There Is an increasingly large number of lodges that need the direct care of the grand lodge. Thu fact is. he clilmed , there is a large number of subordinate lodges , say twenty or more , that need and must have the personal attention of the uraml lodge by it grandmaster , or ui my of them will go tight down soon. A number of these are ipraetieally defunct. They don't report or pny dues , and uro getting deeper and deeper into debt , as rents accumulate and their membership becomes scattered , diseouiaged nnd indifferent. Early attention would save most of them , and Ice-op them going until times change , the population increases , the country develops undtluMrsuccessIs assured.

A dog tale was unfolded at great length yestcrtlaj In Justice Anderson's court. It began to unfold itself nt | ' .l o'clock in the morning and at nightfall was still wagging. A M. Dyer , of the Western Printing com pany , took chcrgc of a valuable Newfound land dog belonging to II. J. Pickering , last Apt 11. Tlio doe is valued at $150 , and Mr. Picketing brought him from Chicago and placed him in charge of Mr. Ayor. The dog was decorated With a valuable collar and ufter being in Mr.'Dyer's possession fora short time , escaped ; ho was caught nnd es caped again in July , Blnca which time Mr. Dyer has been unable to find lain. A few days ago a bookkeeper in the employ of Mr. Pickering saw the dog in Jiunos Falkncr's saloon near the corner of Fifteenth and Dodpostieots , and informed Mr. Pickering. Mr. Djer went to the saloon , recogni7ed the dog and swore out n writ of replevin. The dog is claimed by Falkner. The evidence of a do/en witnesses on both sides established the fact that Kalkncr owned a dog of about the same description as Mr. Dyer's dog , and that he went astray about tlio same time as did Mr. D\or's dog. The dog in Falknor's possession followed him to the house nnd was chained up. When Mr Dyer went to see the dog he gave every evidence of joyful recog nition. At fi o'doeK last evening while the cas > o was being still argued , it was discovcnJd that some one had sworn out a writ of re plevin in another court and that constable Sullivan had cnptnrcd the dog. The attor ney for Mr. Dyer wanted the court , to swear out an attachment , which was refused , tlio court contending that if the dog had been re- plovincd bv Falknor while it was under riond ho could bo arrested for perjury. Ham ilton & Homan acted as attorneys for the plaintiff , mid 1J , A. L Dick for the defend ant. The casepromise's to bo a long-winded one , ami not soon settled. A Suspicion * Draft.

Molllt became uneasv , and Mr. Casey asked him to telegraph Haak nt Davonpoit , asking him to gnaiantcc the draft , as tlio easiest wav for him out of the scrape. Molllt wioteouta telegiam which was so ambig uous as to be useless , and Messrs. Casey , > c Campbell , ot the Arcade , telegraphed Haak themselves.

