GRAND LODGE X. OF p.
Election of Officers, Ball and Banquet
at Carbon.

Special Dispatch to the Leader.
CARBON, Wyo., Sept. l9.-The session
of the Grand Lodge K. of P. of Wyo-
ming closed here tonight with a ball and
banquet at the Scranton house. The
meeting has been a success with good at
tendance. The Buffalo, johnson county,
lodge alone failed to send a representative.
This is excusable, however, on account of
the remoteness of that place from a rail
way. To-day the following officers were
chosen to serve during the ensuing year:
Grand chancellor-Otto Gramm, Lar
mic City.
Grand vice chanceller-David G..
Thomas. Rock Springs.
Grand prclate-Wm. G. Moss, Evan
ston.
Grand keeper of records and seal
Frank Fl. Clark, Cheyenne, reelected.
Grand master of exchequer-John G.
Truland, Rock Springs, reelected.
Grand master at arms-Fred P. Shan
non, Carbon.
Grand inner guard-Geo. L. Durbin,
Cheyenne.
Grand outer guard-H. F. Errett,
Rawlins.
Past grand chancellor-G. c. Randall,
Carbon.
The next session of the grand lodge
will be held at Evanston.

A o
a Canine that Endeavors 10 Reform
Its Misguided Master.

~ Sdhlhe tnat E~ndeavors 10 Reform
Its Misguided Master.
They say hat the dog is mans best
friend. The maxim has held good for
ages, and numerous instances of the
brute's devotion to his master can be
cited, but the writer makes bold to de-
clare that he is the first to record a case
where a dog advises his owner to change
his political views.
Lewis, the saddler, who has clothed
thousands of bronchos since his advent
In this burg, and whose confidence in the
future of Silver Crown is exceeded ONLY
by the frmness of his belief that victory
will perch on the banners of the G. O. P.
this coming snow, owns the canine that
figures in this narrative.
Lewis had trained the animal to carry
packages. and thought its education
about completed when it rushed to Lin
tons news stand on the arrival of the
train every evening and returned with a
copy OF that rabid Republican rag. the
st Louis Globe-D Democrat.
Monday the dog came bounding into
Linton place and without paying his
respects to the proprietor reared to the
counter and lay jaws on three copies
OF the Sunday Chicago Times, that indie
pendent and patriotic journal which so
torcibly breaches Democratic doctrines to
the unenlighteneG 0linoisans
Lewis was engaged in a tariff discussion
with some Democratic friends when the
dog returned. He eagerly opened one
OF the papers, hoping therein to find ar.
Euments with which to annihilate the uu-
believing. He o discovered the dogs
mistake aud stoutly AYERS that Linton
took advantage of his messenger s inability
to read. On the other hand his Demo.
cratic friends insist hat the incident is a
straight tip to come in out of the wet be-
tore it is everlastingly too late.
