50th ANNIVERSARY |. o. 0. F.
joint Meeting of the the Subor-
dinate Lodge and ID. of r.


No. 7, 1. o. o. F. was organized,
since which time manv men have
travelled the way to Jerico and
learned the lesson OF humanity so
forciblv taught by this noble or.
der. No grauder principles than
Friendship, Love and Truth were
ever inculcated in the tenets of a
secret society and the Odd Eel
lows have always proven true to
the trust, pouring balm into the
souls of wounded brethren in the
struggles which sometimes come.
Many widow and orphan has
learned to sing her praises and
could the reader pay visit to the
home now prepared at Portland
for those who are dependent upon
the order your heart would be
touched with pity, as well as love
of the order which is doing so
much tor the cause of humanity.
Barnum Lodge is No. 7 as to
age in the state of Oregon and
while there are many gray heads
among the membership, she has
never shown the "grey streak"
in the care and protection prom
ised to the members, hence has
spread her wings until in nearly
every town and hamlet in the
state the three links can be
seen suspended in front of every
lodge room. y
The meeting was a veritable
love feast, thoroughly neioyed by
all present. For a little season
during the hour of refreshment
Methodists, Pfesbyterians and
other people "held close commun-
on" while sweet music from the
good old-fashioned accoldian and
common fiddle, softened by the
delicate touch on the "pianer'
filled the air.
Mrs. A. J. Johnson acted as
toastmistress and did the business
up in true Johnsonian style while
Miss Eda Jacobs and A. P. John
son acted as principal advisors
in cases of emergency.
To the ladies of the D. of R.
is due the credit of arrangement,
both of program and banquet and
if they had left few OF "us''
men off the program it would
have been fine. The idea of ex-
pecting men to talk when women
WELD the gavel seems to US ridic-
ulous, but as usual we had to take
our medicine.
The banquet followed with all
the delicious viands usually fur
nished on such occasions. While
we did not partake we saw many
good brethren coming out of the
banquet room licking their mus
tache, hence we know it was good.
Many visiting brethren were
present and received royal well
come.
At a seasouable hour the lights
went out and thus closed a mem
orable occasion in the hearts OF
odd Fellows aud Rebekahs.

TODAY's PROCEEDINGS OF
CONVENTION IN DETAIL

Convention Hall, July S--With the
assurance of another perfect day and
the prospect Of a lively fight over the
report of the committee on credentials
the convention crowd commenced to
move towards the auditorium early
The progress towards the hail. how
ever, was greatly impeded by a great
parade of the Tammany men from New
York, who, headed by band and a
number of gaudily attired Indians
wound their way around the business
section of the city. About one thous.
and men were in line, among them the
leader of Tammany, Charles F. Muir
ply and other big men. 1t was by far
the largest parade so far of the con.
vention.
BY 1870 o'clock all the sidewalks
in the neighborhood of the auditorium
were choked with people. The day was
warm outside, but when the doors OF
the auditorium opened it was found

Credentials Com.
rnittee Decides

BRYAN GAINS IN CONTESTS
Gets Four New Votes From
Oklahoma and Opposition
in East is Reduced.

Denver, July S.--The credentials
committee of the Democratic nation.
al convention was busily engaged last
night and today disposing of the many
contest cases for seats in the conven-
tion. The Bryan forces seemed to
control the committee as the deci-
sions rendered strengthened his chan.
ces for the nomination as in many
instances he gained votes where the
opposition to him was strongest.
The credentials committee sustain
ed the national committees decision
in the contests from Illinois, the Dis
trict of Columbia, the thirty-second
Pennsylvania district, the ninth Ohio
district and increased the number OF
votes of Oklahoma in the convention
from IA to Is.
The committee sustained the &C
tion of the national committee in the
New York and Ohio district contests
The Guffey faction was defeated in
the Pennsylvania contest and the Du.
Bois faction was seated in the Idaho
contest. This adds four Bryan votes
In Oklahoma and reduced the anti
Bryan vote to ten in Pennsylvania.
The decision in the New York case
destroys the hope Of the McCarren
faction to secure seats in the conven-
ton and in the Ohio case the result
was victory for Tom L. Johnson.

