 Secretarys Report
 The annual report of Daniel Colwell national secretary of the Knights of Columbus, which will be made public probably this week, will show an in- crease in the total membership of the order which will be most gratifying to those who are interested in the success of the Knights of Columbus Secretary Colwell reports net gain of 10,105 members for the year 1901, which is di vided as follows: A gain of 2,354 insur- ance members and 7,751 associate mem bers.
 Such remarkably large gain is un- precented in the history of the order, and it has been accomplished only by hard and consistent work by those in- terested in the organization of new lodges and securing new members. His report also shows an increase of eight cen lodges which now have grand to- tai of 627, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific
 The total Lmembership of the order mentioned in the report is 7S,806 divid- ed among insurance and associates as follows: Of the former there are 32,790 and of the latter 46,016.

Grand opera House.

"The Rambers" had large audience at the Grand Opera House last night. The performance will be repeated to- day, matinee and night
 One of the good plays now on the road is "The Secret Dispatch" a drama of war times but not a war drama, for it is a story of civil as well as war com plications The situations are good and well worked out to an exciting finish. After the war Gray, who has been Wrongfully accused of murder, returns to his old home, and, aided by his old time sweetheart, proves his innocence and tracks down Follett his traducer and who is the real murderer. Four acts, well supplied with dramatic scenes and comedy, are taken to tell this story and the play is full of rush and quick ness, with no long talks and no stories of twenty years ago" this and that oc- cured. The scenery Is well in keeping with the scenes where the play takes place. The company is a strong one. This is the attraction at the Grand Op- era House for the three nights com mencing tomorrow, with a matinee on Saturday.
 The Rowerv Purles0uers are billed to appear at the Grand Opera House next Monday Tuesday and Wednesday eve nings and at the matinee Wednesday, The excellent bill they present demands attention on the part of all lovers of burlesque and vaudeville.
