temple with the cement of hrotherly
love, and dedicate it to Faith, Hope
and Charity. He spoke of the great
and good influence that Masonry has
had on the civilized world for centuries
and will continue to hold. Tho society
OF Masons, he said, presents to tho
world brotherhood which has not
only withstood tue test OF thousand
years, but OF varied races and national
tiles with adverse creeds, and has
strengthened its ties and increased its
membership, against the attacks that
have been made upon 1t, and is to-day
stronger than at any other time in its
eventful history, and therefore deserves
TO live and prosper. Three things, he
said, develop true manhood, Right,
Courage and Charity.
IIe spoke OF the organization OF the
earliest lodge in Ohio county, Ohio
lodge No. 16l, which was born on Janu-
AIRY 8, 1915, in Wheeling. From this
standpoint no dwelt on the great growth
OF the order in West Virginia, and on
the great moral help the order is to the
people.
Mr.. Atkinson's address, for that is
what it really was, was listened to with
the closest attention and at the conclu-
sion he was the recipient Of great ap-
plause and congratulations.
After this the afternoon was devoted

mon can but stop and do it reverence.
1t is the SYNONYM Of true brotherhood
truth in its centre, and from it radiate
all those virtues which adorn true man
hood, inspiring faith in God, hope in
Immortality and charity to all. 1t has
lived through the centuries and ages.
In the days OF the prophets OF the olden
time it lived. II lived before the cap
tives sat down by the rivers OF Babylon
and wept when they hungtheir harps on
on the willows, saying, How shall We
sing the Lords song in strange landr
The wisest man was its Grand
Master. John, whose day We
commemorate, OF whom the pro-
phet spake, as Of the voice oil
ono crying in tho wilderness, was its
patron, and 90, too, vas John the beloved
the prophet of Patmos. Thrones have
been shattered; empires have dccayed;
republics have lived and died; wars
have sweptover thelandsas with thevory
bosom Of destruction, but still it lives,
proud monument OF its own Inherent
strength. This temple will decay.
Many silver cord will be lOosened;
many a golden bowl will be broken;

The conclusion Of the grand masters

After the ceremonies at the Masonic
temple the procession reformed and
marched to the site OF tho new Simpson
NJ. L. church, on Eotf street north OF
Twelfth, where the corne rstone OF that
structure was laid with the exercises
laid down in the Masonic ritual. I'm
dor the cornerstone were a Bible and
hymn book, the discipline of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, copy Of the
proceedings OF the NJ. w. Grand Lodge
Of A. +. & a. NJ. Of the state of West
Virginia for 1892, a copy Of the pro-
Ceediugs OF the, Grand Lodge OF Free
and Accepted Masons OF the state, (col-
ored, an old coin Of 1858, copy Of the
Free american advocate, and anumber OF
miscellaneous coins that were contribu-
ted by members and friends.
Prof. J. McH. Jones then made brief
but eloquent speech, followed by an
other by Rev. Dr. Riker, pastor of the
Fourth street NJ. Z. church. DR.. Riker
spoke OF tho connection between the
Masons and ministers Of the GOSPEL for
years, and said that the splendid cath
edrals and houses OF worship that reared
thoir heads to the sl5y in every land
were monuments to tho noble union of
the church and of masonry. 1t was
therefore prominently fitting that q
people who were about to build house
for the worship OF Almighty God should
have its corner stone laid by repre-.
sentatives Of the great builders craft.
In olden days the preachers went
through the land gathering. money for
churches, which they left in the hands
OF the Ntasohs for the construction Of
houses of worship; and tho noble craft
OF masonry still upheld its duties in this
regard.
Chaplain Swope pronounced the ben.
ediction, after collection had Ibeen
taken up, and tho brief services over,
the procession moved to the Elm Grove
station.

THERE is more Catarrh in this section
Of tho country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed TO DO incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nouncod it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, aud by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
mont, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney &
Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a

was too small, and then, as have said,
began the practice OF cauonizing or ele-
waiting to saintship some of chose whose
zeal for the church and whose pious
deeds DISTINGUISHED them above their
fellows. Not long after, each Of the
several trades and professions chose as
their special patron and advocate some
one OF those saints who while in life
had pursued their particular vocation.
Thus Saint Crispin, or Crispinus, who
had been shoemaker, became the pa
tron saint Of that trade, and from hav-
ing mended the coles OF his customers
while in lifo was deemed worthy Of car
ing for his fellow craftsmen in the spir-
itual world. St Dunstan, who had been
a blacksmith, became the patron saint
OF the workers in iron, and st. John the
Baptist, from his having been member
OF the mystical sect or order
OF the Essences, was styled the patron
saint OF the Freemasons. There is
tradition that the lawyers, unable
under this rule 10 3nd any Of their own
craft sufficiently distinguished in holt
ness TO be cannonizcd as a saint, We're
compelled to accept the patronage
OF the devil himself, who has been their
patron and counsellor ever since; Of
course do not vouCh for the truth Of
this tradition. Saint John the evange-
list is not spoken Of as a patron saint Of
the Masonic fraternity until some time
in tho sixteenth century. But for eight
centres at least the society, known un-
der different names in different countries
and at different times, but now called

THE ANCIENT EssENEs.

