Over to the order.


Friday, Al ril 26rh, was the 10th an
niversary cf the introduction Of Odd
Fellowship into the United Sta es.
This being the case, the Odd Fellows
of Olympia determ ned that it would
be meet and proper that on that day
their new hall. second to none this side
San Francisco, should BE- dedicated
to the uses and benefits OF Odd Fellow
ship.
0 thi end, committees were ap-
pointed and invitations sent to all the
sister lodges throughout the Territory
to participate in the festivities incident
to the occasion. Ample preparations
were made to receive all the visitors
and com Mittees were on hand to greet
them on heir arrival.
This morning the city began to fill
with strangers from all sections. At l
O'Clock the steamer Henry Bailey
with members of the order from Sc
attic, to the number OF 100, ac-
companied by about 20 lady members
of the Rebecah degree, arrived at the
Second street wharf. There they
were met by the city band, headed by
T. N. Ford, and in q few momen' 8
were marching on their way to the
hall. Once there, lunch was provided
for them and at 2 o'clock the process
sion took up the line of march from
the tempt down Washington street to
Second, filing pat the OLYMPIAN Of.
fee with stately tread to the strains OF
martial music discoursed by the band
In the procession was noticed many
faces well known all over the land,
but lack of .pace and the lateness Of
the hour, precludes the possibility of
publishing hem in full to-day.
The procession headed by T. N.
Ford, Grand Marshal, was composed Of
the Seattle Lodge, with the right of
way, followed by the Olympia and
Tumwater Lodges, and the grand
officers Of the order. A long line Of
carriages followed the proc. ssion bear
ing along invited and honored guests.
Arriving at the hall, the procession
entered the ediice and fled to the
spacious lodge rooms situated on the
upper floor an the north side Of the
building. Here. ladies to the number
of 400 Oh more had assembled. The
members took seats ON the right and
left and the grand officers of the order
assumed their various stations.
Grand Master o. C. White arose and
in few very choice and wise words,
expl,ined the purposes for which they
had assemble d and concluded his re-
marks by calling upon the members
of the order to rise and sing the open
ing ode. This done, the b4au iful and
impressive dedication ceremonies Of
Odd Fellowship were proceeded with.
At this hour as we 60 TO press, the
ceremonies are not over with and will
not be concluded until too late for
this issue.
Tonight q grand banquet will be
served in the hall to the members and
friends under the supervision of the
well-known caterer, Waldron, and from
the preparations made it will un-
doubtedly he . grand affair.

A Magic City.

| ARKANSAS CITY, April 26.-Fifteen
thousand home-seekers are camped on
the grassy upland. of Guthrie, the pio-
neer city Of Oklahoma, their camp
fires cleaning in the darkness and
their tents looming athwart the sky
like an army in bivouac. Guthrie,
heretofore an Insignificant station in .
wild and uninhabited country, remote
from vilization, has a population of
more than 1900. All this was gained
in the afternoon. In no country save
America, and in no part of that
country save the great west, could
such thing be possible. When the
first train arrived at Guthrie from
Arkansas City, the embryo streets and
lots of the new city had already been
laid out by enterprising citizens who
had been early OIL the scene. Hardly
had the cars slowed down at the station
when eager men leaped from the car
windows, slipped from the roofs of
coaches and poured out Of doors in
streams. In a minute the slope lead
ing up from the station was black with
men rushing headlong, eager for
coveted town lots. In FIVE minutes not
one of the men who had filed the
train was left within speaking distance
of the railway.
By the time this crowd had reached
the top of the slope near the land Of
flee, the men who had been running
parallel lines for streets and driving in
stakes for town lots were well ON their
way along the level strip of land east
OF the postof6ce. The crowd then
caught the moving line of streets and
lots and pushed eastward at tremen-
duOus rate. The men who brought
along a muslin sign bearing the words
Bank of Guthrie" were compelled
10 take up u lJt one mile back of the
station.
The Lext train arriving from Ar
kansas City brought 500 homeseekers
about eight minutes later. Many on
this train hurried scross the prairie |
like an army charging an enemy.
They spread out north and south with
axes and spades and stakes, and be- |
gan with wonderful energy the loca-
ton of town lots and streets. The
third, fourth, fifth and sixth trains |
from Arkansas City swelled the num-
Der to as many thousands. When the |
seventh and eighth trains came in,
later in the afternoon, the crowds had |
overflowed all bounds on the east
streets, and town lots had been ex-
tended fully two miles, on the north q |
mile and q half and on the south
nearly mile. No attempt was made
to lay out the town west OF the track. |
This land had been all filed on for |
homesteads almost with the first Of
the homeseekers from the cars The
home-seekers who started across the
Oklahoma line At noon in wagons and
on horseback soon began to pour into
the new city. Thsir horses were reek-
ing wet from the furious drive. They
took possession of such town lots in
the future Oklahoma metropolis as
they could lay claim to.

A NOTED CHARAcTER.-J. w. Casey,
travelling passenger agent OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st. Paul rail-
road, was in the city yesterday, and
among ether calls, made one on ye
local of the OLyMPIAN, with whom he
has been acquainted for years. The
call brought to mind An incident in
the life OF Casey that is now world
wide and made him famous. Last
fall during the political campaign he
was . member of fambeau club that
was to parade on a certain occasion.
Jim was not thoroughly posted on the
modus operandi of the machine, but
with the gall that railroad-rs are noted
for, he fell into line with his fam
beau loaded to the muzzle with
alcohol and powder for illuminating
purposes. The grand marshal WAS an
Irishmsn, named O'Houghlihan, with
brogue q. broad as his name. The
parade started, and when the order
was given to blow, Casey sucked and
got throat full Of alcohol. It tasted
good, like unto what he had on several
occasions tasted before. Taking in
the situation at glance, he made up
his mind some Of the railroaders had
put up job on him, and whenever
the order was given to blow, he did the
reverse. The result was, Jim got
weary, and when the procession halted
for few moments, he sat down and
rolled over. The marshal straying
alo g on his black charger, spied the
inanimate form of the deiunct tooter
stretched prone on the ground. In
stenatorian tones he yelled: "Fot
ails Casey, Sargintf" "Oh, nathin'
at all," answered that officer, "he
soocked his 6imbeau insted af BLOWN
it," Casey was provided for, but the
joke spread. The Judge of New York
picked it up, and now, all the rail.

Last night, at his residence in this
