A JIUJlEltOUS AND 1WIXMAXT ASSE MM.AUB OK MASONIC imETHItEX AND F1UENDS CELEHItATE WITH JOHN W. IIOXIIY UI8 SIXTIETH ANNIVEItSAUY. A SPLENDID IIANO.UET , TOASTS' ItESPONSES AND SOwl CIAL PLEASURE. Tuesday ' was the sixtieth anniversary of tho birth of John W. Roxby , tyler of McCook Lodge < A. F. & A. M. , and the occasion was celebrated by lum , with the assistance of n large * company of "brethren of tho mystic circle" and friends , from homo and abroad , m a manner not soon to bo forgotten by host and hostess-or by Invited guests. .Following a meeting of tho lodge , the Masonic hall , which was neatly decorated , was thrown opno en to the guests , who quickly filled the same to overflowing. A.few hours were here pleasantly passed in playing cards , social chat , etc. Banquet being announced as then . in readiness the company repaired to Men- ard's Opera House , where about one hundred and fifty people sat down to an elaborate and elegant spread , upon which all feasted with keenest relish. A few toasts were then an- nounced by Dr. Z. L. Kay , the Worthy MaspI tel of lodge , and the same were responded to M follows : • S. R. Smith , Esq. , of Indianola , to the sentiment , MASONIC PRINCIPLES. The great moral requisites of f reo masonry are of tho most exalted character. In ovory stago and form of this most venerable institu- tion it acknowledges and worships Doity. Deity , who was proclaimed from Slniai as tho Lord God Almighty , nil powerful , merciful and gracious. Masons acknowledge such a Deity. There is not a column , pillar , ground floor or sanctum , through all the stops from tho Entered Apprentice to the crowning glor" ies of tho Koyal Arch , that does not acknowl- edge God. If you take tho written law of God away from tho true Mason , the whole structure will crumble. Consequently , then , tho man who-approaches tho Altur of Masonry must ' believe there is a Supreme , Infinitely Wise God ; he must have an unshaken faith in God. No Atheist can be a truo Mason. An Atheist iu a Masonic lodge would be as much out of place as Satan in heaven. A Mason must bo correct in practice , not an irrellgth lous * ' libertine , but must be a good und true man. Ho must be moral and upright beforo God and of good report before tho world. Our Masonry is so far interwoven with religion as to lay us under obligations to pay that ra- ticnal homage to Deity , which at onco const- tutes our duty and happiness. And thus , my tuBi Brothers , with faith in God , hope in immortal- jt3 and charily to all mankind , let us go on glorifying God and benefitting man , elevating hii thoughts , guiding his steps , directing the channels of charity. Do good and destroy ovil this is Masonry and Masonry's mission. Rev. E. J. Hall , of this city , replied to the ; toast , CEMENTING POWER OF MASONKY. The great principles which have just been so forcibly brought beforo our minds , this evening , move around one great centre , which influences and controls them as a great sj 6th tern , and has kept all Mddons knit together in one great solid and indivisible body for centh turies. This great cementing power is love to God and to our brother man , and wheremi ever a Mason may travel he will And friends , though unknown by face , yet bound to him by the most sacred ties of brotherly love. This cementing power is divine. It emanates from God. It is love which framed this beautiful world for the abodo of man. It is love as manth Zl ifested upon the Cross that brought redempsil tion. And to lovo Him , God gave to every man a heart. May this sacred tie grow stronggo er and stronger uutil wo reach tho celestial mansion : where true loye reigns supreme.wc 111 response to the toast which has special * application and association , Col. T. E. Mc- Cracken spoke in this wise : TUB TYLEU. Tho Tyler with a drawn sword is as useful as any member of a Masonic lodge. A portion of his ! duties are to faithfully guard the outer door and see that none enter except such as are duly qualified. The Master sits and gives commands , Subordinates obey ; The Tyler stands with sword in hand , Imposters to keep away. Away back before thehallswerebuiltMasons met on the highest hills and Jn the lowest vales ; and to keep off cowards and evesdroppj pers , tho Tyler was compelled to be as vigca ilant as a picket guard on duty in an ene . my's land. Before Masonic halls were built , And besetting walls were set , o In the lowest glades or highest hills , The mystic circle met. Tho Tyler of McCook.the brother whose gens' erous heart prepared these viands , is the most faithful of all the faithful brethren to duty , and had he been at the building of King Soloqi mon's temple where The rough ashler , and tho perfect one , Were often side by side. Like Hiram and old Jubalum , Before the former died. Had Roxby been there with his gun , To guard tho several gates , He would have saved the widow's son From such a dreadful fate. i. Our ! Tyler is always on hand with a good , willing disposition , ever ready to do his part in 0 making a meeting pleasant , profitable , inter- esting and exhibiting Freedom , Fervency and Zeal , Emblematical of worth , Are represented in the deal , By Chalk , Charcoal and Earth. This ' is Bro. Roxby's sixtieth birthday anniA versary , and I most sincerely hope he may live to enjoy with his friends many more just w such : occasions. m mCi The sixtieth anniversary , Of our John Tyler Roxby , He's had the freedom of the day. And been a little foxy. bl Long may he live to tyie the lodge , v. Long may we have his love , - w And when our lodges cease below , Join the grand above. A Dr. B. B. Davis spoke the following well chosen , happy-words on the sentiment , Fl MASONIC CHARACTER. Our wives being present to-night , it has been thought best to cast about the Masonic f ra- ' ternity as bright a halo as possible n order to " meet objections from skeptical spouses. For w these degenerate daj e , rank unbelief stalks i hi up and down our land , aud , alas ! the good old ill times of our fathers , when our mothers aco ccpted ' every oxcuse for remaining out late at ' _ night as gospel truth , are no more. I thought . this explanation necessary , in viewtiCthe fact . " * , 01 thatfonr"Worshipfuf5iaster bas laid upoame the bourdon of exposing Masonic Character ; and also , because I see some of the