Kidney trouble often ends fatally, but by choosing the right medicine, E. H. Wolfe, of Bear Grove, Iowa, cheated death. He says: "Two years ago I had kidney trouble, which caused me great pain, suffering and anxiety, but I took Electric Bitters, which effected a complete cure. I have also found them of great bene fit In general debility and nerve trouble, and keep them constantly on hand, since, as I find they have no equal."

A dispatch from Welser to the Boise Capital News, says: Sheriff Brown of Baker county, Sheriff Lawr ence of Malheur county, and Deputy Sheriff Hannan of Baker County, Or., were In the city yesterday. The of ficers are on the trail of a band of horse thieves who have been operat ing In Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho. A few days ago they were in the vicinity of Huntington with a band of horses which they were en deavoring to dispose of, but suddenly disappeared with the stock. It Is sup posed they learned that they were being watched and pulled out The Oregon officials came to Welser as it was thought they came In this direc tion. They conferred with Deputy Sheriff Pence, but no one In this lo cality had seen them. Frightful 8uffertng Relieved. Suffering frightfully from the viru lent poisons of undigested food, C G.

Hundred and Sixty Y'ears Ago. Ob ject of tlws Organization Are Out lined, and Record of MemberMhip. The following historical sketch of the Independent Order of Odd Fel lows was read by Rev. T. R. Egerton, preceding his address on Odd Fellow ship at the. anniversary celebration in this city Wednesday night: The Independent Order of Odd Fellows had its origin In London, England, in 1745. The assemblages were mainly for social purposes, a collection being taken to aid needy members. About the year I860 the lodges in London and Liverpool were known as the London Order. In 1809 a member of a London lodge moved to Manchester, Eng land, and Introduced the order Into that city, where being favorably re ceived several lodges were speedily organized. In 1S14 the lodges In Manchester and vicinity were consolidated under the title of the Independent Order of Odd Fellow xT the Manchester Unity. A grand lodge composed of those who had filled the chair of noble grand, a regular term In a subordi nate lodge, was organized and assum ed supervision of the subordinates. The London associations and other lodges throughout the kingdom re fused to acknowledge the authority of the Manchester organization and several other unities sprang into exis tence. The Manchester unity attained greater prosperity than any of the others, and the increase of lodges In Great Britain determined the Man chester authorities to organize an an nual movable committee to take the place of the local grand lodge, the first meeting of which was held at Hanley, Staffordshire, May 19-20. 1823, and was attended by 98 depur ties representing the subordinate lodges. The early laws were crude and im perfect and the income was not suf ficient to meet the expenses. The an nual movable committee eventually established a system of rates, based on experience, which enabled the sub ordinates to meet relief requirements nnd accumulate a reserve fund. The Manchester unity, the most im portant body of Odd Fellows In Eur ope. has organized lodges in the United Kingdom of Great Britain France. Turkey, Africa, North and South America, East and West Indies and Australia. Societies or lodges of Odd Fellows were organized In New York and other cities of the United States as early as 1806. They, however, had only a brief existence. At Baltimore In 1819. . 'On April 26, 1819. Thomas Wlldey and four others, who had been mem bers of Odd Fellows' lodges In Eng land, organized a lodge In Baltimore. Mil., calling It Washington lodge No. 1. A member of a lodge at Preston. England, visited this self-Instituted lodge in the latter part of the year 1819. and on his return home procur. ed from the Duke of York lodge, of the Manchester unity, located at Preston, a document dated February 1, 1820, clothing the Baltimore organ ization with the powers of a gran! as well as of a subordinate loig nr.der the title of "No. 1 Washington Lo Ipe. the Grand Lodge of Maryland, and cf the United States." On February 22, 1821. Washing ton lodge surrendered the English charter to "a body of past guards." and "the Grand Lodge of Maryland und the United States" was organized, the members of Washington lodge re ceiving a subordinate charter from the new grand lodge. In 1823 the self-instituted lodges in New York. Philadelphia and Boston, were Induced to recognize the Mary land organization, and that body im mediately forwarded charters to the subordinates, as well as grand lodge charters for Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts. On April 15, 1824, H was thought best to separate the powers of the national from the state organization, and the plan was perfected February 22, 1825, when the first meeting of the grand lodge of the United States was held. On September 17, 1878, the name of the supreme body was changed to The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and on September 18. 1879, the pres ent title, "The Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fel lows" was adopted. Objects of I. O. O. F. The objects of Odd Fellowship are "to visit the sick, relieve the dis tressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan." It seeks to improve and elevate the character of man, Imbue him with proper conception of his capabilities for good, enlighten his mind, enlarge the sphere of his af fections, and lead him to the cultiva tion of the true fraternal relation de signed by the great Author of his be ing. The motton, "Friendship. love, and Truth," was known and used In con nection with the order In 1775. The degree of Rebekah was adopt ed In 1861. The female membership In 1893 was 108,732. In 1882 a degree for uniformed Patriarchs wns adopted, and this was revised nnd became what Is now termed "The Degree of Patriarchs Militant," a military side of the en campment branch of the order. The statistics from 1830 (previous to which they are Incomplete) to De cember 31, 1893, are as follows: Initiations, 1,947,711: members re lieved, 1,809,045: widowed families The Taylor Hardware Co. - SUCC-ESSOR TO T.

The shoe trade at Roosevelt's Bos ton store Is Increasing very rapidly. Sugar Beets In Ireland. The department of English agricul ture, in reply to an Inquiry by a Clon mel correspondent, states that Irish farmers can not profitably undertake the growing of sugar beets, and that the circumstances do not warrant the starting of the Industry In Ireland with any prospect of profit It points out that a sugar factory would require a minimum production of 40.000 tons per year. This would require 1509 acres to be devoted to the crop year ly, and because of the necessity for a four years' rotation of crops 10,000 acres in all would be necessary. Ths reply points out to ths farmers that the cost of tillage would be heavy, as very deep plowing or sub-soiling must be employed, while much mors hard labor Is required for sugar beets than for other root crops. In the depart ment's opinion a yield of 15 tons of beets per acre, at even as high a price as 34.33 a ton, would be less profita ble to the farmer than the cultivation of turnips or mangolds. S. S.
