K.OFP.S UPREMETRIBUNAL
DECISION IN AN IMPORTANT CASE
FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
Supreme Representatives Must Be
Elected by the Grand L~Odge-Other
Cases of Interest.

The Supreme Tribunal of the knights of
Pythias, which is in session at the Clay
pool. decided several cases yesterday. one
of which is of especial interest to the order,
involving the manner of election of supreme
representatives in the domain of Pennsyl-
vania. In Pennsylvania the supreme rep
resentatives have been elected by the past
chancellors of the subordinate lodges. the
elections betting held in the several subordi-
nate loges and the returns certified to a
committee, which in return reported to the
Grand Lodge, which ratified the election.
Such an election was held in June Of this
year, and Albert T. Guyger brought an ac-
ton before the Grand Tribunal of Pennsyl-
vania asking an injunction. A temporary
injunction was issued, but it was later dis
solved. Guyger then took an appeal to the
Supreme Tribunal, which reverses the de-
cision of the Grand Tribunal.
The Supreme Tribunal finds that the SUI
preme representatives must be elected by
the Grand Lodge itself, and that an cleo
ton by past chancellors of the subordinate
lodges is null and void. Each domain is
allowed two representatives for the first
1000 members and one representative for
each additional 10000 members, to be known
as representatives at large and additional
representatives. The grand keeper OF rec
ords and seal in Pennsylvania in preparing
the ballots for the election CLASSIFIED the
candidates as candidates Tor supreme rep
resentatve, representatives at large and
additional representatives. The Supreme
Tribunal holds this classification to be In
violation of the laws of the Supreme Lodge.
The case is of general interest to the
order in that q similar plan of election has
been followed in several other domains.
Other cases of minor importance were
passed upon, but the Supreme Tribunal has
not yet passed upon the case involving the
appropriation by the Indiana Grand Lodge
of $5, 600, TO be raised by assessment, for
the Rathbone Sisters. to be devoted to the
establishment of a Pythian Orphans Home.
A decision in this case is expected, however,
before the tribunal adjourns to-day.
The Supreme Tribunal reorganized at this
session by electing Judge John III. Alex
ander, of Leesburg, Va, chief tribune. r.
A. Brown, of Indianapolis, was reelected
recorder for a term of two years. The Su-
| preme Tribunal was formerly composed Of
five members, but it is now composed of
| three, Judge Alexander, Judge j. +. Hilsch-
er, of st. Paul, and Judge Tully Scott, Of
Cripple Creek, Col.

AT POINT OF DEATH.
stephen C.. Dixon, High School Ath'
Iete, in Serious Condition.

Stephen C. Dixon, well known as a Man
ual Training High School athlete, and
prominent among the young people Of the
city, is lying at the point of death at his
home, 2325 Ashland avenue. Blood poison
ing has set in. Some weeks ago young
Dixon's mind gave way from overstudy
and attempting to do night clerical work
at the University Club while going to
school.
James Dixon, father of the young man,
says that while in a private hospital
Stephen, through the carelessness of the
attendants. fell and cut his leg, which re-
suited in blood poisoning. He was later
taken to the Central Hospital, and about
two weeks ago removed to his home. Since
then he has grown steadily worse, and
little hope lis given by DR.. j. G. Fisk for
his recovery. While at the Training School
Stephen Dixon was one of the most popular
members of the baseball team, and was an
all-round clever athlete.

ABOUT BEES.

The exact legal status Of the bee has
been long a matter of dispute. Recent
~ the supreme court of western
state defined them as wild animals"
and declared their owners to be liable
for any damage which they may com.
NIT. The case decided arose in this
way: A patent medicine peddler hitched
his team one day near hive OF bees
located on farmers premises. and the
bees attacked his horses and stung them
to death. The farmer claimed in the
suit for damages which followed that
the bees were in plain sight from the
highway and that the peddler was
guilty of contributory negligence in
hitching his team near the hive. This
the court overruled and held that the
bees were wild beasts to all intents and
purposes and that the owner was liable
for any damage they committed,
whether off or on his premises.

His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo. Mont.
In the first opening of Oklahoma
TO settlers in 1899, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he en-
countered much bad water, which, to-
gether with the severe heat, gave
him very severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound sleep
for fortnight. That one little bottle
worked complete cure, and he can
not help but feel grateful The season

MERCANTILE FAILURES.

The inside view of mercantile bust
ness. il exposed. would often quickly
dispel the glamour and fascination
which such business has for some men
who think their lot on the farm is a
hard one. One such case came recent
~ under our notice-the winding up Of
the affairs Of firm which had been
continuously in business for thirty-fv
years. The firm consisted of two broth
ers Of honorable reputation as good
business men and who We're supposed
to have done well. When the business
was closed up, there was only just
about enough to pay the debts. The
two families had just lived out Of the
business, and that was all. The capt.
tai invested was about $4,000. What
farmer investing even one tenth of this
sum thirty-fve years ago could not
have made better showing than this?
