X. OF P.
The last convention Of Mcpherson
lodge was somewhat overshadowed by
the large and enthusiastic district con-
venton. Still there was good at
tendance and the rank of esquire was
conferred upon two pages. At the
next convention the rank of knight
will be conferred upon three esquires
and the team will govern itself &C.
cordingly. The district convention was
a great success, both IN point of num-
bers and Pythian enthusiasm, and 1t
cannot but result in good for the Order
o., Aicfri iat
was the address Of Grand Chancellor
Ellenwood, on Pythfan privileges and
duties. and It was by far the best pre-
sentation of Pythian principles that
has been heard here for number OF
years and was rare treat to those
who heard it. 1t did not consist pure
ly of beautiful flowers of rhetoric, but
1t was replete with good practical
thoughts for Pythian work and
growth. The Grand Chancellor is by
birth an orator and he is so thoroughly
imbued with the principles Of the
Order, and has such high standard
for the organization that his address
carried with it conviction of no ordin-
airy sort. That the Grand Chancellor
is a man of unusual breadth Is shown
by the fact that on the morning fol-
lowing the convention he gave a stir
ring address to the students of Buch-
tel college along educational. lines, and
this subject he handled in no uncertain
or wavering light, making deep inn
preston upon the student body. He
was given a drive about the city, and
expressed himself as highly pleased
with the appearance Of the city and
its numerous evidences of growth and
prosperity.

In this important deal Major
Broun still retains his interest in
the property, but Judge Lucas and
