SCOTTISH RITES CATHEDRAL
Home for Masonic Societies to Be Built BY
Special Organization.
LATTER IN PROCESS OF FORMATION
Meeting Held Monday Night mt which
steps Were Taken 10 Perfect
Composition of This
Body.

Monday night at the meeting OF the Scot
fish Rite Masons, final steps were taken
for the formation of a society which will
have as its object the construction of
temple building at the corner of Twentieth
and Douglas streets.
This corner, 1S2xl24 feet, recently was
bought by the board of directors of the
Masonic Temple craft, with the avowed
object of ultimately building a temple on
the ground which would be used by all
Masonic societies, the present temple either
to be sold or rented as should be later
decided. When the matter waa referred
to, the societies composing the temple craft
the plan was not approved and the board
of directors Immediately took steps to dis
pose of its holdings.
A board of trustees of four members of
the Scottish Rite societies and the Order
Of the Mystic Shrine Immediately was or
ganized and bought the land from the
temple craft, paying the price IT had paid,
$4,000. The matter then was taken up by
these two societies, and after considerable
discussion it was decided the two societies
should go together to build a house for
their own use, leaving the present temple
flor the exclusive use of the blue lodges
and the higher bodies of the York Rite.
Plans to Raise Funds.
In order to carry out this plan the dues
of the Mystic Shrine were raised and other
steps taken to raise the amount of funds
required The societies have the money in
hand to pay for the ground and it is ex-
pected that within six months $4,000 addi-
tional will be raised. 1t is then proposed
TO issue sufficient amount of bonds of par
value of s100 each to raise the amount OF
money necessary v construct building to
cost about $4,000, fully equipped for the
housing of the two societies. These bonds
are to be sold only to members of the or
ders and are to bear per cent interest
and are subject to purchase by the build
! ing society at any time.
1t is estimated the societies can redeem
these bonds in a comparatively short time
and hold their building free of debt.
! All preliminary arrangements have beer
| completed for the transfer Of the land from
! the trustees as soon as the society has in
corporated and the new building will b'
under construction by June l IL present
plans are carried out.
| Gustave Anderson said Tuesday morning
| the building is to be known as the Scottish
| Rites cathedral. The building committee
with Henry Hardy as chairman, is now a
with Charles w. Murdoch, who was super
vising architect of the new postoffice build
| ing in Omaha. He has submitted the bes
| sketches thus far and IL is probable h
will be selected as architect.

Committee Given Power.

The club convention committee was given
power to invite the Baptists and to make
arrangements in case of acceptance. Kan
sas City. st. Paul and Minneapolis are said
to be competitors for the convention. 1t
has never been held west of Chicago.
Another important step taken by the
committee was a decision to get survey
OF the road from Fort Crook to the point
where Thirteenth street crosses the line be-
tween Omaha and South Omaha, and to
send blue prints illustrating the survey to
Senator Willard at Washington. This re-
wives the old idea of macadamizing the
road. Quartermaster General Humphrey
has expressed himself favorable to Mr.. Mil
lard on the subject. and 1t is thought the
| Omaha senator will be able to get an APP
preparation of $4,000 for the work II proper
interest is taken by local people. The
county surveyor will be asked to make the
/ survey.
| Members of the club think a macadam-
| lied road from Fort Crook would be a big
boon for Omaha. On the other hand, II is
said the South Omaha people do not favor
| It. as they want traffic to come up Twenty

Kindness of Physician.

Due to the kindness of physician whose

attendance and something to eat.
She gave Mr.. Morris the name of Har-

told him the name of her parents. Mr..
Morris hunted them up and showed them
their duty toward the girl, which they I'M
derstood well enough. and the mother is
with her daughter now. The Associated
Charities provided coal for the stove and
the kindly physician is said to continue his

warm but there are other calls for which
the cold has been directly responsible. One
two-room howell near Eas Omaha was en-
tered and the husband was found sick in
bed, wife and six children, pinched with
hunger and shiverng with cold. Clothing
and bedclothes were scarce in that
wretched home and coal and bread had
been gone for many hours. The Asso-
ciated Charities brought relief here, too.
Mrs Mary Coffman left her children in
Kansas City and followed her runaway
husband to Omaha. without money or
friends, she was forced Saturday night to
