SEEKS NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Local Lodge Of Elks Will Hustle for
1910 Gathering.

The feature of the meeting of the Wash
ington Lodge of Elks last night was the
discussion of the subject of securing the
annual convention of the Elks of the
United States for this city In 1910. The
meeting was presided over by Ernest w.
Emory, exalted ruler.
1t was declared that an Elks' convention
in this city would attract about $1,000
visitors, but that, with Baltimore in the
east bidding against this city, it was not
probable it could be held here as the
Baltimoreans always outbid this city.
The next convention of the lodges is to
be held in July in Dallas. Texas. and
Hugh F. Harvey past exalted ruler Of
Washington Lodge will be the local rep
resentative at the gathering. 1t is expect
ed that the convention next year will be
held at Seattle Washington where the
Yukon exposition will be an added attrac-
ton. No provision has as yet been made
for 1910 and Mr.. Harvey will make an
earnest effort to secure the convention for
this city.
Fred J. Mersheimer chairman of the
executive committee for the rural jubilee
and barn dance to be held at Benning
next week reported progress in the work.
He stated that many new features are be-
ing secured for the program. the feature
of which will be high dive of 40 feet
into a five-foot tank by Althea, a local
gymnast.

the bridge at Twining City to enjoy an
afternoon in the country. When he
reached Randle Highlands he came across
a cherry tree. and it required but one
thought for him to climb to the upper
limbs, where the fruit was ripe. other
bows also climbed the tree. while still
others were satisfied to pick up the fruit
that fell to the ground. The Downs boy
lost his footing or a branch of the tree
was unable TO hold him and fell to the
ground near where his companions stood.
1t was not an unusual sight to the COM
panions to see one of their number fan
from a tree. and but little attention was
paid to the incident until it was noticed
that the victim of the accident remained
silent a few seconds. His companions soon
found that he was unconscious. and the
police were summoned to assist him. He
was removed to the Casualty Hospital.
where it was stated this morning that he
was out of danger.
