O'Keefe were at Lincoln last Sunday attending an initiation of a class of about eighty candidates into the Knights of Colum bus. While the work and banquet were interesting and pleasant, it was the general opinion of those present that the "boys in Alliance" led their brethren of the capital city in their like initiatory work and as to the ban quet, the Alliance ladies put the Lin coln banquet in the shade. In fact those who attended the' same here ex press themselves by conceding that the banquet here was the finest they had participated in, in the state. We landed the lion's share regyAMWBEaWWHfiURi Bankers Convene. The men who handle the finance of the Northwest met at the opera house yesterday afternoon to discuss ways and ineans and elect officers. The officers elect are: C. A. Minnick, of Crawford, president, S. K. Warwick, of Alliance, vice president, W. B, Mc Queen, of Hay Springs, secretary treasurer. There were but fifteen of tho-f&reign bankers present hut they put in the time to good advantage, relating each other experiences in caring for the money entrusted to them. No doubt the most enjoyable feature of the day's meet was the banquet at Hotel Charters in the evening. 'Fred Nye, the genial host, has won a repu tation as the finest banquet caterer iu the west, and his spread for the hun gry "bankers and their friends demon strated his right to the reputation. Covers were laid for thirty guests. R. C. Noleman presided as toastmaster and all the "cupon clippers" respond ed in a happy vein as well as a number of citizens who were present. At n o'clock a toast was drank to the guests of the city and the meeting adjourned. City Council Meet. The city council met last night and transacted a big batch of routine busi ness.
