was undoubtedly the largest, most en
thusiastic and brilliant of any since
the first one in 1891. Every county in
the state was represented by at least
one delegate, and visiting members to
the number of about 700 also attended
the session. A class of 200 candidates
were adopted into the order on Tuesday
night prior to the opening of the state
camp on the following morning. A
special train from the west arrived at
Columbus about 3 p. m. on Tuesday
and another from Lincoln bearing the
head officers arrived at 3 p m. The
Second Regiment band of Osceola,Neb.,
was in attendance and furnished the
music. At the opening of the sessionv
A. .J. Williams of Magnet was elected
