"HIiHE COMES NEBRASKA ! " The Greeting to Our Knights Tomp- Irir in the Great Parade. HEROES OF THE OCCASION. AVIiy Do Mnlny Uoiniiianilcry of Wash ington Ijionlzcil the Sir Knights oi' the .Mtutnt of the Crucl- llvion , Kic. , Etc. Worthy Sir Knights. Sir Knights George S. Smith and DoWitt O. Sutfcu , of Omaha , remained In Washing ton to present to the national museum u fao cimlloof the Nebraska nrnu done In corn. The shield is about three feet square and is made of corn , yellow grains constituting the gold ground of the shield and red corn the blood-red cross. Above the shield are the words , ' 'Knights Templar of Nebraska. " Tno border of the frame surrounding the shield IH made of cross-sections of cars of coin. coin.This This shield will bo placed in a prominent position as a memorial among the attractions of the Smithsonian institute. It was demonstrated during the parade that the arms of the Knights Templar of Nebraska are ns well known in this country as ate the arms of thu Prince of Wales in .England. The Idea of n distinctive mark originated * nbout seventeen years ago , when the gold shield ami the red cross was adoptedand has been used since on the seal of the grand coinmandery , its letter heads and on all docu ments. The cross boars the words "Lux , Dux , Lex , Hex , " the X being common to all thu words. Uoncath the shield is u streamer bearing the words "Domlnlbuo in Omnibus. " ' 'no banner of the grand eommandory bears those arms on Its face , with no other inscription , On the reverse of the banner nru the words , "Grand Commundery , Knights Templar of Nebraska , " When the Isebraslta contingent formed in line for the grand parade , their banner was placed nt the head of the division. The standard bearer turned the reverse to the front and , when asked by ono of the grand officers why ho did not carry the cross to the front replied : "Why people won't know who wa a ro unless they can see the name of the tale. " "You turn it around , " said the officer , "and carry It that way for u mile , and if you don't think by that tlmo that the pcoplo know what that cross and shield mean you can liuvo It your way. " The banner was carried In the manner in dicated , but with many misgivings on the jmrt of iho standard-bearer. As the column moved along the streets , however , the ex. clumutlons of "Hero comes Nebraska , " "That is the Nebraska arms , " "Tins Is the Nebraska commandcry , " etc. , etc. , fell on Ids ears in a continual stream and ho did not think it nccimarv to rovcrso the stand ard. ard.Nebraska' Nebraska' badges were In great demand on all sides. The gieater number of the Sir Knights In attendance were bent on making collections of badges from the different com- muudencf , and no collection ) vas thought complete unless it contained n Nebraska badge. As a consequence the demand was creator than the supply , and 'the NohrasKa Knights were besieged by anxious collectors who offered their own badge and as high us | 5 bonus for ono of the treasures , Komo of the members of eastern comman- dcites were curious about the civilltatlon , or lack of It , existing iu Ouinha , and asked some very funny questions. One InnuMtlvoslrkulghtnskodSIr Michael Maul if there wore any Indians In Mount Calvary cominnndcry , "yes , " said the truthful Mllie , "wo imvo two of them. There is one of them , " ho con tinued , pointing to General GeorgaS. Smith , > vho was standing nour. "Don't let him uuow you are watching him , though , " con tinued the Joker , "llo is very snusltlvu , " ' curlug inquirer surveyed the brawny frame and swarthy features of the general at a safe distance. Hrothorn Biiryinir tlic Oeml. Mount Cavalry commandcry , No. 1 , was most cordially received and entertained while at the conclave by Do Molay coramamlery , No. 4 , of Washington , D. C. The most inti mate relations exist between these two or ganiatlons. Nothing was too good for the Omaha . A of the " knights. sight "open so- same" of the Nebraska arms was all that was necessary to insure a warm welcome and every attention. On Tuesday evening Mount Cavalry com- mandery visited Do Molay in response to an Invitation and was most hospitably entertained. The Sir Knights and their ladies vied with ono another to sco that their guests lacked nothing. During tno Gvcmnir , Alt. Calvary presented to Do Molay a fac-similo of the handsome banner of the former , done in immortelles an exquisite piece of work. The presenta tion was made by Eminent Sir Knight Hop- klnscommnndcrof , Mt. Calvary commnndory. Eminent Sir Knight Kobert 'iIlioston , commander of Do Molay coinmandery , ac cepted it on behalf of his fellow Sir Knights , with a few well chosen words of thanks. At the sumo tlmo there was presented to Do Molay coinmandery a copy of the minutes of Mt. Calvary commnndcry's proceedings at the tlmo which engendered the more than friendly relations which exist between these two commandoriQs : namely , the burial of Major T. T. Thornburg , a prominent mem ber