All Doubt as to His Hold on the Dele
gates Set at Rest by Great
Ovation
FIREWORKS SCHEDULED TO- BEGIN IN EARNEST TONIGHT
Slow Work of Credentials Committee Causes Delay in
Proceedings Opposition Will Fight to the
Last Ditch.

Denver, July S.-The Democratic ma
tional convention held brief session
today but it will meet again tonight
when stirring scenes and highly color.
ed incidents are expected. The delay
was made necessary by the inability
of the committee on credentials to
have its report ready for the conven.
ton before 2 o'clock this afternoon
The resolutions committee was also
making slow progress and it being
certain that the delay must come
some time it was decided it should
take place today.
The chief interest of the day cent.
cred around the action of the creden.
tials committee in declaring against
Colonel Guffey OF Pennsylvania and
vigorous preparations were made by
that skilled and veteran political war
rior to organize his forces for a final
battle in the convention which he
is determined to carry to the utter
most. In this fight New York for the
first time gave an indication where
its colors will fly in any contest that
may come up and in company with
thirteen other states, signed minor.
|ity credentials report. The aggregate
voting strength of thees states is 376
but that figure is not the exact state
ment of votes that Guffey may be
able to call to his side as not all OF
them are acting under the unit rule.
The feature of today's session was
the enthusiastic ovation which greeted
the mention of Bryan's name in the
convention by Senator Gore of Okla,
homa. This set at rest all doubt a.
to his hold on the delegates, whc
with but few exceptions seemed to be
for the Nebraskan first, last
and all the time. This demonstration
came near routing the opposition tc
him, the leaders of which are deter
mined to carry their fight to the last
ditch. However, Bryan's nomination
on the first ballot seems inevitable.

URT TO BE FLYING
ON EASTERN SOON
President Robt Law OF Santa Fe Cen.
traI Makes This Gratifying
Announcement.

A representative of the New Mexi-
can called at the Office Of the Santa
Fe Central this morning and found
the new management busily engaged
in routine work but not too busy to
entertain visitors and get acquainted
with the people of Santa Fe.
President Robt. Law stated that he
had had the management of the road
crowded upon him sooner than he an.
ticipated as he had intended to as.
sumo control September 1st. at which
time the merger of the Santa Fe Cen.
trail and the Albuquerque Eastern in.
to the New Mexico Central takes eff.
feet. He thinks, however, that It will
all tend to the prompt fufillment of
their plans for the extension and i'm.
provement of the system.
Mr.. Law hopes to be throwing dirt
on the Albuquerque Eastern extension
not later than September first and
says its completion will depend en-.
tirely upon the availability of funds
which may be hampered By the dis
effect of presidential cam.
paign year. The southern extension
will not be taken up until the line
to Albuquerque is in operation.
Mr.. Law is a well preserved man of
over sixty years and has been in the
railroading business all his life and
never in over fifty years has he miss
ed a payday. He was connected with
the Burlington system for many years
and is one of the most successful rail.
road men in the United States.
Construction work on the new line
will be a boon to many homesteaders
in the territory as 1t will come at a
time when it will be sOrely needed.

Bell began vigorously to rap for order
and directed that the aisles be cleared.
1t took over ten minutes to get order
and then the chairman introduced
Rev Christian f. Reisner, of Denver,
who delivered the invocation. At the
conclusion of the prayer, the chairman
announced that the marching clubs

Opposition to Adjournment.
Thomas F. Grady, of New York,
chairman OF the committee on rules,
made the report of that committee
which was adopted unanimously. Res
olutions expressing regret over the
death OF the late James X. Jones,
former chairman of the committee,
were adopted. Ollie James was then
recognized and he moved that re-

like a spark in a barrel of powder
| The demonstration was confined large
ly to the delegates. A Bryan banner
carried to the platform gave fresh
impetus to the cheering. The New
York delegates as a rule sat still and
practically every state banner was
obliterated. But Georgia, New York
Delaware, Connecticut and New Jersey
took no part. At :37 o'clock the dele
gates began marching around the hall
The galleries at first took very lit
tie part. At the end of 30 minutes
there was no apparent sign that the
tumult would soon be ended. Every
possible device to increase the up
roar was employed. One enthusiastic
delegate cheered SO hard that ne
dropped his false teeth under the
press tables.
At 2:30 o'clock the convention took
a recess until eight o'clock. The
Bryan demonstration lasted one houl
and twenty-seven minutes.
