(Observer Special) Washington, D.C.. Feb. 20. As the rate regulation bill reaches the voting stage in the Senate, it is found that the first amendment proposed in that body, which was by the senior Oregon senator, carried the substance of the court-review provision which the Senate insists upon. At the time that Senator Fulton offered his amendment to the leading measure in the Senate, discussion of the question had not been indulged this session on the floor. His statement did not receive greater at tention then than tributes for its clearness ku amnimant and legal . accuracy. But soon after the Fulton amendment was submitted and spoken upon, the Hepburn bill came from the House, having no pro vision for court review. Champions, of the Hepburn measure argued that the im plied right of the courts to review when confiscatory rates were imposed, made it unnecessary to incorporate such a clause in the proposed law. Senators began an exhaustive research into the legal aspects of the proposition, with the result that it soon developed that the best lawyers consulted thought a specific statement ' regarding review of the acts by the Interstate Commerce Commission should be incorporated into the proposed law. Some held that the specific right of review should be granted not only when a rate imposed by the commission was confiscatory, but when a prim;) facie case had been made out of Red Cross Lodge Knights of Phythias of this city celebrated the 42d. aunlvers- ary of the order, by a social evening. W. B. Sargent and Turner Oliver gave short addresses in honor of the occasion. The quartet sang several choice several choice selections, and a few dances were en joyed. There are times in the history of na tions, societies and individuals when it Is wise td turn back the pages of the past that we might have a clearer view of the work done by the heroes of the past end as this is the birthday of the great order of Knights of Pythias, it is proper that Pythians take a look backward and con sider how well their heroes builded. . The order of Knights of - Pythias was founded at Washington' D. C, February 19, 1864, by Justus H. Rathbons. It was originally intended for clerks em ployed in the various government depart ments in that city for there mutual pro tection. There were fourteen members of the first lodge (Washington No. I) and they held their meetings lit Temperance Hall on E street The work for the new lodge' seemed to be uphill, and on October 9, 1865, it was consolidated with Frank lin No. 2. As this was the only lodge of the order for some time and as it has maintained its orgatization uninterrupted ly to the present time, it is considered the "Mother Lodge" Very soon after the organization No. 1, the members began to consider plans foi organizing a grand lodge, which plane were successfully carried out and on April 8, "1864, the grand lodge of the District of Columbia was organized. The supreme lodge held its first meeting on Tuesday. August 1 1, 1868, in the city of Washington. Representatives from the grafta lodges of D. C, Pennsylvania, Net Jersey, - Maryland, and Delaware wer In attendance, and at the next sess ion New York, Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio were added. In 1 870 six more states sent representatives to the su preme lodge, which held its session in New York City. - - - Thus the Pythian idea spread until now it has reached to every state in our union and to Alaska, Hawaii, Philippines, Can ada, Manitoba, Maratime Provinces and oriusn irfUumDia, ana It is stiu moving forward to the islands of the sea; New Zealand, Australia and others. . phythianisn in oreoon Louis Lachman and Charles Tichenor Of San Francisco, went to Portland in HIS CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY is the unreasonableness of the rate. These thought the courtshould be authorized to review, and, after finding the rate unrea sonable toward either eide, should have explicit authority to impose a reasonable rata. When a general concensus of the Sen ate's views was gathered from the sever al presentations, it began to be apparent that Senator Fulton's amendment had ex pressed the concensus early. In other words, the Oregon senator was credited by many friends with having antisipated developments, through careful legal re search, and with being the pioneer in the effort to have the la w , conform to the best judicial sentiment or tne --time, re garding such matters. A New York attorney has just furnished an interesting analysis of the legal situa tion, through the New York Sun, this opinion being extensively printed through out the east This clearly confirms the pioneer argument of the Oregon senator. The Post, o? Washington, In caricaturing the advent of the Hepburn bill in the Senate, had the Oregon man's features upon the senator who was standing by ready to amend with a cleaver. But, Instead of Senator Fulton being placed in the light of the champion of any given side, his amendment and argument made upon It, are now being viewed by prominent attorneys as the first advanced work to make the law effective and suffi ciently sound to withstand the legal strain to which it will be Immediately subjected. 1872. and later they met with J. C Breese and John Gilbert all of Excelsior lodge No. 12, of San Francisco, and with others asked for a dispensation to organ ize a lodge in Portland, which was grant- ea oy supreme Chancellor Berry ; on Christmas day 1872. John Gilbert was commissioned as the instituting officer and Excelsior lodge No. 1 of Portland was instituted January 26, 1873. At different times it has been consolidated with other lodges and is known as Ore gon No. I. OSTEOPATHY IN KERYE TROUBLES AS ustaopatny deals with nerves very largely, and makes a more thorough study of their duties and their sufferings than any other school, it is not at all strange that it has achieved better results In the treatment of nervous diseases than old methods have ever attained. No stimulant Is administered to whip the jaled nerves into action, no sedative given to make it seem as if pain and suffering had departed. The actual cause of the derangement is hunted down and made normal again. So that cures wrought by this method, although not always rapid are permanent cures every time. And usually very speedy relief is secured. THE CORN i Observer Bpecial) r Chicago, III., Feb. 20. A special train, carrying what may be called a school on corn growing on board, started from here early this morning, over the Illinois Cen tral railroad, to make a tour of about two thousand miles for the purpose of instruct- I ing farmers in the visited districts in the best methods of raising corn. The plan of sending out this train was undertaken by the Illinois ' Central railroad without any idea of immediate returns. The tour will last twelve days and will cost the railroad company about $12,000. The train consists of six cars and will stop at 126 cities, towns and crossroad stations Each stop will be of forty minutes dura tion. during which there will be lecture on seed and soil. The tour is in charge of Professor Hopkins of the University of Illinois, who is assisted by several pro fessors from various agricultural schools. Representatives of the Illinois Central accompany the train and will tell of the results in the way of increased shipments that have come from Improved methods of farming.
