at the end OF every seven years, for / have
been working, some say, forty years, and
have not got 81, 900 yet, and some have been
working, man and wife together, doing all
sible, and at the end OF twenty
five or thirty years they give up
In despair, and others are looking forward,
hoping that there may be some better fortune
in the future, and say, oh IL IL Is possible
through this system that can got 81, 900,
want 1t. And want to toll you how / be-
lievo you can do it. $3.50, $50 invested in the
reserve and $500 TO purchase the protection,
will give me the protcctioni Yes S2lO By
ladies will give them $500; that will give you
your protection. Under the present circum-
stances we have everything TO encourage us
to believe that it will come within those
bounds. All you want is TO be assured OF it,
and the work is accomplished. Now then,
let mo speak of cooperation. 1t does not
mean myself, it means u.s. Our money, not
mine. Undertaking, as the insurance men
do, TO figure out q sl,0000o0 liability for a
thousand men, and each man paying in $3.50,
we are $3.50 short That is the only arth
metic they have got, that is where they have
come, that is wnere they stagser and say,
You should have nothing to do with that
kind of business.
Let each man of the order introduce four
men, one year apart, and the product of
those four men. together with his own in-
vestment, will produce all the protection the
Iron Hall guarantees. Now, then, let us. see
here were one year old there were 1,S00 of
them; when the next year closed we had in
troduced during that year into the order
$500 more The third year 1900 more were
added. Well, then, when the first men were
seven years old, the next were six, and the
next were five. They were all paying at the
same time, all according to the same condi-
tions, all the money was used to meet the
present liability just as it should occur, not
looking to see whether it was the dollar this
nj hri
all together, making it oil one purse for all,
and to every one the man who first needs it
by reason of sickness, or who first becomes
seven years old, and to these men the entire
fortune belongs, III necessary, to redeem any
pledge.
but suppose you do not get your four
men for onei We must have them; it is
ground-hog case, aud we nave got them
just multiply, If you please, 900 in seven
years, and the first year 1,S00 Have we got
four menbersl One thousand eight nun
dred, If they all paid assessment at the same
time what would they payl Seventy odd
thousand dollars. Then, when that IS ex-
hausted we just put our hand down into the
pockets of Al, 900 for more, and so on. We
will get our hand into some of your pockets
the next time, for you will believe in this
cause, and your money will be here, but if
you need anything after a membership of
sixty days, the great army is at your back;
all their money is for your use. If you meet
with total disability, help at once; il you
continue seven years on this plan, it is all
you have to do, and you will receive at that
time.
'How about your last man. YOU saym
II don't know who is going to be the last
man. l am young man yet but don't ex-
pect to live long enough, however, to see the
last man paid off IN the Iron Hall. But sup
pose we were to pay himl l can illustrate it
no better than to say would not be guilty of
the foolishness of looking for the last man.
One man dies, another takes his place. For
every death there is recorded birth. There
are as many men maturing and becoming
twenty-one years OF age this year US there
were twenty years ago. Your bankers here
are not looking for the last man. Your real
estate men here are not looking for the last
man, nobody here for the last five or six
years has been looking for the last man to
come here. Do you build your business on
that kind OF talks Some of YOU would not be
so happy if YOU thought the last purchaser
had come to Kansas City. The paper that Is
out with your name on it,, and which is re-
naming unpaid on that house and lot would
stare you in the face. If the last purchaser
had come this would be a sorry day for you."
1--WE fight the battles of the Iron Hall by
meeting its obligations, standing face to face
with its opposers and meeting them in cash,
which is knock-down argument and one
that will win every time, as you have in your
struggle. 1t costs nothing to belong to the
Iron Hall; no man or woman can on that
ground iustliably excuse themselves from
belonging. You can spend the dollar, YOU
can be foolish and throw it away you have
been doing it all your lives, some of you,
buying things that you did not need, satisfy
ing this desire or that. and then you wish
you had waited a little longer; how much
better l might have done with it by this sys-
tenn of cooperation. Every man and woman
the wealth of the order, every dollar is hy-
pothecated for the interest of the order.
"Then does it cost anything to belong to
this order! Why, let us see what it has been
doing:
'We have paid IN Kansas City in seven
years and five months 40 claims, making
total receipt by the Kansas City members of
S37, $50.
''All the contributions made by the
branches in Kansas City to the supreme
sitting is $26 57S.40, showing an overpayment
by the members of the order to the members
in Kansas City of Sll ,3ll.60.
Here are few prominent facts. We
have paid out g., S26 900 to 81 900 m embers in
of $500, 900, and the order is growing at the
rate Of two thousand month. Fourteen
matured certificates have been paid.
at is growing late, but / must say that
the Order of the Iron Hall is under great
obligations to the city of Omaha for the cor
dial reception accorded its representatives,
and l, for one, will sound the praises Of this
magnificent city, built up in the garden spot
OF the world. wherever may be. No young
man will ever seek my advice as 10 place
in which to profitably throw his energy,
without hearing the name Of the Gate City
of the country"
GThe delegates will be escorted to South
Omaha this morning at 9:35 o'clock, and in
the afternoon at O'Clock, over the Belt line
Tonight at room ITO, Millard hotel. an
Omaha branch of the order will be estab-
lished.
An Annoying Suit.
A slight annoyance, occasioned by the re-
ceipt of intelligence Of the institution of
suit against the order at Indianapolis; and
the accompanying report that a receiver had
been asked for, was done away with to
great eAtent by the letter gwen below. The
CLAIM of the plaintiff IS explained to have
been entirely unfoundeu as indeed was de-
claed by the court. Following is the letter:

account of the suit brought by Henry Beck

think it would not be improper for me TO
make short statement.
Several years past, until within few
months, i was the official reporter Of the
merchantile agency of Il. g. Dun Il Co., and
as such reporter it was my duty to thor