WANTED TO KILL fflS WIFE , A Nogro'a Murdoroua Assault on Ilia Recreant Wifo. HE STABS HER EIGHT TIMES. A Torrlhlo Tale of Hlootl Which Knil In tlio Dcutli of Waller Edwards' Unfaithful Hotter Half. Assaulted by Her Ilusnuiut. Shortly after' ' , ' o'clock vesterdaj pierc ing cries of "murder" were hoard to Issue from the bnsement of Isnc Trice's roslau- lant , at I It ! J Capitol avenue , and , In nn In credibly short time , a largo crowd had gathered and were horror-stricken to dls cover a mulatto , named Walter P Iwards , plunging a murderous-looking dagger re- lieatedli Into bis wife. A few of the more courageous rushed forward to wrest the blade from the assailant when a desperate striiggloensucd. Mr. 'Price stopped up behind Edwutds , and throwing his arms around him Jerked him aw.iy. At the same Instant the dagger was slicking in tuo back of Edwards' wife , and as the husband was pulled awuj , the blade * still in his grasp , was Jerked out and a stieam of blood lollowed il. In Ihe midst of the struggle Oflleor P. C. Folev lushed in , and holding u revolver in Edwards' face , ordcied him to tluow up his hands or ho would shoot him , Up wont the blood stained hands , and the fearful blade reeking with goic , was taken from him. Mean while the stabbed woman , a rather ittractlvo mulatto , fell In a faint , weak from loss of blood and seemingly conscious of the fart that thu wounds that she received wore moital. Eight limes had the powerful arm of her husband been raised and eight times Lhcglittuiing blade sunk into her defunsu- less body. She was carried up to the first lloor and Drs. Ralph and llicketts wore summoned. They found the woman fearfully mutilated. One stab had extended into thu stomach and the wound on the upper pait of Ihe luft breast was alone sufficient to cause her deatli. In making thu hitler wound the nsstilant had evidently given the dagger a twist as it liad cut otT a circular piece of llesh larger ; han a silver dollar. Tlio blade bad severed the left bronchial tube and pierced the lung , causing Internal hemoirhagc. In her oITorts to screen herself froii the fatal thrusts , Mrs Edwards had thrown up her hands and thoi too had been mutilated L > y the descending blade. Upon being anested , Edwards was marched to the p itrol box with a loaded re volver at his head and an order was sent to pohcu beadquarteis to send thapatiol wagon without dula.v as the ofllcuis hcaid muttered tlueitsof 1) itching. As the wagon drew up to the box , Ihe pop ular Indignation had reached its highest point and cries ot "Hang him , " "Lynch the scoundrel , " vveto heaid. A rush was made lor the prisoner but the mob was hold at bay by the olllcers. The assailant was hurried Into the wagon , the lash was laid to the horses ana In a few moments Edwards was safe behind thu bats at thu central station. On the way to the station Edwards , in sang froul , told Captain Green and Sergeant John son th.it it was his intention to kill his wife. She had been untrue to him and he believed be hud stabbed her a sulUcient , number of times to finish her. The dagger with which the attack was made was taken to the police headquarters and turned over to the chief. It has a blade eight inches long , has a double edge and sharp point. No weapon could have done tnoro effective service than this fearful onu. Shortly after the arrest , a reporter visited the spot where the stabbed woman lay dying , and from tin ) crowd of friends who h ul gathciud about gleaned something con cerning the events that led up to the attack. Mrs. Edwards was talking ! with Mrs. Trice in the basement of the restaurant , when Edwards entered looking very much agitated. Going up to her ho commenced to upbraid her for leaving him , saying he hod worked bant for nor and squandered all his earnings for her sake. She told him that she would never live with him again and that hu might as well get a divorce from her. With an oath ho replied that she should nnvcr live with another man and drawing his dagger ho made the murder ous assault detailed al > ovo. Mrs. Tnco was the only person piesent , and although nearly frightened out of her senses she tells a most coherent story of the assault. At the request of thu dying woman she was carried on a cot to her room on Cass street , out of sight of the curious crowd who had gathered about the spot. At lust accounts she was alive and the physicians in attend ance had strong hopes of her recovery. Edwards was seen in his cell at the police station 'n ' the afternoon nnd refused to talk , as hLs attorney , Ali'\ Green , had so advised him. Before the teporter bad got through with him , however , he said that ho had married his wito , whoso maiden- name was Dora Chivers , at Oskaloosa , la , in ! Sb5. Edwards is twenty-four j ears and his wife nineteen years of osre. The fruit of their marriage was a bright boy , who died on January S. Edwards claims that his wife administered rat poison to tlio boy. At that time they lived at No. 12Jr South Fifteenth street. Edwards has bean n bootblack at the Murray hotul , and has been a hard-working and steady fellow. About Ihree months ago his wife drew $100 , which belonged - longed to him , from'tho bank and left for Kansas City , where she visited her sister. Her mother was writing complaining letters to her dauehtor , and Edwards brought her to Omaha and cired for her. He claims that ho has worked hard , worn second hand clothes and denied himself not only hiMiiies but comfoits , that his wife might have good clothes and a eomfoi table homo. James Ter- icll , thu man who has lumed his home , and caused him to commit the crime , was a waiter at the Pa\ton hotel , which place ho luft on Monday. Terrell was a ion- stant visitor at Hdward's house , nnd Mr * . Edwards became Infatuated with him , often sitting up until midnight tuln- ing to him. Wednesday night Edwaids brother-in-law cainu to him and told him that ho had seen Edward's w Ifo and Terrell walking together on Sixteenth street. This aroused all that was devilish in the mulatto's nature , and ho went out and purchased the dirk with which tlio murder vvus committed. Ho remarked in the cell , "If I had found him last night it would have been a gone case with him. " His wife not returning lhat night , Ed- w.uds went to woik In the morning feverish and excited. His brother-in-law , George Culvers , who has at one time been in the mail service , came to him and told him that bis wlfu had engaged an express wagon and was hauling away all his household goods. Ho went to his house , found the goods gone , and started to search for them and his wife. He found his wife In llio basement of Trice's icatnurant , and said to her , "What kind of'a way is this to treat a man I You have made a slave of me ever since I have known you. " Ho con tinued to upbraid her until his anger blinded him and ho attacked her savagely with lib knife. A Question of Snnlty. Mrs. Max Ktutto , residing on Twenty-fifth nnd Chicago , was betore the commissioners for the insane yesterday. The woman Is said to possess an idea that spirit messengers from the beyond are with her , and when under such impression converses with the genius of her imagination as though she wa ° actually conversing with some of the inmates of the house. She U the mother of twc children and is about thirty years of ago. Last September she entered suit for a tlL vorce from her husband on the grounds ol cruelty and inhuman treatment.

