appointment of a deputy, and that he had made none, but, Diogenes-like, awaiting the finding, as he says, 'of some worthy member' whom he could appoint." In 1876 Jervis W. Carter, of Nebraska Lodge, No. I, of Omaha, was ap- pointed deputy supreme chancellor for Dakota. Under date of July 14, 1876, Mr. Carter re- ported, writing from Canton, Dakota territory, that he instituted a lodge at Yankton "about February 20, 1876, with sixteen members." It appears several of the members migrated to the Black Hills, weakening the lodge, and a second meeting of this lodge was never held. All ef- forts to revive this lodge having proved futile, the remnants of the lodge properties were se- cured by Arthur C. Phillips, grand keeper of records and seal, and on October 30, 1889, he instituted Phoenix Lodge, No. 34, turning over to it the relics of the first Pythian lodge in Dakota territory.

Yankton's loss appears to have been Dead- wood's gain. On April 13, 1879, the second lodge of the Order of Knights of Pythias in Dakota territory was instituted in Deadwood by L. B. Schoenfield and named Marco Bozzaris, No. 3, with a membership of sixty. On Septem- ber 26, 1879, the lodge room, with all records and property, was destroyed by fire, but meet- ings were resumed on November 24, 1879. A member of this lodge, writing to W. D. Ken- nedy, under date of November 5, 1897, thus de- scribes these pioneer days: "The deputy lived many hundred miles away and we were a hun-

dred miles from the railroad. For several years the only way we received the password was by getting it while I was in the east on business." Commenting on this situation, Brother Kennedy says : "Such was its isolation-but it fought the good fight and is one of the best in the domain."

During the following years seven other lodges were instituted in that portion of the ter- ritory which now constitutes the grand domain of South Dakota, before the organization of the grand lodge of Dakota territory, to-wit :

General Custer Lodge, No. 4, Central City, instituted by Deputy Supreme Chancellor A. S. Stewart, of Deadwood, July 2, 1880, with four- teen members. This lodge had the misfortune to lose all its records by fire on April 25, 1888.

Dakota Lodge, No. 6, of Lead, instituted October 22, 1880, by Deputy Supreme Chan- cellor Stewart, of Deadwood, with nineteen members.

Gate City Lodge, No. 8, of Rapid City, was instituted by Hon. John R. Brennan, deputy supreme chancellor, on January 10, 1883, with thirteen members.

On December 4, 1883, Ivanhoe Lodge, No. 9, of Huron, was also instituted by Deputy Su- preme Chancellor Brennan, with twenty-four members. This lodge was, on April 14, 1886, declared defunct, and the name Ivanhoe given to Lodge No. 41, at Dell Rapids.

Castle Lodge, No. 10, of Chamberlain, was instituted December 28, 1883. This lodge also became defunct, but in January, 1886, a new lodge was instituted by Deputy Supreme Chan- cellor A. H. Daniels, who reported as follows : "It was really a new lodge, as I declared the lodge defunct, and proceeded to institute the new one."

Damascus Lodge, No. II, of Mitchell, was instituted March 31, 1884, by Deputy Supreme Chancellor A. H. Daniels, with twelve mem- bers.

Dauntless Lodge, No. 13, of Brookings, was instituted February 6, 1885, but on record of its membership is available. The only relic among the archives is an old ledger, and on the fly-leaf,

in the handwriting of Arthur C. Phillips, then grand keeper of records and seal, is the follow- ing legend: "This lodge was declared defunct by Grand Chancellor J. F. Edmonds, on July 26, 1889." On May 22, 1894, an effort was made to organize as a successor to Dauntless Lodge, Peerless Lodge, No. 61, but, like its predecessor, it soon became defunct, and was so declared on December 24, 1900.

These were the lodges,-nine in number, --- together with four lodges existing in that por- tion of Dakota territory which now constitutes the state of North Dakota, which through their representatives, in the city of Huron, on April 30, 1885, met and organized the grand lodge Order of Knights of Pythias for the domain of Dakota territory. While Dakota was under the direct supervision of the supreme lodge the deputy supreme chancellors in charge of that territory were as follows, in the order named : Jervis W. Carter, a past grand chancellor from Nebraska Lodge, No. I, of Omaha; D. J. Tallant, a member of Grand Forks Lodge, No. 2; John R. Brennan, who by historian W. D. Kennedy is described as follows: "John R. Brennan, who came from Colorado, was a faith- ful, earnest and efficient officer. To him was due the salvation of the order in Dakota at that time." Continuing, Mr. Kennedy says : "Brother John Westdahl, of Huron, was the last deputy, and he also did good service."

