MAS0NJC DEDICA TION.
On last Thursday evening, Decem
ber 27, occurred the dedication cere
monies of the new Masonic hall in the
State bank block, in this city. Charity
lodge A. F. and A. M., is made up of
good material, and its membership cm
braces many of our most prominent
business men. and when they start out
to give the people an entertainment,
it is always sure to be done in the best
and most approved manner, and truly
thc dedication of their new hull was
no exception to the usual rule Every
thing being in readiness, promptly at
eight o'clock the grand lodge opened
the exercises by forming in thc coun
cil chamlwr, and with the lieautiful
and impressive Masonic ceremonies,
which we give below, proceeded to
dedicate thc hall to Masonry after
the following manner;
As thc grand body filed in and s
marched around the room to the
center of thc hall, thc .naster of t,!Ci
lodge addreed the. grand master in
the appended word.- The brethren of
Charity lodge", being animated with n
desire to promote the honor and in
terest of thc craft, have erected a Ma
sonic, hall for their, convenience and
accommodation. They are desirous
that the same should be examined bv
the Most Worshipful Grand lodge, and
if meet their approbation, that it
should be solemnly dedicated to Ma
sonic purposes agiceably to ancient
form and usages.
Next followed thc architect's address
to thc grand master, presenting to him
the square, level and plumb, to which
the grand master made the following
reply; Brother Architect, the skill
and fidelity displayed in the execution
of the trust reposed in you, at the
commencement of this undertaking,
have secured the cnt;re approbation of
thc grand lodgo; and they sincerely
pray that this edifice may continue a
lasting monument of the taste, spirit,
and liberality of its founders.
The deputy grand master then arose
and said: Most worshipful, thc hall in
which we are now assembled, and thc
plan upon which it has been construc
ted, having met with your approbation
it is thc desire of the fraternity that it
should now be dedicated, accouling to
ancient form and usage. Thc lodge
was then uncovered and ihe procession
marched around the room to solemn
music. On the arrivial at the east the
procession halted and the grand chap
lain delivered the consecration prayer.
After which the hall was dedicated by
the grand master to Freemasonry,
Virtueand Universal Benevolence, by
corn, wine and oil. The public grand
honors and invocation followed.
Thc grand chaplain then pronounced
the benediction, and with thc final
grand-honors the grand master uncov
ered the lodge and retired to his chair.
Sonic exellent and appropriate mus
ic and singing ensued, after which the
following officers of Red Cloud Chapter
No. 19, It. A. M. were publicly installed
by Grand High Priest J. A. Tulleys:
J. L. Miller H. P.
R. B. Fulton, king.
R. D. Jones, scribe.
C. W. Kaley, C. of IL
R. V.Shirey, P. S.
J. P. Bayha, secretary.
Win. Richardson, treasurer.
G. W. Ball. It. A. C.
James Potter, G. M. 3d V.
D. M. Piatt. G. M. 2d V.
J. B. Hampton, G. M. 1st V.
Wui. Parks, sentinel.
Tiiis done, aud thc guests about 200
strong fell too, and partook of tl ei
royal banquet prepared for thc occas
ion, and which was among the fine t
ever spread in Red Cloud. Justice
having been done.to the banquet tables
the balance of the evening was spent
in soc'sil enjoyment. Arrangements
had been previously made to have the
court prepared for dancing, and to this
temple of justice a number who wished
to " trip the light fantastic" wended
their way, and were soon lost in the
excitement of the mazy dance.
It was certainly one of thc most
pleasant social events that ever took.
place in our city.
The following ladies and gentlemen
furnished the music Ladies, Mrs.
Dodd, Mrs. C. W. Kale-, Miss Freddie
Richardson. Gentlemen, A. L. Mitch
ell, C. P. Tinker, R. B. Fulton. Wm.
Mitchell. Miss Carrie Spanogle, organ
ist. The new lodge rooms arc among the
finest' in the state. -

DcLand's Soda, and don't let your gro-.
cer argue you out of it. It will pay
you in. the end, and you will usd.no

OUR STATE.
Nebraska lies almost in thc center
of the United StatcVbeing between 40
and 43 north latitude, and 95 25' lon-gitude'west-
from Greenwiclu'fShc is
420 miles long and 210 mile- wide
The Missouri River forms a portion of
the northern, and thc entire eastern
boundary line of the State. She was
organized as a territory, 3Iay 30, 1854,
and was admitted into the union as a
slate on the first day of May, 1867.J She
is thc 24th state admitted to the Union
under the constitution, and has in
creased in population nnd wealth fast
er than any other state. In 1800 she
had a population of 28,841; in 1870,
122,993, an .increase of 94,152 in ten
years. In 1880 her population num
bered 452,402' an increase of 329429 in
ten years, and an average of over 30-
000 per year. This is a larger per cent,
of increase than can be shown by any
other state in the Union. Illinois and
K;'; I'iihly come next, but both
fall far short of the percentage .above
given. Illinois was organized as a ter
ritoiy in i$09, aud in 1810 she had a
population of 12,282; in 1820 her pop
ulation was 55162, and in 1830, 154,
445. Kansas was organised as a terri
tory May 30, 1854, aud in 18G0 had a
population of 107,200. In 1870 her
population reached 301,338, and' in
1SS0, 990,095. Trie increase in the
wealth Tof Nebraska has kept pace
with the increase of her population.
The total number of farms in Nebras
ka in 1800 was 2789; in 1870, 12301,
and in 1880, G3.3S7 ; and the total val
ue of these farms was, in 1800, $3,
878,120; in 1870 the werejjvalucd at

