GRAND ISLAND , Oct 12.-C8peclal.- )
There has been much contention In the ranks
.
of the grand 10ge Knights of 1).thlaB over
the shortage of ii. : . Shaefer , ex.keeper of
records and " n Is. A short review of the
whole affair will clear the public mind
On May 13 , 1895 , W. F. Bechtel al Omaha
fed charges wlh Grand Chancellor Shuman
against Harry M. Shaefer , grand keeper ot
records and seals , which represent that
"harry M. I Shaeler , as such grand officer ,
received and collected money for supplies
sold to suLordlnate lodges , which he failed
and neglected to account for to the said
grand lodge , and wrongfully and fraudulently
appropriated the same to his own use , In
\ lolaton of section 23 of the constitution of
the grand lodge , . Knights of Pythlas of Nebraska -
braska "
There are various specfcatons , all of which
are In the E1me trenl1 as the above. Grand
Chancellor Shuran hereupon appointed a
cof.mltEe consisting of \ \ ' . W. Young of Sian-
ton , Neb. , Henry Fox , jr. , of [ Nehun and George
Lee oC Exeter to investigate the charges.
This commlttee appointed an expert agree-
ble to both Ilartes to mike an examination
of Shaeffer's rcords. After hearing the
evidence of the expert and of others , the
cor.mltel as stated In its report to the
grand lug : chancellor , made the folowlng blind-
lug'e
"We find that these deficiencies have extended -
tended from October 18110 , down to October
I , 1894 , and In each and every Intervening
year . amounting In the aggregate to $22&,59.
"We therefore fled Brolher 11. M. Shaefer
to be gui ) ' upon each and everyone of the
counts In the charges and sleclfcatono
filed against him "
Hereupon Grand Chancelor Shuman de-
posed Shaoffer . The later appealed from the
findings of the committee , claiming that I
had done him a gross injustice.
FINAL ACTION m' TIE GRAND I.ODGg
The mater was then taken up In the grand
lodge. here all the evidence was read and
the lodge resolved itself Into a committee
of the whole to take final acton In the mat-
ter. Such acton was the unanimous adoption -
ton of the following resolutions introduced
by Past Grand Chancelor W. S. hamilton
and Pa9t Grand Chancellor Diworth :
Be I resolved That the grand body In its
collective capacity expresses its confdence

eluded its investigation . acted ns this grand
lodge body would have acted under the

Icnce ! surroundinG and produced pefore

limited to the time limited by said committee -
tee to-wi : October I , 1891.
Itesolved further That It appears the
time of Investigaton was limited to October
I , 1894 , beginning October 1. 189 (
nesolvel , further , That this grand lodge
sitting as n committee of the whole , tim !
Ihnt while therE were shortages nt the said
time , to-wit. October 1. 1891 , that the Mme
may have been the result of carelessness
und nglrence. and may not have been with
malicious or wilful Intent to defraud this !
grand lodge.
And we further find that said H. M.
Shineffer . grand keeper of records and seals ,
pas made an earnest , honest and con-
scientous effort to replace ant make good
all discrepancy or shortage that existed at
that time . and whereas It would be an expensIve -
pensIve proeeedln for thIs grand lodge to
spend several days for this committee of the
whole to ascertaIn the exact status of
judiciary relation now existing between this
grand lodge and Brothel Ii. M. Shlefer ,
Therefore. this committee of the whole
expresses Its fense that this resolution , with
the preamble thereto be recommended . to
the grand lode , Knights of Pythiias , of the

len.1 the adopting of said rosoiutton.

appointed to receive and take into their pos-
sessIon any and . aU moneys or properties

The career oC Knute Nelson , who , whie
governor of Minnesota , was elected to the
senate of the United States , Is of much more
than ordinary Interest , and In several respects
unllue. Al told by himsel In a modest ,
straightorward fashion In the ChIcago
Tribune , the story ef his life has many of
the salient features of a rOlanc ? , Including
the picturesque aUI unusual.
Ills father was I farmer and owned 6 smal
holding In the parIahs of [ Voss , near the city
of Bergen , In the southwel.ter part of ( : ' -
way , and II was here that he was born
When he was three years oh his father Ie-
clded to try to better his oriune'ln America
As he could nut COlmal1l sufficient means to
take his fallIbly with him ho left them In
the old home unt ho could earn enough 10
sOlid for thmem A few months after
he arrived In this country he died.
The mother of Senator Nelson seems
to have been a woman of courage
and . resource , for she did not give up comIng
to America , and when her son was a little
more than 0 ' old she borrowed and
1 years \ \ ( $
sailed for New York arriving there July 4 ,
1849. She set out at once for Chlcaro , where
she hall a brotimir who owned a little home
on what was then Imown as "The Pelnt , "
which Is the locality bounded on the north by
1lnzlo street on the soulh ly the river and
on the east by Clark street and Is now oc-
cuplell by the Northwestern railway depot
a 11 tracks She heft her son wlh thIs
brother's wife while she soulht mind oblalned
a position as imousekeeper lie was sent to
school wlh his cousins , and In a few months
had mastered time first re.lder. About this
time cholera prevailed In Chicago , and he ,
together wih his uncle's entire family , wus
prostrated wih the dlscase. lie ulone stIr-
\I\ed , and when he recovered he went to lIve
wih a Norwegian family In the northwestern
part of the city , doing all sorts of odds ammd -
ends of household work , Includlug Ihishlwaslm-
ing for his board. Whie living wih this
famiy one of [ the sons , who carried news-
paperm . fell I and he took his route , and It
was In this way he earned his first money.
ills EARLY BOYHOOD.
In 1850 he wcnt with his mother to Wal-
worlh county , Wisconsin , and located on an
unproductve lIttle sand farm between I'al-
myra all Coh tel. Crude poor and un- ,
promlsln as was everything connected wih
his surroundings at this tune , I was here
that ho received the inspiration of his life.
During three months of each year Miss
Mary U. Dillon , a cultivated , refned and
highly educated IrIsh woman , taught the district -
trict school. I was an eccentric fate that
brought time little , irnor Ignorant Norwegian
boy and this woman , who had all her life hal I
access to the best the world affords In the
way of educational advantages , together. She
was time daughter of a wealthy Irish queens-
I\are manufacturer , who failed In the financial
crisIs of 184. The family came to America
and went out Into the wilds of Wisconsin to
make their lIving ' on a farm. They would
have failed utterly but for the efforts of Miss
Iiliomm , who , withal , had great force of character -
actor and executive ability . As all her pupils
were little Norwegian boys and gins , many
of whom could not speak Enlsh. I was
necessary for her to leun Norwegian , but not
one word ot any other languare than } nglsh
would she permit spoken In tIme school room.
In speaking ot her Senator Nelson ! all :
"She was the most remarkable woman I
ever knew Fitted as she was to fill any po-
slton , however exalted or exacting , she yet
dpvote herself with the utmost slngleness.o (

