Brilliant Climax of Templars’
Conclave in Chicago.
TRIENNIAL A BIG SUCCESS.
Acting Grand Waster Mellsh In Com-
mand and Noted Masone From
Different Parts of the
World Present
Chicago.—Fifty thousand Knights
Templar, garbed In the hntidsome uni-
form of the order, wearing Its glitter-
ing Jewels and carrying drawn Bworda,
marched through elaborately decor-
ated streets of Chicago Tuesday, Aug
9, passing beneath great arches and
before a reviewing stand four blocks
long, crowded with the lending ofH-
clals of the order and tho wives and
families of the sir knights. Forty two
brass bands made music for the
marchers, and nil along the route they
were cheered by the thousands of
peoplo who had assembled to witness
tho spectacle.
This magnificent parade was the
climax, In a spectacular way, of the
thirty-first triennial conclave of
Knights Templar, which opened hero
on Sunday, Aug. 7. In accordance
with the time honored custom of the
grand encampment, the doings of tho
week began with divine service.
The sir knights selected Orchestra
ball for this purpose and entirely filled
the body of that hall to listen to a
6ermon on "Templarism" delivered by
the first grand stand, one half mile in
length, and this needed no decora-
tions, for It was filled to Its capacity
mainly with ladles whose beautiful
summer costumes made it like a vnst
garden. About 50,0(10 persons were In
this Immense stand, as at Its center i
was n gorgeous throne on which sat
tho acting grnnd mnster, William
Hromwell Mellsh of Cincinnati, who
became head of the order on the re I
cent death of Grand Master Henry W.
Kugg of Providence, It. I, Mr. Mellsh
will bo regulnrly elected grand master
boforo the close of the conclave.
Just north of tho Art Institute the
parade passed before another review- (
ing stand In which were Mayor Husse,
the city council and the park commls- !
sloncrs.
Beautiful "Templar Way.”
At Washington street tho marchers
turned west to State, where they en-
tered on the "Templar Way." This
stretch extended from Randolph to
Van Huron street nnd was tnado beau-
tiful by a handsome arch and massive
Corinthian columns of pure white
erected thirty-three feet apart on both
sides of the street. Festoons of natur-
al laurel connected the columns, and
tho bright red cross and the shield
and coat of arms of the order were
prominent in tho scheme of decora-
tion.
Moving south to Jackson boulevard,
the knights again turned weHt, and
near the federal building passed be-
fore yet another reviewing stand
which accommodated Governor Deneen
and his staff. Marching north on I,a-
Salle street, the parade passed be-
neath the grand commandery nrch of
pure white which spanned the street
at the La Salle hotel, the headquarters
of the grand coihmandery of Illinois.
Entrancing Scenes at Night.
The scene In the streets at night
was especially beautiful, for nil the
arches, festoons and columns of the
decorative scheme were brilliantly 11-

