binary session Of the Fffty-eighth con

formed today. New senators had gone
through the formality Of taking Oaths
of office. seats had been assigned. and
with the exception OF the appointment
Of some vacancies all functions Of the
organization had been completed. :
More than two hours before the SEN

and these may be- discussed under the
rules on the day following their pre-
sentation. The republican members OF

which is an assessment company, n
he believes the Royal Tribe of Joseph
has no right to transfer Its reserve
fund, which amounts to over $50 900, as
that fund belongs to the members OF
the order. The Illinois company Is not
licensed in Nebraska. Mr.. Pierce's let
ter Is as follows:
Royal Tribe Of Joseph, Sedalia. Mo-
Gentlemen: You are hereby notified
that the license issued to your order by
this department March l, 1903, Is here
by revoked for the reason that your
order has transferred, without notice
to this department, and without notice
to its members In this state. Its assets
to another company, namely: Cosmo-
politan Life Insurance Association Of
Illinois, such company not being a fra
ternal order. but being an assessment
company of another state. In this
transfer you have turned over to this
assessment association, funds which
include the reserve or emergency fund
OF your order, which Is set apart for
the benefit and protection Of the men,
bers of your order. 1t is true that In
the contract you have made with tho
Cosmopolitan Life Insurance associa-
ton they have agreed to accept the
members of your order as its members
and that they assume the certificates
and policies of your order, and the liza
bilities of your order, but take them
subject to the conditions and limita-
tions stated in your contract; also,
subject to the bylaws OF the Cosmo-
politan Life Insurance association.
This department does not approve
OF this transfer and Is opposed to the
method that you have adopted In trans
ferring the same, and believes that you
have no right to transfer your reserve
fund belonging to your members to a
third person or patty: hence, the revo-
cation of yonr license. Yours truly,
CHARLES WESTON, Auditor.

CHAPTER ii-Continued.

Mr.. Burritt's face became flushed,
and he started to his feet with the
haste and hot Indignation which would
have done credit to II of half his
years. James," he cried, with pas
sion, lis this the way you speak,

He was evidently much moved, and
the other man could not but recognize
that the emotion he betrayed was gen.
uine. SO he, too, ros from his seat
and, catching MIR. Burritt by the arm,
said, my dear fellow, don't misunder-
stand me! Surely you did not take

ms eyes, as though to clear away
something which INSTRUCTED his vision.
Then, after a moments hesitation, he
continued: IL only landed in the old
country this morning, and it has
brought 1t all back again-all the
shame and sorrow, all the suffering
and remorse-it seems as fresh as

yesterday, instead of twenty years ago.

excitement caused by the meeting
for so many years. At any rate,
whatever the cause. there was no
doubt as to the effect; for he found
it impossible to sleep, or to do any
thing but toss from side to side, as
hour after hour YEARLY wore itself
away. BY some peculiar action of the
brain, he also found himself compelled
to review all the past scenes of his
life. and mentally. step by step, re-
trace the path he had trodden during
those fifty years or so, which went
to make up the sum of his existence
on this planet.
At last, in despair, he rose, and go
ing to the window, looked out upon
the night. 1t was a very moonlight
night-too much so, in fact. There
was something almost weird and
CHASTITY in it's effect. So he dropped
the blind with a crash, and went back
to bed again, hoping that, this time,
he might be able to sleep.
But 1t was the same thing over
again. Only this time his thoughts
concentrated themselves upon his
family and his home life. He remem'
bered, with q sense Of remorse. that
he had been a little-only a little
irritable at breakfast that morning,
and that he had spoken rather sharply
when Intercepted as to the purpose
of his sudden expedition.
Certain of his friends sayings had
grated upon his ear, and caused a
chill feeling of dissatisfaction and re
gret.
THANK God!" he had said when he
heard of the deaths of those others,
cut off, more than N OF them, be
fore they had attained their proper
span.
Mr.. Burritt turned ~uneasily In his
bed as hi reflected upon this, and re
mcmbered hat he was the only one
left who knew all. The only one his
friend had to fear. To fear! Surely
that was not the right way to put it.

citizens Of Kearney will play the cost

HOUSE@MONDAY.

Tho Fifty-eighth congress convened
In extraordinary session at noon Mon
day In accordance with the prOclama-
ton OF President Roosevelt for tho
purpose OF enacting legislation neces-
sary to make effective the Cuban reci-
procity treaty. The day was devoted.
to personal greetings and organization.
Many handsome floral tributes to
members were borne In unusual profu-
sion to the Hobbies back Of both the
senate and house members to be placed
later on the desks OF the members. The
new members OF the house received
their initiation to doorkeepers and
house employees and many were turned
back for Identification because OF their
slight hesitation on presenting them
selves for admission. Such incidents
contributed to the general lively ami
nation and good humor of the occa-
sion. .
The speaker was to be elected and
that this was the first session OF a new
congress added to the interest that
usually attached to an opening day.
Long before the hour Of noon, when

and a great many out-of-town visitors.
The floral display was never more
elaborate than today. The popular
members on both sides were remem-
bered in lavish fashion.
First OF Importance among the days
events was the election of Mr.. Cannon

OF the members and the drawing for

The democrats rallied around q new
leader, Mr.. Williams. (Miss.) having
been chosen to take the place of Mr..

Promptly at noon Clerk OF the House
Alexander Mcdowell called the house
to order. Prayer by the chaplain fol-
lowed.
A call Of the roll by states developed
a quorum, the clerk called for nomina-
| tions for speaker. Mr.. Hepburn (Ia-),
chairman of the republican caucus,
formally nominated Mr.. Cannon.
Mr.. Hay (Virginia). chairman of the
democratic caucus, nominated Mr.. Will
liams (Miss.).
AS the call proceeded 1t was noted
that old members generally occupied
their former seats, while new members
occupied those made vacant.
At the conclusion OF the roll call,
which showed the party majority for
Cannon. he was formally declared elect
ed speaker. and after being sworn In
assumed the gavel. The oath of office
was then administered to the members
and shortly afterwards the house ad-
journed.

A Collection of Pens.

The Carnavalet Museum in Paris
contains a collection of pens which,
while interesting from a connoisseur's
point of view as works of art, are no
less attractive to the historian.
Every time a sovereign visits the
town hall in Paris he is begged to
sign his name in the visitors book,
and for this purpose a richly orna.
mented pen is handed the royal visi-
tor.
For the intended visit of the king
OF Italy the city Of Paris has ordered
a special pen of the Italian stlversmith
Froment Meurice. The design is In
XVI. century style and is in exquisite
taste. The penholder is ornamented
with a little enamel cartridge bearing
the arms Of the House Of Savoy.

What have you to do with such an one

in his tone, a morbid jealousy in his
look. Mr.. Burritt refused to recognize
the presence of either.

you not?" he said, you will let me in

"Silas," he said, you are worn out.

They turned to leave the to-

KAISER Buster THAN MORGAN.

Latter Does Twice as Much Work as
the Big Financier.
Wall street smiled recently at the
naive remark of that remarkably active
person. the German Emperor, that j.
Pierpont Morgan was a buster man
than he.
Men in the street said the emperor
had been misled by the enormous in
terests centering about Mr.. Morgan,
says the New York World. AS mat
ter of fact, Mr.. Morgan. who is ire
mendously rapid worker, is rather
leisurely about getting down to his
office, and spends less than half the
time that the German Emperor does
in physical activity.
The daily work of the emperor would
overwhelm almost any man not
trooper, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing comparison, which gives only
a faint indication of the kaiser's varied
activities:
Morgan's Daily Routine
n. m.-Rises. Has bath. Reads
papers.
