RECEPTION TO ODD FELLOWS Three Link Men and Women Enjoy ft Stormy Night Hugely , CELEBRATE THEIR DAY AT THEIR HALL J'ormntltlii tlint Wore I'reronteil by tlic Snow Mnke Wny lor n V py I'lcnartnt Snclnl HCHN | < III In- iliiiim lnNt . Tht visiting Odd Fellows were tendered a reception last evening In the two halls at Dodge and Fourteenth streets by the mem bers of Omaha lodge No. 2 , State lodge No. ] 0 , Deacon lodge No. 20 and Hesperian en campment No. 2. At the close of the exer cises refreshments were served by the Daughters of Itobckah. There were 200 rep- rcscntntlvcs from neighboring lodges. The exercises were opened by an address of wel- cotno by Mayor Moores. Ho said : It Is fitting when the wholu world Is eel- ebrntlnR hero the greatest triumphs of peace and war and when patriotism Is at Its floodtldo , that this great organization of yours which has wielded so powerful nn In- tluence for good government and good cit izenship almost since the Inception of our government , should be represented. I know- not what precise debt the nation owes to ' 'Odd Fellowship , but I do know that no organization which for more than three- quarters of a century has taken for its watchwords' friendship , love and truth and practiced them BO faithfully as your society has done , could fall to Batten the rancor nnd bitterness of life and bring In nn era of good fellowship. The watchwords of Odd Fellowship arc 'all patriotic. That nation Is doomed to disaster which lacks the cohesive power of friendship to unite Its citizens. Class hatreds nro Inimical to good government. Love , too , IK Indispensable to good government. It forms the hauls of patriotism as well as of family relations. Nations are powerless that do not have the love and loyalty of thflr subjects. Truth Is also nn essential virtue and must be practiced In national. Htato and municipal affairs , as well as In private life. i\li-nl nt tlio ( lril < * r. The keys .of the city were presented by the mayor and accepted In behalf of the Odd Fellows by Grand Master Charles A. . Patterson , who gave a review of the work of the order , saying , among other things : The first , lodge of our order was estab lished In the city of Dalllmore , April 2t. 1819. Since then wo have grown and pros pered until now we have under the Juris diction of the sovereign grand lodge Bovr only grand lodges , fifty-four grand encamp ments , 11,57 ! ) Hiiboidlnate lodges , 4.SU8 Itc- bckah lodges and 2.G3G subordinate encamp ments , with u total membership in all branches of lCG,80l. ! ! The order was the pioneer among secret societies to relieve Its distressed nnd needy members by sys tematic method * To visit the sick , relieve the distressed , to bruy the dead and to educate the orphans are the commands of our laws. Wo are also taught that wo cannot be good members unless we arc faithful to our country. When President McKlnley Issued the order for t. the first call for 100,000 volunteers , 21,615 of the number who went out were members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The first lodge In Nebraska was ctstab- lishcd al Nebraska City In 1S5 , ' . In this- jurisdiction now are 351 subordinate nnd ItebckaU lodges , with a total membership of 13,279 , and more than $200,000 has been expended for relief. In this state special cflorts are now being made to establish an Odd Fellows' home. AVhnt ( In- Po. J. S. Hoagland of North Platte , Neb. , was the next speaker. He said : The grand Influence of the Hcbeknhs Is felt In every lodge. Wherever the sorrowing rowing cry Is heard of the moans of the heartbroken , the Kcbekahs , earnest , Intel lectual women , come with cheerful hearts to minister to their needs. Thdso who do not belong to the order have a small con ception of the work that Is being done for the relief of suffering humanity. As long as fortune smiles In their path they pay lit- tie attention to the needs of others. Hut when sickness strikes them down and death l Impending , they reach out for the grip of their fellow men. Then human life- lights up , the dream of dire distress. At such a time comes Odd Fellowship as n ministering angel to smooth the cares from the wrinkled brow of the dying and with brotherly love nnd substantial aid for the living. Wo love Odd Fellowship because It docs not pass by on the other side. There are many priests and levltes In the world who refrain from giving aid. They arc prosperous perhaps. The thought has not como that at some time they may need the sympathy of their fellow men. Iletter for them that they die like dogs. Such are the teachings of Odd Fellowship and It Is for that reason that I like the order. At ( he close of the exercises an adjourn ment was taken to the other hall , where tables had been spread by the members of the executive board of the Daughters of Rebekah. t/iiflc / Vnnilcr.xvr IN IJfinl. ( . . Ail old negro , familiarly known ns "Uncle" Vandez/eo In the neighborhood , was found c I rail In the dilapidated shanty be called home at Thirty-fifth and Plnkney streets yesterday. The old man wis found lying on the floor In a pool of blood that had Issued fiom bin mouth. The llcor from the door to where he wa- found was covered with blood.

