Ferris N. Smith, formerly, company clerk,
was chosen second lieutenant; William L.
Place, formerly second lieutenant, first
lieutenant and T v. Walker, formerly first
lieutenant captain at an election held Tues
day evening at the armory by the members
of Company C, I'd Battalion, District Ma
tional Guard.
The meeting was called by general order
No 30, for the purpose of electing company
officers and discussing matters of current
Importance. Maj. Anton Stephan presided.
The election was considered by all inter
ested to be most satisfactory. Ferris n.
Smith, who was promoted from the ranks
to the grade of second lieutenant is son
of Representative S. w. Smith of Michigan,
and is student at the Central High School.
He is highly recommended by instructors
and acquaintanceS an accomplished
young man. and the officers of the guard
express the opinion that he will prove to be
an efficient and capable officer.
The promotion of Lieut.. T. V. Walker to
the captaincy was also favorably COM
mented upon in militia circles. Mr.. Walker
has been prominent in the post office as
chief of a division, and commanded Com
pany of the guard In Cuba during the war
with Spain. Under his command 1t is ex-
pected the company will improve in many
ways. The election of Second Lieut.. VIM.
T. Place to the first lieutenancy was greeted
with general satisfaction, for he has always
shown himself to be capable officer.
In the near future the officers-elect will be
examined by a board composed of commits
stoned officers of the guard as to their phys
lcal and mental qualifications. If they sue
cessfully pass they will be commissioned
and assigned to their company for duty.

NINETEEN DAYS MORE
Then the Shriners Will Take Possess
sion of Washington.
ASSURANCES GIVENOF A CREATE CROWD
Arrangements for Banquet, Parade
and Illumination.
THELADIES' COMMITTEE

Only nineteen days will elapse before the
mobiles of the Mystic Shrine come in legions
to take possession of the nations capital
city. and they will be days replete with ac-
tivity. not only in Washington, but all over
this big Union and Canada. Not only the
Shriners themselves, but many others in
terested, will be thus animated. The ses-
sions of the Imperial Council, which are
to be held in the Columbia Theater. May %
ard 23, will be of such Importance to the
order that they will attract as they al
ways do wherever held, thousands of no.
bles many of whom take their wives and
mothers with them. This throng will reach
over 10000 persons. who will be Immediate
ly interested in the council work.
But Shriners are proverbially popular peo-
pie. and their friends like them so well
that, where circumstances do not prevent.
they flock with the nobility wherever 1t
goes. This crowd will come. too. and then
there will be another. The lowest rate ever
given by the railroads of this country and
Canada has been extended to the May meet
ing of the Shrine. being single fare for the
round trip to Washington from all points,
and the railroad officials state that the in
locations all point to immense throng
of persons not directly interested in the
ceremonies. Interest is further shown in the
way the railroad representatives are striv-
ing to secure the business, both by extern
sive advertising of the occasion and per-
SoEal efforts well.
