( Cotirl Innnr < 1'p n n Cn e of Inturi-nt to MtMiiliur- I'ru- lornul tiiHiirnnuc ( Intern. A rifle of considerable Intcrert to tlio members of the Hndowment rank of the Knlgh's of Pjthlas , as well as to mcmboru of other fraternal Insurance orders In this section , has Just been decided In the courts of Doughs county. The C FO Is one arising out of tlte death by sulcldo of John II. Hopeucll , a member of the Endowment rank , nnd has been dragging along In the district court of this county since the sum mer cf 1S9I. The plnlntlft In the case Is Stella n. Hope- well , wife of John II. Hopewcll. Tor cause of action It Is alleged that Hopeucll re ceived the Kndonmcnt rank of the order Fcbruarj' . G , 1SSS. and a policy for $3,000 was Issued to him ten daj later. The policy la set forth In full , with all Its condition' ) , and It U alleged that Hopcwell compiled with all the laws and regulations of the Endowment rank In every particular up until thu day of his death , February 21 , 1891. U Is further aliened that proof of death was made In accordance with the lawn of the order , but that payment of the policy has been refused. The defense offered by the Endowment rank was that all rights to payment of the policy has been forfeited by Hopowcll or Jils bcuollclary by reason of IIopewell' suicide. It was shown that full power over the business of the Endowment rank wa- > vested In a body known as the Hoard ot Control , and It was also shown that this body , at Its session In Chicago , January 12 and 13 , 1S93 , amended the laws of the order by adding a section which proxlded that If the death of a member "result from self- destruction , voluntary or ln\oluntar > whether such member shall bo sane or In sane at the time , the certificate Issued tt , such member and all claims against said Endowment rank on account of such mem bership shall bo forfeited" Payment was therefore refused under this section fel In reply to this the plaintiff admitted that Hopewell had committed suicide , but al leged that the deed wai committed while he was temporarily ln ane It was also charged that the alleged change In the laws of the Endowment rank had not been filed In the olllcc of the auditor of public accounts of this stcte , as required by the laws of the state , and tt was also alleged that no notice ot the change In question had been given to I.'opovell or his wife previous to his death. After a full hearing In the case Judgment was entered In full for the plaintiff , being for the an-cunt claimed , $3,000 , with Inter est. 1HTCIICOC1C GIVES HIS TKSTIMOSY.

The libel suit of the World Publishing company agilnst The IJce Publishing com pany for $50,000 damages for alleged libel was again taken up for trial In court room No. 4 jcaterday afternoon O M. Hitchcock , president and manager the witness stand during the entire morning. The line of testimony given by him was an attempt to show a falling off In the receipts of the company after the publication of the article complained of. Tills line of testimony was objected to bj Judge Wal.elcy , who appeared In the Interest ot The Hee Publishing company. Judge Wakelcy said ho should object to any tea tlmony ot the kind In question unless it was distinctly slioun that the falling off In receipts was directly due to the article complained of * "Your honor knows , " con tinued Judge Wakeley. addressing Judge Scott , the trial Judge , "and the whole coun try knows , that a general depression of business has prevailed during the past fen jears , and the paper published by the plain tiff In this case has attributed the decrease In business and falling off of credits to an entirely different cause than the article published In The Iee ! , and In that argument the plaintiff liafl been ably aided by jour honor , and I must object to the blame for all the trouble now being laid at the door of The Bee Publishing company. " After the laugh raised by this sally had subsided , the court ruled that the tcstlmonj might be admitted with the understanding that It must be hewn that the nrlcle com plained of was the direct cause of any de crease In business. Mr. Hitchcock referred to a number of books and quoted a long array of figures to back up his statement that the business of the paper had fallen off after the publica tion of the alleged Ilbclous article The figures quoted showed that the receipts of the World Publishing company from adver tising and circulation had remained sub- etantlallv the same during the past three jears , although a gradual , but small , decrease had occurred Xo attempt was made on direct examination to show that this de crease waa duo to the publishing of the article nt Issue. Ho also testified that the World-Herald was injured by the report that It was to be consolidated with a small concern like the Nonpareil. This concluded Hitchcock's direct cxaml- nation and the cross-examination consumed the balance of the day. nothing of a start ling nature being developed p.vviM ! r\sn ov iinroun KIYSOH.

Seaman against the members of the Board of Public Works and the city of Omaha Tills Is the case growing out of the old controversy regarding the repaying of Sherman avenue with nsplialttun. The case was started when It was known that Hugh Murphy had broken the grip of the asphalt combine which had held aw a ) In Omaha for so many jears and had lowered the old "before the war" prices by underbidding all his competitors for the only big Job of paving which had been advertised for sev eral jears , H was generally understood that the Harbor Asphalt company , which had had a monopoly of asphalt paving In the city since the first pavement was laid , waa the real plaintiff In the case , but the records showed that William T Seaman was the The case was originally brought to restrain the city from entering Into a contract with Murphjon the ground that the city had not given the property owners the right to designate the source from which the asphalt must be obtained for the paving of the street. The city took the ground that the city authorities were vested with the power to make specifications and that the ques tion of the source of supply waa properly a part of the specifications and that the prop erty owners had no right to designate the particular source from which the material must ho obtained. The Injunction was denied and the case now on trial Is one to eet aside the tax levied on the abutting property for the pur pose of paying for the pav Ing. The grounds for the action are the same as those on which the Injunction suit wed brought. llriiinrrhaue-K of the I.IIIIKN. DK POLT Neb. . Nov. 3 , IS9fi.