The convention was called to order in Castle Hall of Ivanhoe Lodge in Huron, at three o'clock P. M., by Deputy Supreme Chancellor John Westdahl, who introduced Hon. John Van Valkenberg, of Iowa, supreme chancellor of the world, to preside. (Souvenir History of the Knights of Pythias, by Arthur C. Phillips, grand keeper of records and seal.) The organization was completed by the appointment of the follow- ing officers of the Lodge of Emergency: J. E. Elson, past supreme chancellor; John Van Valkenberg, supreme chancellor; John West- dahl, supreme vice-chancellor; W. T. Collins, supreme prelate; C. B. Ambrose, supreme mas- ter of exchequer ; D. H. Metcalf, supreme keeper

After conferring the grand lodge rank, the following officers were elected and duly in- stalled : Past grand chancellor, Russell W. Cutts, of Grand Forks; grand chancellor, George J. Love, Huron; grand vice-chancellor, J. F. Edmonds, of Deadwood; grand prelate, W. T. Collins, of Grand Forks; grand master of ex- chequer, A. H.

Sturgeon, of Chamberlain ; grand outside guard, J. S. Gantz, of Rapid City ; supreme representatives, John Westdahl, of Huron; Albert G. Clark, of Steele.

Constitutions for the grand and subordinate lodges were adopted at this meeting. The secret work of the order was exemplified by the supreme chancellor, after which the first grand lodge, Knights of Pythias, of Dakota ter- ritory, duly adjourned.

The second grand lodge convened June 15, 1886, in Rapid City. Six new lodges had been instituted during the year, viz: Kimball, No. 14. at Kimball (charter surrendered February 10, 1892); Tristocotyn, No. 17, Watertown; Granite, No. 18, Sioux Falls; Wahpeton, No. 20, Wahpeton; Fidelity, No. 21, Woonsocket ; Calanthe, No. 22, Miller. During the year the

Daniels, Mitchell; grand prelate, Frank E. Ketchum, Huron; grand keeper of records and seal, C. L. Davis, Brookings; grand master of exchequer, Jay Wellman, Chamberlain ; grand master-at-arms, W. R. Arnold, Watertown; grand inner guard, J. A. Ebel, Wahpeton ; grand outer guard, J. S. Gantz, Rapid City.

The third meeting of the grand lodge was held in Watertown, commencing June 21, 1887. The grand chancellor reported continuing in- terest and activity within the order and four new lodges : Ivy, No. 23, Redfield; Cyprus, No. 24, Alexandria; Armour, No. 25, Armour; and Malta, No. 26, Faulkton. The officers elected at this session were: Grand chancellor, H. E. Gates, Kimball: grand vice-chancellor, W. R. Arnold, Watertown; grand prelate, E. W.

The fourth grand lodge, being an adjourned meeting, was held at Wahpeton (now North Dakota), August 21, 1888. During the year Damon Lodge, No. 5, at Fargo, had been re- organized and two new lodges instituted, Gettys- burg, No. 27, at Gettysburg, and Harmony, No. 28, at Plankinton. The election of officers resulted as follows: Grand chancellor, W. R. Arnold, Watertown; grand vice-chancellor, George D. Swaine, Wahpeton ; grand prelate, R. D.

viz: Crystal, No. 29, at Valley Springs, March 27, 1889, and Minot, No. 30, at Minot (N. D.), June 7, 1889. With approaching statehood for South and North Dakota, preliminary steps were taken towards the organization of separate grand lodges for the new states. The grand officers elected and installed were: Grand chancellor, J. F. Edmonds, Deadwood; grand vice-chancellor, F. R. Bangs, Grand Forks ; grand prelate, Alex- ander Jacobson, Huron; grand keeper of records and seal, Arthur C. Phillips, Sioux Falls ; grand master of exchequer, F. H. Bean, Huron; grand master-at-arms, D. O. Root, Woonsocket; grand inner guard, W. E. Tipton, Armour ; grand outer guard, W. J. Hall, Alexandria.

The sixth and last convention of the grand lodge of Dakota was held in Mitchell June 17, 1890. Grand Chancellor Edmonds reported an era of unusual activity during the past year, having "traveled over seven thousand miles on Pythian work," having personally "conferred over five hundred ranks." In this work he was ably supported by Grand Keeper Records and Seal A. C. Phillips. Eleven new lodges had been instituted during the year, being "about seventy per cent." increase in the membership of the order.