The substance Of nearly all that is
known concerning their rules and cere-
monies I find in an interesting essay
upon the history OF the lost world
which is appended to Forts recent ad-
mirable work on the early history and
antiquities OF Freemasonry.
It is stated that in every city where
they had society there was pesident
by whom all their affairs werc regu-
lated. When any one desired initiation
he was admitted on probation for a
year, receiving on his entrance a white
apron or girdle and q small pick
axe. At the end OF this probation,
if he had given satisfaction, no was
advanced TO higher degree, but
still was not admitted to their
private meetings. In this second
stage, he continued for two years
longer, and, il then thought worthy,
was raised to full membership. We
have here but bare outline of the
rules and tennets Of the Essences, but
meagre as it is, it presents points Of re-
semblanco to the Freemasonry Of the
present time, which no initiate Gun fail
to recognize. am strongly inclined to
the opinion that the Essences in Judah
at least were the Freemasons Of that
early day.
There is abundant tradition that
StJohu the Baptist was a member Of
this silent and mysterious fraternity
that he dweltin seclusion with them for
some time before entering upon his
public ministry, and is it not possible
that the ''leathern girdle." which is

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

The regular monthly meeting of the
school board was held last night and
considerable business was transacted.
The salary of Janitor of the West
Mankato building was raised from
1925 to $3.50.
The committee on school property
and expense was instructed to see the
proper city authorities regarding the
outbuildings at the Union aud Pleas
ant Grove buildings. The board has
no money on hand to make sewer con
nections and it desires to wait a year
until it can raise the necessary 81, 900
by tax levy.
The same committee was authoriZ-
ed to purchase furniture for the fifth
grade room of the West Mankato
building.
The following judges of election
were appointed, to act at the annual
election July 18th:
First precinct-Q. Leonard, John D.
Duane, H. Hillesheim.
Second precinct-W. J. Love, David
Carpenter, Joshua Burgess.
Third precinct-J. T. Williams, A.
M. Smith, A. B. Smith.
Fourth precinct-Geo. w. Mead, 0.
G. Olson, James Dougherty.
WV. P. Mcconnell, L. G. M. Flet-
cher and H. P. Christensen were ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
sites for school building to be erect
ed on Agency Hill, and to obtain
prices and options with the view to
the erection of building next year.
The board voted to receive $500
from the state High school board for
the coming three years. This sum
has been received during the past
three years. In order to secure this
money it is necessary to follow a
prescribed course of study laid down
by the state board.

WIDRICK'S WIDOWS.

Clark B. Widrick recently died at
Jackson, leaving property valued at
$4,000. He was living with a woman
supposed to be his wife, and the lat
ter laid claim to her widows share of
the property. Mrs. Phoebe Widrick,
who lives on South Front street in
this city, claims that she is the legal
widow of the deceased and has retain
ed Pfau & Young to assist her in es-
tablishing and maintaining errights
She states that she and Widrick
parted four years ago and that he
never obtained divorce from her, con-
sequently Mrs. Widrick No. was not
his wife. She has gone to Jackson,
accompanied by Mr.. Pau, to demand
her one-third of the estate. 1t will
devolve upon Mrs. Widrick No. 2 to
prove that Widrick was legally
divorced from Mrs. Widrick No. J..
If this cannot be done, then the Man
kato lady will secure her share of the
property.

SHOULD STAND LIKE A ROCK.

There is no question but what Pres
ident Cleveland was induced to call
congress together at least a month
earlier than he had intended be-
cause of the pressure which was
brought to bear upon him by the
friends of honest money While the
calling of congress together thus early
is point in their favor, the good
work which has been going on should
not be allowed to drop. The victory
for honest money is not yet wholly
won, and it will not be until bill for
the unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man silver purchase law, or so much
of it as requires the purchase of a
stated amount Of silver per month,
has passed both houses of congress. A
great many who were little weak
upon the question have been strength
ened by the results of the past few
few weeks, and the work that has
been done, but the advantage gain
ed may be lost unless the work that
has secured the present results is con-
tinued. The ST. Paul Pioneer Press
emphasizes this fact as follows:
The danger now is that the men
who have done this excellent work
may think that their duty is finished
and return to their daily affairs, leav-
ing the financial question to work it.
n Iii ryuh hn h
already exhibited of their opinion and
desire will be sufficient to procure che
necessary action. The truth is that
they cannot afford to cease their la
bOrS for moment between this time
and The date when congress assem-
bleS. There can be no doubt that in
calling an extra session the president
was purSuaded that congress was
ready to take such action as the best
interests of the country require. What
we know is that portion of the mem
bers have seen the error of their ways
and ready to join with the supporters
of SOUND finance. But no one knows
how far these converts can be relied
on to sustain sound monetary poll.
cy, and there is no absolute assurance
that members will be proof against
the Establishments and brides of the
silver miners unless still more mis-
siOnary work is done. 1t is to that
that the people should now address
themselves who labored so earnestly
and successfully for an extra session.
Every scheme possible will be work
ed by the silverites in order to pre-
vent the repeal of the silver purchase
law, unless that repeal is coupled
with financial legislation that is of a
more vicious and dangerous nature in
the shape of free coinage of the white
metal. 1t is said that the silver ad-
vOcates will raise an immense sum to
be used to lobby in their interest, and
work and expense will not be spared
by them in their effort to carry the
day. In view of all this the friends
