Independent Order of Odd Fcllow-.
There was an unusually large attendance
at the meeting of Omaha lodge No. 2, on
November 2S undoubtedly because Of the
election of officers The big number of votes
was not needed, however because every
one Of the old officers was reelected by ac
clamation. This action is unprecedented in
the history of the lodge.
During the evening the second degree team
by request conferred the degree upon
Thomas II. Walker of Florence. The work
was exceptionally well done under the di-
rection Of Captain Nichols who had been
at the head of the STAFF since its inception
in 1886. At the conclusion of the work
twenty minutes were devoted to short re
marks from members. Then an adjournment
was taken to the dining room, where light
refreshments were served.
The following were the officers elected L.
George IL. Burchard N. G.; Charles A.
Grandon, V. G.; Charles A. Patterson, s.;
Franklin b. Bryant, T.; Louis Heimrod,
Silan Wright and Thomas ]. Evans, T.;
Louis Heimrod, Silae Wright and Thomas j.
Evans, representatives to the Odd Fellows
Hall association.
The lodge proposes to give a series of musi-
cal and literary entertainments during the
coming winter months. The first will be
given on December 10.
State lodge No. 10 elected the following
officers on last Monday night: William Nc

100000 Barrels Last Year
NEW YORK, Oct. 80 Throughout the
states of chief commercial production,
including New England and New
York, the crop Of winter apples Is
large, according to the special report
in the New England Homestead,
which places the aggregate yield at o
shade under 100000 barrels for all
of the United States, against d0,5OO, 900
barrels in 1895 and 57,0OO,0OO
barrels two years ago. This au.
thority says the crop in New En-.
gland, New York, Michigan and parts
of a few other states is phenomenal.
New England and New York have over
l6,OOO,OOO barrels, against little more
than 10000 year ago, while Michi-
gan is harvesting the greatest crop OF
fine fruit ever secured in that state.
The report covering the central west,
however, shows that in many instances
the crop is insufficient to supply
home requirements The Canada crop
is among the largest on record. Ex-
ports from the Atlantic coast are al
ready 100000 barrels. a third more
than all of last year, and the foreign
markets have capacity for absorbing
further vast quantities before spring.

WASHINGTON, OFT. 30-Gen. Frank
c. Armstrong, of the Dawes Indian
commission, VIII CHI has been at work
for month negotiating with the five
civilized tribes in the Indian territory,
is in the city. He says the prospect is
bright for reaching satisfactory
agreement with the Indians by
the end Of the winter There
has been q complete change Of
sentiment he says, since last
year, when the Indians were all
against the governments propositions,
and now the delegates who are in this
city looking after the interests Of their
respective tribes are almost unani
mously favorable to an agreement
Any treaty or agreement that is made
must be submitted for ratification by
congress- and as the surveying Of the
lands alone is likely to occupy year
it is probable that the reorganization
and complete fulfillment of the gov
ernment's plans will not be attained
within several years. The commission
has SO far adjudicated very small
proportion of the 100 claims for citi.
zenship in the five civilized tribes.

"LEr SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR;"
German Soldiers Required to Train Canine
Assistants for Military Service.

Assistants for Military Service.
From a report just issued by the war
department II appears that there are
really such things as dogs of war; and
that It is q part of the functions OF the
German soldier to train carefully GER
tain breeds of dogs to ald him in both
hostile and defensive operations. The
dogs IRE not intended to actually fight,
but by training them they are made OF
value in watching camps, in picket
duty, IN carrying dispatches, and in
looking for missing men.
The military information division OF
the war department has just issued the
ninth number Of the series OF valuable
educational publications, the present
being devoted principally to descrip'

A RED LETTER DAY.


Fourteen Delegations Visit Maj. Mckinley

CANTON, O., Oct. 30. Historians of
the campaign of 1896 will record Thurs
day, October 20, as one of the red let
ter days. MAJ Mckinley was kept
busy from early morning and visitors
came so fast about the middle of the
day that he could not find time to
lunch until after three o'clock.
One party was in town be-
fore seven o'clock, but consld'
erately delayed their call until the
major had finished his breakfast.
Others came at short intervals during
the day and the crowd became so large
that the speaking had to be transferred
from the porch to the reviewing stand.
Every caller was intent on shaking
hands with the nominee, and so far
as possible the opportunity was grant
ed, though 1t was a herculean task.
At one time the crowd became so
large that it was impossible to organize
a line for a Misunderstanding reception.
But hundreds in that party fingered
about the house waiting for the major
to reappear and toward evening he
came out upon the porch to meet them.
In all IA delegations arrived from four
different states, and Maj. Mckinley

The Merciless Turk.

Stonger circumstantial evidence OF
the trustworthiness of the tales OF
slaughter and rapine which comes
from Armenia co ia not be furnished
than that which is supplied by the
brutal refusal OF Turkey to allow the
Red Cross workers to enter that
afflicted province. None knows bet
ter than the Sultan does what the
real character Of the Red Gross Asso-
citation is. Its mission is purely one
of mercy, and Turkey herself is a
party to the international treapy by
which that association is assured pro-
lection in its noble, self-imposed task
of ministering to the relief Of the VIC
Tins of war, fire, pestilence and fa-
mine. But no compact can bind the
"unspeakable Turk" The treacher-
ous Caliph understands that II Red
Gross agents are permitted to pene-
trate to the interior of Armenia all
the horrors which Moslem fanaticisn1
has committed will be dragged to
light; and, treaty or no treaty, he Is
determined that all such revelations
shall be relentlessly suppressed.
Probably nothing would delight the
Infamous despot more than to learn
that those OF his Christian subjects
who had escaped fire and sword had
succumbed to cold and starvation.
This last act of Ottoman insolence
should serve to kindle fame OF
righteous indignation throughout all
Christendom and force the alleged
sChristian' powers of Europe to take
effectualIy in hand their savage ward
| of the Leyant.
