Thu Anniversary Of the Order on OCT. 81
to he Mad. the Occasion
for the Start.

Thursday, Oct. 81, will be the twenty
fourth anniversary of the institution OF ths
Ancient Order of United Workmen by J,
j. Upohurch. at Meadvills, Pa. The oeca'
sion will be made use of by the lodges OF
she order in Montana 60 start q fund for
the erection OF a widows and orphans home.
BY a resolution adopted AZ the last meet
ing of the grand lodge of Montana all the
subordinate lodges in the state were re-
quested to give an entertainment on DOT.
"a, and contribute the proceeds toward the
widows and orphans home fund. The
building of such a home meets with great
favor among the members of the order. 1t
is intended to be a shelter for the widows
and orphans of members. whore they can
so in case they need n home. Besides this
the idea is to have the home also a hos
pItal where members of the order may go
when sick or injured and where it may be
possible for them to srend the remainder
of their days should they inset with an ac-
cident and become permanently disabled.
For this reason it is hoped to locate the
home somewhere near a medicinal spring
and on the line of one of the big railroads.
The ground once secured, the money on
hand will be used to start the building.
which is expected to cost about $5O,N0.
The balance of the money needed will be
raised among the members of the order in
such way that it will mot bear heavily upon
anyone. In this way tho home, 1t is calcu-
lated, can be finished and paid for in about
four years. 1t will be the first place of the
kind gotten up by an order in this state.
At first the idea was suggested of having n
national home for the order. 1t was
thoupht, however. that such an institution
would not be a success. owing to the diff
Guilty of finding a location that would be
central enough for the 800. 900 members,
and the fact that its management could not
be successfully carried on by directors liv-
ing in all parts of the United States and
Canada. So is was determined TO make 1t
q state affair.
The Helena lodges will DO their part
toward raising a fund by an entertainment.
Capital lodge No. 2 and Mount Helena
lodge No. l, Degree of Honor, will give a
grand literary entertainment and ball at
Electric hall in this city on Oct. q. Some
of the best local talent have volunteered
their services and the affair promises to be
a great success. The management of the
affair is in the hands of the following COM
