and tangible shape. In fact, the matter has
50 far crystallized that in the very near
future a company is to be incorporated whose
primary object viii be the purchase Of the
necessary land and the erection Of the tenn
PIE. The association Is to be called the
| Wocdmen Of the World Building association
and will have as the incorporators seven Of
the best business men Of the city, According
to the articles Of Incorporation. the a%ssocia-
ton will be capitalized at $500, 600, the shares
being so each. 1t is not expected that the
entire amount will be subscribed, but it is
confidently expected that between 5000 900 and
$500. 900 worth Of the stock will be taken.
John G.. Kuhn, who is practically the orig
inator Of the scheme, stated that Ne thought
500, 900 would be subscribed in this city
alone. Another 800, 900 worth OF the stock
is expected to be taken by members of the
order outside of the city. As soon as $780,
900 Is subscribed work will be begun on the
structure and then 1t is believed that the re-
mainder Of the stock required will be sub
scribed readily enough,
The location of the temple is as yet uncer-
tain, Of course. Those back of the scheme.
however, have strings out on several Of the
most prominent corners in the city and one
Of these will be selected. 1t is intended that
the structure shall crown one of the best
locations in the city, whichever may be
taken.
me pan Oh the tempe is also lluelUlle,
although rough plans have already been
drawn. 1t is proposed now that II ehall be a
five-story building, the first story Of brown
stone and the upper stories of pressed brick.
Like The Bee building, 1t will contain a large
court, SO that all the Offices will be we'll
lighted. The building will be t%reproof. The
first story is to be divided into stores. The
two upper ones will be occupied by the or
der, being divided into a couple or more big
lodge rooms and offices for the headquarters.
Tho other two floors will be partitioned of
into offices to be rented.
1t is estimated that the building itself
will cost in the neighborhood of $3.50 900, or
even more if 1t Is found convenient. Another
$3.50. 0OO or so will be put into the ground,
which will consist of a plot 66X132 feet. or as
near that an can be obtained. This VIII
make a total expenditure of 5000, 90 or more
1t is impossible to say just when work will
begin on the building, as a quantity of the
stock will first need to be sold. 1t is in
tended, however, to have the building erected
and ready for occupancy by the time the
Transmississippi exposition is being held III
the city in 1898.
The project. as heretofore stated, origl-
mated with Mr.. Kuhn. who has finally in
duced others to take as enthusiastic a view
of it as he has had himself. He broatched
it over a year ago. when The Bee made
mention of the plan in this column. The
column has touched upon 1t at intervals
since and the announcement that it has at
last assumed something like definite shape
is made with considerable satisfaction.
OF the future entertainments that are to
be given by the local lodges is a smoker
which Alpha camp proposes to give on
Thursday, June 4. Golden Rod grove of the
Woodmen circle will give an entertainment
on the following Thursday. The details for
these affairs have not yet been arranged.
Council camp No. IA of Council Bluhs
will unveil a monument in honor Of one Of
its deceased members in the near future.
The date has not yet been fixed, but it will
be in the neighborhood of June 7.
Among the visitors at the headquarters
during the past week were Clerk C. G. Scott
of Camp No. IS of Des Moines, Ia, and
ex-Clerk w. w. Liebhart of the Falls City
camp.
Sovereign John T.. Yates has accepted an
invitation to deliver an address at the I'M
yelling of a monument over the grave of a
deceased member at Doniphan, in this state,
on Decoration day.
Last night German-American camp gave
an entertainment and ball in Kessler's hall
on South Thirteenth street. Refreshments
were served during the course of the even
ing. The affair was largely attended.
Ancient Order of United Workmen.
The elimination of months of labor In
the ranks of the local Ancient Order Of
United Workmen will be witnessed next
Friday evening at Washington hall, when
the minstrel show to be given by the
Mogullians of conclave No. 17R takes place.
Probably more interest is centered in ms
entertainment than in any public AFFAIR
given by any Of the local lodges heretofore
and the result is sure to be a grand success
The members and their families VIII be
admitted free and the general pubic VIII be
charged but a nominal admittance.
Following will be found the official pro-
gram of the evenings entertainment:
