It Is expected that at least 200 outsiders
will bo In attendance either as delegates or
visitors. They will represent the ieventy-
flve lodges that are In the state. This num
ber will bo augmented by some forty or
fifty delegates to the encampment of the
Daughters of Veterans ,
It Is believed 'that the session of the Sons
of Veterans -will be a harmonious one. There
Is considerable business to be transacted ,
but none of it Is of great Importance or of
general Interest with the exception of one
matter In the support of which the lodges
have unitedly alllgned themselves. This
matter Is the capture of the national en
campment for this city during the exposition
year.
The task Is a big one. but If It Is suc
cessful It will bring n very desirable con
vention to this city. The encampment Is at
tended by thousands of delegates and visitors.
Doubtless with the addzd attraction afforded
by the exposition , the Immense numbers that
usually attend the gatherings will be still
further Increased. If the convention la
tecured It will be n big thing for the ex
position , for Omaha and for Nebraska.
As the principal means of getting the en
campment It is desired to send a man of
Influence and weight to this year's meeting
as Nebraska's delegate. The local lodges
have picked1 upon Senator John M. Thurston
ns the beet matt , nnd eVery effort will be
made to secure his selection. He-has already
signified his willingness to assume the duty.
Whoever Is selected he will be accompanied
to the encampment by n crowd , of enthusi
astic supporters , that have already been
OeterminJ upon.

Iloheiiilnii Ilenevoleiit
During the past week there has been held
this city a meeting that seems to be
pregnant with grave results for this benevo It
lent Bohemian order. It appears not nt nil j'
Improbable that the ultimate- conclusion will
be the severance of the main body of wo it-
A
cm lodges from the order and their Incor
poration Into an entirely new association. '
As a matter of fact , the main object 'of the
meeting wax to discuss ( ho Advisability of a
accession from the present' organization ,
The meeting was ( lie culmination of a
long-standing dlflleulty between the western
and eastern lodges. This trouble was over
the plan of-OFiseumnont , Ever flnco the body
started the so-called "level assessment plan"
1ms been uoed. By this all members of the
qrder , no matter what their ago when they
outer , must pay exactly the same rate for the
insurance benefits. This rate has been from
$13 to $15 a year for $1,000 Insurance ,
The western lodges * have opposed the main
tenance of this system , and have advocated
the fiubatltutlon of the graded plan for It.
They argued that on account ot this level
assessment system the younger generations
Bohemians 'havo ' objected to entering the
order elnco they are compelled to pay the
eaino insurance rnto as members of more
advanced age. To this they attributed the
decreaHo In membership during the past ten
years. This decrease has been especially
sreat In the west.
For some reason the supreme lodge has
paid no attention to the complaints ot tbu
western lodges , and as a consequence the
latter determined to take steps to force recog
nition. A meeting of delegates fromue86 '
western lodges was callejj 'Ins My being In
selected as the pla ancfFebruary 9 as the by
date. jTb i-mcouiiB was duly held on last
Tattity and continued In session on the
following two daya , -
There were present delegates from Wiscon Is
sin , Nebraska , Minnesota , North Dakota ,
South Dakota and Iowa. They wore about In
twenty-five In number and represented some
fblrty-Qyo out ot tbo ninety lodges la. the
west. These Iodgt4 have A membership every
very nearly 3,000. .The meetings were hcl
In Met- hall on Sautii Thirteenth street.
The result of thoi gathering wns the U
suancc of an ultimatum to the supreme lodge
By resolution n demand was made upo
that body to call upon all the lodges In th
tcnltory covered by the order to vote upo
tlio question of substituting a graded pin
of assessment for the level plan , If this t
not done by July 1 the supreme loJge wa
given to understand that the western lodge
would secede ftom the parent body and torn
an entirely new order.
Tlio meeting laid all the plans for con
tlnulng as an 'independent order In case tha
the demand Is not compiled with , A sys
tern was adopted which In many respect
differs materially from the one now employe
nnd which contains mnny of the feature
shown to bo good by Ihd experience of I5ng
llsh secret fraternal bodies ,
The moat Important change Is the propose
adoption of the graded system of assessment
The minimum ago -of admission 'Is 20. Th
maximum Is Increased to 50. The arscss
mcnt on $500 Insurance on the first class
members who Join when they arc betneci
20 and 25 years of age , Is 35 cents. Th
assessment on the highest clacs , those C1
ycaro of ago ulicn they Join , Is fixed nt S1
cents. Intermediate ages arc given proper
tlonato assessments.
The preMnt order Issues only $500 nn
$1,000 ccrtlflcntcs. The proposed new ordc
will alfo laauo certificates for Jl.fiOO an
$2,000. The $1,000 nnd $1.500 will be In3tie <
only to applicants not over -15 years of age
the $2,000 to applicants not over -10 years o
nge. The zsrswmcnt will bo rcspectlvcl ;
twice , thrice and four times as much n
for the $500 Insurnnce.
The proposed new order will nlso establish
n reserve fund. It will ml mil nodal mem
bers , who will not be required to take out In
surancc. It will not pay death benefits to thosi
members who commit suicide. All thcsi
are changes from the syetcm of the exist
ing order and are the most Important ones
Plans were formed also to start a nc\
order at once If the supreme lodge doe
not nccede to the demand. An executive
committee was appointed to draw up n nc\
ritual , a constitution nnd by-lawn and artl
cleg of Incorporation. Those will go Into ef
feet nt once If the supreme lodge does node
do as requested. It wns not decided jus
what atop will be taken In caw that the
supreme lodge docs accede , nnd the lodge
vote against the adoption of the grade
plan of assessment.
Tills executive committee Is composed o
the following : Joseph Zbanek of Cedar Rap
Ids , In. , president ; Alois Blaha of Ccda
Rapids , secretary , nnd H. Breuer of Nev
Prngue , Minn. , treasurer. The members o
the commltteo nre empowered to becomi
grnnd ledge olllccra In cntx ; that the DU
preme lodge docs not recognize the domain
mndo upon It. The new body Is to be calle <
the Weatern Bohemian Brotherhood.
Now Prague was selected as the place for
holding the first meeting of the grand lodge
but no date was selected. This will be lefi
to the vote of the subordlna'tp lodges. It
was provided , ho-wwer , that the meeting
must occur within one year after the In
stitution of the new body.
It Is believed that the movement has the
support of all lodges la Wisconsin and west
of the Mississippi river. This is the terri
tory that Is to be covered by the seceding
order. Letters have been received fron
lodges not represented In the meeting , of
fering their support. In this territory there
are some ninety lodges , having a total mem
bership of almost 3,000.
Thd secession movement originated in
this city , and spread rapidly. It found par
ticular favor in Texas , where n similar
meeting to the one held in this city has
already been held. This meeting took the
same action as the Omaha gathering , making
exactly thu same demand upon the supreme
lodge. . "TexasuJias BiKalfled a .willingness
to Jolif thof > proposed iicn'J order , but It is
considered by the ) northern states that It
would snot bo advisable to take In-that state
on account of Its higher death rate. There
Is probability , therefore , that Texas will form
a separate Jurisdiction from the rest of the
west If the supremel'lodgo ' docs not answer
the demand. That would mean practically
three orders In the place of the ono now In
existence.
The Bohemian Benevolent society Is one
of the oldest fraternal organizations In ex
istence , having been established forty-three
years ago in the eastern states. It has now
n membership of about 11,000. The head
quarters of the supreme lodge are located In
Cleveland. The next meeting of this 'body
will be held In Detroit In 1899.
Ancle-lit Order of United Workmen.
The general Joint committee which has
In charge the entertainment of tao dele
gates to the state grand lodge meeting in
May has very nearly laid out Its plans. The
principal entertainment will consist of a con
cert that la to bo given by the Mondamln
Choral society on the first evening of the
sessions In Crelghton thcnlcr. The enter
tainments on the other evenings will be
moro or less of an Impromptu character.
All the meetings will bo held in the Crelgh
ton theater.
The local lodges have made up their
minds to show the delegates n good time
this year , to speak In the vernacular. They
set out early to get all their plans for this
purpose In shape and they have about fin
ished the Job. It Is expected that this year's
session will be the most enjoyable that the
members of the order have ever held.
The lodges do not Intend to spare laborer
or money In their aim to have the visitors
go away with most pleasant Impressions of
Omaha's hospitality.
The membership of North Omaha lodge
No. 1B9 has Increased to such n degree that
desired a moro commodious place of meet
ing , and hns , therefore , rented the hall In
the new Odd Fellows' temple , where It will
hercufter meet on Monday evenings nt the
usual hour. An entertainment and eoclnl
gathering will bo given In the near future
the now hall that the members and their
families may enjoy a good tlmo and feel
nt homo In the now qunrtcrs. An Inter
esting progrnm Is being prepared. Jnnuary
of cnch year being the dny of "memorial"
the order , No. 159 commemorated the'
occasion on that evening at HH hall with
an eloquent nddrces from Rev. Jacob Flock , .
nnd all that were present were well pleased
with the exerclees ,
Omaha lodge No. 18 had n pleasurable
time on last Tuesday night. The degree
team of Aksarbon lodge No. 322 conferred

