What Dr. Maglll modestly failed to reveal was disclosed by other speakers, who pointed out that the 1100, 000 donation was -purely the result nt friendship for Dr. Maglll and the con viction of the donor that under Its new management the college was filling a long-felt need not realised by any other Institution. The gift Is an absolute one, the necessary papers being "signed, saled and delivered.' being mad with the understanding that an additional 50, 09Q will be. raised by public subscription in and around Des Moines.

Three years laler he went to Owatonna, Minn., where he remained seven years, after which he took the pas torate of the Oliver Presbyterian church at Minneapolis. After five years In this capacity he came to Den Moines and was pastor of Central Presbyterian church for five years, until the first of last De' cember, when he became associated with Dr. O. 11.

Wanderer, Who Found Its Owner Always Heady With Work to Stake the Visitor. Here's sad news for a generation of Missouri river printers; Lew Ruber is going to retire from business. For more than a quarter of a century Lew ruber's print shop has been a fa miliar place to the prtnterman. Hither his wandering feet have turned as turn the pious of islam toward Mecca; hero he came, sure of welcome and a chance to get In a day. And now the little Job hop that has been a haven of succor to hundred of the old-time wanderers among the followers of the typographic att Is to pass Into other hands. Lew Raber reels the, need of a rest. And that's funny, too, for he has only worked nt the business a little over fifty-two years. This doesn t take out the time ho spent In toting a musket for Uncle Sam during the war. Low was a boy in liar r(sburg, Pi., when Lincoln's call came. He heard It as he went down to the print ing office In the. morning to take down, the shutters and get tha place ready for the men to iro to work. It came to him as clear that he forgot nil about' h$' office and went to war, whore he did his duty to the flag, and came back' ready to set type for a living again. His years in Omaha have been fairly prosperous, and he doesn t at all relish the idea of giving over the active life of a Job printer, but his shoulders tell him he has borno the burden long enough. So he has sold his plant to F. I, Sanford of Arkansas and L. J. Cooper of Lincoln, and retires to a fruit farm In Arkansas, where he hopes to get a little of the com fort he has dented himself during a long life. The new firm will take charge of the Raber plant during the coming week. An evidence of the esteem in which Mr. Haber Is held by the printers of Omaha Is found In the fact that he la the only proprietor member of the union ever elected delegate to the convention of the International Typographical union. With close to GOO delegates and visitor In attendance, the' Scottish Itlte Masons of Nebraska are holding their annual re union at the Masonic temple, the ses sions to continue until Saturday, when they will close with a banquet, at which James Illchardson of Washington, D. C, will bo the principal orator. Mr. Richard son Is sovereign grand commander of the southern jurisdiction of the Scottish ltlto Masons. He will remain in the city until Sunday. Mr. Richardson arrived In Omaha Thursday night and was one of the early morning visitors at the temple, where he met a large number of the Omaha mem bers of the Scottish Rite, besides numer ous delegates from out In tho state. After introductions he was taken for an automobile ride about the city, returning in time for lunch. During the afternoon hu attended the,Bet8lons and was present when the degrees were conferred upon the candidates. Next Tuesday the Masonic grand lodge of Nebraska will convene at tho temple for a three-day session. Three hundred and fifty delegates und as many mora visitors are expected from out In the state. Veteran Free Masons,. Tuesday noon the Nebraska .Veteran Free Masons' association will convene. with Robert E. French of Kearney pro siding. A large attendance Is axpeiteil, To be a member of tho nssoetasJon a man must have been a Mason In good standing or some Nebraska lodger for at least twenty-one years from date of Initiation. The object of the association Is as fol lows; To give greater weight and force to Free Masonry by the assemblage Into pne body of all those who, through a long lapao of years, have stood faithful, to far as human weaknesses permit, to the principles of the institution from which time that tries all things has eliminated In a measure all who have attached themselves to It from Idle curi osity, political ambition or from some mercenary motive, In whoso hearts the seed of Masonry has fallen on stony ground and Who have not continued with us because they were never truly of us; to cherish and dofend the ancient landmarks of the fraternity against mod ern Innovations and that laxity of disci pline which hns accompanied Its In creased popularity; to cultivate more in timate friendly relations among Free Masons who, though united in the ob jects of a common brotherhood, have been kept apart by remoteness of domi cile and Masonio membership; to encour age the younger brethren to persevere In the straight path of rectitude and vir tue and to prove to them that the pos session of Masonio degrees, however nign, win never be admitted by genuine "Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons" aa the equivalent of faith, hope and char ity, or an atonement for a. neglect or total disregard of the most solemn vows; to cheer and encourage the old to remain faithful to the end; to pay to the mem ory of tho faithful dead the due and appropriate meed of resDect and sym pathy, and to show by our discriminating action in sucn matters mat we ao not, as Masons, under mistaken views of charity, accord one treatment alike to all, whether their lives have been for good or evil. Commerce Students Hold Memorial t)ay Exercises Thursday A Memorial day program was given at Commerce High school Thursday after noon, and In spite of the extreme heat the program was well attended and greatly appreciated. The program opened with the "Star- Spangled Banner," sung by the entire student Dooy, The next number was a vocal solo by Arthur Nielsen, accom panied by Miss Margaret Roebllng.

Clifford, accompanied by Miss Alice Hello Hoskln. Mr. Jonathan Edwards, a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, delivered a Memort.il day speech, and was presented with a handsome: bouquet. Miss Grove, vocal Instructor at Amity college, Iowa, also recited "My Ships," by KUa Wheeler Wilcox, and "UUl Smith," and the exer cises closed with "America," sung by the assembled body, led by L. E. Glfford. Several hundred pupils attended the exercises, and comfort was to a great extent maintained by the use of electrlo fane, which were Installed for the occasion, The "Know Omaha" classes of Com merce school again made their usual weekly excursion, under tho supervision of L, E.
