The breckenridge squabbIe.

The trouble the Supreme Lodge OF
Knights Of Honor is having in its imam
cial department directly interests thou
sands Of people in every part OF the
country. The membership Of TINS oruer
is considerably over 100000, and the num-
Der interested in its benefit fund may De
estimated at more than half million.
I'd 10 a few months ago the benent de-
partmeut had been conducted in such a
manner as 10 command the highest conf
dence, and over $780, COO were paid out
last year TO the widows and orphans Of
deceased members.
The charge that Col. Robert j. Brecken-
ridge, late supreme Treasurer, is a de-
faulter created a great sensation through
out the country. Although the members
of the order were and are 10th to believe
the charge, it has no doubt caused a great
deal of uneasiness, and may cause many
to forfeit their certifca' es.
The trouble with Col. Breckenridge be-
gun last May, when the Supreme Lodge
elected new officers and decided to remove
its place OF business from Louisville TO ST
Louis. Col. Breckenridge and his friends
claimed that the order, being incorporat
ed under the laws of the State Of Ken
lucky, had no right to remove its place O
business outside Of that State, and al
Injunction was granted in October by ;
Kentucky court, ordering him not TO pa!
out any more money in benefits, or to the
new officers. The new officials at 1t
Louis are proceeding with their duties
/ and no doubt all lodges Of the order hay'
/ been posted as to the condition of affairs
/ Although the Boston Knights of Homo
| Reporter has asserted that Col. Brecken
ridge will not be able to respond if tn
/ case should be finally decided agains
/ him, his character for honesty and IN
/ tegrity has stood second to that of no mai
in his State. The case is one involving
legal questions that may be, theoretical.
at least, Of importance to Col. Brecken
ridge, and it is very unfortunate the dis
pute was not amicably adjusted, but eyel
il he should fail to respond, there is n
| reason why members of the order shOuli
/ become panic-stricken and discontinue
/ the payment of assessments. The defalca
ton, should one be proved, would onl.
/ affect the members to the amount Of abOu
81 each, or about One-twentieth Of tn
amount paid annually in assessments.
The benefit certificates Of this order ar
valuable, especially so to the older mem
bers; in fact, to those who have passed
certain age they cannot easily be replaced
with other insurance. 1t, therefore, be
comes knights If Honor to stand by thei
order, and not only sustain it by tn
prompt payment of assessments, but L
use their influence in building it up ant
strengthening it by the acquisition Of
healthy amount of young and vigorous
material. A benevolent and beneficial
order that has done, and is still doing, s.
much good as has been done by the Knight
Of Honor can hardly be destroyed or seri
ously injured by a dispute Of this kind ant
for the amount said to be involved.

How to Have Civil Service Reform

Democratic Congressman admit that they ex-
pect to see a good many changes made u the
Federal offices. bat they say they do not
lOOK for any partisan raid. They hold that
the good of the service requires numerous
changes, especially in the service outside OF
WASHINGTON. In the several departments
here the prevailing idea is that at first only
the heads of departments, bureaus and di-
visiOns-thOse whose authority and RESPONSE
bilities are of a character that will render ii
important for them to be in political sympa-
thy with the EXecutiye-will be removed.
Then it is thought that such changes will gra-
dually follow as the newly appointed chiefs
will recommend as necessary to the efficient
administration of their various offices.

Physicians recognize Iron as
the best restorative agent known
to the profession, and inquiry Of
any leading chemical firm will
without doubt substantiate the
assertion that thereare more prep
arations of iron than of any other
substance used in medicine. This
shows conclusively that Iron is
acknowledged to be the most i'm
portant factor in successful med
ical practice. 1t is, however,
remarkable fact, that prior to the
discoveryof Browns Iron Bitters
no perfectly satisfactory iron COM
bination had ever been found.
Browns Iron Bitters does not
injure theteeth, causeheadache or
produce constipation-GH other
IRON medicines do. Brown 'SIIron
Bitters cures indigestion, bilious
ness, weakness, dyspepsia, mala-
ria, chills and fevers, tired feeling,
general debility, pain in the side,
back or limbs, headache and neu-
ralgia -for all these ailments
Iron is prescribed daily.
Browns Iron Bitters, however,
does not cure in a minute. Like
all other thorough medicines, it
acts slowly. When taken by
men the first symptom Of benefit
is renewed energy. The muscles
then become frmer, the digestion
improves, the bowels are active
In women the effect is usually
more rapid and marked. The
eyes begin at once to brighten;
the skin clears up; healthy color
comes to the checks; nervous
ness disappears; functional de-
engagements become regular, and
if a nursing mother abundant
sustenance is supplied for the
child. Remember Browns Iron
Bitters is the ONLY iron medi-
cine that is not injurious.
