St. Paul daily globe., 1889-05-08

Off GERS and
committeeman in attendance, max
ing 200 delegates in all. The
committee on credentials was very slow
in its work, and as result, the new
representatives, composing at least
two-thirds of the lodge, did not all gain
admittance until near 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. Those representatives who
had before attended the grand lodge
were admitted at once, as is customary,
and organized the lodge, so the new
representatives were cOOped up in an
anteroom until their indignation was
quite warm. They organized meeting
on the side, and proceeded to adopt
resolutions in protest. After while,
however, their good humOr asserted
itself, and the harmony prevailed. The
following are the delegates attending:

The afternoon was spent in listening
to reports of officers, that of the grand
recorder being the only one of interest
to the public. He says, concerning the
GROWTH OF THE ORDER:
We have not increased our membership as
in former years, yet the order is in better con-
dition than at any previous session. The
confidence of the people in its honesty and
soundness was never more apparent. The
loyalty OF the membership was never more
death rate at the commencement of
the term weeded out scores of faltering, faint
hearted and distrus tful, leaving the order
stronger for their absence. Owing to SO large
portion of our membership being engaged
in agricultural pursuits, and callings de-
pendent upon the success of agriculture. the
second almost total failure of the crops in
large part of Minnesota and the northern
portion of Dakota, has had depressing influ-
enee upon our work for the entire year. Not
withstanding this fact. there was written in
new certificates in 1888 for Minnesota $50,
and for Dakota $50; total. 1870. From
sofa, $50 and for Dakota, 323; total. 1909
There were in good standing Jan. 1, 1889,
Minnesota, 4,sl7; Dakota, 1925; total,
6,O42. From Jan. l to April l there has
been added to Minnesota 277; Dakota, 81;
total, 36S. Making total membership April
!, 1889, 6.41O.
Eight new lodges established in Minnesota
and seUen in Dakota. There are sixty six
lodges in all. The total receipts from
all sources amounted to S116,725.71, of
which S91, 7Sl went to the beneficiary fund,
and So, 1927 to the general fund. The bal
ance on hand is SIS, ,93424. The average of
