To know Brother Jacobl, . with all his manly, noble traits; was to love him. ; -To follow In his footprints as an Odd Fellow should be the ambition of all present. We have those present who have worked well and long for the good of the order some who havs attended many sessions, many who are present lor the first time. we. welcome you all - as the representatives of one grand, noble order, working together lor the alleviation of suffering , and distress and the elevation of human . The body taken for that of Mrs. Gun- I the benefit of an ' expert opinion by n ess was headless, and many people , now believe that she Is still alive, having substituted the body of an- other woman for her own as part of a plan to favor her withdrawal from ---the scene of her crimes and residence r In safety far away. At any rate, the ... Investigation begun after the fire dls y closed her . work as a professional murderess, and the farm has turned out a veritable grave yard of 'mur dered men. Excavation, though hand icapped during the past few days by heavy rains, is proceeding actively, , and the Associated Press carries full - stories day by day of the shocking discoveries. Mrs, Gunness' record, so far as now . anowa us irrespective or isier aoai- tlons, is surely one of the most re . markable In the annals of crime. A Chicago woman, her first marriage took place In. 11(3 and thirteen years ' later the husband died under suspi cious circumstances, leaving consid erable Insurance.' Here her first les son as a murderess Is believed to . have been learned. In 1100 she , bought the Laporte home, removed thither, and about a year . later was . followed by one Philip Gunness, the two professing to have been married . In Wisconsin through a matrimonial agency. In 1(04 Gunness died, under circumstances strongly suggesting murder, but no effective steps were . taken by the authorities. It was not . until very recently that any thorough Investigation of the place was under taken, and this was through the urg ing of A. K. Helgeleln, a South Da kota man . whose brother. Andrew-, had fallen a victim. The burning of the Gunness home and a pretence of death' are Increasingly believed to have been devices of Mrs. Gunness to cover her flight when she saw that , discovery had become Inevitable. This man Andrew Helgeleln had come to Laporte in responss to an advertisement by Mrs. Gunness stat- 1 .I.,. .1.1. ( J . I M . ii tuai. jiti. wiuww arnrea corre spondence with some matrimonially Inclined gentleman of means,. Suit ors must come to see her In person, and she wrote Helgeleln suggesting that he bring a considerable sum of money with him a suggestion which she also made in other cases, with obvious bearing upon her murderous si- jirjiseiein orougni ii.ovv, nan of which he advanced to Mrs. Gun ness, she no doubt getting the rest when he was killed. His body and that of Ole B. Budsberg, of Iota, Wis., who went to Laporte , with 11.(00, have been found And Identified. Among tne etner bodies is that of Jennie Olaen. an adopted daughter, , whom Mrs. Qunness professed to , have sent; to school In California and who Is now believed' to "have been killed because she knew too much. The bodies actually found thus far number nine, and several other sus picious disappearances not yet ac counted for msy bring the total up to fifteen. Yesterday's dispatches gave a graphic account of the autopsy up on, Helgeleln's mutilated body with half a handful of the murderer's hair (evidently from a man's bead) tightly Clutched in the one hand left the de ceased. Exactly how many the mur dered men are may never be known. The woman was a Norwegian and she the former from his present retire ment In Sussex. The Laporte mystery clamors for a solution and Sherlock is the boy to solve anything not Ab solutely Insoluble. Of course The Observer idoes net expect Justice from that portion of the press which Is jealous of its In creasing reputation as the patron of science and invention. And hence is not surprised-in the least at this ill- natured r outburst from The State paper of Columbia: "We notice that The Charlotte Observer is beginning to talk about the Wright brothers, the aeronauts. In A familiar. homa-llke sort of way which, we take H. Is preliminary to -the accustomed North Carolina way of appropriating ths Ohioans to the Old North State. In s frw days, we may be sure, .The Observer will have fixed definitely upon their pinnpiace." Tou understand what's the matter, don't you, reader? It Is Just this: that throughout the years In which The Observer has been reiterating Its scientific opinion that we will fly, The Statepaper has sat back and jibed and ridiculed It, saying. Behold a crank and a dreamer. But wisdom is Justi fied of her children. The dream has been realized and The Statepaper, which hates The Observer because'lt has been vindicated, Just as It hates It because Andrew Jackson was born In North Carolina, changes the sub ject from the flying machine, to the birthplace of Its Inventors! with which we are not concerned At all. It Is not our fault that The State paper doesn't know anything about science. It . would be better for it, though. If It would try to conceal Its chagrin and not make a spectacle of itself .by disagreeable references because of The Observer's vindica tion. . Our Kebekah branch is vet a weak leaning on the stronger member, the subordinate lodge; but by untiring seal we hope to gain strength.- From the following statistics we have gain ed some, and each year we grow more raoidlvl Much of this rrowth in western "North Carolina is due to the seal of our brethren, PstG',ahd Mas ter L, B.

