THREE LINkERS CELEBRATE
Odd Fellows Observe Their Eightieth Ami
versary in Fitting Style
MUSIC, SPEECHES, DANCING AND A SPREAD
Members of the order Assemble in
GoodIy Numbers to Properly Cell
citrate Recurrence of Orders
Natal nay.

Eighty years ago yesterday odd Fellow
ship was introduced into America. The re-
curing anniversaries Of this event are the
occasions for social celebrations by mem
bers OF the order. The eightieth anniver-
sary was no exception, and the odd Fellows
OF Omaha and their friends gathered at
Osthoff's hall on North sixteenth street last
night In goodly numbers to ittingly cele-
brate the day.
The first part of the program was opened
with a musical selection BY an orchestra,
followed by a song by the popular Jenny
Lind quartet, composed Of Miss Emma
Moeller, soprano; Miss Emma G. Gentle
man. contralto; Adolph Edgren, tenor, and
G. A. Jacobson, bass. The quartet responded
to a demand for an encore.
The first address was by A. II. Wier OF
Lincoln, past grand master, who gave a
general history of the order. He said Odd
Fellowship was essentially the poor mans
organization. as it was founded in England
by workingmen banding together for mu-
tual protection. He pronounced 1t an order
suitable to present conditions, and cited the
fact that its history was almost contempt
raneous with the history of this country,
where 1t had grown so strong during the
years of its existence here. 1t was not an
order. he said, which depended upon its
age for its claims for public attention.. 1t
was not an Insurance society, but was solely
benevolent to care for the needy in its own
ranks. He suggested that a change might
be made in the handling of the benevolent
funds of the order which would result to
the betterment of the organization. He
thought too much of these funds were paid
out to those who are sick but a short time,
while not enough is given to those who
are unfortunately afflicted with chronic
cases. He would have the allotment of
funds reversed that those who are hope
lessly sick might have the best care and
attention during the days that are left for
them in the run of life.
Spirit of OddfcIIowship.
Adolph Edgren and C. A.. jacobson sang
a duet and were forced to respond with an
other, after which G. L. Loomis of Ere
mont, past grand master, addressed the
audience on the spirit Of Odd Fellowship.
He said the principles of the order EN-
bodied everything which tended to make a
man a good citizen and irreproachable in
every way. 1t was on the plan of an en-
larged family, where there was a COM
munity of interests, and love for each other.
He gave statistics showing the growth of
the order, and the amount OF its benefac-
tions yearly.
The uniformed members then gave a cred
liable exhibition drill. At its conclusion
the floor was cleared for dancing. and the
rest of the evening was devoted to this
amusement. As an intermission supper was
served, the large dining room on the first
floor being used for this purpose. Three
long tables were spread, being ornamented
with flowers and palms, while the walls
were appropriately decorated. The menu
was of the highest order.

TWO SIDES TO THE CASE
Health officials and Citizens Talk of
liberties Given smallpox
Patients.

Complaints have been made by people liv-
Ing in the vicinity OF Miller park that the
conyalescing smallpox patients in the hos
pital near by have been allowed to wander
promiscuously about the neighborhood and
that the children who have carried milk and
run messages for them have been allowed
to attend the Saratoga school. The city
councilman to whom the complaints were
brought has declared that they are well
founded. City Physician Spalding and
other officials of the health department as
sert, however, that they are absolutely
groundless.
There is no truth whatever in any of
these complaints says City Physician
Spalding. The most rigid quarantine has
been enforced at the hospital. That this
has been so should be satisfactorily demon
strated by the fact that not one case of dis
ease has been communicated to outside par
ties from the hospital"
The health department officials are also
somewhat nettled over the fact that the
councilmen have shifted TO their shoulders
the blame for the failure OF the city to re-

The city council on April 10 passed a res
olution ordering fire hydrants located at a
number of different points about the city,
This resolution was signed by the mayor

lowing points: Thirteenth and NJ streets,

New Trial Denied the city.

A new trial In the Anna Johnson dam-
age case has been refused as the application
of the city attorney was overruled yester-
day. Judgment on the verdict given by the
jury was awarded, This means that the
city is mulched for So, 500. Anna Johnson
alleged that she stepped into a ~pOsthole a,
Twenty-seventh and Q streets and sus,
tanned severe injuries to one of her limbs.
While the suit was defended by the city
the Schlitz Brewing company, which caused
the accident, was not made a party and
some people think that the city was neg
ligent in this matter. The Schlitz cons,
pany commenced eXcavating at Twenty
seventh and o streets without erecting
proper safeguards and It was during this
period of excavation that the accident al
legged occurred.

The stock yards company has about COM
pleted the replanking of the l. street Via
duct. A new floor was laid on the ~trusses,
but on the approaches, both east and west,
old planks were used. The flooring is not
what was expected when the railroads sig
nifed their intention of making the re-
pairs and the work already done does not
conform to the regulations laid down by
the city council. According to the ordinance
the work was to have been done under the
direction of the city engineer, but as the
railroads did not take pains to serve any
notice about the commencement of the work
the engineer has not taken any cognizance
of it. A solid plank flooring was what was
intended and unless this is laid the city
may refuse to accept the work. The patch
work is better than the old flooring, but IL
does not conform to the ordinance and will
hardly be tolerated.

move the smallpox hospitals from Fontanclle
ana Miller parks. u is said that the health
officials have suggested sites that might be
purchased for a hospital, but the council
has never followed these suggestions. The
health department, moreover. has not the
authority to- purchase such sites nor lease
them. This power rests In the council
alone. When the department was given au-
thority by the council to eXpend money to
suppress the threatened smallpox epidemic
1t incurred bills which are still being held
up In the council. In view Of the attitude
the council has assumed in connection with
these bills the department officials do not
feel like mourning any additional expense
In the way OF securing a hospital site.

THE CANDIDATE.

The Democrat Star pays the
following tribute 10 the candidate,
and as there are a few" OF these
gentlemen in this neck o. the woods,
we reproduce il for their special
benefit:
"Behold the candidate! He
cometh mp like a flower and retireth
from the race busted. His friends
Ifilleth him with false hopes and at
mosphere. He swelIeth like toad
and thinketh the earth his'n. lie
smileth upon all mankind and
sloppeth over with good humor.
He kisses the children and scatters
his microbes among the innocent
babes. He privily cheweth Glove
when he meeteth the preacher, aud
as he cenverseth with him in pious
torres, he standeth to leeward and
curbeth his breath with strong
BIT. He goeth home at night to
his weary wife with berry breath
and cold feet. He riseth up be-
TIM es and hiketh forth without his
breakfast, saying, 81 go to see q
man. The dead beat who lieth
around In wait then pulleth his leg
TO Queens taste. He "naileth a
lie," but before election day CONES
he runneth short Of nails. He Civ
eth literally to the church; he sub.
scribeth to the man whose barn
was burned; he 5estoweth aims; he
signeth his friends note; be sendeth
a small keg hither and a large keg
thither he yieldeth up his sub
stance with apparent alacrity. AT
ter the election he goeth out back
of the barn and kicketh himself
and teareth his hair and calleth
himself Rotterdam fool. He re-
turneth to the house and addressett
himself to the wife of his bosom
"Bebold a drivelIng fool; gave up
on a dodgasted .simpletoD; cast
your eyes upon beetle-headeC
Ounce, who hath not sense enough
to carry entrails TO bear" Ther
his wife replieth: II told you so,
