WILL BE ROYALLY ENTERTAINED
-----
GRAND LODGE D. O. H. TO MEET HERE NEXT WEEK
-----
Will be Attended by Forty Delegates--Local Lodge Will Make Things Pleasant for Them
-----
     The local lodge of the Deutshcen Ordnung Harugari will entertain delegates of the lodges all over the state on August 5.
     At that time the state convention of the society will be held in this city. Forty delegates are expected to be in attendance and they will be royally entertained at the American house at the expense of the society in this city.
     After the business meeting, which will occupy the entire day, the visiting delegates will be entertained at Germania hall in the evening. A dance will be given with music furnished by Otto's Knights Templar band. A general entertainment has been arranged by the committee in charge, to make the evening a pleasant one for those who do not trip the light fantastic. There will be speeches by prominent members of the society, music and every other pleasant feature possible to obtain.   
     The Harugari lodge in this city was organized in 1883 and has grown until it now has a membership of 180. J. R. Trojanowski, of this city, is commander of the grand lodge of the state, and Eugene Oesterlin, sr., is financier of the state lodge.
     One of the most admirable features of the society is the sick benefit connected with it, which pays its members $4 a week for six months during sickness and in case of death pays $500 to the family of the deceased. These philanthropic plans are most admirable and have in many cases proven to be of invaluable assistance to bereaved families.
     It is an honor of which Ann Arbor is justly proud to have the D. O. H. select this city as the place for holding their convention this year.
