This column last Sunday spoke of the
arrangements and preparations that are al.
ready hoing made in anticipation of the
grand lodge session that is TO be held in this
city next June. The committee which has
the matter in charge, consisting of repre-
sentatvos from all the lodges in this city
will meet in the rarlOrs of Omaha lodge
No Is, in the new Odd Fellows temple, at
Fourteenth and Dodge streets. for the pur-
pose Of organizing on next Tuesday night
This session has already created a hustle
not only in this city, but also throughout
the state in the circles of the order. This
is due to the fact that the order has set
before itself the ambition of raising its
membership to 25,000. Tho membership is
at present in the neighborhood of $4,000.
In order TO get the lacking thousands active
work in the field by deputies is to be done
between the present time and the day upon
which the session will be held. The mem
bership finds encouragement to its ambi-
tion from the fact that this state jurisdic-
ton issued but ten assessment calls during
the present year. This is looked upon as
most creditable performance.
In another portion of this column will be
found mention of the steps that were re-
Gently taken by Omaha lodge No IS to
bring the 1898 session of the National Fra
ternal congress to this city The lodges
throughout the city are expected to give
their approval to the move in the near
future.
