, GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS.
Then followed the reading of the grand
master's address. The Introduction was de
voted to the deceased grand custodian , Lee
P. Gillette of Beatrice , whoso death but a
hort while ago caused so profound a grief
In Masonic circles. Said the grand master
of the late custodian : "Endowed with pe
culiar and marked ability as a teacher , ever
faithfully and earnestly devoted to his work
exemplary in his llfo and untiring In his
teal , wo are ; Indebted to him more than any
other ono for the high standing of Masonry
which today exists throughout this Juris
diction. "
During the year 109 brethren were called
from labor to eternal refreshment.
Continuing , the grand master. In recount
ing the work of the year , said :
"Historians will record the period marking
the last Masonic year as ono of the most
eventful and disastrous slnco the birth of the
nation. Early In Its history a financial
crisis unparalleled came upon us unawares.
Vet I am proud to state that the brethren
of the fraternity have so nobly risen to meet
the emergency , and throughout the length
and breadth of our fair state the subordinate
lodgcH have so readily und cheerfully guarded
the welfare of the brethren wttliln their re-
Bpectlvo Jurisdictions , anticipating the needs
of the worthy brother In distress , that no
appeal has been left unanswered , and In
very exceptional cases has the grand ledge
been called upon to render financial aid. And
now that the fury of the storm has passed ,
that the sunshine again breaks through the
clouds , and prosperity once moro dawns upon
us , wo have reason for congratulation that
the bonds of fraternal fellowship so strongly
uniting us have maintained us an unbroken
band , and without the loss of one , wo have ,
through mutual adversity , becotno only moro
firmly united , and present today a solid
front In the battle of life. "
Upon the subject cf "laying corner stones"
Grand Master Black paid this tribute to one
of Omaha's best known millionaires :
"On August 12 , 1893 , with the assistance
of the other grand ofllcers , I laid the corner
itcno of the public library In the city of
Omaha. Masonry has ever marched hand In
hand with education and charitable institu
tions , and It was with the greatest pride
we laid the foundation stone of this magnl- '
flqont structure , so notably both charitable
and educational , which , In Its well conducted
organization , supplies Its patrons with the
choice literature embodied In a well selected
library of over -10,000 volumes. I cannot pass
this subject without paying a small tribute
to the memory of our deceased Worshipful
Brother Byron Reed , truly a lover of the
arts and sciences , to whoso untiring efforts
during his llfo the library a.soclatlon Is
largely indebted for much cf Its present suc
cess , and who at his death contributed so
munificently to the permanent establishment
of this great enterprise , bequeathing to the
association the larger portion of the ground
on which the building stands , many choice
volumes from nil private library , and a rare
numismatic collection ot great value the
) ° f th ° opproxlmato value
"
The 'grand master recommended among
ether things the establishment of a properly
fitted and arranged grand lodge ofllce and a
change In the meeting time of the grand
lodge.

The contest of the will of the late Edward
F. Cook was commenced In the probate court
Tuesday afternoon. The deceased was one
ot the old residents of the city and died
March 29 , 1894 , at his residence. Twenty-

the sum ot J5.000 to the trustees of the Second
end Presbyterian church , situated at Twenty-
fourth and Nicholas streets , to be used for
the benefit of worthy yo.ung men who might
bo desirous of entering the ministry. After
the death of Cook Is was discovered that that
portion of the will had been cut out ot the
paper upon which It had been written. The
trustees of the church Insisted that the will
was mutilated after It had been signed ,
while the heirs of the dead man alleged
that the church had no claim upon the prop
erty.
All Over In a Ycnr.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Walton severed
the ties which have united George and Emma
Patterson as man and wife since the time of
holding the World's fair , last summer , the
female portion of the family securing the
decree. As told to the court , George was an
Individual who toyed with a matrimonial
agency , working from some town on the
Pacific slope. The wife answered the adver
tisement and a spirited correspondence fol
lowed. This ended In an agreement to
marry , Patterson Journeying to Chicago to
meet his brldo. Upon arriving In the city
by the lake , ho told Emma that he had se
lected her from among 400 blushing maids ,
and together they went to St. Louis , where
the ceremony was performed. After a mar
ried existence ot twelve hours , George
skipped the bed and board , which was taken
at the Lacledc , and never returned to his
first love. The decree was granted on the
ground ot failure to support.

