of joy that victory had again perched

the tiling of the suit of the Royal Hotel

made an absolute denial of the allegat

answer in the case. She, however, de

merit amo!ig the members of the lodge
and considerable interest is manifested
in the outcome of it. It is the general
belief that Mrs. Latky as soon as she
is free from the restraint of the office
she now holds, will proceed to make
things hum, as she is a fighter and very
aggressive in her manner of handling
things.
The Royal Hotel was visited yester
day afternxn by a number of members
of the lodge, two of whom received an
itemized statement from the hotel peo
ple of the account which it is under
stood, will be investigated by the lodge
and possibly, settled. It is rumored
the matter was taken up at last night's
session of the lodge but no public state
ment to that elFect was given out. The
gravity of the charge and its retlection
upon the Orand Chief of Honor, makes
it probable a complete investigation
will be had.
Mrs. Latky was very active in fight
ing Miss llempel of this city for re
election, and did not have many friends
in this section. It was asserted fre
quently that she was the inspiration of
the fight of Mrs. Woolley, desiring to
have a Grand Recorder whom she could
control.
The other work of the lodge consist
ed in passing resolutions of respect to
several deceased members and the in
stallation of the new officers, and
directions for paying the salaries of the
retiring ones. The lodge adjourned
last evening.
From a phone message this afternoon
it is learned that the Grand Lodge of
the Degree of Honor in addition to re
electing Miss llempel for the sixth ccn

surprised to find that a large number
of her lady friends and acquaintances,
were aware of the fact that it was her
natal day, as they swooped down upon
her and gave her a most delightful
remembrance of the occasion.
As is usual on such occasions, they
found there was plenty to make them
feel at home, their charming hostess
having them indulged in games and
amusements of such sort as their fancy
dictated. There was also some delight-

them some tokens by which their visit
would be recalled, the guests had come
laden with gifts both costly and beauti
ful, the gifts including several fine
piaces of silver, while other gifts of
almost equal value were presented.
When it came time for the happy
party to break up and depart, each and
everyone united in wishing their hos
tess a recurrence of many such happy
events.

where they registered for Tripp county
land and afterward took a trip over the
land by automobile, spending an entire
day in a long auto trip, during which
they saw much of the country to be al
lotted to settlers.
"I never saw anything like it before, "
said Mr Hyers. "Dallas is a little
county village, yet it is wide awake
now. I never saw so much drinking,
gambling and rough conduct before in
my life as I saw on the way, and I
wouldn't advise to take the trip. Gam

in getting accommodations. There is

little more from Peoria than they do

Adams Gets Damage.
The jury in the L. C. Adams dam
age case against the Burlington rail
road, which occupied the court nearly
all last week, returned a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff, fixing the amount
of damage at $3262 50. The case was
given to the jury Saturday evening and
it took but a short time to settle on a
verdict and fix the damage. The suit
was brought to recover damage for the
destruction of Adams' crops by the
overflow of Pony creek last year caus
ed by insufficient outlet for the water
across the company's right of way. A
score or so of similar cases have been
tiled against the Burlington. The de
fendant filed a motion for a new trial
and in case the motion is denied an ap

Depart for Illinois for a Visit
From Saturday's Daily
John Lohnes, wife and daughter,
Mrs. James Terryberry, departed yes
terday afternoon for Pekin and Peoria,
Illinois, where they will visit their old
home and old friends. It has been
thirty-eight years since Mrs. Lohnes
and Mrs. Terryberry visited their old
home and they return with the most
pleasant anticipation of a good time
I among their many friends still there.
They expect to be gone for some time
and will try and have as enjoyable a
time as possible. They of course,
realize that there will be many changes
and may be some disappointments but
despite all that they are sure there
will be many left to give them good
cheer.
Mr. Lohnes is one of the most flour
ishing farmers in this vicinity and he
numbers his friends by scores, all of
whom will be rejoiced to see him have
a good vacation and a splendid time.

the latter point vas particularly asked
to attend. A reception committee of
fifteen members is to be appointed,
which will gt to Nebraska City to meet
Mr. Bryan and escort him to the city.
The City Band was engaged for the oc

"the singing evangelist," will be asked
to attend and take a place upon the
program. He has already kindly an

that night. There was a great deal of
enthusiasm manifested and from reports
from all the country, the club believes
a great victory is about to perch upon
their banners. The club adjourned to
meet Tuesday night, October 13, at the
room of H. E. Wilson, two doors east
of the council chamber.
Had A Rough Trip.
From Saturday's Daily
Frank Hessenflow of Cedar Creek is
in the city today. Mr. Hessenfllow has
just returned from a trip to O'Neill
where he registered for the Tripp coun
ty :.land drawing. According to him,
the trains going to that country are
loaded down with a mob of people and
the amount of bad whiskey which they
are consuming is something enormous.
He describes the train he was on as a
sort of bedlam, the general talk being
politics which is every now and then in
terrupted by a fight occasioned by a
gambling game or bad liquor. He was
not in O'Neill more than an hour and
trip. He describes the nights on the
trains as very cold, the road not fur-
