Celebration of the Anniversary Of Odd Fe
lows i'm America

\ lows IN America.
! The Odd Fellows of Wichita celebrat-
: ed the 18th anniversary of the institu-
| ton of their order in America yesterday
| Queen City lodge, at their hall on East
| Douglas avenue. was addressed by
| Captain W. T. Burgess, who made a
very nice address dealing with the orr
gin. growth, purposes and achievements
| of the order. There was very fine au-
dience present all of whom were delight
ed with the program which consisted
| among other things of umsic both
vocal and instrumental, and recitations
A similar program was carried out at
lodge No. IS with the addition of a fine
banquet at Red Mans hall on North
Main street, which was very elegant
affair
Seventy-six years ago Thomas Wild
ey, an Englishman who had located in
Baltimore and was lonesome because
Englishmen were not popular then on
account of the recent war, proposed to
John Welch. John Duncan, John Cheat
ham and Richard RuShworth that they
relieve the monotony of life by organic
ing an Odd Fellows lodge resembling
the one he had belonged TO in England.
On April 20. 1919. these five men met at
the Seven Stars tavern and instituted
the first lodge. which was called Wash
ington lodge No. l. The five men were
rot well educated or particularly re-
fined. and they had little influence in
Baltimore, but Wildey was a born
leader of men, and before he died in
1861, the order he had founded had a
membership of 100000
In his great work he had the able as
sistance of James Ridgely, native
American who was educated and re-
fined and lawyer of high standing.
He excelled as an organizer and was
very instrumental in making the order
the great organization that 1t is.
Thomas Wildey VS. born in London in
1lS1 and became a wagon makers ap-
prentice at the age of IA. While still
bound to his employer he became an
Odd Fellow, and with a few associates
instituted q lodge in remote part of
London. The order was started in
England over a century and half ago
much the same as Wildey started the
American order. A number of congen-
ial spirits got together of a Saturday
night, swaped stories and had a good
time. From this beginning came Man
chester Unity. the English order of Odd
lean order. The Rebekah degree for
women was instituted in 1850 and was
the creation of Schuyler Colfax, after
ward vice president of the United States
The present officers of the sovereign
grand lodge of Odd Fellows in America
are the following: j. B. Stebbens of
Albion. n. Y; grand sire; Fred Garlic
ton of Texas, deputy grand sire; T. A. |

Hon. John Eaton of Winfield was in
the city last night enroute to Topeka
on legal business connected with the
building OF "A new court house at FL Do
RADIO.
The case <s rather a peculiar one.
"They are trying 20 build new court
house" said AIR. Eaton, under the
guise OF repairing an old one. The old
court house has been in bad shape for
a hong time and it even appears on the
records OF the board of county COM
nnissioners that it is beyond repair
Notwithstanding that the people con-
slider times too hard to build a new
court house. Now the countr commits
sioners are going to absolutely build a
new court house without the consent
of the people and we propose to stop
them"
THE people around Douglas are very
indignant over the matter and wanted
the county attorney to bring suit en-
joining the commissioners from spend
ing money for the alleged repairs. The
county attorney refused and they then
applied to the attorney general and he
also refused. The tax payers then en-
ployed me and | asked for an injunction
l1olll the GiSLTlCl Court out was denied
II. j am going up tonight TO ask the
supreme court TO grant the injunction
and j think j can make it. The su-
preme court has repeatedly held that
the tax payers cannot cannot sue III
this kind of suit, but owing to the pc
culiar situation / believe the justices
Will change their minds. In this in
stance the county attorney and the
attorney general have refused to rep
resent the tax payers and / am inclined
strongly to the belief that the supreme
court will not hold that the tax payers
will have no redress.
"Our contention is that the commits
sioners purpose is TO build a new court
house and not repair the cid one as al
legged. They are first going to tear
down one wall Of the old building and
put up a new one; then they will tear
down two other walls and replace them
with new ones and then according to
their specifications they will tear down
a. portion of the fourth wall in such a }
manner that the entire wall must fall
