The oixtytifth anniversary of Odd Eel
lowship was duly celebrated by the North
western association at Freeport on Satur-
day. For some time past elaborate pre-
parations were being made for the event,
and to the credit of the committees having
the matter in charge, be it SAID that not a
hitch occurred to mar the proceedings.
The city looked beautiful, and the deco
rations were conspicuous for their pro
fuseness and neat0ess of design. Over
5000 strangers were in the city. The Odd
Fellows formed in line at / p. m and
marched through the principal streets to
Germania hall, where the exercises were
held. Hon. Jacob Krohn called the
meeting to order, and prayer was offered
by Rev. Jenkins. The address of welcome
was delivered by the mayor, in behalf oi
| the city, while Hon f. L. Cronkrite made
| the welcoming address in behalf of the
| order. Hon. John Lake, of Rockford
responded. Grand Master Miller made
the Grafton of the day. Rock Island was
represented by Brothers Mccartney
Knox and Groom, who returned home
Sunday morning, well pleased with what
they saw and heard at Freeport. Al
endeavor was made to have the mex
celebration held here, abut Elgn was
chosen by a vote of 81 to 8 for Rock
| Island.

ONLY @ Woman.

1t surely ought to strike the casual
observer that there is great deal of sym
pathy misapplied in this world A woman
by the name of Mrs Shock is sent to Jail
in Chicago for the mistreatment of chill
dren, and no doubt deserved her sentence.
But with what consistency do Chicago
juries send this helpless woman, with a
fair defence to jail, for the simple neglect
of her charges, while generating red
handed villains stepped in crime with a
certificate of good character, garnished
with banquet, to which respectable men
lend their presence? The explanation is
very simple; the element of money-very
hard cash-was wanting in her defense,
and she, helpless woman, must CO.
Admitted that this woman deserved her
punishment, there still remains the palpa-
bic injustice of visiting on defenceless
female that condign punishment which
never will be melted to all alike until cor
rup5 juries shall recognize that there is nc
manhood in striking only those who
cannot strike back.