The sitting of the city council as a board of equalization on the general tax list was continued vesterday , but no complaints will be heard until today. Very few- complaints have been filed so far , and none of these are ot particular Importance. The most important development so far Is the gross carlessnesa of some of the assessors , the most notable case being that of Assessor Carpenter of the Kourth ward. Previous boards of equalization have found a great deal of fault with this official and this jear la no exception to the rule. Out of thirty eases of double assessment so far discovered , nearly three-fourths are chargablo to Carpenter The personal property of John A. Horbach U assessed once for $230 and again for $1.225 The first Is the amount signed by the owner and the last that fixed by the assessor. Both are Included In the list. John Latenser Is as sessed $100 In one place and ? 200 In another. The New York Life Insurance company has two assr&sments standing against It , one of $350 and another of S700. These are samples of numerous similar cases In the Fourth ward. In the Plfth ward A. J. Poppleton Is assessed at $2,570 and again at $2,130. The total of both assessments la not equal to his , assesment last > ear. Only one case of double assess ment has been found In the Second ward and that Is the Schlltz Brewing association , which is assessed $ CO and again at $150. In the Four'h ward a number of people who have valuable personal property have not been assessed at all.

ON NEBRASKA GRAIN Railroads Deny They Arc Higher Than Usnal in the Past. UNION PACIFIC PRODUCES SOME FIGURES Iiicrpnie ( hat Wil I'lTeetlve I.nst Month Left tinItatiH finch Ilclovv Wliut Thej Were I.a fit Jul ) . Since the change In all freight rates which became effective on November 2. there has been conslilerablo discussion of the new rates In certain circles , where the Increase In rates was regarded as nothfng moro than a sharp move by the railroads to take advantage of the heavy groin crop of the sUte. Especially was this thought to bo true by those who said that by the advance In grain rates the farmers were compelled to pay more than they had for many jears In order to ship their products to tbo east. In order to learn the exact status of the case The Bee has prepared the following tiblo of rates In effect before the rate war last summer , the reduced rates from July 21 to November 2 and the present rates. The statement of rates Is made upon the author ity of John A. Munroe , freight traffic man ager of the Union Pacific svstcm. The table shows just what reductions were made during the rate war and that the In creases effective November 2 were but par tial restorations at the old rates. These rates are froji Nebraska points named to Chicago. Rates to St. Louis and other Mississippi river points are 5 cents less per 100 pounds than the rates to Chicago , the Mississippi river rates also being the basU for rates to the AtUntlc seaboard In the first column are given the rates In cents per 100 pounds on wheat and flour. The second column of figutes represents the rates In cents per 100 pounds on corn and oats. Present rates. Prior to After adopted July ! 1 , July : t , Nov. 2 , U9 .

Ply Tlivlr Vocation tii 1liiiy : I'll r Is of thu Clt } . Burglaries in the city appear to he becom ing more numerous and the police seem to be utterly unable to cope with the crooks Several are icported every day , and jet not a man has been arrested against whom a suspicion exists that he may have had a hand In any of the JOM. ! There seems to be little doubt but that the work is being done by a band of experts , who go about their business In a very svstcmattc manner. Each night some particular section cf the city Is picked out and the most likely places are entered. Another feature ) of all the work has been the macner In which entrance has been effected. In residences the burglars have been securing entrance by climbing porches and passing through second-story windows. In placis of business , entrance has been gained by means cf the transoms , particularly those over the front doors. Ono of the jobs committed Wednes day night was of considerable magni tude It consisted of the partial looting of the establishment of the United States Clothing company at H07 IKugtes street The crooks carried off over $300 w 01 th of jewelry They also stele a considerable quantity of clothing , chocs and apparently whatever else they needed. The place wa > unttred through the transom over the front door. The burglars departed through a rear door which was otandlng open jesterday morning. The same company was a loser Wednes day through a scheme which looks now very much like a confidence trick. A man asked to see some diamond earrings He finally selected a pair which he took away to sliou to his wife , as he paid. IDs has not returned.

Ho * Nov. 18 CHILDREN'S SUITS , $2OOHo That doesn't sound rcmarkab'y cheap in the face of some of the "Sales" around town , and yet these suits are better suits , better patterns , bolter made up and better values than the suits advertised as "big bargains" at $3 in any of the prevai'ing calamity sales. It's no trick for any store to advertise things cheap. It's no trick to make things sound elegant in print. It's no trick to get up a sensational sale and beat the torn toms and use big type to help out small values , but it's something of a trick to buy goods cheap enough so they will sell without thn aid of any such methods , and so the people will know that they are special bargains without having to swallow whole pages of printer's ink to find it out. Thea oo suits now selling at The Nebraska are remarkable value for the price. The $2.50 suits at The Nebraska are as good as the $3.50 suits anywhere else. The handsome Chinchilla Reefers we sell at $1.75 for lads 4 to 10 years arc as good as anybody sells for $2.50 , and the Boys' Suit we sell at $1.50 , $2.50 and $3.00 arc easily worth $1.50 to $2.00 more , according to the way they are sold in other stores.
