NEW TEMPLE DEDICATED
Large Gathering of Masons from
Many Towns Witness Formal OPP
ening of the Lamar Temple

Nearly three hundred Masons from
all sections of the state and particu-
larly of the Arkansas valley and the
neighboring counties were present last
Saturday at the formal opening and
dedication of the new temple. There
were large delegations from the lodges
at Holly Granada, Eads, Cheyenne
Wells, Las Animas and many visitors
from Denver, Colorado Springs, Pu-
eblo, La Junta and other places, as
well as the members from Lamar and
jurisdiction including Wiley and
Springfield.
The Grand Lodge Of Masons Of
Colorado was represented by the
Grand Master Guy V. Sternberg'
Grand Secretary Chas. H. jacobson,
Grand Lecturer w. W. Cooper and
Grand Junior Steward L. Writ Mark
ham, the other positions being filled
by eminent Masons from various sec
tions of the state. One Of the most
noted visitors was Chas. Withrow Of
Black Hawk, who served as Grand
Master of the Grand Lodge in 1866
and Master of the Black Hawk Lodge
also. And now just 30 years later he
is again Master Of his lodge and
vigorous man both physically and
mentally.
The ceremonies of dedication began
about five o'clock and at their COM
pletion lodge was closed and all ad-
journed to the banquet room where
cafeteria lunch was served. After all
had an opportunity to eat a social
session was held in the lodge and the
gallery was crowded and all seats on
the floor occupied. c. c. Goodale act
ed as chairman and program Of
speeches and music was given. A
special orchestra and chorus composed
of members of the fraternity rendered
n number of excellent selections and
this with social visiting in the outer
room enabled all to pass most en-
iovable evening until IL o'clock when
another luncheon was served and the
crowd gradually began to disperse.
Owing to the delay in getting ma
terials the furnishings are not yet
complete, but all the visitors could
get "a general idea of what it would
be when completed and were generous
in praise of a lodge that could do it,
and Of the community in which it
was located. When complete it will
represent an investment of over fifty
thousand dollars, and will have the
largest and best equipped lodge room
in the state and club room for
Masons that all members can feel
proud of. The four orders represent
ed include the complete York Right
Masonry and each is well provided
with complete paraphanalia for all de
grees. No other city in the country
of less than double the population Of
Lamar can match this temple.

D. A. NICHOLS GOES
HOME;ERECOVERNC
Common Pleas Clerk Was In ST.
Francis Hospital ~ Days
After Operation.

Clerk of the Court Of Common
Pleas D. A. Nichols yesterday after
noon was taken from st. Francis hos
pital to his home at 140 South Ellis
street, "a days after an operation was
performed upon him as last resort
to save his life.
Mr.. Nichols was not allowed to carry
out his intention of walking home that
he made several days ago on the first
day that he was permitted to transact
business in mis- bed at the hospital.
Great care was taken by the physi-
clans and members of the ambulance
corps as we'll as his family who were
in attendance,.t to see that he was prop
erly protected from the cold. The
contraction of a cold at this time in
his illness would be serious matter,
the doctors stated.
Mr.. Nichols was fatigued to a GER
tain extent by the operation of moving
him from his roem in the hospital
to his home. He was able to sit up at
his home, however, and in few days,
the members of his family and the
physicians may allow him to have Wis
itors.
Yesterday after he reached home,
visitors were not allowed to see him.
because of the excitement induced
by the moving and additional excite
ment that their presence would create.
The operation that Mr.. Nichols
went through and il recovering from is
one Of the most difficult to have per-
formed upon old persons, on account
of the great shock that accompanies
it. Mr.. Nichols is "a years old, and
the physicians declared that he owes
his life to the great physical constitu-
ton he has.
Mr.. Nichols illness began before
Christmas when he contracted a cold
and suffered mild attack of the grip.
He continued to go to his office. Short
" before Christmas, however, he was
found in his Office in semi-dazed con-
ditiOn and hurried to his home.
He apparently rallied from this at
tack in short time, but before his
complete recovery a complication in
7olving bladder trouble set in and he
from a mild form of heart
,rouble also. The operation was per-
'Ormed to relieve the bladder trouble.

JACKSON TO COPY
CAPE'S AUTO Law
Counselor A. NJ. Spradling Will
Use Tribune as His Working
Draft OF Bill.

The Cape's new automobile ordin-
ance embodying the muller feature to-
gether with the additional SIS license
on jitney BUSES and auto-trucks used
for hire, has made a hit in Jackson.
The Cape law will be adopted almost
unchanged in Jackson, if the counsels
of their City Counselor, Albert N.
Spreading, are needed.
Mr.. Spradling was in the Cape yes
terday afternoon attending the meet
ing of the Cape County Bar Associa-
ton and after the session in the court
house, he applied at the Office of R. w.
Frssell, city clerk, for copy of the
Cape's automobile ordinance.
Mr.. Spradling was given a copy of
The Tribune in which the complete or
dinance was printed yesterday.
'This will suit my purposes in great
shape" the Counselor remarked, as he
folded the newspaper carefully and put
it in his pocket.
81 think that We will adopt every
thing that is in the Cape's ordinance
with the single exception of the pro-
visions requiring light DINNERS on the
head lights. l believe we will allow
the lights to shine the same as always
in Jackson, but the noise must be muz-
zled and we are going to make altera-
tons in the license fees we are col
Letting at present.
eve have another purpose to serve"
Mr.. Spreading said, gin putting the SIS
fee on the auto passenger cars and
drays used for hire than to retaiate
against the Cape's license imposed up
on Jackson car owners.
"The license, as | view it, in reality
is protection against the automobile
man who is in the business of hiring
out his machines as regularly consti-
tuted business.
an the winter time, we have sew
eral farmers living west of Jackson
who own cars and who use them to
haul passengers from Jackson to va
rious towns around US, in competition
with the regular auto-line men. When
their farm work commences in the !
spring their duties there are so exact
ing that they do not have the time to
devote to the auto work, the city auto
man gets his proper proportion of the
business.

