RED-LETTER EVENT.
Local Odd Fellows to Receive Grand Master
FavsnS,

Wednesday evening, April 10, 1908,
promises to become noted in the an
nails ofOdd Fellowship in this town.
Stark Lodge No, has enjoyed long
and honorable career since its institu-
tion February IL, lS47, and has been
in the public eye on many occasions,
Several circumstances conspire to give
promise of a most unique function next
Wednesday, which at the outset was
to have been simply a visitation by
DIR. Walter l.. Havens of Chester
Depot, Grand Master. 1t having been
several years since the chief executive
OF Vermont Odd Fellowship had paid
visit in person to this lodge, the no
tice of his coming, as above, and re-
quest that a degree be exemplifed, set
the members TO thinking. Suggestions
followed rapidly and it was soon made
possible to, not only give the Grand
Master and his suite a proper reception
but to collect a class of eighteen (pos-
sibly one or two more) candidates up
on which to work the.degrees of Odd
Fellowship. Many details of the event
have not yet erystalized, but the gen
eral features will be a dinner in the
early hours, the ritual exhibit and
speeches, lunch after the meeting
and whatever additions may be formu-
lated by the officers, led by A. c. NJ.
French, Noble Grand.
The Banner and Reformer congratu-
lates this flourishing local society up
on the probable outcome of its pro-
posed regular meeting next week.

Change Of Meeting Place.

Special to Times Republican.
Oskaloosa, Nov. 17-The apparent
disinclination of Des Moines pastors to
cooperate with the officers of the Iowa
Gideons has lost for that city the state
convention which was to have been
held rherc on December 25, Is and 81
Instead the state gathering will go to
Oskaloosa, and the date has been
changed to January l, and g.
The lukewarmness of the preachers
OF the capital city is said to have been
the sole cause for the change. They
apparently evinced no great desire to
cooperate with the travelling men In
according them the reception they de-
sired, SO the change was made to Os-
kaloosa, where they have been accorded
a hearty reception. President W. n
Darnar. Of Marshalltown. when seen
this morning. said the action of the Des
Moine.s preachers was solely RESPONSE
BILE for the convention being taken else
where. Oskaloosa was chosen for the
reason that not only had q hearty
invitation from the pastors been re-
ceivetl, but the mayor and city council
had likewise urged the selection 0.
their city. Marshalltown would have
been selected had 1t not been that the
first convention, four years ago. was
held In that city.