"Oulslde of the schoolroom ? was anything
hut a lol1el. I was born a turbulent fellow
and was always ready to fght at the drop of
the hat. Mury Dillon was often obliged to
whip mae three times a day , but that ld : not

just and "enerous. . I was. notwihstandIng

for I was orderly and industrious In the school
room and never ( aied to have my lossons. So
It transpired that when the short school term
closel It was arranged that 1 should go every
Saturday to MIa Dillon's home and recite

certain Iesons. These were among the happiest -
pleat days oC mye. . She was a woman of
taste and an admirable cook amId there were
Hewers and Huch a dinner as I never dreamed
of until I went there Timen when the lessons
Were over , she used to tel me stories made

caton.
As long as she Ivel Senator DIllon corre-
sponlell wih Mary Dillon . and when le was
elected to congress she was for some time
conrres tme
his guest. She predicted when he was a
boy that he would not only le a congressman -
man , but a semmator and I was with feeling
that Senator Nelson said that ! , nlhough she
was an aged woman when she died and le
had reason to be grateul that she lived to
see part of bIer prediction fulfilled . It still
would have given hIm the keenest satisfaction -
tion If she could have lived until her prophecy -
ecy was wholy verified. After her death
Miss Dillon's tether , sent Senator Nelson a
big parcel , which whel opeled , proved to be
'newspaper clpplnrs concerning him which
she had Len yar collecting.
TRAINING AS A YOUNG MAN.
When he was 16 he heard that at Albion
seumminary which was conducted by Seventh
Day Baptiste , a boy could get an education
.
wihout mone ) Ho at once set out on a
tramp of sixteen miles to see about It. 110 [ .
A. n. Cornwall , who was assistant principal
of the school , told him that he would assure
him work enough to pay for hl9 room rent ,
tuition and books if I he could manage the
rest Senator Nelson says he often laughs
when he thinks of the picture be must have
presented when ho appeared before Prof
Cornwall BS one of the new students. Every
garment he had on was homespun , as well
as homemado. The wagon drawn by a pall
of old oxen , on which was a chest containing
his belongings , wood to keep his room warm ,
and enough cooked food to last him a weelc.
was also home mxmmmde having sectons of big
logs wih holes In the center for wimeels. In
the two years that he attended Albion semInary -
mary he says he did not have , all told , $10
In spare cssim
When the war broke out Senator Nelson ,
with twenty of hll' fellow students . enlsted ,
He served three years , was wounded , taken
prisoner at Port Iludson all camc out a
corporal. He then finished Is semInary
coure , read law In Senator Vilas' office at
Madison , was admitted to the bar , and elected
to the state assembly of Wisconsin before
ho waD 24 yearn old
Senator Nelson's first nomination . which ,
as often ' happens was equivalent to an elec-
ton , was peculiar . He knew nothing of
politics . and when the secretary of state
who was a warm personal ( rlend , Proposed
that he should try for the nomination as
an assemblyman he told him be did not
know how to go about it. The secretary
assured him by promising that I he woull

Held he would do the rest. This he under-
took to do , and accomplishmed. There were
forty.fve votes In all . and on the third hal-
lot he received nineteen and hIs opponent
twenty-two , while time rest were scattering.
lie made up his mind he would cover imis
defeat by absence , but , as It was with Fred-
crick the Great , he was recalled just as im
was getting away to find imis forces victorious.
While he was a member of the Wlsconslim
assembly , to which he was returned a second
term , he assisted in electing Mati Carpen-
tom' to the United States senate ,
The failure of a bank in 1869 left him , as
ho says , nothing but a wife and a baby ,
a horse and buggy and a few law books. The
summer of 1871 he went to Minnesota and
located at Alexandria. 111mm first office in the
