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

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

Judge Kcvsor la hearing the case of Wil
liam T. 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.

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.
The verdict of the people Is that Dr.
Hull's Cough Svrup Is the best remedy for
coughs , colds , sore thoat , asthma , etc.

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.

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

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.
It doesn't need any hair-restoring sale to get The Ne
braska offering $ into the people's hands , They "jes
nacherly"goes. .

backed chairs before that were called
"Colonial , " hut It Is quite a different mat
ter to possess n fac-slmllc ot ono of the
old Majflower chairs
The Hues of this chair are unmistakably
, a blgn of Its authenticity. They are like
the points of a line horse ; they are not
easily mistaken ulifii once seen
The high arms ; the recessed , solid scat ,
the cioss braces from the head rest to the
base ; the av elllng Dutch legs all these arc
the proof marks ot the period.
The finish Is In Ivory white , with old
China , blue painted decoration under n
stout varnish. One or two of these old
Colonial chairs should be In every home.
