NOTES or THE IASOHS 1T OTTUIWA.

IT was the best attended grand lodge
n the Masonn have had in years.
All the lodges in the jurisdiction
were represented except one.
All who attended We're well satisfied
with results. 5
The lodge reported all subordinate
lodges in better condition than they
have been for years.
From being in an embarrassing con-
dition financially, the lodge is now in
good healthy financial condition.
Grand Master Brown has proven
himself to be a hard worker and de-
serves the congratulations Of the Iowa
Masons.
Happy Joe Woods (The Baby was at
his post as usual, but owing to i'll
health was not as lively as usual. He
has heretofore been the life of the
grand lodge. To make him feel all
right the members promised to elect
him as Grand Secretary next year. He
has been faithful as Grand Register
and it is quite a compliment to his
ability TO be promised the position.
The big 3 was not so CONSPICUOUS in
Ottumwa as it was in Davenport last
year,-but undoubtedly they were

Ottumwa did herself honor in enter
tanning the grand lodge. Special men
ton is due the w. NJ. Brother Rose,
also Brother Taylor, Fowler and Hamil-
ton.
Bob johnson was CONSPICUOUS for his
absence at times. Where were you
Brother johnson? 4 III.
The Orpheium was quite resort for
the Masons while in the city.
It is reported that two of the MEM
bers who were without ladies one even
ing, after three brothers had taken
ladies to the Orpheium and then to the
ice crsrm parlor-these two young men
stepped into the ice cream parlor and
ran sway with the young ladies.
They wont be able to do the same
thing in Abba, because the three
Il brothers have ordered paddock with
which to lock the girls to them. We
would advise for you to begin to get
ready now.
A. A. Bland, Grand Secretary, was at
his post as usual and was always ready
4 to set the lodge right. He has been
1atkhfnl secretary for several years.

next year for The Baby. !"

The older grand officers were not with
us, but trust the getting out of office
does not interfere with their masonic
zeal.

Des Moines sent a strong delegation,

Muchakiuock turned in the most
money and reported their lodge in
fiourishipg condition. 1t was regretted
that brother London could not stay
throughout the session.
The lodge was a grand success. The
