THE ODD FELLOWS.
Action of the Sovereign Grand Lodge Daughters of Rebekah Get Set Back The Late Grand Sire OyerruIed.

Action of the Sovereign Grand Lodge
 Daughters of Rebekah Get a Set Back Tho Late Grand Sire OyerruIed.
 TOPEKA, Kan, Sept 20 The first annual convention of the Order of Re- bekah will be it's last
 When the sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows met yesterday the petition of tho Rebekahs for continuance was given special hearing and by prac- tically unanimous vote substitute was agreed upon which will do away with national conventions
 Mrs Rea, the president said of this action: My only hope is that the repre- sentatives who voted against us wifi not be elected to attend another grand lodge meeting"
 The amendment to tho constitution in regard to the eligibility of saloon keepers was voted d5wn by an over whelming majority This came up on the case appealed from the Missouri grand lodge which took action refusing saloon keepers admission on the ground that their business was not moral
 The judiciary committee submitted it's reports on the cases of Grand Master Barnum, of Illinois, and Captain Gen eral Ellis, of the Patriarchs Militant. In the Barnum case the committee over ruled the grand sire and in the Ellis case confirmed his ruling. The grand lodge will act on both reports to-day.
 The degree of chivalry was conferred on Mrs Req by the sovereign grand lodge and the Daughters of Rebekah gave her a handsome diamond ornament emblematic of the order But the jewel and the honor does not compensate for the chagrin she feels at the action of the grand lodge.
 The finding in the Barnum case was a great victory for the Illinois grand mas ter. He was peremptorily deposed from office by Grand Sire Underwood for re- monstrating with the latter in regard to one of his decisions. Barnum' had re- voked the charter of Chicago lodge because it had refused to comply with one of his orders. The lodge appealed to the grand sire and the charter was restored. Then the grand sire removed Barnnm from office. The judiciary com mittee held that a grand master was SUI preme in his jurisdiction and that all complaints must pass through his hands to the grand lodge.
 Captain-General Ellis of the Patriarch Militant, by virtue of the decision, is suspended from office. October 5 last he issued an order declaring himself lieutenant-general and generalissimo of the Patriarchs Militant by virtue of a decision of the grand lodge limiting the office of lieutenant-general to three years and providing for a successor Grand Sire Underwood revoked the order and suspended Ellis.
 All of the amendments which were proposed to the constitution were voted down. It is not likely that any changes whatever will be made.

THE KIMBERLY TERROR.
Details By Mail of the Escape of Menagerie
 Wild Animals

LONDON, Sept. 20. -Advices from Kim berly, South Africa, the center of the diamond fields state that at midnight June 1 last some person, evidently one bearing ill-feeling toward Tillis' menag- erie, opened the doors of the cages con fning the wild animals and set them all free.
 Four attendants sleeping on the prem ises were mangled beyond recognition, being actually torn limb from limb. The entire popolution within radius of mile was aroused by the roaring of the lions, the trumpeting of the ele- plants and the groans and shrieks of the other wild beasts.
 Four big male lions, named Pasha, Abdul, Caliph and Mustapha, sprang from their cages and made for the sta bles, where Pasha leaped upon the back of Murat, the great jumping stallion and buried his teeth in the animals neck. The screams of the horse aroused the attendants, a Scotchman named Patterson and three Kaffir boys, who, armed with stable forks, rushed to the relief of Murat and endeavored to beat Pasha back, but were attacked from be- hind by three other lions and one chee- tah, thrown to the ground and dragged off Their bodies were mangled and torn open, their bones smashed into bits and the heads of all except one of the Kaflirs were mashed. This Katiir had his legs torn of, but lived long enough to tell the story. His body was covered with lacerations.
 Having tasted blood the lions, cheet- ahs, wolves and leopards regained all their natural ferocity and sprang at every living thing that came in their way. Four performing Hungarian horses were killed almost instantly, among which was the equine beauty, Black Bess, and number of ponies were devoured.
 An enormous elephant known as Blood, burst through the heavy iron gate in his fright and rushed into Curry street followed by nearly every animal in the menagerie.
 A cabman named Nelson was sitting on his carriage before the building and sprang for post that supports an avn ing around Glover's athletic bar while the horses dashed madly down the Du- toits Fraue road closely pursued by two lions and four wolves The rest of the wild animals scattered in every di- rection.
