Their greatest relative strength is in Iowa
and Minnesota, but there are several hum
dred lodges in Illinois, and the order is
spreading rapidly in Kansas and Wiscon-
sin, in fact, all over the Northwest. The
organization is by oranges of seven
different degrees, with local, county,
State and national spheres of operation
The objects, us stated, are not very def
nate, being, for instance, "for mutual in
struction, to tighten labor by diffusing a
knowledge of its aims and purposes. ex-
pand the mind by tracing the beautiful
laws the Great Creator has established in
the universe" etc. The wisdom of which
lies in its application. Opposition to rail
road monopoly will evidently constitute
one of its lines of effort. Membership en-
braces both males and females, from cigl-
teen years Of age among the former and
sixteen among the latter
What the effect of this movement will
be upon the political affairs of the sections
where it exists is beginning to be discus
sed. 1t is doubtful lift accomplshes more
than to impress its leading principles upon
the dominant party, which will of course
accept what is reasonable and just in the
demands of the new organization. In this
way it can accomplish its purposes better
than by antagonistc or Independent ac-
ton, and disappoint the eager politicians
who hope to use il to eXalt themselves in
to office.

In the left hand is q scroll bearing the
word Liberty" and at the base Of the
device is the motto, "In God We trust. -"
The date of the coinage 1S73 appears

ton United States of America" and
the motto "E Pluribus Unum." The

" Trade Dollar" are also inscribed on
the reverse. The working dies will be
commenced immediately at the Phila-
dolphin mint, and the coins are expected
to be ready about the middle Of this
month.

a red wagon, and as handy as a pocket
in the heavy part of ones breaches.
On ''the other side, it reads, "Philleo
House." but it is. not intended for
guests; it is for family consumption.

A few months ago, a young Iowa boy,
with no pretentions, modest and unas-
Stunning, came into the great money
grabbing city of Chicago, and assured
the Princes of the House of Mammon
that he could do wonderful things;
In fact could read their thoughts, tell
their names, give their ages, locate
their friends (provided the parties
themselves know where they were, }
find articles secreted ever so stealthily
and do many other wonderful things;
but how he was able to do all this, he
offered no solution. himself not know
ing, still these things he could do and
did do, to the wonderment of all Chi
cago who for time forgot "cent per
cent and "stocks," and gave audience
most willingly to the wonderful prodi-
CIV who had come unheralded into their
midst. Mr.. Brown does not pretend
work by the aid Of spirits, neither does
he lay claim to any supernatural aid.
He is wide awake, and it is AL ''busi-
ness" with his eyes wide open, and
that is all he knows about it. He is a
gentleman, and is said to be unosten-
tatious, and not at all pulled up in pos
sessing faculty hitherto never vouch-
saved to mortal. Mr.. Brown will give
one exhibition before a Wood County
audience sometime in November, when
we don't know; when the curious can
have an opportunity to see prodigy
such as never before has attracted the
attention of scientists and the Swans
of the world
