all, has come and gone. He was ao-
corded royal reception as was be-
coming royal good fellow; he was
more than favorably Impressed, and
made more than a favorable impress
sion. Mr.. Bell arrived here on Sun
day morning, and there was an i'm
mediate request for his presence in
Goldfield. He had to go, there was
nothing else to do; and committee
escorted him across the desert in an
automobile. He described how he
went, upon his return.
Returning to Tonopah shortly af-
ter o o'clock, he was in plenty time
for the parade which escorted him
to the Eagles Pavilion, where a
great reception awaited him. His
appearance upon the stage was the
signal for an ovation from the big
crowd which had gathered to greet
him. Charles Cameron, worthy pres
ident of the Tonop\h aerie, presided
at the meeting, a..d P. A. McCarran
acted as master of ceremonies. There
was music by the band, there was
vocal music, and the Introduction of
Mr.. Bell was the signal for renewed
outbreak of applause.
The grand worthy president has a
commanding appearance, and the talk
he made was what might be expected
from such lofty figure. He spoke
of the good that was accomplished
by fraternal orders, and also of the
bad that crept into those orders. The
spirit of the Eagles, he said, was the
uplifting of humanity, and the Eagles
were always ready to extend a helD-
ing hand to those who might be
climbing out of the darkness.
when you see a man who has
fallen" said Mr. Bell, "and he is
trying to creep up again to the light,
extend to him helping hand; do not
[refnse him your aid. That is the
keynote to the fraternal orders, and
| they are made for the common peo-
pie. They do not touch those who
are high and we'll established in life
/ The man who has big income and
an automobile, who is living in com.
fort or luxury has no use for the fra.
ternal order, for he can take care
of himself without assistance. But
i II is to those who are not SO favored
1 that such orders as the Eagles APP
peal We do not bar a man who
sometimes takes too much, while VIZ
stand for sobriety; because if we did
it might happen at times that VIZ

Jail tonight, no matter for wha
crime, than for the man or woman