An executive committee , composed of rep resentatives of the various German societies of the city , met last evening In Turner hall to decide whether or not to hold the big parade today that was Intended To bo the featureof Germans' day nt the exposition. Many of the members favored postponing the parndo until afternoon In the hope that a few hours' longer t'imo would serve to make t'ho ' streets drier , but there were none who proposed abandoning It altogether , nnd after numerous discussions the decision of tlm committee was that the parade be held at ) the time originally planed , 11 o'clock this morning , rain or shine. i Numerous other arrangements relating to the program of today's events were made nt tlie meeting , Important among them being the line of march of the parade and the ball ( that will bo held 'tonight In Turner hall.

CONCERNS SIX THOUSAND STOCKHOLDERS Iilltrrnl llilintr ( n lie AlliMTCiI nil Snli- > > rl | > f IIMIM , but .InM How Mtii'li \ \ III lie I'nlil Itcmiil'i. to IIP As the exposition approaches Its close with a good fat balance on the right side of the ledger the question of dividends he- comes a live Issue with upwards of 6,000 sub scribers. Few of them expected to get any of their money back , but now that a good sized dividend Is assured they arc anxious to know whnt the management proposes to do and when It will do It. On this point President Wattles said yesterday that ho U In favor of making a liberal distribution of surplus ns soon ns the show Is over and the management can ascertain exactly whet" > It stands. He favors retaining money enough to cover all possible contingencies and then distribute the remainder In the form of a dividend. This will dispose of the bulk of the surplus and If any more remains - mains after all the affairs of the corporation have been adjudicated a second dividend can be declared. With anything like fair weather during the i remainder of the show It Is believed that H , fiO per cent dividend can easily be de clared. i The apparent surplus Is now about $140,000. ; after all operating expenses arc paid to November 1. How much this will bo Increased during the next two weeks depends almost entirely on the brand of weather that Is provided. That It will ex ceed i $200.000 on November 1 Is regarded as a conservative estimate , under any ordinary conditions < and It may be a great deal more * The ' total amount of paid up stock Is $2GO,000 , on which a 50 per cent dividend would re quire only $130,000. In addition to this , about J27,000 has been received on partial payments on account of which no stock cer- tlilcatcs have been Issued. Much of this amount will be changed to the paid up col- unin before the end of the show. 'For In stance , $4.321 of the $27.000 represents the payments of one subscriber on a subscrip tion of $3,000. As only $79 remains unpaid , It Is taken for granted that the certificate will bo taken out. There are a number of similar casua and the Indications are that only a very email amount of stock will re- main on which only partial payments have been made. Whether dividends will be paid to the sub scribers who have made partial payments on their stock his : not been decided. Some time ago Secretary Wakefleld addressed a letter to C. S. Montgomery , counsel for the exposition association , in which he asked for an opinion on this point. The answer has not been received. . Mr. Montgomery says that while he has his own opinion , ho Iocs not wish to put It on record until he has made a thorough examination of the authorities and consulted the other attor- neys on the Hoard of Directors. President Wattles says that this Is a question that will require a thorough Investigation and that this will be made before the management takes a positive position. In any case the percentage of partially paid subscriptions Is so low that the decision will not affect the rate of the dividend to any great extent. WINTER ATTHE FAIR ( Continued from first Page. ) position after November 1. President Wat ties and some of the members of the execu- , tlve committee are In f.iyor of selling all the buildings , office furniture aud other property nt auction Immediately after the close of the show. A number of proposi tions have been made which contemplate the purchase of certain buildings or material , but President Wattles contends that the best policy will be to dispose of everything tit auction , thus avoiding losses by vandalism and depreciation. The matter was discussed to some extent nt the last meeting , but definite action was deferred. If the board decides In favor of the auction plan , the sale will be advertised at ! once In order that It may begin as soon as the gates are closed. It Is generally conceded that no mat- I tcr how the buildings ore disposed of , the purchasers will bo required to remove then' i as soon as practicable. The disposition ol the management is to close up the affairs of the enterprise at the earliest possible date and carry out Its contract to restart ! the grounds to their original condition. How much grading nnd filling will have to bt . done to fulfill this agreement depends 01 the Board of Park Commissioners. Th i central portion of the lagoon Is Included li j Kountzo park and up to date the , board nan J taken no action to Indicate what Its wishes ' are with respect no the maintenance of the lagoon. If It decides that ) the lake will provt j a too expensive luxury and the exposition ! ' i association IK compelled to fill the entire ex- cavatlon It will bo quite an expensive un- dertaklng. It