It is not often that a past grand master
Of the Masonic lodge Of a state leaves the
Jurisdiction over which he has presided.
but one is to leave Nebraska this month
for the Jurisdiction of Missouri. The de-
parture Of Judge W. w. Keysor, therefore,
is to be made memorable by a farewell
entertainment in his honor by the mem
bers Of st. Johns lodge Thursday night, to
which every master mason in the jurisdic-
tion will be given a hearty welcome. The
committee having charge of the enter
tainment has prepared an excellent pro-
gram OK speeches, music and song. The
affair will be held in a tyled lodge, open in
the third degree, and purely Masonic
features will mark the evenings program.
Visitors will be present from all parts Of
the state and two past grand masters are
to speed the departing brother with re-
marks.
with the coming Of the cooler weather
and the resumption of Masonic work there
will probably be some activity in the Cali
fornia Conclave club, which was organ
tied with so great a flourish upon the re-
turn VI the members of Mount Calvary
commandery, knights Templar, from the
Louisville conclave. When the club went
into the quiet season there were about

circus a week from Monday. A committee
consisting Of Mobiles Munson, Dyball and
Kennard has taken the matter up with the
Ringing brothers and has secured seats

the favors shown by the owners Of the
circus-all shriners-who, when the i'm
perial council of the order met in Omaha,
placed all Of the camels in the menagerie
in the line of march, and afterward gave
the embers of the temple a complimentary
entertainment.

A great deal Of enthusiasm was aroused
at the meeting Of Mayfower Garden of the
Gardeners Thursday evening, when J. +.
Kelly addressed the members, announcing
his purpose to cast his lot hereafter with
the Gardeners. He was more than de-
lighted with the progress made in putting
on the military work and was highly i'm
pressed with the personality Of the mem
bership. Supreme Organizer T.. 2. Magyar
rell followed in the same vein and it was
generally felt that the order is to be con-
graduated upon having such able men to
look after its field work. The balance OF

dancing and everyone left happy and de-
lighted.
