LODGEJEWS.
1.0. O. F. May Have Temple of
Their Own.
An effort Is belnar made by the mem
bers of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows lodges in Topeka to regain pos
session and absolute control of the old
Odd Fellows temple at No. 623 Quincy
street.
The temple was built over 15 years
ago by the members of Shawnee lodge
No. 1. The original cost of the property
was in excess of $40,000. The lodge rais
ed over $19,000 of this amount in cash
at the time the temple was built, bor
rowing the remainder from a wealthy
eastern money lender, and giving the
property as security. Being unable to
raise the remainder of the cost of the
building the mortgage was foreclosed,
and the possession of the building pass
ed to the easterner. The man who gain
ed possession of the building is now
dead.
The heirs to the property of this man
wishing to turn all the western property
of the estate into cash are anxious to
dispose of the property and have offered
it for sale for 513,000:
It is considered an excellent bargain,
and T. H. Bain is working up the pro
ject among the lodges of the city. An
arrangement will undoubtedly be effect
ed whereby the Odd Fellows will regain
possession of the temple.
A large number of lodge Items are
unavoidably crowded out until Mon
day. &1Q0RE GUILTY.
Winfield Jury Says Murder in
Second Degree.
Winfield, Kas.. Dec 7. The jury In
the case of the state against Clyde
Moore has returned a verdict of mur
der in the second degree. Moore was
charged In connection with "Shorty"
McFarland of murdering Farmer Wilts
berger last summer for his money.
MUST PAY TAXES.
Knights and Ladies of Security JLose
Suit Over Topeka Building.
The supreme court today afflrraed
Judge Hazen's decision in both of the
cases involving the taxes of the Knights
and Ladies of Security, thereby decid
ing against the order. The officers of
the order claimed that the real estate
of the order, which consists of the Se
curity building on the corner of Sev
enth street and Kansas avenue, is ex
empt from taxation because the order
is a benevolent one. The supreme court
decided that it is not a benevolent or
ganization within the meaning of the
statute exempting the property of suen
organizations from taxation. In an
other suit the order claimed that its
invested funds were also exempt from
taxation on the same ground, but the
supreme court held that in addition to
being a benevolent organization, the in
come from its invested funds must be
used for the support of the organiza
tion, while in this order the investment
is applied towards the payment of death
claims.
NO MAYOR DECISION.
Supreme Court Says Nothing
About Parker-Hughes Case.
No decision was rendered in the Parker-Hughes
case by the supreme court
today, and no announcement Is made

look for a rehearing, because everything
that can be said on either side has al

JTlY0 11
In using medicines to stop pain, we
should avoid such as inflict injury on the
system. Opium, morphine, chloroform,
ether, cocaine and chloral stop pain by
destroying the sense of perception, the
patient losing the power of feeling. This
is a most destructive practice: it masks
the systems, shuts up. and. instead of re
moving trouble, breaks down the stomach
liver and bowels, and. if continued for a
length of time, kills the nerves and pro
duces local or general paralysis.
There is no necessity for using these
uncertain agents when a positive remedy
like RAD WAT' S READY RELIEF will
stop the moat excruciating pain quicker,
without entailing the least danger, in
either infant or adult.
It instantly stops the most excruciating
pains, allavs inflammation and cures con
gestion, whether of the lungs, stomach,
bowels or other glands or mucous mem
branes.
STOPS PAIN
EXHIBIT OF RAKE CHINA.
Ceramio
Art Display Will Close
Tonight
The exhibit of rare hand decorated
china which has been held by the
Ceramic club of Topeka since Friday
morning at the First Congregational
church, will close at 6 o'clock this even
ing. The ladies have just cause to feel
elated over the outcome of the affair,
as it waa a financial as well as an
artistic success, and will form a sub
stantial little stepping-stone for the
Topeka club house.
The entire lecture room and the small
room at the west were devoted to the
exhibit. Starting at the right of the
entrance was a large table on which
was arranged tho china belonging to
Mrs. Edwin Lang anLSIrs. H. C. Bow
man. It was composed of rare pieces,
both large and small, of which the
owners may well feel proud.
Next in line was the exhibit of Miss
Jean Wallace, which comprised some
very handsome pieces deserving spe
cial mention.
Coming next was the table belonging
to Mrs. W. C. Webb and Mrs. S. J.
Hodgins.' A large vase on which was
an exquisite picture of Queen Louise
was one of the striking pieces on this
table, though there were many others
equally as fine.
One of the- very attractive tables was
that of Miss Marie Witwer. Several
of the beautiful vases were filled with
fragrant flowers, which showed them
oft to good advantage. One of the pret
tiest things was a thistle piece, which
she did under Fry.
One of the most beautiful pieces on
Miss Elizabeth Smith's table, which
came next, was a bon boa dish con
taining a copy of Hoffman's head of
Christ.
Miss Anna Marie Walsh's table was
effectively decorated In yellow and
white, the club colors and contained a
rare exhibit. One worthy of special
mention was a rose decorated vase for
which she received the prize at Hardin
college.
Mrs. W. S. Kale had one of the
largest and most attractive exhibits;
among the most noticeable features
were several framed placques, one with
seagulls and a bit of the ocean being
specially beautiful.
Mrs. Clement Smith's exhibit with its
exquisite punch bowl, cups and tray,
decorated with roses and grapes at
tracted muc) attention.
Mrs. W. H. Davis and Mrs. W. F.
Schoeh, Miss Lina Zeis and Miss Helen
Francis followed with very handsome
exhibits.
In the tiny room at the west was a
complete dining room furnished by
Mrs. Charles Jordan- The table was
arranged with a dinner set decorated
in green and gold, and the decorations
were green and white, , to further carry
out the color scheme. The sideboard
and the china cabinet were' filled with
exquisite bits of china: all of the china
used in this room was the work of Mrs.
Jordan.
A china cabinet in the main room
contained the handsome exhibit belong
ing to Mrs. Howard Hillis. Several
vases done last summer under Mason
at Chautauqua were among the at
tractive pieces.
At one side Miss Kittie Lindsay had
a very attractive display. Two large
placques, one Egyptian dancers, and
the other, an Empire scene, were very
fine. A quaint piece was a small vase,
in conventional design, which is very
popular in Chicago and eastern cities.
Miss Aline Lamy enjoys the distinc
tion of being the only miniature painter
in the club and her display was espe
cially noticeable.
Down the center of tha room was a
row of tables; three belonged to Mrs.
W. T. Eckert and were filled with rare
pieces of all kinds, a fern decorated
punch bowl and an enormous rose dec
orated vase being among the most elab
orate. Last, but not least was the exhibit of
the president, Mrs. C. O. Knowles
which contained many handsome ar
ticles. Her jardinieres raneing In size
from the very small to the other ex
treme, and her punch bowl, tray ami
cupa were among those deserving spe
cial mention.
The exhibit was the finest ever given
by the club and those who did not at
tend missed a rare treat.
A FIXE BLOCK.
C.J. Devlin to Doable Central Nation
al Bank Building.
C. J. Devlin, who some time ago pur
chased the lot just south of the Cen
tral National bank building, has de
cided to erect thereon a handsome four
story building. The new structure, to
cost about $30,000, will be a duplicate of
the bank building, the front to be of cut
stone and pressed brick exactly like th
present one. The new block will be
25x150 feet in size, the full height of the
adjoining one, and will constitute part
of the corner building; archways will
be cut through and the same elevator
and heating plant used. Work will be
gin in May.
