quested to be present as we'll as the
members of sister lodges.
The special work in the interests of
the Knights of the Maccabees which
has been in progress for the two weeks
last past has resulted in a very ma
terial increase Of membership. This
work is not confined to Utah, but is
being extended to every one of the in
termountain political subdivisions
making up this jurisdiction. Salt Lake
City is doing we'll in this line, so is
Ogden, as at the latter place a con-
certed course of work viii be pushed
during the present week and perhaps
during the present month. The sir
knights of ogden viii arrange for q
public installation Of officers at the
first review of that tent in January.
Their election on last Friday night re-
suited in eleyating a number of worthy
members to positions of honor and
responsibility in the order Among
those elected Were Sir Knight o. e.
Kennedy, TO be commander, and Sir
Knight G. e. Knoth, to be the record
keeper. The other official positions are
believed TO be also well and fttingly
filed. This tent has recently received
as members several former members
at Green River, Wyo. who will make
active and earnest workers in the order
in Utah.
At Butte. the state deputy, Sir Knight
Newell, is doing some good work in
the way Of securing new members to
the fiourishing tent at that great camp
Sir Knight E. A. Taylor, who has been
working in conjunction with Mr.
Newell in Montana, viii do some work
at Bozeman, and in the near future, it
is expected, viii accept q state deputy
ship, perhaps that for Idaho.
The sir knights at Beaver City are
actively at work interesting their
friends in the order at that point, and
will soon hold an open meeting or give
a public entertainment to the friends
of the order.
Sir Knight w. J. Kennedy of Utah
Tent No. II, of Milford, reports an early
increase OF membership at that point
and encouragingly predicts an awaken
ing of interests in the order all over
the southern portion of the state.
New applications are coming in from
Nevada, from Idaho, from Wyoming
and from Montana, and the promise is
that this viii be the most active winter
ever passed by the Maccabees of the
interlnountains.
The next regular review of the tent
in Salt Lake is held on next Friday
night at o'clock D. m. in the lower
! large hall of the Odd Fellows temple
I on Market street, to which all visiting
sir knights are cordially invited, and
! all members are earnestly invited to
! be present on account of large num-
Der of candidates to be initiated on
/ that occasion.
Evergreen lodge No. ISL, Fraternal
Union, on last Monday gave @ social
and high five party to its members and
friends. There was a large gathering
all Of whom thoroughly enjoyed them
selves. The committee of ladies who
! had the matter in charge performed
their duties most satisfactorily, thus
| insuring a delightful evening for all
present. The Fraternal master made
q short address of welcome and Incl
dentally spoke on the subject of
/ fraternal insurance, it's necessity and
advantage to the majority of man
kind. At late hour refreshments We're
served. and the guests departed we'll
/ satisfied with the entertainment.
Tonight about 80 applications for
membership will be handed in, COM
posed equally of ladies and gentlemen.
The advantage of having lady mem
bers is shown in the large attendance
at each meeting; their presence adding
materially to the interest and socia-
bility. Deputy Supreme President
Shandal has done a noble work since
returning to our city, and we trust his
labors are appreciated.
