you Altogether, the true, brotheFly,
kindly, loving spirit needs resuscitat-

differences. settle them.
The present week there will occur the
excursion of the Select Knights Of

On the 2zth inst. Star of the West

and a delicious feast Of ice cream and
cakes This auxiliary to the A. o. u

way.

dldate and rednstated another. to the
evident satisfaction Of all present. 1t
| has been often stated that it is better
to labor with and try and retain what
( members we have than to Initiate new
1 ones, for the reason that those who be-
long to the order know of the great
good that is being accomplished;
/ through the medium of social and
/ brotherly communion. The Ancient
! Order of United Workmen has been
tried for nearly 80 years and never yet
found wanting.
The vital principle of fraternity was
! exemplified a this meeting: several
! brothers received assistance who were
not able owing to adverse circum-
stances, to pay their assessments and
dues
The verbal resignation of Brother C.
n. Peterson as oyerseer was received
and accepted. Nominations for the Of

son. Charles T. Harte. and Charles

the first and second ballot, but on the
4 third Brother Harte, our present guide.
was declared duly elected overseer for
the unexDired term. Brother William
/ Mckee, present inside Waterman, was
unanimously elected guide and Brother
I Ed II. Slaughter inside Waterman,

time the efficient recorder, was I'M
animously elected outside Waterman.
The lodge IN now congratulate itself
upon having now good set of officers.
! Remarks were made for the good of
the order by Brother J. S. Clarhson as
past 1nastcr Of California jurisdiction,
Brother Lambert of Helena, Mont, and
Brother PEBBLES of Bountiful lodge.

The entertainment given by the De
gree of Honor last Tuesday evening
was first class in every respect. and the
sisters are to be COMMUNICATED upon
the success Of the social; notably SIS
ters Randolph, who 50 ably presided
Carman, Kelly, Blake, Goddard, ct al.
tWithstanding the torrid atmosphere,
the attendance was large and the Inter
est manifested must have been graft
flying to the large hearted promoters
the sisters.

The heavy assessment for this month
is being caeeFfully paid, the brothers
remembering that the whole sum gUee
to some deserving family who would
be left in need but for the bread win
hers standing in the lodge. No one
can afford to be without protection foT
his family
In this age. when nearly every one q
striving for the mastery over others
it is imperative that the wife and little

this than by the Ancient Order CT Unit

Then there are the fraternal features
of the order. They must not be consid-
cred rs }ast NOR the least. The NAM
beTs are banded together and Cooper
ate for their good. Who can over-esti-

the kind word given to a sick brother
or the sympathy shown the bereaveC
family.