was assisted by 'Musician Huston of No.

mation of the whole etono was Inspiring.
social smoke , with the best of after-
dinner speeches , filled up the time , nnd all
I'epnrnted In the beat offhumor.
LaH Thursday evening the members of
No. 18 attended Uio meeting of Aksarbcn
lodge. Although .Aksarben Is a new lodgo.
with a. membershlp mc tly under 30 years of
ago. its reputation. * < fine drill work Is
well known. In tho-cider.
There has been considerable difficulty brewIng -
Ing between Grand uUoxter Workman Tate
and Anchor ledge Nd-ll0' ' Shelton for some
tlmo past. It culminated last week when
each of the member * ot the ledge was served
with a notice from tho'jyrand recorder , under
seal of the grand lo.lfic' . , that bin ledge had
been suspended by the' grand master work
man for violating thp laws of the grand
ledge and that if ho desired to continue ! his
membership In the order ho should make ap
plication to the grand recorder for a clear
ance card.
This trouble started In the claim of Anchor
ledge that there were Irregularities In the
conducting of the affairs of the order by the
grand master workman and other gra.nd lodge
officers. The climax In the matter was
brought about by the grand master workman ,
who is a mejnber of the Shelton lodge , ask
ing for a clearance card which the ledge re
fused to.Usuo . , charges being preferred
ajolfifit him. I
THe actl&tf ot the grand master workman
suspending the lodgeIs viewed with alarm
some of the member * , while others do
not take the matter seriously. What the
final outcome will be , however , IB a question
that Is puzzllna every ono Interested , but it
the general opinion that It will bo brought .
before the- next eeselou of the grand lodge |
May. Some of the members state that
tao ledge will continue to hold regular meet
ings In spite ot the suspension , but Uio grand
lodge officers will probably refuse to give any
recognition.
A movement has already been * tnrted to
petition the grand lodge for n chnrtor fern
n new ledge to bo Instituted , nnd If the pe
tition la granted the new lodge will probably
be organized within a few weeks.

encampment of the army , the meeting of the
Woman's Relief corps and the meeting of the
