that initiatory ceremonies were to be

degree teams excel that of this lodge
in comforting the third rare treat

enthused by its splendid Interpretation,
which was made more effective by the
beautiful electric lighting system,
unique in the order, originated and in
stalled by Master of Work Fred j.
williams. The membership of the
lodge is of such a character that two
complete rank teams can be selected,
either one capable Of performing the
duties assigned with dramatic and i'm
pressiVe effect.
In the Interpretation given at the last
meeting members of company 20 Of
the uniform rank materially assisted
Many old time, observing Pythians ex-
pressed themselves as having never
seen this particular ceremony presented
In such an excellent manner.

was the presentation to Chancellor
Commander d. c. Casseman of a beau
tiful diamond set jewel, a unique ex-
ample of the jewelers. art, made by e.
Gerson, a member of the order, as an
evidence of appreciation and of the
esteem in which he is held by the
lodge. A. J.. Selig made the speech of
presentation in the finished, pleasing
and inimitable manner peculiar to him
self, which touched a responsive chord
i'm the minds of his hearers, and espe-
cially in that of Mr. Casselman, who
recovered his mental equipoise in time
to reply feelingly in few well chosen
words in accepting the gift.
Mr.. Casselman, as the executive head
of the lodge, has had the hearty CO.
operation of the members in the per-
Torrance of his duties in the past year,

FALL
A BIG PRODUCER,

Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. 24.-Assistant
State .Entomologist Smith has been
appealed to from all over the state for
help in saving the shade trees. The
fall webworm is the chap who Is caus-
ing the commotion and doing all the
damage. Inasmuch as the offspring OF
one female moth might In a single sea

number 125,000 caterpillars by early
fall, the job in hand of getting rid OF
them Is a big one.
In the summer the moth deposits
eggs on the under or upper side of the
leaf. These clusters have from 400 to
500 eggs, From one to two weeks later
the tiny caterpillars are Matched just
in time to find plenty Of tender leaves
upon which to grow fat, the parent
usually fixing the cluster at the end
of a twig or branch. Around these the
larvae weave their cocoon, the web
protecting them while they eat away at
the leaves. They leave only q skele-
ton and break away and go foraging
whenever their best feeding Is gone
at home. When so days old they scat
ter and deposit a second cocoon for
another brood In some crevice OF the
bark, the latter going n the ground
for winter quarters. Their extreme
hairiness makes them distasteful to the
birds, and only a few wasplike para
sites have been found.
Mr.. Smith says there are but tw
ways to kill them off. One Is By the

cheering corps OF the army, and Harry

without pay for a year for the six
members OF the third class.
The action of the president and the
secretary Of war is considered by army
officers to be perfectly adequate pun

Is expressed that 1t was deemed neces-
sary for the maintenance OF discipline
TO absolutely dismiss Rossell and

ATTORNEY GENERAL IN
CONTEMPT OF COURT?

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 26.-7In the
dog days OF August It may be a license
of speech to ask whether the attorney
general is skating on thin ice, but that
question is causing discussion in gov
eminent circles and among lawyers
who are familiar with practice In the
United States courts. 1t is caused by
the petition filed in Chicago by the
government in the circuit court of APP
peals asking a review Of the famous
500, 600, 900 Standard oil case. Attor-
ney General Bonaparte and his as
sistants, Frank b. Kellogg, special
counsel, and District Attorney Sims
and Mr.. Wilkerson, OF Chicago, did not
mince words in drawing the petition.
The serious reflections upon the court
raise the question as to whether there
is danger Of some one high in author
ity being held In contempt of court

considered by the district court of ap-

NEW SULTAN FOR
MOROCCO; BROTHER
MULAI ON THRONE

Tangier, Aug. 27.--The defeat of the
sultan, Abdel Aziz. by the forces Of
his brother, Mulai Hafid. has been con-
firmed. The sultan OF record was seized
on the night OF August 10, and most
of his troops deserted to the side OF
the usurping sultan after the firing OF
"a few shots. Reports indicate that the
defeat OF Abdel Aziz was due largely
to the betrayal of his own tribesmen.
Mulai Hafid has been proclaimed sui
tan of Morocco at Tangier, and an
nouncement OF the proclamation has
been t~elegraphed to all parts of the
country. All the officials who previous
ly had been under the rule OF Abdel
