The Odd Fellows and their fami-
lies assembled in their ball last eve
ming 60 witness the installation of
officers Of that popular organization
in this city, and the entertainment
incident thereto, made rarely en-
joyable occasion.
The evenings entertainment, after
the Installation ceremonies, consist
ing of vocal and instrumental music,
recitatipns and short talks by Brother
Odd Fellows, was unusually interest,"
ing and full. Every feature was IA
contribution to the pleasure of the
occasions. Banquet tables richly
laden, were spread about 8 O'Clock
and continued until all were served.
At II o'clock the hall was cleared
and the younger element, together
with some Of the elder brethren,
participated in "merry go round"
which lasted to the early hours of
morning.
This old order is still keeping to
the front, having, as it were, taken
fresh start in life, and in the past
few years increased its membership
to a considerable extent. Last May
they lost their hall by fire, and since
the dedication of their new hall, last
November, they have initiated 20
new members, and have good
many more applicants on the way.
The following officers were in
stalled for the ensuing year:

"a Plain Tale Truthfully Told"

My tailor shop is not the biggest in
the world, but really believe 1t is
equal to the best.
Size of shop or size of city has
nothing to do with the fit of suit of
clothes, or with the style of them, or
with the quality of the cloth.
The things that make clothes good
are good materials and good taiors.
Every piece of cloth in my shop is
| honestly made and stylish. That
much you can depend upon abso-
luteiy,
My proposition is to make your
| clothes better than nine tailors in
ton, and make them just as stylish,
as the SWEETEST tailors in New York
or Chicago. Aud my prices are not
half so big as the swell folks ask.
There is no reason why should
not have an ordor this Spring from
every man who likes To wear stylish
well-fitting, carefully made clothes,
but there are several reasons why |
should.
In the first place, am good
tailor.
! am graduate OF the best cutting
school In New York City. l know
cutting and fitting IN theory as we'll
as practice. / keep In the closest
touch witt, prevailing styles. AS a
matter Of fact, am the only tailor
IN town who regularly receives the
best New York Fashion Monthly. 1t
is expensive, but II is worth what 1t
costs, because it keeps me thorough
ly posted In the styles
| receive these fashion plates every
month, and you are welcome to come
in any time and see what the most
careful dressers In New York, Paris
and London are going to wear next.
The clothes make for you will be
stylish, of course, and they will ht
perfectly. If you can find any fault
with them anywhere--if there is the
least little thing the matter with
them after they are completed -
don't take them. In any event, |
propose to satisfy you exactly, or
You needn't take the clothes.
Isn't that fair? Can anybody offer
more?
There are no better clothes than |
make. There is no way to make them
better.
May have an order?

BOLD BURGLARY ATTEMPTED.
Murder Evidently Contemplated.

Last Thursday morning there was
one of the most persistent attempts
at burglary ever known in this city,
with murder apparently calculated
upon, if necessary.
4 Between two and three o'clock in
| the morning., Mr.. Alfred jenkins,
who occupies the upper rooms of the
building owned by him, and over the
grocery store of Guttenstein & Jacka,
was awakened from sleep by "A noise
at his door. He demanded to know
who was there, and aroused Mr.
Samuel Griffith, who was asleep in
an adjoining room. Finding that
there were two men to contend with
instead of one, the burglar hurriedly
retreated down the stairs. getting
away without being seen.
Upon examination it was found
that several auger holes had been
bored through the door, making an
aperture large enough to admit Il
mans hand. The lock had been
turned by the key. which was on the
inside, and small bolt was drawn |
back. In addition to these fasten-
ings Mr.. jenkins had a piece of
plank running diagonaily across the
door, and fastened at both ends. To |
this precuution Mr.. jenkins proba-
bly, owes his life, for in attempts to
remove the plank the noise was |
made that awakened him. Beside |
the door in the hall was found a
heavy hickory cudgel, blow from
which on the head of sleeping man
would have silenced him forever.
Mr.. Jenkins is man over 70 years
OF age, feeble in health and some
what deaf. He has occupied these
rooms generally alone, since the
death of his wife, several years ago.
He is IA man of considerable property,
and the burglar doubtless knowing
these facts, thought to find money in
the place, In this he was wrong, as
Mr. Jenkins never keeps any consid
able sum OF ready money about him.
Any not invested he at once deposits
in the bank. At the time of the at
tempted burglary there was less
than five dollars in the house, so
that had the burglar succeeded in
without disturbing the
sleeper, struck his life out with the
bludgeon and found no other occu-
pant to interrupt him, ho would have
had nothing for his desperate deed.
1t is thought that there was but
one man engaged il the work, the
noise made in the retreat down stairs
not seeming sufficient for two. As
he was not seen, no description of
him can be given. 1t is improbable
that "A stranger would have selected ]
Mr. jenkins room for burglary. A
theory is that some one
with the town and its inhab-
itauts is the criminal. Yet it is hard
to believe that We have such des-
perate character resident here, and
there is not shadow of clue or sus-
picion as to who it can be.

lectnal feast in setting forth princi-
pies of the Order, urging the mem ,

the task of preseting all the merits
of this speech. Bro. Crawford has
proved devoted aud an efficient
Chancellor Commander, which is
shown by his reelection for another
year.
Every partaker pronounced the
supper equal to the best ever spread
in our city, and while the knights
desired that such should be the ver-
dict, the Rathbone Sisters are en-
titled to special credit for making
the spread what it was.
