William II. Wilcox was delight
fully surprised by his brother Odd
Fellows last night. The party ar
rived early in the evening at the
Wilcox resident and found that Mr..
and Mrs. Wilcox hau gone visiting.
They thereupon quietly took pos.
session of the domic!le and fired up
the furnace. They were engaged In
a social game. when Mr.. Wilcox
stepped into the house and was
greatly astonished. II is reported
that he even stepped to the tele-
phone to call up the police force,
but on taking n second look at the
assembled party, and seeing many
familiar faces, he called on Noble
Grand Anderson to explain his bold
act of invading the house. The
noble grand assured Mr.. Wilcox
that there was no danger to him
or his family. He said the ODD
Fellows wanted to have a social
evening somewhere and knew that
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilcox always had a
warm heart and a warm house for
their friends, so Il had been agreed

At that moment Rev. Edward Con-
slant stepped into the house and
stated that he would be able to
solve the problem in satisfactory
manner. With that remark he pre-
sented Mr.. Wilcox with a veteran
jewel of the order, making an elo-
quent and impressive speech as he
did so. Mr.. Wilcox was again as
tonished and said he was not a vet
eran member yet. Mrs. Wilcox
hereupon remarked that Mr.. Wilcox
had been trying to hide his age by
saying that he was not TO be a
veteran member for several years
TO come, but she had noticed silver
threads among the gold.
The callers were delightfully."- en-
tertained by the family and a splen-
did lunch was served. The guests
departed, wishing Mr.. and Mrs. VII.
cox long and happy life and
promising to come again after
twenty-five years.

has reported that 1t has held a meet
ing and the committee favors the idea
of having such show, to follow in a
general way te plan of the Mime

Steps have been taken TO find the
cost Of renting the armory, which is
believed to be the only suitable build
ing for the purpose. for a week,
what the cost of decorating, adver-
Using and so forth will be. II is
estimated that thirty-fve cars can be
shown on the floor. and the smaller
rooms in the building can be used
for the display of automobile acces-
series. The cimmittee believes that
the automobile accessory companies
will be glad to buy space for these
exhibits.
III the show Is well advertised
there Is every reason to believe that
several thousand people from this
part OF the state will come to see
the cars. Further work win be done
by the committee. The plan is TO
have the show in either January or
February.

Some thief stole S35 in silver
change from the cash register Of
the barroom at the Saulpaugh hotel
last night The robbery was discov-
cred early this morning, when the
bartender, Frank Lehman, came to
prepare for the days business. One
of the back windows was wide open.
The lower sash had been raised
and the screen cut, making an open
ing large enough to permit the exit
of a mans body. The edges of the
screen where IL was cut were bent
outward, showing that the thief
must have cut the screen from the
inside, not from the outside.
Further investigating, Mr.. Leh.
mann found that the money that
was left I'm the cash register on the
night before had been taken out.
The register has been left locked
when the place was closed last even
ing. II was still locked this morn
ing, and nothing on it had been
broken. II was evident that the
robbery had been committed by some
person who knew how to open the
register without q key. This is a
secret that some OF the agents OF
the company furnishing the machine
know.
Mr.. Lehman was OF the opinion
that the thief must secreted him
self somewhere In the bar-room, be-
fore Ii was closed last evening
There are not a few good hiding
places, and more than once in the
past men have been found In them,
making the excuse, when they were
caught, that they had fallen asleep
and did not know how they got
where they were.
Two men were picked up by the po-
lice on suspicion this morning and
thoroughly searched but nothing was
found on them to show that they
had anything to do with the rob.
berry and they were released.
