The Omaha divisions and representations
left this city with the full intention of work
ing from the first to have the supreme
lodge of 1890 held in this city. They will
spend all their energies in that direction, and
they feel that with the proper support from
the citizens of Omaha the next council can
be obtained for this city.
Ending the Season..
The last meeting of this season before the
summer vacation of lodge 80, b. p. o. Elks
was to have been held Thursday night, but
owing to the fact that no delegate had been
elected during the regular meetings to rep
resent this order at the meeting of the grand
lodge in New York City, Thursday July 3, it
was voted to hold one more meeting for the
purpose of selecting II delegate TO represent
the Omaha lodge at the grand lodge meeting.
This meeting will be held in the lodge rooms
next Thursday night and it is hoped that a
large attendance of the members may be
present to assist in selecting the representa-
tive.