lu is decided to retain the | lake the task will be much simplified. In any case the hoard will bo required to tnkt action very soon , as It Is proposed to begli the work of reconstruction nt the earlles possible date after the close of the exposi tion. MVH STOCK SHOW IS WAITIXH i\lilliKorM irmvlllliiK Compel , . Uur IIIK I'lifiiYnrnlilc ' \ \ > n Iifr. Yesterday's card nt the live stock nhow was to have been judging In the following j ' classes : Sweepstakes and general purpose j ! breeds of cattle , Dehilue and French Merino sheep. Shetland ponies and Cheshire swine Hut when Commissioner Ulnsmoro arose ant looked out over the ground that was white with snow he decided to call the program off and put It on today. In these classes the entries are numerous and oven with fine weather It will require about all of the time today for the Judges to make the rounds am Pin on the ribbons that go with their judg merit. The live stock show Is scheduled to close on October 20 , but If the weather should con tlnno bad it Is doubtful If the awards can be made by ( hat time , as with snow and rain falling It is next to Impossible to bring the animals Into the show .ring. Again , some o the exhibitors object to ehowlng their anl mate under such unfavorable circumstances contending that the cold weather plnche them up and does not glvo them an equa chance with the animals that went Into th ring last week when the weather was warm and all of the conditions were favorable. The fat stock show , which opens Wednes day and continues over Thursday , promise to bo a feature , as there U n large entry list Including rattle from dozens of herd throughout tht , > country. On the last day o this show , providing the weather I nleatant. the fat cattle and moat of the mil mals In the barns will bo put Into a parade , the route of which will cover an of the ave nues of the Bluff tract aud the two Midways. The animals will be decorated with premium ribbons which they have won In the contests far awards. There U nothing to Indicate that any of the animals have suffered by reason of the In clement weather. Th y have had plenty of the lic t of feed , clean straw for bedding and all of the barns have been kept closed. None of them leak and as a result the anl- main have been Just as well provided for as though they were at home. There haw been an abundance of help to takq car of the stock , so that none of the ureaturrs have Buffered any In-onvenlenee. Ncarty all thu Mockmeu who were here last week still remain nnd many new ones arc coming onto the grounds. Yesterday morning Eugene ( Irtibb , ono of the big tauchern from Colorado , arrived and will spend the balance of the week looking o\er the cattle. Before returning home he In tends to purchase a number of cattle for the purpose of strengthening his herds. C. K. Martin , the secretary of the Na tional Llvo Stock association , who was hero all last week , returned to Denver yesterday. , Before going ho said : "The live stock show at the exposition Is one of the beat , If not ' the best , that has been held In the United States. It has brought together as tine n lot of cattle , horses , sheep and hogs as there are In the world. The whore country ought o take great pride in this exhibit , as It hews what the United States can do when t comes to raising fine animals.

The closing week of the exposition lias been denominated ns Railroad week and the various roads have beqn Invited to co operate in securing ft largo attendance hrough largely reduced rates. They have given assurances that they will do so ami ho schedules will be announced later In the week. It Is proposed to make rates that will bring all the people within n radius of 200 or 300 miles who want to have a final view of the great show and unless the weather should bo too forbidding It la bc- levcd that the lost week will bo far from Delng the least In point of attendance or interest. The exposition will close In a final blaze of enthusiasm Monday , October 31 , and ar rangements are already under way to make Omaha day a fitting culmination of the en terprise. The city nnd county officials , the Commercial club , the Knights of Ak-Sar- Bcn and other local organizations will be lequested to co-operate with the manage ment to this end. It Is proposed to make Omaha day a general holiday on which the schools , public buildings and all business establishments shall bo closed. An effort will also bo made to Induce business men to buy largo blocks of tickets to distribute among their patrons and employees. As a special Inducement to a big attendance every visitor will bo presented with a handsome souvenir badge or medal which will be of sitlllclent value to constitute an acceptable keepsake. This will bo In the shape of n coin If a sufficient number can bo turned out In time , otherwise It will bo a badge of artistic design. The event of the day will bo a mammoth celebration In the Auditorium at 3 o'clock. This will be In the nature of a general love feast and a Jubilation on account of the wonderful success of the exposition. A special Invitation U extended to every stockholder to be present as the officers ex pect to bo able to make a statement that will bo of Interest to everyone who holds exposition stock. The blowout will bo fol lowed by a luncheon to the specially Invited guests at the cafe. ColH Clone * the .Mhlwnj. Yesterday's storm was too strong a coun ter attractions for even the Midway and for once the street had to go out of business. Early in the day some of the attractions opened their doors for