The matter of the suit rf Dr. William F.
Goodcn against the Royal Highlander! will
come to ft hearing fn the federal court on
August SO. At the time the order to show
cause u Issued by Judge Munger. the
hearing on the tame wai set for laat Thurs
day, at which time it waa put over until
Tuesday, August 15. The showing of the
defendant I now ready for filing and when
thla I done the plaintiff will have until
Saturday to make a counter showing.
Defendants, the Royal Highlander! and
the members compelling the executive
castle of the order, at the start raise
question of Jurisdiction. It Is asserted that
the court has no Jurisdiction, for the rea
sons: (a) The amount and value In controversy
In the suit does not exceed $2,000, exclusive
of Interest and costs.
(b) Bald complainant has an adequate
remedy at law, as shown on the face of th
bill of complaint.
(c) Bald bill of complaint Is brought by
complainant as a member or stockholder
cf the corporation of the Royal Highland
ers. State Alone Can BrlnsT Salt.
(d) Bald organisation Is organised and
doing business undrr the laws of Nebraska.
The bill Is & collateral attack upon said
corporation and Its right to exercise Its
powers and franchises. The question touch
ing the organisation of the association. Its
plan and form of government, methods of
doing business and the like, can be raised
only by the state of Nebraska, and then
only In a direct actlosy at law brought by
said state for said purpose.
The answer alleges that the executive
castle has always complied with the law
as to filing edicts and amendments: that
the Order and Its affairs have always
been under the control of the auditor of
publla accounts, with whom all reports
required by In w have been regularly filed;
that there are now 20,000 members of the
order, of which number 14,000 are In Ne
braska., and that these members hold
certificates ranging from 1500 to 13,000.
It la expressly denied that Dr. Qooden
holds the office of chief physical exam
iner, or any other, In said order. There
Is also a dental that the order has not
a representative form of government, or
that the most Illustrious protector or any
Other of the chief officers have entered
into any scheme to perpetuate themselves
in office, or that they have conspired to
loot or graft or to misapply the funds of
tlis order In any way.
Gooden Tarty to Action Taken.
It la set up that plaintiff himself fnad
and supported the motion fixing tbe sal
arles he complains of and that he waa
presenf and participated In most of the
business transacted by the executive castle,
Th answer further says no minutes have
been unlawfully altered or destroyed, but
are in fact preserved as adopted In reg
ular form.
Of the cause for the removal of Dr.
Gooden from the office of chief physical
examiner and the appointment thereto of
Dr. Isaiah W. JIaughey, the answer al
leges that Dr. Qooden was removed be'
cause his work was careless and Ineffl
dent; that he rejected mttiy good risks
and keeeptod 'many' b4d Ones, and that
there are hundreds of letters on file going
to prove this charge. -
On' the matter of making regalias the
answer admits that some were made to
order of members by the wives of chief
sxeoutlve oQlcers, but it Is also set up
that the wife of Dr. Qooden also made
some of the regalias.
Another strong point In the answer, In
the view of Attorney Burnett, who pre
pared the same. Is that Dr. Qooden now
has an appeal pending to the meeting which
he Is seeking to enjoin, from the action of
the executive castle in removing him
from office, and has served formal not lea
that he will preas said appeal.
Two Latest Aspirants.
Jules Lumbard, the singer, and W. W.
Mace, the undertaker, are the two latest
candidates for public favor to file their ap
plication to be. placed on the primary elec
tion ballot. Mr. Lumbard wants to be
police Judge and has tiled as a democrat.
Mr. Mace would hold the Inquests of the
county and tiles as a republican.

When the city council met last night, the
three ordinances relating to Improvements

Omaha, asked that the railroad company
be bound by some pledge to commence
work on the passenger station and freight
depot within a specified time. Adktns,
speaking for the council, asserted that the
understanding was the work woilld start
within a few days. Attorney Dundy, rep
resenting the Union Pacific, said that ap
propriations had been made before for Im
provements In South Omaha and that the
work had been held back by protests and
the appropriations cancelled. He declared
that If the ordinances under consideration
were not passed at this time further dc
las might be expected. Mr. Flynn then
called attention to the report that the
Union Pacific had In mind the disputing
of the taxes for the paving of Railroad
avenue. He wanted - to see this matter
settled before the ordinances were passed.
The council proceeded to pas the ordi
nances and the railroad company Is now
at liberty to commence making improve
ments at any time.
Next In Interest came the sale of $35,000

