ODD FELLOWS OPEN
Ceremony Of Defeating New
Hall Carried Out Last
Evening.
MANY FROM ABROAD PRESENT
Grand Ohicers Have Charge and
Exercises Are Most Inn
pressive.

The handsome new hall of the
Odd Fellows on the third floor of the
London Clothing company's building
was fittingly and auspiciously dedi-
Gated last evening. There were in at
tendance upon the ceremonies about
500 members of the order and their
families, including representatives
from Davenport, Moline, Peoria, Gin
ton, and many of the smaller sur
rounding towns.
The first ceremony of the evening
consisted of the escorting of Grand
Master c. l.. Harris, of Galesburg,
who had charge of the dedication,
from the Harper to the hall. This
was done by the Patriarchs Militant
in full regalia at $50. Then, after a
number by Bleuer's orchestra and
the opening ode by the Odd Fellows,
Grand Chaplain S. j. Woodin pro-
nounced the opening prayer, there
was another selection by the orches-
ira, and song by the Woodmen oc-
tette, and the actual ceremony of
dedication after the ritual of the
order was begun.
Is Beautiful Ceremony.
In TINS the grand master was as
sisted by Grand Marshal n. c. Mum
son, of Moline, with ID. W. Hathaway
and w. L. Rutledge, of Ucal lodge,
and George and Peter TrenkenscLuh
for Rock Island lodge, as heralds.
The ceremony was most impressive
and beautiful and was carried out
with rare accuracy.
Afterward there came song by
the octette and duet by the Misses
Ruby Sugden and Gussie Siemon, and
ID. f. Krell, who officiated as master
of ceremonies, introduced the grand
master, who delivered the main adj
dress of the evening. He told of the
growth of the Odd Fellows in Illinois,
attributing a great part of the credit
therefor to the Rebekahs, and en-
larged at some length upon the aims
and objects of the two organizations.
When the grand master had finish
ed there was a cornet solo by Robert
Blcuer, Il most effectively rendered
recitation by Miss Myra Bear, and
vocal solos by Mrs. w. f. bradley and
John Hazard. Judge C. NJ. Turner, of
Cambridge, was next introduced and
his address closed the program. Then
supper was served in the dining hall
by the ladies of the Rebekahs and the
remainder of the evening was given
over to dancing.

NO COSTS UNLESS CURED.
A Fair Offer Made by t. II. Thomas to All
Sufferers From Catarrh.

Sufferers From Catarrh.
L. III. Thomas is selling HyOmei ON
plan that has caused considerable
talk among his customers.
The plan is different from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the
remedy itself is different also. This
treatment for the cure of catarrh
has such an unusual record of cures
to its credit that Il. IL. Thomas offers
to refund the money if il does not
give the desired benefit. This is GER
tainly one of the fairest offers that
can be made, and anyone who has ca
tarrh and does not take advantage of
it is doing himself or herself an in
justice.
The Hyomei treatment consists of
an inhaler that can be carried in the
vest pocket, medicine dropper and
a bottle of Hyomei. The complete
treatment costs but 81, and as the
inhaler will last life time and there
is sufficient Hyomei for more than a
months use. the medicine is very in
expensive. Many people who have
used it write that for the good Hyo-
mel has done them they would will
ingly pay thousands of dollars.
Extra bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for use with the inhaler at
80 cents.
Do not suffer any longer with tick
ling, smarting, irritating, burning,
eye-watering troubles that atfiict
those who have catarrh. Hyomei will
cure you. but if you should not find
it adapted to your case, L. IL. Thomas
will return your money.

THE MAKING
OF A LADRONE.
BY BERNARD BARRY.

