and gambled while in that place and

geist has been slandered.

4 PrOStburger'S GrOiUih III the North.
icest.-The Minneapolis and St. Paul
(Minn.) Muster Mason of a late date
records several notes concerning tho
high standing and advancement of j.
w. Nash, formerly of Frostburg, now
conspicuous business resident of Min
eapolis. The first is as follows:
One of the prominent and deservedly pop
ular MasOns of Minnesota is Eminent Sir j.
w. Nash who has just been elected for the
third time Commander of Zion COmmandery,
X. T., of this city, Sir Nash was made Ma
son at Eddyville, Iowa, in 70. He is Past
High Priest of st. Johns Chapter, this city,
and one of the present officers of the Grand
Commandery of Minnesota. A genial, cour-
teous gentleman and an enthusiastic Mason,
we wish we had more ike him.
Speaking of the annual conclave of
Zion Commandery, No. 2, Knights
Templar, of Minneapolis, the Master
-hason, after giving statistics of growth
continues:
This annual gathering was made especially
memorable by the presentation to Eminent
Sir Nash, on behalf of Zion, an especially
elegant jewel. 1t is unusually large and mas
sive, made in red, black and gold, and heavi-
ly studded with diamonds We hardly re-
member to have seen more beautiful and
costly emblem. The best of all is the Knight
who will hereafter wear it, most richly de.
serves it. Sir Nash has served Zion with great
taithfulness and ability, and though having
already completed two terms, we..e-elected
and now enters upon his third term as Emil
nent Commander.
This body numbers 34l of the elite of
Minneapolis business men, over whom
Mr.. Nash's continued elevation is GER
tainly distinction to be proud Of