STRENGTH OF REBEKAHS. w Ud to Januarr 1st. 1101. we had only one Rebekah Lodge west of Ra leigh Rosaline No. 22, of Charlotte, During 1(01 and the early part of 1(04. there was one organized at Juno, Buncombe county, and another at Salisbury, and thus we have grown until now we have more than half the lodges and considerably more than half the membership west of the Blue Ridge, and three-fourths or more west of GroensOoro. We liaj onl) four Rebekah Lodges in good stand ing in 1(02, ut of eight in ths Ktaie, while now we have thirty lodges tvlth 1,4(0 members. We hope to O'-i.g this neglec'ed sister of th subordi nate lodge into more prominence: she Is attractive. I? retiring In hr nature, and only needs more earnest men and women to work In her behalf. Z have a dream that ere many fleeting years shall have passed, this fair daugh ter win become strong and form, a Rebekah . lAnsembly, and will stand with heart and. hands not only ready, but able and willing to aid and abet any movement of the Grand Lodge in which she' Is needed. With a total of 000.000 Rebekahs In the United States, I am sorry we can claim no more In this jurisdiction. And when we look at what our sisters In other States are doing, we are suf fused with shame for our slowness. ' There . ar three orphan homes In the United States, which are practi cally in charge of the Rebekahs. The Rebekah Assembly of New Jersey controls the Odd Fellows Orphans' Home of that State, and It Is in a flourishing condition. The home for Odd Fellows" Wives and Widows. In Philadelphia, is also under the super vision of the Rebekahs, while the or phanage at Gllroy, Cal., was built and is maintained and managed by a board made up from members of the Re bekah Assembly. tne statement concerning Mr. Cleve land imputed to him within the pasf WHAX TUB REBEKAHS ARE DO lew cays, xne uDserver naa so lit- , jng. t - AW- -11 a I v,, WUUB;. , w,e ..,rta Durtnr (he year U09 the Rebekahs ment from him which It printed Sun- of Ohio -put in their horns the entire day that It telegraphed promptly to I machinery and equipment for a 110, iJiiiiilr, U u I j I f & A, dawn of civilisation; west, , the day of judgment - - . .

The sheriff and prosecuting attorney of the county place little faith in the have !u hare Of the poll-holders. ruse theory. Even supposing that the woman would not scruple to mur der her children, they point to the deposit by her'of $720 In a bank shortly before the catastrophe and to ther : circumstances pointing the same way because hardly necessary as psrt of the alleged plan. In fact, they have a theory of their own. Ray Lemphere, a former employe of Mrs. Gonness and a possible sccompllcs, has been. Arrested on the charge of murdering' the woman an ti- ti- dren. He has not succeeded in ac counting for his whereabouts on the night of the fire and there Is a consid erable prospect that h may be in dicted. This terrible Affair has, of . course, recalled similar cases on record be fore it And likewise served as a les. son to the idiots who Answer malH. monlal advertisements, but the . asK etung at u but they have the end. Let us consider the word that represented by the first letter in the three links: 1 (Friendship I once thought that friendship meant happiness; I have learned that - u means discipline. Seek how we may, we can never fulfil the ideal that Is In our friend's mind, we Inevitably come short of It; let us not give up friendship, though we have rournf this truo. To have true friend is to have one of the best gifts lire can bring. To be a friend Is to have a solemn and tender, edu cation of soul, from day to day. A friend gives us confidence to live In the (broadest sense and outdo our selves. A friend remembers us when we forget ourselves, he takes loving separate box on the dsy of the pro hibition election."

It takes a great soul to live in sphere of friendship, a man or a woman of steadfast and loving spirit. They must forgive mucb. forbear much and forget much. It only costs time, at faction, strength, patience And lova snd sometimes man must even lay down his life for his friend. There is no true friendship without self-abnegation and self-sacrifice. Having true friends, let us pray that neither life. nor death, misunderstandings, dis tance nor doubt may ever come be tween us. Let us be patient, kind and self-possessed In friendship and Al ways true to- tour f rtends-rr -- -Love representing the second link of this great brotherhood Is of di vine origin, coming direct from God to man.
