This sum reaches the enormous total
of $50. .533. .5S1. so. OF this prodigious
sum the Woodmen of the World con-
tributed $14.500. 600, exclusive of 500

There was JOY yesterday In the house,

Ohio Avenue. when she was presented
with clear title to her home The
mortgage amounted to s575. and was
paid by the Woodmen of the World Of

eral Deputy w. H. Hughes and other
members. Mr. Haase was accidentally
killed last May while digging trench
at Nebraska Avenue and Neosha Street.
He was not a member OF the Woodmen
of the World, but had several times
been solicited to become one, and each
time deferred action. The dire cir

BACK FROM DES MONIES.

The Washington Odd Fellows who
have returned from the session of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge at Des Moines
speak in warm terms of the reception
given them there. THE Sovereign
Grand Lodge has often met In the larg-
er cities of the country. but never in It's
history has any Odd Fellows parade
surpassed the one which was witnessed
at Des Moines. Even the threatening
weather could not keep the Odd Fellows
out of line, thousands of them standing
on the streets watching the parade.
There were evidently Odd Fellows
enough in the city to have added thou
sands to the marching columns. The
Washington delegation says the commit
tees In charge OF the great receptions
given to Odd Fellowship in Des Moines
are certainly worthy of all praise"
The chief incident Of the session of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge was the de :
velopment of serious differences between
Past Grand Sire Pinkerton and the pres
ent Grand Sire, A. C. Gable. The grand
sire referred to his predecessor In his
report and included correspondence with
the latter concerning I. o. o. r. jnsur-
ance in which Cable intlmated undue
anxiety on the part of Pinkerton with
The intimatiOn that an attempt had been
made to improperly influence the Grand
Sire of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows.
The matter was debated at length, but
finally disposed of by striking out the
correspondence The only public an
nouncement made was the following:
THE matter of the difference between
Grand Sire Cable and Past Grand Sire
Pinkerton arising out of correspondence
on the subject of insurance, was adjust
ed to the satisfaction Of said brothers
and the Sovereign Grand Lodge"
A majority of the grand representa-
tives were of the opinion that the mat
ter ought never to have been brought
before the lodge, and there was great
deal of unanimity about the striking
out of the Objectionable passages
Grand Sire Cable denied tina. there
was personal feeling between himself
and Past Grand Sire Pinkerton, and
Past Grand Sire Pinkerton declared the
present grand sire had placed wrong
construction upon letters asking for a
conference before the grand sire's re-
port with relation to insurance was
written.
With these explanations resolution,
the full text of which is not obtain
able. was passed commenting Grand Sire
Cable for his energy and faithfulness in
the matter. but omitting any mention of
Past Grand Sire Pinkerton. which might
throw blame upon him. and at the same
time expunging the Objectionable parts
from the report. This was acceptable
to the Pinkerton men, and the Cable
people asquiesced because the resolution
praised Cable for his efforts in the mat
ter.
One grand representative in speaking
of the. affair." epitomized the proceed
ings by saying: I'VE commended the
zeal of the one and omitted to men
ton the faults OF the other. We did
that here. We smoothed the matter
up so that there will be nothing more
heard of it,
