DeMolay Chap
ter Initiates Half
! Dozen Candidates
i
Class Is Taken Into the National
Order for Boys at the Meet
ing Held Last Nite.
From Wednesday's Dally
Cass Chapter, Order of DeMolay,
which has in the past few months
been showing a great deal of re
newed activity, last evening held
the initiation of a very pleasing class
of young men who will form a pleas
ing addition to the membership of
the order.
The members received by initia
tion last evening included Frederick
Gorder, Charles Howard, Jack Hatt.
Arthur Winquist, Charles Taylor and
John Sanders. The initiatory work
was put on by the officers of the
local chapter in a very impressive
manner that brought to the candi
dates a very deep lesson of the lofty
principles on which the order ha?
its foundation and which has served
as the inspiration to the thousands
of boys over the world that have
been ' numbered among the DeMolay
membership.
The session last evening was at
tended by a large number of the
Masons of the city and who were
very much pleased with ' the man
ner in which the work was carried
out by the members of the chapter
The local chapter is to hold their
installation of officers in the next
few weeks and which event will b?
another occasion of a great deal of
interest in the ritualistic work of
the order.
The members and their advisor.
Claude C. Smith, have been con
ducting a membership drive among
the young men of the city who are
eligible for membership and with
the result that the next few "weeks
will see quite a plnasing number
enrolled in the ranks of this splen
did uplifting order for boys from
16 to 21 years of age.
INGERS6LI ORATION. " .
AT THE BUREAUX
FUNERAL HELD TODAY
Following are excerpts from the
oration delivered by Robert G. In
gersoll at the grave of his brother.
Ebon C. IngerscH, at Washington.
D. C, on June 3, 1S79, and which
were read at the funeral of Luther
Burbank at -Santa Rosa, Cal., this
afternoon. ,
"He has not passed on life's high
way the stone that marks the high
est point, but, being weary for . a
moment, he lay down by the way
side, and, using his burden for a pil
low, fell into that dreamless sleep that
kisses down Xiis eyelids still. While
yet" in love Vith life and rapVuft'd
with the world, he passed to silence
and pathetic ' dust.
"Yet, after all. it may be best, just
in the happiest, sunniest hour "of
all the voyage, while ecger winds are
kirsing every s3il, to dash against
the unseen rock, and in an instant
hear the billows roar above a sunken
ship. For, whether in mid-sea or
'meng the breakers of the farther
shore, a wreck at least muFt mark
the end of each and all. And every
iife, no matter if its every hour is
rich with love and .every moment
jeweled with a joy, will, at its close,
become a tragedy as sad. and deep,
and dark as can be woven of the
warp and woof of mystery and death.
"This brave and tender- man in
every storm of life was oak and
rock, but in the sunshine he was vine
and flower. He climbed the heights
and left all superstition far below,
while on his forehead fell the golden
dawning of the grander day.
"Life is a narrow vale between the
cold and barren peaks of two eterni
ties. We strive in vain to look be
yond the heights. We cry aloud, and
the only answer is the echo of our
wailing cry. From the voiceless lips
cf the unreplying dead, there comes
no word; but in the night of death
hope sees a star, and listening love
can hear the rustling of a wing."
STATES HE WAS INNOCENT
The Journal has received a letter
from Sterling Hodge of near Lincoln,
relative to a charge that was filed
against Mr. Hodges here in Cass coun
ty on August 25th, charging nlm with
removing mortaged property from the
cotinty.
Mr. Hodges states that he is in
nocent of the charge that was prefer
red against him and that the car
that he was charged with taking has
since been found in Colorado and the
matter closed up.
The young man feels that he has
been cleared of the charges that were
made against him and wishes the
friends and acquaintances to know
that he has been cleared of any com
nlicitv in the affair, and it is cer-
! tainly very pleasant to the friends
to know that this fine young man had
been cleared.
