Rsbekah District Convention.

Monday night last was great nigh
for the Rebekah branch of Odd Eel
lowship in Laclede, it being the occa
sion Of the meeting Of the Rebekaf
district convention. Visitors from
nearly all the lodges in the district
were in attendance. Brook6eld send
ing 45, Bucklin 20, Browning 81 and
other lodges in proportion.
Any amount of enthusiasm was
manifest all through the meeting, and
the convention was pronounced the
largest and best of any ever held in
this district. Credit must be given
the Laclede Rebekah lodge for this,
as neither labor nor expense was
spared to attain this end.
The Browning degree staff exempli-
fed the work in beautiful manner
which merited and won the applause
of the entire convention. The degree
staff of Brookfeld, one of the best in
the state, also gave an exhibition Of
their floor work, which can be equaled
by but few lodges in this jurisdiction.
The Odd Fellows hall was taxed to
its utmost capacity, as there were
over one hundred visitors present, as
we'll as almost the entire membership
Of the local lodge.
During the convention speeches
were made by prominent members of
all lodges represented, as was also an
address by Mrs. r. S. Kathan, of
Bucklin, president of the Missouri
Rebekah Assembly. These addresses,
music, etc, added to the general good
fellowship felt by all, made the occa-
sion one which will long be remem-
bered by those present, and, after a
banquet which kept all until the ear
ly morning hours, every one, without
exception, departed for home or hotel
feeling that Odd Fellowship is "all
right"

For Public improvements.

The new city boar,l promises to be
active and progressive, and to do
things. There is much that can be
done to make Laclede a better and
more substantial town, Improvements
to be made that will be for permanent
good. OF course the whole does not
rest on the city officials, but they are
expected to take the lead, enforce city
ordinances and make new ones to fit
different occasions. The subject OF
better sidewalks, better crossings and
better streets is one of the most impor-
tant-in fact, it is paramount at this
time. The subject of lights is one of
the most difficult problems towns Of
the size of Laclede have to solve, and
it is now being much discussed. The
spirit of public improvement was new
er more rife in Laclede than now and
the property owner with poor side
walks and a dirty yard who does not
join in the chorus this spring may be
called on to sing solo with the may
or and the marshal for an audience.

Township Organization Knocked Out.

Township Organization Knocked Out.
In an opinion handed down by
judge Burgess, of the supreme court,
on Friday of last week, township organ
ization in Linn county was held to be
invalid. The knocking out Of this law
creates the Office ofcounty assessor and
county collector. These are two very
desirable offices and the vacancies are
to be filed by the governor. W. R.
Ba rton, of Laclede, is candidate for
assessor and is meeting with much en-
couragement over the county; in fact,
it looks as if he would be an easy win
ner, although there is another candi-
date in the field in the person of Judge
Phillips, of jackson township. Every
person in Laclede and Jefferson town
ship takes pleasure in endorsing Mr..
Barton as a man of splendid ability
and unimpeachsble honesty and in
tegrity and possessing all the qualif-
cations necessary, and they viii also
endorse his democracy If the governor
has any doubts along that line.
