With genuine interest she followed
the recital of his varied experiences
battles hardly won, obstacles overcome
with difficulty and ultimate success.
For some time their talk was merely
such as might have passed between
any W. old friends, and they both en-
joyed 1T thoroughly; but Edith did not
intend TO let her old sweetheart off
without some punishment. Seeing his
careful avoidance of tender topics, She
interrupted him in a description of
life in South Africa, and with a sudden
change of tone said:
Yes, Cliff, you men have much the
best OF 1t in a case of this kind. When
you are compelled to leave the girl

hasty remonstrance, when the realiza-
ton Of his position came to him. and
he remained silent.
"You say Edith just as you used
to say 1T when 1 tormented you so,
when we were-children. I never used
to like my name until you told me you
thought 1t pretty. Then. whenever you

She said all this with a little droop

Philadelphia Record Have YOU
noticed the improved quality Of the
coins 20 in circulation p asked the
trolley car conductor as he pulled a
handful of bright pennies. nickels and
dimes from his pocket for inspection.
It's due to an effort on the part OF
the government to put better money
into circulation by recalling the worn
n shiny pieces from which the inn
preston has become effaced. I've no.
ticed for the past two years a steady
improvement In this respect. All the
banking institutions now throw aside
the coins that show decided traces or
wear, and the treasury department re-
deems them with new ones. In Eng

LOCAL POLITICAL COMMENT
Democrats Getting Line on. Amount
of Fees Leslie Has
POck eted.

Daniel Horrigan, a democratic lawyer and
candidate for justice of the peace on the
democratic ticket under instructions from
the democratic county committee, is maxi
ing from the docket of the county court
list of the cases in which Charles Leslie
or other clerks in the office of the county
court have pocketed fee for posting no.
tees" or for swearing appraisers or 'ad-
ministering oaths." The list. so far as COM
pleted, covers only from February 20 tn
September /. 1906. but Mr.. Horrigan is max
ing a complete list.
This Zee is charged for posting a printed
notice to creditors, or rather for posting
three notices, one in the court house cor
rdor and two on telegraph poles contig-
uous to the court house. The law requires
that one copy of this notice to creditors he
published and three posted in conspicuous
places in the county.
There is no statutory provision for this
charge. But IL 1t is charged, legally or
otherwise, lawyers hold it should be ac-
counted for to the county. and does not
belong to the clerks In the office OF the
county judge. whose compensation is pro-
vided for by the county commissioners.
| Since February last this small piece OF
graft has been collected from about 10f
estates. In the six years the present county
Judge has been holding office the rakeofi
will, it is expected, be found to amount
! probably TO $500 Every cent OF this. col
! lected through the court as purely legal ex-
penses are collected, has gone into the
pockets of the clerks in the, ONCE. No pre-.

the matter under consideration, the points
raised being substantially the same as those
specified in this state.
Mr.. McAllister started suit In the district
court at Columbus TO enjoin permanently
the Royal Arcanum officers from increasing
his monthly assessments on his 5000 life
insurance policy and to enjoin the order
from cancelling his policy in case he did
not pay the increased amounts.
Payments Increase with Age.
He IL IS years old and took out his policy
in 1880. Until 1898 he paid $3.50 month,
after that $2.62, and now, by the action of
the supreme council taken this year Is re-
quested TO pay S10.77 a month. He con-
tends that the supreme council has no right
or authority to change the plan of assess
ment upon the age when person is assured
to assessment on the age attained. The
contention set up by the Columbus lawyer
Is that under the laws Of Nebraska the ac-
ton, IL enforced, amounts to withdrawing
from the obligation assumed in the policy
by the Royal Arcanum and the virtual
making of a new policy on q different plan,
A similar case recently has been heard
by a federal court in Tennessee. The ques-
ton has been raised in litigation in the
states of Massachusetts,, New York and
Pennsylvania also. Inasmuch as Nebraska
only has about 1000 members or the order
within its boundaries and the other states
: have many more, and for other reasons, it
was decided to hold back the Nebraska
suit until other courts had spoken.
Canadian Courts Reject 1t.
/ In the province of Ontario. Canada, the
courts refused an injunction along similar
lines asked for by McAlister
I w NJ. Giller,- who, with. his partner, is
/ handling the case Tor the Royal Arcanum
I'm Nebraska, was a member of the SUI
preme council for 1--WE years. This week
/ Attorney F. H.. Bacon of St. Louis, an
authority on fraternal insurance law and
! the author of one of the two books on
/ the subject, came to Omaha and conferred
with the local firm His opinion is the
| order will win out generally.
II am confident the right of the supreme
I council to make the change in the assess
! ment plan will be upheld by the courts, u
! said Mr.. Giller. 1T is provided in the
policies and contracts that the constitution
and bylaws may be amended at any time
in the proper manner. This is one of the
conditions upon which the insured accepts
the policy. The only question involved is
as to the reasonableness of the rates. This
can be established in favor of the Roya
Arcanum without difficulty"
October is the month set for the in
creased assessments first to fall due Mem
bers have until the end OF the month u
make up their minds what they will do.

The brief submitted TO the court argu

The brief submitted TO the court argues:
From this testimony 1t appears that the
live stock product made on the Missouri
river is nearly twice as much as that
made in the city of Chicago; that the
amount invested In the Missouri and st.
Is al invested I in in Chicago; that the number
of wage earners employed on the missouri
river and St. Paul is nearly twice as
we have made no such calculations as to
the interior packing points In Iowa and
Minnesota, but an investigation in that re-
gard would show that their financial inter-
ests are represented by very large amounts:
The of1cers, clerks and men employed
at the western, packing plants ON the Mis-
, than 5000 men These men have their
| homes and their families there. Rating
FIVE TO a family there win be a total OF
| injury that Is done TO the packing indus
! tries and live stock interests at these mar
kets. This represents the nunnoer OF pe S
! Industry, and this calculation does not IN
cIude the capital invested nor the NUMBER
people empGyed IN f me MISE ssoS river e
| and at ST Paul. Thus a eapltal OF more
! than $4,000 eco, producing a product valued
! al nearly $500, 600 annually, ana the en-
nioVine of 25OOO people. have pitted against
them in this proceeding the claim OF go OF
7oO commission men at the stock Yards IN
Chicago who have no capital STOCK nor
money whatever invested in live stock
! The argument concludes with this prayer;
"It seems clear 20 US that the judgment
prayed for by compliments ought not 10
be granted. but IL the court should be OF
the opinion that judgment should be en-
tered. then the order should be so framed
as TO compel corresponding reductions into
Missouri river points and into ST. Paul
wherever the rates are interstate rates
should the carriers in complying with the
order reduce the 23h-cent rate"
