EAGLES HALL BURNED
Two Story Brick Owned by the
Eagles Lodge Completely De-
stroyed.

Tuesday morning about seven
O'Clock fire was discovered in
the feed store of Oscar owen
located in the north store room
o. the Eagles building on Broad
way, The fire had gained con
siderable headway before it was
discovered, and then when the
IRE company arrived the water
plugs were found frozen. This
delayed throwing water so long
mat nothing could be done to
save the building so the whole
attention of the fire company was
gwen to saving Crawford s Laun-
dry on the south. Things looked
dubious for a while, but persist
apt effort finally confined the
re to the Eagles building and
Mr.. Crawford's building was
saved.
The second floor of the build
ng was occupied by the Eagles
iub room, which they in return
rented to the Red Men. Both
lodges lost all of their parapher-
ala.
The corner stone of this build
ing was laid in 1852 with a ma
sonic ceremony.

ORGANIZATION COEPLEYE
New B. & L. Association Ready
to Recaive SubsCrirticn for
Stock.

The organization Of the Lafay-
cite County Building & Loan AS
sociation of Lexington, Mo-, is
now complete The directors met
Monday and elected the follow
ing officers; F. A. Hoefer, presi-
dent; Joseph L. Long, vice-pres-
ident; j. W. Sydnor, secretary !;
N. E. Basket, treasurer, and c.
L. Ristine, attorney.
The directors are: f. A. Hoe
fer, j. G. Graddy, NJ. Ladeson, F.
7. Hix, N, E. Basket, Jos. L.
Long, j. F. Vim, j. F. Forester,
Ike II. Noyes, E. F. Mollenkamp,
J. G. McGrew w. P. Roach and
A. w. Allen.
The officers are men of well
known business integrity, which
fact should recommend the asso-
ciation to the public in general.
The work Of organizing the new
association commenced several
months ago, and was done by f.
I. Hix, who first conceived the
practicability of another B. & L.
Association in Lexington. The
.old association was a success
from the first. 1t was always for
tunate in its management, and
carried on work that has
never been surpassed by any
other association in the state.
But with the growth of Lexing-
ton it has been unable to meet
the demands for money by home
builders, and to meet these de-
mands the new association has
been formed.
A limited number of shares of
the first series of stock is now
available, and may be had by
applying at the secretary's office
