THE ISSUE UP BEFORE.
Virginia Institution Only Home Main
tanned by Order in Country-IIas
About Eight Inmates.

Richmond, July 10.-The EEks' Ma
tional Home will remain at Bedford
! City. This information came last
night in a telegram from n. S. Rich
ter, delegate from the local Elks'
ilodge to the national Elks' conven-
tion at Rochester, addressed to
Exalted Ruler Eugene Brauer. The
lniessage states that the convention
voted yesterday to maintain the ma
,tional home in the Virginia town, and
brings the additional information
;Ithat the next annual convention will
be heard at Denver.
TO Virginia Elks the action of the
{; order in the matter Of the national
home is particularly gratifying. An
organized effort has been made at
the pasr two or three national meet
| ings to. secure the removal of the
home from Virginia to points vari-
ously suggested in the North and
West. The movement was strenuous
ly opposed by the Virginia 3elega-
tions, which succeeded year after
tyeaa in mastering enough strength to
defeat it.
The Elks' National Home was es
tablished at Bedford City about
twelve years ago, and is the only
ZONE maintained by the orr:er IN thG
United States. For the past several
years it has been caring for about
eighty inmates. II is designed to
Itake care Of aged and INDECENT MEM
bers of the order.
With the matter finally settled the
way is left clear for the enlargement
of the home provided for by a $3.50,
900 appropriation made by the order
for that purpose several years ago.
The improvement was halted pend
ling the adjustment Of the conflicting
sentiment as to the homes permanent
location.
Rochester, N. Y, July 1O.-The
Grand Lodge of Elks has accepted
the S26O,OOO bid of a Salt Lake con-
tractor, and will build a new national
home. Whether the home shall be
on the site of the present home IN
Bedford, Va, or elsewhere, rests
with the National Home commission
of which Garry Hermann, OF Cln'
cinnati, is chairman

Hermann, on plans for the home oc'
cupied all yesterday afternoons ses'

sion has reported in favor OF erect

favor of IFS erection at some o'he'
place. The only expressed objection
to the present site is that the IN
mates are isolated and become lone

who are left behind to mourn the
loss of wife and mother. Mrs. Bell
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. 9. Strom and was reared in the
Rehoboth neiehborhood. She gave
her heart to the Lord and united
with his band of followers at Reho-
both church about 1883. On Janua-
ry lst, 1900, she was married to
Mr.. J. M. Bell and then moved her
church membership to Little Ste

her death. On Friday the 2lst., she
was laid to rest to await the final
coming of her Lord whom she loved
and served while here on earth. The
funeral was conducted by the pas

friends of both Mr.. and Mrs. Bells
families. In her immediate family
she is survived by daughter, Mar
