The Odd Fellows.

CoLUMBrs, Ohio, Aug. 22.-One OF the
grandest assemblages of Odd Fellows
ever seen on this continent will be that

ing the week beginning September Is.
The sovereign grand lodge will then be

The uniformed portion of the order will

will attract many ladies'. The drills Of
the uniformed divisions, for which prizes
aggregating 1900 will be offered, will he

1t is expected that several cities will
make an effort to have the sovereign
grand lodge removed from Columbus.

Losses on the Green Cloth

New YORK, Aug. 22.-Denman Thomp-
son has lost $l00,000 at faro during the
summer. This was the big topic yes
terday among theatrical gossips, and it
kept them busy. Thompson made $780,
900 last season at the Academy OF Music.
When the season closed he had round
800, 900 in the bank of the Metropolis.
Instead oil going to his place at Swansea,
he remained i'll town, and to make up for
the excitement of the theater took to that
OF the green cloth. He got in with a syn
dictate of gamblers, who run an establish
ment at SIS Broadway, and at various
times since the lst Of May parted with all
his money.
Thompson's manager (GiImore) denies
the report, saying that Thompson had no
money in his own name. His earnings
were given to his wife regularly every
week and she kept an account at the Bank
OF Metropolis. She drew out the money to
pay the company and meet the regular
expenses Of business, and it would he i'm
possible for her husband to lose a large
amount OF money without her consent

The Underground Waters.

Geo. II, West, of Greeley, Colo, says
"The supply OF water under ground is
enormous. Mr.. Albert Howard, who has
been using a number six Nye pump in his
seventy foot well, has so large water sup
ply there that we have just put him in
another pump of the same size, and the
water supply is ample Tor both. These
two pumps are throwing over 100000
gallons OF water per day. We believe the
saving by lifting the water direct upon the
land to be annually at least 40 per cent by
doing away with breaks IN head gates,
fumes and bitches, and the losses by
seepage and evaporation.
THE claims we make in our circulars
are less than half of what our pumps
actually do. Their work is n revelation.
All We desire is for people to come and
see for themselves. Visit US and we will
show you the work being done on ranches
around"

Metal Market Review.


The outlook for copper and lead is ex-
cellent. Chamberlain & Cos metal mar
ket review of date Denver, 2lst inst,
SAYS:
Copper has done little else than to be-
come fortified in its previous position and
the fun will now begin. At a meeting in
Boston last Friday the chief features of
the big combine were definitely settled.
The conference now promulgates the
statement that the large surplus which
was reported does not exist, but the mem
tai reservation which they make is that
the stock does not exist in Europe, and
the fact that it does exist in America in
no wise disturbs their calculation. A
strong effort was made to restrict produc-
ton for five years to come, which shows
very clearly that there must be large
stock somewhere. No such agreement,
however, was made, but to the contrary,
the Anaconda is to be guaranteed a sale
of nearly 100000 pounds per month
and the bankers are to be allowed 100000
pounds per month, all which points to
the same conclusion, which is that this
new arrangement is merely temporary
one which does not strike at fundamental
conditions but tries to create fictitious
basis and merely postpones the eventual
necessary liquidation of the large stocks.
The price of Lake is now supposed to be
firmly at II .ents.
Lead has recovered somewhat from the
stock which was received last week at the
east. The cause of Its unexpected dive
down to 3.75 was the fact that some
holders there got badly scared over the
report of an adverse treasury decision and
dropped nearly 900 tons which the
trade readily absorbed and even called
for more, but the other holders had better
staying qualities and refused to throw
away lead in New York at the St.
Louis price. This brought about re-
action and values advanced there under
very light sales to 800. Meanwhile
Chicago and st Louis had continued the
even tenor of their way, undisturbed by
the vagaries ofthe New York market. The
episode was valuable as very conclusive
evidence that lead stands in position of
extreme strength and needs only the
treasury decision favorably given to
carry the prices to 4.50. Sec. Window
however takes his time very leisurely and
in spite OF miners, meetings in Montana,
Idaho, Utah, Colorado and other states,
there is no question that the secretary's
present instructions are seriously check
ing importations.

Deserves StatpIIood

CHEYENNE, Aug. 22.-Wyoming has en-.
joyed more permanent and substantial
growth during the past few years than
probably any western territory, and has
honorably earned position among the
states OF the union. Her industries and
natural resources are more varied and
diversified than any Of the prairie states,
and she is consequently insured future
growth OF more stability and pormanency.
The territory has coal, iron, marble, sui
phur, soda, lead copper, silver, gold and
many other minerals, besides thousands
Of acres OF fertile and productive farming
lands, and the best cattle ranges in the
west.
Tho opening OF the big Sioux reserva-
ton will result in the extension of the
Milwaukee and Northwestern roads into
the very heart OF the territory. The strong
and winning card that is now being
played for statehood is that most import
ant factor-Wyoming's growth.

THE WHITE HOUSE.


WASHINGTON, Aug GA bill to pro-
vide for the extension of the White house
with a view to giving the family of the
president more room for domestic pur-
poses will probably be introduced by Sen
atOr Cameron this winter. At least lie
has signied his intention to do so unless
somebody proposes measures that may
be more desirable. Senator CnmerOn's
idea for an Improvement is general
one. He has nothing to offer in the
way OF detail. His proposition is to ex
tend the executive mansion by wings
built to the east and west, much
in the same manner that the capitol
building was enlarged by the addition OF
the house and senate extension. The
White house is clothed with too many
circumstances of historical interest to
permit of its demolition or any radical
alteration that would destroy the orig
inal. 1t has been the home OF every
president except Washington, and the
corner stone was laid by him. Senator
Cameron's idea is to leave it as it is, and
increase the Accommodations by the exten-
sion stated. He wants the plan for
wings to be used by the family to be de-
signed after ideas agreeable to Mrs. Har-
rlson. AS woman with experience
in keeping house under difficulties she
will, lie thinks, know what is needed
better than Il man.

The Cherokee Boomers.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 23.-Reports from
the Cherokee strip and Its vicinity ind-
cate that the opening OF Oklahoma has
not absorbed all the boomers in the
country.
When Sec. Speed, Of the Cherokee
commission returned here yesterday, his
office was beseiged by host OF boomers
anxious to learn what were the prospects
for speedy opening Of the strip. They
we're informed that negotiations with the
Chckasaws for the purchase OF their res
ervation by the government are likely to
be brief and satisfactory; and the country
will probably be opened to settlement
next spring.
The boomers received the information
with satisfaction and many of them ex-
pressed determination to camp on the
borders awaiting the appointed time.

Providence, r. l., Aug. 23.-The
Waukcgan cotton goods mills of L. ? TAFT
have suspended payment. The failure is
connected with the disaster that overcame
Lewis Brothers. The mills were reported
to be involved with Menville-Slatton' to
the amount OF a million, and creditors
have been coming down on them. The
companys' liabilities are placed at ST.
100000. The assets, according to the
contpany's figuring. are $2,OO0,OOO. The
failure is directly due to that of Lewis
Brothers.
The Nottingham mills will also suspend.
The Thornton worsted mills went un-
der to-day. Their trouble is caused by
failure of Brown, Sleese & Clark.
