block. a new building was at once
erected, and the lodge meetings re-
sumed on the old site. where they have
been held during the past hundred
years.
A certified copy of said charter was
afterward obtained from the secretary
of the grand lodge of Massachusetts.
Nathaniel Drummer was the first
master serving four successive years
and was afterwards elected to the
same Office in 1907. He was born in
Newbury, Mass. March 9, 1855, of the
fifth generation in lineal descent from
Richard drummer, Esq, who came
from England in 1888 with the first
settlers in Newbury. The Dummer
family was one of the oldest and most
promin- = in both Maine and Massa-
chusetts.
Nathaniel was educated at the old
Dummer academy. He was the first
representative to the legislature from
Hallowell, in which place he was most
active in town affairs at the time Au-
gusta was a part of Hallowell. He
was member of the executive coun-
ell, and afterward served on the bench

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 6.-The decora-
ton committee of the Native Sons are up
to their eyes in business just now. Be-
tween the San Francisco decorators and
the local men who want the contract to
furnish all the flags bunting, lanterns and
the paraphernalia to be used in beautify-
ing the Courthouse, the pavilion and the
streets during the Admission day cele-
bration they do not know whether they
are afoot or on horseback"
1t is very probable that the contract for
decorating the Courthouse will be given
to outsiders. The excuse made by the
chairman of the committee this forenoon
for not patronizing home people was that
he could do much better. as to price, with
those who already had on hand supply
OF bunting, flags and lanterns, which, he
declared, none of the local men had.
One firm proposes to place standards
about the Courthouse square and have
strins OF lanterns run up to the top of the
building and some to the very top of the
Courthouse dome. Besides these, long
strings of Japanese lanterns are to be
strung along the principal thoroughfares
of the city. Many thousands of lamps will
be required, and the firm that makes the
proposal offers TO keep them in repair and
lit during the evenings on which the cele-
bration is to be held. They ask for some
sort OF police power In order that they may
arrest any who attempt to destroy the
lanterns.
Tonight the Native Sons committee
met to discuss the plans for the three days
celebration here. There will probably be
another moonlight picnic at the grove
some night during the month to raise
money for the water carnival fund.

MEETINGS TO RAISE FUNDS.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 6.-The board
of directors of the San Joaquin Valley
Agricultural Association met this after
noon for the purpose of arranging for the
coming fair, including six days racing at
the track and two weeks exhibition in the
pavilion. 1t was decided to hold the pro-
posed bench show during fair week, and
every accommodation Will be given those
who enter their dogs here. The local
kennel club has arranged to raise guar
antee fund, so that the association cannot
lose any money by holding the bench
show here, and the directors were all in
favor of holding it.
Some controversy arose to-day with
reference to letting the privileges for SELL
ing pools. Heretofore Killip & Co. have
been the successful bidders, but this year
B. Levy, the local auctioneer, is making a
strong bid for the privilege, and there is
every prospect of sharp competition be-
tween him and Killip e. Co. Some of the
directors favor the last-named firm on ac-
count of their experience in pool-selling,
while others favor the local man, who has
had some experience in the Northwest in
selling pools.
1t was decided this afternoon to hold
the exhibit in the pavilion, as usual, in
spite of the loss entailed last year, and it
was decided to pay the premiums offered
this year in spite of every ything, even if the
interest on the debt of the Agricultural
Association has to go unpaid.
There will be meeting of the life men,
bers of the association some time this
month in order to get them to assist in
providing for the pavilion display.
The programme at the track is an as
sured success. Already number of en-
tries have been received for the events,
which closed on August 1. No entries
were received for the district trot, and so
the time for entering was continued until
September 1. 1t was decided to add to the
speed programme by incorporating two
mile race for butchers horses which have
not record inside of 2:35. A good purse
will be given to the winner, the second
horse only to save entrance money.
Secretary Doan will be sent to Sacra-
mento during the State Fair TO secure
those exhibits that are at Sacramento for
the display here.

NEBRASKA CITY, NEBR., Aug. 6.-The

Edsrard 3. Orr.
TACOMA, WASH, Aug. 6.-Late this
afternoon Judge Pritchard handed down a
decision in the Mayoraity contest of Ed
ward S. Orr against Angelo V. Fawcett,
declaring Orr elected by a majority of fif-
teen. At the last spring election Fawcett
was declared elected by majority of two
by the canvassing board, and assumed
possession of the Office. He was the can
didate of the fusion Democrats and Popu-
lists.
Orr will take his seat as Mayor as soon
as the Judgment in the case is signed, un-
less appeal proceedings and the filing OF a
supersedeas bond intervenes. To head this
off it is rumored that the Orr forces will
make a descent on the City Hall and try
to capture the city government by force.
Orr was the previous Mayor and trouble
was narrowly averted when Fawcett in
sisted on taking the Office. Orr at first re-
sisted, then yielded.
It was in the trial of the contest case
that it was discovered ballots from
four precincts giving majorities for Orr
had been stolen from the vault in the City
Hall. The court ordered the other ballots
recounted and accepted the figures from
the returns for the missing ballots. Un-
disputed ballots On recount gave Orr 2620
and Fawcett 2590 votes, including the
stolen precincts. The four disputed votes
counted for Orr gave him 1924 and the
nineteen disputed votes counted for Faw.
cett gave him total OF 2609

Mrs. Childs, Cotored EUangeltst, Drops
Into the Slough CITY.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 6.-An eccentric
character dropped, or rather walked, into
Stockton last Monday. She is Mrs. Childs,
coIored evangelist, and she has, during
the last four years, travelled all over the
United States afoot. She believes that she
is doing the Lords work. Fatigued and
footweary, she arrived in Stockton and
went to the home of another colored lady,
Mrs. Davis, on Anderson street, between
San Joaquin and Hunter streets, where she
remained until this morning, when, bright
and early, she started out, headed for Los
Angeles. The traveller is close to 10 years
old and she never wears hat. The front
part of her head is bald, but she has a
good bunch of hair on the back part. She
carried bundle on the top OF her head,
balancing it apparently without any
trouble, an accomplishment which she
acquired years ago when she was slave.
She also carried basket containing food
enough to satisfy her frugal appetite until
she reaches a hamlet or city, when she
will replenish it with whatever donations
people may choose to give her.