brothers i ai looking anxious as much as to say "make it strong" and "don't give me away. " ci But ladies , don't expect too much , for it ; t shall , be my endeavor to take nd vantage of the privileges popularly accorded to Masons , and I permit our secrets to be secrets still. From i si time immemorial , I suppose a certain portion i it of the population lias been deluded into the belief-that there is something devilish about the mystic rites and ceremonies in which Ma- sens ( tako delight. The character of the newly made Mason is popularly supposed to be grad ually made over into a sort of demon , or to be jj changed in the twinkling * of an eye into a y fiend in the guL = e of a man adherence to , a either view being dependent upon the taste or convenience of tho non-believer. The Ma. sonic lodge to these Paans is a place where tl plots are hatched and where sulphurous flames e play with such abandon that men become so t hardened that they fear neither God , man nor p . ( > v . . i j ' i tho devil , mill n-nlly lu y Imvn no human char- acterktf' * ' ri'iii'tlnliig , uxcopt an ardent ad miration for tho lasMiumcd individual. Some carry ( heir prejudices so far that thoy honest ly ] boliovo that "a Mason" und "a good man" bnvo nothing in common oxcept hnlr and beard , and a keen appreciation of cold chicken with trimmings. A few wicked and malicious individuals evon go so far as to bint that tliu last-named characteristic is what makes MaI sonry so popular with a corluln sect of the clorgy. ( Mistaken ! Thoso vlllflers s-e only what is gross and cxtornul. Nomnn lsellgll > ! o to becomo a Mason uutil ho Is prep in'H m lay hold upon thosn great moral truth * wiiio.i It J10 is tho provlnco of Masonry to teach honesty towards all mankind , onllghtoncd charity and morality. Observe , it is "nonesty towards all mankind , " not simply towards afellowMason. Tho dishonest Mason is a rare species of genus homo , made doubly prominent becauso of be ing so seldom found ; and , of course , liko the erring proaoher pointed at with scorn by tho pitiless judgo of unbelief , and made by tho world not tho black sheep of his Hock , but a fair representative of his ordor. For shamo ! Tho broad charity which Masonry attempts to inculcate is to help and lift up an erring broth- or and if he but repent to forgive him not onco , nor twice , but seventy times seven If need be , and many Is tho man , almost over tho preci pice ( , who has been reclaimed and saved by tho tireless charity of his brethren. To bo a good Mason and an Immoral man is impossible. Tho Mason's standard of morality Is as high , bil notions of duty to mankind as strict ; his rules of life as exacting as are thoso of tho . strictest churchman. Finally Masonry expects and . requires that in youth , as entered npprcny tlces , we should strlvo to the attainment of useful knowledge , in manhood as fellow crafts wo . should apply that knowledge to tho dis- chargo of tho respective duties whloh wo owe to our God , our noighbor and ourselves : bo . . . that . in old ago , as Master Masons , we may live In tho happy contemplation of a lifo well spent , and die In the hope of a glorious Iramoroi taiiti * . The toast , "Masonry as a Help to the Teacher < , " was treated by Prof. C. M. Charles , principal of Indianola schools , in appropriate terms : , True Masonry , operative and speculative , is progress I vo is always advancing , always improving. 3Iasous have improved upon tho simplest | forms and rudest structuro until thoy have produced forms most beautiful and buildings most magnificent ; from tho plainest truths , and simplest definitions they have reajj soned until they have solved the most difllha cult , the most abstruso problems of Geometry _ which is but another name for Masonry ; from ( tho first principles , learned by tho Enizi tored | Apprentice , speculative Masons have reasoned , advanced and improved , until thoy have reached tho highest Dlano of humanity and the sublimest trust in our common Father and Creator. Thus , then , is Masonry help ful to tho teachers : It trains him to observe , think , discover , invent and improve , and to adore tho great Creator. If he is thoroughly drilled in this training school , ho is well pro- pared to develop tho child to culture tho in- tellect ! , the will , and the moral sensibilities , and to culture these necessarily implies a proper development of tho physical being. By the sense of hearing the skillful teacher per ceives the will the controlling power back of the voice which he hears ; by the sense of seo- inir , he observes the features and physica' movements , thus gaining an idea of the intel lect within ; by tho sense of feeling social contact if you please ho recognizes the pulse of moral sensibilities. The information thus gained is safely lodged in tho repository of a faithful breast ; and well it may be , for , from these materials intellect , will , and moral son- sibility be they great or small , ho is expected to develop the men and women who are to govern tho world in the near future ; from theseonaterlals he is expected to develop sound well-balanced characters ; from these materpi ials he is expected to develop tho man in the highest and best sense of the word , "man , the noblest work of God. " Thus we see that Mas- ] onry is progressive that teaching Is a propf gressive science : that the demands upon the teacher ; aro progressive : that true Masonry makes a progressive man , and , consequently , to the earnest , faithful.energetic , teacher Maco sonry is most helpful. After these responses Worthy Master Kay delivered a few well-chosen remarks touching the occasion commemorated. After which Dr. S. L. Green performed the pleasant duty 0f presenting Mr. Roxby with an elegantgold ' chain and emblem charm , the former the gift f 0f the lodge , the latter that of Mrs. Roxby. The doctor's words were nicely fitted to the case , indeed. In the brim fullness of his big heart , Mr. Roxby ' lacked words to express his.high sense of gratification at the demonstration , and could but faintly murmur his appreciation of and thanks for the beautiful present be- stowed. ( The company then returned to the society's hall and for a time took up the bright thread of pleasure severed at the banja quet hour. Among those present from this city : Messrs. J. M.

