that the Modder river battle was the

probably that General Methuen said
any such thing, unless, possibly, lie
spoke with reference to the losses in
comparison to the total number of men
engaged. No report of the losses has
reached the public yet. AS the number
OF Beers engaged was only about eight
thousand. according to the British re-
ports, and General Methuen is in COM

He was, however interrupted by all

thus: ITO cause ones bowl to fly is an

Great Event in Odd Fellowship.


| From The Tribune, June Z.
Last Thursday evening. May 3lst.,
was an epoch in the history of Odd
Fellowship in Iowa county. Since
the destruction of the odd Fellows
hall and equipments by fire in this
city in 1896. the Encampment, an adj
vance degree of the Order, has been
dormant, practically disbanded.
The encampment at Dodgeville has
also been for some time ineffective,
with nominal membership of about
a dozen. Friends Of the order have
noted this condition with regret, and
hoped for its amendment. Finally
they found Il solution-a merging of
the two camps into one-which was
accomplished on a un limous petit
ton by members of both. that they
be organized under one charter as
Hudson Encampment, No. 80, of this
city. The work was completed on
the date above given, all the mem
bers of the old camps of Dodgeville
and Mineral Point, and sixteen new
ones, total of nearly 40, being en-
rolled as charter members of the
consolidated camp.