business , but the business did not como and before noon ev erything was shut down , with the exception of three or four of the shows. Some of the people suffered considerable from the ef fects of the storm , owing to the fact that scarcely any of the buildings arc provided with the facilities for heating. The foreign section of the Midway suffered more Inconvenience than those people who are accustomed to the northern climate. Some of the Orientals laqked warm clothing and those spent their time hovering around the electric bulbs , usually ussd for lighting thp buildings. They swathed themselves In blankets nnd tried to stay the day out , but long before night they gave up the Job and went down town and ranted heated rooms. The women of the streets were taken down town early In the day and sheltered at the hotels and boarding houses , making no at tempt to open their booths on the grounds. Only a few of the restaurants and lunch stands opened for business during the day. There weru persons to feed , but as the bulk of the eating establishments are Illy pro vided with protection against the inclement weather , people did not care to visit them , preferring to go hungry rather than sit on a stool out In tbe storm. Tclllli-r I'liintH Front IllUon. The men whoso business it was to look after the cannas and other ( lowering plants and shrubs on the exposition grounds were caught napping yesterday. Sunday morning Weather Forecaster WeUh promised much colder weather for yesterday , telling them that It would rain and that It might snow. These people had an idea that they knew moro about weather than an expert and con sequently they made no effort to protect the planU until the snow was upon them and had them well burled beneath the coat of white. Then they hustled , but It was too late , as the oleanders , cnnnas and all of the tender plants had been killed or badly frosted. Last night the bank of hitherto bright flowers and plants along the walls of the east colonnade and In the beds on the Bluff tract looked ns though they had been struck by a cyclone. The vines that had been running up the columns of the viaduct had been blown from their fastenings and the plants In the beds beneath were twisted and broken. The came conditions existed on the Bluff tract , only things were worse. If anything. The ex position management had provided coverings for the plants , Intending that they should be used In Just such emergencies as arose , but the men In charge of the work had left the coverings piled up around the beds , having failed to spread them where they would do some good , I'oMtcr I'limldlu-N Fire. Superintendent Foster of the Department of Grounds earned the everlasting gratitude of the hundreds of children who were upon the exposition grounds yesterday. Knowing that there were no stoves or other facilities In the big buildings for heating , IIP spent moat of the day rounding up the lljtlo ones and conducing them to the second floor of the Service building , whore he had had two big stovoa set up , in which roaring flrea were kept up all day long. He turned the clerks out of these rooms for the day , locat ing them down stairs , and gave up the entire upper floor of the building to the children nnd the grawn people who accompanied them. At times there were as many as iiOO children In the rooms warming themselves nnd drying their clothes. It was hard work to keep the children In the rooms , even with the attractions that went along with a couple of red hot stJves. The little fellows had been given n holiday and had been promised a tour of the exposi tion and they were there for the purpose of seeing the sights an all of thorn. They came to the warm romi. In squads and after hold ing their little fingers out toward the warm etovea for a brief period would skip out and start In on another sightseeing expedition. North DnkulH'H Ccli-liratloii. Over 100 representatives of North Dakota helped to celebrate their state day at the exposition yesterday and felt at home In the snow and wintry blarts of tbe day. The delegation arrived In little groups through- cut the day over 'tho ' Omaha road. The largest party came Jn on the morning train from St. Paul , which was duo at 0 o'clock and arrived about 11.

On the basement levef an arc light was burning , but as the celling is low the glebe has been Inserted some distance Into the floor above and comes In direct con tact with the woodwork. The dampness which soaked through from the Hoer above established a circuit and the woodwork burst Into n blaze. A clerk who went to In vestigate received a severe shock. The nro was extinguished with small loss by the de partment. Another similar vagary of the storm was seen at Sixteenth and Dodge , where a tclu- graph polo caught fire from water and an Imperfect connection and the pole stood a burning pillar. The lire department was In attendance. Quite a serious blaze occurred at the barn of A. AV. Scrlbner , 3116 Woolworth avenue , where some boys were whillng away a rainy day with cigarettes. A spark was dropped in the hay and the upper part of the bulW- Ing was soon In a blaze. The roof was en tirely destroyed and the damage amounted to about Jl.OOO. The building Is the property of A. 0. Foster. The fire department closed a busy after noon by u visit to Frank D. Foster's resi dence. 1C12 Lothrop street , where a gas Jet had been left in too close proximity to the woodwork , and to a vacant house at 1311 Center street , belonging to Joseph Gallughor , where damage was done amotnuntlng to $ .io from au unknown origin.
