The proceedings of the Grand Masonic .Lodge of Kansas opened yesterday morn ing at the Toler Auditorium, with all the grand officers present save one. The lodge was opened in form and some business disposed of before noon. In the afternoon the grand officers opened a Lodge of Sorrow in memory of tnose who have passed from active life to the passive irresponsive state which ends all mortal existence. The peculiar decorations were tastefully arranged and In accordance with the peculiar and beau tiful ritualistic arrangement of the fra ternity. The memorial address of Grand Master Thomas B. Dewey was impressive and scholarly and was delivered to a thor oughly attentive audience. Of those who ave passed from this life since last the Grand Lodge met, Mr. Dewey mentioned a number by name, with a brief encom ium upon each, but mentioned most es pecially A. H. Ellis of. Belolt, who died only a few weeks ago and who was Grand Junior Warden of the Grand Lodge. Air. Dewey opened his remarks concern ing Mr. Ellis by saying that greatest pleasure afforded him as Grand Master during the year was to install Mr. Ellis as Grand Junior Deacon .of the Grand Lodge, and the saddest duty which it fell to his lot to perform during the year was to bury him. Mr. Dewey further said of him: "The honors so justly his due have not been paid him. His greatest ambition was to become Grand Master of the Masons of Kansas, and it is not to the credit of the Grand Lodge that he had not been elevated to the position of which he was so justly worthy." The flowers used in the decorations were shipped to Mrs. Ellis at Beloit last night. Of the Masons in Kansas, CGI have died during the past year, and there remain 27,550 in the state at the present time. The committee on resolutions regarding those who have passed away also pre sented their report and it will be placed In the proceedings of the Grand Lodge. In the evening an exemplilication of tho regular Masonic work was held by the grand officers, followed by the lec ture given by Deputy Grand Master Bes tor G. Brown in a very Impressive man ner. The regular business will continue and will probably be completed today, includ ing the election of the grand officers for the ensuing year. Thomas E. Dewey, Grand Master, and other Grand Lodge officers made their reports yesterday. The Grand Master said in part: "Brethren: Gratitude is the first, though it be tho least, of earthly vir tues, and little peace comes into the heart that possesses it until some method of ex pression has been found and used. Be cause it is so slight a virtue, the absence of it becomes the greatest of vices. Scant -credit does a man deserve for a grateful heart, but he is ever desirous so to act and to experss himself that others may know that he has one. .Whereever, dur ing the year, your Grand Master has met a considerable number of the craft in a formal way. it has been his pleasure so to express himself, and now, as he returns to you to give an account of his leader ship, his first desire and greatest desire is to make evident to you and to all reg ular Masons In Kansas the gratefulness of his heart and his sincere appreciation of thegreat honor accorded him at the last communication of this M. AV. Grand Lodge. "The height and the depth and the glory Of being at the head of the craft can be fully realized only by one who has been there, and with such realization comes the knowledge that, of him who hath been accorded much, much is ex pected. There used to live next door to me a very old man whose heaven was in his life and heart and whose death was a mere transition. He believed much and loved much, thinking often of his friends, seldom of his enemies, and every day of Christ, as Henry Van Dyke says. Ono summer evening he walked down to tho fence between us and said: 'Mr. Dewey, there Is only one thing that wor ries me. I believe so much more than other men that I ought to be so much better, and I am not." But he was. Since attaining to this position that incident has kept recurring to my mind, and not without result. The expectations of the craft are reasonable and just. "The gratfieaton that comes with the possession of great power is an exhilar ating thing. The exhilaration results from the mere possession of the power and not from the exercise of it. However, men do not relinquish their personal rights one to another without expectation that the ga there-1 strength so obtained shall bo exercised fr good n.rid so to exercise It ought to be the purpose of every DAUGHTER spent six hundred dollars with spec ialists, visited a dozen of the world's famous watering places, tried m a s s a g e, ism, and every thing she could hear of, and at last got more rvl from a 50c bottle of Dr. Syrup than from anything she had ever tried.

' I felt so weak and sick that I felt cure that I could not survive the or deal. The following week I read an advertisement in the paper of Liydia E.

