Few of those who visited the place had any previous idsa of the magnificent home which the assooi- ation has been able to erect through the generosity and public apiritness of the citizens of Council Bluffs and thelr sur- prise was only equaled by the pleasure with which they viewed the completness of the arrangemel.s and equipment of the magnificent new home of the association The reception last night was as it will be tonight and Saturday night, purely informal, and this made it all the more enjoyahle President F.

Now it happened that Evans had pald his tax by having it worked out last fall, but in some manner it had not been entered on the col- lector's books as pald.

W, Silkett Assaults Dr. Roller Pays Fine. The trouble which has been brewing in Winner court, Tribe of Ben Hur, over the efforts_ of the supreme officers to depose Mrs. Myrtle L. Siikott, the regularly elec ed soribe, from that position, reached an acute stage at the mecting Wednesday night. Mrs. Silkett's supporters were out In full force apd they demonstrated thelr confidence In her by electing her ehief to succeed Dr. W. B. Roller. Following the election some feeling be- tween the two factions was shown and the dispute ended by Dr. Roller being as- saulted by J. W. Silkett, husband of the newly-elected chief. Dr. Roller was knocked down and until some of the eooler heads interfered and separated the com- batants there was for a short while a gen- eral mix up between the two factions. Yesterday morning Silkett appeared In police court and plended guilty to assault and battery on Dr. Roller and Judge Sny- der assessed him $25 and costs, which Silkett promptly patd. Mrs. Silkett on being elected chief an- nounced her resignation as scribe, but owing to the confusion which prevailed the court falled to take action on It. Mrs. Silkett will probably continue to fill the office of scribe until January 1, when she will be installed chlef. In the meantimo the injunction secured by Mrs. Sllkett in the superior court restrains Mrs. Eis.e Ehlers, who was appointed by the supreme officers to supersede Mrs. Siikett as soribe, from assuming the dutles of the office or collecting dues from the membes. The other officers elected Wednes night were: Judge, Mrs. Sadle Cottmefer; teacher, Mrs. Jennle Wilson; scribe, Mrs Rose Ware; keeper of tribute, Mrs, Agnes Gregerson; captaln, Orrin Hunt; gu.de, May Melkiejohn; inner gatekeeper, Mrs. Lillle Randall; outer gatekeeper, Mary Evart.
