Newark, N. J., made the mistake OF re,
living upon remedies based upon mineral
ingredients, and for the hundreds OF
dollars which he invested received only
disappointment in return. He says; :,

is easy to imagine the suffering L en-

Some of the Benwood brethren are

Independent Order of Odd Fellows and
from the day of that famous meeting in
Baltimore in 1860 no other order has kept
pace with its marvellous growth.
II every city and town from the forest
Of Main to the Golden Gate and from the
Canadian pines TO the orange groves of
Florida, the principals OF +. L. & 7. are
being inculcated in the minds of the
people.
But the influence of Odd Fellowship is
not confined TO this country alone. The
song of brotherly love is adapted TO all
tongues, and when the evening twilight
darkens into night the odes of Odd Eel
lowship are being sung inthelodgerooms
of the world.
From Mexico from Cuba. from Peru,
from Chile. from France, from Norway,
from the Netherlands, from Switzerland
from Japan, from Italy and from the Is
lands of the Sea, the same sweet song Of
Brotherhood swelling from the hearts
and flowing from the tongues of odd Fell
lows tells of that period to which hope
looks forth with ardent JOY when one law
shall bind together all nations of the earth
and that law shall be the law of univer-
sal Brotherhood
Odd Fellowship is a modern organiZa-
ton. No legend of antiquity lends its en-
chanting power TO captivate the mind,
but the principals of the order have been
proclaimed for ages. In these there is Moth
ing new or strange, but odd Fellows en-
deavor to put them into practice.
The young mechanic who organized the
first lodge in Baltimore three quarters Of
a century ago buiided far wiser than he
knew. In this comparatively short space Of
time It rs grawn to be the largest frater-
nal society in the world. BY the aid of a
visiting card or an official receipt for dues
paid. member may visit any lodge on the
globe. An Odd Fellow Is never among
strangers; go where he will in the civilized
world he receives a cordial welcome be-
cause he is an Odd Fellow. Are you with
in the ranks? If not 1t would be TO your
advantage If you were.

WANTS UNION IN oREool

Mr.. Geu. P. Caldwell Of salem writes,
June 5. as follows:
As your paper seems 10 be the only
one published in Marion county, that
advocates reform, 1 therefore desire TO
place before the public few facts re-
garding the different political parties
that advocate reform. It is a well
known fact that there is no difference
of opinion between the Democratic
Peoples and Union parties upon the
money question. And that being a
fact IN the case, then great mis-
take has been made by the Union
and Peoples parties in meeting in
the delegate convention, aud formula
ting their party platforms, and asking
all otner Reform parties to join them
1t seems u the that it would have
been mnch better for the Reform
parties to have elected their delegates
20 joint convention, and there to
have formulated their Platform and
name Of the Political party. This
policy would have brought together
all the reform forces, and a platform
could have been formulated that
would have crystalized all these re-
form forces into a solid vote for the
peoples best interest-unlsss some
such action is wisely taken by the
reform forces. Success VIII not crown
their effOlts in the near future. How
can the Union party hope to control
the Peoples party have been Re-
form party for many years before the
Union party was ever heard Of as a
Political party. The.same political
ethics will apply TO the reform forces
of the Democratic party. 10 my
opinion the Democratic party, ma
tionalIy speaking, will never change
their name as long as the memory of
Thomas Jefferson lives in their
hearts Of the great American people
but upon a local issue such as we
will have in the state Of Oregon in
the campaign Of 1898, all these re-
forms can be crystalized into a solid
vote as set forth in the above. 1 am
an old man, that is, not too old to be
an officer seeker, yet, take a deep
interest in this reform movement,
and l sincerly hope that some plan
may be devised that will bring about
a union of all the reform forces In
Oregon. Mr., Editor, l think dis
cussion of this vital question in all its
bearings to the taxpayers of this COM
will do much good.
