TO PREVENT MEEKss CONFIRMATION.
FRIENDS OF MAJOR c II. SMITH WILL WORK TO


Before Captain William F. Meeks, formerly OF
the list Regiment y. G. " Y. but recently ap-
pointed by President Mckinley q captain in the
United States Volunteers and assigned to the
18th Infantry, gets chance TO fight the enemies Of
his country he may have to face lot OF his pr!-
vate foes, led by Major Clinton H Smith. II IL
said that friends Of the Major will do al in their
power TO prevent the confirmation Of Captain
Mseks's appoin tment, and IL is gravely asserted
that they Will base their opposition 70 Meeks on
his attitude toward Smith when he and Captain
Bleecker published their statement rejecting upon
Smiths bravery at the battle OF San Juan.
IL would appear from this that Smiths friends
sadly lacking IN the sense Of humor The
Majors conduct on that occasion has been pub
llcly severely criticised by Governor Roosevelt and
q court OF inquiry and IL Is doubtful whether the
good name OF the rank and file OF his regiment
would have been cleared from a charge Of
cowardice II Meeks and Bleecker had not started
the agitation which laid the blame certain
officers instead OF on the men For these and
other reasons friends OF Captain Meeks said yes
terday that they had fear Of a refusal to con-
firm.
Meeks's enemies trying 10 show that he had
ignoble motive for exposing Smith, and that II
Smith had made him janitor Of the regmental
armory Meeks would have remained silent about
the conduct Of officers at San Juan The reply OF
Meekss friends 10 this is that Meeks would have
exposed the officers from sense Of duty whether
he got the janitorship or not

The upper room Of the building
lately completed by Mr.. ]. II. Nc
Nicely has been fitted up as the
Lodge for the F. & A. M. of Colfax.
The building, of which Mr.. NJ.
Terrier is architect and builder, is
handsome and proportionate in its
construction, and altogether cred
it to his skill and taste.
The painting on the entire build
ing was done by Mr.. J. G. Goulden,
of Alexandria, and is most artistic
and pleasing in the harmony If
colors that gentleman knows SO
well how to blend. It is in the
Lodge room, however, that Mr..
Goulden has displayed ais best
skill, and the faithfulness with
which he has depicted the cabalis-
tic signs of the order makes them
all stand out in startling reality.
The "outer door," with wicket"
or peep-hole, is appropriately de-
signed. The Worshipful Masters
stand is tastefully oramented with
two columns, supporting an arch,
from which hangs a big letter G.
The altar in the center of tke-room
is embellished with the skill of a
master hand, and on all sides may
BE- seen pictures Of the square and
compass and other signs of the or
der. The stations for the Senior
Warden and Junior Warden are
also nicely painted and embellish-
ed, while great locks, painted on
doors leading into hidden recesaes,
serve to add to the mystic appear
ance of things.
The Masons used their new hall
for the first time last Saturday af-
ternoon, at which time they held
their regular monthly meeting.
The hall is 22x40 feet, inside meas
urement, and makes a roomy and
comfortable apartment for the use
to which it is applied.
