The deceased was seventy-four years old. Funeral arrangements will be made upon the return from low of W. Ould, a local banker who was probably Mr. Besse closest friend and to whom had been a disclosed bis wishes In the matter of burial.

The body was fouund by Clair Pope as he was going home from work. He notified the city marshall and also summoned medical assistance. County Attorney Foe was cabled to view the remans and after consulting with the physician decided that no inquest was necessary. Mr. Besse and his stepson had been living together and both had retired, but the former had evidently been taken 1U, or sought relief from the heat by going to tb porch.

His chair was overturned and the body was lying on the stone the feet being on the porch. Colonel as he was commonly known here, came to this county from Maine in about 1879 and took a farm near the present Bite of Red Cloud. A few years later he left here for a time and daring his absence married the widow of H. S. Kaley, a prominent lawyer of the" day.

The second wife passed away about a year ago. Mr. Besse served this as state senator in 1909 and also was for sometime, a member of the city council. He helped many people of this county by making loans to them and was never exacting in his dealings. His greatest benevolence at least, so far as is known to the public, was his gift of fifteen thousand dollars which was the financial beginning of the auditorium and sale, pavillion which bears his name.

This gift was supplemented by later donations for the same purpose when it was found that the project required more money than was at first estimated.

Hagood and several others of a committee have been mailed to patrons of the local company advising them to offer Manager Wait one dollar a month rental and if this sum-was refused to order' the phone taken out and "we 200 strong, will stand, by you." Manager Walt, however, has nothing to do whatever with the raising or lowering of the rates as the state railway commission has had charge of the affairs of the company for the past six months. The commission will hold a hearing in Arcadia relative to the rate schedule at 10 Thursday, July 28. A recent order of the commission authorised the company to continue to collect the present schedule of rates during July and August. ORD CLUB JO CONTINUE Reorganises! a Compromise to Social aid Ser-rtee Passe of Ite Work. ORD, July 24.

That the Ord Community Service club will continue as a community club was the practically unanimous decision of the forty members- who were present at the special meeting' held this welc Costello explained the financial condition of the club, showing the necessity of the collection of back dues, and the co-operation of all members. A three hour discussion followed in which every side of the question was presented. It appeared that there were two distinct sides, one wishing to keep the civic organization co-operating with other civic organizations for the welfare of Ord; the other side preferred to reorganize with the live members in good standing into a more or less exclusive social organization. -It was voted unanimously that a committee of five be appointed to interview the members to find out if they were willing to continue and maintain this club as a community culb. The committee was given power to collect all back dues offered.

As a compromise to the leading factions in the club the following motion by Mr. Auble was carried: "That the board of directors consider the proposition of making changes whereby the members who wish privacy may have the use of certain club rooms; and whereby the banquet and big assembly rooms may be used by organizations, who have as their aim the welfare of the community." Seventy-six members have paid their dues until September 1 and it is expected that the number will be increased to one hundred by the end of the week. 1 New Fall Apparel is Here New GLOVES and HOSE in Shades for Fall or Early Shoppers Very Smart NEW SUITS Elite Fitwell Gloves of fine quality and perfect fit.

Omaha, ti in grare danger pi losing Fort Crook as an army post and with it the 800 or more soldiers now stationed there.

If Fort Crook is practically abandoned which is not improbable the military division headquarters also will go to some other city, possibly to Des Moines, La. The prospective loss ot Fort Crook Is doe to the lack of interurban transportation facilities vetween the fort and Omaha and also to the delay in constructing a payed road between Omaha and the fort. The Omaha Street Railway company owns the Fort Crook interurban and altho fares have been increased in the last few years there has been no increase in the number of cars running on the road. At a hearing, before the state railway commission recently General Omar Buiidy, and several of his officers asked for better service on the interurban and also that the interurban cars be run into Omaha. At the present time interurban passengers must transfer at South Omaha and pay another fare to reach Omaha.

The state apropriation of J75.00O for a paved road between Fort Crook and Omaha was expected to solve the difficulty of automobile transposition, but the appropriation probably will be held up some time if not permanently by the suit brought by the executive committee of the nonpartisan league. In that case it is doubtful if the road will be paved. In case the state railway commission fails to give relief in the matter of interurban fares and service and the paving of the road is stopped General Bundy has threatened to recommend that the fort be abandoned. The army officers are 'especially incensed against the Omaha chamber of commerce which they say refused to aid them In their fight for better service on the interurban. To Conduct Investigation.

Although more than at year will elapse before the 1922 primaries, Omaha politicians are beginning to talk of "probable candidates for congress especially In view of the statement of the friends of Congressman A.
