The x. p. Reception Abandoned.

The members of the X. p. lodge were
hard at work Monday afternoon COM
pleting the final arrangements for the
banquet and reception to be held that
|evening in honor of the 36th anniver-
sary of the order, and everything was
arranged for pleasant evening of rec.
reation and enjoyment, when news of
the death of Vice-C Chancellor S. Emmett
Gardner was brought to the city. Mr..
Gardner being next to the highest off.
Ger of the lodge, steps we're Immediately
taken for the abandonment of the cele-
bration. The ladies of the Christian
church had their tables all set in the
new Biggs building and the eatables
cooked for the banquet, but they very
called of, and instead served supper to
everyone who came from 6 to $3.50
O'Clock, and they received very liberal
patronage.
The program for the exercises in the
X. p. Hall was also abandoned. Instead
the Knights and their ladies assembled
to hear an address of Rev. Grant A.
Robbins, of Macon City,. Mo-, who was
to have been the orator of the evening.
Rev. Robbins had prepared specially
fine humorous address for this occasion,
but under the circumstances changed
his whole talk, giving brief description
of the principles of the order of Knights
of Pythias, and Of the beautiful story OF
Damon and Pythias which SO impressed
Justus II. Rathbone that he founded
the order at Washington. d. q. 36 years
ago, and these principles of Friendship,
Charity and Beneyolence have been so
we'll applied that there are now more
than half million members of the
order. He paid beautiful tribute to
the memory of the deceased brother
whose station in the lodge room was
appropriately draped in mourning
The death of knight Gardner cast 8
gloom over the entire city and especial
ly with-his brother knights, and ne
more appropriate exercises could hav.
been held on this sad occasion than the
beautiful and impressive address deliver
