MCW TOUR CtTT. mrs. emma b. manchester WiNS HER CASE Supreme Guardian Continues to Con trol Field Work Judge Fan- ' cett Dissents From Opinion of the .Court. ... , ... r - Woodmen of tlie World, spare that Manchester tree," is the effect of a judgment of the supreme court of Ne baka in the form of an order of in junction prohibiting the supreme executive council and Dora Alexander and Mary E. LaHocca from interfer ing with the duties of Mrs. Emma Ii. Manchester, supreme guardian of the Woodmen circle. The order of the court was issued as the result of liti gation between contending factions in the Woodmen circle. It settles the controversy in favor of Mrs. Man chester. The supreme executive council of the Woodmen of the World had at tempted to deprive Mrs. Manchester of the control of certain duties which she has heretofore performed, partic ularly the control of field work, such as the organization of local groves and the appointment of field wokers, ind the control of the official newspa per of the organization. The council sought to clip the wings of the supreme guardian by passing a resolution giving the field work and certain other duties over to a com mittee of the three, of whom Mrs. Manchester was one and Dora Alex ander and Mary E. LaRocca were the others. Attorney General Reed started on original action in the supreme court to decide who was boss in the fratern al order. The supreme court holds .At he has a right to file such a suit. The court finds that the executive council could not take the action it did take without authority from its supe rior body, the supreme forest, and the action of the council was void. The court finds that the language of the laws of the organization is ambiguous as to powers and duties of certain bodies adn officers, and when this is the case it holds that in as much as Mrs. Manchester has been performing certain duties she may continue. Judge Fawcett dissents from the opinion of the court. He holds that the resolution adopted by the council is not legislation that needs the sanc tion of the supreme forest, but is an order from the council as to how the busines of the oganization shall be managed, that the resolution is with in the power of the council which has general control. Judge Fawcett holds that this general control extends over the supreme guardian, and that be cause no such order had been found necessary in the past does not mean that the supreme guardian, Mrs. Man chester, is independent of the control of the council. Judge Sedgwick wrote the opinion adopted by the court. Judge Rose did not participate in the case. The opinion of the court says: 1. The authorities of the state, under our statute, are given such con trol of fraternal beneficiary associa tions as to require the state to see that the interests of the members are nut sacrificed by unauthorized usurpa tions of authority on the part of offi cers of the association. Under the circumstances in this case this court has original jurisdiction of an action in the name of the state brought by the attorney general in behalf of the insurance board to determine the jur isdiction and powers of the contending officers of the association. 2. A fraternal beneficiary associa tion must, under our statute, have a representative form of government, that is, the governing powers of the association shall be elected directly or indirectly by the members. The governing body in the defendant as sociation, called the supreme forest, is so elected and corresponds to the board of directors in an ordinary cor poration. It is authorized to "enact laws for its own government and for conducting the business of the order generally." Laws so enacted in har mony with the constitution of the as sociation and statutes of the state are binding, upon the association and its officers and members. 3. The constitution of the order creates an executive council which is subordinate to the supreme forest. The council could not authorize a com mittee to conduct "business of the order generally" without the approval of a specified number of the members of the supreme forest, and its at tempt to do so is held invalid. 4. When the language of the con trolling writing is at some point am- YOU CAN HAVE YOUR HEALTH THE LATEST AND MOST SCIENTIFIC TREATMENT CONSULTATION AND EXAMINATION FREE : : : : : : Dr. Barnes treats successfully all curable diseasesof the Nose, Throat, Lungs, Heart, Stomach, Liver, Gall Stones and all diseases of the Gall, Bladder, Bowels, Nerves, Brain, Skin and Blood Diseases, Catarrh of any part of the body, Bronchitis, Asthma,, Constipation, Cystitis, Kidney trou bles, Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Ulcers, Diseases of Men, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago.

DeBolt is de clared to be entitled to the office of su preme banker, an office that pays $1,500 a year. Ira M. Kelly had re fused to give up the office and suit was instituted. The district court of Douglas county dismissed the case The supreme court now reverses that judgment with directions to enter judgment in favor, of the plaintiff who was relator in a mandamus suit to ob tain the office. The plaintiff showed that at an election there was a tie vote and Mrs. Manchester ordered another ballot. On the second ballot Nora M. DeBolt was declared elected. GERMAN TRADERS EXPECTING PEACE Interned Vessels Ordered to Prepare to Resume Regular Service. New York, Dec. 19. Action taken by German shipping interests in evi dent anticipation of peace was re vealed here today when announce ments came from the local officers of the two big German trans-Atlantic liners that instructions had been re ceived to make freight contracts for shipments from New York to Ger many "after resumption of our regular service." "We take pleasure in announcing," said a statement issued by the Hamburg-American line, "that we are now- open to make freight engagements for shipment upon the resumption of our regular service after the conclu sion of peace or such earlier time as he obstacles to such resumption may be removed." In a notice sent out to freight agents and brokers by Oelrichs & Co., general agents in this country for the North German Lloyd steamship com pany, a similar announcement was mare for freight contracts between this port and Bremen. It was said that such contracts would not guar antee any date and would be made subject to cancellation in the event conditions would prevent their being carried out. ENGLAND BEGINS RESTRIC TIONS ON FOOD CONSUMPTION London, Dec. 19. The first food estriction went into force in Eng- and today. Hotels and restauants ae now forbidden to serve more than two courses for breakfast or luncheon and three coursese for dinner. Little inconvenience was experi enced in connection with the first two meals. The Englishman's usual breakfast consists of a cereal and bacon, eggs or fish and except in the more expensive places a luncheon of two courses is the rule. It was in ar- anging for a dinner of three couses that the caterer experienced the most difficulty, but even in this case few are likely to go hungry as hors d'oeuvres and soup count only half a course and for the two other courses, diners have the choice of fish, entrees or roasts, with vegetables and deserts. Cheese with bread and butter, or crackers is not counted as a couse. The meatless day which is expected to follow shotly will prove a more dif ficult problem for restaurants which make a specialty of roasts. Milk in Winter. Why do your cows give less milk in winter than they do in summer? Just because nature does not sup ply them with grasses and green food. But we have come to the as sistance of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas Stock Remedy which con tains the very ingredients that the green feed supplies in season, only, of course, in a more highly concen trated form. We guarantee that this remedy will make your cows give more milk, and better milk with the same feed. II. M. Soennichsen. Puis & Gansemer. L. T.

