ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOMs
A determined effort la to bo
made to bring the 1898 session of the
National Fraternal congress to this city.
The first steps in that direction were taken
nt a recent meeting of Omaha lodge No. 18 ,
Ancient Order of United Workmen , to which
must bo assigned the credit of making the
Initiatory move If the erosion Is obtained.
James W. Carr , nn active worker of the
order In local and national circles , haa
been appointed a committee of ono to do
the preliminary work. Ho will at once
open up a correspondence with the present
officers of the congress. It Is needless to say
that his efforts will bo fully backed up , not
only by the Ancient Order of United Work
men , but also by other orders In this sec
tion of the country.
From a distinctively financial point of
view the congress might possibly bo of com
paratively little- benefit to the city during
the exposition year , when Innumerable other
bodies , many of them with larger member
ship , will bo meeting hero In Omaha.
Usually the number of those who attend
the sessions does not exceed fifty , although
there may bo more brought to thla city on
account ot the attraction offered by the
exposition.
From other [ mints of view the meeting
would , however , bo of great benefit. The
proceedings of the sessions arc usually ex
amined by a big majority of the membeiw
of secret orders In this country , because
the body appears to bo obtaining greater
prestige as It grows older. In this manner
the city would probably bo better advertised
than by any other meeting that could beheld
held In the city during the exposition year.
Then , while Its membership Is small In
numbers , the body contains a great number
of distinguished and well known men. In
many cases they are the head ofllccrs of the
various secret societies which are entitled to
representation. Moreover , In the majority of
canes , such ofllccrs are usually men promi
nent In , the section of the country In which
they reside ami their Influence la strong
In financial and other circles ,
Taken all In all secret society men bcllevo
that the meeting should bo secured If pos-
tlble. Therefore It Is more than probable
that an effort wilt bo made to unite the
beneficiary ordera In the endeavor to have
Omaha selected as the meeting place in the
exposition year. Regarding this a man prom
inent In the orders sulil :
"No ono body Is able to malio a success
ot the. attempt , In my opinion. It Is ab
solutely essential that all the orders should
take a hand In the work. With a united
pull I believe that the meeting can bo ob
tained. I think , too , that If the orders come
together on the matter wo con , If necessary ,
send a delegation to the meeting of next year
to Induce the body to come hero. The cx >
ponso of tmch a delegation could bo easily
raised In the big membership of secret so
cieties hero In the city. "
Nebraska la entitled to the meeting if
the strength of Its secret societies Is taken
into account. It has as big membership In
fraternal and benevolent orders as any other
etato In proportion to Us population.

A circular has been issued from the head-
quarteri of the sovereign camp In this city
calling the attention of subordinate lodges
to the meetings of the so-called convention
head camps. The camps are something of
the nature of the etatc grand lodges of
other orders , except that at present the
territory which each covers contains covcral
states. There nro eight of the conventions
In the United Slates , each of which will
meet In the central portion of Its district
on February 2 , next.
ThU state Is In the territory which In-
elude * , 4n addition , North Dakota , South
Dakota , Kaaaai , Indian Territory and Okla
homa. The head camp convention will meet
In Lincoln. It Is anticipated that there 'will '
bo In the neighborhood of 160 delegates In
attendance. The camp Is composed of one
delegate from each subordinate camp and
ono additional delegate for each fifty mem
bers , or major part thereof. In the sub
ordinate camp. At present there are about
4,000 members of the order In this district.
The principal piece of buslnesss that thcso
conventions will have before them will be
the election , of delegates to the sovereign
camp. This sovereign camp will , when It
meets next March , be for the first time In
Its history a representative body. In the
past it has been composed of the sovereign
officers alone. According to the constitution
of the body , it la composed of one delegate
from each state having GOO or more members ,
and ono delegate-at-largo for each 5,000 mem
bers above the first D.OOO In good standing.
According to this provision this convention
bead camp will send flvo delegates to the
sovereign body.
In addition to the election of representa
tives , the convention head camps are also
allowed to transact business and adopt laws
and rules for their own government , within
certain restrictions prescribed by the rules
of the sovereign camp- They are , however ,
not allowed to levy tax on the subordinate
camps or the members thereof , contrary to
the custom of many orders.
The sovereign officers are at present en
gaged In raising a fund from the member
ship for the purpose of erecting a log cabin
at the Tennessee Centennial exposition ,
which -will Ije held at Nashville next sum
mer. It Is proposed that the building shall
cost In the neighborhood of $4,000. Sub
scriptions have been solicited from the var
ious subordinate camps throughout the coun
try , and the responses have been liberal.
So far several hundred dollars have been
raised. The fund is to bo expended under
the direction of the sovereign board of
managers.
