The next morning about HOVOU o'clock , report says that Elisha Fur. gorsou and Chris iJurhop of Roten Valley sold fourteen head of hogs at Cozad.

The lodge had but recently fitod and refurnish fit their now hall and in order that their wives , daughters and lady friends might have an opportunity to see the furniturecarpet parapha- nalia and comfortable quarters , the social was arranged. A more jovialintolligont or bettor clans of citizens have novcr ast om * bled here , than made up the large company that filled that commodious hall last night. Irvin's orchestrawhich is com posed of Benj Irvin , R W.Wilkius and Con Cannon for an Lour before the formal exercises , entertained with mortt excellent music. It was about 9 , o'clock when the Worshipful M aster , M. K. Haga. darn's gavel called the house to or dor. The entire audience had bi'on so onlhusiiiHtioly engaged in social conversation ivpue had realized how time was panning. The Worship fill Master introduce' ! J R. Dean as Toast Master. In a few well ohocen remarks , Mr. Dean stated the object of the leathering and intro duced , A4 R. llumpory , who gave tlio address of welcome , in his usual happy fitjlo L. II lowott responded to the toast ' -Masonry ; its effect on the general public" . Mr. Jewett viewed liio subject from a masonic stand point , as ho had observed durum his membership of thirty years , re lating some interesting remuiscencc in his own history. Alpha Moigan responded to the Ancient History of Masonry , in which ho took his audience back to the year of light and furnished authenticated history bnck to mid prior to the building of King Solo mon's temple , and down through the period of St. John , John , the Baptistto whom the modern ritual is dedicated.

Lomax gave his views oi Ma sonry and its effects upon the indi vidual. Mr. Lomax is ono who has the happy faculty of intelligently ex pressing his viowe on all subjects and this occasion was no exception. Mrs L. H. Jowett had boon as signed a place in the program , but as she had declined to inform the topst-mabter , her subject it was not previously announced. When she had concluded her ad- droati it was a query in the minds of some ns to whether it was a toaster or a roast , At any ralo all pro nouneod it the best address of the evening , if it did have some of the elements of a roast. The ending although somewhat humiliating to the mombora , was highly appreciated and grtatly en joyed. She concluded by inviting the men to take supper with them at Mrs Gaudy's , where the ladies had made provisions for their on tertainmont. The invitation was a complete surprise to the men , but the toaHtmaster very promptly ao copied the invitation in behalf of the led o and Mrs A. R , Humphrey called the names in the order in winch they would bo seated at the table , as only 40 could bo accom modated at a time.
