THE CORNER STONE PLACED
Impressive Ceremonies Conducted In
The Rain.

monies Of laying the corner stone OF
the Masonic-Odd Fellows building we're
finally held IN a downpour Of rain, as
at three o'clock on Thursday, January
10th, such was the unpleasant condi-
tion. There was, however, no slight
ing OF the impressive Masonic ceremo-
mics used on such occasions. A large
number OF visiting Masons we're pres
ent and participated in the ceremonies.
Past Grand Master w. A. Roaue, OF
Oxford, acted as Grand Master OF the
Grand Lodge and conducted the i'm
pressive ritualistic work, assisted by
the other officers of the local Lodge.
After the laying Of the corne stone
the crowd repaired TO the mayors Of
fee and listened 10 an able and elo-
quent address by Hon. T. U. Sisson, of
Winona, upon Masonry and its objects.
He displayed a deep knowledge of this
ancient and honorable order. and his
entire speech was .of a lofty moral and
patriotic nature. He paid the Jewish
race a high compliment and admonish-
ed all to follow the teachings OF the an.
cient fathers of the race and the found
ers of Masonry. The following valua-
bic historical papers and relies were
encased in a tin box and placed In the
corner stone, there to remain as long
as the building stands:
