Tho nnnual bnnqnet aait pnbllc In
stallation of OcthtPuiatteOtmiinftuncry
of Knight Templnrs last nlsbt at
masonic hnll was n uotable event in
the nunnls of tho Ootamandery.
Plumed Knights, beaatifully gown
ed ladle, charming tuuilo esnislte
decorations, good things to eat and
drink, wise nnd wittv speech wire
never better combined and more pret
tily harmonized than nt the meeting
Inst night. Tho ensemble ns the ladies
wonld sny wns perfect ;a fitting henor
to the Oolnmbus citizen who occupies
tho offico of Kight Eminent Grand
Commander of the Knights Templar
of Nebraska. Dr. L 1). Evans and, a
credit to Uethsemane ('ommandory.
Nearly one hundred people, inclnding
tho Knfghts mid their families and a
very few invited guests were present.
At uine o'clock theKnlebts marched
into the hnll whore the regalarr ellg
ious service of the Knights wns con
ducted by Sir Her. D. O. Pattee of
Cnlnr Knpids It was a beautiful ser
vice nhly conducted. At the close of
tho service the following named offi
cers of Gothsomano Commander? were
Installed by Kight Eminent Sir Fran
cis E. Whate of Omaha assistod by
Kmliient Sir Hobert McConaughy,
grand marshal ; Oustnvus A. Hchroo

The music was furnished by a mix
ed imnrtetto consisting of Mesdauies
V. D. Evans and E. U. Chambers and
Messrs. Fred Saffron and LloydS wain,
accomiHMiieil on the organ by Mrs. C.
J. Garlow and on the violin by Prof.
Frank Slke. Tho music was appro
priate and it was given in a manner
that euvoked geueral compliment.
At the close of the installation the
guests repaired with the Knights to
the banquet hall where n mosl tempt
ing menu was served by the ladies of
tho Episcopal guild. Two long tables
wero spread tho full length of the
hnll and n short table decorated with
red roses stood nt the head of tho hall
for the speakers.
It is impossible in a brief descrip
tion to do justice to the excellent
speeches. Each is worthy nf special
meutiou. All the knightly virtues
were extolled nud n lofty sentiment
ran like n thread through the three
nours of speech making.
Sir Carroll D. Evaus presided as
toastmastcr, introducing the speakers
with appropriate nud dignified re
marks. Toasts wero responded to as
follows:" Tho President of the United

Bodies of all Rites and Degrees over
the Surfaco of the Earth: Honor nnd
Laurels to tho Worthy ; Protect Vir
tue, Succor tho Widow nud Orphan
and the Oppressed Everywhere,"
Chnrles J. Phelps.
It would not bo right to pass the
tonsts without ranking special refer
ence to those responded to by the
Indies. It is not doing an injustico to
tho ranlo spokesmen to say that
Mrs. Evnus and Mrs. Stires outshone
the ohiualric knights.

Interesting Documents.
S. O. Grny was.prnsented recently
with two historical documents which
ho pri.es very highly. Olio is a copy
of tho New York Herald under dnte
of April in, IHm.
It contains n full account of the
anamination of Abraham Lincoln aud
of tho light nnd pursuit of JohnWilkcs
ISooth tho nssassin. This description
elves n truer picture of the intense
excitement of tho time thnti enn bo
gnlticd from tho nverngo school his
tories. Mr. Grny, who lived in north
ern Illinois nt the tlmo and who heard
the historic Lincoln-Douglas debates,
remembers tho oiact point on tho
rond to Princeton, Illinois where ho
was nt tho time the news of Lincoln's
assassination readied him nnd he re
calls with vivid interest all tho cir
cumstances discrlbed in this ago yol
lowed copy of the New York Herald.
The other document referred to is a
copy of tho Vlckburg Daily Clti.en,
bearing tho dnte, July 'J, 1MV, This
pnporls more interesting e von thnn tho
other. Printed just before the fnll of
Vicksburg, when tho city hnd been
cut olT from tho outside world for
weeks by Grant's besieging army,
tuo Citien lucked I ho ustinl news

It is printed, therefore, on the back
of heavy ligured wnll par. And
tho story of privation and want told
in tho unl(ne wall print pnpor, is em
phasiPil on the printed page. Tho
lovnl editor npponls to tho oltlons
nf wealth to como to tho rescuo of
tho starving ennfodorntonrmy, express
ing his earnest bobllef that reinforce
ments wonld arrive in a few days.
Ho expresses his contempt for tho
money sharks nnd spenulntors who
were holding grain nnd provis
ions to sell nt oxhorbitnnt prices.
Iu nuo place ho referes to the boast
of Grant thnt ho would "eat dinner
iu Vicksburg on July 4th." Ho re-
ninrks thnt "Grant will have to enter
tho city beforo he dines in It" and
closes with tho remark that "You
have to cntch n rabbit before you
kill It."
Theso Interesting papers were pre
sented to Mr. Gray by Will 1). Dalo,
