SHRINERS AFTERMATH FIFTEEN CANDIDATES.
Officers Of Kaaba Temple Delighted
With Oskaloosa.

The officers of the Kaaba temple OF
the Shriners are highly pleased with
the last meeting held in this city and
have placed themselves on record as
holding the affair as model to be
followed in other similar occasions
Fifteen candidates took the Shriner
degree from Oskaloosa and near by
territory. The class would have been
much larger had not sickness and
other circumstances prevented the
presence Of a number who were de-
sirous of taking the degree 1t is pos
sible that another class will be ready
at oskaloosa about mid-season next
year.
The work Of preparation for the
meeting and in the care of the Wis.
iting mobiles was a revelation to many
Of the visitors in attendance, who pro
nounced the entertainment perfect,
and superior to anything of the kind
in their experience.
Much of the success of the details
CT the gathering was due to the eff
forts and the untiring zeal of F. w.
Glaze, who worked early and late for
the carrying out of all parts of the
program.
To E. w. Philippe, an ardent Shrin'
er, belongs considerable credit for de.
partments Of the meeting. A shriner
meeting is no small affair, and the
gentleman entered into the work ac-
cepting his full share of the RESPONSE
bilities.
w. E. Richie gave valuable assist
ance in the preparations for the
meeting and the carrying out of the
plans of the entertainment. The
working together of these heutenants
is what conspires to make a Shrine
meeting at oskaloosa always popular
and successful
The banquet at Hotel Downing was
said to have been highly appreciated
by officers and visitors, and Mr.. Hen
has been the recipient of many COM
pliments over the same.
One of the pleasant features Of the
day was the presence of Andy Dir,
who though an invalid and unable to
walk a step, was permitted to be
among the mobiles and to enjoy the
day with the mobiles. He was taken
to the headquarters during the day
and was given quite, an ovation. The
boys took him out to the ball game,
and wherever they were ne was made
party to all affairs and pleasures
The day will long be a bright spot
in his experience with the mobiles OF
the order.
Thanks are extended to all resident
mobiles for the part taken in making
the oskaloosa meeting a signal sue
cess and for the detail worN done and
for all assistance given the officers OF
the order.
The Davenport crowd, who have
had several Oskaloosa experiences in
our town, and many of the ShripeT
company, were entertained here last
summer, on the excursion of Daven-
port business men, have come to be-
lieYe implicitly in Oskaloosa as a city
of much worth. They say it is a fine
little city and should be annexed to
Davenport What's the matter with
Davenport being made a suburb OF
Oskaloosa? That's the way we look
al things down here.
