ST. LOUIS, September 1.-THE Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows OF the State of Mis-
souri,, which last year passed resolu-
tion refusing to admit saloon keepers
to the order, has been reversed by the
Sovereign Grand Lodge, now in session in
Topeka. The order was almost split in two
on the liquor question in this State, and the
victory of the saloon keepers is a source of
chagrin to the majority. The Sovereign
Lodge held that the action OF the Missouri
lodge was unconstitutional,
The Masonic order eliminated the saloon
keeping element from its rank few years
ago, and the action of the Odd Fellows was
taken out of Difference to this precedent, but
the Masons are not compelled to abide by
the decision of sovereign body similar to
that of the Odd Fellows, as any action taken
by the State Grand Lodge is final.

Independent Refinery for Coraopolis.

The first tangible movement by the indepen-
dent producer toward the building of refinery
may be attributed to the Galley Bros. For some
time the Gaileys have had in contemplation the
erection of first-class refinery at Coraopolis.
where they own $50 acres of territory. all of
which looks good for 25 or 30-barrel wells.
Galley Bros. are numbered among the most
gagged in the production of petroleum. MIR.
Samuel Galley, in discussing the situation to-
day. said to THE DISPATCH scout: For some
finery at Coraopolis, and since the Standard has
cut the premium we have decided to 20 ahead
and build a S25. 0e0 plant. We are going into the
business not only as an investment, but because
the great monopoly has forced US to do So.
Building independent retineries and pipe lines
is the only hope and salvation left the pro-
ducers." H. MCCLINToCK,

Lone Ten-Dollar Note That Proved a

 Speaking of General Forrest, tho cav airy hero of the war, who killed moro men with his saber than any other one soldier on either side, the Florida; Times Union says that he returned to Memphis after the surrender with his wife and with only q ten-dollar bill in his pocket Mrs. Forrest was q lady of the most quiet, amiable Christian virtues, and the only person, by the way, who had any control of tho wizard of the saddle while in a passion. Ono touch of her gentlc hand, ono soft. tender word, would calm his most tempcstuous moods in g moment.
 Sitting alono together the night of their return to Memphis, General For rest said: ''Mary, know you are 8 strict church member and have always op- posed cards But this ten dollars is all there is on earth between us and the poor-house. Won't you consent to my going out tonight and hunting up game ofdraw? And won't you pray that may win while l am out?'
 In vain the good woman protested. It vas sin in tho sight of God, she said, and sin could not finally prosper. He went, found the party he wanted and began tho game. | ne cards ran his way from the first and his winnings grew so large that he set his beaver on the floor beside him and used it as q depository. About two o'clock in tho morning he lifted his tile, bent his head down and placed the hat carefully on it, retaining the money inside. Reaching his home he emptied his winnings into Mrs. For rests lap, saying: Mary. count it. " She found that he had upward of S1, 800 a sum which gave him good start in life after having lost all. II believe," said he, relating the incident to some friends, that Mary, in spite of her ob- jections, really prayed for mo while was gone. Atany rate l found her still sitting up when I got back, and know her prayers have many and many time served ne good turn.'
