The Woodmen of the World and the
Isflcd clement In Alpha camp seem to
have completely split nnd each Is not prepared -
pared to pursue Its own unruffled way. Each
nays It has no Intention of Interfering with
tlio work of the other In any way , but there
U a prospect that & fight will continue to bo
wapcd by the two bodies. The Woodmen are
Intending1 to strengthen their position In
local flMds. The new Knlghtn of the Forest
have get out to Knln a substantial foothold
In the city and vicinity. In these alms the
two bodlrn may conflict.
: | There was a somewhat unusual attendance
if. . nt the Alpha camp meeting on last Thurnday
night , ns It wan reported that the hody
would consider the question of seceding In
n body. The backer * of the new order say
that they had no Intention of forcing thin
* > question. They awcrt that they do not want
to pursiiadc any one to leave the Woodmen
of the World except by the merlin of the
order they are pushing. Tlio sovereign ofn-
cere of tlio Woodmen , however , apparently
believed that some attempt would he mailo
to ask the camp to cccc'Jo and they came
prepared for the fray. Among other things
they sprung a report ot an Investigating
commlttea from Kansas City camps , which
npont several weeks In going over tbo entire
records of the povcrelgn officers , This re
port was very complimentary to the sovereign
eign body U was published several dajo
ngaTho
The meeting , however , was quite a har
monious one Consul Commander Thompson
nnd Advisor Lieutenant Lucas , two of the
chief pimhcra of the now order , resigned
bccnudo of tlio part th y nro taking In the
now orgai.lzallon. Resolutions of Indoreo-
mcnt , confidence arid commendation were
pasjpd by the camp for the ncrvlctH the men

render the blRRcst part of the program , but
it will be assisted by Krnnz Adclmann , Mlsfl
Myrtle K , Coon nnd Olaf 1'ederaon. The
program will be found in the musical
column.
The price of admission to the concert will
bo reasonable , nnd It Is hoped that there
will be a big attendance. A big crowd of
Klks Is preparing to attend the coming ses
sion In Minneapolis and capture the 189S
meeting. These members will pay their
own expenses , hut money will bo needed In
'Minneapolis ' to engineer the scheme. The
Klks do not desire to beg this money , nnd
therefore hnve offered the concert ns nn
opportunity to Omaha cltUcns to contribute
to the needed fund In a delicate way.
The contcat for memberships Is going on
merrily. About twenty-five candidates have
so far been secured. Five wcro put through
at last Friday night's meeting. The contest
will close on June 19.
of 1'ytlilnn.
The coming Tranamlssls lppl Exposition
has been the means of stirring up the Omaha
lodges of the order with the view of making
arrangements to extend the hand of fra-
tornlty to the many hundreds of visiting
knights and their families during the cxpo-
nltlon ; also to fill a long felt want of having
Btiltnble HOclal quarters to meet In other
than the lodge room. A movement has been
started to organize a 1'ythlan club , similar
to many now In vogue in kindred toclotlcs ,
which have fitted up suitable reception , read
ing and amusement rooms In connection with
their ledge rooms , where the members can In-
vlto visitors nnd on certnln occasions en-
tortnlu the women of their families. The
several 1'ythlan lodges In Omaha are much
Bcattercd over the city , but could they be
brought together tinder the roof of ono I'yth-
Inn cnstlo hall , the same as the Masons , a
better fraternal feeling and a closer iwclal
relationship would no doubt be the result.
Should this consolidation be accomplished the
I'ythlan club would then bo considered na an
auxiliary nnd would receive the undivided
support of all the lodgm. It this cannot
be accomplished It might bo considered bet
ter to locate the club In a building inde
pendent of nny particular lodge. The sub
committees appointed by the different lodges
will incut In Joint committee on Tttesdny
evening , May 25 , In the committee room of
Triune lodge In The I3eo building , when the
subject will bo taken up and thoroughly
discussed.
About 100 Invited guests assembled In the
beautiful hall In Masonic tcmplo at St. 1'nul

Mnra ledge No. 130. Knights of Pythias ,
has for some tlmo past been attracting con
siderable attention In I'ythlan circles , and
the meetings have always been very inter
esting. In order to make them more so
the lodge has adopted n side degree , and
the call which follows Is for next Friday ,
May 7.

