Jahitrr of odd Fellows Hall, in.

named George Stats, aged sixty
five wears. who rs Janitor OF the
odd Fellows Wall, and has had
charge OF tho pr'v'to books and
works, ms well as KEYS for some
time past, has been under the domi-
nation of a woman named Philbern,
who acquired n fearful influence
over him, and prevailed upon him
to let her witness three limitations
in Odd Fellowship, while she was
concealed from view. There is a
room adjoining the main hall of the
odd Follows building, designed
for the reception of an organ, pend
ing which it was curtained, having
been in this condition for some
time. Entrance to this Don can
only be obtained from the outside,
and thereto Mrs. p. was admitted
BY the Janitor upon several differ
cnt nights, and witnessed three, il
not five limitations.
She was supplied with the private
books and work Of the order, keys
to the rooms and ono Of the stool,
OF the Encampmant. These article
wcro taken from her a few day,
since by the chief Of police. il i
said the janitor instructed the wo

themselves to their hearts con

Col. Powers wishes tn act as the

Gus soap compound of the Rad

he is too weak to make a good
job of it, They are too widely
apart to produce the contactn ne.
cessary for the operation. HI
can't make the Pilot follow the
Leadcr, and the latter did no
start out to follow anything
So, they are already near a col
