SECRET
SOCIETIES.

o. F, order, There has been business
all along the lines of fraternity and the
halls have borne evidence that many
underlying movements for the welfare
of the community of Odd Fellows are
being thought of and discussed.
number of committees are working for
the common good, and those who have
not become acquainted with such class
OF labors, have but a faint conception
of the amount of time consumed. and
the earnest discussions that are had in
such gatherings before plans are de-
veioped Cor carrying along the mission
assigned them. All members of lodges
should constantly attend the meetings
of their own lodges and visit others as
opportunity occurs; there is always
something to learn in a body of Odd
Fellows.
LODGE NEWS.
On Wednesday last Enterprise lodge,
No. Is, had an excellent session. The
degree Of Truth was conferred on two

The hall of Mystic lodge, No, %, was
we'll filed last Monday night, when a
number OF brothers were advanced to
the third degree. The members or

to the interests of their lodges, in all
things that pertain to its welfare. To-
night there will be no regular work.

REBEKAH ODD FELLOWSHIP.
The ladies of the degree were out in
force on Saturday evening at Naomi
Rebelah lodge, No. l, for work at the
polls, and the tellers were kept busy
counting the votes. 1t was a pleasant
election, the favored ones receiving
either a unanimous vote or large ma
joqities.
Several ladies sent in applications
for membership and the lodge will close
ats term with q, good record.

complaining of the livery stable on the
east of the temple: now they have an
other trouble on the west side-the
dancing pavilion. Those sweet strains
OF music do not blend well with lodge
work and committees are being APP
pointed TO investigate what cam be done
to stop ii.
Brother Crawford, of Lincoln, Ne
braska, was a, guest of Naomi and ia
vored the ladies with a nice speech.
Ester Reoekah lodge, No. S, will have
a line literary and musical entertain
ment tomorrow night All members of
the degree are invited.
A few of the back numbers are
still opposing the admission to Rebekah
lodges of young women who are not re-
lated TO Odd Fellows. Strange to say
IN a majority of cases those who OPP
pose the new law are brothers who
know little and care less about the Re-
bekah part of Odd Fellowship There
may be those who honestly believe the
new law is a detriment to the order
but they undoubtedly have not given
their Rebekah lodges a chance to test
the value of young womanhood in
lodge. As general rule these brothers
not only viii not be convinced. but they
say they will nor change their minds
anyway Notwithstanding. we predict
they will shortly seq the folly of oppos-
ing law which is securing to the Re-
takah lodge some Of the very best TALENT
in the coaGltry-lady teachers in the pub
lie and private schools. In Missouri a
lady music teacher Joined the Rebekah
lodge-under the new lawn order that
she might teach music to the children
at the Odd Fellows Home, free of
charge. In st. Paul a young lady-not
related to an Odd Fellow-gave as her
reason for Joining that she wished to

saw in OUT order the NEST systematic
method of doing ii. Another young
lady. a teacher in the public schools
not fifty miles from Minneapolis. gave
as her reason for Joining a Rebekah
lodge that she had learned that the
ladies' branch Of Odd Fellowship was
part and parcel of the order. and she
saw in such union an opportunity for
more extended and better work for hu-
fnanity, with the grand lodge sustain
ing the Rebekah lodges. than any in
which she had held membership or of
which she had any knowledge But
why ella borate? The new law" has
come to stay. and STAY it will. The
f'rcofers'' at it had better repent before
