Silver JOS lecture on the free coinage
of silver drew an audience CT sixty to the
court house on Saturday night. He is
very enthusiastic on the silver question
and presented the subject very strongly
from his standpoint. Though he poses
as a non-partisan, he is one OF the best
vote-getters the populists have on the
stump today, all the more SO because he
hides his trail so cleverly. He registered
at the Commercial as STRANDED, but
there is no danger OF his being stranded
as long a. his voice holds out and he can
draw his pay. He left for Watertown
via stage on Monday.

I.O.O.F. ANNIVERSARY.
Celebrated i'm Webster by Insti-
tuting a Rebekah Lodge.

April 26, 1896, was the 18th anniver-
sary OF the foundation OF Oddfellowship
in America. For local reasons, the day
was celebrated by Webster Lodge No.
l15, L.O.O.F. on Friday. The principal
event OF the day was the institution of
Webster Lodge OF Rebekah, No. 43. The
Rebekah lodge or womans branch OF the
/. o.. o. +. was organized in 1850 by
SchuylerColfax, of Indiana. It's principles
and teachings are identical with those of
the parent order. Its objects are to aid
and assist the sick, comfort the distress
ed, and take care OF and educate the
orphaned children OF members, and to
help IN other useful ways.
1t is very seldom that a lodge starts
out under more favorable circumstances
than the one just started here. 1t SEEM
ed as If everyone was impressed with the
desirabilfa v fl such an organization, and
there is no question but that it will soon
embrace a membership OF seventy-five.
Mrs. Florence NJ. Jones, OF Britton, grand
secretary, reached here on Thursday
night and the work of organization was
at once put under way, eliminating on
Friday afternoon by institution with
fifteen charter members, all ladies. Mrs.
Jones was assisted in the work by Dep.
q. NJ. Thos. A. Baker and the team from
Waubay lodge. The hall was beautifully
and tastefully decorated with flags, BAN
ners, and ported plants. A recess was
taken until 7 pm. when a class of TWEEN
ty-one candidates were duly initiated,
after which the different appointments
were made and the officers installed. 4
collation. of ice cream, cake, and lemon
ade in abundance was then served,
followed by short addresses by Bros
Baker aed Abbott. Owing to the late
ness OF the hour, the principal address,
which was to have been given by Bro. ID.
Mclean, was postponed, but it is under
stood he will be invited to deliver it be-
fore the new lodge in the near future.
4 large number of the members and
guests then repaired to the opera house
and the light fantastic was tripped for
an hour or so, after which "Home, sweet
home was the word, whittier all went
charmed with the evenings entertain
ment.
The officers OF the new lodge are

her absence, she has divided her time

York and her sons in Oregon. As usual,
Mrs. Ostrander paid her respects to the
REPORTER office soon after arriving, and
the only change we can observe is that
she appears to be growing younger
every year. Many friends will be glad to
welcome her once more.

the pole and whifietrees dangling, they
came up Main Street on the run. Turn
ing the corner at Kramer's, they became
separated and one horse dashed into
Kramer's delivery wagon, overturning
it on top OF himself. He was readily *.
tricated and his mate was soon secured.
The only damage was the broken pole
and the tori harness.
