MR.. HANNA QUITE WEAK.
His Condition Shows the Effect Of the
Fever.

Senator Hanna was reported to be very
weak at 8 o'clock this afternoon, but his
private secretary. Mr.. Dover, stated that
this was no evidence of a serious sinking
spell, as far as he was aware.
The senator's condition at noon, accord
ing to the bulletin issued by Drs. Rixey,
Osler and Carter, was worse than it was
yesterday and last night. His temperature
was one degree higher than it was at 6
o'clock last evening, when the last bulletin
of yesterday was issued. His pulse at
noon was 100 beats to the minute. an in
crease of eight over the last report.
Last evening his respiration was reported
to be "a, and the % of today is regarded as
a sign of the increasing weakness. The
latest bulletin does not say that the pulse
is regular, which was the case yesterday.
He took nourishment today.
The bulletin issued at noon today follows:

The senator's weakness is attributed
the fever. In fact, they express some
surprise that he has borne up SO well
under the high temperature.
If there was any great danger of a sink
ing spell from the heart the doctors would
certainly remain in close attendance. This
Is not the case. Mr.. Dover, Senator Han
mas private secretary, said at o'clock that
all three physicians would remain away
until evening.
After the last consultation of his physi-
clans yesterday the announcement was
made by Senator Hanna's brother, H. M.

its members that whether rich or poor,

are each alike entitled as a right to be
visited when sick. to receive a specified
amount each week as sick benefits, to
be buried when dead and a specified
amount paid as funeral benefits or
funeral expense, and that their widows
ard orphans shall be cared for. To IL

Nv ! ment to define the causes
M which led up TO the formation
w of fraternal associations, il
viii be the aim of the writer
in as brief a manner as possible TO
give some facts and figures relating
10 the largest fraternal society the
world has ever known. the Independent
Order Of odd Fellows, or. for the pur-
pose OF positive specification. the
American order. odd Fellowship or
Institutions doing business under that
general title are numerous, especially
ia the Old World, and there are large
associations. notably the Manchester,
Leeds. Bolton, Birmingham and other
unities, with not less than 1.500 600
members all doing good work. but in
no wise connected with American odd
Fellowship. The order Of odd Fellows
originated in England in the eighteenth
century. The celebrated writer. Daniel
De Foe, mentions such a society and
the Gentleman's Magazine Of London.
ia 1745, speaks OF an odd Fellows
lodge being "a place where very pleas
ant evenings are spent" and in 1888
the poet, James Montgomery, wrote a
Song for a body Of odd Fellows, one
verse Of which is often quoted:
When friendship. love and truth abound
Among band OF brothers.
The cup OF JOY goes sayly round
Each shares the bliss OF others.
In these early English lodges or So
cieties there is but little doubt they
were mostly of a social character, with
very little. if any, ritualistic work,
while at the same time the help one

headquarters were in London, but a
mechanic, by name Thomas Bolton,
who belonged to a lodge in Manchester.
and a few of his associates in 1909
founded what is now known as the
Manchester Unity. from which the
American order has descended.
After a number Of attempts to
institute a lodge in America Wash
Ineton Lodge No. was formed at the
Seven Stars Ina. in the city OF Bal.i-
more. Nd. on April 2e, 1919. The
founders Of the order and the first
quorum were Thomas Wildey, John
We-sh, John Duncan. Richard Rush
worth and John Cheatham. This
lodge received its charter from the
Duke OF Yorks Lodge Of England. n.y.
der the rather striking title OF NASH
ington's Lodge No. !, the Grand
Lodge OF Maryland and of the United
States Of America Of the Independent
order OF odd Fellowship. This WAS
the beginning on American soil. With
varying fortunes and still holding re-
latiOns with the Manchester Unity,
the order progressed until 1s43. when

whole Northwest is taken into con-

There are other crops besides wheat
and wheat is not so bad generally.
Where it is bad the fields will yield
enough to bring in as much as they do
under normal conditions. Oats, corn,
flax and barley are good crops.
We are getting only the usual num-
Der of cancellations of orders and we
look for excellent trade the rest of the
year.
The fact that this is the year of

ence to trade generally. In Wall street
it might have some influence, but the
country has long outgrown Wall
streets little foibles. We can get along
without Wall street now. With a few

Treasurer The State Savings Bank
The wheat crop, as f understand 1T, has
been hurt in spots by the rust. It has
not all been damaged and some very
large districts were not touched by the
blight. Where the pest was heaviest
felt absolute ruin did not follow ex-
cept to individuals here and there who
did not diversity, who staked their
prosperity on the wheat alone and who
had the bad fortune to be in the thick
est of the rust.
No one would say the country was
going to smash because some big COM
mercial house or bank went to the wall.
The country is greater than individuals
and its prosperity is not dependent
upon their fortune or misfortune.

which, at the price it was selling for at
that time, would have proved a bonan-

Later reports showed the rust in
some sections and undoubted damage
to the fields. The scare produced in
the minds of wheat traders was re-
fiected to a certain extent on the bust
ness community, not because the crop
was ruined, but because it was not
going to be great wheat crop and
one equal to the common expectation.
Business is good, has been good and
is going to be good. We are receiving
no more than a normal number of

Northwestern Passenger Agent Chi
-cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul-The
Northwestern crops are not ruined.
Nobody ever believed they were, but
the people looked for such a big crop
from early indications that when the
truth about the damage to wheat be-
came known they compared their pre-
conceived notions OF the crop with the
actualities and the result showed such
a difference that it looked serious to
them.
The passenger business is better
than it was last year and general bust
ness based on the agricultural prosper
ity of the country in my opinion will
not suffer on account of the wheat
rust.
