NINETY YEARS YOUNG.

Monday American Odd Fellowship
passed it's ninetieth milestone. IL wa
80 years young. The occasion was cele-
brated around the world and in elo-
quent speech aud poem aud song the
story of its achievements and charities,
that are as the stars Of heaven in num-
ber, was told to admiriug thousands.
The order in America was suggested
to its founder, Thomas Wildey, by what
is known as the old Manchester Union
of Odd Fellows of England. This order
was convivial sort of organization and
its members, after the business Of the
evening had been dispatched, sang
songs and drank beer aud had real
jolly good time. They had sick and
death benefits and did much good in
their way,
Wildey aud those associated with him
determined on a somewhat different
program, but retained many of the fea-
lures of the Manchester organization.
They made mutual help and brother
hood the corner stone of the new in
stitutIon. 1t was incumbent upon the
early members, as it is on those today,
to visit the sick and administer to their
necessities, to educate the orphan and
bury the dead. to relieve the distress of
brothers and aid them in finding occu-
patton. These are the cardinal princi-
Piles of Odd Fellowship.
From that little company of four
gathered in small upper room in the
city of Baltimore in 1919, has grown the
magnificent order of today, that num-
bers two million members, including
the women's order of Rebeckas con.
nected with the main branch, and its
abundant charities and benevolences
following the sun, like England's roll
of drums, around the world.
The order expended this year nearly
five and half million dollars in bene-
fits to its members. 1t has grand
lodges in Australia, in Germany, Dem
mark, Sweden, Switzerland and the
Netherlands. Ex-Grand Secretary D.
L. Badley, veritable apostle of Odd
Fellowship, helped to organize lodge
at Manila while he was there with the
Idaho volunteers.
In Idaho the order has made phenom-
email progress. las present membership
in all its branches is not far from l7,000
1t has over a thousand members in
Boise, housed in one fine temple and
two very fine halls.
As the old Greek athlete and warrior
regained his strength when he touched
again the earth from which he sprang
so American Odd Fellowship renews its
youth by touching the sources of its
origin. and lingering fondly over the
story of how it sprang from the bosom
of the great common people. 1t stands,
like kindred organizations, sacred to
the conservation of the best interests
of humanity.-Statesman.

Looks Like Murder.

George Nichols, who lived on his ranch
on Trout Creek, between DeLamar and
Jordan Valley, was found dead in his
cabin, on last Tuesday, by his neighbors,
Alex and Barney Ozello, who at once in
formed the Coroner, DIR. I. d. Farrer.
On arriving at the place and observing
the surroundings, the DIR. decided to
at once call coroner's jury, and at once
notified the county officers. Sheriff
Krieg returned Wednesday evening and
reports that the jury found that ''the de-
ceased came to his death from a gunshot
wound inflicted by parties unknown. !"
The body was lying on the floor and sew
eral pools Of blood were found in other
parts of the cabin. A revolver was lying
on the floor beside the body, with one Of
the cartridges discharged. The bullet
entered the head just back of the right
ear and came out above the left eye,
passing through the head and undoubtedly
causing instant death. AS the surround
ing circumstances are such to indicate
that the wound was not self-inhicted,
there is much mystery surrounding the
affair.
Mr.. Nichols was veteran of the Civil
War, having enlisted in Michigan regi-
ment, and was about 20 years of age. No
clue has been found to indicate who
could have committed this dastardly
crime, but our officers will do their ut
most to apprehend the guilty party.
