More than 100 members of the Knights of Khorassan are expected to gather at the Oasis of Montgomery on Wednesday of this week. when the first ceremonial of Antares Temple, No. 1ZI, will be instituted. Between thirty and forty tyros have announced their In. ,tention of crossing the hot sands or the desert on that occasion, to force their way into the sacred circle of the devotees.
 The waters of the oasis of Montgom- cry have gained fame. The healing properties of It's sparkling liquid have made it known to members Of the tribes living in the extreme limits or the desert From Mobile. by the big salt sea and Huntsville among the arid mountains, the Knights will come to uuafY at the spring of eternal knowl- edge. and to initiate the tyroes into the mysteries of the fatal lore. They will come prepared to administer tor lures dire. laden with red pepper and hot spices of the East, and bearing in their train creatures carnivorous. The tyroes who do not succumb to these, 1t Is announced, will make the acc ouaintance of the sharp edged sctmitar and the Arabs lance. If any survive, they will be permitted to quench their thirst at the pure fountain of the mighty -Zem, and to feast at the table of the good and the brave.
 When the sheiks and tribesmen ar rive at the gates of the Oasis City. they will be met with great ceremony. The head men of the encampment will be there to salaam, and to extend welcome such as only Arabs know how. to the visitors from the desert. Each caravan as 1t comes, will be met and received, and there will be great re- joicing at the safe arrival of the faith
 
 plains, The hungry will be fed, the thirsty will be supplied. There will be no want of meat or drink.
 Opportunity will be given to the dervishes of the tribes in the evening, when a grand torchlight parade, led by the swarthy zouaves will be held Through the principal streets of the oasis they will march, torches flaring' to the stirring strains of the tom-toms and the eymbals until the village shall have been passed, and Draughon's Hali' the scene of the solemn ritualistic cere- monies, shall be reached. There, mid pomp and splendor, hidden from the sight of all but the pure and unde- filed. the tyros will be purged ana cleansed, preparatory to entering the pearly gates of the Temple. Those without may hear the roar of the tiger, or the anguished screams or the victims, but the ordeals of the aspiring ones are not for the eyes of the un- worthy.
 feast will be prepared for the vis- Iting Arabs beneath a spreading tent in the encampment. There VIII pc served the choicest of viands. The or chards of the sultan will be ransacked to supply fruits. and the head sheik's larder will be robbed to provide ices and cooling drinks for the men of the desert. With the closing of the feast, the end of the ceremonial will cease. With party cries of Alias De with their brothers by the oasis, and repair to their lairs in the uttermost parts of the earth.
 Among those who will wend their way to Montgomery to attend the cere- monial are numbered some of the most

vertiser, trailed along behind the car avan. He lowered about the outskirts of the travelling Arabs. and now and then, as opportunity offered, picked off man In this Indian fashion he se- cured a number of Arab scalps, which he has reserved as trophies of the visit.
 The Shriners say they had good time They ought to know Artist Spanglcr says he had good time. There was so much doing and so many good things to laugh at. That proved his. undoing. For two days after the visitors let Artist Spangler con tinued to laugh. His friends were wor- ried about his health. Finally, although still speeches. from laughter, he en- deavored to put down on paper some of his impressions of the visit, so that others could see the laugh, too. When the friends gathered anout his bedside saw, they understood and left him alone to have his laugh out In peace.
 Wherefore the drawings of the art ist were delayed. Herewith are some of the sketches the artist drew. He said there were others. but the friends did not wait to see. A sufficiency Is a good thing, they declared. For the in- formation of the many who have left inquiries at The Advertiser office, it is stated that the artist hopes to be up and about before the end of this week.
