to have the home
located there upon the donation Of a GER
tain part OF the money necessary to equIp
inc lubllbutlOus IL 10 now certain that
neither Of the propositions will be accepted
at this meeting, but II may be considered
and passed over for another year.
At the last meeting of the grand lodge
a resolution was introduced making Omaha
the permanent seat OF the grand lodge.
This matter will probably be settled at
the coming meeting and 1t is not improb-
able that the resolution will prevail, as
In the opinion of many OF the members of
the grand lodge a permanent location is
Is desirable and 10 place Is as easy Of
access as Omaha from all parts OF the
state.
At the present time there are Isl lodges
entitled to membership In the grand lodge,
and as each may have. three representa-
tives 1t will make a body of about 800
members, including past grand masters. 1t
is expected that OF this number SOD will
be present at the meeting. which will prob
ably continue for three days.
Previous to the meeting Of the grand
lodge on Wednesday there will be a meet
ing of the Veteran Mason's association of
Nebraska. Several candidates will be ad-
mitted to membership, a luncheon will be
served and officers elected for the ensuing
year.

FLOODED bulldogs ambled down to the Wa

electric light company is directed to place

WITNESS AND PRISONER GONE
County Attorney Will Be Busy Suing
on Recognizance Bonds
for n Time.

Martin Shields, policeman, was to have
been tried yesterday for assault on V. b.
Walker, but the case has gone over until
Thursday because Charles Mars, a witness,
did not appear. johnnie" Wright of South
Twelfth street was in his bond for $500 and
the county attorneys ONCE threatens to
sue Wright, the bond being declared for
feited, but It is said that the subpoena was
left at wright's saloon for Mars and not
served on him personally.
The county prosecutors are also stirred
over a report that Joseph Hennessy has
departed for lands unknown, and a capaias
was issued, It being the desire to hunt him
down, IL possible, rather than sue on his
$500 bond. signed by J. j. Ryan. Hen
messy is one Of the lads charged with as
saulting Anna Wessenburg OF South Omaha
and has been fighting the case stubbornly'
first on the error OF Police Justice King In
stipulating in the bond that he appear at
next term Of district court. and, next, as a
plea in bar that he should not be further
prosecuted, as the information against him
was filed while the grand jury indictment
was against him and that this indictment
was later nolled by the county attorney.

HS Trouble in Escaping.

s James r. Riley, arrested for swindllng
two young lads from Iowa out OF sos, made
his escape from Constable King late Satur-
day afternoon, and now has every police
man and ofncer in the city on his track.
Riley had been a%rraigned in Justice FOs-
hers court and wac allowed to go out with
Constable King to secure a $500 bond. The
two drove to a pawn shop at Sixteenth
and California streets and there was where
the escape was effected. While the of1cer
was tying his horse Riley leisurely saun-
tered into the shop. When he reached
the center OF the room, and the of1cer was
ut the front entrance. Riley took a hitch
In his trousers, bucked up like an enraged
automobile and made a dash for a eide
door. So did King. Riley reached It two
lengths ahead and kept a lengthening. Be-
fore a block had been run Riley had set
tied down to a good, steady two-minute
clip and King hadn't reached a second
term pace. In the second quarter King
took a squirt, but couldn't keep up the
pace, and was shut out in the third block.
Riley breaking and running through a sa-
loon. King kept the road and reported
the race to Judge Foster.
Riley is charged with a crime that has
made Iowa ruralites famous, the marks
this time being Edward H.. Nelson and
his brother Henry. Riley sold them a
dog and music show. which they say he
didn't have, for S105, which they want
back. Tho two boys came from the coun-
try precincts Of Iowa recently and were
present at a dog and pony show held here.
Enthused by the dress suit Of the ring
master and the uniforms OF the tentmen,
they yearned for the easy, get-rich-quick-
life Of the show man. They returned
home, sold their prospects for a wheat and
corn crop and came back to Omaha to
look UP a show. They met Riley and
Riley did the rest. He was the proud
pwner of the finest dog and pony show in
all the world. SO he said, and 1t included
educated monkeys, goats that wouldn't eat
in cans, a patent medicine machine that
made a steam caliope ashamed of itself
and It took two men to take in the money
ut the door. Besides all these. the boys
said, Riley had a license to show in Avoca
and that he expected to make a mint Of
money there. and II they would hurry It
would only cost the boys $105 to get in on
the ground floor with a half interest. The
boys got. First securing Riley's promise
to pay a small board bill they owed In
South Omaha and for which their baggage
was held as security. Later the boys
called for their baggage and learned that
Riley had failed to pay. They got sus-
picious and had him arrested and have
promised the officers that they won't 60