Within the next two weeks the membership
of the order In this stole- will be 1,000 , and
will be the result
pcfislbly a little more. This
sult of the glr-tntle hustle for membership
that has been made by the members during
the past six weeks. In that length of time
they have taken In 250 candidates , and will
Initiate at least fifty more.
The purpose of this campaign has been to
secure the 1,000 members that NcbrasHa
must have before It can secure a state grand
council. Moreover , In order to get th.a
grand council th'a ' year this big membership
had to bo obtained before the meeting of the
supreme council , which convenes In Ucston
on May 18. It Is now a settled fact that
the necessary membership will be secured In
time. The Nebraska delegation will consequently
quently come back from the supreme council
meeting with authority to form a grand
council.
Every ledge in the state has assisted In
the work of gaining new members , but the
Omaha and South Omaha lodges have been
specially vigorous. As a result their mem
bership rolls have been mightily augmented.
The campaign will nlso result In the forma
tion of a new subordinate council. The
state Is yet a few members shy of the re
quired 1.000. As the needed candidates can
no lonircr be taken Into existing councils
and turned Into full Hedged members before
the supreme council meeting , thry will be
admitted Into the new body. The charter
will bo kept open to the last minute.
As soon as the authority Is given by the
supreme council , steps will be taken nt
onrp to organize and institute the state
grand council. This body will have limited
leglblatlvo nnd other powprs , like the grand
ledge of other sc-cret society bodies. In the
pa t the Nebraska members have been gov
erned entirely by the supreme council and
officers. The organization and the flrot
meeting of the state body will be held In this
city.

lish coins. 'Lcnngh took sonic ot the watches
to a jeweler , who declared that they had bacli
In the vault at least two > eais , nnd most
likely longer. The watches are all of cheap
manufacture , most of them being In sliver
caaas , two , however , nro gold-plated cases.
The vault has not been cleaned since 1S'J4.
The local police nro unable to throw nny
light on the find , but possibly some clew to
the robbery may come about through the
foreign coins found In the sick. Gnrbaga
Master Lenagli still has possession of the
watches and coins.
Sunday CliiNliiK
The saloon keepers arc considcribly Inter
ested In the probable action of the council
In the mattcii of closing the saloons on Sun
day. Now that the matter of wlalni ; the
Hcenso to $1.000 Is virtually settled , the
Sunday closing resolution U uppermost In
the minds of those Interested In dispensing
liquors. A great many people are of
opinion that Sunday clcslng would be * a good
thing , and a number of coum-llnu'ii have been
urged to vote for the rcEolu'lon when it
comes up. It the closing was going to coat
the city an additional expense for policemen
a number of cotincllmen would not ote for
It , but It Is thought that no increase In thu
police force will be neccasary It liquor deal

From Catarrh
The sufTcrer front catarrh , perhaps ,
meets with tnoro discouragement in
seeking1 a cure than those afflicted
with all other ailments. After ex
hausting the skill of the best physi
cians , runt inhaling various mixture * .
paying1 out large Hums for doctors
ices nnd medicines , he finds himself
cither as bad off as at first or a great
deal worse.
The cause of this Is easily explained.
The disease is in the blood , and only a
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it. The doctors being-
unable , with their stereotyped rcme-
dlc of potash nnd mercury , to cure
diseases of the blood , direct their
efforts toward treating the symp
toms of the disease , and ignoring its
cause. The inhaling of various sprays ,
and use of washes , etc. , is but n su
perficial and temporary treatment *
and cannot possibly effect a cure.
MRS. JOSUI'IIINK POLIIIT. ! *
Mrs. Josephine Polhill , of Due West ,
S. C. , was for years a sufferer from
this distressing complaint , and has
learned by experience its tortures.
She bays :
"For years I was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that I ever
heard of. I was treated by several
doctors , nnd took numerous mcdicinca
claiming to cure the disease , but in
stead of being bcncfittcd my condi if
tion grew worse steadily.
"The trouble became so deep-seated
that I was entirely deaf in one car.
It is difficult to describe my condition ,
but some idea of the ravages of the
disease can be obtained when I state
that all the inside of my nose , includ
ing part of the bone sloughed off. It
casi be readily understood ho\v offciii
sive nil this was , and how unbearable
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the physi
cian gave me up as incurable , nnd
told me I would never be any belter.
"Reading of many similar cases be
ing cured by S. S. S. , I determined to
try it as a fast resort. 1 soon discov
ered that all my former treatment
had been wrong , as the disease was in
the blood , and only a blood remedy
could cure it. I began to improve at
once , and grew better as I continued
to take S. S. S. It seemed to get at
the seat of the disease , and after a
few weeks' treatment I was entirely
cured , and for more than seven ycara
have had no sign of the disease. "
Catarrh is one of the deep-seated
blood diseases , nnd only a thorough
blood remedy will hnve any effect
upon it. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that is guaranteed
Purely Vegetable
and cures Catarrh , Cancer , Conta
gious Blood Poison , Scrofula , Rheu
matism , Kczema , and all other dis
eases arising from impure blood.
