The memorial services held by the local lodge of Elks at the Opera House on Sunday afternoon i1 homo of the departed members of the order, were impressive.
 The Opera House was beautifully decorated with flowers anL the colors of the order, and although the crowd was not what would be termed large under ordinary conditions, still taking into consideration the inciemcl: weather, it was a big surprise 10 see the number who braved Ihe clements and attended.
 An appropriate and well selected program was rendered, ihe prlncIpal numbers being the addresse s-one by Dr. D. E. Frederick, who delivered the Tn Memoriam", and the other by w. B. Moreland, of Denver, who delivered the oration on The Brotherhood of Elks."
 The program for the service opened with the rendition of the most solemn of all music. the Funeral March. by Chopin. which was quickly followed by the opening ceremonies by the lodge officers led by Exalted Ruler E. W. Speirs. No more solemn ceremony can be conjured by the imagination of man than the one gone through with when name after name of the mem bers who have departed from this life, was called and there was no response save the echo of the words which had once called up a man in the full glory of strength, now so meaningless.
 Mrs. J. J. Harrington who was next on the program, rendered the favorite of so many people, the Holy City. with much feeling.
 The opening ode of the order was then sung by the members of the l lodge and the audience. this ceremony being followed by an invocation by Rev. Fry.
 Sam Newman was heard next in a masterly rendition of wieniawsky's 'Legende." The music thrilled his hearers to the utmost. MT. Newman /! putting his whole soul into the ren- ! dition and drawing forth signs and sobs. laughter and tears running the whole gamut of human emotions c. H. Thomas rendered Gounod's Ave Maria" on the trombone. with true feeling.
