MASONIC.

MASONIC.
This has been a big year for
Masonry in Missouri. The net in
crease in membership has been
over 5O0-the largest gain made by
any fraternal order.
In material gain the highest
point has also been reached, es-
pecially in the acquisition of real
estate. The Grand Master has
officiated at four cornerstone lay
ings for Masonic halls and at the
same number for other public
edifices.
Under the untiring vigilance of
the Grand Master lodge treas
uries through the jurisdiction have
been remarkably strengthened and
lodge business systematized as
never before.
Perhaps the greatest satisfaction,
however, comes from the universal
enthusiasm arising from the sue
cessful manner in which the burial
system has been put into opera
tion. This has been particularly
helpful to the smaller lodges and
has equalized the obligations in all
the lodges.
In order to make the burial al
lowance greater the brethren will
soon be willing TO increase the
small amount of dues now paid and
thus make the feature one that will
give much better service and salts
faction.
The new Masonic Hand Book is
another product of the years work
and meets a long felt need of the
Craft. 1t will be formally given out
for the use of lodges at this ses-
sion of the Grand Lodge,

WILL TAKE BUSINESS PARTNER

Mr.. Ottomeyer has decided to make a
definite change in his business which
will give him more leisure from his
duties and more chance for the many
other activities in which he is interested.
Beginning on September first, Gustaf
Kleinschmidt, of Mankato, will take
charge Of the Ottomeyer store for several
months, and then enter into business
partnership with Mr.. Ottomeyer, pro-
vided such a move proves agreeable to
both parties at that time. Mr.. Otto
meyer will retain charge of the financial
affairs of his business, while Mr.. Klein
schmidt will have full charge of the
purchasing and sales departments. Mr..
Keinschmidt is at present in the employ
of Richards Bros. of Mankato, as the
manager of the dry goods department.
He has had seven or eight years of ex-
perience in his line of work, is an expert
window trimmer, and fully competent
to give the best kind of service to his
customers. He is quite well known to
1.-The New Jim public, as he was born and
raised ii this city. He Is known as, q
young man Of good habits, pleasing
personality and sterling character.
Mr.. Ottomeyer, in giving his reasons
for this move, said: ''Do not under.
stand by this that I am retiring from
business. Not by any means. l be-
lieve in a busy life, and while Mr.. Klein
schmidt will relieve me of some of my
duties at my store, shall be free to get
out more in the open air.
Mr.. Ottomeyer has been in the mercan-
tile business now for thirty-three years,
twenty-six of which were spent in charge
Of his store in New Ulm. After these
years he feels glad to leave the work in
charge Of competent man and devote
his energies to other matters as we'll as
his business.
