Big Class Initiation.

The Woodmen of the World, and its
auxiliary, the Woodmen Circle, will
hold on Tuesday evening. Oct. 3rd, a
class initiation of new members Sc
cured during the past six weeks by
special organizers for these orders.
The Circle already has class of
twenty-five with large number of
prospects who will doubtless be found
in the class, and the Woodmen of the
World will have an equally large class,
to which will be added several candi-
dates who will JON the Calmar Camp.
The program will consist of an open
meeting in the Armory to be addressed
by Mrs. Mae B. Furman, of Des
Moincs, and J. w. Geiger. of Omaha,
state managers respectively of the W.
C. and w. o. w., and perhaps others.
This meeting will be about an hour in
length and will be open to the general
public.
Following the open meeting. the
ladies will repair to w. o. w. hall
where their class will be initiated by
Mrs. Furman and her staff, while the
w. O. w. will remain in the Armory
to witness their class initiation con-
Quoted by MIR. Geiger and his state de-
gree staff.
The initiatory work concluded, ban
quet will be served the members in M.
W. A. hall, to be followed by dancing
and a general good time "for the good
of. the order"

Reunion Aftermath.

The 3Sth Iowa reunion closed Thurs
day evening, with rather impromptu
program MIR. Couse of Decorah gave
a short address and Mr.. Caldwell sang
several old war songs.
The min event of the evening was
the reading by Miss Winifred Webster
of 1.-The Perfect Tribute" a charming
bit of fiction with Lincoln's Gettys-
burg address as the central gem. The
reading was quite lengthy but extreme
" appropriate to the occasion, and was
exceedingly we'll rendered by Miss
Webster.