tax upon those farmers cars. If it |
has the effect of holding them out of !
The business, the man who is in the
auto business permanently will get a
distinct benefit from the license fec"

ST. LOUIS u. TAKES
End GAME 80 TO Is
BillikeHs Outplay Normal Basket
Ball Five In Fast
Contest.

The Billikens, the st. Louis Univer
sity basket ball team, last night
swamped the Cape Normals in the sec.
Ond game of their series by a score OF
80 to Is. The game was much faster
and better played in every department
than the initial performance Friday
night when the st. Louisans won by &
score of 20 to IL.
The Cape boys were out-played by
their faster opponents and if anything
the breaks in the luck went against
the COurleuX machine. The Normal
boys showed lack Of practice in goal
shooting, when several trials were
missed and the Biliikcn forwards hit
the basket almost unerringly.
For the most part the visitors made
their scores on long shots from the
floor, whereas the Normal players at
tempted to work the ball in closer to
the goal before attempting a shot. The
long shots were successful by the St.
Louis men. Hansel put four goals into
the basket and DOnohoc and Gleason,
the captain, each were responsible for
three of the goals.
Captain Parker of the Normal team
did the most scoring for the local
team. The st. Louisans had ten fouls
called upon them by the referee and
three of them were made good by
scores by Parker.
The Normal men had but six fouls
called upon them throughout the game
and Hansel, the little forward on the
Billiken team, made each foul count
by dropping the ball through the bas-
ket on free throw.
At the start of the contest, the Bill
likens began the scoring with a series
Of about four goals. The Normals fol-
lowed this up with two goals and for
several minutes the two teams played
evenly without either side making a
score.
The Billikens began the scoring
again with four more goals and these
were quickly followed by two more by
the Cape lads. That ended the scoring
that half and it was in favor of the st.
Louisans, Is to s.
The playing was about the same in
the second half of the game, the Bill
iIens landing several lucky shots and
consistently handling the ball in better
shape than the Normal players.
The lineup and summary of the
score was as follows:

Mrs. ]. \. cason.

Mrs. Annie Cason, beloved wife of
Rev. j. H. Cason. died in Lexington
last Sunday morning at 4:42 o'clock
in the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Murray Roach, (nee Bertha Ballard)
after illness from internal cancer
dating from February. 1915, from
which illness she had been confined
constantly to her bed since the first
day of last January. Mrs. Cason's
suffering was so great that death
must have been to her as sweet re-
lief. Mrs. Cason had reached the
age of fifty-six years on the fifth
day of last December and previous
to the disability which seized her
early in last year, had always been
a woman of remarkable vitality, in
dustry and energy.
In h, death OF Mrs. Cason, who
for many years had been a valued
friend to the editor of this paper, we
feel the deepest sympathy for the
surviving and devoted husband and
the son and daughter, (Mr. Sebe
Ballard and Mrs. Murray Roach)
all Of whom have likewise, years
ago, won warm places in the heart
of the writer, his family and CO.
workers on The PROGRESS.
The funeral service was held at
10 o'clock last Monday morning,
conducted by Reys. Fred H. Peoples
and H. c. Johnson, respectively,
present and former pastor Of the
Lexington Southern Methodist churh

Der. We could not, in words. pay
too high tribute to the beauty and
worth Of the Christian character Of
the splendid woman who has been
prematurely called to her reward
for the life led here-her devotion
to the spiritual and temporal re-
sponsibilities resting upon her.
By special arrangement this short
tribute to the life and memory Of
Mrs. Cason will be followed by a
fitting obituary, which will be pre-
pared by one who knew her worth
and has at hand the data covering
the events in her not long but ex-
and useful life.

Chancellor Ross came over from
jackson Wednesday and finished Up
the work Of the April term Of the
Chancery court. Several cases have
been disposed Of by the Chancellor
and several others Of complicated
nature have been continued under
orders of reference. Chancellor Ross
is in fine physical condition and
seems to enjoy the vast volume of
business which he has to carry in
the twelve counties Of the Eighth
Chancery Division. All of the law
yers have been able to be present
in the court and, taken as a whole,
the April term has been a very
pleasant one.
The protracted services in the M.
E. church South, after running two
weeks closed Sunday night and the
Pastor, Rev. Fred H. Peoples, feels
that the interest shown by the
church membership coupled with
the excellent congregations favorine
by their presence the night services
made the entire meeting
a success. The meeting during
which all the preaching was done
by the Pastor, brought an early OPP
portunity for our people to discover
the zeal and ability Of the compare
lively young minister sent by the
to serve the church this
year.