Judgtf Scott has announced that he failed
In his efforts to get a Judge from the In
terior of the state to try the libel suit of
Mrs. Sophia Bennett against the editor of
The Bee , and that the case will be tried
by one of the Omaha judges.
Anton Sorensen has sued Ira Van Camp In
an action to recover the sum of $10,000 , al
leging that Van Camp was negligent In the
medical treatment of his wife , Martha Soren
son. This Is the second chapterof a similar
suit that was tried In JudgcJ Blair's court
during the early days of the term.
The case of William A. I'axton against El
mer A. Tlmyer has been dismissed from the
dockets , the plaintiff agreeing to pay the
costs. In 1SS1 the defendant executed a note
for 11,000 , and a few months ago suit was
brought to recover. He pleads that the stat.
utcs of limitation had run and that he was
not liable.
In the case ot Louis N. Godola against the
East Omaha Street Railway company , the
defendant has moved for n new trial , alleg
ing that the amount allowed the plaintiff by
the Jury was excessive. Godola was the
policeman who fell off the front end of the
motor while returning from Courtland lake
last summer. He sued for $10,000 damages
and recovered a verdict for 51,783.
In Judge Ambrose's court the case of Re-
glna Marrow against Emily Hespeler Is at
tracting the attention of a jury and a number
of the lawycis , ell of whom are watching
a butcher knife and a pear of shears which
have been Introduced In evidence. The whole
trouble grows out of a family affair , In
which one sister Is suing the other to re
cover the sum of $10,000 on account of per
sonal Injuries alleged to have been sustained.
In Judge Ferguson's court the divorce case
of Edgar W. Percupllo against Margaret L.
Pcrcuplle was called for trial , but It was not
ready for hearing. The court expressed the
opinion that there was something radically
wrong with the matters pertaining to this
case , saying that recently ho had received
three unsigned letters , stating that the man
In the case was living with another woman In
this city , and that the report was that
they were married. He ordered an Investi
gation , and the case was passed for this
purpose.

FOUND WITH SKULL-CRUSHED

SOME SUSPICION OF MURDER
Known to Have Hnil Money When
Lost Been Alive , Iiut llotli Cnih nnil
Jewelry llud Dltnppcnrcil Whoa
llli JJotly AVus Discovered.
About 7 o'clock yesterdny morning Private
James Herternnn , company D. Second
United States Infantry , was found dead be
side the Klkhorn tracks , near North Twenty-
nfth street.
The body was removed to the morgue at
once and an examination made. It was
found that the skull on the right sldo of
the head , Just above the car , had been
fractured. There was a scalp wound several
Inches In length. Blood had flowed freely
from the wound and had covered part of
the face. No other wounds or bruises were
found on the body , though the soldier's uni
form was covered with dirt.
At first It was supposed that an engine
had struck Hcffcrnan , but when the body
was searched at the morgue nothing but a
small note book , a pencil and three keys
were found. Then the theory of murder was
advanced. A sergeant of company D viewed
the remains and stated that HcfTcrnnn was
known to have had some money and a gold
watch. Coroner Maul thought possibly the
man had left his watch and money In
his locker at the fort , sea search of his
effects was made , but neither watch nor
money was found. The fact strengthened
the murder theory.
During the forenoon the coroner called
upon the Elkhorn officials and asked If any
report of an accident had been made. The
railway people pleaded Ignorance , but caid
they had a train which arrived here at 11
o'clock In the evening. In the opinion of
the coroner Heffernan bad been dead for
from six to eight hours , and It was this that
caused Mr. Maul to think that the soldier
had been struck by a train.
The. matter was reported to the police by
the coroner , and a couple of men will In
vestigate.
Heffcrnan was at the fort Tuesday evening
until after parade and then went out for it
walk. He has the reputation of being a
good soldier , Is not a drinking man and
never was known to pick a quarrel. Some
time ago Heffcrnan won someethlng like
$100 In some kind of a lottery scheme. He
was a card player , and as a rule always
had a little ready money In his clothes. A
few days after winning this money Heffernan
was held up and robbed , by whom It was
never learned. The police think that the
soldier was struck by a train and knocked
down the embankment ; that some one came
along , saw the body and rifled the pockets.
The deceased was 30 years of age , enlisted
In New York state and had served nearly
five years with the Second Infantry.
The coroner swore In a Jury to view the
remains , and then the body was taken to
Fort Omaha.
Officials at the fort , the police and the
coroner are Investigating the case. To
strengthen the murder theory , several per
sons living In the vicinity of where the
body was found claim to have heard some
shots fired between 10 and 11 o'clock last
night. An examination of the body falls
to show any bullet wounds.

