The differences between the two factions
of the Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks, which have been settled by Judge
Wards decision, are generally attributed by
neutral observers to the ambition of Grand
Secretary Allen .. Myers to run the order
to suit his own views. At the annual meet
ing of the Grand Lodge, held previous to the
one at Atlantic City, the power of holding
the annual meetings was vested in the board
of grand trustees. 1t appears that the orig
inal charter of the order was secured In the
state of New York and that it did not be-
come migratory in its meetings until six or
seven years ago. Several months ago when
the grand trustees decided that the annual
gathering for 1894 should be held at Atlantic
City, Secretary Myers and a few Others
claimed that the order had no right to meet
outside of New York state, despite the fact
that they had Joined in meetings held else
where several times before. The leading
lodges of the order, including the prosperous
one located in this city, determined to fol
low the direction Of the grand trustees
while number of other lodges met at
jamestown, N. V, at the direction of Sec
rotary Myers.
Both bodies were in session at the same
time. and the jamestown gathering secured
an injunction. preventing the Atlantic CITY
from doing business. Judge Wards decision
dissolves this Injunction, and the proceed
ings OF the Atlantic City meeting will stand

The Prohibitionist Executive Committee
Meets

A few members of the county pro-
hibition executive committee held a
meeting in the School Commissioners
office oD Monday. Mr.. Arthur KILLER
presided, aud Mr.. Jno. W. Scott acted
as secretary. The Herald and News
man was present only a part of the
time.
They talked over and discussed the
situation in a general and Informal
way. The opinion seemed to prevail
that the dispensary in 8 modified form
was an Improvement over the barroom
but they wanted first prohibition and,
if that could not be had, then they
would be willing to try the modified
form. They would have to fight the
dispensary in order to get prohibition,
for it is a fact that some who were
at one time probibitionists were now
dispensary advocates, and some would
do this on the fimsy pretext thai some
of the prohibitionists were opposed to
Tillman. Some seemed to think that
rillman would come first and every
thing else Afterwards.
4 oropositiou was made to have pro-
hibition leagues formed in the several
townships in order that an organized
fight might be made, but it was decided
not to organize these leagues just yet.
A motion was adopted to make a
fight for prohibition members of the
Legislature. They wanted men who
were not only theoretical prohibition"
lists but prohibitionists by practice as
well. They do not propose to make
any other test. however, except that
they be men of sterling character.
The committee seemed to be in earn
est and they may yet make the fight
for the Legislature in this county ex-
ceedingly lively o.
But the trouble is going to be that
the question of Tillman or Butler is
going to absorb all others unless we gel
ihe Separate box and then we have a
chance to elect men on their personal
merit.
Another meeting will be held soon
and possibly a county convention.
