On Friday evening Of last week divis-
ion No. 4, this. city, elected officers, as
follows: President. John L. Gleason;
vice president, M. P. Walls; recording
secretary, John j. Doran; financial Sec
rotary, James .McConville; treasurer,
John Meagher; insurance secretary,
Peter Mitchell; sergeant-at-arrns, Henry
Grogan; sentinel, Thomas Devery;
standing committee: William Hickey,
Chas. B. Hoy, James Griffin, Daniel
Shores, Michael McNulty. The officers
elect will be publicly. installed Jan. Is.
The election passed off pleasantly. The
balloting was interspersed with. songs by
H. F. Breen, M. J. Fleming and Joseph
N1cDermott~ The election of officers al
ways brings out a large number Of nom
inal members who are not in evidence
at the regular meetings during the year
They attend the annual meeting be-
cause they are notified. and thereafter
they are conspicuous for their absence.
Our conception OF society work is that
the active members who come to the
meetings in sunshine and in storm
should elect the officers, because the ac-
tive, practical members keep the society
alive, and an undesirable officer is an in
Fiction on the faithful members of any
Organization.
. .s' 81 :. ~ ,
We are pleased to be able to state
that our new officers are desirable, and
we hope No. 4 will keep up its reputa-
ton of having officers of intelligence. It
will be noticed that Bro. P. Flaherty has
surrendered the division purse to Bro
Meagher. For three years Bro. Flaherty
has served No. 4 as treasurer, and his
stewardship has been a faithful one:
Every dollar that passed through his
hands has been accounted for, and! his
quarterly reports we're models Of neat
ness and accuracy. 4Sae ,s.,
We have occasion to again chronicle
the fact that the members of No. 4 are
doing their duty to the state The latest
is a brand new girl at the home of Bro
Walls. s:+e,
Brothers J. H. Benson and NJ. ]. Flem-
ing, who were. absent all summer, being
engaged at track laying in the Canadian
Northwest, have returned to the city,
and Bro. John Reilly, who passed the
summer in Dakota, is home again. We
like to meet brothers who have been alb
sent for months, and when we meet,
therei should be mutual expression Of
delight at meeting one another after an
enforced separation. s1. ,s s 5sj

merry Christmas, will close my last

The gossip about Congressman Ding

to pay his respects to the president

he adopted this courye for the purpose
OF dfsarming those who would say, II
he called upon Nick inley that, he did
80 for the purpose OF bringing 70 the
attention ofsthe president-sle his avail

learned today on the highest authority
that Speaker Reed was governed BY no
such instincts of caution. He did not
call upon Mckinley because he does not
like. him, is unfriendly to him, and was
not willing to play the part Of a hypo-.
critic. Speaker Reed is q man who has
never been able 70 appear friendly to his
political opponents and &c has been one

F ROsEMoNT, Minimize first card
party given by the Ladies' Auxiliary Of
"A. O. H, Division No. 2, of Dakota coun-
'ty, was held in their new hall at Rose
mount on the evening Of Dec. 4, and was

couples who attended, and the admission
Zee was fifty cents a couple. Miss Annie
Hyland, having the highest humber of
points, was awarded the ladies' first
prize, a beautiful Japanese China tea set.

first prize, a very handsome silk neck
muller; and Miss Lizzie McDonottgh,
having the lowest number of points, was
awarded the ladies BOBBY prize, a paper
knife and book mark; James Carroll,
having the lowest number of points, re-
ceived a rubber ball. Refreshments were
served in the hall by the ladies in a most
tasteful and satisfactory manner. Sing

much pleased and satisfied that they had

Brothers, you have plenty 81 talent; the
only thing IL to draw it out This can
be done il the officers will back up their
Literary Committee ina Arm determina-
Etion not to accept any excuses. Before
calling on member the Literary Com
mittee should be sure that such member
can perform the duty assigned him, and
this done, no excuse should be accepted,
because II you excuse one man you may
be sure you will have plenty Of excuses
offered. The great rank and file OF
our members become tired OF going to
meeting after meeting and listening to
the same routine Of business gone
through with. and hear nothing Of a lit.
erary nature. have ottentimes seen
members ask to be excused just before
the order Of Good and Welfare was an
nounoed, but upon hearing that order
announced by the president, they would
take their seat and remain to see IL the
Literary Committee had anything to Of.
IF. If they had, they would remain I'M
til the close Of the meeting, and f&the
program was good one, you would al
ways see them at the next meeting. If
there are any who do not believe the lit.

tendance just let them try it for few
meetings and watch the result.
Before closing desire to make men
tion of the coming reunion. The COM
mittee having the matter In charge held
q meeting on last Friday evening and
made some Of the arrangements. The
date was fixed for Wednesday evening,
Jan. 20, and the place of meeting will be
Harmonic Hall. The committee has de-
cided to issue invitations and furnish
each member of the order with two,
which they may give to their friends.
In all cases they should be given to
prospective members. What is wanted
is to get those who are eligible to mem
bership in our noble order at this meet
ing, where aims and objects will be ex-
planned This done, we are In a fair way
to take them into our ranks, where they
rightfully belong: The admission will
be free to those who present an invita-
ton at the door. The entertainment
Will be one of the finest ever seen in
Minneapolis, barring none. The speak
ers will be the ablest' in the Northwest,
and the musical program will be the best
that money and brains can procure.
Every Hibernian must interest himself
in this matter, and make It, an occasion
which we can look back to with, pride, in
years to come, when we shall have been
relegated to the rear, and younger and

TEXARKANA VS.. SHREVEPORT.
A Discussion as to Which City Leads
in Manufacturing Enterprises.

Yesterday the city editor heard
a couple of boys discussing the rel
ative merits of Texarkana and
Shreveport. The Texarkana boy
leads of:
I'VE have an oil mill here.
"Yes, said the Shreveport boy,
eve have a stave factory to offset
that.
TeXarkana boy-"We have a
canal here.
Shreveport boy-"Well, we have
big river ten times larger than
your old canal"
Texarkana boy-"Yes, but we
have two mayors, with half dozen
on the side who can talk"
Shreveport boy-"I don't care a
cent, we have one who can think,
and silence is golden, you know"
The Shreveport boy was batting
all the Te exarkana boys banters
away out field, until finally the Tex
arkana boy said:
"We have steam bakery here,
run by Kline, that can turn out
more pies, cakes, jumbles and
bread in ten minutes than your
town can eat up in week, and l
bet you this marble and top string
you have nothing like it, or that can
approach it. "
The Shreveport boy got up, said
something about being afraid he
would get left, and lett the Texar-
kama boy holding down the curb
stone.
If you want bread, or anything
baked in an oven, get Kline's anti
miCrobe loaves, kneaded by ma
chinery and cooked by steam.