The symptoms of inflammation and disease of the ovaries are a dull throbbing pain, accom panied by a sense of tenderness and heat low down in the side, with occasional shooting pains. The region of pain sometimes ghows some swelling. Grand Master. In the installation service every new Grand Master is told that 'the very consciousness of the possession of a great power will ever make a generous mind cautious and gentle in its exercise;' that 'it is not by the strong arm or tho iron will that obedience and order, the chief requisites of good government, are secured, but by holding the key to the hearts of men.' My brethren, there is only one way to get hold of the key to the hearts of men and that is by coming in touch with them. For that purpose every possible sacrifice- of health and strength and time and business has been made, and by it the key to so many hearts has been found that the memory of this year will be the sweetest and most con soling in the after days when" all one's joys are of the imagination. After all, there was no real sacriiice. For all that was forgone, something greater than a recompense was returned. "As a final word, let me say again, that there ought to be something in or about every Mason to distinguish him from the rest of the world something more than the charm on his chain, or the ring on his linger. How does it behoove us to be Masons if we are only as other men are? The mere possession of secrets that other men have not is only the means to an end a very little thing of itself with out a tinge of virtue about it. To be sure, secrecy begets conllder.re and confidence begets loe (which is the reason for our secrecy), but what docs our love beget? What must all genuine love beget? Every manse heart has Quickened its beating at the touch of a friend or in the wor ship of God, knows the influence that comes with love. It is the impulse to serve and to sacriiice. It is the final test, and the man whose life does not meas ure up to it is of no use to his God, to his country, or to Masonry. But such men among the craft are few. llowever, regardless of our present attainments and perfections, there is more in Masonry than we have learned, and every brother here today ought to return home with a lirm determination to measure higher up on the standard of self-sacrifice. It wiil make for him a new heaven and a new earth. And now "May the blessing of God rest upon us and all regular Masons. May brotherly love prevail, and every moral and social virtue cement us. Amen." The reports show an increased member ship and that all of the institutions are in a flourishing condition of the order. Among the noted men who are attend ing the Grand Lodge of the Masons is Alfred Whitman of Lawrence. He is the man who was the real "Laurie" in Louise M. Alcott's "Little Women," a book which almost every boy and girl has read, or, at least, should read. Several years ago he published in an eastern magazine some of the letters he had received from Miss Alcott and the publication of the letters greatly increased the circulation of the paper. Many people who had read of "Joe's Boy" wanted to know more about Joe and they also wanted to know of "Laurie." This month an article is printed in an English magazine which gives much more of the inside history of the great woman writer. "All of the letters J sent to the eastern magazine were not printed." said Mr. Whitman, "as there was a copyright is- ' sued on all tne manuscripts of Miss Al cott, and the letters, according to a legal dt vision, came under this law. However, I tiny cannot prevent the publication in English magazines of my personal ex periences witn Miss Alcott and opinions of the letters she wrote to me, so I have written them.". "Did Miss Alcott really love boys so much?" was asked. '"Yes. she thought a great deal of all her boys. I was much younger than Miss Alcott. but for years after I came west 1 revived letters from her and 1 believy .ill h-r boys did. They were full of ad vKe and contained, besides news of the family, many words of good, wholesome adtictr. She never fotgdt her boys and kept rsted concerning their doings and thoughts. 1 was wll acquainted with th-i family and so all of them wore interest ing to me " The article published this month is in the Girl s Realm. Mr. Whitman remarked that many of the letters ho had sent to th- eastern publication were so "blue I'rncl'ed" that they did not seem like the same letters. They will probably all le published latr. There was a discussion for some months ss to who was the original "Laurie." but when Mr. Whitman showed his letters this question was dosed. He says that In "Little Women' some af the characters are drawn from imagination, bat that in the main they are true to life. Dr. W. F.

