Goodwill and George Armstrong. This old charter still hangs upon the walls of the lodge room and is the oldest docu ment of its character in the state. The Omaha lodge was instituted Friday night, February 1, 1256, in the first territorial capitol building, which was located on the west side of Ninth street, between Farnam and Douglas, south side of the alley. The lodge was instituted and the officers were installed by Jeremiah P. Cassidy, spe cial deputy grand sire, assisted by Milton Rogers, J. D. Test, M. W. Robinson, John A.

The com mittee of the board has reported against' the -proposition. Byron Hastings,; J. II. Duniont, and Fred Creigh composed the ebmmittec. They pointed Oilt that owing to scarcity of labor and high wages, it' would be inadvisable .-tooattembt this. . . They recommend, however, that in dividuals -begin raising graces on any acre or half acfe tracts, or eVn on citv lots, as much as possible; as this will get them interested hv gr,ape culture, and will interest others. "Grapes should be- planted jn every back yard," the report read. : "A grape arbor in the back yard would be not only profitable, but beaUtitul Fort Crook has about everything good and wholesome that goes to make an, army. It has men in charge of each department which has to do with the velfare of the soldiers. Ladies and Gentlemen: Colonel Douglas Settle, officer commanding! He is the author of a program to conserve to-the mental, moral and physical energy of his men. Lieutenant MCNaiiy, cnapiain oi tne 41st infantry! He conducts a regimental service each Sunday morning in the post gym- nasium and the theme ot his excellent work is a close study of "The Man hood of. Christ." Secretaries: . Howard L. Ankeny, physical director; Everett Bollinger, building secretary; Linn A. Tripp, re ligious and educational director, and John S. Taylor, general camp secre tary! They are the army ioung Mens Christian- association. Their full co- ooeration with, the military permits them to enter very closely into the soldier's life." Lieutenant McReynohJs, athletic of ficer! To him belongs credit for countless pleasant evenings. Fights, you know not real angry ones, but the kind in which men match their physical skill against each other. In short, the colonel's program is this: Monday evenings there are lugs-of-war, boxing, basket ball, etc. "And, say," enthused one soldier, as he stood on his hands, dropped down to his shoulders and fell over quite abruptly, "we've got some 'comers' here. Watch us! Fort Crook's on the map and we'll make folks sit up and take no tice!" Then there are concerts, lectures and good movie shows. Ward Bur gess, Dean Fordyce of the Univer sity of Nebraska, Dr. Morrison, Chi cago, and other men who are worth listening to have spoken to the sol diers. Of course, all this is educational, but it is not enough so. The soldiers have to study real things out of real books under the eagle eyes of real professors Monsieur Verrctt, L. E. Detring, Commercial High school; Prof. L. H. Henderson and tcafhers from the faculty of Bellevue college. There is the conversational French course, regular business courses, mathematics, trigonometry for engi neering purposes, algebra, arithmetic and a coinse in psychology.

She avers Tiedtke and she were married November 14, 1917, and left Omaha- to visit relatives in Stan ton, Neb. Tiedtke got off at Wisner to fix up a house he had there for his new wife. There he met Clara Schultx, an old flame, Mrs. Tiedtke alleges, whom he married Novem ber 16. Mrs. Tiedtke filed a charge of bigamy against him in Omaha Jan uary 24, 1918, to which he pleaded guilty in police court. Oh, yes the ladies! Edith Tobitt and Miss Bowen of the Omaha public library are seeing to it that the boys get ail of the text books and fiction matter they can devour. And do they appreciate it? "M-m-m-ml' said the soldier of gymnastic aspirations. "Mark Twain's a rough old soul and Ste venson gets cocky with a fellow's imagination once in a while, hut, at that, they're pretty good pals on a lonesome night." v Hastings & Northwestern , , R. R.