S2U50G4 ; in 1870, $1,549,716, and in
1880, $7,820,917. Thc total value of

1, 128,771 ; -in 1S70, $0,551,185, and in
1880, $:53,4 10,205. What state can

According to arrangements made
with thc railroads, the people of this
vicinity have graded a new sidctrach
jut south of the cheese factory. They
expect the rails will-be laid soon and
a depot built. As soon as that is com
pleted several new buildings will be
put up.. One man is going into the
hardware business ; another intends to
put up a livery 'stable, and still anoth
er is going into the commission busi
ness. No one has yet -appeared to
build a hotel, which business would be
the best paying of any. We nover ex
pect to achieve much of a town heie,
but we have a good, well settled farm
ing country north and south of us. The
most of the people are obliged to travel
from ten to twenty miles to get to Red
Cloud or Riverton to do their trading.
It would be a convenience to all con
cerned to have a few stores here. A
man who would borne in here with a
large stock of merchandise, and take
in exchange everything the' farmers
Taise, would .spon build up a large
trade and do well. .-. . ....

there is a forelock left. Apply Park

WEBSTER COUNTY.
BY AKCIID. THOMSOX.
Of all Nebraska's fertile lands.
Our Webster xiounty most demands,
At least fr.om us, some praise sincere,
With which to greet thc coming year.
The name of Webster will be known,
When all who live are dead aud gone,
Our watch-word's still our" county's
name.
To guide to honor, wealth and fame.
The volume "Unabridged" and large,
A duty grbat will still discharge ;
While Etasesmapship and law to fame.
Will long consigu Great Daniel's name.
To him all honor be, although
I know him not who did bestow
The name upon our county grand,
And fair as any in the land.
Its wealth, in sock and crop, is great, -And
money too, I'm'gldd to.state ;'
Though truly great, yetiafter all,
Compared with its resources "small.
As we increase and multiply,
(With science, labor's great'ally,)
New powers will bear upon the'field,
Aud virgin soils their increase yield.
A few more years will all uplift,
And wealth will come much like a gift;
The dug-outs then away will pass.
With every blade "of buffalo grass.
Our county town now houses show'tb.
In number aud material both
Improvements vast, beyond our hope,
And any in the Valley's scope.
The churches now are seen all o'er
The growing town, yet we'll have more;
The court house and the public school,
The stranger visits as a rjile.
Hotels, saloons, and billiard halls.
For meats, and drinks, and rolling balls,
And butchers, money-lenders, banks,
And livery stables 6f all ranks.
Biit grocery and dry goods stores
Count by thc dozen, or by scores,
Then drugs, and toys, and roots, and
fruits
And trunds, and harness, shoes and
boots.
In hardware, forks, and spades, and
pans,
Or ev'rything from stoves to nails
You'll find. And lumber, coal and lime,
Foreash, or otherwise, on time.
Of doctors, sheriffs, lawyers plenty,
Perhaps in all not less than twenty ;
Divines all orthodox, you bet,
The other kind's not needed yet.
Our barbers emulate to grace,
In hirsute ways the head and face,
But milliners and tailors too,
With jewelers the rest will do,.
We've carpenters of ev'ry grade,
And Smiths by name, and Smiths by
trade,
Velocipedes and good wheelbarrows
And wagons, buggies, plows- knd har
rows. Toothache's pain or rack controls
The dentist, and his gas consoles,
Or soothes so much, indeed in fact,
The pincers painless will extract.
But greatest yet to curse or bless,
Among them all's printing press.
It permeates the public mind
But to enlighten or to blind.
The press the lever is of knowledge
Whose fulcrum's found in: ev'ry college.
The feat Archimedes projected,
To move the world) is now.perfect'ed.
Now in conclusion I record,
Our acts will measure our reward.
May it be great, I pray in brief.
For -county, town, and Red Cloud
Chief.
A BLESSING TO AJLL MANKIND.
In these times when our newspa

advertisements, it is gratifying to know

out of order, liver inactive, or gener

world that will euro you so quickly as
Electric Bitters. They are a blessing
to all mankind, and can be had for
only fifty cents a bottle, of Henry
