To those who remember the interior ar.
rangement and finish of this building as
completed by the Young Mems Christian
Endeavor association. and who are fortu-
nate enough TO be permitted to enter the
building now, the Transformation scene
presented will be a veritable revelation.
To the original expenditure Of $4,000 by
the Y. NJ. c. A. organization in the cree
ton Of this building in 1880. the Scottish
Rite bodies have added about $1,000 for
interior arrangement Of rooms. decora-
tons and furnishings. since they acquired
the property January 1st last and as now
completed. it is considered by competent
judges who have recently visited the new
temple from abroad to be one Of the pref
test and best equipped buildings devoted
TO the interests Of the Ancient and Ac-
cepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in
this Or any other country.
All that modern ingenuity, skill and
artistic tastes could devise, have been util-
lied in preparing this temple for the pre-
sentation Of the degrees in the most i'm
pressive and perfect manner, and to pro-
vide for the comfort and entertainment
of members and their guests.
The chef d'euvre of the temple. and

ern scenic stage 26x45 feet in size, and a
gorgeous array of scenery and elaborate
system Of electric lighting in colors, spe-
ciaIiy prepared for this room at a cost of
81 500. A balcony, curving with the beau
it'll symmetry of the crescent, extends
around three sides of the room, its face
which. with the artistic advancement Of
globes and lights in the lofty dome above,

The occasion OF the dedication Of the
new temple marks the twenty-irst semi /
annual reunion of the Scottish Rite bod
les in this valley. It being but a brief de-
cade since their organization.
From a very humble beginning ten years
ago the Rite in this valley has grown to
giant stature; with only twelve members
a start was made in one of the upper
rooms Of the Hacker block on East Doug
las avenue, the work presented being nee
essarily very crude. The growth Of the
bodies was steady however, and in Janu-
airy. 1891. having about 100 members, the
Baptist church property was purchased,
the building being fitted up in a manner

DIAZ SHIFTS OFF DERATE

Superintendent Hartman of the Santa
Fe at Ell Paso, on tbs Mexican line. who
was in Wichita yesterday, says that
about two weeks ago President Diaz OF
Mexico issued instructions that any man
found discussing the war between Spain
and the United States should be at once
arrested. Mr. Hartman says we don't
know what war is in Wichita. The Span
iards in Mexico are very violent in their
expressions against this country. and that
was the reason Diaz issued his strict
order.
