v | of this branch of masonry were sown in this
K / fetnto about three years ago , and since thai
W I time they have been germinating , sprouting
$ 1 and growing until during the past week
& 1 i they have borne fruit , the harvest of whlel
V ( was gathered hist Thursday in the initiation

t Tlio ancient accepted Scottish Kite , while
not claiming that Its origin is lost in the
y j mist ol nntiiiuity , can trace the hlsUry of iU
ti 4 most importnnt grades , In an organized form
i back into the preceding century , ami in n do
Inched form to the fourteenth century. 1
i Is the most universal of nil the rites of free
masonry. It numbers among its members !
inulUuido of the most intelligent and re
nowned men of every country where free
masonry Is known and practiced.
In 11VJ5 : The ancient accepted Scottish
Hito of masonry wns first instituted it
Franco under the iinino of the Kite of Per
* faction , consisting of twenty-live degrees
the last ono being that of Sublime Prince o
! the Koyal Secret , corresponding to the pros
j ' cnt3M degree.
I In lb < > 7 : The sovereign grand conslstor.\
/ nneiont nnd accepted Scottish Kite for tin
) United States of America , their tcrritoriei
' nnd dependencies , by virtue of patent
emanating from the grand orient of France
i was orgnni/ed and established m New York
I city by 111. Hro. Joseph Cerneau , the regular
i commissioned deputy Inspector genernl o
I the grand orient of Franco , nnd on the 25tl

f ofllccrs complete , and notice thereof , wit
copies of the ( intents under which it was ere
ntctl , were duly sent to all the known suprem
' masonic bodies of the world , which was fo
lowed by the most ample recognitions , whle
have never been withdrawn.
In 1SUI E. Do In Mottn , or.3 of the founder
of the Charleston council , came to New
York , nnd observing the success of the supreme
premo council of IMS nlrcady cstnblishcu ,
proceeded to communicate the grades to ono
| J. J. J. Gourgas ( who became secretary ) ami
n few others , nnd to orgnnizo the so-called
northern council ; it prospered fairly until
1817 , when it dissolved. In 1 18 it was
resurrected by the old secretary J. J , J.
kv i Gourgas. In 1WJO n split of the so-called
northern council into two factions occurred.
The order experienced u number of Important
changes during the years from 1S1" to 1841 ,
but its oftlcers uml members were always
firm nnd true to their work us the great suc
cess of the order up to the present time
shows.
In 18-14 : The grand comtnandery of Knights
Templar of Ohio , adopted section 1 ! ) , article
I , statutes , acknowledging "tho Supreme
Council ! 1SS Ancient and Accepted Scottish
Kite. " The only supreme council then in
active existence in the United States wns
that of 1813 , to which thcso bodies owe
allegiance.
In 1881 : This supreme council of 1813
elected the Lieutenant Grand Commander
Illustrious Hrother Hopkins Thompson us
grand commander , nnd since that time Uio
rite has been steadily growing uml prosper
ing , north nnd tiouthcast and west , knowing
no north nor no south. It Is opposed to nil
forms of absolutism or one-mun power. It
is opposed to nil doctrine that infringes on L
ouch individual's right to liberty of thought
and conscience , which gives him the right to :
worship with what church , or belong to what
rite ho may choose. This rite is governed by
n republican constitution and its government
is n rcpresentntive one ; all the ofliccrs are
elected.

