Ho is at the Head of Over Twenty-Six Thousand Members. THE NEXT PYTHIAN ENCAMPMENT. Election of Oficers in Various Orders With a Variety of Information Regarding the Lodges in This City. On Saturday, June 7, the Independent Order of Oddfellows of the state of Towa elected theiv grand lodge officers, and in doing so conferred the highest honor upon one of Council Bluffs worthy citizens, Mr. Louis Biederman, who was chosen to the position of grand master. To be thus placed at the head of 530 lodges and the ruler of wembers, is indeed an honor, and under the peculiar manner of electing officers, as followed in this order, it is an honor which has to be won by merit and by faithful ser- 0 other positions. . Biederman is of German birth, coming to this country as a boy. He served in the avmy of his adopted country, and at the close of the war settied in Philadelphia, e o joined Oddfellowship in 1865, Shilo being his mother lodge. In he joined Museatine lodge, No. 5, in this state, joining by card, and has ever since been an active member of the lowa jurisdic- tion. Iu 1884 ho moved to Columbus June- tion, Ta., and transferred his membership to Columbus City lodge 240, Ten years Iater he united with eighteen others in o ganizing Columbus Junction lodge, where he still retains nis membership. His activity and ability soon caused him 1o pas: all tho chairs, and to appear in grand lodge ' in 1880 as o repre- sentative. Placed on important committees he proved himself so worthy that at this very session he was nominated for grand warden, but he modestly declined the honor, on tho ground that the place should be given to older members. The grand master reco; ), however, by making him his dis ster, ‘in_which position ho sorved with credit, 'At, tho noxt scssion 1581 ho was mad d herald, and at tho samo session was again nominated for grand warden. An older member was elected, Mr. Biederman himself urging his friends to voto for his competitor. In 186 Mr. Biede was elected by acclamation grand mars| and while occupying that positios nominaten for grand warden, with six others. He was elected o 7o three hundrod majority. In 1588 at § City the grand lodge did not see fit to putany « other nomineo in the fleld for deputy g mastol At his installation to tnis of Clarinda in 1839 there was such an ovation as was never bofore seen on such an oc Now he is choso with equal_euthusiasm tho mas Mr. Biedern cil Bluffs in 1857 became a resident of Coun- Hon.

The recent action of the grand lodge of Towa has caused the query to be quite com mon as to what the Cerneai Masons will do about it? Last year the grand master issued edicts to the Corneaus ordering them to re- nounce the Scottish rite, but out of about five hundred in the state only five withdrew from the Scottish vite bodies. Now the severe penalty of expulsion is threatencd. The won- ;s these men who have so far refused to yield their convictions of right ¢ill stand the pressure of this greater threat. thelr ~ manner of ~ speech it seems quite evident that they will refuse to recognize tho ac- tion of the grand lodge as legal or just, and will rather submit to the penalty. Ohe of these so-called Cerneaus was heard to say at do I want to demit from the blue ge fort 1 have belonged to that lod; -four years. 1 have nev o my obligations or been untrue. Sim- ply because the Pike men want to kick me out without any cause or reason, I dont know why I should get out. They cal expel me by but not. by right, and I will never re- what is right.” Many similar expres- sions are heard and it now looks very prob \d master will bo kept bu: this year expelling good and true men, A Charter Restored, Last year when the grand lodge at Sioux City took nction against the Cernean Masons the blue lodge at Macedonia, Ia., passed reso- lutions _expressing the sentiment that the blue lodge had nothing to do with this con- troversy, and that they did not want to be dragged into this controversy. In some way these resolutions found their way into the columns of Tue Bek, and Grand Master Gumble was very indignant. He at onco seized the chartor of this lodge, and held it until the last meeting of the grand lodge, Ho took the posltion that the Macedonia lodge had mo right to find any fault with the action of the grand lodge, ond that still more yus was the offense of allowing any such to pe published in Tur Ber an_ off headline over the articlo which Tus Bee, and the grand master scemed inclined to' hold the Macedouia lodge responsiblo for this also. It was intimated to him that he ought not to h the lodge for an offense committed by : BEr, but for a wonder the grand master did not sce his way clear to assume jurisdic- tion over Tne Beg, The matter was referred to u committee, and at last the charter of the lodge was restored. Macedonin will bo very al now how it expresses any opinion: A F. & A, M, At the annual election of Rawalt lodge No, 138 of Oxford, the following officers wero elected for the ensuing Masonic y W.1 Hamilton, W, M.; J.

