Mc- IZE STRONG LODGE Comb uncle. his mothers broth: The organization of the Odd Fellows lodge at Hardin last Saturday evening marked the advent into this community of a strong fraternal lodge, and the lodge has before it as bright a prospect as any other ever or- ganized. The preperations which were arranged by the members of the order living in this vicini- ty were without fault or criticism and were carried out to the letter in a'very creditable manner. The members who had obtain- ed cards from their former lodges assembled at the hall at 8 p. m., and with the assistance of Messrs. Stoddard and John- ston of the Billings lodge per- fected the organization appoint- ing the following officers: S. P. G. W. E. Fearis. N. G.—Chas. Danielson. V. G. --Chas. Eder. R. S.—John J. Morgan. F. S. —Henry Werta. Treas. —John Boylan. Recess was then declared and the newly organized order re- paired to the Burlington depot to meet the members of the Bill- ings lodge, whose degree team had been arranged font° do the initiatory work. The arrival of the train brought forty members, including the Cantons,of the Bill- ings lodge, who lead by the Har- din band were escorted to the hall, where seventeen candidates awaited to be intruduced into the mysteries of Odd Fellowship. The work of initiation began shortly after ten and was com- pleted just before twelve. A second recess was declared and the entire body repaired to the Thomas hall where the ladies of the members of the newly or- ganized lodge were waiting to serve one t of the finest luncheon ever sere A Hardin. The tables weie neatly and artistical- ly arranged, the Hardin ladies showing their usual good taste in their art of arrangement. Direct- ly following luncheon the entire body returned to the half w:lere the three degrees were conferred on tbe new candidates by the Billings degree team which did heir we,rk very impressively. The team returning to Billings on the morning train. The new lodge is a healthy youngster, having a charter membership of 50 members, which is composed largely cf the representative men of the vicini- ty.

XAVIER Special to the Tribune - St. Xavier, April 24—On Easter Sunday St. Xavier Mission in the Big Horn valley was the center of all the ecclesiastical festivity in the country. As usual the miscaion had planned an appro- priate celebration for the closing of the Lenten season, End the an: rangements were carried through without a flaw. The excellent weather alls.wed the attendance of unprecedented crowds at both masses and the c:iurz.h was filled t3 overflowing at early and late services. The special music of the Paschal season was rendered by a choir of the Mission girls, and they did credit both to them- selves and to their instructors. The church -was decorated with the papal colors, and the sanctu- ary, banked. as it was with Easter lillies and smilax -entwin- ed emblems of the day, was a, beautiful sight indeed. Mr. McKean, the new super- intendent of the government school at Crow Agency was pre- sent with about twenty-five of the girls of the school and their Matron, Miss Anna Coady. Miss Hunter of riffling and Miss Dakin of the Agency rode over with Mr. McKean. In the morning at half past five the Indians began to assem- ble around the mission, and at six -thirty the church was filled and many were standing outside the doors. They had come from Pryor, Lodge Grass, and Rome had come from far off Wyola. Every point on the reservation was represented. At half past ten the crowd was substantially increased by many who had been unable to reach the church in time for the earlier services. Rev. A. Vrebosch gave an ap- propriate and touching sermon on the resurection of our Lord in English and in Crow, and after the mass was concluded an en- joyable open air concert was rendered by the boys band of the mission. The children left at noon for a three days vacation and the grand festival of Easter was concluded. Mr. McKean and his party drove home Monday morning after a highly enjoyable holiday.