In this brief account it is neither necessary nor proper to dwell upon the controversy relat- ing to the legality of the dissolution of the grand lodge of Dakota and the formation of the two new grand lodges. On June 18th, "after a progressive career of five years, one month and twelve days, the grand lodge of Dakota was formally declared dissolved by the grand chancellor."

At 4:30 o'clock P. M., on June 18, 1890, "in accordance with the directions and by the au- thority of the supreme chancellor, Knights of Pythias of the World," a provisional supreme lodge was called to order by A. C. Phillips, past grand keeper records and seal, and Past Grand Chancellor John R. Brennan was requested to preside. The following lodges in South Dakota were represented by past chancellors: Marco Bozzaris, No. 3, Deadwood ; General Custer, No. 4, Central City ; Dakota, No. 6, Lead City; Gate

City, No. 8, Rapid City ; Castle, No. 10, Cham- berlain ; Damascus, No. 11, Mitchell; Syracuse, No. 16, Huron: Trishocotyn, No. 17, Water- town; Granite, No. 18, Sioux Falls; Fidelity, No. 21, Woonsocket; Calanthe, No. 22, Miller ; Armour, No. 25, Armour; Harmony, No. 28, Plankinton: Crystal, No. 29, Valley Springs ; Minnekahta, No. 32, Hot Springs; Vermillion, No. 33, Vermillion : Phoenix, No. 34, Yankton; Mystic, No. 40, Madison; Ivanhoe, No. 41, Dell Rapids ; Hesperian, No. 42, Elk Point.

On June 19th the following officers, having been duly elected, were installed by acting Su- preme Chancellor Brennan : Grand past chancel- lor, W. C. Graybill; grand chancellor, Arthur C. Phillips ; grand vice-chancellor, Frank Abt ; grand prelate, C. A. Maxon; grand keeper of records and seal, WV. E. Tipton; grand master of exchequer, E. H. West; grand master-at- armıs. A. D. Keller; grand inner guard, W. H. Munroe ; grand outer guard, George A. Silsby ; supreme representatives, John R. Brennan and B. R. Howell; grand trustees, C. M. Runkle, Julian Bennett and D. O. Root. Whereupon the grand lodge of South Dakota was declared legally instituted. According to the official re- ports for the term ending December 31, 1889, the membership of the order was : South Dakota, 783: North Dakota, 213; total, 996.

The second annual convention was held at Madison, commencing June 2, 1891. During the year a vast amount of work for the good of the order had been performed by the grand chancellor. Two new lodges were instituted: Myrtle Lodge, No. 43, at Clark, with a charter list of twenty, and Tin Center, No. 44, with twenty charter members. The Uniform Rank of the order was reported in a flourishing con- dition. During the preceding thirteen months, six divisions were organized, while preliminary steps were taken for many others. The num- ber of lodges in good standing at this time was thirty-one. The following officers were installed for the ensuing term: Grand chancellor, W. E. Tipton; grand vice-chancellor, A. D. Kellar ; grand prelate, C. A. Maxon; grand keeper of records and seal, U. S. G. Cherry ; grand master

of exchequer, J. A. Trow; grand master-at- arms, W. H. Timerhoff ; grand inner guard, J. C. Calder ; grand outer guard, A. E. Witting.

The third annual convention opened in Pierre June 7, 1892, at the capitol building, in the hall of representatives. Like his predecessor, Grand Chancellor Tipton had been called upon to render a large number of decisions on points raised under the new constitution. The order was fortunate in having during the early days of its existence, in the most prominent positions, men who were so pre-eminently qualified to dis- charge their duties with enthusiasm, fidelity and great ability. During the year lodges had been established as follows : Damon, No. 45, Bryant ; Apollo, No. 46, Springfield; Tyndall, No. 47, Tyndall; Security, No. 48, Scotland; Triangle, No. 49, Howard; Monte Christo, No. 50. Beresford; Malta, No. 26, Faulkton ; Ivy, No. 23, Redfield,-the last two named being reorganization of lodges that had practically be- come defunct. For the ensuing year the follow- ing officers were elected and installed: Grand chancellor, U. S. G. Cherry; grand vice-chan- cellor, W. H. Timmerhoff ; grand prelate, J. C. Calder ; grand master of the exchequer, J. A. Trow ; grand keeper of records and seal, A. E. Witting; grand master-at-arms, D. P. Cree ; grand inner guard, J. W. McDonald; grand outer guard, C. E. Warner.

