"A large amount of rye was stored away
throughout this township last week by the

The Odd Fellows Endowment Association
presents the most economical Life Insurance
Plan ever yet brought before the public. II
is, of course, exclusive to certain extent,
being confined to members of that order.
Yet young man or even a middle aged
man can unite with the Odd Fellows and
also with the Odd Fellows Endowment As
ISOLATION for less money than any other or
led to the sick and funeral benefits. general
ly ranging from "a to $l5 per week, for the
former and the latter from $50 to $500, ac-
cording to the wealth Of the Lodge, and up
on the death of the wife of an Odd Fellow
halfthe funeral benefits are paid and il a
member of the Endowment Rank $4,000
Insurance besides. An Odd Fellow can
unite with the Endowment Association for
50, and at the death Of member an assess
ment Of 81 is laid for a full rate member
and so cts, for half rate momber-a full
rate member being entitled to $4,000, and
half rate to $1,000.
The officers OF the different Lodges attend
to the business under the supervision Of the
State organization. Each state has its sepa-
rate Endowment organization, so that Penn
sylvanians run no risk in being tared. for any
deaths occurring in a nalayiOuS or yelloW .te-
yer district, as all other organizations are.
There is no accumulation Of funds. in the
Treasury, consequently no inducement for
fraud no expenses incurred in making in
vestment or conducting a regular banking
business or in paying agents or officers for
organizing societies and drumming up re-
cruits; no salaried officers. The officers of
the different Lodges doing what little there
is to be done, the smaller mortality on ac-
count of only healthy men joining the order,
and the healthier men of the order becom-
ing members of the organization, making
the assessments low. All of which accounts
for its cheapness. so the system is very
much simplifed and as near perfection as
any plan can be. In fact it is Just the organ
ization for the poor man, under the super
vision of the Poor mans orders-Odd Eel
lowship, the most suitable organization in
eXistance, vieing with the church in its BEN
efcince and charity, with Lodge in almost
every village and in many rural districts,
and in larger towns more than one and
numbering in Pennsylvania almost 1000
and over 100, 900 members. Wherever civ
iization has extended its influence is felt
and acknowledged-on land and on the
broad expanse of ocean-in the dark mines
of Pennsylvania and in the crowded cities
of the world-on the rugged hills ofSwitzer-
land and in the gold bearing valleys Of Cal
ifornia-amid the'snows of the north and
under the burning sun of the Topics the
fraternal intercourse of Odd Fellowship may
be found. X.

News from Bethlehem.

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Jnly 22.-Mr. Robert
II. Sayre, Superintendent ofthe Lehigh Val
ley Railroad, denies emphatically that his
company has taken any steps looking to the
building of a railroad from Philadelphia to
this point, either alone or in conjunction
with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
No such matter has BEEN proposed at the
meetings Of the Bourd, and as long as the
Valley is afforded the facilities now given
by the Philadelphia and Reading Company
no road will be built. The reports thus far
published have been altogether imaginary,
and are without foundation in fact. All the
Lehigh Valley officials have done was what
common business prudence dictated-dis-
cussed what might be done in the event that
their Philadelphia outlet should be en-
croached upon.
In South Bethlehem, the other day, an
attempt at murder was frustrated in sin
gular manner. A man named McShane, a
law-abiding citizen, was set upon and hor-
ribly beaten. In the hope of escaping with
his life, he fegncd death. His assailants,
believing they had killed him, carried him
to the track of the North Tenn. Railroad
Company, and laid him across rail. They
hoped the next passing train would mutilate
him and hide their crime. AS soon as his
assalants left McShane followed suit. Two
of the party, John Connell and Patrich Con-
nell, have been arrested and held in bail to
answer at the next term of court.
The friends of Lehigh University having
provided the means, dam is now being
erected across the Lehigh river at this point,
with the assent Of the Lehigh Coal and Navi-
gation Company. The dam will have a
| fall of four feet, and its effect will be to give
clear stretch of two miles, on which the
University Boat Club will do their practc-
ing,
| An unknown young man, l9 years of
age, who claimed Bethlehem as his home,
was run over and killed, at Hampton Jnnc-
tion, N. j., yesterday. He has not been
identified, and no one is missing from here.

The Centre Square Singing school was
held last Sunday evening at the residence of
Mr. Nathan Ballet. 1t was we'll attended.
Mr.. F. w. Smith, who spent part of the
summer in Nevada, Ohio, came back on Fri
day last. His friends were glad to see him,
and he seems to have enjoyed his trip very

Alex. Seidel and wife from Lehlghton,
were visiting some of their friends in the val
ley on Sunday last.

We understand that the party that went

Mr.. Aaron Gumbert, while engaged lin
hauling grain from the fields into the barn
last week, met with serious accident. The
wagon upset, and he being on top of the load
fell off and had one OF his legs broken just
above the ankle. 1t will no doubt be quito a
while till he is able to be about again.
Miss Mary Ballet, of this place, is visit
