Arthur, who since 1S74 has been grand chief of the Brotherhood &f Engineers, made an official visit to the local division the latter part of the week. Mr. Arthur arrived Fri day evening and was met at the de pot by the committee and the Gor don cornet band. Saturday fore noon a business meeting was held at the hall of the engineers, an ad dress being made to the members by the grand chief. In the afternoon a joint open -meeting of the B. of L. E. and the ladies auxiliary was held, to which a number of citizens had been invited. The principal address was made by Chief Arthur in which he reviewed the progress of the Brotherhood. The g. ofL. E. was organized thirty four years ago with a membership of twelve, and since then has grown so rapidly that it now has 564 divisions with a membership-of 32,000. -Before the organization of the Brotherhood the ruling wages for the engineers was S60 per month, in a few years afterwards the pay was about doubled and it has since remained at that figure. The Brotherhood was the pioneer railroad order, blazing the way for the several orders which have since been formed. Not only has the organization been of financial benefit to, the thous ands of members but it has taugh t them sobriety and benevolence and elevated their social status. The Brotherhood has never ordered a strike, unless driven to it after ex hausting every honorable means to i prevent it. Mr. Arthur compli mented the ladies auxiliary; it was doing a grand work everywhere carrying words of cheer and acts of kindness to the unfortunate. The grand chief is an easy talker and his address was unusuallv in teresting. He was followed by short talks from me fibers of the di vision and members of the auxil iary. In the evening another short open meeting was held at the engineer's hall, addresses being made by Chief Arthur, TV. L. Park and others, Garlichs' orchestra furnishing music at intervals. Shortly after nine o'clock those present at the hall sixty-three in number pro ceeded to the Pacific Hotel, where a. banquet was held. This function was presided over by W. J. Stuart as toastmaster, and after and in vocation by Mr. Crusen, "VY. H. Fikes delivered the address ot weir come, to which Chief Arthur re sponded. The other toasts and re sponses were: "The G. I. A." Mrs. Belle Norton; "Labor organiza tions," T. Fulton Gaatt; "The B- of L. E. on the U. P. System," Geo. W.Vroman. The collation served was compnmentarv to the hotel manager, and the occasion was one most thoroughly enjoyed by all participants. Garlichs orchestra rendered the music Prior to the visit of the srrand chief there was somewhat of feeling against him. prompted evir dently qy a mis understanding of his official acts. Mr. Arthur invited the members of the local division to ask any such questions as thev desired in regard to his official actions, but after meeting and talking with him all were convinced that his entire work has been for the best interest of the order, and those who had previously criticized him are now ready to stand by him through thick and thin. The Chiefs visit here has been of benefit to Division 88, and we have reason to believe that he was well pleased with the ' hearty reception accorded him. ! SEWS ZBOK THE GOUSTEY PEE0I50T3.

Kelsey from the charges under which he has rested for the past six weeks, as filed in the information by the prosecuting attorney of. Sweetwater county. The charges of alleged illegal disposition of bonds to the amount of 51900 to school district No. 9, which were issued in 1894, for the purpose of erecting" a school house at Hopkins, TiVyo., the coal camp of the Stillwater Coal Mining company, of which Mr. Kelsey was manager.
