There are now something like 23.O00 I. o. O. r. organiZations-over 12O00 subordinate lodges. over 5000 Rebekah lodges. between 2000 and 5000 en- campments. over 500 cantons. 55 grand encampments and G6 grand lodges.
 At the beginning of the year the Odd Fellows home of Pennsylvania con tained sixty aged inmates During 1902 thirteen were admitted. and by a singular coincidence the same number died during the year.
 The Odd Fellows lodge established in Manila has begun work. It is com posed of Americans, Germans and Eng lisllmen in tEat city.
 The social side of Odd Fellowship is not to be ignored, but rather encour- joyment and pleasure and are a means of mingling together to exchange cour tesy and greeting and form companion- ships that often last through lie.
 The pastor of the First NJ. E. church of Carlinville. H., Rev. Dr. J. A. Lu- cas. was recently elected grand juniol warden of the grand lodge of Illinois.
 The Popular Odd Fellow says. The salary of the grand treasurer of the grand lodge of Montana is so year. and he is bonded for S2O.OOO." In Cali fOruia. says the New Age. the grand treasurer gives big bond and gets nc salary at all.

Day-livesay.

On Wednesday evening, June II,
1903,< at the handsome suburban
home of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. b. Fits,
occurred the marriage of Mr.. Randall
Livesay and Miss Ella Nj. Day.
The decorations in the parlor and
library were white and green, in the
parlor an arch of green, from which
was suspended a wedding bell of
white roses, under which the bridal
party entered to the sweet strains of
Mendelssohn's wedding march played
by Miss Olive RodebuSh in a most
impressive manner. To the soft
melody of music the twain were made
one. The English marriage service
was read by Rev. Sutherland. The
bride wore an elegant gown of cream
silk tissue trimmed in lace, ribbon
and ruffles. Miss Beulah Balm as
brides maid wore a pretty gown of
pale blue organdie. The groom wore
conventional black and was attended
by Supt. Aldrich.
After congratulations, the guests, to
the number. of seventy-five, repaired
10 the dining room, where lovely re-
treshments were served, each guest
being presented with piece of brides
cake. Table decorations were red
and green.
In the sitting room the color
sheme was carried out in pink and
green, here Miss Irene Hooper served
frappe.
The many elegant presents they
received attest the esteem in which
they are held in this community,
the bride having grown to woman
hood here. and was one of our most
successful teachers. Mr.. Livesay is
a young man of much promise and is
now city attorney of Anadarko, Okla.
The happy couple left for Anadar-
ko, their future home, June 19, 1908.

North Side Railroad.

Thus far there is nothing new de-
veloping concerning the Galatia &
Smokey Valley Ry., recently organ
lied with capital stock of S50O,000.
We had hoped to have, by this time,
some more definite report of the pro-
gress of this new enterprise. The
stockholders at the time of organiza-
ton were as follows:
James Armstrong and D. c. Bar
rows, of Galatia; F. w. W. Casner, of
Hutchinson; John w. Ailon, King
man; r. H. Nisbet and John Boon,
Karsas City; c. A. Swartz and Gen
eral Chapman, Great Bend; d. F.
Cobb and w. M. Whitelaw, Kansas
City, Kansas, and Henry Eagan of
New York. Mr.. Eagan seems to be
the promoter, and with the assistance
of Mr.. Armstrong has been securing
right of way concessions and contri
buttons to bonus from the people
in the north tier of townships in this
county, and the other localities exi
pected to be benefited by the new
road. They saythat whenever $780,
900 is pledged, either in bonds or
cash donations, the work will begin
on the road. The rails are to be of
new steel, but, some of the rolling
stock will be second handed.
The road will extend from Galatia,
east, to connect with some trunk line
at just what point is not yet made
public, probably at Hollywood.
When there is anything more def
mite to be learned the DEMOCRAT will
inform its readers.

the following resolutions from the
Topeka Commercial Club:
"The effects of this terrible cal
amity that has befallen our city and
county have been greatly mitigated
by the noble and heroic deeds, gen.
erous gifts, material assistance, and
warm expressions of loving sympathy
that came so promptly and freely
from so many persons, cities and
communities both within and without
the State.
'.To each and every person, and
to every organization, community
and city, from whom gifts, help and
assistance of any kind have come, We
extend our warmest greetings and
heartfelt gratitude that cannot be
expressed in words. Many of these
generous and unselfish persons are
unknown to us by name, and we
regret that we cannot express our
gratitude to each in person. To one
and all we are most profoundly CRATE
full"

The fine system Again.

On Monday of this week six of the
dealers in ''soft drinks" appeared,
upon request, before the police judge
of the city and plead. guilty to a viola
tion of the "malt ale, hop tea, etc., .
ordinance, and were fined S25 each
and costs.
This, we are informed, was after a
recent conference of the mayor and
eouncilmen, when the matter of regu-
lating the joints was discussed and the
above plan of monthly fines decided
upon. We understand that Council
men Slentz and. Dale repudiate such
action, ,eand assert that there is trouble
ahead. They are but two members,
however, as against six members, the
mayor, police Judge and city attorney,
and we are inclined to think they
should accept the inevitable, accept
it gracefully, and join with the rest of
the city administration in controlling
as.far as possible the liquor business
in Great Bend.
Under the new understanding the
screens in front of the doors are to
go back. but the fines are to be i'm
posed at the end of the month in
stead of the beginning thereof. The
council assumes no responsibility for
anyone, and the situation is under
stood to be the same as it was under
sthe administration of last year, with
the exception of the screens and the
amount of fine fixed by the ordinance.