of Do Molay commandory , who was killed in n light with the Utu Indians on Sep tember 20 , 1679 , Mho following account of this event is taken from Tin : Bin : Hies : The following dispatch was received at department headquarters hero : MILK liirr.il , bent. 2'J ( via. Kawlms , Re peated from Fort Steele ) . Captain Blsbce , Fourth Infantry , Fort Steelu , Wyoming Territory : Major Thornburgh killed In stantly to-day while Gallantly directing the movements of the troops. A mora poricct gentleman and gallant soldier never lived. Accept my condolence. Wo hope to recover the body , which lies only ubnut llvo hundred yards from hero. Ciuitur : , Adjutant. The place in which this light occurred Is onu of the most rugged and inaccessible mountain regions in the country a spot difficult for military operations and splen didly adapted for Indian stratagems and am bushes. The Utes wont on the war-patti with about six hundred warriors , because , us they claimed , their agent was starving them. Major Thoraburgh hud three companies of cavalry and ono of Infantry In his command about two hundred men in all , but ho was deceived by the friendly advances of the Indians and was led into an ambush. His body was not discovered until October 8 , and was brought to Omaha on Tucsdav , October 21 , where the casket was received by a delegation of knights from Mt. Calvary rnmmaiidory and escorted to Free Allisons' hull. The remains lay In state in the asylum of the above organization until the following day , when the funeral took place , The following Is from TUB Un : of Octo ber W : "A special guard of honor representing DuMolay comnuindary , of Washington , ap pointed from those sir knights who hud at tained to the highest rank in that body , and consisting of men who are all past commanders - ers and all past ofllcers of the grand com- mundcry , were mounted , and wore as fol lows : Kt.

" 1'ho pall-beurorn were Sir C. P. Goodman - man , Joiin C , Cowin , Samuel Burns , W. V. Morse , Chris Hnrtman and E. L. Blcrbower , "In addition to Alt. Calvary Commandory No. 1 , pf this city , there were twenty sir knights , of Ivuuhoe coinmandery , of Council Bluffs , and u detachment each from Avocu. Iu. , Plnttsmouth , rrceuiotit and Lincoln , Commander K. A. Allen , of Alt. Calvary commaudory. hud charge of the ceremony. " Tno ceremony at the grave was the usual Knight Templar service , which wa supple- merited by iin eloquent obituary prepared by a member of Alt , Calvary eoinmandory. Aftci- reviewing Major Thornburgh's life and gallant conduct us an officer , the ad dress concluded with an appropriate extract from "The Bivouac of the Dead. " On May 7,1SSO , a delegation from DoMolav commandory arrived In Omaha , bringing with tlmm the resolutions passed by the eommandory arid presented thom to Mt. Calvary coininandory. The following is a descrintion ol the resolutions as published in TUB UCR of May 8 , 18SO : "Tlio memorial is inclosed in a magnificent gold frame tlireo feet square , elegantly cm- bossed and chased. Across the face is the red cross of the order and its motto , 'In Hoe Signo Vinces. ' The resolutions themselves are a masterpiece of artistic penmanship , bearing all the appearance of a finished steel engraving. They return the thanks of Do Molay coinmandery , No.I , of Washington , D. C.t to Ml. Calvary commiuidery for their prompt action in paying the last sad rites to their deceased brother , Major T. T. Thorn- burgh. The resolution else declares Sir Knights Allen , Howcn , Doucll , LInlngcr , Chase and Long , who acted as mounted escort cert at the funeral on bolialf of DoMolcy eommandory , honorary members of DcMo- lay commandcry. "In addition. Sir Knight Pearson brought with him six elegant black satin badges ol liis commandcry for the newly elected hon orary members. The badges bear on their fact ) a heavy gold deslrn of u mounted knight with the inscription , 'DeMolay Couiniandery , No. 4 , Washington , D. C. ' The extract alluded to above was an ac count of these proceeding * and a copy of the obituary as givnn. The brotherly feeling already existing was greatly strengthened by this recalling of un historical event in which both cominanderies bore such a prominent part and many eyes , especially those of the older knights , wore moist at the recollections which were re called. UlHtory ol'Oild l'ollo\v-ihl ] > . [ Comliidfd/roin Latt HVrff.l At the session of 1MT the constitution was amended in such a way as to allow lodges to admit members suspended for non-payment of dues on such terms as they might pro scribe , and also to admit mombsrs of de funct lodges not able to get cards. This wus to make it easy for soldiers and others who had boon drappol through the mis fortunes of war , to regain membership in the order , which oven four years of civil war failed to divide or to create n feeling of sectionalism. During these ycnni the order had been goIng - Ing forward , and It only required a cessation of hostilities between the sections to demon strate the fact. The machinery of the order Is BO poricct that everything went forward without delay from any cause , BO .that by June ' ! < ) , 180' ) , were were -11 grand lodges and H.