K. OF P.’S WILL BUILD.

At the regular lodge meeting Tuesday night the Knights of Pythias decided definitely to build upon their lots on the cor* ner of Washington and Front street the coming season, H Plans have not been decided upon as yet, but the structure will be 63 feet frontage on Washington and either 75 or 100 feet on Front, and probably three-story and basement, and modern in every respect. It will be of brick with stone trimmings. The lower floor will be exclusively for business rooms, the second floor probably devoted to offices and the whole of upper floor for use of the lodge, with all the necessary appurtences for lodge and social functions. The basement will also be fitted up, no doubt, for a restaurant and other business. The whole structure complete will probably cost in the neighborhood of $15,000. It will be an ornament to the city and a credit to the Knights.
