Washington , D. C. , having hoard with pro
found sorrow of the death of Sir Knight
David M. Hume , n most active , faithful and
zealous member of our commandcry ,
desire to glvo expression to our feel
ings on this occasion. The truth of
the words , 'In the midst of life wo are in
death' comes to us at this tiai'o witli great
lorco. While the greatest display in the an
nuls of modern Knights Tcmplaristn was at
Its height and glory on Pennsylvania ave
nue Sir Knight David Ilumo , in our faraway
home , Omaha , was obeying the 'fatal nmn-
date of the angel of death,1 which wo must
all of us sooner or Inter obey. To his broth-
era and relatives wo would extend our heartfelt -
felt sympathy and would say to them that
wo who liuvo known our deceased sir
knight for many years can testify
to the justness , manliness , kindli
ness and charity of his character
nnd can appreciate iu some manner your
loss. We , with you , mourn the loss of a beloved -
loved brothciUcdliztng our inability In the
presence of death to comfort with mere
words wo would simply take you to the ban
ner of our commnndcry , point you to tlio
cross of Calvary and there leave you in the
Imnds of the Great Captain of our salvation.
Sir knights , for ourselves individually let us
hoed the striking reminder that wo know
not how soon tlio angel of death may receive
the fatal mandate to strike us from the roll
ot human existence. May wo thnn
so gratefully improve tlio remaining
Bpan of Ufa that when our hour of death
arrives our disembodied spirits may soar
til oft , in the realms of light and life eternal.
"Hcsolvcd , That the nbovo ex
presses the feelings of the Sir Knights in
attendance on the trionnalconclavoat Wash
ington ; that copies ot the nbovo bo sent to
the brothers of deceased , that a copy bo
posted in the Nebraska headquarters at
Washington nnd that a copy bo sent to the
recorder of Mount Calvary commandcry , nnd
that in addition tlio standard of our com-
nmndory bo properly draped and that the Sir
Knights In attendance at Washington wear
the proper emblem of mourning.

FudgeOroff Hoiulurfl Anotlior Im
portant linnd Decision.
AV snixoTox. D. C. , Oct. 11. Land Com-
nlssloner Croft has rendered n decision In
ho case of May Barr , formerly n Wnsson
resident , In the Mitchell , Dak. , land
district. It appears from the testimony that
n .Tuly , 1SS. " , Mrs. Uarr , then n resident of
the Atnto of Town , wont to Dakota on n visit
and whllo there took up eighty acres of land
vdjoinitig n tract then recently entered by
Michael Uarr. She purchased n house nnd
lad It moved on her clm , broke ono aero
and made other improvements. At that
I mo , slio says In her testimony , she had no
ntcntlou of tnarrylnp Mr. Harr , but later
they married and moved the homes
up close together upon the line ,
sodded th m nil round on the outside , m ak
in : ono hnuso. They wcro then papered.
Uarr put his bed , stove , table , ctv. , In his
House. She put horbcd , stove , table , etc. , In
icr houso. There Is no means of communi
cation between bo two different parts of tlio
liouao except by going outsldo , each having
nn outside door. She acted In good faith in
limiting the entry , not knowing Michuol 1 Jiur
nt tlio tlmo and having no understanding
that it was to bo kept In Burr's family. She
compiled with the homestead law fully.
Mrs. Barr's claim Is rejected on the ground
that husband and wife cannot maintain sop-
anuo relations nt tlio sumo time and In the
same house , so that oaeh by virtue of sold
residence may perfect an entry under the
homestead law. H U said there are a num
ber of oases In the general land oOlcc similar
In all important rcjpects to the case of Mrs.
Uarr.

CHICAGO , Oct. 11. [ Special Telegram to
Tun Bnn.l It now s jcnu practically certain
that the Northwestern break hi rates will bo
satisfactorily sot tied nt the close of naviga
tion. Positive assurauco.1 havo.bcen received
from the "Soo" line that as soon ns the lalto
linen stop business for the season is will ,
with the concurrent action of the Chicago-
St. Paul lines , ralsn rates to the old basis.
The Burlington & Northern , If agreeable to
the udvanco , may fairly bo taken ns a mouth
piece of the northwestern lines , ns It was
the ono to start the break. Trafllo
Manager Ilambllu , of the Burllugton &
Northern , said to-day to your representa
tive :
11 think there Is no doubt that the "Soo"
wdl agrees to nn advance In rates when lalto
competition ceases. If it docs wo will gladly
advance the rates with it. Iu that event , of
course , It will uiako no difference whether or
not wo secure the co-operation of all-rail
lines to the seaboard. The old plan of chnrg-
ii < g the sum of the local rates will bo re-
adopted. Of course our consent to rniso
the rates is contingent on the as
sent of the Chlengo-St. Paul lines ,
but I think they will be as willing as wo nro
to go back to the old basis. "
The threatened spread of the low St. Paul
rates bus been stopped by agreement between -
tween the Burlington and Hock Island. The
Hock Island agrees to restore rates at Keo-
kuk on tlio id nnd the Burlington has prom
ised to do likewise at Burlington. This will
mnko Davenport the southernmost'point af-
fcetod by the low St. Paul r.Ues. The Illi
nois Central , whicu threatened to inalco ex
actly the same rates to Sioux City as
have been made to St. Paul , has postponed
action until the November meeting of the
Western Freight association. By that tlmo
It is hoped that navigation will bo closed and
the St. Paul rates restored. A plauco nt tbo
map will show the disastrous effects of the
low rates at Sioux City. They will inovita-
blv spread to Omaha and Kansas City and
reduce the gross earnings of nil western
roads 40 per cent. 'Jho Illinois Central's
notice is regarded iu Chicago merely as a
bluff to compel the Burlington to taitu the
Burlington & Northern under its wing and
make it restore rates.

in n notice sent out to-day by the Pennsyl

it says th'dt'if wus impossible to stamp the
return portions of the conclave tickets and re
quested all western lines to honor the return
portions of such tickets , whether properly
stamped or not. Private advices from the
east say that the morning papers have
charged the Pennsylvania with plauine largo
blocks of return portions of the conclave
tickets in the hands of scalpers. It can be
Imagined , therefore , what effect these nr-
tlcles produced in Chicago when followed so
soon by the Pennsylvania request. A meet
ing of the Western States Passenger asso

quest. It was charged on nil hands
that conclave tickets had already been

New YOIIK , Oct. 11. Judge Wallace , In

Spies against the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
company dismissing the action with costs.
The complainant was the holder of income
bonds of the road nud brought action In behalf -
half of himself and other holders of tlio
securities , ilo alleged that the directors of
the road conspired to fraudulently compel
the holders of income bonds to surrender
them for consul bonds subsequently created ,
nnd that they sought to make it appcir that
nothing had been earned on account of in.
como bonus. In concluding his decision
Judge Wallace said :
"No relief can bo granted to complalnnht
under the present bill , because , having
alleged acase , of fraud , ho cannot bo per
mitted to support it on any other grounds.
It would scorn that the directors of the road
have acted under nn honest misapprehension
of their duties to the bond holders , suppos
