ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM
The ( sixth biennial fieudon of the Grant
lodge of Nebraska , Anrhnl Order ot Unltei
Workmen , wtilth xvas held 111 Ihld city las
week , was a record breaYer In point of 1m
liortanco and Intercut. The natural resul
was that the session was very warm a
timed , and It therefore laeled much tongei
than was anticipated. The prearranged schcd
ulo provided for an adjournment on Tliura
day afternoon. The delegates counted them
ecl\cs lucky that with two night session
they managed to gut away with the end o
the week.
The sen-Ion was remarkably xvcll attended
There xvero fully f > 00 delegates on hand am
these were accompanied by as many men
feminine relatives and fellow incmbetrt of tin
order. The flguro 1,000 Is a coiiservallvi
estimate of the number of strangers xvhi
\voro tailed to the city by the meetings. Un
fortunatel > Iho press of business was ao grca
that Iho local member * ware not allowed tin
llmo necessary for extended entertainment.
Jlowoxer , tlio vteltors wcro not allowed ti
Iisvo nny of their leisure time burden them
On Tueiday evening they xvoro the BUieli
at ono of the musical uxctits of thu season
the concert at Crclghtoti theater The Mo
RUlllaiM furnished them with a "bully ROOC
tlmo" by conferring the'.r sldo degree upoi
a selected number. It was Intended to glv <
thg delegates a reception also In the Com
merclal club parlors , bin this hail to be dc
clarcd off for want of time. The women wcr
not permitted to go without care , either. Oi
Thurslay afternoon they were the guests a
an Informal reception , < tt which the hosli
wern about 100 members from Iho Degree o
Honor lodges of the city.
The Hesslons were exceedingly lively Thcr
wcro threi ) matters that aroused cxtraordl
nary lulorost. Ono wns thu hearing 01
npural O [ the Talc caae. Another XVBH th
election of olllccrs. And finally there - nora
a number of very Important proposed change
In the constllullou and by-laxvs. The Tat
cano and Iho locations took an entire da :
each.
Grand Master Workman Tate secured i
clean bill by a unanlmoNs vole on all th
charges preferred against him , and ho xva
fully upheld Iti every onu of his alleged II
legal acts. Thin xvas taken after a most ful
and complete hearing , In which all the evl
denco that could bo brought to bear wa
presented. This vindication had been con
ildently predicted by bU friends.
The elections wcro decidedly warm. Th
contest oxer the olllco of grand master work
man xvas particularly hard fought. Thor
were eleven candidates and six ballotH wer
required before a result waa rcac'icd. Tlier
was a light also * over some of the other oillcc :
The final result xva na follows
M. 12 Shult ? ot IJcatrlco , grand mastc
workman ; H. I1. H. Millar of Lincoln , gran
foreman , II. M. Stockwell of Clearxxntei
grand overseer ; George II. H.irber of Gran
Inland , grand recorder ; P. J Morgan c
rinUsmoutli , grand receiver ; J. II. Moore
lioad of Kails City , grand guide ; J. I ) . Draj
ton of Hassctt , grand watchman , Jacob Jat
kulck of South Omaha and Jacob Wooster c
Hastings , grand trustees. J. S. Johnston , on
\ of the foi iner trustees , holds over.
As Indicated abovu there were a consldei
able number ot Important amcmlmentu t
the constitution adopted. Hardly one , lion
over , went through without coiiRlileiablo dc
bate and dl.scus.ilon. It was duo to this , I
great measuie , that the session xxas prc
longed beyoniMlio usual length of time.
Ono of tl > o most Important of the change
was In connection with the financial inanagi
incut of the order. This In thu past has bee
in the hands ot a nuance committee , or
pointed. This committee xvaB entirely dlf
penned xvlt'i and In1 place of It uns mibstlti
ted a board of control consisting of tli
grand trustees , who arc bonded In connei
tlon with tills mention might be made <
thu fact thai the grand lodge authorized tli
employment of an expert to goover tli
locurds of the gipnd lodge olllclala durln
the laot four years.
Another light was made on the attempt t
change the ulllco of grand medical examine
from an appointive to an elective posltloi
On this a compromise xvns made. The moi
leal examiner x/111 In the future be selectc
by a board consisting of the grand masti
workman the grand foreman and the thn
grand tiustcei.
The body also took some action regardln
Itself. In the first place , It xvlll hercafK
bo less cumbersome. It Is to bo compose
of only ono rcpresentatlxo from each subo
dluato ledge In the state , but each of thei
V rcpresentatixvs will bo entitled to cast tl
full vote to vLI'-h his subordinate ledge
entitled on the present basis of represent ;
tlon. The number of delegates xvlll thus 1
decreased 200.
An amendment WR also passed giving tl
Kiand ledge poxver of putting Into effe

"Wo hnvc numerous inquiries In ro-

generally admit that it is incurable.
Wo make no boast of what S. S. S. will

GENTLEMEN : "Will you kindly mail
me your book on blood poison , skin
diseases and cancer ? My mother , 70
to 75 years of age , has a cancer in the
rectum. Two of our beat doctors here
hiive given her up. and Bay the sooner
she dies the better for herbelf , and if
she lives long she- will die in agony.
While I do not know that they are
wrong in their opinions , I am not sat
isfied with them , and believe your
8. S. 8. , if it does not euro her , \\ill at
least relieve her so she will die peace
fully. I got her started on your
8. S. 8. yesterday , and what I want of
your book is points as to bathing or
injecting. Will bo pleased to Lear

GKNTI.KMEN : When I wrote yon
the latter part of December , my
mother was , according to the honest
belief of Uireo physicians , on her
deathbed ; the could not retain cither
food or mudioino on her stomach , and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there waa anything but death to ro-
licvo her. The doctors informed us
eho had n cancer in I.'io lower bowel
and there- was no cure for Her. She
allowed such vitality for a person to
be so near death we thought thorn
must bo something to help her , and
reading of others being saved by the
uge of your S. 8. D. , wo thought it
would do no harm. If not name goqd ,
to try it , so wo informed her of her
condition , just as the doctors had in
formed us , and left it with her to try
your remedy or not , as she saw fit.
tihe concluded to try it and from the
flrst dose or two , eho began to brighten
up , and Improve ; she can now get up ,
dress and help herself , and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
no distress from it. Wo all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will puss away
in due time by the use of your 8. 8. 8. ,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this loiter us public as you
choose , and the more BO the bettor , na
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.
Youra truly ,