The New York Masonic Chronicle publishes a lengthy and elaborate article on De Witt Clinton as a statesman_and a Mason, who, during his lifetime, held the highest Masonic dignities ever within grasp of mortal man, only to be rewarded afterdeath through being branded as a clandestine and irregular body, the personal friend, the Masonic disciple and the ofticial successor of the now denounced Joseph Cerneau, says the New York Mer- cury. Tt is incredible, almost beyond con- ception, that were De Witt Clinton, past grand master of New York, past grand high priest and past general grand master of the gencral encampment of Knights Templar of the United States, in the land of the living at this hour and to prosent_himself as a visitor at_the door of a lodge, chapter or command- ery, in Ohlo, Pennsylvania and some western states, he would find the door of the temple indignantly slammed in his face. ~And what excuse, think you, would be urged in extenu- ation for_such an'affront offered the groatest Mason of his day, the greate: time, the patriofic citizen resigning a seat in the United States senate to become mayor of New York? Simply for that he was head and front of a body of ‘men, his colleagues in the grand lodge and his political associates, one among them his successor in the mayoralty, which misguided grand lodges at dictation of Albert Pike and of Enoch T. Carson hav creod to have been composed of cland and irrogular Masons, believers in Corn ism. The Knights Tomplar Were Infidels The Abbe Robin, in History of Initiations, has with considerable plausibility attributed the origin of modern Freemasonry, not to the ancient , not to the operative guilds of the middle ages, butto the practices of chivalry, especially those borrowed from the orientals and introduced into Europe by the returning crusaders, says Col. Thomas Pic- ton, A.M., P.H.D., L.L.B., in the New York Mercury. It is probably on this account that the Knights Templar have come to bo re- garded as a branch of ancient Masonr: The Templars brought from the east mys- teries long unknown to the populace, until thoy were, in 1307, the cause for abolition of the ancient order. Upou the pretended re- vival of Templarism at the commencement of the last contury, a successful endeavor was made to convert Jacques de Molay and his mpanions into martyrs, burned at the stake upon false testimony. Nevertheless recent researches demonstrated a major portion of tho accusations alleged against them to have been based upon facts. However sincero Christians tho Templar have been at the home of their organization, they grew into conspirators against their - ligious faith and thei pective sovereigns during their Holy Land. They frankly avowe rolations with the Assassins, s, through their mediumship, Baldwin 11, king of Jeru- contracted a treaty with tho “Old the Mountain,” whereby ho enguged M- Man whi it is tianity for G anged Chris’ \osticism. POPE CLEMENT'S OHARGES AGAINST TEMPLA One of the gravest cl Pope Clement against the Templars was th Jornment of o bearded head, to which th attributed power for creation of fruits and flowers. ‘This figure was a symbol by which the Gnostics represented an eternal iod, the creator. This hoad likewise symbolized the source of human life, and its meaning was so construed when presented to o candidate upon initiation into Templarism, to indicate his entrance upon a new existence throngh a ceremony styled from the Greek name of the aptism through wisdom." was discovered in Ger ears in the tomb of & before persecution of the of talisman bearing Gnostic the square and compass, the celes sphere, o five-pointed star, called Pythag oras’ pentagon, and finally the eight stars of nan me the Gnostic “ogdoade.” From not compre- hending the actual origin_and significance of these symbols, to be found in some degrees of modern Masonry, possibly originated a still prevalent delusion s to the Templars having been, in some inexplics manner, con- nectéd with the craft during the middlo ages. Not lon ice Von Hammer, an_erudite German historian demon- strated in various ess: that the doctriues of the Templars were identic those maintained by tho my of the anti- Christian east. Among othermemorials upon which he relics are two strong boxes, the one found in Burgundy and the other in Tuscany, both originally the property of templar pre- ceptories and used for conservation of their documents, THE REAL TEMPLAR SYMBOLISM. Upon the 1id of one of these coffers was em- blazoned an image of nature under the figure and features of Cybele in entire nudity. In one hand she hold the disk of the sun and in tho other the creseent of the moon, to which ached the ehain of roses, the same as yed in French Masonic lodges and alled_“la houpe dentelec.” At the head laid a death’s head between zon and u star with soven points, in- netary system and the seven fications of the soul in its passage through the seven spheres. Around the umerous inscriptions in Arabic the lateral faces vurious subjects, app y alluding to the ceremonie: of initiation, such as the ordeals of fire and water, adoration of new-born nature and the of tho bull of Mithras. On the other coffer were inseribed analogous in- dications, relative to the initiatory tests, the calf of the Druces and the cross of the Erypt- 1ans with civcular handle.
