Omnlin Guards' Bnzaar.
An extensive enterprise , destined to enlist
the sympathies of young and old , in on foot
among tlio members of the Otniihi Guards.
Kvcr smco the beginning of the organization
In 18S7 there has been considerable talk of a
desultory nature about representing Omaha
at tlio nct prcsidcntl.il Inauguration. The
plans have now crystallzod into a determined
effort to "get there. " The Siege of Sebastopol -
pol has brought the guards Into such promi
nence and favor that the people of Omalm
will certainly come to the front in their ef
forts to aid them. The guards have deter
mined to hold a grand bazaar during the lat
ter part of November and the first part of De
cember in tlio armory building. The pro
ceeds of this affair aio to bo devoted to the
purchase of full dress uniforms for the boys ,
BO that they can make n good appearance at
the national capital. Tlio various commit
tees have been appointed enU are now hard
nt work. The friends of the guards have
nlgnincd their enthusiasm and interest by
substantial offers of support. Tills will be
tlio first inaugural In which Omaha , outside
of her senators and congressmen , has been
represented. The bazaar will bo the most
extensive ever given in the west and wilt
present many attractions and novelties not
usually seen. The lending society ladles of
the city have expressed a willingness to help
the boys In their enterprise and with such
assistance the bazaar is sure to be , socially
nnd financially , a grand succcsi.

Notes.
The latter part of July Hudolph Schiller , a
member of Laurel lodge , Knights of Pyth
ias , and a member of the endowment rank of
that order , died. In the latter the deceased
had an insurance of $2COO. On the llth of
August Secretary A. K. Stevens forwarded
to supreme headquarters the proofs of death ,
ana on the Cth of September the draft was
received by Secretary Stevens and handed
over to the widow. Such promptness is cer
tainly very commendable and worthy of em
ulation by other fraterno.1 insurance organi
zations.
Brother J.Vard Ellis of Illinois is out
with a two column article in the Kcview
relative to the Sovereign Grand ledge holdIng -
Ing its meetings away from Columbus , etc.
In closing his article ho says : "Tho modest
dnys of Odd Fellowship have passed , and ho
who docs not wear feathers and wield a
sword is looked upon as a poor benighted in
dividual. The boast used to bo that in our
order nil wcro upon the same level , but that
is now changed , nnd ho who is not of 'tho
army' is looked upon either as a narrow-
minded fellow , or pauper who cannot afford
a uniform ; hence ill-feeling and dissension
nro arising and will continue to grow until
dissolution will be thoresult. "
American Odd Fellowship is the wealthiest
benevolent organization on the continent. It
Is second to none in numbers ; it is foremost
in its relief and its benevolence , and its mor
ality and sociability arc unexcelled. This is
a grand record and it has all been nchievcd
without the aid of the military. Quietly and
almost unobserved it has for three-score
years and ten been administering to suffer
ing humanity. It hns stood by the couch of
the dying , and by words of encouragement
and sympathy made it possible for the departing -
parting to die in peace , it has ministered at
the grave , and in the midst of the widow's
gloom and deep sorrow it has cast a ray of
light along her dark and lonely path. It has
sheltered , protected1 , and educated tens of
thousands of orphan children , who arc
to-day singing tlio 'rfraises ' of Odd Fellow
ship. 'Lt.-i

Gale City Pont Campflrc.
A very pleasant and successful campfire
was given last night by Gate City post G. A.
R. at their hall in Odd Fellows building ,
Saundcrs street. Captain J. S. Willis , com
mander of the post , presided. The musio
was excellent , under the direction of Cap
tain Connover. Mayor Broatch gave an ac
count of campflrcs as ho had seen them in
the east. Comrade Kyner gave an amusing
account of a battle ho was not in Just before
Shiloh , and a very pathetic account ot Shiloh -
loh where ho was four times wounded. Gen
eral J. 13. Dennis entertained the audience
for half an hour with a thrilling account of
his cscapo from prison and his recapture by
the rebels. Mayor Clarkson made one of his
inimitable speeches which was followed by a
piano solo by Miss Willis. Captain John 13.
Furay made an excellent address defining
the mottoo of the order , "Friendship , Char
ity and Loyallty. " Comrade 13ur-
mctster recited in a very amus
ing way , giving the Dutch version of
"Uarbara Fritchie. " Where all did so well
in their parts any distinction would seem in-
vidioun , but wo cannot help speaking in the
highest pralso of ttio singing of Mrs. Dr.
13aldrlch , who sang In a very Impressive
manner "Tho Sword of Hunker Hill" nnd
"Way Down upon the Swanco Hiver , " and
the recitation of Miss Fulda , "The Old
Veteran's Koply to His Grandson. " This
was rendered in such an effective manner
that there was not a dry eye in the houso.
Not the least of the entertainment was the
banquet provided by the committee on re
freshments , of whlcti Comrade C. L. Straight
was chairman. Over two hundred and fifty
comrades , with their wives and daughters
and invited guests , gathered nround the
festive board , and did ample Justice to the
inner self. The success of the camp fire was
due to each and every oflicer nnd comrade of
Gain City post nnd their wives , and especially
to the adjutant of the post , Comrade Gcorpo
C. Banner , who has been Indofatiguiblo for
the past two weeks in his efforts for success.
The lire was extinguished about midnight ,
when the party separated , voting this , the
nnt camp fire of Gate City post , G. A. H. ,
one of the most enjoyable ever held in the
city or elsewhere.

The grand master workman of the Anoiont
Order of United Workmen for Iowa has is
sued an appeal to all members of the broth
erhood to contribute funds to be sent to the

peal refers to the relief that has been ten
dered by other secret societies , and urges

call from the sufferers , but take n voluntary
interest In forwarding funds. It is under
stood that nil money so raised will bo sent to
the general olllcers of the A. O. U. W. in
