Odd Fellows yesterday one of the most
important questions that probably will

~ each me" Der of the order for the
purpose of raising a fund to be used
in the construction and maintenance
OF a national sanitarium at Hot

peared, called for a special levy Of so
cents per capita, and was referred to a
committee. c-
1t is estimated that $4,000 visitors
were here yesterday. The parade yes
terday afternoon contained $4,000 men
in line, including fifty-eight brass

THE WEATHER.

Frost is predicted for tonight by
Weather Forecaster Cox. He doesn't
figure it will be heavy enough to do
much damage, but says it will be
severe enough to warrant people in
taking in all except the hardy plants.
Warmer weather is due tomorrow,
which will be fair, according TO the
weather man. There are not likely to
be any extremes in temperature for
several days, SO far as present indica-
tons go. In fact, next week may be
considerable warmer than this.