The Art Loan and Tea , Held the close of last week , under the management of the Congregational ladies , was a success in every particular , save in pat- ronage accorded. The articles exhibited ex- ceeded in number and artistic excellence , etc. , what might have been expected in this new country. Some of the exhibits were rare and ancient and valuable , besides having pro- nounced < artistic qualities. The costumes for the Japanese tea , worn by the waiters and ushers , were very neat and appropriate and the general effect was strikingly pretty. The provision , made for the tea was ample and the quality unusually appetizing. Subscribers Pay Up. It is not the habit of the publisher to do persistent < dunning ; but there is a tide in the affairs of men whicli taken at the Hood leads on to glory ; so there Is a time in tiie life of the publisher when a little cash seems to be necessary , in addition to glory. An urgent invitation is extended our delinquent sub- scribers to call at once and settle tip. In other words we must have some money. The Published.

Secretary Noblo H to-day t rendered an iniportautdecisioii giving M a construction of the timber culture law , in H which he reverses the policy of the depart- H ment that has prevailed for the past few H years , and defines tho policy which will gov- H cm on this question in the future. Theques- H tion t came up on the claim of James Hair , - H who bought a relinquishment of a timber B culture claim. The law was complied with B in i all respects , and the question involved was H whether the land was devoid of timber , so that t it could originally have been entered un- , . der tiie timber culture law. It was shown that there were a few small trees or bushes H on the claim. Heretofore the interior depart- H ment lias held that one or two trees on a H claim constituted timber in sufficient quantity I to t preclude any entry under the timber cttl- tnre t act. Secretary 2 > TobIe reverses this rule. He J says , after reviewing the law at length , its i intent , its spirit and the country to which I it i applies : "No arbitrary rule can be estab- lished 1 for the government of every case. It should be the desire of the department to as- m certain what the intent and purpose of con- gress was in the passage of the act. Clearly I it i was to encourage the artificial growth of timber t in a prairie country. It is within the I experience of all minds that in all mankind / - M living I regions , that in drains and ravines a few i scattering trees are to be found , and it would not seem tljat congress intended to ex- exclude every tract of that kind from the I timber 1 culture act. It stands to reason that I it i was not the purpose to deprivethe occu- I pants of the vast prairies of the west to the I benefits \ of the act if there happened to be a single tree upon the section. I take It that words prairie land , or land devoid of timber , within the spirit of the act , means lands practically I so. " Referring to two prior de cisions on this subject , in which it was held that 1 a few trees upon a tract defeated the entry under tiie timber culture act , Secretary .Noble says that a fair construction of them would prevent an entry of any prairie land that * had timber of any character upon it , standing , fallen or otherwise. • FOR SALE. 1,200 i ACRES OF LAND 1,200 The Famous Quarter Circle "C" Stock and Grain Farm of A.

FOR RENT. A 4-room house north of Catholic church. Inquire : of W. IJ. Davis. : In the western part of the state there was formerly a large cattle company known as the Harlem Cattle Company occupying { raaches in both Dundy and Chase ' counties. Mr.V. . J. 3IcGillan was the manager. From " some cause the United States Court was called upon to appoint a receiver to wind up the af- fairs of the company and the lion. B. C. Webster , of Stratton was appointed. The i taxes for 18S7 and 1SSS had not been paid and the officers of Chase county attempted to make the collec tion by levy on the property of the com- * pfiny. A report of their proceedings was made to Judge Dundy and he is sued an injunction restraining them from making a levy on the property of the old company. Notwithstanding - this injunction , E. E. Arterbuni , coun ty treasurer of Chase county , issued a tax warrant , and Geo. W. llogers. sher iff , made the levy. These gentlemen are now cited by the judge to appear before him in Omaha , n May J 3th , and show cause why they should uot be attached for contempt for violating the the iujuuetiou. Liucolu Call.
