The exclusive announcement In this col
li mn several week ago that the grand
lodge A- (X U. W. had setUed Its differences
with the superior lodge was confirmed to
day In a statement made by the grand
officers. The differences at one time
threatened the withdrawal of the Nebraska
lodge from the superior body, but at a
meeting held here some weeks ago between
the officers of the two lodges the matter
waa satisfactorily adjusted. The Ne
braska lodge objected to paying the per
capita tux demanded by the superior lodge
and lta contention waa granted by the su
perior lodge. Inasmuch as some papers
have, daring the last few days , printed
sensational stories concerning the affair
and announcing It was not settled, this
statement waa signed and issued by the
officers of the grand lodge:
Nebraska's great fight has been won.
Supreme Master Workman Narvls and
Rrother Jlobeon, chairman of the commit
tee on law, appeared In LJncoln as emis
saries of the supreme lodge, realizing that
Nebraska was terribly In earnest In this
struggle and that under no consideration
would we yield without the interests of
Nebraska, protected in every particular.
They came as brothers qf one great fra
ternity, realising our position and the
equity of our cause. Under the agreement
now under advlxnraent the guaranty fund
will not be 1200.000 p-r annum, as the no

A Pleasant, Simple, bnt Safe and
Effectual Car for It.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been'
considered the next thing to Incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometlmaa with sour or watery risings, a
formation . of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungsaad difficult breathing,
headache, fickle appetite, nervousness
find a general played out, languid feeling.
There (a often a foul taste in the mouth,
coatod tongue, and if the Interior of the
stomach eould be seen It would show a
slimy. Inflamed condition.
The our for this eommon and obstinate
trouble Is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucuoue surfaces
jf the aterrtacb. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion Is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
UlfcSBPeered.
According to Dr. Harlanson. the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a ab)et, composed of Diastase,
Aseptic pepsin, a llrtlo Nun, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drug Stores under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets." and not
being a patent niedlilne can be used with
perfect safety and. assurance that healthy
uppetita and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr. R. 8. Workman, Chicago, 111., writes:
Catarrh is a local condition, resulting
from a neglected cold In the head, whereby
the lining membrane of the nose becomes
inflamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom pacing backward into the throat
reaches the stomach, this producing ca

IDKJJTITT OP DKAD MAN A M VKTKRT
Efforts to Locate His Companion
In successful.
FREMONT, Neb., Jan. 10-Speclal.)
There have been no developments today of
any Importance in regard to the Ames case.
The Identity of the man found dead there
last Friday Is ntlll undisclosed. This morn
ing several Junk dealers from Omaha came
up here and saw the body, but all said It
waa no one they ever saw before. Kfforts
are being made to locate the man seen with
the dead man by Simon Bnrdy and Nathan
Benson west of Ames the day of the occur
rence, but without success. This section of
the country is pretty well covered by Junk
peddlers living here and In Omaha, and It
Is thought that some of them' are likely to
come across the smooth-faced young man
about 24 years old, dark complexloned and
medium height, who it Is believed can
throw more light on the mystery than any
one else, and any Junk dealer answering
that description, driving a bay horse to an
ordinary Junk wagon, is likely to have an
opportunity, if a stranger, to give an ex
planation. Both Eilks and Benson are very
positive In their Identity of the body at the
undertakers aa that of the older of the two
men they saw together. Bordy Is out In
the country gathering Junk and may not be
here for several days.
A perplexing feature of the case la the
finding by the undertaker of straw chaff on
his underclothing and on his pants, coat
and even Inside of his mittens. There was
no chaff about the place where the bullet
entered or passed out of his head. It looks
very much as though the man met his
death at the place whero his body waa
found. If the shot was flred while a train
was passing it might not have been heard
by persons In the depot, though that build
ing la not more than thirty or forty feet
away. The passageway where the body
waa found runs east and west and the door
opening Into It faces the south, so that It Is
possible that he was shot by a man who
waa laying for him In the passsgeway and
fired Just as he stepped out of the door.
The facta which Indicate suicide are that a
revolver with one shot flred from It waa
In his hand and that there was nothing
about him to show his Identity. The ques
tion whether he was murdered or took his
own life cannot be definitely decided until
the young man driving the bay horse to a
Junk wagon la found.
The Jewish people of this city are much
interested In the case and this morning
notified Undertaker Dengler that their or
ganisation wanted to take charge of the re
mains and give him a burial according to
their rites in case he was not claimed by
his friends.

