the 18th OF next June and will be under
the auspices oil Calumet Tent. Although
the date is far away the members OF the
tent are already talking OF the coming
event and making preparations for the
proper entert ainment OF the very large
number OF Maccabees who will be their
guests on that occasion. The plans for
the celebration are still in embryo, but
Calumet Tent is determined that the day
will be one long to be remembered by
those who attend.
There will be big parade OF all the
lodges OF the county and the number OF
men that will be in line will run into the
thousands. for the Maccabees have
greatly increased in numbers here within
the past few years. experimenting after
the parade will also be arranged and
some sort OF entertainment for the visit
ors after that is also to be planned.
The committees having the work in
charge will probably be appointed at a
meeting OF the tent to be held in the near
future 80 that things may be started
and gotten well under way in time.
The 18th OF next Jane will mark the
18th anniversary OF the organization OF
the first Maccabee tent, and the start oil

preston in that market The resump-

been cited as bull argument, but the
Withdrawals OF gold from London and
Europe have resulted in a renewal OF
stringent money conditions there. This
in turn has weakened the speculative

The ordinance admitting the new

and 1t was generally believed
that the railway question, 50 far
us the council was concerned. was set
tied. 1T has been known, however, for
three weeks that an effort would be
made to secure q reconsideration OF
the vote by which the ordinance was
passed, provided the two colored coun-
ciimen-Mcssrs. Williams and Bry-
ant-could be convinced that it was
their duty to support the movement.
1t is said that all efforts in this di-
reclion have failed and that the
colorch councilmen are firm in their
stand in favor OF the road.
Attention WAS then called to the off
cial scalp of Capts in Foster, and it is
charged that Mr.. Rowe. who is a pop
