ODD FELLOWS ORPHAN HOME
Burned Building at Mason City-Like.
- ly to Be Restored.

, MASON CITY. 1oWA.--The members of the
board of trustees Of the Iowa Odd Fellows Or
phans home are in session here, making ar
rangements for cleaning away the debris from
the ruins Of the fire a few weeks ago. It Is
the opinion of the board that the building will
be restored much larger and better than before.
n. P. STARTS, member Of the board, says
" IT building and contents were insured for
$26OO0 and the loss was total. The insur-
ance companies settled with us in full. Three
thousand dollars Of this amount on the fur
niture, which leaves $4,000 for the build
ing fund fund. This is much better than what we
have the grounds already purchased. 49,.
1T Is probable the. grand lodge will order
50-cent per capita tax, which will give us
fund of $4,000. This in addition to the insur-
ance will furnish about $4,000 with which to
rebuild. The original building cost in round
| numbers $4O,OO0.''

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Bemidji, Mimi, Oct. 4.-This city is much
wrought up over the action Of County Attorney
Mcdonald, who today telephoned to all the
saloons and gambling houses, ordering them to
turn their slot machines to the wall and to
remove all roulette wheels and poker tables.
The action of the county attorney was en-
tirely unexpected, and is variously accounted
for. Mr.. Mcdonald himself declares that his
action was dictated by the belief that the peo-
pie of the city want. gambling to cease. His
order has been obeyed to the letter, and there
Is today not a roulette wheel In operation or a
slot machine in commission Ia the city.
1t is generally believed that the county at
torney's action is the opening gun in the mu-
nicipal campaign. On Sept. 20 Belnidji voted
to incorporate as city, after an exciting
campaign, and the election Of officers for the
new city is set for Nov. 7. County Attorney
Mcdonald vigorously opposed Incorporation and
succeeded In lining up solid saloon vote against
incorporation on the plea that the advocate
Of the charter did it carry, would enforce a
| CLOSED town." The charter carried never
theless, by decisive majority, and the business
men of the city, have already inaugurated a
| campaign for business administration of the
city. ."~ 49, -, ..
It is generally believed that County Attorney
McDonald's orders closing the town, coming
just at this time, is an effort to whip the
gamblers and saloon into line in support
OF ticket in opposition to the business men
The order has created great excitement and
| lively municipal campaign is predicted.
