Highly years ngo > cstcrdny Odd Fellow
ship -was Introduced Into America. The ro-
Clirrllig anniversaries ot this event are the
occasions for social celebrations by mem
bers of the order. Thu eightieth anniver
sary was no exception , and the Odd Fellows
of Omaha and their friends gathered at
Oslhoff'fl hall on North Sixteenth street last
night In goodly numbers to fittingly cele
brate the duy.
The ihst part of the program was opened
with a innsclal selection bv an orchestra ,
followed by a song by the popular Jenny
Llnd quartet , composed of Mica ttmiim
Moeller , soprano ; Miss Knim.t C. Gentle
man , contralto , Adolph IMgren , tenor , and
C , A. Jacobion , bass. The quartet responded
to n demand for an encore.
The flrat address was by A. H. Wlcr of
Lincoln , past grand master , who gave a
general history of the order. He said Odd
FellowHhlp was essentially the poor man's
organization , as It was founded In England
by worklngmen banding together for mu
tual protection. Ho pronounced It an order
suitable to present conditions , nnd cited the
fact that Its history wa almost contempo
raneous with the history of thli country ,
where it had grown so strong during the
years of Its existence here. It was not an
order , ho said , which depended upon Its
ago for Its claims for public attention. It
was not an Insurance society , but was solely
benevolent to care for the needy In Its own
ranks. Ho suggested that a change might
be made In the handling of the benevolent ]
funds of the order which -would result to
the betterment of the organisation. Ho
thought too much of these funds were paid
out to those who me sick but a short time ,
whllo not enough Is given to those who
are unfortunately afflicted with chronic
cases. Ho would have the allotment of
funds reversed that tboso who aic hope-
'lefcsly sick might have the best core and
attention during the duH that nro left for
them in the run of life.
hpli'lt of Odilfill < > vvslilt.
y Adolph Edgren and C. A. Jncobson sang
n duet and were forced to respond with an
other , after which G. L. Loomls of Fre
mont , past grand master , addressed the
audience on the spirit of Odd Fellowship.
Ho said the principles of the order em
bodied everything which tended to make a
man a good cltlicn and Irreproachable In
every wnv. H was on the plan of an en
larged family , where there was a com
munity of Interests , and love for each other
Ho gave statistics showing the growth of
the ordej' , and the amount of Us benefac
tions yearly.
The uniformed members then gave a cred
itable exhibition drill. At Its conclusion
the floor was cleared for dancing , and the
rest of the evening was devoted to this
amusement. As an Intermission supper was
served , the largo dining room on the first
floor being used for this purpose. Thiee
long tables wore spread , being ornamented
with flowers nnd palms , while the walls
were appropriately decorated. The menu
was of the highest order.
SHOOTING WAS ACCIDENTAL
ViTiHi-t of Corom-r'n
Jiirj in CIIMC of
A. . ) . IloMiiNoii , Killed Iiy
hmltli.
Although still In jail Fred Smith has little
to worry him , as the Jury nt the coroner's
Uiquest } C8tciday afternoon decided that
Austin J. Robinson came to his death acci
dentally and was not shot by Smith with
malicious Intent. The county attorney asked
to have Smith held a little longer until he
could Investigate the case more thoroughly.
The stoiles of the shooting as related by
William Maah and Frank L Dorwart , the
witnesses , did not differ materially from the
statement made by Smith. Maah and Dor-
wart were talking about hunting when the
latter asked Smith to hand him a revolver
out of a drawer. Smith gave It to him , and
after throwing out the cartridges Dorwart
snapped It several times and ended by hand
ing It to Maah. On Its return to Dorwart
ho reloaded the weapon and turned It over
to Smith. Robinson entered while Smith
was putting the revolver away , and stepping
up on the railing at the base of the bar
culled for a drink. Smith turned around
and ordered him to get off the railing. He
pointed the revolver at Robinson as ho did
so , nnd the weapon exploded.
According to the testimony of Dr. E. R.
Porter the bullet entered the abdomen one
and one-quarter Inches above the navel ind
a quarter of an Inch to the right. It
ranged downward , lodging In the light hipbone
bono , where It was found and removed. Dr
Porter stated that Robinson told him that
lie had been shot by Smith , the best filcnd
ho had in Omaha , but that Smith was not
to blame.
R. L. Robinson , a brother of the de
ceased , testified that when ho asked his
brother for u statement at the hospital
Austln'told him , "It was all my fault " Ho
did not know to what this remark referred
As far a& ho knew no reason o.xlBted for the
shooting. Smith made a statement In his
own behalf , which was In substance the same
nst that given when ho related the circum
stances to the ofllcers

promiscuously about the neighborhood and
that the chlldien who have carried milk and

"Them is no tiuth whatever In any of

OMAHA , 'April ' 26. To the Editor of The
Dee : During the Spanish-American war a
great many false and misleading statements
were cabled from the English lie factory at
Hong Kong. Some of these reports put the
archbishop of Manllu before the public In no
enviable light. It may Interest your readers
to see a letter from that much-maligned
prelate to our General Otis. I have not
seen in the dally press of this country this
communication so worthy of a Christian
minister. It reads as follows :
"To General Otis , Governor General of
Philippine Islands : General The laborious
campaign that the American troops have
been carolng on for the past weeks , al
though so successful , will , I fear , have In
creased the number of those on the sick list
and perhaps you may be short ( if nurses , as
} our own must bo getting worn out with the
constant fatigue of nursing so many.
"Tor this icason , und still more because
as ministers of our holy religion wo have
consecrated our lives to the assistance of all
who suffer , I take the liberty of offering you
our unconditional services for your Pick or
your wounded , either In the hpspltal or on
the field of battle , or wherever you may need
them.
"Should you consider the co-operation of
our sisters as of any use to } ou , pray do not
hesitate In accepting the offer I am happy
to have the occasion of making to you. At
the shortest notice any number } ou require
will bo Immediately at } our disposal. Dog

In South OnialiU. Johns was to represent
himself as a single man and to convey , thu
Impiesslon that bo was Peter Duller , real
owner of the land.
Johns did as ho was bid by Burlinglm
and managed by his innocent , farmer-llkfc
way to Induce several real estate men to
take hold of his property. A prospective
purchaser was found and the deed was
made and sent to the bank at Sovv.ird. The

attorney of Douglas county In which the
whole process was gone through with. This

: o enlist every business man In Omaha and
several hundreds from outside points In the
