ODD FELLOWS HOME
Proposition Voted on Next
Thursday Night.
WICHITA A CANDIDATE
City Attorney Helm Candidate
for Grand Warden.

The Odd Fellows Il Wichita and south
west Kansas are caucusing aroI1d in II
tie groups. They are to vote tomorrow
night, The las; netting in hay. as &c
whether they shat have an 01.2 Fellows
Home. The proposition which is to be sub
mitted is as follows: For an Odd Eel
lows Home" and Against an Odd Eel
lows Home" Should the proposition for
an Odd Fellows Home be carried, Wich-
fta viii be a leading candidate to secure
the location.
The subject has been before the Grand
lodge number of times, and the last
Grand lodge not wanting TO assume the
responsibility referred the matter back TO
the subordinate lodges for a popular
vote. Every third degree member who
is not over thirteen weeks in arrears IS
entitled to vote on this proposition. The
reason for not having an Odd Follows
Home long go is that a number of years
ago an old odd Fellow by the name Of
DeBo-ssere died, leaving a quarter sec
ton Of land fairly we'll improved near
SilkV.lle, Kan, near LeaVenwOrth, to
some trustees whom he named, and their
successors to manage and use as an Odd
Fellows Home. This Home is sad to be
by even its friends not very suitable for
the purpose and there has been a great
deal of litigation over the property in the
court The Odd Fellows of the state
have nearly all pad their $3.50 per cap
ita to clear this matter up, and il is still
IN litigation without prospect Of ever be-
coming the property of the Odd Fellows
of the state, and the Grand lodge has re-
fused to mix up any further in the litiga-
ton. If they are to have a home they
want a home, and a home that can be
made beautiful and comfortable for the
aged and the infants who may be father
less.
The proposition Of establishing another
home VIII be VOTED upon by the members
in the lodge meetings commencing on
Thursday evening Of this week. when the
members of Wichita lodge, No. 296, VII
cast their votes for or against it. The
officers Of the various lodges are trying to
get out a fun attendance, and it should
be the object Of every third degree mem
Der to be at his lodge meeting to vote On
this proposition.
The local members believe that if the
proposition for the Home is carried and
that should the lodges give it a large ma
jority vote here, it viii enhance the
chances Of Wichita in securing this home,
The lodges also vote at this meeting for
local officers as well as the Grand lodge
officers. A Z. Helm is a candidate for
the office Of grand warden.

 Nothing was saved whatever. Everything, including household goods, was lost. Many of those in the house were seen, when the fire. men arrived, standing on the side walk in their night suits. No one knows how the flames originated, or how they were given such an un controiIable start. Will Scull lost s200 in money that he had under his pillow.

PHILIPPINE GOLD.
Returning Soldiers Bring Rich Ore
 Specimens

Evidences of the richness of the Philippine islands in the precious metals, says q Dead wood special, has been shown iu the Black hills towns since the return of the three volunteer companies which serGed a year ill the Philipne country. The Black hills boys, many of them, have had practical experlenee in mining for gold and silver oresA and they have been watcl ful of the Phili- pines country for indica tioDs of ore deposits. Capt. Paul McCelland, of Company I. has brought back from Manila a piece of bamboo, corked at each end, which contains a very rich piece of decompcsed silver ore. Capt. McClelland formed the ac- quaintance of an old native who stated that the rich specimen in the bamboo stick came from a wide leIge, stepping off q distance of about 100 feet when he told the CdDUdIu tHG W Wl0 LII VI i'
 The sample of ore is nearly half silver. The ledge, the native tated, is about ten miles from Manila. Many of the natives have learned something of the value of the ore veins of the country, having seen some of the miniI g done by the Spanish.
 Pieces of rich gold quarts ore have been given the Black hills boys by the natives which came from Luzon and the ore resembles very closely the rich free-millng veins of the Black hills. Chunks of gold ore have been exhibited on the streets If Deadwood by sobe of the returned soldiers which bristled with gold threads, flakes and nuggets, and it would be taken for Black hills ore by the most experienced mining man.
 Many of the Black hills boys have rem aimed in the Philippines fer the purpose of being on the ground ready for the gold fields as soon as order is restored in the islands. Several outfits have been organized " hich are already in the gold fields around Manila. Some of the re- turning soldiers have small bottles If placer gold which they banned out of the creeks anu larger streams of " ater wirh common pans. There seems to be large quantities of black sand which is full of bright yellow gold, easily banned and believed by the Black hills men to be in great qu antities.

DEATH OF CAPT. NELL w. RAY
\ Noble Soldier of the Confederacy and
a Leading Citizen Passes Away.
lFayetteville Ohserver.l

The community was startled by the
Neill w. Ray. which occurred at his
residence on Green street at 1905 o'clock
today.
Capt. Ray has not been in robust
health for several years past. Indeed,
it has always been matter of aston
ishment to those who happened to know
Of his sufferings from his wound that
he has BEEN able to accomplish so much
i'll life; but, up to a couple of years ago,
there was no outward sign of that drain
upon the system which arduous service
in the great war, to say nothing of
severe wounds. has almost invariably
entailed upon those who did loyal SER
vice in it,
Captain and Mrs. Ray and their young
son, Daniel, only recently returned from
a trip Of several weeks. going as far
north as Toronto, and he seemed great
ly freshened up by it. Week before last.
he was forced to keep his room from
a feeling Of general weakness. In the
last few days his condition had so much
improved that it was determined yester-
day, if he should pass a good night, TO
take him to Morganton today for Il
change of air. He did not have a good
night however. and the trip was post
poned About II o'clock, he was sitting
IN an easy chair and Mrs. Ray was
standing beside him. He complained Of
he breathed heavily and was dead. He
