The eighty-fourth anniversary of Od Fellowship was held in the Methodist Episcopal church last Sun day at 2:30 p. m. The service began with a song by twenty girls of the Junior league of the M. E. church The music far the occasion was all furnished by the Junior Epworth league, and they did splendidly. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. Bloomfield of the Baptist church, and prayer was offered by Rev. Higgins of the Presbyterian church. The ad dress was delivered by Rev. U. A Foster, pastor of the M. E. church and chaplain of the Odd Fellow lodge of this city. His subject was the motto of Odd Fellowship"Friend ship, Love and Truth.'.' To say that all who failed to attend this service missed a treat is a mild statement. The address was scholarly, thought ful and eloquent in fact it was a masterful effort on the part of Brother Foster, who was at his best, and the impression made and the lesson taught by the address should have heard by the entire population of the city, and will ever be remem bered by those who had the' pleasure of listening to them. Brother Foster has had some faithful experiences in the principles of Odd Fellowship and knows how best to express them. Yesterday's Fire. _The -worst con flag-ration -that -ever visited East Grand Forks broke out yesterday morning at about 2:30 in the saw mill of the Grand Forks Lumber company, which was totally destroyed together with 300 cords of wood and 500,000 feet of sawed lumber, a portion of which was in the drying shed, and the balance to the north of the mill, where many of the heavier timbers were run from the mill and there load ed upon the cars to save the necessity rehandling. About 3:30 or 4 o'clock R. H. El wood, who runs the Monarch elevator, situated on the N. P. tracks, over half mile from the fire, discovered a small blaze about 50 feet up in the building. The N. fire hose was laid but was too short to give assistance. Chief Munsey of the Grand Forks fire de partment supplied additional hose but before the connections were made it was too late to save the dwelling of Jerry Enright, which was situated about 200 feet from the elevator, with the wind blowing the sparks directly over it. It was only by hard work that this fine residence was saved, it hav ing caught several times. The ele vator was a total loss, and and with it burned about 500 bushels of wheat and as much flax, together with the coal bins. This loss will not exceed $8,000 and it is thought to have been fully insured by the company. Manager El wood of the Monarch elevator savs that the house will probably be rebuilt in time to handle the next crop.G F. Herald.

Reception to New Mill Manage ment Is Indefinitely Postponed. ^]1B13S5|B32SI3K^S^S bav been held tomorrow afternoon has been indefinitely postponed. Mr Shevlin was in Sown this morning and stated that it would be utterly impossi ble to start the mill tomorrow, and it was thought best to postpone the" re ception until all arrangements are completed at the mill. Thos. Shevlin and Lieut. Gov. Jones were in the city today and look ed over the plant and report every thing moving along line. The mill will be running before the first of May with a full complement of men. The mill was started this morning for the purpose of testing the machin ery, but no attempt was made to work to the full capacity. CanVTouch Him. Previous to a recent prize light held at Virgina City Gov. Van Satit tele phoned the mayor not to permit it to be pulled off. The governor said he would also instruct the sheriff of thetires county to the same effect, but was as sured by the mayor that it was not necessary, and that he would see to it that it was prevented. The governor followed the mayor's advice, aud his hands now seem to be tied. The at torney general on investigating the powers of the governor in removing officials finds that although the gov ernor can remove any county official for neglect of duty,, against the mayor of a city the governor is powerless. Virginia is incorporated under the general law, and it is questionable if there is any manner in which he can be impeached. The governor could remove the sheriff of the county, but the sheriff can very well plead ignorance of the* fight that he had no information of it or instructions from the governor, and that it was the^duty of the police of Virginia and not himself to inter fere.
