many odd Fellows. who have passed
away. The funeral was held yesterday
and was attended by a large delegation
from the lodge.
The idea of taking a portion OF But
ler's Exchange for lodge room pui-
poses does not meet with general favor
among the rank and file as most OF the
members arc desirous OF purchasing
building for permanent home. Ihe
Mechanics building directly opposite

derstood that efforts are being made 10
purchase the same. Others favor put

ing In the old building but some of the
lodges have committees out looking for
