LODGES WIN A CASE.
Have Right to Change Assessment
When They Please.

The supreme court today unan-
imously reversed its former unan-
imous opinion in the mandamus ac-
ton brought against the Knights and
Ladies of Security by John NJ. Miller
to set aside the new sliding scale of
insurance adopted by the order some
time ago. The decision is of great
Importance to all insurance orders.
Miller contended that the order had
no right to change the rate of pay
ment on his policy, and he brought a
mandamus action in the supreme
court to compel the officers of the
lodge to accept his old fat rate in
stead of compelling him to pay the
new sliding scale adopted by the ma
tional council. His attorneys argued
that his policy was a contract and that
the order must abide by the terms of
the contract.
The supreme court held that this
contention was good in the first de-
cisiOn rendered in the case. and Mil
ler's mandamus was granted. The at
tOrneys for the order secured a re-
hearing, however. and advanced the
argument that as Miller had signed
an agreement to abide by the rules
and regulations of the order, that the
conditions of his policy were governed
by the rules and regulations to which
he subscribed. On this argument the
court reversed its former decision to-
day and rendered a unanimous opin-
ion denying the writ of mandamus

BASEBALL NEXT WEEK.
Seven Games Are Scheduled to Be
Played in Topeka.

There will be seven games of base
ball in Topeka next week at Wash
burn park. Here is the schedule:
Monday, May 9, Washburn VS. VIII
liam Jewell college.
Tuesday, May 10, Washburn VS.
Kansas State Normal.
Wednesday, May II. Topeka VS.. Sc
dalia (VaIey league).
Thursday, May u, Topeka VS.. Sc
dalia (ValIey league).
Friday, May IS, 1870 o'clock, Wash
burn VS.. Kansas Southwest college of
Winfield.
Friday. May 10, $3.50 o'clock, To-
reka VS.. Sedalia CValley league).
Saturday, May IA, Washburn vs.
Kansas university.
The majority of these games ought
to be exceptionally good. The three
league games between Topeka and
Sedalia should be among the best of
the season, because the pennant will
probably lie between these two teams
and Joplin
There are two rafting good college
games on the list, the one between
Washburn and the State Normal and
the one with between Washburn and
Kansas university. The Normals were
when they played before, and Wash
the game which they played earlier in
the season.
There will be a double header on
Friday but not for one admission.
After the collegians play their game
a toll will be taken from every one in
and who wants to stay and see the
league game.

Suggestion From Mr.. Gage.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Mr.. Eldridge is reported in the Cap
ital as recommending that the city en-
ter into a contract with the Edison
Light company to build an auxiliary
water plant to furnish additional pow
er in case of fires. The city of Topeka
is about to complete a contract for the
purchase of the city water plant at the
enormous price of six hundred thou
sand dollars. It seems to me in COM
mon with the views of many other
tax payers, that If the city plant will
not furnish sufficient power for ordi-
nary fire purposes our contract to pur-
chase the water company's plant
should be annulled. If it is too late to
do this then the city should add to the
power of the plant when the purchase
is completed rather than let a contract
to private parties to build and own a
rival waterworks plant

Uncle Joe's Way.

Everybody in the house of repre-
sentatives knew about Macs little bill;
but everybody knew, too, that the
sneaker would not let him call it up.
Mac had buttonholed about every
member of the house, Democrats as
well as Republicans and, as they all
liked him. they all said he ought to
have a show for his bill. They knew
from personal experience how i'm
portant one of these little local meas
ures may become to the member who
wants it. though to the public at large
it may appear entirely insignificant.
Uncle Joe Cannon had exposed his
regret at refusing, but was adamantine
in his intention to hold the house
business to the regular lines which
had been laid out, and not to make
an exception of anything that could
mar the symmetry of the party policy
in process of evolution. Even the
president had been appealed to in vain
for a brief loan of his influence. It
therefore occasioned some surprise
when, shortly after the invocation by

Bright's Disease and
Diabetes News.
Law Onces of Henley & Costello.
San E-ranniscn Cal NTarcl, 90

otil FRANCISCO, cal. March ~.
To the legal profession of Kansas:
I was a witness to the following:
About two years ago Prof. Yost of Palo
Alto who was in an extreme condition
due to advanced Bright's Disease. came
to my Office. He was attended by his
physician who was himself a victim of
Diabetes. The object of the visit was to
meet prominent business man who
had for months been investigating an
alleged cure for Bright's Disease and
Diabetes. and hear his verdict. He de-
clared that the claims were fully proven
and that the cure had been discovered.
Both Prof. Yost and his physician at
once adopted the treatment. Within six
months both were so we'll along towards
recovery that they considered them
selves beyond danger and at this date
neither Bright's Disease nor Diabetes
hold any terrOrs for them and the
physician is successfully using the
treatment in his practice.
Learning that my old law partner
Judge r. r. Bigelow. for many years
Chief Justice Of the State of Nevada
had Bright's Disease and that though
he had had four or FIVE of our best
physicians yet that he had had to give
up practice and was in a serious con-
dition, I lost no time in telling him of
the above. 1t resulted in his complete
recovery and he is again back to active
practice. As to the durability of chronic
Bright's Disease and Diabetes [ have no
more doubt about it than that I am
living. Sincerely yours,
BARCLAY HENLEY.