[ Corre- siiondonco of Tin : Nr.i : . ] The shotgun quarantine in Mississippi mid adjoining stntcs have hurt nil mnil matter bottled up several week * , ouiiiff to the yellow f eve r scare. Vour editorial on "Negro Democrats" was well received b.\ repub licans here. There arc very few , if any , negro democrats in the south. How could he espouse the i-au-eof democracy when that party murders his race by the hundreds whenever a few of its fol lowers desire to have a little fun. Like the Miiull boy who polls the fro < * with stones , it is fun for the boy , but deatli to the froj * . Hundreds of negroes are being killed daily in the south , to prevent them from exorcising their rights as clti/oiH of this great republic. Thu ne groes in the north , who have espoused democracy's , cause ; bo it wild to their discredit , do s > o for a few paltry dollars. Now , will these .ludaso-3 do the negro race the justice to hang thonisoU es after November 0 ? If not. they have not the courage of their father , .Indus. 1'very negro must know that the republican party is the ship , all else the sea. The solid south is Kept .so b. > a criminal supervision of the negro vote. If a fair election could be held in the south Harrison and Morton would bo as sure to get the electoral vote of throe states as daj follows night. The rebel brigadiers boss Cleveland like a school boy. The south controls his actions in every respect. Free trade is a rulie of the confederacy , and this bhould cause it to be sliunncd the inoio. They seek to accomplish through fraud , deceit and duplieit.v what they failed to accomplish by the sword. The sentiment of ISlil still remains in the .south. Give the democrats com plete control of our government anil you will see ovoiy one of our northern man ufacturing cities uloso business. "Free trade" will do it. The democrats al ways .s.iy one thing and mean another. Free speech is denied every republi can in the south , bo he white or black , Yankee or e\-confodornto. William Adams , a white republican and an ov- confederate soldier was killed at Monroe , ha. , for issuing republican tickets at the late election in that state. Regulators and ku-klux are holding high carnival in many of the parishes of Louisiana to day.The The cotton nicking season hasopened in Mississippi now , and every able bodied negro , woman and child is wanted in the cotton patch , and should the regulators open business here , it would result in the loss of the entire erop ; hence the voting will bo allowed to go on in the day. but the real elec tion will begin at night. The Mississippi plan beats Louisiana' ' ! by many odds. The day ih near at hand when an exodus far in proportion to the one inaugurated to Kansas a few ycnrs ago will commence. The treatment re ceived by the poor colored people at the hands of democracy cannot bo borne much longer. Vet in the face of all bib ills the negro la still lojnl to republican party The negro in the south to-day is ad vanced from his condition of a doc.ule ago. Mnny own eomfoi table homes and are highly intelligent. They able nospec- inl laws in their favor , but justice and oqiml rights before the law. They ask not social equality with tlic whiten , but nlmply their civil rights. I would no doing injustice to them had I not sol , your readers right on these points. The white man thinks very well of the HOITO until he asserts his Independence and manhood , and law opinions of his own. If these opinions are f.xvor- able to the republican party , then the peaceful , inotletntvo negro becomes obnoxious , and must be regulated according to the most im proved methods of domocrncv. A pla card bearing this should set up all over the south : "Kmigrants with no opin ions of their own are welcome heie ' Hundreds of outrages committed in the south never It nil their way in printer or to the north. The mail system of de mocracy prevents this. News of this kind sent would never leave the otllco where mailed , and the writer , if found , would never jot another bit of uewri upon this continent. The republican p.irty needs every negro \ote in Indiana , and should got it , too , undivided , and will if the negroes bo true to themselves and their oppiesied brethren in the south. They should bear in mind that u negro who fails to vote is a miserable vv retch , and becomes a perfect imp of moan ness when he votes the democratic ticket. 1 have talked with many negroes , and failed to Had one who wouldn't walk thirty or forty miles to east a vote for Harrison and Morton. Fellow republicans of the north , do your dutj. Vote the way you shot Let the war cry be , "A solid north against a solid south. " X. Dr. .J. IT.

The Secret of Happiness lit Mnrrlaco. The Hoston Courier : Thomas .lolTer- son wrote the following excellent ad vice. There is a great deal of human nature ami good sense in it. Harmony in the married state is the first thing to be arrived at. Nothing can preserve the affections uninterrupted but , a llrm resolution never to diller in will , and u determination in each to consider the love of the other of more value than any object whatever on which the wish had been fixed. How light , in fact , is the sacrifice of any other wish when weighed aga'nst ' the uflectioii'5 of one with whom we are to pasa our whole life. And no opposition in a single in stance will hardly in itself produce alienation , yet every one has his pouch into which all these little oppositions are put , and while this is tilling , the alienation is insensibly going on , and when Tilled it is complete. It would pu//.lo either to say why , because no one ditleronce of opinion has been marked enough to produce a serious elTeet by itself. IJutlio or she finds his or her affections wearied out by a constant stream of little chocks and obstacles. Other sources of discontent , very com mon , indeed are little cross purposes of husband and wife in common conversa tion ; a disposition in either to criticise whatever the other says ; a do- hire alwavs to demonstrate and make him feel himself in the wrong , especially in sympathy. Nothing is so goading on the part of either. Much better , therefore if our companion views a thing in alight difference liom what we do , to leave him in quiet possession of his view. What is the use of rocti- f.ving him if the thing is unimportant ? and if important , let it iviss for the present , and wait for a softer moment and more conciliatory occasion of ror vising the subj'oct together. It is won derful how many persons are rendered unhappy by inattention to these simple rules of prudence. Oh , Those Gns Hills !
