resolution declaring the necessity for
the maintenance and purchase of an
Odd Fellows home which also provides
that a per capita tax of not more than
25 cents per annum shall be levied to
purchase and sustain the home. The
resolution provides that the home shall
be under the control of a board of five
directors three to be appointed by the
Grand Lodge and two by the Rebekah
state assembly, the trustees to be under
the Grand Lodge and responsible to
that organization. This is preliminary
to the report on available sites
AS soon as the resolution had been
read George w. Martin of Kansas City
offered substitute providing that the
Grand Lodge reconsider its action, re-
fusing to accept the DeBoissiere home
in Franklin county and that the Grand
Lodge accept the gift and maintain the
home in accordance with the original
plan. The trustees who now have
charge of the home are anxious to have
the Grand Lodge take it off their hands.
The provisions of the Martin resolution
are as follows:
Resolved, By the Grand Lodge of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows Of
the state of Kansas, that it is the duty
of every ODD Fellow IN the state OF
Kansas, and of all subordinate lodges.

power the trustees of the BOissiere

trust Regretting the great waste in
the past few years, of money, time, op
portunity and privileges designed for
Odd Fellows orphans by the splendid
old Frenchman, whose entire life was
given to like practical interest in his
fellow man, an Odd Fellow in spirit and
truth if not by initiation this Grand
Lodge commends the BOissiere Odd
Fellows Orphans Home and Industrial
school. and bids it godspeed to a place
among the first and great institutions
of Kansas, as BOissiere planned and
hoped. proudly conscious of the great
compliment in the old philanthropist's
selection above all others of the Inde-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows, and full
ly appreciating the seriousness and SOL
emnity of the responsibility he has
placed upon US.
The whole matter was made special
order for p. m. today and then w. A.

ton to the delegates to visit the Suth-
erin property near Topeka which is the
proposed site for the home. The invi-
tation was accepted with but little op-
position and o'clock was fixed as the
hour for leaving the state house.
Nine o'clock Thursday morning was
made a special order for the election
of a grand warden.

HAS 10000 MEMBERS.
Largest Organization in Kansas is
Anti-Horse Thief Association.


Atchison. Oct. 12.-The Twenty third
annual session of the Central PrOtec-
tive association, anti-horse thief, was
held al Odd Fellows hall. There are
something over two hundred delegates
present, to say nothing of several hum
dred others. The Central Protective
association is exclusively a western
Missouri and eastern Kansas organfza-
ton. Twenty-Five years go there was
a great deal of horse stealing in Clay
and Platte counties, over in Missouri
The thieves became so bold that the
farmers in the two counties organized
for their mutual protection, and called
it the Vigilance Committee. Two years
later the organization had spread over
several counties. Every year the asso-
citation grew until at present it has 315
lodges covering western Missouri and
eastern Kansas. The association con-
vened in Atchison about ten years ago.
W. S. ConnOr, of East AtchisOn was
elected president, and he has served in
that capacity ever since. A. A. Burg
ard, of Kansas City, has been vice pres
ident five years; w. H. Smith, of Atch-
ison, has been secretary eight years. Sid
Summers, who lives over in one of the
counties where the organization 0rigi-
mated, has been treasurer twenty three
years. and has missed only one meet
ing. The Central Protective association
has a membership of over 10000.

selection of a place for the home. They
accepted the invitation of the local COM
