Unusual Interest Manifested
In the Coming Grand
Lodge Sessions
LITTLE RIVALRY FOR OFFICES
Few Candidates Yet Announced-Es-
Enlistment of Pythian sanitarium
at coIfax Prominent Among Subjects
Which Will Come Up for Settle
ment at the Sessions.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Ia, July S.-Unusual In
terest attaches this year to the grand
lodge sessions of the knights of Pytl-
las of Iowa, to be held next month.
Unlike former years, but little interest
is taken in the candidacy of aspirants
for offices in the gift of the grand lodge
and but few candidates have been an
nounced. For grand chancellor there
Senator Molsberry, of Columbus juno
ton, who was prominently mentioned
last year as candidate for the same
office. In place of interest in the sue
cess of officers for the coming year,
there appears to be more of interest on
the part OF the rank and file of the
party in several subjects that will come
up for settlement at the approaching
sessions. Prominent among these is
the decision in the matter of establish
ing a Pythian Sanitarium at Colfax.
This subject was considered by the
grand lodge at Des Moines last year
but no decision was reached and 1t was
sent back to special committee to in
vestigate fureher and report more par
ticulars to the grand body. Acting on
this committees report, the matter will
probably be settled at the coming ses-
sions of the grand lodge in Council
Bluffs. Another matter that will come
up for adjustment will be amend
ment to the grand statutes changing
the time of the election of representa-
tives to the grand lodge from June to
January. The reason advanced for
this change is that in June there is
usually a low average attendance In the
subordinate lodges, while in January
the meetings are largely attended and
more interest Is manifested in lodge
matters. 1t is claimed that the dele
gates to the grand lodge should be
chosen by the voice of as large a per
cent of the active membership as pos
sible and since this cannot be done in
the summer months. the change in the
time of election of grand lodge repre-
sentatives to January appears to be
favored. 1t is also probable that step
will be taken by the next grand lodge
looking to the reduction of the number
of members on the grand lodge COM
mittees. 1t is held by many that the
grand lodge committees as now consti-
tuted are too large and there appears
growing sentiment In favor of cutting
them down.

FIRE AT GREENE.

Special to Times Republican.
Greene. July S.-Last night about
1880 fire broke out in the bakery OF
w. e. Phelps & Co, in the Weston
block. on the west side of the river
1t is not known how the fire origin
ated, but 1t made rapid Roadway, and
for a few minutes it seemed that the
whole block would be destroyed in a
short time. The building is brick, We
neered, and this fact made 1t some
thing of a fire trap. and the brick threw
off the water. However. the fire was
soon brought under control and extin-
guished after practically destroying
the rear of the building. The loss will
probably amount to $4,000.
This fire demonstrated fully the eff
ficiency of the Greene fire company.
Their work was very speedy and no
mistakes whatever were made in their
tactics. This makes the second time
in the last three months that they have
shown their efficiency.
The loss is partially covered by IN
SuranCe.

The attendance at the knights Templar
conclave this year bids fair to exceed
that of any previous year. Forty new
rooms have been added to the apart
ment building, making 140 in all. Each
room will probably contain two per-
sons. A much larger number Of tents
are on the ground than usual.
Among the distinguished visitors who
are expected is the grand commander of
Minnesota. He will be received with
the courtesy due to his high office.
The lake is much higher than it has
been for several years, and the fish
ing is good.
Every year there are number of
new arrivals at Templar Park, and
when person comes here once he Is
very anxious to come again. This is
one of the most beautiful and pictur-
esque spots in Iowa, and every year
improves it's beauty.
One of the pretty features of the con-
clave is the battalion drill which takes
place on the parade ground at 1880 on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday ey-
enings. Considering that nearly every

is made up of fine fellows, the best In

The knights Templar band, Of New
ton, thirty pieces, furnishes music for
the parades, concerts and entertain
ments. They make excellent music.

SO long that his respiratory organs be-
came partially paralyzed. AT least he
fell over unconscious, black in the face

turned to Knowlton where a warrant
was waiting for his arrest. He was
confronted by the marshal, Joe For

and that no two men could take him.
He left at once for Shannon City and

sent for the sheriff. He had collected

PoWEsHIEk INSTITUTE.
Series Of Lectures Given by Professor
Mcbride of State University.

Mcbride Of State University.
Special to Times Republican.
Brooklyn, July S.-One of the most
delightful features of the institute was
series of lectures given by Professor
Mcbride OF the Iowa State University.
His lectures included q brief review OF
many of the lower forms of plant life
which are commonly overlooked and
considered of little Importance in the
presentation of nature study.
The mold, smut, microbes and other
like forms took on new significance
to the teachers OF the institute as they
were presented by Professor Nc
Bride.
The lectures were illustrated by
stereopticon views which are prepared
in Professor McBrides own labratory
and are obtainable from no other
source.
The teachers appreciated this glimpse
into the plant world which was made
to appear so charming and beautiful by
Professor Mcbride.
One of the rarest opportunities ever
given to the teachers of Poweshiek
county was the privilege of hearing
Jonathan Rigdon, president of the Nor
NAL School at Danville, Indiana, on the
subject of grammar.
In his vigorous style, he brought
new life into this subject, which is
usually considered dry and uninter-
esting.
We believe the effect will be to make
