[[Improved Order of Red Men]] meeting of Grand Council in [[Wooster, Ohio | Wooster]] next week.  The Grand Council of [[Ohio Improved Order of Red Men]] will hold annual session in [[Wooster, Ohio | Wooster]] on Tuesday and Wednesday next week May 17 and 18 at Knights of Honor Hall in Keefer Iron block, W Liberty Street, which has been secured for a meeting on account of convenience and other advantages.  This will be the 1st meeting of the body ever held in [[Wooster, Ohio | Wooster]] and promises to be an event of some importance to members of all orders in our city.  Committees appointed by Uncas Tribe #57 and arrangements made for entertainment of the visiting brethren while in our city.  A banquet will be served in honor of occasion on Tuesday evening at [[American House]] at which time toasts and responses will be made and good time generally will be had.  It is possible other festivities will be arranged by this committee.  There are at present between 40 and 50 tribes of the order in Ohio and located mainly in central, southern and eastern portions of the state.  The state is divided into 30 districts each of which is entitled to a representation to the Grand Council.  Officers of the Grand Council are elected annually from the past sachems of the various tribes.  History of the order:  In order that a better idea may be had of origins history of order, we pen the following sketch from Red Men’s records of [[Detroit, Michigan | Detroit]].  The institution known as the [[Improved Order of Red Men]], is founded upon the custom usages and traditions and history of aborigines of this continent.  The origin is of the name indicates American.  It is by far the oldest protective and benevolent society of American birth and growth.  It is a secret one in sense that secrecy is right and proper in their matters which concern the  private interests of the common family.  There exist in the recollection of some of the older members of present day, an early tradition popular which points to Ft. Mifflin on Delaware River as the birth place of the society and that sometime during the years 1812-1814 the first council was kindled.  The circumstances which assigns as the stimulating cause of the first organization grew out of bitter animosity which has been engraved between the war and anti war parties during those eventful years.  Some of the influential and patriotic of the volunteers within the fort feeling the apprehension and fear the threatening consequences of the powers at work among those to their country and free institution to the true level of patriotism proposed and effected among the soldiers the organization of a secret society fortified by signs, grips and pass words the object of which was to dispel discord and stimulate friendship.  These efforts were attended with the happiest results.  For a very short time after their organization was completed, a marked change was visible and tone and temper of the garrison where before had been distrust and  manifestation of angry passion, was now kindness and good fellowship, brotherly regard.  At the close of the war, their council fires were necessarily quenched , the garrison discharged and the volunteers returned to their homes.  Recollections of the past and the charms of the association so patriotic in its origins and which had been productive of so much good in the past when dark mantle of adversity hung like a pall upon the country and national desire to perpetuate and extend it were the incentives to revive the society.  Accordingly, a call was inserted in one or more of the newspapers of [[Philadelphia, PA | Philadelphia]] for council red men which resulted in organization of what was subsequently known as the [[Tribe of Columbia]] of the [[Society of Red Men of Pennsylvania]].  Such is history and is substantially the traditional history of origins of our affiliation which is now organized in all the states and since the year 1866 holds a great council of the United States the supreme body of the order under perpetual charter granted by the Senate, House of Representatives of commonwealth of [[Pennsylvania, PA | Pennsylvania]] of which all states great councils supreme bodies of order in each state attend by representatives to consult for the common good of our great brotherhood.  It is quite clear of aim and goals of our common brotherhood.  We receive within our wigwams all who are privileged to associated with us.  Its emblems are derived from nature alone and are symbolized seen upon which the eye may rest while contemplating  the wondrous works of the great spirit, whose power, goodness and all prevailing presence must be accepted and related to all those who seek to perpetuate the secret mysteries of our order.  Red Men administer no oath binding you to any political or religious creed, bind neither your hands or feet.  As you enter the wigwam, so you depart a free man.  The political belief and religious faith of everyone is left unquestioned.  Meetings are held for the transaction of business of a moral, benevolent and chartable character.<br>
