decision was to settle the validity or in
validity OF the law so that the case OF

tional, the trial of Tom Horn will be COM

total receipts of the fair from all sources
amounted to $18, 300, and that the net pro-
ceeds which the Elks lodge will receive
will exceed $1,000. What disposition to
mako OF this money will be decided upon
at a special meeting OF the lodge Thursday
night. There is a strong sentiment among
the members OF devoting at least s.. 1000 OF
this amount toward buying up club house
stock. With the balance It has been pro-
posed to endow a room at both the Wom-
ans Christian association and the new
Mercy hospital. This suggestion is gener-
ally favored by the lodge members as many
other Elks' lodges maintain rooms In the
hospitals OF the cities in which they are