Congress as Soon as It Is Itendj
Time Has Come for Ksamlna-
Ion of Schedules.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. t resident Roose
velt favors the earliest possible action
looking to a revision by congress of the
tariff. He so informed the senators and
representatives who were In conference
With him at the 'White Douse last Satur
day, and he has made plain his position to
others since that conference. He will call
tho Fifty-ninth congress Into extraordi
nary session as soon ss the committees
have indicated that they are prepared to
submit a tariff measure for passage. One
of those present at the conference on Satur
day said today, in view of the many con
flicting stories puHlshed regarding the
meeting, that the president Informed them
that while he did not believe In any sweeping-revision
of tho tariff, snd would abide
absolutely by the Judgment of the two
houses of congress in a matter that re
lated so particularly to them, yet ho did
think the time had come when the sched
ules Bhould bo thoroughly examined and
there should be a readjustment ns to cer
tain of them. The president added that his
own view was that the special session
should take place at the earliest date tn
which the committees of the two houses
could come to an agrfcment as to a bill. If
they took this view, ho said, he would him
self be ready to call the extraordinary ses
sion at whatever time tho members of the
two committees, and especially tho house
committee on ways and means, should In
form him they would bo ready with their
report. If congress should act on the tariff
question In accordance with the president's
desire It was made perfectly plain today
that the) extraordinary session would be
called to assemble the coming spring.

homa, of the (Osage tribe of Indians. Tho

of membership In tho tribe and provides
that the lands are to be distributed as fol
lows: Each number of the tribe shull be
permitted within six months to select a
homestead of 100 acres, which shall be non
taxable and liuillenable for a period of
twenty-five years. Persons falling to select
shall have their selections made by tho
agent in charge. After the homestead se
lections have all been made tho remaining
lands of the tribe In Oklahoma are to be
equally divided among tribal members In
tracts of not less than forty acnes. The
bill provides for townsites and school lands,
which are specifically located. The mineral
and oil lands are not to be sold for a
period of twenty-five years and all royalty
from the same Is to go to the tribe.
Leases of such oil and mineral lands may
not be made for a longer period than fif
teen years.
The funds of the tribe, now In the United
States treasury are disposed of, first, by
setting asldo 11,500,000 for the education

on tho fund only to bo used for the pur
poso named. When tho Interest is no longer

terest distributed quarterly to members of

House Investigates Political Work.
The house committee on reform In the
civil service today authorized a favorable
report on the resolution Introduced by
Representative Hearst, calling on the presi
dent for "all reports, documents, papers
and orders showing the executive action re
lating to political activity by letter car
riers mentioned In his last annual message
and the grounds therefor;" also directing
tho postmaster general to communicate to
the house all facts bearing upon the dis
missal of James C. Keller, Frank Cunning
ham, Warren Tuniber and H. W. Aldrich
and the grounds for said dismissal.
Mr. Hearst was heard by the committee.
He thought the president's executive order
prohibiting political activity was. "arbi
trary and restrictive." It abridges not only
the conduct of carriers, but also the con
duct of members of congress. Personally,
he liked to talk with the carriers from his
district and in his opinion the successful
congressman was the on who met their
demands properly.
He called attention to that portion of the
president's message . referring to labor
unions, conceding the right to organize,
but stating that "Individual rights must
be protected." Mr. Hearst believed a de
Eire on the part of a letter carrier for an
Increase In salary was an individual right
and ought to be protected.

serves to congress the right to legislate
on the subject of polygamy and polyga
mous cohabitation. The amendment pro
vides that congress may take action if the
two states to be admitted, If the pending
bill becomes a law, should fall to enact
effective legislation. Senator Dubois de
sires that congress shall insist that the
two proposed states shull incorporate an
anti-polygamy clause in their constitutions
and he believes If the amendment Is
adopted national legislation of a similar
character would be enacted applicable to
every state. The amendment reads:
Congress reserves to itself tho right to
legislate on the subject of polygamy and
polygamous cohabitation within satil state,
but the legislature of the state shall have
the right to enact legislation in resect
thereof which shsW he effective unless and
until congress shall legislate In respect
thereto.
