Next morning, biasing a tree and putting thereon his Initials with his survey marking iron, he blazed northward to a point afterward chosen by Herman KounUe as a slto for his home. Jones finished his work In order, being a surveyor, thus making the first claim in Douglas county. Tester the Indians protested against Jones" claim, and it was then he secured, through his brother Odd Fellow, J. D. Tent, of Council Bluffs, the appointment as postmaster and put up his building. Lodge Boon Follows Jones. Shortly after he arrived In what Is now Omaha Jones began to talk of organizing an Odd Fellows lodge. He needed four be sides himself to apply for a charter, but one of his prospective members left the territory and disappeared, never being heard of afterward. This occasioned delay, and before Jones could drum up a .fifth man holding a regular ' withdrawal card lodge No. 1 was chartered at ' Nebraska City. Not long after the granting of this charter Jones forwarded his aDnlication for a charter in Omaha, bearing the names I of Alfred D. Jonea, Hadley D. Johnson, Ambrose S. Bishop, Tayjbr Q. Goodwill and Qporge Armstrong. The charter of Omaha lodge No. I bears date of November 17. 1866, being the oldest document of Its character In this state. It waa warrant for the establishment In Omaha of the first lodge of this or any other order, and it was the first fraternal lodge Instituted in the state which lived, as Nebraska lodge No. 1 soon dropped and suffer during the period of . w.i a.

On February 1,.' 1855, according to Mr. GreenleaTs finding, the five charter mem bers of Omaha lodge No. . 1 assembled in the old territorial cs.pl tol building, which stood on the wnt side of Ninth street,' be tween Farnam and Douglas streets, Just south of the alley. Dlstrlcy Deputy Grand Sire J. P. Cassldy of Council Bluffs at that time, installed these officers: Noble Grand, Alfred D. Jones; vice grand, Taylor G. Goodwill; recording secretary, Ambrose 8. Bishop; permanent secretary, George Armstrong; treasurer, Hadley D. Johnson. Besides these men there were present C. C. Van Fort from Dea Moines lodge Not 23, Abram , Hecht from Cincinnati, 'Milton Rogers, J. D. Test, M. W. Robinson,' John A. Lafferty, George Dougherty, J. J. Mar tin. J. 8. Hootun and E. R. Robinson. At the third meeting the first new mem ber was Initiated In the person of Hiram C. Anderson, a druggist. He was ap pointed warden of the lodge. At the fifth meeting two ministers were taken in, Rev. William Leach and Rev. J. F. Collins. The one was made chaplain of ' the lodge and the other conductor. June 13, 1856, John Ricks, J. W. Richardson and G. W. Hepburn were admitted by card. D. D. Carr was taken In at the next session, also by card. J Doable Vp 6a Offices.' During quite a period that followed many members ' filled two offices In the lodge and meetings were not very regular. By November i, ISM, Dr. George L. Miller, H. W. Tuttle, John T. Cloppor and J. ; B. Allen had been initiated, and Jeremiah Cassldy, Asa Hunt. John R. Porter and G. W. Crowell ware admitted by card. On that date all the offices in the lodge were filled for the first time. In December, 1868, It was decided to allow the secretary to receive city scrip for dues, as times were hard on account of a panic in the previous September. Oolng 'along easy, the lodge had grown to a membership of thirty-nine by .January, 1868. Then a ball was given, which netted $60.36. The old minutes say this was ona of the great est balls aver given anywhere on earth for real jollity and pure enjoyment. : After m eating for some time in the old capltol building, . the lodge moved Into 'a small wooden building on the site where the police station now stands. From here the meeting place was changed to a house on Dodge street, near Twelfth, occupied by Rev. Mr. Leach, "which, waa so cold water would freesa behind a red hot stove," The modem winter . has improved but slightly, if at all, on the achievements of tunic effects are popular. Among , the cnuion Panamas its early Nebraska . ancestors. The old Western Exchange building, which stood at Twelfth and Farnam Btreets, was the next meeting place, arid during all these moves Alfred D. Jones kept' the records in his home, at Park Wilde, carrying them to and from all meet ings. , Meetings la Armstrong; Home. George Armstrong's residence witnessed the holding of a good many lodge meet ings. . This. house was on podge, just east of Fifteenth. In the next few years the lodge met In the Pioneer block, on Farnam, between Eleventh and Twelfth, and in the third story of a building on Farnam, occu pied by O. H. and J. 8. Collins. The latter location was held until 1E74, when the lodge took up its quarters In the present home, Fourteenth and Dodge. The Townslte com pany gave the lot and the building cost 2T,OO0. "And Jones paid the taxes for many years when the lodge was short of funds." "i Martin Dunham often told a story of holding meetings and initiations by candle light, furnished by Joseph F. Sheeley, and the members holding them aloft. A travel ing brother brought word of a new fangled thing called a chandelier, and the lodge decided to have one right away. So a brother donated an old wagon wheel rim, which was suspended from the celling at the proper height, and the candles were set. about this several Inches apart. This new lighting arrangement was "the wonder of the community, and tne faithful chron icler says "the result was dazzling when all the candles were lighted." Through ail oversight later, the old chandelier was not preserved, as it should have been, "being the pride of the lodge for many months." When the grand "lodge of Nebraska, In dependent Order of Odd Fellows was or-' ga tilled at Nebraska' City, September 27. 1807. but three lodges - were represented, Nob. 1. 2 and 8, 'and the delegates present paid th assusment of $10 each. Jones again paying the fr. ight for Omaha No. 2. The date of the charter of the Nebraska grand lodge Is January . 1858, and on April 27, ,18fi8. It was formally Instituted at Nebraska City by Charles F. Holley, deputy grand sire for Nebraska territory. Besides the three lodges mentioned Bellevue No. 4 and Brownvllle No, i were represented.

September 14, 1868, was the date of the first regular session of the grsnd lodge, held at Omaha In the hall of No. 2, with six lodges represented.' The Civil war shattered most lodges then existing In Nebraska, but No. 2 worried along. One of its members. General John M,-Thayer, commanded the first regiment pf soldiers raised In the territory of Ne braska, and another Odd Fellow, Colonel Robert W. Furnas, of . Brownvllle, No. 6, commanded the second regiment.' Alvln Saunders, governor and United States sena tor, waa also an honored member of Omaha lodge, No. 2, as was General John M. Chlv Ington, U. 8. A., "whose relentless pursuit and severe punishment of the Indians pro voked much unfavorable criticism.'' George Armstrong, long prominent in the lodge, arrived In Omaha in 1854. i He built the first capital building. for the territory, was afterward mayor of Omaha, became a sol dier and served as major of the Second Nebraska cavalry.

The ooncrete was manufactured at the testing plant with various branjs of cement, sand, gravel and stone, obtained from all parts of the' country. To accom plish these tests a number of heavy ma chines have been used, several 200,000 and 300,000 pounds, and one of 600,400 pounln' MAKES KIDNEYS ACT FINE ENDING LAME BACK AND BLADDER MISERY Several d08e8 Will regulate VC-nri"1. ny price, made anywhere else lit , " , , th world, which will effect so thorough OUt-0f:Order Kidneys and make ami prompt a cure a. a flft,-cmt trea you feel fine.
