portant duty The Subject of Oddfel-
lowship is more than a century old;

gard to it's teachings and duties,

I am about to indulge in, will be ac-
ceptable. at least, to the younger and
newer members present; who perhaps,
have not had an opportunity to in
form themselves upon the subject of
OddfeIlowship.
L will touch upon the earlier history
of our order, and it's struggle to cast
out vice from among it's associates, its
objects, it's teachings, it's government,
and its principles.
I feel that the present should be an
occasion of sincere and heartfelt re-
joicing for Oddfellowship in general,
and for the membership of this juris-
diction in particular. The progressive
spirit OF enterprise that seems to be
inherent in the very nature of our Or
der throughout the world, has culmin-
ated in the case of Excelsior Lodge, in
the erection of home dedicated to the
grand purifying principles of Oddfel-
lowship. We trust. with the blessing
Of the Supreme ruler of the universe,
that this building will escape the many
dangers that constantly threaten the
abodes of men, and will remain for
many years monument to the brave
and intrepid character of the present
membership Of Excelsior Lodge, who,
undismayed by the many difficulties in
the way, have thus in a marked degree.

history of our Order tells US that the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows is
not an American institution. Exactly
when and where it had it's origin, his
tory seems to be unable to settle defin-
itely. 1t is old enough, however, to
have had the most foolish and roman
tic stories published,- concerning it's
early life. 1t was from its outset, Eng
lish, and was most likely one of the
mutual relief societies which history
informs us have been so numerous, in
England, since the days of the Re-
formation. The oldest Lodge on the
continent of America of which we have
authentic record, was Washington
Lodge No. 1, of the city of Baltimore,
Maryland, which was organized in
April, 1919, comprised exclusively of
E.nglishmen, and chartered by the
Duke of York Lodge, Manchester
Unity, in the same year. Two years
earlier than this an Englishman who
had passed the chairs in his own coun-
try. arrived in the city of Boston and
after two years diligent labor in watch
ing the passenger ships from the old
country he managed to find enough
countrymen who had been Odd Fellows
abroad to enable him to establish a
Lodge in that city. which was formal
ly done in March, 1920 under the style
and title of Massachusetts Lodge No.
1. This movement in Boston was I'M
known to the Baltimore brothers. Both
Lodges were composed of Englishmen,
and it was not until two years later
that they became acquainted with each
others existence. There is an account
of an earlier Lodge than either of
these, the Shakespeare Grand Lodge, a
self-instituted body, organized in the
city of New York in 1906, but of the
fate of this Lodge history is silent. and
it seems to have died natural death,
before Oddfellowship really began it's
work on American soil. On the 18th
day of May. 1926. the Grand Movable
Annual Committee as it was then call
ed, of the Manchester Unity ratified,

STRONGER NAVY
The Kaiser is Determined to Get
One.
Desires . Navy to Equal That Of
England.

Berlin, Sept. l2.-The speech which
the kaiser made the other day in the
,ity hall of Hamburg is generally taken
% mean that he. in spite of all oppo-
,ition and the lack of money in the
treasury, will make a new demand on
The Ttichstag for stronger navy. 1t is
well known by all close enough to the
Saiser to get any inkling of his most Sc
ret plans, that he greatly favors an
alliance between Germany, Russia,
France and Japan, which, he thinks,
will dominate the world and Offset the
growing power of the United States
with whom he always forsees a con-
ict, though lfe lets. no opportunity
pass without accentuating the friend
hip existing between Germany and
America. II is his fondest hope, these
persons say. in time to get navy pow
'rful enough to cope with that of the
United States in case Germany should
~ to found a colony in South Ameri-
"a. He knows without any doubt that
ne will meet with strong opposition
rom the Socialists in the Reichstag,
jut, as he pointed out in his speech,
when five years ago he made his first
,peech to the German people for an in
rease of Germany's naval power, the
'esponse surpassed all his expectations,
and for this reason he expects that the
latriotism of the German people will
De greater than their love of money
md that they will declare themselves
ready to bear any sacrifices for the
,ake of the fatherlsnd.
There are also many here who be-
lieve that this demand of the kaisers
or a mighty navy is hint to Eng
and that Germany will never give up
her efforts to build up II naval power
,qual even to that of Great Britain. In
speaking to the people of Hamburg, the
kaiser showed himself great diplo-
mat. knowing that the people are
greatly proud of being citizens of a
free and independent Hansa city, he
called himself a foreign sovereign but
an old friend of the people of Hamburg,
thereby emphasizing that he recogniz'
ed the independence of that great city.

Lived for Years Near OwensborO
in Daviess County.
She Was Arrested ct Evansville For
Alleged Robbery In Indian
Territory.
SAID TO HAVE LED A GANG

Mrs. Fredonia Brown -Haralson- Sand
fur Faulkner, one of the best known
women who ever lived near Owensboro,
in Daviess county, is under arrest on
charge of robbery and will be taken
to Chickasaw, Indian Territory, to be
tried in the United States court for
her alleged ofrense. She was arrested
in Evansville Tuesday night.
The first robbery reported as having
been done by the gang of which Mrs.
HARRISON was said to be the head, was
committed on February 2l, 1908, when
a bale of silks, valued at $547, was
stolen from a train at Chickasaw. Ev-
cry effort was made to find the goods,
but no trace of them could be had.
Then other packages disappeared, al
ways silks or something equally valua-
Bile. Finally a detective traced pack
age TO Mrs. Haralson's boarding house,
and took lodging there for several
days in order to prosecute his search.
Mrs. Haralson is said to have suspect
ed him and all at once she went out
of the boarding house business and an
nounced that she was going to st.
Louis and disappeared, After she had
departed plenty of evidence was found
but she was not.
She came back to Delaware, her old
home, accompanied by her son, Ingram
Haralson, and remained there several
weeks, living very quietly and making
no display of wealth although she had
money to pay her way. Three weeks
ago she left and went 10 Evansville,
writing back TO friends that she had
started boarding house. At Evans
vile she did not start boarding
house, but took room on the third
floor of one, and gave out the informa-
tion that she was an expert cook and
was looking for place which paid
high wages.
A letter addressed TO Ingram Haral-
son at Delaware gave the detective the
first clue that she was in Evansville,
and following it up, Mrs. Haralson was
arrested. When the officer entered her
room he found a large quantity of fine
silks in bolts piled on a sofa and her
trunk and wardrobe were filed with
silk dresses, some of them evidently not
made for her, and none of them worn.
She was very indignant over her ar
rest, but when the detective uncovered
the bale of silks he said that she broke
down and confessed and asked what
they would do with her.
Mrs. HARRISON formerly lived at Della
ware. She was a striking looking wom-
an, fine talker and very smart. There
was cloud on her early life about
which she always told pathetic story.
She married Uncle Bob" HARRISON, the
old ferryman at Delaware, and was
known to everybody in the neighbor-
hood as Aunt Dony," her given name
being Fredonia. He died and she mar
ried Mr. Sandefur, with whom she
lived but short time. She went west
two or three years ago and wrote back
that she had married wealthy ranch
man named Faulkner. She has many
relatives in Daviess county.