"Old Swimming- Hole" Closed.
Owing to the number of complaints re
celved nt police headquarters about boys
swimming In the little lake In Syndicate
park, Chief Hrlggs has ordered that the
practice be stopped. Youngsters would
shake off their duds and slide Into the
water without going through the formality
of first putting on a bathing suit. This
annoyed many persons who visit the park
In the afternoons. Chief Brlggs made the
the statement last night that an officer
would hereafter be stationed In the park
to arrest lads who were caught swimming
In the lake.
Still , Stealing; Brass,
Monday afternoon Detective Elsfelder re
covered fourteen pieces of brass stolen
from the railroad vards. The poljce as
Bert they are on the trail of the thieves
and expect to make some arrests today,
It appears almost Impossible to break up
the gang of brass thieves in this vicinity.
Convictions In police court and the binding
over to the district court of a number of
those arrested do not seem to have any
effect on the gang of thieves. The police
are now hunting for the cause of the
trouble, and that Is the Junk dealers who
suggest to lads that the brass be stolen.
Repairing; Storm Dimiir,
Mayor Koutsky and City Engineer Beal
made a tour of the city Monday to as
certain what damage had been done to
the streets by the heavy rain of Sunday
night and Monday morning. They asserted
that the sewers carried off the storm
water as well as could be expected. Two
bad washouts were reported, one at Nine
teenth and O streets and the other at'
Twenty-second and L. Both of these will
receive early attention. Borne minor wash
ouis were reported but the rain did not
do as much damage as was expected.

Caldwell Makes Proposition.
P. C. Caldwell, a Justlcs of the peace, has
tendered the city council the sum of $30 for
a ten-year lease on a little patch of ground
at the northeast corner of Twenty-sixth
and Q streets. On the southeast corner of
the viaduct Is a little candy and cigar store
which pays the city $26 a year, and Cald
well s offer of $50 for ten. years Is looked
upon with Indifference by the city fathers
and the mayor. In fact, when the request
was presented to the council last night the
mayor went so far as to question the right
of the city to lease tlu-se patches for the
reason that the railroads now have entire
charge and care of the viaducts.
There Is no probability of Caldwell mak
ing any headway, as the mayor Is sup

the coury il.

FARMER ACCUSED OF ARSON
Bloodhounds Called Into a Sunday Han
Hunt Nesr Millard.
GEORGE HAECKE IS PLACED UNDER ARREST
Pntsoner Is Charged with Setting Fire
to a Straw Stack of Andrew
Wellman with Intent to
Burn Hla Darn. ;
Two bloodhounds belonging to Dr. Fulton
of Beatrice figured In an exciting man hunt
Sunday afternoon a few miles from Millard.
As a result of the hunt George liae. ke, a
farmer. Is under arrest.
The occasion of bringing the dogs to
Douglas county was the burning on Satur
day afternoon of a large stack of straw
belonging to Andrew Wellman of the Cre
mona farm, located about three miles from
Millard. This straw stack was located In
the Immediate vicinity of Wellman's barns
and the neighbor had great difficulty In
saving the buildings.
Wellman was In Omaha at the time the
fire was set. On arriving home he sus
pected that a neighbor named George
Haecke had set fire to the stack and at
once took steps to have the trail to the
stack left untouched. Then he telephoned
for the assistance of the bloodhounds from
Beatrice. When the two dogs arrived, on
Sunday one was turned loose at the site of
the burned stack and at once took up the
trail. This led to Haecke's farm and up
to the house. The men with the dog asked
for a drink and were refused, but Insisted
on seeing Haecke. As soon as he appeared
one of the hounds could hardly be re
strained from Jumping on him.
Haecke Denies Guilt.
In the meantime Sheriff Power and Dep
uty Roach arrived on the scene. To them
Mr. Haecke stoutly denied his guilt, al
though admitting that bad feeling has
existed between himself and Wellman.
The latter Insisted on the evidence fur
nished by the actions of the dog that
Haecke was guilty of the attempt to de
stroy his barns and on Monday a com
plaint was filed In the court of Justice
Foster, on which a warrant was Issued
for the arrest of Haecke. Sheriff POwer
and Deputy Neve drove out to the farm
and arrested Haecke. He was brought to
Omaha Monday afternoon.
County Attorney Slabaugh has found that
there Is a statute In Nebraska which ex
actly covers the case of an attempt to de
stroy property by setting fire to straw or
rubbish located contiguous to such a struc
ture, and Haecke will be prosecuted under
this statute.
Wellman said his suspicions were aroused
against Haecke by the fact that while
driving to Omaha he met Haecke driving
toward his place. Soon after arriving In
Omaha Wellman was called up by tele
phone and told that his straw stack
was on fire and that his barns were
threatened with destruction. He at once
drove home, and on arriving there found
tracks In a cornfield v which Indicated to
htm that Haecke might have set the fire.
DUNDEE MAYHAVE SEWERAGE
Village Is Given Permission to Con
nect with City System Through
Ordinance Ordered.
The city council as a committee Monday
afternoon Instructed City Engineer Rose-
water to draw up an ordinance granting
permission to the village of Dundee to
connect with the city sewer upon the
payment of $5,000. The application to make
the connection ,was presented by Dr.
Leavltt, who headed the village trustees
to the committee room. City Engineer
Rosewater told the council that it should
cost Dundee about $8,000 for the connection,
but that undur the circumstances he ad
vised the acceptance of the $S,Ou0.
I l ne greater portion or ine ariernoon was
taken up with a general protest and a
demand for damages by property owners
along the north side of the alley between
Grant and Rurdette streets and Forty
second and Forty-third. It Is proposed to
grade this alley. Damages were asked as
follows: G. D. Boyd, $230; R. A. Slovecker,
$S0; George Taylor, $150; Thnmas McGulre.
$150; J. B. Norrls, $100; J. H. Mason. $129.

