Rupture Between Odd Fellows.

The fight among the Odd Fellows of
the state over the De Boissere home at
Ottawa has reached that stage where
Grand Secretary ID. w. Kent says that
he or L. c. Slime, superintendent of the
home. must leave the order. Slime ad-
dressed a circular letter to the different
lodges requesting that in voting the
members qualify their votes for the
Odd Fellows home by stating that
they desire the grand lodge to father the
De Boissere home. Kent Immediately
wrote caustic circular letter denounc
ing Stine and calling upon the lodges
to follow strictly the law of the order
in voting and to vote only as the ballots
indicated. Secretary Kent has an
nounced that at the next meeting of
the grand lodge he will prefer charges
against Stine. Stine's reply is that he
agrees that one of them must leave the
order, but that it will not be him. The
interest of the next grand lodge meet
ing centers around the home question.
