Separate for Two Years.
The Masonic Grand lodge Of the
Indian Territory will meet at Ard
more, August II and Is, In mention
ing this fact some newspapers have
jumped at the conclusion that the
coming session Of the Grand lodge
will unite with the Oklahoma Grand
lodge, and also that the location of
the Orphans home will be decided
upon. neither Of which is correct.
In reference to the merging Of the
Grand LODGES: That proposition is
two years away, for the Oklahoma
Grand lodge at its last meeting, held
last February, refused to appoint n
committee from the Indian Terri
tory Grand lodge, which may be ap-
pointed at the Ardmore meeting.
If the Indian Territory Grand
lodge appoints such committee at
Ardmore the report will not be made
and acted upon until the next annual
meeting, and if the Oklahoma Grand
Lodge should appoint committee
at its next session, in February, 1908,
before that committees report can
be acted upon.
As to the location of the Orphan S
home The committee now having
that work in charge will report three
sets of plans and specifications to the
Grand Lodge at Ardmore, which
body will decide upon one of them,
and then il will be another year be-
fore the location can be selected. In
other words, the location of the
Orphans home will not be decided
upon until in August, 1907, and the
merging Of the Grand Lodges cannot
take place until in 1908.

In staining woodwork there are few
rules to be kept in mind. If the wood
is open grain, a filler is needed. First
tho. apply one coat Of stain, following
up with a filler and If in the case Of
the color desired being very dark the

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Friday evening the class of '06 of
the Rock Island high school will pre-
sent Captain Jinks of the Horse Ma
rines," a musical comedy by Clyde
Fitch. The cast, composed of 20 mem
bers, has been practicing for the past
eight weeks under the direction of
Miss Gertrude Don, instructor of elocu-
ton at Augustana college. Dress re-
hearsals will be held tonight and to-
morrow to give the finishing touches
before presentation.
The scenery, made especially for the
occasion, is now completed and de-
serves praise from an artistic point of
view. The costumes, which are bright
and attractive, represent the time of
the play-the early 70s. The first
scene is the wharf at New York har-
Dor, where Madame Trentoni, Abbie
Burns. the leading lady, is just land
ing for tour of America The second
and third scenes represent a room in
a New York hotel There is a bet
made between Captain links and two
of his chumS with regard to Madame
Trentoni. They fall in love and are
about to be married when Professor
Belliarti exposes Captain Jinks' bet
and forces him to own up to it, Mean
while the great singer has had a bril-
liant success and is cheered by great
crowds with bands in their uniforms
However. she is very unhappy and is
about to return to Europe.
Later it develops that the bet of
Jinks was only a foolish wager and he
is forgiven. All ends well. The play
is one which offers a perfect blending
of pathos and humor, which is charac-
teristic of the author.
