With the work Of the committee on
credentials and the reports OF the presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer, nearly
the entire afternoon was consumed and
very little else was attempted The
usual temporary committees were APP
pointed and some of the most important
ones took up their work at once.
A message of greeting was sent by
wire to Archbishop Ireland
WEDNESDAYS SESSION.
The reports OF State Chief Ranger
Egan and State Secretary Stenger
presented showed most nattcring i'm
provement in the condition of the order
in every way but particularly in the in
crease OF membership. IT was shown
that whereas there were Is months age
but 80 courts in the jurisdiction Of Min
nesota, with a total membership of H.
700, there are now 80 courts with Il total
of 1920 members. These figures were
received with great enthusiasm.
State Treasurer Belangcr reported
that the receipts from the two scmi-an-
nual assessments levied to meet the run
ming expenses of the state court were
$500. and the expenses. including the
bills for the last convention, Il little over
S 900. leaving more than $1,000 balance
in the treasury. This amount will be
sufficient to pay all the expenses OF the
present convention and still leave a
small balance.
All expenses Of a state convention arc
borne by the state organizations includ-
ing the mileage and per diem allowance
OF delegates, the LEGAL lodges mourning
no expense whatever These claims are
all passed upon by the financial COM
mittee.
The session was very brief and the
principal business was the report of the
finance committee approving the treas
urer's report as given above. In the af-
ternoon The delegates went in a body to
the prison at 3 o'clock.
At 1870 Wednesday evening the con-
vention reasscmblcd and put in several
hours of hard work in acting upon the
reports OF committees and revising the
constitution and bylaws. Very few
changes were made. there were no griev-
ances brought before the body, and the
past year being such a prosperous one
for the order and the utmost harmony
prevailing throughout the Jurisdiction
there remained but little more to do
than to elect the officers and select q
place for holding the next convention.
The latter question was decided at the
