since tue return OF 1aSb CUh nduuer NlC-
tor White OF Mount Calvary commandery,
No. /. from Denver where he went to Sc
cure quarters for his commandery at the tri-
ennial Templar conclave, to DO held at Den
yer August 9-i6, interest in the coming sill
YER anniversary of the order is rapidly
crystalizing. Mr.. White, after canvassing
the silver city, finally secured forty-fold
rooms on the second floor OF the Matty burn
ing at Seventeenth and Glenarm streets a
handsome structure, which Will be the head
quarters OF the Mount Calvary commandery.
1t is only block from the magnificent
Brown palace hotel, which will DO the head
quarters Tor all the state communicates and
a block from the Masonic temple.
The best rate Mr. White could
secure was 81 per day. with
two in room. When 1t is remembered that
the leading hotels are charging s5, 90 and 81
per day the ARRANGEMENTS made are consid-
ored very satisfactory.
Yesterday Mr. White said to the editor of
this department in answer to question,
mount Calvary believe will be represented
by 100 swords at Denver In August and 1t Is
quite safe 10 say that there will be fifty
ladies accompanying the party. Omaha
ought to have 500 citizens present at Denver
during the conclave and believe that num-
ber will be reached. Denver is putting her
best foot forward for this conclave and as
| the railroad rates are very low thousands
| will make the pilgrimage to the Silver city.
| We believe that the location secured for
| the Sir knights of Mount Calvary
| Is the best to be had anywhere
| as tits n the central part of Denver, within
q block of the Nebraska headquarters
| feature of Nebraska's representation
| at the couclave will be the building to be
erected on the lot adjoining Mrs. Taoor's
house, for the exclusive benefit of the Ne
| braskaus. We are better and more comfort
ably provided for than any of our sister com
manderes in the state and Sir Knights
should at the earliest moment possible
| answer the questions which will soon be
proprunded to them by the committee Of ar
rangements, Judge Anderson, w. Il. Bower
and myself"
