In May 1587 this lodge was organized with uveuu- eight ¢ members.

Couzzins, the daughter and suc- cessor in oftice of the late mars Couzins. While Marshal Couz fined to his bed, unable to attend to business, his able and loving daughter, Miss Phwebe, attended to it for him.

During Marshal Couzin's illuess a member from each body called regularly each week, paid the weekly benefits and made their reports, It was on one of these ts that the visitor In- formed Miss Phaebe Couzins of dues acerning in both societies. She i ructed him to re- mount sufficient to pay both dues, which he did. The young man_departed and the matter passed out of Miss Couzins’ mind, until after the death of her father, when she cceived notice that he had been suspended from the Mutual Aid association for non-pa ment of dues. Inguiry brought out the f: that the young mun did not fulfill his promise of paying the ducs and the Mutial Aid_asso- ciation now holflnwlhann&‘mnliun. The ques- tion of payment is now in debate and there is some possibility of its being paid without re- course to measures which Miss Couzins says she would dislike very much to take against the association. J. E.D. Couzins was a char- ter member of the Missonri lodge L. O. O. F., organized in St. Louis in 1845. He was also one of the organizers of the Mutual Aid asso- ciution, and never, ns Io\ui as he was & mem- ber, did he fall behind in his dues. ‘Tue LocAL lodgaof (¢ Brothorhood of Loco- motive Firemen is making extensive arrange- ments for their annual ball, which will take pluce November 17, at the Exposition hall, The affair will be ® pleasant one aud all who attend with the expectation of & happy time will not be disappointed.

The work has been going on so quietly that the now assured utilization of the island will be a surprise to the great mass of the people. Some 1,200 acres of this country have been purchased by a syndicate known as the East Omaha Land Company, composed of leading railroad men and real estate dealers in Omaha. It is their intention to increase their possessions by the addition of 800 acres ying near it, and this great tract of 2,000 acres is to bo the future great nmnu'ucturlug quarter of Omaha. The land is high and dry, and the groater portion of it has nover been submerged. In location it is admirably situated for the purpose for which it is intended to utilize it. Its neavest point is only & mile from the Omaha post- Work on the main track is to be com- menced immediately and is to be fin- ished in thirty days. The so-called island is about two milos long and two wide, but it iwno longer an island as it is joined on the southeast with the mainland. It is the intention of the syndicate to put good tur "F‘km around every forty acres, and let the partios to whom the land is sold plat it and make whatever other diviss ons they wish. Some of the factory sites have already been selected, and even spots for future homes have been picked out. Thoe superintendent of the work of improving this tract is in the hands of Potter & Cobb, the enterprising real es- tate firm located in the board of trade building on the corner of Farnam and Sixteenth street. The opening of this island for manu- facturing purposes will be hailed with delight by all far-sighted ens of Omaha, as this assures the permanen prosperity and future greatness of Ly oy Omaba beyond any reasonable doubt.
