THE GREAT |. @. 0. F.
JUDGE PAUL A. BENSON TO PRESIDE
AT MEETING-ELEVEN EXCURSION
TRAINS-BAND CONCERTS.

Big as was the /. o. 0. +. reunion at
Pen-Mar, last year, there is reason for
the belief that the annual gathering of
the order there, Thursday, August 6,
will be even larger
One Of the controlling factors to-
ward this bigger crowd il the fact that
more excursion trains will be rum to
the park and that many more excur-
sionists are expected. For the first
time there will be run a special train
over the Norfolk and Western railway.
1t will start from Elkton, Va, and
there are already assurance that it
will bring a very large number of
Odd Fellows To Pen-Mar. For num-
Der Of years the lodges in that sec
tion have wanted the opportunity to
take part in the reunion and they
train. .-
There will be eleven excursion
trains to the park, A. follows:
On the wv. Nj. Ry-From Baltimore,
York, Shippensburg, Westminster,
Cumberland and Hagerstown.
On the c. v. R. R.-From Harris
burg and Winchester.
On the B. & O.-From Baltimore via
Ellicott City (this had been discon-
tinued for several years., from Wash
ington via Weaverton.
N. & W.-From Elkton, Va, the
first /. o. o. F. excursion train ever
run over this road to Pen-Mar.
There will be large crowds carried,
also, by the c., G. & W. and the H. &
F. trolley lines.
In addition to the w. MI. excursion
Il fVnf fr,c, IrNr~ %01I
from Connellsville. Travelling Pas
senger Agent NJ. T. McNeal believes
one can be arranged and that it will
bring many people.
Last year the train out of Cumber-
land was not large enough and $50
persons were compelled to make the
trip on the regular train. This year
there will be an avoidance Of like
| trouble.
C. A. Geesaman, secretary of the
reunion committee, is receiving,
daily, reports from lodges in many
sections, telling of much interest and
Of prospective large attendance.

mon pleas court OF Erie county, grand

THE bureau of statistics of the de-
partment of agriculture estimates that
on the basis of farm values June LIST
the losses from disease of cattle, hogs
and sheep aggregated in value about
S122, 900, 900. and losses from exposure
of cattle and sheep about $28, 600, 0OO-
a total loss in meat animals from dis
ease and exposure in one year of about
$3.50, 600, 000-an amount which would
have been more than sufficient to fur
nish a normal years supply of meat to
the entire population of the New Eng
land states. The epidemic of hog chol-
era caused losses of 134 per 1000 head
last year. The state of Iowa alone
lost one-fourth of the entire number of
swine.
