| The two supreme physicians, DR.. Nor
r1h and DR.. Snyder, were reelected. DR..
Kiefer was elected as third physician, an
| office made by. a recent amendment to
| the bylaws.
| Though the whole ticket Is now elected
| it must not be understood that the mem
| bers Of the convention found it an easy
matter to come to conclusion in the
matter. The convention commenced ball
ioting yesterday morning at 1890 for vice
oracle supreme; chancellor supreme in
ner sentinel and supreme outer sentinel.
| At noon. when the votes were counted,
it-was discovered that there was no cleo
| ton, and Immediately after dinner the
| members again took up their weary task.
There were so many candidates for each
| office that the votes were scattered. But
all obstfnately refused to pull out Of the
| contest, and thus shorten the work. A
little before six yesterday afternoon the
| tellers finished counting. the votes, and
| the result was announced as given above.
| Inc election Of officers once out of the
4 way the convention went to, work with a
| VIII and at the evening session last night
/ almost finished the consideration Of the
| amendments to the bylaws. Before the
| matter hof bylaws was taken up, how
| ever, the existing beneficiary board. con-
s1sting of j. G. Johnson, J.sW. White and
| Maj @. M. Halves, was endorsed.
| After the election Of officers the most
important thing done yesterday was the
raising of the salaries of the supreme
officers. There was "a good sdeafz-of Bp-
position to this and a hot discussion fol-
1 lowed the question Of 1.-THE amount to
which the different officers were entitled
| In return for the performance of their
| duties.
4 The greatest opposition was manifested
In the case Of the salarys of supreme ora
Gle. a large minority I'm the. convention
/ believing that SOD per month, the salry
previously paid, was, sufficient remunera-
i ton for the work done by that officer
| The majority; however, was in favor of
the raise. Hereafter the supreme oracle
will receive 500 per nonth9and expenses,
| instead of $50. The recorders salary was
raised from SIS to $685. the receivers
| from $50 to $50, and the supreme board Of
managers will hereafter receive 81 day
and expenses instead of 81 while they are
| in session.
Is A resolution passed Tuesday lessening
the cost Of applications and attendant
/ fees 81 was reconsidered and it was de-
cided o.slet the old arrangement stand,
80 the total charge to applicants FOR
membership will be $5.25 as heretofore
Many of the delegates left for their
Ihemes Hast night, and it Is expected that
by noon today the business Of the conven-
ton will be completed and the delegates
| and visitors will be at liberty to return
to their respective homes.
II On the whole, the members Of the con-
| vention express themselves as being well
satisfied with the result of the election
and the business that has been accom-
| plished. Something that meets with al
| most universal approval was the. decis-
ion to establish an official paper. All ar
rangements were left in the hands of
| the supreme board of managers.
