THE BANQUET.
The dining-room of the Gladstone Q
hotel was appropriately decorated last
night for the banquet given by Colum-
bian lodge of jamestown to the visiting
brothers. Eulblematic colors were seen
in the drapery which hung in festoons
around the electric lighted room, en-
circling the columns and extending from
chandler to chandler. Back of the
toast master the national colors we're
displayed, while potted plants, both
foliage and in bloom, ornamented the
open windows. Representatives, mem
bers OF the local lodge and visitors, num-
bering nearly one hundred, were seated
at three tables, extending the full length
of the dining room. The banquet itself
was fully up to the standard OF excel
lence for which Klaus & Rattinger are
famed.
The vice chancellor commander OF the
local lodge, T. F. Branch, was toast
master, and by his quips and sallies
added zest to the occasion.
Mayor Halstead delivered a short ad.
dress of welcome in behalf OF Columbian
lodge.
Supreme chancellor of the world, w.
W. Blackwell, of Henderson, Ky. was
introduced by the toast master in eu-
loeistic speech which was fully verified
by the remarks 81 that worthy official.
His we'll chosen words, and pleasing ad-
dress captivated bis listeners who were
thoroughly en- rapport before the close of
his Introductory sentences. He spoke
very entertainingly OF the principles
taught by the order, "those grand and
Coz. like attributes which are interviewer
in the ritual" immortal and indestructa-
BILE; principles that will appeal to the
highest intelligence and which if followed
out lead always upward and onward to a
pnrer and better life. Friendship,
charity, benevolence, honesty and purity
the trinity of attributes OF the order we're
always before the Knights reminding
them of the grand end to which all
should attain.
Grand Chancellor, W. NJ. Cochran OF

Vice G. c., G. E. Gregory Of Minot,
who was introduced as a promising
young attorney, made few felicitious
remarks.
Judge G.. S. Roberts stated that he
was here at the institution Of Columbian
lodge and then learned that he was to
speak at this banquet. He gave an ex-
cellent address and was followed by
Banker A. G. Clarke wlo, in measured
rhyme, paid his tribute to the order OF
Pythianism.
Representative Simpson of Dickinson,
alluded to as the e"silver-tonguedo orator. ~
paid the toast master back in the same
coin, and then at the close OF his re-
marks referred to 'the smooth face and
head of Brother Bangs" who was only
waiting for an invitation to speak-which
he did and proved to be the Bill Nye of
the evening. His manner of delivery
and dry remarks called forth hearty ap-
plause at frequent intervals. He paid
the ladies several happy compliments
and closed with appreciative regard for
their assistance in the work of the lodge.
Chancellor NJ. H. ochmitz responded
to "Good Night" and shortly after l
