At Hands of the Masonic
Fraternity.
MEMBER MARION LODGE
Elected to Thirty Third De-
gree at Boston.
Mr.. Busby P. Sweeney of This City
is Honored by the Scottish Rite
Masons.

AT conference of the Scottish
Rite degree Masons held in Bos-
ton on Thursday, September IL,
Busby p. Sweeney of this city,
was selected fer the thirty-third
degree. The honor is the highest in
Masonry and one which but few
Masons attain.
The pleasant surprise was per-
petrated upon Mr.. Sweeney Friday
morning when he received letter
from DR.. f. N. Kinsmen of CO.
lumbus who broke the news and ex-
tended the first congratulations DIR.
Kinsmen is member Of the
Scottish Right Body and "a warm
personal friend of Mr.. Sweeney.
Mr.. Sweeney stated last night, in
conversation with Mirror reporter,
that the honor like all high Masonic
honors, was wholly unexpected and
came as great surprise. Mr..
Sweeney has received official notice
Of his election and letters of con-
gratulations from various Masons
Throughout the country.
third degree Masons in the state of
Ohio and to this exclusive trio,
Mr.. Sweeney will be united. Mr..
Sweeney will probably receive the
degree at Buffalo year from the
time Of his election.
1t is a great homer to Marion
lodge that one of its members was
selected to take the coveted de-
gree. The order has been in ex-
lstence in the city for narly half
century but not until the present
time has such an honor been con-
temed upon cne of its members.
Mr.. Sweeney will bear the dis
tinction of being the youngest thir-
tv-third degree Mason in the state.
There are but few Thirty-Third de-
gree Masons in the country who are
under sixty years of age as it re-
quires MANY years of active service
to earn such an honor.
Mr.. Sweeney has been a mem.
ber of Marion lodge ever since the
order was in its infancy here. He
has been an active and enterpris-
ing worker and is at the present
time treasurer of the Masonic TEN
pie company.

CHECK CAUSES
MUCH TROUBLE
Laus After Laws to Recover
Loss.
LETTER IS NOW MISSING
It Contained Check for One
Hundred Dollars.
lack Laus Race Horse Man Stops
Payment on Check That He
Cannot Locate.

The loss of check belonging to
Jack L-a-u-s, race horse man, and
supposed to have been taken from the
post office by John laws, colored,
is causing Postmaster NJ. b. Dicker-
son all kinds of trouble and unless
the check is produced the p. M
promises to the have the laws on
somebody or other.
1t all happened this way. L-a-u-s
was to receive a check for 500 by
mail. When he called at the post
office he learned that his mail had
been given to a person who said
his name was laws or L-a-u-s,
the window clerk was not sure which.
The secretary of the agricultural
board and the postmaster were
called into consultation.
The records were looked up ana it
was found that colored driver by
the name of laws was attending
retary commenced a hunt for laws,
intending to have the laws upon
laws II he did not produce the
check belonging to L-a-u-s which at
that time seemed a total LOSS.
Soon afterward, L-a-u-s met laws
and accused him of taking the letter,
the check, from the post
office. laws told L-a-u-s that he
knew nothing of the check and that
he had not been to the postoffice
since he came to Marion. laws
finally told L-a-u-s that he (L-a-w-s)
had son named John laws Jr.
who is here at the present time and
that possibly the younger L-a-w-s
had the check.
When L-a-u-s and laws met the
younger laws, the young man de-
MED any knowledge of the check
which had been made out to La-u-s
which had been made out to L-a-u-s
father, laws SRI were supposed
to have taken. L-a-u-s has stopped
payment on the check so that Il will
be impossible for either, laws. the
elder or Laws, the younger. to
cash 1t and cause a LOSS to L-a-u-s.
But the postmaster is investigating
the case and II he can find any evil
dence against either the elder Laws
or the younger laws, he will bring
into play the laws of Uncle Sam
uel and L-a-w-s-o-m-e, what time
the court stenographer will have.

into the shop. There was shrewd-looking

thought it must be all mistake. But he
said he'd have talk with him on Monday
morning, and charged us to keep what we
knew secret till then.
When Monday came, the two were closeted

went down to the village. "Prex" came

asked "Prex." ''Did the man describe Drews $

I'VE recollected how we had put the ques-
tion to the pawnbroker, and were obliged to
confess that he had not.
"Then why couldn't it have been some
gested 'Prex.'' "Drew says there We're

there"
Harlan was very much dissatifed with the
way things were turning out. and ne OBJ
tanned permission to go to Philadelphia to
see the pawnbroker again. When he came
back he was more dissatisfied than ever.
The man. could tell him nothing: He had
forgotten the looks of the young fellow who
had tried to sell him the gold watch, and
that day to ask the prices of banjos.
Then we saw how we'd bungled the thing;
There was really no proof against Drew, and
for time Harlan had to let the matter drop.
"Stil | know that Drew is the thief" he
said to me. II almost feel like leaving Mill
dale. It's pretty tough to have to recite with
a fellow who's stolen your watch"
But Harlan needn't have worried about
that. The next day Drew didn't report, and
the first, thing we knew, he'd accepted regu-
lar employment at CneseDr0,6 grocery store.
Somehow the story leaked out and Drew
was well talked about. There wasn't fell
low who didn't believe he was guilty.
You never saw any one SO bitter as Har-
Ian. He was angry that Drew had gotten off
SO easily, and, whenever they met, as they
sometimes did in the village, expected a
collision.
Once, when three or four of us passed
Drew, Harlan said something about "thief.n

his voice trembled.

NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS
PROTEST.

President Roosevelt yesterday
gave a committee of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
to understand that in his next
message to congress he would re-
commend taking the duty of
print paper, and that, further, he
would have the department of JUS
tice investigate the alleged paper
trust.
1t is sometimes rather difficult
to prove the existence ola combine
in restraint Of trade, but when
it is found that the great
paper manufacturers do not COM
pete, it stands to reason that a
monopoly has been established.
The newspapers of the country
have seen the price of print paper
60 up continually in the last few
years, until it has been more than
doubled.
This situation has become so

serious that in many Of the east
ern cities the newspapers have
been considering charging seven
cents for their Sunday editions.
1t is noticed that the weekly
press and country newspapers are
bitterly complaining Of the extor.
ton which they are obliged to sub.
NIT to in this particular, and a
great many of these journals, al.
though republican in politics, are
denouncing the tariff.
This is naturally q serious con.
dition for the republican party,
and as a matter Of policy the ad.
ministration is almost bound tt
remedy the abuse unless it desires
to see vigorous campaign against
the protective tariff all over the
country.
There are probably other lines
of business suffering just as much
through the absurd schedules oil

manner of trusts, as the Newspaper
establishments, but the other
trades have not such q ready
means at hand to make their pro.

The audacity of the print paper
makers in organizing combine to
bleed the newspapers of the United
States certainly challenges admira-
ton.