-IWI subordinate lodges , with a mem bership of UCS.OOS. In ton years from that tune , in 1ST1) ) , there wore 50 grand and 7 , < > iO subordinate lodges , thu membership having Increased to 500.000 In round numbers. In the proceedings of the sovereign grand lodge for l&SS , held at ho. ? A'igolcs , there wore , according to the UU est. actual rot urns accessible , & 55 , i 2 members of the order in America , 10,1X17 In Vustralaula and lS i In the German empire , making a total of 57-i , > 00 ? under the jurisdiction of the sovereign grand lodge. Not only In every state and territory of the union Is the order tirmly established , but It extends to Canada , Cuba , Mexico , Peru , the Sandwich inlands , Denmark , Sweden , the Netherlands , Australasia , ' ( Jcrmuny and , Switzerland. The above liguros Indicate Us wonderful growth , All effort ? toward harmonizing the English and American brunches having proved uuu- vaillng for sixteen years , the grand lodge pf the United States , In 1843 , severed all con nection with the Manchester Unity , and laid chum to exclusive authority to create lodges aud encampment * of the 1. O. O. f , in any section of the glooo. It is not denied xlmt the Manchester Unity Is the father of Amer ican Oddfcllowship. although Wlldoy was not a member of the former organization when thu ilrat lodge was self-constituted In Uultlmoro , but a charter was afterward granted by the Duke of York's ' lodge , ao- cepted by Washington lodge , and eubso- quuutly upprored by the Grand Committee. After the severance of all ties between American ana English Odd Fellowship , an other revision of the ritual was deemed ad visable , and in 18 U 15 , ll. Chapin , of Massa chusetts ; J L. Uidgely , of Maryland ; .lames D. McCabe , of Virginia ; J. A. Kennedy , of Now York , and W. W. Moore , District of Columbia , were appointed a committee to perform the work. Thu revision was thor ough and the reform great , the aim being to improve the morals , enlarge the fundamental principles of the order , and ctarato the character - actor of its members. Changes and altera tions have boon made since , as the necessities of the order seemed to demand. The last re vision was made in I'sfsO ' , 11 committee of thir teen having been appointed for the purpose at the preceding session. Tills revision was per haps more Hwecping in its changes than any of the former attempts. Many alterations were made in the forms and ceremonies , and the ritualistic work was subjected to an almost complete revision. In the old work there were live degrees in the subordinate lodge , but the commitlou reduced this iiiuii- lior , condensing and combining the lessons of the live into three. This is now known among Odd .Follows us the now work , and is in use at the present lime , v.ithbut little disposition for a change. It was several years after thu founding of Odd ITcliowHhlp when the encampment was recognized as u separate branch of the order. This hud its origin in what might be termed side degrees , a brief history of which will not bo uninteresting to the mumoers. Early in 1810 three degrees , designated ns the jj'irst or White degree , Second or Hluo degree , Third or Scarlet - lot degree , wore adopted b'y the Manches ter Unity. They were conferred only as n toward for faithful services and regular attendance at lodges. They portrayed trayed the beautiful lessons of to day as taught in the encampment brunch and scorn to have been the foundation upon which it started. The fourth , or Golden Kule degree , was first known in America at the organlz i- tlon of the grand louge of Maryland in 1S21. It ; was of English origin. Six past grands were present at the meeting , and nnu con ferred the degree on the other live. The de gree was confined to past grands who held membership in the grand lodge , and WHS only conferred in that body until ISi" . What Is now the Koynl Purple , llrst known ns the iltth degree , is supposed to be of American origin , although there is no record of this fact. Thomas Wildey , the father of Amer ican oadfoliowftlnp , communicated the de gree In person , hut lie never claimed to bo the author , nor did ho ever , BO far us known , give the particulars as to its origin. Thu growth of oddfollownhlp has been marvelous , while the sums spent for the re lief of distressed brothers , their widows and orphans , and the burial of thu dead have been enormous. I s works of charity are without tne usual nourish of trumpets , and uru known only to the active and attending members and their immediate- friends and families. For this Tt-uson , like t ho history of the order's obaeiuo origin and eventful career , its good deeds and lavish oxpendl- turoa to relieve and alleviate th ftrurlng of humunlty.ara known only to n lln t'-d ' circle.
