There was a meeting Of the committee
at the parlors OF the Scottish Rite Friday
evening at which thirty members were pres
ent. II was decided that a fund be raised
among the members OF the shrine In this
city with which to entertain the delegates
attending the meeting OF the imperial coun-
ell at San Francisco, either while enroute
to the council or upon their return.
All of the camels Of Tangier will probably
be out in July, when the delegates return
from the Pacific coast. In Shrine circles a
custom has been established OF the dele
gates to the imperial council, or as many
Of them as possible, accompanying the
newly elected imperial potentste to his
home temple and there on the green oasis,
amid the friends who have tried the perils
Of the desert. resting for an hour before
departing for their homes. Omaha Is
happily situated in this respect. as more
than sixty per cent of the temples OF the
country are east of the Missouri river and
the delegates to the imperial council In the
majority OF cases can pass through the
Omaha gateway as easily as through any
other. A few delegations from the extreme
south will go to San Francisco over the
southern route, a number from further
north will go west by way Of Kansas
City. A large number will go west by
way Of Omaha, but II is the hope and in
tention OF the representatives Of Tangier
temple TO bring the majority of the dele
gates back to their homes by way of Omaha.
II this plan is worked out there will be
many trains at the depots at one time. There
will be hundreds Of the wearers Of the fez
and tigers claws at the hall and Tangier
will have a hearty welcome and entertain>
ment for all.
Following precedent, Colonel Akin will. be
elected imperial potentate. When he re-
turns to Omaha Tangier temple will give
him a rousing reception. While the pro-
gram Is still in the tentative stage and
subject to many changes. there may be
parades in which the visitors will take
part, an immense banquet, balls and recep-
tions to the visitors. This will not end
with the visit of the delegations, but will
continue, TO a greater or less extent, dur
ing the year, and the ways and means com
mittee, as large and strong as II is. believes
that 1t has wohk to keep 1t active until
the day the visitors begin to arrive.
The committee charged with arranging fer
the headquarters of Tangier temple at San
Francisco has been instructed to engage
rooms at the Palace hotel. This hous
has been selected as the headquarters for
the imperial potentate and his party, and
the temple Of the next imperial potentats
will be located at headquarters close TO
those OF the present officers. The rooms
thus secured will be used as a general rem
devious for the Nebraska delegations and
here they will entertain their friends. Each
visitor to the council and each delegate
will secure personal quarters to suit him
self.
At the meeting Of the members Of the
temple Friday evening 1t was decided TO
hold the semi-annual ceremonial sess on

the order are now being enrolled. 1t is
expected that the class will be the largest
In the history of the temple. and that the
session will be one of the most attractive.

T Nebraska lodge No. 1. Knights Of Pythias.
had a very interesting meeting last Mon
day night. Many members were present
and a number OF visitors were seen in the
hall. The managing editor OF the Bulletin
submitted at a prior meeting a very ex-
h~austive and gratifying report Of the busi-
ness done by the paper for the past six
months, detailing by items the receipts and
expenditures and showing a balance to the
credit OF the Bulletin. Said one OF the
members: THAT the journalistic gem has
been a great benefit to the lodge goes
without saying. Since its publication the
attendance at lodge meetings has Increased
and a keener interest in the affairs OF the
lodge has been manifested. That II may
continue to do good and be as successful
In the future as It has been In the last
six months. is the wish Of every member
of the lodge"
Every member IL requested to be pres
emit next meeting night TO sign the roll,
resolving to DO at as many meetings as pos
sible during the coming year. doing what
they may to enliven and q them i~nstruc-
tive.
The lodge has been very fortunate dur
ing the winter now drawing to a close by
reason Of so few members being on the
sick list. Brother Lloyd Kelley was re-
ported sick and hope expressed for his
speedy recovery. Brother Fair, dean Of
Trinity cathedral. was reported GONZALES