La Carlota lies at the base Of the
Volcano Malaspinas, on the Island
of Negros, in the Philippines. On
either side of the town the land rises
gradually to billowy masses of green
hill country, where little band of
ladrones wander, defying American
authority, and making planting
in the interior dangerous and un-
profitable enterprise. In the center
of the town there is small, nipa-
rooted church, and close beside it the
foundations of what was to have been
one of the most pretentious cathe-
drals in the Philippines. But even
since the advent of the Americans no
priest has set foot in La Carlota, and
the cathedral will probably never be
completed
The inhabitants of the town were
alight-hearted people till Padre Pablo
conceived the notion Of building that
church. Then trouble came to La
Carlota in the form of increased taxes,
which is baleful form of trouble for
an impecunious people. Besides the
cedula persona tax, they were taxed
for births, deaths and marriages. The
cedula persona rate, being a govern
ment tax, remained unchanged, but
the other three were doubled. Padre
Pablo and his three Franciscan
brethren, who attended to the spir-
itual welfare of La Carlota, could cas-
lily enforce these demands, for infants
had to be baptized, marriages had to
be sanctifed, and the souls of the dead
could not be released from the body
until the passing bell was rung. And
these profitable Offices could be per-
formed only by the representatives
of the church.
Only one man in La Carlota heard
the announcement of the increase
without emotion. He was thinking
over something more nearly concern
ing himself, his own life tragedy.
Maria had just told him that she
loved Diego Menang, consequently it
would have been an affair of no con-
cern to Ignacio Issio had Malaspinas
poured sea Of molten lava over La
Carlota. There was nothing in the
world for Ignacio but Maria's black
eyes. And Maria could never be his.
Not caring to remain to witness the
marriage ceremony that was to seal
his isolation from the world of his de-
sires, he set out from La Carlota Just
as the smallest bell on the bamboo
bell-tower tolled a strokes that the
soul Of child might pass to its rest.
That was the last time that this bell
would usher soul upward for one
peseta. Thenceforward the price was
to be doubled.
lgnacio rode down the main street
OF the town on his ragged pony, see
ing nothing, hearing nothing, until
harsh voice reused him. "Attencion,
1ndio!"
Ignacio looked and saw Padre Pablo
IN his brown franciscan robe. The
angry exclamation was to remind
him that he was to uncover. AS the
Filipino was in no pleasant mood, his
hand hesitated just an instant be.

hung by his side, but he removed his

pearance and mannerisms in the old

pearance and mannerisms in the old
days.
Breathless and indignant Pedro re-
turned. sPadre Pablo says that it will
not be permitted unless we have the
full amount. He says that he will
not cheat the church for a dead
Indio," he painted.
Maria gave vent to wall of utter
despair that reused all the pent-up
rage in Ignacio's heart. He stamped
the ground in fury. care we dogs!"
he almost shouted, shaking his fist in
the direction of the padres residence.
Because of three cents mans soul
is to be buried? Lies, liars, thieves!
Who built that bell-tower? Whose
money paid for the bells? Ours! And
they may not toll to release our souls
except for price!
"You men of the hills! are you
whipped ours, also? Orwill you stand
with me to free lost soul?"
He rushed to the foot Of the ladder
that led up to the bell-tower. The
five herders followed on his heels.
Three of them clambered up after
him to the platform, and he had bare
ly grasped the rope of the largest bell
before willing hands were there to
swing the other three.
Never did a soul pass from Negros
with a louder clamor. The bell-tower
trembled and the changing reverber-
ated through the town till the hill
sides reechoed.
For five minutes the bell swung
jangling. Then the four men slid to
the ground into a circle of startled
and shocked people. From without
the circle strobe tall, brown-robed
figure. 1t was Padre Pablo. All
voices were hushed instantly and the
circle widened.
The friar approached Ignacio and
uplifted threatening hand. "Indio!
Tusilane! IAnti-Christw he shouted.
"You shall be tortured for this"
In an instant Ignacio's cane-knife
was out of the sheath, and like flash
OF light it rose and fell crashing
through the brown hood.
The brown figure fell forward in a
shapeless heap, and a wall Of terror
rose from the circle. Some covered
their eyes, others fed from the awful
spectacle.
Ignacio lifted the knife in his right
hand. "All padres are thieves and
liarsw he shouted. 81 will kill them
wherever find them. Henceforward
| am Pope Of Negros-Papa Issio,"
and he laughed in wild manner.
Shrilly and clearly a bugle call rang
out from the little Spanish barracks.
oOme one mac carried the alarm to the
soldiers.
The herders, sprang to their ponies
backs. "The hill-men to the hills!n
cried 1gnacio, 'and no soldiers will
ever catch us there. Remember, peo-
pie OF La Carlota, | am Papa Issio."
He raised the senseless form of Maria
and kissed her cold lips. Then, with a
half-sob, half-laugh, he mounted his
pony and galloped off with his com
rades.
And he still roams the hills of Ne
gros with band of ladrones, defying
all the laws Of God and man.-San
Francisco Argonaut.
