THE RUMORs WE'RE FALSE.
MIR. w. II. FarNell's Partner Ex.
plains the Formers Absence.

Mr.. Frederick Stewart, the business part
ner of W. Z. Farwell, says that there is no
foundation for the rumor that Mr.. Farwell
had left the city under peculiar circum-
stances. On the contrary, Mr.. Farwell went
away on business connected with his real
estate firm and expected to be gone two or
three weeks, intending to 20 to Chicago
and to visit several points in Canada before
his return. His business affairs here are in
most satisfactory condition. So far as leav-
ing his family in Strengthened circumstances,
he left bank account of from Sc, 900 to
$1,000 and $50, 900 to $50, 900 worth of val
liable real estate unincumbered. Mr.. Stew
art says that he will pay all Mr.. Farwell's
Indebtedness upon presentation Of the bills
at his office. Ada Leonard is a
young Irish girl II or Is years old and pos
sessed of no special attractions. She de-
sired to go to Milwaukee to school, and,
having been employed for some months in
Mr.. Farwelrs family, asked the privilege
of accompanying him that far on his way to
Chicago. That is all there is of the story,
according to Mr.. Stewards statement. He
expresses the opinion that the story was
put into circulation by malicious person
who is an enemy of Mr.. FarwelPs.

The Royal Arcanum.
Amongst the secret beneficiary orders of
the United States, very few, If any, surpass
the Royal Arcanum. 1t was organized i'm
Boston, Mass. on June %, 1877, to meet
the growing demand for beneficiary order
founded on business principles and incor-
porating the Improvements which modern
experience and study had suggested The
supreme council of this order was chartered
under the general laws of Massachusetts by
a certificate of incorporation dated Nov.
5, 1877.
The objects of the order are to unite fra
ternally all white men of sound bodily
health and good moral character, who are
socially acceptable and between 81 and SIS
years of age; to relieve sick and distressed
members and to establish widows and
orphans benefit fund, from which, on the
death of a member, sum of So, 600 is paid
to his family OF those dependent on him, as
he may direct.
The success which has attended the
operations of this order is almost
unparalleled in the history of benefit
societies. At the present time il has a men,
bership OF 65.00s, the average Number of
assessments pei year since its organization
ueing nine and the average amount of an
assessment per member only $13s, one as
sessment amounting to over S120, OOO This
success and the low assessment is due solely
to the rigid medical examination to which
all applicants are subjected and the restrict
ing of the operations of the order to territory
free from epidemics, Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Caro-
lima, and a portion Of Tennessee, Kentucky
and Georgia being excluded on that ac-
