THE MASONIC HOME ANNEX
Another Addition to This Prosperous Insti
tution Will Be Constructed.
$20,000 APPROPRIATED FOR PURPOSE
Rapidly Increasing Inmates Make the Con
struction of Another Annex a
Real Necessity.
It lias been but a. short period
.since an addition to the Masonic
Home in this city was completed. At
that time it was thought the new an
nus would answer the demands for
some time hence, but the rapidly in
cransing applicants for admission to
the Home has been the cause of an ap
propriation from the Grand Lodge to
build additional room. One of the
most important matters considered
and acted upon during the session of
the Grand Lodge in Omaha this week,
was the recommendation for an ap
propriation of S2i).0H) for the erection
of an addition to accommodate the
demands.
At yesterday morning's session of
the G rand Lodge the report of the
committee on the Masonic Home,
showed the home and orphanage in a
prosperous state. Thirty-six orphans
are now being cared for at the home,
and eighteen widows of Masons, aside
from a number of enfeebled and aged
members of the order.
Those who are near to the mana
gers of the home claim that work will
be commenced on the proposed annex
very soon and will be completed be
fore cold weather.

The Old Man Passes Away.
Abe Culbertson, of whom mention
was made in these columns yesterday,
passed away last night at the home of
Robert Johnson at about ! o'clock, as
a result of a stroke of paralysis which
he sustained on May '1W. Having
lived here for a long time and been
fairly well acquainted with many of
our citizens, his former life is much
shrouded in mystery, lie lived for a
number of years near DesMoincs, la.,
and in Western Kansas. During his
stay here he has been a hard working
man, following the occupation of a
chopper a good deal of the time. He
worked for J . V. Egenberger chop
ping in the timber and in the wood
yards as well, and also considerable
north of town in what is known as
Livingston Heights. Since he has
suffered the stroke causing his last
sickness, he has been at the home of
Robert Johnson, where he has laid in
a semi-conscious condition until his
death.
The county commissioners had
taken charge of his case and had made
provision for his care some time ago.
Streight & Streight had charge of the
funeral and buried Mr. Culbertson at
2 o'clock this afternoon at Oak Hill.

when anyone would go near, the bird
would My away. Yesterday when it
lit the men of the gang surrounded it,
and each attracting the attention of
the bird at the same time in such a
way that they slipped up on it and
caught Mr. Telican. They now have
him in their car. The bird is per

Remembers the High School.
The girls basket ball team of 1900
worked a delightful surprise upon the
by present
ing three beautiful chairs for the li
brary corner and a revolving desk
chair for the teacher's desk in the as
sembly room. Each chair bears a sil
ver plate inscribed "Girls' Basket
Ball Team 'OG." This was certainly
a very appropriate way to spend the
surplus from their season of basket
ball. Certainly patrons need not hesi
tate to patronize High school athletics
when any surplus is used to perma
nently equip the High school. The
High school faculty and students gave
the girls a vote of thanks.

Get Out of the Way.
One cf our exchanges says that the
postmaster general has issued an
order of notice that all rural mail
carriers have the right of way on all
country roads and that all other car
riages or conveyances must surrender
that right of way to the rural car
riers. That was the rule when the
mails were carried in four horse stage
coaches, and every one had to get out
of the way when the mail coach came
along. It is a very serious matter for
any one to obstruct the rapid trans
portation of the mails.
Bert Earber, of Elton, Wis., say