Mother Makes Heroic Rescue.

a gas stove exploded in the kitchen
of A. ]. McCurdy's home at Sunbury
one day last week, destroyed three
buildings and almost caused the deaths
of two children who were herocally
rescued by their mother. When the
blaze was at its height Mrs. McCurdy
rushed through the flames into the
house and up the stairway to the sec
ond floor, where her two children were
sleeping.
Grasping Raymond, aged S, by the
hand and lifting her S-months-old babe
in her arms, she attempted to fight her
way through the thick smoke down
the stairway. She was compelled to
retrace her steps. Then, appearing at
the second.story window, the brave
woman dropped the boy, who landed
safely in the arms of men below.
Mrs. McCurdy, with her babe clasp
ed to her breast, leaped and was caught
by several men. The woman's eye
brows and hair were singed.

William, about two and one-half miles
from Middleburg, sucumbed to death
after suffering about four months with

him to take his bed. He was kind
father and man in whom all placed
implicit confidence and will be greatly
missed by the community in which he
lived. He is survived by five children
Amanda, Jane, Adam, William and
Aaron who mourn their loss of kind
and indulgent father. The funeral was
held from his late home on Saturday
morning and was largely attended. In
terment in the Salem church cemetery.
Aged 6S years and s months. His wife
proceeded him To the grave about 9
years.

Big Mine Resumes.

The Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company last Thursday resumed oper-
ations at its No. II mine, between
Pottsville and Mauch Chunk, one OF
the largest collieries in the region. The
move Of the company was unexpected.
No. T. breaker is n very modern
plant and has connected with il an up
to.date jig house, by which the slate is
picked from the coal and the sizes as
sorted all by machinery and washing
process, whereby ten men or boys can
do the work that requires from one
hundred to two hundred hands at 9TH
er breakers.
There has been no special demon
stration by the idle workmen and there
is likely to be none, rs there haye been
so many arrests in this vicinity recent
ly that the lawess spirit is pretty well
broken. This Is the nearest approach
to the actual complete operation of Il
colliery that has yet been made any
where since the big strike commenced,
and it may lead to the starting Of one
of the other of this company's collieries
within few days full-handed.

Repetition of the Red Sunsets.

The prediction is that this year we
are to have repetition Of the nlyster-
ious red sunsets that puzzled so many
people i'm 1888, which were at that
time attributed by scientists to volcan-
ic dust in the atmosphere. 1t was in
November and December of that year
that an extraordinary lurid glow in
the western sky after sunset was seen
in all parts Of the world The great
volcanic eruption of Krakatoa had oc-
cured on August - and the theory of
volcanic dust causing the phenomenal
sunsets received general support; and
later positive evidence was adduccd
that during the prevalence of red sun
sets dust of this character was present
in the atmosphere in parts of Europe.
AS this has been n year of volcanic
disturbances rcappcarancc of TIE phe-
nomcnon is looked for, and observers
have already seen indications Of this
character in the Adirondack region of
New York state, where on recent eve
nings beautiful rose colored aureolc
rested on each mountain peak in the
neighborhood of Lake Placid.

The River Coal Industry.

Geoge Hartlein, secretary of the Unit
ed Mine Workers Union, went to
Herndon to investigate the river min
ing industry. One contractor there is
shipping from seven to ten carloads Of
coal daily. He pays each man $l.55 a
day for his labor, and it costs him 30
cents additional to load it on the cars.
The contractor gets an exorbitant
price for the coal and is reaping large
returns through the industry. 1t was
the mission of Hartlein's at Herndon
to persuade the men to cease scooping
as it hurts the miners cause.

The Cow to Have.

4 Beardstown lad is credited with
saying that his father has very re-
markablc COW. He said that the COW
has Il particular fondness for apples,
and that on one occasion, after she had
gotten INTO neighbor's orchard and
eat all the apples she wanted, his
mother milked her, churncd the milk,
and got three quarts of good apple but
ter. On another occasion the cow ate
oil the tail of an old rooster that roost-
ed in the stall with her and the next
morning in place of giving milk she
gave gallon and half of the finest
kind of cocktail.