Rome. Dec. 19. ( Via Taris.) For eign Minister Sonnino said in the chamber of deputies today that severa resolutions which had been introduced in the chamber in regard to the peace proposals of the central powers seemed to be based on the supposition that the government had, or would have, concrete and precise indications as to the basis on which negotiations would be made. "As I said on the day before yester day, this supposition does not corre spond with the facts," the foreign minister continued. "There is no sign of conditions or basis for negotioation in the enemy's note. I possess no in formation in regard to eventual con ditions of peace, beyond the note from the enemy which I read in the cham ber. "Should propositions be made sub sequently, we should consider what to do, but it would be neither practical nor proper to discuss that question to day. Moreover it should be under stood clearly that no one cf the en tente allies could take into considera tion any condition whatever by hy pothesis which might be eventually of fered to him under separate form. In the public interest and out of respect to allied governments I cannot com municate to anything whatever as to the substance of the answer we will give to the note of the four enemy cowers. The reply to the enemy will be published as soon as it is drawn up. Wishes I'eace. "We all wish peace and lasting peace. But we consider a lasting peace to be a careful settlement whose duration depends not on the solidarity of the fetters with which one people is held subject to another, but on a:i exact balance among the states, based on respect for the principal nation alities, rules laid down in the laws of nations and reasons of humanity and civilization. "If uo r.?re in the rv :sticc o: gen uine proposal;;, witn a l-asis oi a na ture to satisfy the general postulates of civilization and justice which I have just mentioned, none would reject them abruptly. But there is nothing to show even faintly that this is the case and there are many reasons for believing the contrary. "I do not desire to use exaggerated anguage, but the accent of the boast- fulness and the lack of sincerity whic h characterize the preamble to the enemy's note certainly inspire no be- ief that these mysterious peace con ditions which the central empires an nounce that they have the intention of exposing later on, with the object of quaranteeing the existence, honor and free development of their peoples, do constitute an answer to the postulates we have laid down." Baron Sonnino appealed to the deputies of all parties in the words cf Premier Briand of France not to per mit the move of the central powers to poison the mind of the people," and urged them to refrain from "playing the enemy's game" by giving way to rash or untimely manifestations which might implant the germs of division and discouragement. .He asked them not to vote any order of the day which might let it be supposed that the atti tude of Italy differed from that of her allies. Amid an outburst of cheering for Baron Sonnino, the chamber voted the order of the day, pure and simple, implying confidence in the govern ment, and further, ordered that the foreign minister's speech be placarded throughout Italy. The vote on the order of the day was 27G to 40. NEW BOOK ON CANCER. This book gives a most comprehen ive explanation of cancer and its suc cessful treatment without the knife.

We hear the name of Moses Stock ing for land commissioner, n new of fice created by tha new constitution. It is an important office, the commis sioner having charge of all public- buildings and grounds and lands, and no better man than Stocking could be suggested. Jones is fairly settled in his new stable over on Vine street (along' with the Herald), and hits got a very nice place to do business in. He has got another new driving team, besides Flora and Queen. Two pretty greys excellently matched both for color and gait, and very nice steppers to boot. Mr. A. J. Swartz, an old friend of the Herald many years ago, and well known in this neighborhood, having married here, has just moved back to Plattsrnouth with his family. Mr. S. is the general agent for the Wheeler k!i Wilson Sewing machine in Iowa and Nebraska. Mr. Matthews, book agent, formerly of Greenwood, has moved into town, raid will settle here, taking the old G. L. Seybolt house. Died. II. E. Ellison, formerly probate judge of this county, died at his resi dence in Plattsrnouth on Sunday morn ing, December 24, 1876, of typhoid pneumonia. Judge Ellison was 41 years old last July, and was one of the oldest settlers in the county, liv ing at Oreapolis in '5(5, afterwards moving on a farm near Rush Chilson's. He served two terms as probate judge of this county, previous to the present incumbent. His taking off was rather sudden, although his health had been failing for some time. We understand his financial affairs were not the brightest, and deeply sympathize with the widow and children in their bereavement. Doing the Work. W. T. Nanney, Noel, Mo., writes, "Your 15. A.
