yesterday afternoon at the New theater.
The program was most elaborate but none
the less Impressive and the muslo was a
beautiful feature of, the exercises. The
stage was appropriately draped as were
the boxes and other portions of the bouse.
Immense clusters of white chrysanthemums
graced the stage. The audience entirely
filled the lower part of the theater.
Since Council Bluffs No. LSI was Instituted
December 27, 199, It has lost fourteen

their memory that the members assembled

Tho eulogy was delivered by Postmaster
A. S. Hazelton. He said In part:
Today this house - Is converted Into a

ence all temporal distinctions for the mo
ment are forgotten, as well as the ques
tions of absorbing Interest which agitate
the public mind, and in the presence of
these memories this solemn utterance alone
arrests our attention. Once more are we
reminded that the messenger''wlth Impartial
hand knocks at all doors; he enters with
equal freedom the homes of the humble
and the palace of the rich; and so today.

of the hour, veil their faces and eternal
tilings alone seem worthy ot supreme re
gaid. In the lengthening roll of our departed
brothers are the nimiea of those whose
lives are crowned with years and honors.
There are those too, to whom the summons
oame In the meridian of life In the
strength and vigor of manhood. Our best
tribute to them will be to emulate their
virtues, to endeavor, under the inspira
tion of this hour, to learn tho lessons which
will be of value to us still remaining. Man
Is a social being, easily Influenced an'd his
character moulded and formed by hfs
associates and surroundings. Among the
most potent of these Influences are the
fraternal organizations and at the head
stands the Benevolent and Protective Order

Address by Rev. T. J. Macksy. '
Rev. T. J. Mackay of Omaha delivered
the memorial address. He snld in part:
In one of the Islands of the Aegean aea.
In the midst of ancient poplars, many cen
turies ago, stood an altar dedicated to
friendship. From far and near, came men
and women, young and old, to plight their
vows of fealty and cement their friend
ship by an offering on the altar. At first
a pure friendship was offured, the lnoense
of. which was most grateful to the goddestt.
Soon, however, tho altur was surrounded
by shallow and mercenary worshipers, to
whom friendship meant a union of self
iniereei, or a union 01 nocues, noi ot soul.
At length two Ryracusnns, Damon and
Pythias, came and prostrated themselves
before the goddess, who accepted their
homage and .said: "I will do more; I
abandon a place too long disgraced by
sacrillces that dishonor me, and I hence
forth have no other asylum than your
hearts and the hearts of -true and loyal
friends the 'wide world over."
As Elks we have transferred from the
ancient grove In the Aegean the altar de
serted by the goddess; for friendship, pure
and true, is one of tho underlying princi
ples of our order. To protect a brother
from defamation, to be a true and loyal
friend at all times, and especially In the
hour of need and In the dav of sorrow
i Is the distinguishing mark of the true Elk.
lor inendstiip. while occasionally found
among tho wearers of purple and fine linen,
Is a gift more frequently possessed by
thoso of humble life.
I To us the word "friendshlpp" should
i mean what It really Is. It comes from
j an old Sanskrit root, meaning "to love."
i It js too holy an attribute to be profaned
by applying It lightly and Indiscriminately
I to Intimacies formed in the whirl of so-
ciety and often the creation of a passing
fancy. As love Is the holiest passion of
1 tho soul, friendship Is the holy of holies
i of love, for in It passion Is extracted and
I It thus becomes Immortal and equal to
I the love of the holy angels In heaven. It
I Is In proof of this love that we are hero
today. Though one by one the friends
I whom we recall have been summoned by
name, no response has come, and yet in
! trembling hope and fond expectancy we
come to renew our solemn vows of frlend-
aulp with those who have passed out of
.our mortal sight.

pulpit.
A clergyman is expected to preach good
sermons, and when he finds his Intellectual
faculties have grown so sluggish that he
cannot properly prepare himself. It may be
readily seen that the temptations to use a
stimulating drug to overcome this Inertia
and quicken his powers might prove fairly
Irresistible.
The time came to him when he realized
his dangerous condition. It must bo serious
for a religious teacher to drift into such a
state; be states that about that time he
went through the Postum factories at Bat
tle Creek and saw how Postum Coffee Is
made and when he went home he deter
mined to make the struggle for freedom.
He found It easy to rid himself of the
coffee habit at once, for Postum gave him
the hot delicious beverage he wanted tor
breakfast and no drug, but rather the
strong rebuilding food elements. Thereupon
his natural sleep returned, the paths In
head disappeared and the old lethargy left
and he says the growth In his "vigor and
strength has been most remarkable." A
true and happy return to natural conditions
and perfect health. It's worth while. Name
given by postum Co.. Battle Creek. Mich.
There's a reason. Read the little book,

Want Hew Charter.
Business men of Des Moines are In cor
respondence with members of the state
legislature relative to securing for this city
at the coming session a special charter to
enable It to adoptthe commission Idea of
government, such as In use tn Galveston,
Tex. The city campaign here has already
opened and the bare possibility of a spe
cial charter being granted has caused com
motion among tho city politicians. The
law may be passed, and, being deemed of
special Importance, might be made the law
of the land before the city election next
spring. In that event political lines In the
city would be so changed that any previous
arrangements for the campaign would be
demolished. For that reason politicians are
In a quandary which way to turn.
Want Cnmp Ground Abolished
Three colonels of the National Guard have
Joined Inspector General Prime tn recom
mending that the permanent camp grounds
in this city be abolished and that the
Guard return to the old custom ot camping
in a different city each year. Adjutant
General Thrift and Colonel Lincoln are the
only ones. who hold but for retaining the
permanent camping, grounds. . General
Thrift advocates abolishing the Inspection
by the inspector general and bellves that
the best results are, , to be had. from the
inspection by the' rcTilor army officer de
tailed to Iowa. He hag been digging through
the former reports and finds that when
General Prime was adjutant general Prime
advocated Inspections by a regular army
officer, and. Colonel Lincoln, who was then
Inspector general, objected to it. Now
Prime Is Inspector general and Is opposed
to having the Inspections by a regular
army officer, desiring to make them him
self, while Colonel Lincoln la now In favor
of Inspection by an army officer. In his
argument for inspections by a regular army
officer General Thrift will produce- these
reports.
May Issne Bulletin.
'John C. Simpson, secretary of the Iowa
Department of .Agriculture, Is planning tO
Issue a monthly bulletin from the de
partment. Mr. Simpson believes that few
people In the state are appreciating the
educational advantages of the state fair.
These advantages are being given the
greatest amount of thought by Secretary
Simpson, who argues that the 180,000 people
in attendance at the state fair one week
Is the equivalent of the attendance of
1,000 students at the state college thirty
six weeks. To further advertise these ad
vantages he proposes to Issue a bulletin
so as to regularly reach the people of tho
state with the work the' department Is doing.

the penitentiary for the murder of Homer
Holland, an athletic student of Drake uni
versity, and who on being committed to

going insane and he was taken to tho j
hospital of the penitentiary. He has now ,
stood several years of solitary confinement

Dr. M. C. Macklln has resigned his posi
tion as Inspector of private and county
asylums where Insane are kept to accept j
