CHAPTER XXII. SOCIETIES AND LODGES.

ATCHISON COUNTY PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION—BENEVOLENT¹ AND PROTECTIVE ORDER OF ELKS²—FRATERNAL ORDER OF EAGLES—OTHER SECRET SOCIETIES—CATHOLIC SOCIETIES.

One of the strongest county organizations among the farmers is the Atchison County Protective Association. It had its origin in a vigilance committee which was organized at Good Intent and Shannon, in 1883. For three years this committee operated as a vigilance committee and was organized under the Central Protective Association, August 31, 1886, by William Conners, of Winthrop, Mo. L. P. Dubois, concerning whom a biographical sketch³ appears in another part of this history, was the first president of the Good Intent lodge⁴, and W. H. Smith was the first secretary. Hon. T. J. Emlen, county treasurer⁵ of this county, was the first treasurer of Shannon Hill lodge, and J. I. Holmes was the first secretary.

The first work that was done by the consolidated⁶ lodges⁷ was in running down a thief who stole a team of horses from the late Rolla Streeper. Members of both lodges were taxed $10 each to defray the expense of the chase. J. H. Barry was sheriff of the county at that time and captured the thief in Nebraska.

Following this capture the lodges decided⁸ that the expense was too great to be borne by them alone and so the Atchison County Protective Association was formed in the spring of 1889. The first president was C. S. Prim⁹, and the second president was Hon. W. T. Bland¹⁰, third president was Elias Graves. W. H. Bush was the fourth president, and he held office for ten years and was one of the most popular, tactful and conscientious¹¹ officials the association ever had. Will Dooley, of the Good Intent lodge, was president of the 329association in 1916, and no better man ever filled the position. The Hon. Edward Iverson, ex-county clerk, and now cashier of the Exchange State Bank, at Atchison, has been secretary of the association since 1901. The association has now a membership of 1,500 and with twenty-five lodges, and is affiliated¹² with the Central Protective Association.
BENEVOLENT AND PROTECTIVE ORDER OF ELKS.

This lodge was organized January 17, 1901, with 150 charter members. W. T. Bland, for many years district judge of this county, was elected the first exalted¹³ ruler. The lodge occupied temporary quarters for a number of years, and erected¹⁴ its present building at a cost of $20,000 and dedicated¹⁵ it in 1907. The present membership of the Elk’s lodge is 326, and the names of the past exalted rulers, in addition to W. T. Bland, are as follows: Charles Linley, T. S. Young, J. M. Challiss, James W. Orr, W. S. Washer, Fred Giddings, W. P. Waggener, B. W. Vickery, W. D. Harburger, Charles A. Brown, G. W. Myers, H. B. Bilimek, and Walter E. Brown, whose term expires March 31, 1916.
