IaBelle Conclave No. 21k held their
semi monthly meeting on Wednesday
evening and a large crowd was pres
emit and much enthusiasm manifested
One victim traversed the billoWy and
uncertain route without fatal results
and this fact is the cause of unlimited
satisfaction to all those engaged in the
exercises, including the candidate.
Sufficient racket was manufactured to
bring out large proportion of the
population with anxious faces and
other traces of unmistakeable alarm,
and evident bewilderment, but the
dance went on. A new play (Ritual)
is now being written for the conciave,
which promises to be acceptable and
which, if so, will be produced on all
occasions of initiation The Yellow
Gang take a very prominent and strik-
ing part and unknown chapters Of their
brilliant career are resurrected from OBJ
security and brought out in bold relief
with the aid of candle lights and other
stereoptican effects. No motheaten
speeches or customs are hereafter to be
tolerated, and all strains will be OF
brief duration, guaranteed to be Nom
productive of heart pulsation and back
ward hesitation. One thing Mogullians
hate to take is lunch and with the
knowledge of this fact APPARENT, the
Master Mogul led the gang to Brother
Jake Steurnagel's cafe, where an ele-
CANT spread was disposed OF without
debate. No mule was ever known to
hesitate to eat, and they ate nine or
ten, some of them.
The next seltce will be pulled off
on the 18th inst, and in connection
banquet follows. 1t is unnecessary to
say that large crowd is expected.
