A. O.. U. W.
Tho Grand Lodge Will be IN Ses-
sion Here To-day.

At 10 O'Clock last night the large office
of the Inter Ocean hotel would have been
an excellent field for an adept pickpocket.
Thieves of this class are credited with
ability to glide through a dense crowd
with agility approaching the f~ieetness of
the space annihilatlng antelope. The
spacious Office was OVERLOOKING with a tide
of well dressed, solid looking, good ma
tured gentlemen who have come from one
state and three territories to attend the
Grand Lodge A. o. U. w. which con-
venes here at noon to-day. The delegates
represent the order in Nevada, Idaho,
