The Improved Order of Red Men last night held one, of the largest meeting of their order held in years, in addition they had such a time H3 only Red Men could have. It was a time of gaiety and mirth after the Impressive ceremonies of Initiating a great big class into the mysteries of the order had been gone through with. The work of conferring the sev eral degrees was put on by the team from the Nebraska City council, and it was most impressive to a degree The members of the NefcrasKa City team arrived in the city last even ing on the M. P. train and were taken in charge by a committee from Missouri tribe and given their sup per at the Hotel reruns, rne team which Is ono of the best In the state later administered the several degrees to a big class of pale faces anxious to investigate the mysteries of the order. Bringing with them paraphernalia of the order and being eauipped In every respect for the work, the Nebraska City team did themselves proud and earned an un dying place in the affections of the members of Missouri tribe. The work was not alone , beautiful but It was put on in Its most Impressive man ner by the members of the Nebraska City team. The candidates for adop tlon could not but be Impressed with the solemnity of the adoption and each one agreed that nothing more striking or beautiful had ever been their lot than this ceremony. Immediately following the cere niony of the Initiation there was a banquet served in the dining parlors adjoining which was a veritable feast There was roast hog, sweet potatoes celery and dog meat galore and any member of the order who failed to get in on this had no one to blame but himself. The Journal's vrepresen tatlve, Charles Grimes, himself a brave of the order, was seized while at the feast and compelled to stand forth on the floor and extend the thanks of the Missouris to the.r neighbors from the Otoe reservation for their timely visit and the good work which they did. He did the best he could In this respect and hopes that the members of Otoe tribe i understood his words In the spirit they were intended. He was too full for utterance full of eatables as everyone who saw his ignominious entree upon the floor can testify. It Is hard for a man to talk when he has his mouth full of roast pork, sweet potatoes and celery as the writer can testify but he did the best he eould under the circumstances and has no apology to make. Any- way Mr. Grimes tried to express the I gratitude which the Missouris oweda'! ralsed rour grand-cniidren anu to the Otoes who are the best fel lows ever in addition to being up-to-date Red Men. Their work during the initiatory ceremonies was of the j highest order of merit and reflected brightly upon the members of the organization. They are real Indians and from campfire to wigwam, they deserving of the highest praise as the best type of Americans. Those attending from Nebraska City were H. Thurman, S. Poling, Ira Golden, W. M. Gagnebln, D. W. McCullum, J. P. Bauman, E. G. Bauman, D. M. Crums, E. P. Mc Gum, A. L. McGum, A. T. McGum, N. Andreasen, M. W. Nutaln, Dr. Edmonds, Ed. S. Lamon, Mike Bauer. The Nebraska City visitors depart ed for home on the midnight train after having delighted the members of the Missouri tribe for nearly four hours. Owing to the length of time which the initiation took the ln- stallatlon of the officers of the lodge was postponed unui me nexi council nre Or me Oraer. J. Livingston RIchey departed this morning for Omaha where he will enter the employ of one of the big banking concerns of that city as stated in yesterday's Journal. Do you want an AUCTIONEER?

They are new late arrivals and just as saleable one month as another. To say that we are offering these at any great discount would not be true.

But we are doing this: Every suit in the house, men or boys, that is the end of a line, we are selling for CASH at J-x to l2 olT, according to the size, color and weight. Now this means that you can buy some suits as low as $8, $10,"$12 and $14, that sold from $2 to $14 higher. Overcoats the same way; odd pants the same; other merchandise the same way. In some cases this does not represent the cost, but we are determined to close out' this seasop's goods before getting in the next. A great many have already availed themselves of these low prices. You will only be doing justice to yourself to take advantage of them. We shall be glad to show you whether you buy or not. THE Mrs. Theodore Boedeker. Diet at Home in Louisville, Neb. Mrs. Theo.