The fourth annual convention was held in Chamberlain June 6, 1893. Grand Chancellor Cherry reported the following additions to the roster during the year : Banner, No. 51 ; Canton, No. 52; Menno, No. 53; Centerville, No. 54; Aberdeen, No. 55; Gettysburg, No. 27, re- instated; Columbia, No. 56; Monitor, No. 57; Eureka, No. 58. Never had the grand lodge of this state, or its predecessor, the grand lodge of Dakota, met under such favorable financial conditions. The receipts of the past year were reported largely in excess of the receipts of any previous year in the history of the order. The total membership of the order, December 31, 1892, was 1,763, and a gain of 411 during the year. For the ensuing year the following officers were elected and installed: Grand chan-

cellor, A. E. Witting; grand vice-chancellor, E. C. Walton; grand prelate, J. W. Riley ; grand master of exchequer, J. A. Trow; grand keeper of records and seal, J. C. Calder, grand master- at-arms, J. W. McDonald; grand inner guard, F. E. Davol, grand outer guard, S. Winter.

In the city of Aberdeen, on June 21, 1894, the officers and representatives of the order con- vened for the fifth annual session of the grand lodge. The postponement from June 5th, the day fixed by the constitution, was for the pur- pose of enabling Supreme Chancellor Blackwell to attend the grand lodge in this domain. Since the last meeting of the grand lodge the follow- ing lodges had been organized: Star Lodge, No. 59, Wakonda; Pythias, No. 60, at Salem; Peer- less, No. 61, at Brookings (reorganized). For the ensuing term the following officers were in- stalled : Grand chancellor, Charles T. Howard; grand vice-chancellor, William M. Lyon; grand prelate, Rev. Henry Wilson; grand keeper of records and seal, C. E. Warner ; grand master of exchequer, J. A. Trow; grand master-at-arms, F. E. Davol; grand inner guard, F. L. Jack- son ; grand outer guard, William S. Mitchell.

The sixth annual session convened in Cham- berlain June 4, 1895. The grand chancellor, among other things, reported as follows: "At the commencement of my term the discouraging financial conditions of the state were such that it seemed almost impossible to add to the roster of lodges in this domain. * *

* Much time ånd labor has been expended." The grand keeper of records and seal says: "The year just closed has been a remarkable one. The general financial depression of the country, to- gether with the almost total failure of crops throughout our state, has been a clog upon the wheels of Pythian enthusiasm that has much re- tarded the rapid pace we have been making for the past few years." However, two new lodges had been instituted, Hudson Lodge, No. 62, at Hudson, and Edgemont. No. 63, at Edgemont. The condition of the Endowment Rank of the domain was reported as follows: Number of sections, 20; number of members, 144; amount of endowment, $240,000, being an increase dur-

ing the year of 84 members. Shortly after the close of the grand lodge session of 1894, Major General James R. Carnahan, of Indianapolis, Indiana, visited the state and organized the First Regiment, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. The increase in membership was reported "very fair during the year, but we have lost heavily from suspensions from non-payment of dues. This is but natural in a year like this." The following officers were installed: Grand chan- cellor, A. D. Keller; grand vice-chancellor, F. E. Davol; grand prelate, J. Carl Southwick; grand keeper of records and seal, C. E. Warner ; grand master of exchequer, J. E. Platt; grand master-at-arms, William Mitchell; grand inner guard, E. H. Benedict ; grand outer guard, G. B. Enos.

The seventh annual session was held in Yankton, commencing June 3, 1896. During the year Coteau Lodge, No. 64, at Wilmot, was instituted. Speaking of the prevailing condi- tions throughout the country, the grand chan- cellor said: "The state of the order in this do- main is as good as it could possibly be expected. The past year has been one of the hardest years financially that this county has ever experienced, or as it probably will ever experience again. It seemed that it was all many of us could do to keep soul and body together, and that every dollar that could be secured in any manner was necessary for our families. *

* * The order has at least held its own. That is to say, we have gained as many, if not more, in membership than we have lost." The report of the grand keeper of records and seal for the year ending December 31. 1895, showed total number of members 1,898: loss during the year 95. During the year the following lodges surrendered their charters : Star, No. 59, at Wakonda ; Menno, No. 53, at Menno; Apollo, No. 46. at Springfield ; Tyndall, No. 47, at Tyndall. For the ensuing year the following officers were elected and in- stalled by Past Grand Chancellor C. T. Howard : Grand chancellor, Charles N. Herreid; grand vice-chancellor, F. E. Davol; grand prelate, E. H. Benedict; grand keeper of records and seal, C. E. Warner; grand master of exchequer, J.

