Royal Arcanum.
Fidelity council No. 1856 Royal Arcanum,
had session OF special interest last Friday
evening. There were goodly number Of
visitors from Omaha. One OF the most en-
ioyable features of the evening was the ad-
dress of j. NJ. Ourser, the orator of the or
der. He showed much skill in weaving in
the names of the several officers, accompa-
nying them by some puns which brought
down the house. In closing Brother Oursler
improved the opportunity OF helping along
the Chautauqua assembly in which he is in
terested and OF which he is secretary. He
goes into nothing unless enthusiastically, as
, indicated by his closing remarks. $50 let
us firmly gird on the whole armor OF virtue,
mercy and charity, and exercise these vr-
tues TO all men, Having done this let us
with one accord speak highly, and never
cease speaking of the Council Bluffs and
Omaha Chautauqua assembly, whose opening
session will DC held in Council Bluffs, June
Is, and continue until July 5, 1889"