NO CHANGES IN FREIGHT RATES Heavy Shipments Keep Rates From Changing, TALK OF FURTHER ADVANCE Railroad Men Say Rates Must be Raised, "The railroads arc not monkeying with the tariffs just now, if you will notice," said a well known railroad man yester day. "We have not had any new tariffs except on special commodities for several weeks, and the rates are just the same as for the past two months. That is what the shippers call stability of rates and it is a good thing, even if the rates are high, unreasonably high, some claim, but we think they arc reasonable owing to the Increased expense of hauling." It is a well known fact that all freight rates .are being rigidly maintained at the present time. The railroads have issued their tariffs, and if there is any shipping to be done it is a pay the tariff rates, and the roads are not changing their tar iffs. This condition has been brought about by two things, one the injunction issued against nearly every western road preventing them from cutting rates to individuals and the commercial agents have a wholesome dread of a United States court and do not like to figure in a contempt case. Another is the fact that nearly every western road has all and more business than they can take cars of at the present rates and they are not going to do any changing of tariffs while they can get all the business they want at present rates unless it -would be to raise them. As long as there is plenty of business for all of the roads now tariff sheets will be scarce. The railroad men do not believe this condition will last much longer. Al though at the present time there seems to be ne indication that the heavy shimnents will fall off, yet the railroad men claim -nis is sure to follow within a short time and the shippers say that as soon as this happens the new tariff sheets will come thick and fast, and changes may be ex pected at any moment However as this may be there is con siderable talk among railroad men about a further advance in rates on all south western roads, it is claimed that the increased cost of operating the roads, as well as the increase of wages which they have been compelled to pay their employes, will necessitate a further ad vance in rates on all commodities from all points. Rates on lumber, grain and other com modities have been materially advanced by the traffic managers in different parts of the country during the last few weeks and It is stated that a further advance will be made until an increase amounting to about 1? per cent is made. The rate of increase is claimed to be ne cessitated by the increase granted the employes throughout the west, and in consequence is applicable chiefly to west ern and southwestern Hens. It is claimed by the road3 that a rev enue sufficient to equalize the demands of the employes is absolutely necessary, as the increased cost of running the road caused by the advance in material, con gestion of traffic and, in many instances, competition is making grave inroads into the profits. It is further stated that on account of these Circumstances many plans for ex tension of lines, improvements of the min lines and other expenses, involving large sums, will be held in abeyance un til a definite outcome of the present con ditions can be foretold. Almost without exception railroad of ficials are pessimistic as to the prospects for this year, and express the opinion that a crisis is approaching wherein it will be a question of stopping all further extensions of lines or developments of the main branches, because of the increased cost of labor and materials. On the other hand, the employes of the roads claim that large dividends are be ing declared and large gross profits be ing made by the roads, and that the con ditions do not justify these gloomy prog nostications. STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH. Leading Druggists Guarantee That Hyome! Will Cure the Worst Case of Catarrh in Wichita. When the most reputable concerns in Wichita guarantee that a medicine will effect a cure or they " will return the money, it speaks volumes as to the merit of that remedy. It is in this way that the leading druggists are selling Hyome!. the treatment that has made so many remarkable cures of both acute and chronic cases of catarrh in Wichita and vicinity. Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a liquid that has to be taken with a tablespoon or wineglass. Just breathe it by the aid of an inhaler that comes in every outfit and benefit will be seen from the first treat ment. It destroys all germ life in the air passages and lungs and enriches and purifies the blood with additional ozone. It cures catarrh of the head and throat, or of the stomach, liver and kidneys. Wherever mucous membrane contains catarrhal germs, there Hyomei will do its work of healing. When using this treat ment, the air you breathe will be found like that on the mountains high above the sea level, where grow balsamic trees and plants which make the air pure by giving off volatile antiseptic fragrance that is healing to the respiratory organs. Remember that if Hyomei does not cure you. your druggist will refund your money. This is a good time to cure ca tarrh by this natural method and prevent catarrhal colds that are so common at this season. HIS CASE IS PATHETIC. Man Who Was Supposed to Be Insane Is Taken From Jail. J. L. Zimmerman, who was supposed to be insane, -was taken home yesterday by his sister, who lives several miles south of the city. Zimmerman is the man who caused trouble In the Winne building by assaulting several people Tuesday. When Judge Wilson talked with him he appeared to be perfectly rational. He A CASE OF IT.

She advised me to use Doan's Kidney Pills. I had my druggist send for thra. They did me a deal of good. Shortly afterwards I noticed that they cauid b procured at tne Moore Drug Ox ? Douglas avenue, aed I went there for a box.
