1T WAS WooDnENS' NIGHT.
A Rousing Meeting--prominent t
Officials Present.

Last nights invitation gathering
NJ Union Hall was a greater sue
cess Than even the most sauguine
had dared hope for. Florence
Camp No. IS. Woodmen of the
World. while young in the years
of its existence, is nevertheless a
strong and vigorous organization,
aud II credit To the growing city
after which it takes it's name. The
Camp now numbers l65 in good
standing, and 1T is confidently be-
lieved that as result of last even
ing will he the addition of score
or more of new members.
The fact that Head Consul +. a.
Falkcnburg OF Denver was to be
present and deliver an address on
the benefits arising from fraternal
union, and especially those offered
through Woodcraft, proved great
and drawing card. The large hall
was we'll filled with gentlemen and
ladies, who listened with the closest
attention to the clear and convinc-
ing statement made by Consul
Falkenburg. The order in Colo
RADIO is about eight years old, yet
today it proudly boasts of a mem
bership in good standing of 1900;
during the eight years ending De
cember |, 1898, death losses to the
amount of S435, 900 had been paid
in Colorado alone. Notwithstand-
ing this large sum paid out not n
single case has ever been taken
into the courts adjudication, and
it is only necessary to establish the
proof of death to Immediately Sc
cure the payment of death loss.
Since the Camps organization here
Sll 600 has been paid to it by the
Head Camp in settlement of death
losses, each policy represented hav-
ing been paid full. For an hour
aud half the speaker poured out
in choice language the beauties of
Woodcraft, closing with stirring
appeal to all present not mem bers
TO become SO without delay.
Mr.. John G. Latshaw of Pueblo,
one of the Head Managers, made
n short talk regarding the early
history of Colorado, and building
up beautiful word picture there
from in the interest of Woodcraft.
His points were well taken and
carried conviction to his hearers.
Mr.. c. +. Campbell entertained
the audience with fine stereopti-
con display, in which every phase
of Woodcraft was depicted.
The Mandolin club rendered sew
eral fine selections: the vocal solos
and quartettes were excellent.
Following this ice cream and
cake were served and social chpt
prevailed, and not until eleven
O'Clock did the well pleased spec
tators begin TO disperse. Florence
Camp is certainly composed OF a
lot of fine entertainers.