DAUGHTER OF GENERAL MANAGER B.&M.
Attended by Only Relatives and Near
Friends of the Bride and Groom.
The following account of the mar
riage of Miss Mary Iloldredge and Mr.
Edward Holyoke, which occurred at
the home of the bride's parents in
Omaha, Tuesday evening, June 4,1107,
is taken from the Bee:
The spacious home of Mr. and Mrs.
George W. Iloldredge on South Thirty-second
avenue was the scene ot a
beautiful home wedding Tuesday eve
ning when their daughter, Miss Mary
Iloldredge, became the wife of Mr.
Edward A. Holyoke of Madrid, Neb.
The house throughout was decked
with a profusion of garden Mowers, but
the company gathered for the wed
ding was not large, being limited to
the relatives and the nearer friends.
The marriage was solemnized in the
drawing room by Rev. Newton Mann
of the Unity church. The bride was
gowned in soft messaline silk and car
ried a shower of hllies of the valley.
She was attended by her sister, Miss
Susan Iloldredge, as maid of honor,
wearing a gown of green silk carrying
a loose bunch of white blossoms and
greens. Miss Leeta Iloldredge and
Miss Marjory Montmorency served as
bridesmaids and were gowned alike in
sheer white frocks and carried showers
of pink and white sweet peas. Mr.
Royal Comstock served as groomsman
and Mr. Russell Bontecue of Kansas
City and Mr. Conrad Young acted as
ushers. An informal reception fol
lowed the ceremony from 8:.')0 to 11
o'clock. After a two week's bridal
trip through the west Mr. and Mrs.
Holyoke will make their home on the
II. O. lt-nch of which Mr. Holyoke is
foreman.
The bride made her debut live years
ago. She completed her education in
Mrs. Reynolds' school in New York
City.
The Insurance Question.
tl'oiIlUlllllil'Ull'll )
Mr. Editor: I noticed In your paper
of about a week since an article, sign
ed "A Header" in which he springs on
the long suffering and over-indulgent
public a new "insurance proposition."
Now, I know something about In
surance myself, and 1 would like to
ask some questions about how this in
surance proposition which "A Reader"
is offering to us. Suppose, when a
man had carried a policy in this local
company that he proposes to form,
and after a few years he shall have to
from the shifting conditions of for
tune leave this place, does he lose the
money he has paid into the company?
I understand it is only a local affair
and if it was the case, then the money
which has been paid in would be lost
to the one who has to move away; and
another thing would, assessments
have to accumulate until there was in
the hands of the treasurer $10)0,000
before the company could do business?
for such is the state law. Now if this
is so, what kind of bonds would be
required in order to make funds safe
hands of the one who hold them?
Now insurance business is business
just the same as any other business
and has to be done on business prin
ciples, and in order to know just w hat
A Reader proposes I have asked these
questions, and when these are answer
ed satisfactorily I will have some
more to ask. Om: Intkki:ti:j.

Social Workers Concert.
The Social Workers.at their concert
at the Coateshall last evening, had
indeed a very social time. Together
with their refreshments, they had a
program which was very interesting,
and displayed considerable morit.
Marion Dodd, from Kansas City, made
a hit. dressed in his uniform and sing
ing "The Flag we Love so Well." and
was encored to the echo. Miss Graves
gave a recitation which elicited a
great deal of applause. Miss Story,
of Red Cloud, presided at the piano and
furnished some very line music, while
Miss Zelma Tuey did the singing.
Miss Mildred Cummins gave two
Negro dialect recitations and little
Elizabeth Beeson a song, both of
which were well received. Everybody
was well pleased with the entertain
ment and went away with the idea
that the Social Workers were very
sociable people.
Burlington Crop Report.
The weekly report of crop con
ditions issued by the Burlington rail
road shows rain well distributed over
the Nebraska district. Further the
report affirms the estimate recently
made that crops suffered damage from
10 to 25 per cent because of thirty days'
of unfavorable weather in April and
May. Present conditions, the report
says, are good with small grain crops
growing and corn nearly all planted'

Threw the Switch.
Some miscreant at Huron, Kansas,
threw a switch on the Misssouri Pa
cific railway and ran the passenger
train, No. 10.J onto the siding, and de
railed the engine and tore up and oh-'
structed the track yesterday morning,
so that transportation was delayed
rive hours. The evening train, which
is due here at 4:42 did not arrive until
nearly 10 o'clock. It Is time that ir
responsible persons should be taught a
lesson that will be a warning for oth
ers to leave switches and all railroad
appliances strictly alone.