E. Platt; grand master-at-arms, William S. Mitchell; grand inner guard, G. B. Enos; grand outer guard, Charles M. Caton.

The eighth annual session convened in Sioux Falls June 2, 1897. The official record notes the fact that before the formal opening of the grand lodge "prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. Jordan, pastor of the First Methodist church of Sioux Falls,"-the first instance of the kind of which a record had been made in the history of the order in this domain. The report of the com- mittee on credentials showed an unusually large attendance. The grand chancellor, among other things, reported: "In view of the terrible financial depression the growth of the order in new membership during the year has been re- markable. There are several places ripe for the institution of new lodges." During the session the grand chancellor presented to Malta Lodge, No. 26, at Faulkton, a beautiful large silk ban- ner in token of excellence manifested by this lodge during his term. The new grand lodge officers were installed by Past Grand Chancellor Keller: Grand chancellor, F. E. Davol; grand vice-chancellor, E. H. Benedict ; grand prelate, C. H. Cassill: grand keeper of records and seal, C. E. Warner; grand master of exchequer, J. E. Platt; grand master-at-arms, Charles M. Caton ; grand inner guard, G. B. Enos ; grand outer guard, F. S. Emerson.

On the first day of June, 1898. the ninth an- nual session convened in Watertown. During the year two new lodges had been organized : Webster, No. 65, at Webster, and Reservation, No. 66, at Sisseton. The grand keeper of records and seal reported: "We have sustained a net loss during the year of ninety members, but in- cluded in this loss is the membership of Rath- bone Lodge. No. 39, whose charter was sus- pended." Past Grand Chancellor Herreid pre- sented the following resolution : "Whereas, the Order of Knights of Pythias is of all orders the most thoroughly American; it represents 'one country, one language, one flag'; its principles are most thoroughly in touch with the spirit of our free institutions ; it is most appropriate that as an order we should conspicuously honor the

532

HISTORY OF SOUTH DAKOTA.

flag of our country. Therefore, resolved, that every subordinate lodge in this grand domain is hereby directed to display the American flag at every regular meeting of the lodge." The reso- lution was unanimously adopted. The following officers were installed by Past Supreme Repre- sentative W. E. Tipton: Grand chancellor, F. S. Emerson; grand vice-chancellor, E. H. Benedict; grand prelate, C. M. Caton; grand keeper of records and seal, C. E. Warner ; grand master of exchequer, J. E. Platt ; grand master- at-arms, H. C. Burch; grand inner guard, G. B. Enos ; grand outer guard, H. E. Cutting.

The tenthi annual session of the grand lodge was held at Sioux Falls, commencing June 7, 1899. The grand chancellor reported : "As a rule the lodges under your jurisdiction are in a healthy condition. I have had correspondence in relation to organizing new lodges, but in each case, the failure to organize could be attributed to hard times." The grand chancellor reported the following new lodges: General Terry, No. 67, at Terry; Gold Center, No. 68, at Keystone ; Spearfish Lodge, No. 69, at Spearfish, and that a warrant had been issued for the institution of a lodge at Hazel. During the year ending De- cember 31, 1898, there was a net gain of 169 members. During the year considerable interest had been manifested in the Uniform Rank. The following officers were installed: Grand chan- cellor, J. E. Platt ; grand vice-chancellor, C. M. Caton; grand prelate, H. C. Burch; grand keeper of records and seal, J. Carl Southwick; grand master of exchequer, C. H. Cassill; grand master-at-arms, J. A. Beck; grand inner guard, W. J. Markham; grand outer guard, J. E. Patten.

The eleventh annual session was held in Huron, commencing June 6, 1900. The grand chancellor reported an increase to January I, 1900, of about sixteen per cent. Also the fol- lowing new lodges: De Morris Lodge, No. 71, Belle Fourche; White Rock, No. 72, at White Rock ; Bowdle, No. 73, at Bowdle; Century, No. 74, at Vienna. "Their membership," says the grand chancellor, "is composed of the best citi- zens of the towns in which they are located,"-

a statement which applies to every lodge of the Order of Knights of Pythias in this domain. During the year Cypress Lodge, No. 24, at Alexandria, experienced a revival. Edgemont, No. 63. voluntarily surrendered its charter. This lodge, in 1898, lost all of its property by fire and it never revived from the shock. The fol- lowing is a list of the officers for the ensuing year : Grand chancellor, Charles M. Caton ; grand vice-chancellor, H. C. Burch ; grand prel- ate. J. C. Kuney; grand keeper of records and seal. J. Carl Southwick ; grand master of excheq- uer, C. H. Cassill; grand master-at-arms, W. J. Markham ; grand inner guard, J. E. Patten ; grand outer guard. C. C. Bras.
