corah.

The ninety-third anniversary of Odd
Fellowship in America, which is to be
celebrated by the Northeastern Iowa
association in DEBORAH on April 26th,
this year, gives promise of being a
very interesting event in which large
numbers of the order from as far west
as Mason City and extending to Nc
Gregor will participate

chosen for the place of celebration at
the meeting held at Mason City last
April, when George Hislop. G. H.
Baker and r. Bucknell were elected
president, vice-president and secretary,
respectively. Early in this year these
officers, with 3. O. Marsh and Mark
D. Wells. were constituted the execu-
tive committee The character of the
gathering was stated at meeting of
the commercial club and any necessary
assistance that might be required was
freely pledged.
The anniversary committee have
been pushing their plans as fast as pos
sible and the letters that care being re-
ceived from the various lodges indi-
cate that lively interest is being tax IN
in the coming event. For the pur-
poses of the general meeting the Grand
opera house has been secured. Steyer' s
opera house and Marsh's hall have
been engaged for the exemplitication
of degree work. Mayor Dauhney will
make the address of welcome and Sen
ator Robert Quigley of McGregor will
make the response. The principal ad-
dress will be made by Past Grand Mas
ter j. II. Henderson of Indianola. Mrs.
j. w. Lewis, ''the Little Mother of

CONGRESSMAN johnson Robbed.

Washington, July S.-When Con-
gressman Joseph T. Johnson, OF
South Carolina, who lives at 10
Maryland avenue, awoke this morn
ing shortly before o'clock, he found
that his clothing was missing from a
chair by the head of the bed where
he had placed them when he retired
last night.
Going down stairs, the congress-
man found his clothing on a chair in
the parlor. A wallet containing $40
in bills and a small purse containing
some change, some Panama money, a
ticket on the Panama railroad and a
bunch of keys were missing. Mr..
Johnson Immediately notified the po-
lice of the Ninth precinct by tele-
phone. Detectives who went to the
house failed to find anything that
would give them the slightest clue to
the identity of the thief. Congress-
man and Mrs. Johnson were sleep
ing in he same room, but neither
heard the thief at work. Entrance
to the house was gained by a first
floor rear window which had been
left open.
Mr.. johnson SAID tha: bs got up
about 8 o'clock this mcfning and at
that time his clo=h:rs had not been
disturbed. He also closed tae bed
room door at that time, and when
he awoke later the door was open.

Deeper Than Highest Mountain.

The depth of $3.50 meters to
which the sounding line of German
survey ship is said to have sunk in
the Pacific Ocean near the Philippine
Islands is some 1000 meters deeper
than the previous deepest sounding.
Of the total water surface of the
globe, 145,0O0,000 square miles,
about one-third stands more than
three miles above the bottom Of the
sea, but until now no part of the
great oceans has been discovered deep
enough to submerge Mount Everest.
But if there is no mistake about this
depth of $3.50 meters (32,088 feet)
the worlds highest mountain could
be sunk there until it's highest peak
was 5000 feet below the waters
level. The deepest soundings have
all been made in the Pacific; 23,250
feet is the record of the Atlantic, in
proximity to the West Indian island
of St. Thomas; while the North Sea
only averages 800 feet, or about one
tenth the maximum depth, of the icy
waters of Arctic Ocean.-Westmins-

The Pecan in Georgia.

The sale of 600-acre pecan grove
in Mitchell county for 100000 indi-
Gates how pecan grove as an in
vestment is regarded by those with
money to invest. Pecan growing in
south Georgia is of recent date, al
though the trees have been planted
for many years. Of the grove which
sold for small fortune, one-half the
trees are in bearing, although young.
The land on which this grove was
planted was worth SIS to $50 per
acre. In eight years time its value
was increased to 1888 per acre, or
about 900 per cent. From this must
be deducted the expense of planting
and care, but with the most liberal
estimates for these the investment
was a splendid one. And those who
bought the grove got value since the
grove will yield from $4,000 to 1OO,-
900 pounds of nuts this season, and
this will be more than doubled when
all the trees come into bearing. Once
in bearing, the pecan tree is fruitful
for an indefinite time, being hardy
and long lived, and the crop is rea-
sonably certain. Pecan growing is
an attractive observation-disclosures
