We are unable to' give a complete late record of the last named society but it has about twenty-five members, and has found in the pastor a faithful leader and helper. The Senior Society of Christian En deavor of the Presbyterian church has present membership of forty-seven; the Jun ior society fifty-five. Although no speciol effort has been made to raise money in either society much has been given for different pur most of it as monthly offerings. Since, organization the Juniors have given about $42 for "missions and the Seniors 79.50. Both societies are at present helping to support our State Christian Endeavor missionary, Miss Hatch, who is working in the Laos. While the Society of Christian En deavorhas social, literary and other features it has been as intended by its founder, "first, last and always a relig ious society." ladies' acjx. y. m. c. a , The Ladies' Auxiliary of the. Y. M. C. ' A. was organized' Mardh 5, 1892. The object of the organization is to assist the Association in its work among young men by helping to make the rooms attractive and homelike and " to aid in receptions and social work. It is the duty of each member to seek to advance the work of the Association by endeavoring to bring young men un der its influence. Each member is en titled tothepriyUi tion ty judge,-had the honor to fill the chair of Noble Grand the first term. The membership numbered at this time about thirty-three. There be ing neither membership fees or dues wherewith to "create a fund, the ques tion arose si to ways and means for pro curing lodge regalia, organ, etc., which was finally secured by Mrs. Chaa. Hall solicting funds from the-Odd Fellows and others who felt charitably inclined. In December, 1883, the lodge elected Mrs..Chas, Hall to the chair of N, G., she being the first lady elected to fill that office in Sarah Rebek&h Lodge No. 10. Soon after this time the members, having lost sbmeiat erest in the work, euaeAybyaapmeJyinajje not attending meetings and offier! reas ons not known p the writer, this society went down, or in other words, "went' to sleep until Oct. 12th; 198Q, when.it awoke and was reorganized with a mem bership of eleven, as follows: Sisters, Hall, Hoagland, Stevens and Walsh, Brothers Hoagland, Hall, Walsh, Adams, Smith, Warner and Klein. Since that time it has continued to grow and shows on our roll to day a membership of one hundred. In giving a history of this lodge it is not necessary to speak of what our aims and objects are, but will close with the hope that this lodge may go on with the good work so well begun, not faltering by the way side, but continuing to sow tkm.

Those who are eligible to member ship in this grand organization are wo men of good moral character and cor rect deportment, who have not given aid and comfort to the enemies of the Union, who would perpetuate the prin ciples to which this association stands pledged, and who have attained the age of sixteen years. It is impressed upon the mind of anyone who wishes to join that this order exists more for the bene fit of others than for the relief of its own members. The locJitephen A.

The Ladies of the Madcabees is the only exclusive women's beneficiary or der in the world. Its growth has been remarkable. Only four years old, yet it has a membership of 42.053, showing that some woman has begun to take her rightful place in the busy scenes of lfie. The objects of the order are protec tion in the hour of need, fraternity, benevolence, education and reform.

The Auxiliary has given a number of . suppers, socials and entertainments, also several receptions to the members of the Y. M. C. A. The funds raised in this manner were . devoted to amp roving the rooms such as painting, papering, cleaning, buying . pictures, papers, books,etc. They also - gave material aid in helping to organ ize a Boys' Auxiliary to the Associa tion.

North Platte has a reputation for the ! number of lodges and societies for wo- men as well as men, yet surely we have no lodge inthe city that should be placed.before our Jjadies' xYuxiliar3, to tneY.k.C.'A. :. SIGNET CHAPTER, KO. 55, O. E. S, The Order jot the Eastern Star, though not a part of the Ancient Order of Free and Accepted Masons is closely related to it by reason that only masons, - their wives, daughters, mothers, widows : and sisters are eligible. This order ex- pie ior tne purpose of being a co-worker with the Masonic brother, in provid ing for the welfare of families of' Master Masons, and promulgating the' principles of love, relief and truth. - Signet Chapter No.55, O.