The Installation and Inaugural exercises
concluded with n grand love feast at the
Mlllard hotel Wednesday evening nt which
the brothers of the order met to add one and
the last impression of pleasure to the Inaug
ural Initiatory exercises of the past two days.
The tnbles were arranged with great taste
and at 8 o'clock seventy-five of the members
of the order took their seats to do Justice to
thu viands that had been prepared for the
occasion.
TIIK TOASTS.
After an hour nnd n half spent In feasting
the body , Dr. L A. Mcrrlam , the newly
elected vice grand potent grand master as
toast master addressed the brothers in a few
well directed remarks in regard to the secret
orders of the land. At the conclusion of
hit remarks he announced as thu
first toast , "Tho Grand Lodge of Ne
braska , " was resiKHided to by Judge J. H.
fJarnes of Ponca. past grand master. The
Judge spoke briefly of the history of the body.
It was organized about twenty-live years
ago and now has ! i. ( ) lodges. Its first grand
master was Hrother Jordan , and since then
men high in ofllcial plane nnd dig
nity had stris'cn for and won that honor. The
grand ledge was poor in purse at the start ,
but is now rich , aim has thousands of mem
bers.
"Tho supreme council for the United
States of America and their territories
and dependencies , " was responded to by
illustrious brother John G. Harkcr , of Now
York , general deputy nnd secretary general
of the supreme council. This body , ho said ,
began almost with the century. Its original
members were thu leading Allisons of Now
York , such men as Do Witt Clinton. At Its
foundation it assured the grand ledge that it
had not come to Interfere with the blue lodgu.
One of its llrst acts was to establish the
Knights Templar , and the first American body
of the latter was organized from its mem
bers. It has established a supreme council
In South America mid numerous consistories
in the United States. There is no doubt of
the legitimacy and the authority of this body.
II knows no north , no south , no cast , no west ,
Its platform is liberty , equality and frater
nity. The grand consistory of Nebraska l
welcomed to tno fellowship of the supreme
council.
Colonel G. A. Frambes , of Columbus , O. ,
was Introduced as the illustrious com
mamlcr-in-chief and the giant warrior ol
Ohio. He spoke at length with "Tho G ram1
Consistory of Ohio , " as a text. Ho said the
original consistory was orgunbed as a body
of the Scottish Hito of the northern Jurisdic
tion. Ho found that to bo monarchical am
arbitrary in its sway , and ho then altllintct
with the southern Jurisdiction but with tin
satisfactory results. The consistory under
this Jurisdiction was organl/cd in ls4 ami
has thiity-tliroo subordinate bodies with 1,5K (
members , while the Scottish rite of the north
ern Jurisdiction is thirty-live years oh' am'
has but nineteen bodies witli l , ! < uM mem
bora. *
"The Grand Consistory of Minnesota" wa' '
responded to by Mr. E. J. Edwards , jr. , o
Minneapolis , past illustrious cominandcr-in
chief , who spoke briefly. He said the Mlnne
sola consistory was organized four year
ago with seventy members ami now has IKKl
Mr. N. H. Edwards , of Webster City
B | eke briefly to the toast , "Tho Grand Con
sistory of Iowa. "
"Tho Masonry of America" was spokei
to by Past Muster H. C. Atkinson , of this
city."Tho
"Tho Ladies" was responded to by Hrother
Halph Hreckcnridgc , of Omaha.
Tlio festivities of tlio evening concluded
at 11 o'clock , and the brothers of the new
order , after saying good night to the gcntlu-
nien who have done so much toward institut
ing the order at tills plac'j and in this state ,
left for their homes.
#
The Other SUIo'H HtntPtiicnt.
With reference to the newly organized
Scottish Hito bodies n prominentMnson said :
"Nebraska has for twcnty-ono years been
occupied by the supreme council of the
southern Jurisdiction and has been working
under General Albert Pike , as grand com
mander , and what is termed the Gcrncnu
lllto has lately been established as a now
organlratlon. This organization has l.e'n
recently denounced by all bodies of Scottish
Hito Masons in Europe and America as
clandestine , and its diploma as worthless.
The Masonic Dictionary says : 'In l ij : , in
New York City , lie ( Gerncau ) established a
spurious body. This Masonic Charlatan ,
who claimed the right to organize bodies of
the A. and A. Scottish Kite , wns expelled
nnd his pretensions denounced by the \giil
supreme council , nnd ho and his followers
have for years given much trouble to tlio
Scottish Hits bodies. '
"Tills Ccrneau organization has been de
clared by numerous grand lodges , chapters
nnd commandcrics as a spurious nnd clandes
tine organi/ation nnd has been denied part
nership in Masonic buildings. Tlio bait of
cheap degrees has been used to tempt tlio
ignorant nnd unsuspecting into its toils. The
peddlers of thcso degrees nro the best Judges
of their value and it Is evident to the un
prejudiced that tney arc dear nt any price.
The conferring of tlicso degrees requires up i
the y2 = over two years time and the .Tl = is
seldom conferred in the regularly organi/ed 1
bodies except as a great honor : and yet all 1
these degrees in the spurious bodies were obtained -
tained in two days. It looks certain that
'there is something rotten in Denmark. ' "
In addition to tlio foregoing facts , the
Masonic grand ledge of Ohio , nt its Decem i-
ber session , 18b , declared the Cerneau
bodies to bo spurious , illegal and clndestirio ,
and further declared * ho northern and south
ern jurisdictions of thu A. and A. Scottish
Hito as represented by General Palmer'nnd
by General Albert Pike , to bo the only leg
ally organized bodies of thu kind in the
United States. This statement is made not
iti
for purposes of controversy but to warn ma i-
sons generally against falling into a snare
nnd assuming obligations to an organization
which is ostrueUed among all Scottish Hito
masons the world over and has been de
nounced by every grand lodge of the York
Hito boforu which its unmasonic character |
has been formally presented. "

i For the past six months there have been

compares very favorably with other organi

lows : "A custom has grown up In suhordl

ladies enter into the count with great zest ,
uml when the number gets In the neighbor
hood o. ninety-eight , blood-heat , It begins to
be truly exciting. Some of the young ladles

bility of the sign , but are very chary of
whom they meet after tLey have counted
their ninety-ninth mini.

SEVENTH YEAR FOR THE GREAT
XJICK MEAL
Over 950 were in use in Omnlin , .Inn. 1.1SSS. Nearly 176
have been sold this spring. Not $5.00 worth of repairs have
been needed for the whole lot. Never an accident has boon
reported from ono , when all other Gasoline Stoves have
caused accidents. The reason the Quick Meal has never
caused an accident , is because it is so arranged that it strict
ly guards against accidents.
It will take only two-thirds the fuel of any other Gaso
line Stove , and will do all your cooking , washing , baking %
and ironing with two thirds of the expense of a coal stove.
You will feel better in the fall after using a Quick Meal
through the summer , because you have not perspired your
health away during the summer over a hot cook steve in the
extreme hot weather.
Helow I give the names of 150 who have bought the
Quick Meal this spring. Look over the list may bo some of
your acquaintances are among them , to whom you can refer