posed grade and claimed the damages
asked were excessive.

FEW OBSERVE THE ECLIPSE
Partial Ohnrnrlne; of the Moon
1'rotra a Poor Drawing

Although It was an excellent evening
for such enterprise t lie populace absolutely
declined to take any intenut In the par
tial eclipse of the moon, the 'only one of

weightily on their hands did Father Wil
liam S. Klgge, professor of astronomy,
the honor to call at Crelghton university
observatory, tnko a look at the moon' and
the shadow through the flve-iuch glass and
ask the good savant to express an opinion
as to whether or not the moon really Is
Inhabited. To all of which Father Rtggo
responded with good grace and cheer.
Wltn the resistance of Prof. Tenk of Ft.
Mary's college and Prof. Cloud of St.
Louis university, who are vlttlng at thn
Crelghton Institution, Father Riggs noted
a scientific observation of the eclipse and
all that pertained ti It. which to use his
own language, was "not much."
"Little or nothing Is to be gained by
astronomers from this partial eclipse,"
sild he. "When on February 8 a total
ecllpso of the moon bikes place, then It Is
hoped to determine whether the moon 1ms
a satellite, the amounts of heat thrown
off by tho moon and to dcvelope other un
proved facts. For some purposes the
moon Is best studied In shadow."
The moon entered the penumbra, or faint
shadow, cf the earth at 7:18 p. m., reached
tho real shadow at 8:3t, dipped in as far
as It could go, or about one-third of its
diameter, at 9:41 and thence proceeded to
climb out to full rotund grandeur again,
finishing the process at 12:13. Not a cloud

clear and the naked eye was quite suf
ficient to nolo the circular shaped notch
on the lower part of tho moon, .From somo
few balconies and In an occasional back
yard the family opera glasses were trotted
out for a bit of gnzlng, but the populace
as a wholo paid about as much attention
to the thing that used to get heads chopped
off of Chinese astronomers If they failed to
predict It, as It would to a street car going
in the wrong direction. '
DEPOSITIONS IN GRAIN CASE
Attorney General Brown Here It end y
to Take I'p Task Thla
Morning;.
Attorney General Brown Is In the city to
take depositions in the Nebraska grain
dealer car.o In the suprcma court. When
asked In regard to that case, he said: "1
make It a practice to try my cases In the
courts and not In the lobbies nnd newspa
pers, but,';- snld he, "I will say this, how
ever, that the final outcome of the case
will depend largely upon how they behave
themselves, both before and after taking.
The law was placed upon the statute books
for a purpose, and that purpose was that
It should be obeyed, and It Is my duty, If
they have omitted that Important duty on
their part, to call their attention to It, and
If the law has been broken, do our very
best to amend It and protect all citizens
that it was Intended to protect."
Attorney General Brown w..s asked for
an opinion regarding the implication of the
biennial election law to county commis
sioners, and he said the law and all laws
were presumed to be constitutional until
they wero tested by the courts. No matter
what his private opinion was, It Is law as
It stands until tho courts have decided
otherwise. If anyone chooses to test the
law, there is ample time before election.