And wlien they, by unforseen y or ' unfortunate circumstances are pbliged to turn to their fellow-workers .forrassistance, it is a,matter which con- ..oeras them alone, ana is never puD- fished to, the world! As a social organization the Eastern Star-has no peer. Signet Chapter can - certainly boast of what it has gained with a charter membership of sixty-five the largest in the world at that time under supreme jurisdictions Now there is an endowment membership of sixty two, and twenty social. It holds a ban ner from the supreme hive in the state and-we hope to keep it. There has been one death in our hive the beneficiaries receiving $1,000, the deceased having paid in only $11.40. Seeing how kind and faithful our mem bers were, especially on sick committee', one lady was heard to say that she was more a Maccabee than ever; and so we hope that it will win the name of the "finest and best" in our land. Drill in the flooe work is now in pro gress and we hope to make our hive pleasant and attractive. The attendance has been exception ally good. Any lady of good character may become a member. Our meetings are held on the second and fourth Sat urdays at 2:30 p. m. We extend a cor dial invitation to the ladies of North Platte to join us and help in carrying on the good work we have begun. DEGREE OF POCOHONTAS, I. O. R. M. The Improved Order of Red Men is the oldest American fraternal and social organization now in existence in the United States. It iB founded on the customs and traditions of the aborigines of our country, preserving the character and peculiarities of the Indian race. The degree of Pocohontas was organ ized about ten years xsgo and has steadi ly increased in growth and usefulness. The name of the degree was taken from the noted"" character in Indian history, Ppcohontos, who so nobly proved her constant friendship and hospitality to the pale faces. Among the objects of this degree are the moral advancement of the members and friends, the promotion of social e- joyment, bury the dead and educate the' orphan; all of which work tends to the elevation of humanity and is naturally a part of woman's work. Our local .council, Winona Council No, 5, .has been organized two, years, and has about fifty members in good stand- kindled in our was officered by local efficient ar.d bright women. Never before since its organ ization has it, in four months' time, ac complished so much word, nor has there been as much interest manifested nor was it in as prosperous a condition as it has been Binoe January 5, of this year. The work of relief is managed prin cipally by the relief committee, which is selected with the utmost care, by the Corps president It has done, a grand, noble work, in relieving the needy and distressed this winter, spending more money than ever in the same length of time. (From the time of the organiza tion of the Corps up to the present time the receipts have been $1,233.56, and expenditures $1,105.56. The esU- atedvalue ofrelief other than money ias been about $500.) There is iro organization that does more charity work with the means it has to command and the size of the order than the Belief Corps. Its membership is composed of able, broad-minded, gen erous and loyal women. Women wno know neither friend nor foe in the hour of distress, but who are always ready to extend a helping hand to the needy ones, smoothing the pillow of the sick, and comforting the dying and distressed, their works are shose of love, and their deeds of kindness can only be num bered by the applications for help and the opportunities for honoring the mem ory of their heroic dead. While only a few, comparatively lof our army nurses are in the ranks of the living, yet they are honored by the mem- r hereof this most worthy and patriotic band of women, as they should be who rendered loving service to. their country in the trying times of the sixties. The loyal women of this order who had no loved ones in the Rebellion exert them selves to inculcate lessons of patriotism ane love of country in the minds of their children as well as those whose noble women who gave up their hus bands and sons to their country in its hour of peril. It is through the exertions and influ ence of the G. A. R. that this unselfish army of the Relief Corps are enabled to teach allegiance, to the United States and encourage universal liberty and equal rights to all men. .-The work of the Department (State)" is much similar in organization to the local organizations. Its membership numbers 3,887. The treasury contains $1,50921. Through the relief fund of the state a great many cases are aided, and comforted that it would be impossi ble for a local Corps to take charge of. The national membership is 131,081 Fhe amount of money expended for re lief for 1894, was $170,58436. In accumu lating and expending this large sum of money, the noble hearted W.R C. women show to the world that the sacrifices of the soldiers is held in grateful remem brance in their hearts, and they are proud to be called the Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the .Republic lames' of the g. a. k.