WILLIAM B. MELISH, ACTING GRAND MASTER.
Rev. Dr. George H. MacAdam of Madi-
son, W'is., in the absence of Sir Knight
George C. Rafter of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
very eminent grand prelate of the
grand encampment. Tho music was
In charge of the grand organist of the
grand commandery of Illinois, the
choir consisting of several male quar-
tets belonging to the order in this
state.
Monday was devoted mainly to the
receiving of the grand and subordinate
commanderies and escorting them to
their hotels.
Parade of The Knights.
The “grand parade" of Tuesday was
the largest parade of Knights Templar
ever held. The preparations were
elaborate and Michigan boulevard was
most elaborately decorated. The sir
knights formed in line of march on
the boulevard south of Thirty-first
6treet, and signal to move was given
by the guns of Battery B, I. N. G., the
detachment for the purpose being
composed of Knights Templar all of
whom are members of the battery.
The same detachment fired the salute
to the grand master.
Marching northward in Michigan
boulevard, the parade passed, near
Hubbard court, beneath an entrance
arch built Id the form of an ancient
battlement with Its towers and tur-
rets. This was Intended to represent
the entrance to the city, and as the
column passed under it, buglers sta-
tioned on its heights heralded the ap-
proach of each grand division.
Next the knights came abreast of
luminated, and on State street, in ad
dition to the "Templar Way," the mer-
chants had put up decorations that
transformed the great shopping dis-
trict into a veritable fairy land.
Undoubtedly the most spectacular
feature of the night display was the
wonderful electric set piece erected
in Grant park on the lake front, re-
producing in colossal size the official
emblem or badge of the conclave. It
was 150 feet high and its 5.000 power-
ful electric lights of varied colors
brilliantly Illuminated all that part of
the city.
Much of the success of the conclave
must be attributed to the efforts of
John D. Cleveland, grand commander
of Illinois and president of the tri-
ennial executive committee. Arthur
MacArthur of Troy. N. Y., is the very
eminent grand generalissimo of the
grand encampment and W. Frank
Pierce of San Francisco the grand
captain general.
Among the most noted of the visit-
ing masons from other lands are: The
Right Hon. the Earl of Euston, pro
grand master of the great priory of
England and Wales; the Lord Athlum-
ney, past great constable; Thomas
Fraser, great marshal; R. Newton
Crane, past great herald; F. C. Van
Duzer, past great standard bearer:
H. J. Homer, acting grand master ban-
ner bearer; John Fergueson, past pre-
ceptor of England and Wales, and tho
Right Hon. Luther B. Archibald, most
eminent grand master of the great
priory of Canada, and official staff.
Topeka, Aug. 4.—It now seems likely
that the Kansas delegation in th<
lower house of congress will be com
posed of six progressives and t\w
standpatters. Indications point to tin
defat of Thomas A. McNeal by a snial
majority.
Stubbs Vote Growing.
Tho indications from the Incomplet*
returns, on which estimates are based
are that W. R. Stubbs has carried tin
slate for governor by 25.000. It ina>
go to 30,000. Returns from 56 counties
were received today in sufficient num
bers to figure percentages and make
estimates of the probable majorities.
In the First District.
At noon the returns, practically com
plete, gave D. R. Anthony for congress
Is the First Kansas district, a ma
Jority over T. A McNeal of 1,059. The
official returns will only slightly re
duce this majority.
Anthony has carried tho following
counties by approximately these ma
jorities: Leavenworth, SOo; Atchison
1,224; Brown, 2u ; Doniphan, 435;
Jackson, 25; a total of majorities of
3,734.
McNeal has carried Nemaha county
by 250; Jefferson. 225; Shawnee. 2,200;
a total of majorities of 2,675, giving
Anthony a clear majority in the dis
trlct of 1,059.
In the Second district the fight Is
close, but Mitchell's defeat of Scott Is
practically assured. Mitchell has car
rled Wyandotte. Douglas and Frank
lin by so large majorities that Scott’s
vote In the smaller counties cannot
over come it
In the Third Campbell will have al
most the usual Republican vote.
In the Fourth district Fred S. Jack-
Fon is running away with Miller, car
rying Morris county, Miller's home, by
a good majority and it is estimated
that Jackson will have at least 3,000
votes to spare.
Calderhead is defeated in the Fifth
by more than 1,000. He carried his
own town by only 60 votes, the com
plet6 returns giving Calderhead 118
and Rees 62 in Marysville. Rees is
running like a scared wolf in every
county in the district, the returns
showing a probable majority of 2 to 1

ties and small maporities in Republic
and Clay counties. The other counties
have not reported returns of much
value.
In the Sixth District Young, Insur-
gent, has carried Lincoln, Jewell and
counties by safe majorities and he's
probably beaten both Reeder and
Hnys B. White, his opponents.
In the Seventh district Madison,
progressive, had no opposition, nor did
Murdock, progressive in the Eight.

hibitionists in their primary Per-

party.
Leo Meyer, assistant secretary of
state, made a statement today ac-
knowledging that his opponent. Ben F.
Harrison of Colvin, had defeated him
for the Democratic nomination for sec-
retary of state, and ascribed this to

fined to his office during the primary

"What have you to say to this charge
of bigamy; why did you have so many
wives?”
“Well, Judge, I expected to weed
out a few of them later."
It Was the Other Way.
“Mr. Jones,” said the senior partner
In the wholesale dry goods house to
the drummer who stood before him In
the private office, “you have been
with us for the past ten years.”
“Yes, sir.”
"And you ought to know the rules
of the house. One of them is that no
man of ours shall take a side line.”
"But I have none, sir.”
“But you havo lately got married."
“Yes; but can you call that a side
line, Mr. Jones?"
"Technically, it may not be."
“You needn’t fear that having a
wife is going to bring me in off a trip
any sooner."
"Oh, I don’t. It is the fear that
having a wife at home you’ll want to
stay out on the road altogether!”

Fine School.
“Your daughter should attend my
school of education."
"She shan’t! She’s attended one,
and she’s positively—’’
“Ah, but I teach a new system.
When my pupils are asked to recite
they are trained to refuse.”
A COOL
PROPOSITION
And a Sure One.
The Body Does Not Feel Heat
Unpleasantly if it has
Proper Food—
Grape=Nuts
People can live in a temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating tho diet.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use a goodly allowance of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a Bauccr containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with a ltttlo rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meagor amount of butter, nnd one
cup of well-rnado I’ostum.
By this selection of food the bodily
energy Is preserved, w hile the hot, car-
bonaceous foods havo been left out.
The result is a very marked difference
In tho temperature of tho body, and
to this comfortable condition is added
tho certainty of ease and perfect diges-
tion, for the food being partially pre-
digested is quickly assimilated by tho
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment in food,
and Its application lo the human body
lias brought out those facts. 'they
can be made use of and add materially
to the comfort of the user.
