P. J. McCormack opened the program with
bluff.. .playing handsomely on the piano
"Old Black Joe," and Qellenbeck'a orches
tra followed In kind with "Old Kentucky
Home." But no one took these very seri
ously. Judge a. W. Bhlelda and hla historical
researches constituted the aetioua portion
f the program. He aald In part:
The Omaha lodge Is looked at from all
over Elkdom aa one of the moat Important.
Since Its organisation It has taken no un
important part in the aovernment of the
grand lodge. The Influence of Omaha Elks
had a good deal of effect In making tha
grand lodge Itinerant in its yearly reunions.
More recently In the Jamextown-Atlantic
City fight which bid fair to break the Elks
In two and wee the greatast contention
which has ever ripen, No. 39 took such a
prominent part that the settlement was
made by what Is known as the "Omaha
Idea." Omaha alwaya got the honor of
the controlling part In this most Important
fight of Elks. This lodge Is twenty-six
In the.' numerical list. Its members are
' leaders In all branches and while we have
faults and while we have made mltke,
with such- members we cannot fall to
progress and cannot fall to be a force for
good In the community.
Judge Shields said that the true anni
versary of. the lodge was February 7. Tom
Keene, the noted actor, while In Omaha or
ganised a committee to see what could be
, dona In forming a lodge. At that time
there were only thirty-eight lodges, all In
tha east,' numbering largely actors . and
newspaper men, and nothing was known of
It her. ' A lodge was formed In January,
im, and in February a delegation from
the Chicago lodge Installed No. 89. The
dispensation from tlie grand lodge, how
ever. Was not granted until Deoember 12.
The twenty charter members were: John
Francis Dwlght J. Hull, H. W. Hyde,
H. U Hall, J. W. Oarneau, E C. Whitman,
W. C. Gregory, A. 8. Davenport, Alfred
Borensotl. Thomas Boyd, I. W. Miner, F.

Cott, B. F. .Woodbridge, W. N. Babcock
and C. C. Hulett Of these only I. W.
Miner, Thomaa F. Boyd, Alfred Borenson
and A. B. Davenport are now connected
with the lodge.
The judge gmve some Interesting details
of the Elk's club, which had such fine
quarters In the Continental block, and
ended 17.000 in debt after receiving loins
of U.S0O from the lodge, bringing tbe Elks
Into disrepute and nearly wrecking the
wage.
. The Elks' quartet, composed of T. B.
Swift, C. R. Miller, E. C. McCormack and
C, P. Morlarty, sang sweetly, and C. R.
Miller, Jo Barton and Thomaa B. Collins
sang appreciated solos. Jack Buchanan

of the "In the Web" company, recently
disbanded In Bait Lake City, happened to
strike Omaha on his walk to Mew Tork
at Just the right time and entertained the
Elka well. Norman I' Baker, pitcher of
the Omaha league team In 1891, who la soon
to go ,on tha Orpheum circuit, was . much
applauded for his songs, both as an old
friend and as an entertainer. Frank Dun

Irving atul the Irish monkey, and othera
to hearty applause, and soveral ' rounds

that of a team belonging to an express
