between several candidates, but every
thing passed very smoothly. Mrs.
Blewett OF jamestown becomes now q
past grand office. of the D. of H., q
position which she has filled with great
credit to herself and the city, and is sue
ceeded by Mrs. Phelps of Mont
rose, S. D. The latter, cult
vated lady and good parliamentarian,
has very pleasing address. She is
enthusiastic in the work OF the order
and has received merited promotion for
efficient services. Mrs. Minnie Gilbert

duties of this officer are numerous, and
it was deemed best to retain this salts

elected grand outside watch, and al
though the duties are lnconsiderable this
is the stepping stone to more important
positions.

clsl organ Of the two orders and Editor
Sessions unanimously retained.

man was increased from $3.50 to $500 per

present jurisdiction into two, the one to
comprise North Dakota the other South
Dakota. This decision will be submitted