FOUGHT WITH MOONSHINERS.
Itcvcnuo Agent rirmliiK Tell * of III * Tin-
rlo with Wlilnky .Makers.
C. J. Fleming. United States Internal rev
enue agent , with headquarters at St. Louis ,
Is In the city on a tour of Inspection over
his district , which Includes the states of
Mlsiourl , Iowa , Arkansas , Kansas , Colorado ,
Wyoming , Nebraska , North and South Da
kota and the terr.torles of Oklahoma , Ari
zona and New Mexico. Mr. Fleming was
a special ganger under the first Cleveland
administration , and was appointed to his
present position on the first of the present
year.
year.He was mixed up In a little brush with
moonshiners In the Arkanms mountains re
cently , which resulted In a couple of the
Illicit distillers being carried to Jail on
stretchers. Doth cf them were riddled with
bullets and buckshot , but notwithstanding
their serious wounds and contrary to the
expectations * ot the attending physicians ,
they recovered. One of them was convicted
and sentence stayed pending his restoration
to health , while the other was acquitted.
In speaking of his experiences with moon
shiners , Mr. Fleming said that It was well
nigh Impossible to break up the Illicit dis
tillation of whisky In the localities , where It
has been carried on to successfully for years.
"The stills are located In almost Inaccessible
places In the mountains , " he said , "and We
have the utmost difficulty In reaching them ,
oven when we know pretty nearly where
they arc. Then tha sentiment of the
people Is altogether with the moonshiners ,
and the revenue officers and federal officers
have uphill work of It. It Is prac
tically Impossible to reach them un
less wo have a guide who can
take us directly to the spot , for the lumber
roads cross and recfoss each other In a most
bewildering way , making It out of the ques
tion for any but those familiar with the
country to keep from getting lost altogether.
This .Is particularly true In the mountains
of Arkansas , where a new road Is cut out
every time It rains and the old one becomes
Impassable. Moonshlnlng Is a perfectly nat
ural operation with the people In those for
bidding regions , as they arc so utterly re
moved from a market for their corn that
the only way they can convert It Into mar
ketable form Is to make It Into whisky.
Whisky has practically become the medium
of exchange In some localities. A man takes
a couple of bushels of corn to the still and
receives Its equivalent In the distilled Juice ,
which passes current with everybody In that
section. It Is as good as money In the little
crossroads settlements , and I do not consider
It at all strange that the moonshiners should
find ample Inducement to continue the man
ufacture , even with the necessity of evasion
of the detection of the revenue officers.
"It Is a very ordinary quality of whisky
that they turn out , as they have none of the
Improved appliances" for conducting the fer
mentation. They hoyo lately taken to steal
ing the sixty to 100-gallon tanks that arc
Standard Oil company uses for shipping
naphtha and gasoline , and convert them Into
stills for the production of whisky. North
Carolina Is probably the banner moonshine
state , as 135 moonshine stills were seized
there in a single year. After a thorough
raid ot that kind they are somewhat scarce
for a year or two , and then they got stocked
up and go It full blast again. The most
successful raid and prosecution was at Fort
Smith , Ark. , where out of seventy Indict
ments returned there were fifty-six con
victions. I havotJust completed a trip over
ten states , and It .has kept me on the move
for six months. I go from hero to eastern
Iowa , and then the round Is completed , and
I will bo In shapo- start over again. "
