while at the formers one application
for membership was received and sew
eral topics of lodge interest discussed.
The members of Jordan lodge were an-
and visited Utah lodge in
body and then the new captain of the
degree staff, Grand Secretary w. j.
Moore, took possession of the house and
appointed the following as the princi-
pal officers of the staff for initistory
work: N. G., John T. Buckle; V. G.,
J.. B. Moore; p. G., Alfred Isom; c., G.
G. Buckle; W., G. ]. Higson; J. G.,
John Haynes. Preliminary drill was
then in order and some new marches
introduced by Brother Moore seemed to
receive unqualified approval.
OF late Friday nights seem to be the
most important of the week. Salt Lake
lodge No. 2 playing first fiddle among
the band of the city's lodges. Last
Friday was no exception to the rule,
and some envy Secretary McGillivray's
work in writing up what will be MEM
orable minutes in the years to come.
Some old members of the lodge are
seeking reinstatement and some knotty
problems will probably have to be
probed, SO the noble grand appointed
what will be a noteworthy committee
to solve them. Two or three applica-
tons for membership were received,
NO doubtless endeavoring to make
record for new members during the
present term. Their newly elected no
BILE grand and vice grand, Brothers Ira
j. Strayer and j. G. Sugden. were in
Quoted into Office, D. D. G. NJ. John H.
Latey, assisted by P. G. NJ. e. D. Hoge
and P. g. B. Jennens, acting grand
marshal and grand warden, officiating
at the ceremony.
Then the members of Fidelity lodge
came in singly, which broke another
record, and served to while away sew
eral minutes of valuable time in re-
ceiving them at the door. No. 2 had
a member in waiting to receive the
second degree, and the staff of the
two lodges, after comforting the same
elected P. G.. J. c.. Smith of No. II
their captain in place of P. G. w. S.
Giesy of No. 2, resigned. Fidelity lodge
No. IL had held previous to the visit
alton, an interesting session, and had
listened to many good stories and hap
penings of both lodge and lodge mem
bers during the lodges life.
REBEKAH ODD FELLOWSHIP.
Two lodges of Rebekahs in one week,
two or three committee meetings, in
which the ladies are interested, a con-
templated movement for the institut-
ing of an assembly, to do full justice
to all of which requires much care and
plenty of space, would lead one to
think that the daughters of Rebekah
need a journal of their own.
Miriam Rebekah lodge No. had a
capital meeting on Saturday night, a
great many visitors from Nos. / and s
being present. Five candidates for ad-
mission were initiated, the degree staff
being in charge of Brother Watrous
placing the scenes before the candi-
dates in a commendable manner. Sew
eral communications were received
from absent sisters, that from Mrs j.
M. Dimmitt being commented upon,
While an official letter from the grand
sire was read by Sister McGillivray
and created some discussion. Invita-
tons were received from several socie-
ties to attend encampments.
Ester lodge No. had so many visi-
tors on Tuesday night they found their
| hall filled to repletion. 1t was purely
a business and social session, the re-
cetving of applications being deferred
till after the degree staff has become
proficient, it only just having been or
! gained with Sister Lizzie Ripple as
the captain. Sister Hanchett was ap-
pointed to the library committee and
Sisters Ripple, Hanchett and DIR. Lu-
ella P. Miles elected as trustees. The
work of the new lodge was transacted
/ in very credftable manner. and the
| officers filled their stations to the, en-
/ tire satisfaction of those who placed
them there.

/ of Naomi Rebekah lodge No I prompt
