knights of Pythias.

About ten DAYS ago few of the members
of Nebraska lodge No. learned that Past
Supreme Representative j. S. Shropshire,
formerly of this city, but for the past six
years a resident of Butte, Mont, would
spend the holiday season in Omaha, and the
plan was then conceived of having re-
union of the pioneer members of the lodge
on December 2S Personal invitations were
sent 20 all the past grand chancellor men,
bers of the lodge, and a notice was inserted
in this column in last Sundays paper to
the members in general In anticipation of
pleasant evening proftably spent, the
knights to the number of siXty-ive or
seventy gathered in Myrtle hall on last Mon
day evening.
After a short business session the lodge
closed in due form and a general good time
followed. consisting of cards, coffee, sand
wiches and cigars Colonel Frank T.. Moores
rendered a touchingly pathetic solo enti-
tied, You Shan't Have Any of My Sand
wiches When Your Sandwiches Are Gone
which was received with enthusiasm by the
audience. Past Supreme Representative
Shropshire was then called upon by j. j.
Boucher who officiated as master of cere-
monies. Mr.. Shropshire responded with
remin iscences of the early days of Nebraska
No /, and recalled the seventh anniversary
of the lodge on November 49, 1875, and
touched upon the changes effected since that
time.
Past Grand Chancellor o. S. Wood was
next called upon, and among other things
referred to the fact that twenty-eight years
ago across the street at the southeast cor
ner of Fifteenth and Douglas, Nebraska
lodge No. / was first organized. After Mr.
Wood came Past Grand Chancellor John O.
Goss, who touched upon the early days of
Pythianism in a happy manner. The first
grand chancellor of the state OF Nebraska
David Carter, was unable to be present,
fact much regretted. Among other speakers
of the evening were Past Supreme Repre-
sentative VIII L. Scism, Dr. L. a. Merriam
George A. Magney and Frank Il. Moores
the last named recting one of Tennyson's
lyrics. The hour of II had passed before
the gathering adjourned. and thus closed
one of the most enjoyable occasions, from
a Pythian point of view, ever held In the
city.
Among the visiting knights present We're:
Messrs. John BeXton, j. r. Crane and Brod-
erick of Trlune lodge; A. II. Double and

Modern woodmcn of Amcricn.

Last Wednesday night, at the regular ses-
sion, the members of Omaha camp No. 120
listened to a very warm debate between
]. Il. Van Glider and w -. Cady upon the
question of reserve fund The latter spoke
in favor of the plan and against the very
evident sentiment of the members of the
lodge, who frequently applauded the other
speaker. Colonel Cady, however, is some
thing of speaker himself and he did not
do a thing to his opponent. The judges,
who were all opposed to his side of the
question, nevertheless found that he had
presented the best arguments and therefore
won the debate The judges were l.. b.
Hoyt, Charles Brosius and J. w. HOuder.
The same question will be discussed on
January 49, when DR.. A. W. Clark will favor
! the establishment of The fund and ID. Glen
Deaver will oppose 1t. The lodge does not
take a vote on the question until the latter
part of February.

PASSING ON LIQUOR LICENSES.

Protests In Two Cases Sustained by
the Fire and Police Commission.
The Fire and Police commission met yes
terday afternoon and granted couple of
dozen additional liquor licenses. The first
case beard was the protest against the IL
cense applied for by John Snyder, at 22O6
Military avenue. delegation of Clifton
Hill residents. heads by j. NJ. Gillian, ap-
peared to urge the objections of the property
owners. They declared that the location of
a saloon at that point was Objectionable to
the residents of that locality, and especially
to the members of the Presbyterian church,
which was close to the proposed saloon.
After some consideration the protest was sus-
tained and the board refused to grant the
license.
Dr. w. II. Hanchett, Rev. Robert 7. Do
herty and others appeared to protest against
the issuance of a license to Paul SomerS
to run a saloon at 913 Hickory street. Their
objections were based on the fact that the
saloon was proposed to be located in the
midst of a purely residence district and es-
pecially because II was only a block from
Brownell hall and in such position that it
must be passed and repassed by the young
woman pupils during their hours of eXer-
else. This license was also refused.
The protest against the license Of Charles
Loftmann at 1924 Howard street was not
considered because 1t referred to row be-
tween two parties in regard to the possession
matter that could properly come before the
board. The license was granted. The pro-
test against the application of Frank Sautter
for a license at 1884 South Tenth street was
set for hearing next Tuesday night
The following additional licenses were
granted: Paxton hotel, Fourteenth and
Farnam streets; Mllard hotel, 1920 Douglas

Martha Walters was arragned in police
court yesterday morning on the charge of
disturbing the peace in the vicinity of her
residence at Thirteth and Charles streets.
She was arrested at the instance of a neigh
Dor, a colored woman, Mrs. j. II. Williams.
1t appears that some time ago Mrs. Wal

not to cross her premises. This riled Mrs.
Williams, who Friday stopped son of

The child reported the matter to its mother
