The order of the Iron Hail.


The Endowment Order known as
the Iron Hall, which was organized
by +. ID. Somerby, March 2S, 1881,
has succumbed TO the inexorable law
of mathematics, hastened byspecula-
tions and reckless use of the funds OF
the order, in total disregard of all
business principles. It's sanguine head
has, it is true, held out illusory
promises of reconstruction which
have been accepted by some of the
more credulous members of the asso-
citation. Its first payments fell due
in 1887, when il paid 81 900 each TO
! LOO members, the remainder Of the
$500 members secured the first year
| having lapsed. In 1888 it paid off
/ 200; in 1889, 1,300; and in 1890
about $50 members. The total liza
biities of the order for which certif-
Gates were issued up to and including
| 1898, were nearly fifty million dol
lars. Topay this enormous amount
it had, Jan. 1, nominal assets of
about two and a half millions and
the plvilege of assessing it's 65, ,204
member not more than twenty as
sessments of $3.50 each per annum.
The assets themselves, as shown by
recent Investigations, had materially
shrunken, owing to bad investments.
The few thousand members who have
secured their 81 900 each have done
so at cost TO themselves of 5000 or
$500, and the remainder has been
taken from their less fortunate breth-
ren, who, if they have little to show
for the money invested, can comfort
themselves with the assurance that
there are no immoral gains to be laid
at their door, whatever their origina
purpose might have been.
The Iron Hall has long been quot
ed as the one order which was to
prove that the impossible in finance
could certainly be accomplished; and
it's collapse will go far towards show
ing men that there is no royal road
to wealth. It's influence in preventing
mems minds has been more perni-
cious than that of all the other or
ders combined. The evidence elected
at the recent investigation is such o.
to make men stand aghast as they
read of the recklessness with which
huge sums of money were paid for
illegal purposes without let or him
drance from anybody. Such thing
as bookkeeping, or u system OF
checks and counter checks, seems to
have been unknown, and the officers
were held to no accountability for
their use of the funds of the order.
Receivers have been asked for in the
various States, and the cessation Of
fresh blood flowing into the order is
the natural and inevitable ending of
its career. 1t is to be regretted that
sincere and well-intentioned people,
many of them members of Christian
churches, will not more CAREFUL v weigh
the ethics of enterprises they are in-
vited to participate in; andit is to be
hoped that they may hereafter con-
slider their duty to deal justly by
their fellow men as paramount TO any
idea of immediate and extravagant
gains.

All paint is not paint. Up to date
nothing has been found thatwill take
the place of linseed oil lin the manufac-
ture of paint. The better the oil,
the better the paint. If, instead OF
pure linseed oil, the manufacture
used an emulsion of oil, that is a mix
ture of oil and water, he cheapens the
cost of production, and makes mix
ture that looks like paint, smells like
paint, and for that matter tastes
like paint; but when you put 1t on
your house, it don't act like paint.
But, how are you, II layman in the
paint business, going to find out be-
fore you buy that it contains water?
We give you n hint: Water don t
cost as much as oil. So look out for
every cheap paints, they may prove
very dear in the end. The Chiffon
Paints cannot be sold as low as the
water paints.

A GIFT DIVINE.


This gift is given
This gift from Heaven
Unto a few.
Through veins with human frailty filed
A glow divine is found distilled.
There music rare
Played in the air
To such a one,
And measured by it's mystic flow
His breathing and his movements go.
As through the sky
The meteOrs fly,
So darts his glance,
Or it would seem as though soft hands
Had waved before his face like fans.
BY man and beast
From great to least,
He will be loved;
A child will sit upon his knee,
And seek his face confidingly.
He cannot rest
Without the best
The world can give.
Our truest thought to him we bring;
Our sweetest song to him we sing.
And if we find,
Like all mankind,
He too can sin,
We feel, although we sigh or weep,
His part divine is but asleep.

SlPnancant Remark Attributed to q
Suspected Murderess.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 2O.-This
afternoon the Standard prints the follow
ing story which it states is worthy of more
than usual credence as it comes from Capt.
Orrick Smalley, chairman of the overseers
ofthe poor. Capt. Sniallev was enjoying
his vacation at Craigville when the Borden
murders were comm tied. and the next day
alter, while discussing the news from Fall
River he made the remark that it was im-
possible for the daughter to have carried
out such a horrible deed. There were
those on the piazza, said Capt. Smalley,
who did not agree with him. A stranger
to whom the captain was talking was the
one who related a conversation with An
drew J. Borden, which has since opened
the eyes OF those who have heard it.
This gentleman, who is George
W.. hathaway travelling agent,
said that not, long since while
he was out ON one of Mr.. Borden's farms,
the old gentleman came out very much dis
turbed. Upon being questioned he re-
marked that lie did not take much comfort
at home with Lizzie; that she would not eat
at the same table with him, and that only
that morning when he accidentally went
into the room where she was eating she got
up from the table and left the room. Hath
away also said that Mr.. Borden told him
this with tears in his eyes, and remarked
that when he lett the house Lizzie said she
hoped he would come home corpse, and
that probably ne would be before long.
Smalley said he was thunderstruck, and
not being acquainted with Hathaway he
made inquiries concerning him. The cap
tain learned that he was reliable man re-
siding in Fail River. His business is that
of travelling man, and he is prominently
connected with one OF the Fall River
churches,

gent, Ward and Wells counties all re-
port an increase of wheat acreage for
1892, as against 1891. Cass, Cavalier,
Dickey, Grand Forks, Pembina, Stark,
Stutsman and Towner counties esti-
mate the wheat acreage for 1892 below
that of 1891. The crop report.
ers for the Red River val.
ley counties have made the esti.
mate of decrease in wheat acreage less
than the reports of the county auditors.
These crop rep >rters have claimed that
the decrease would be % per cent in
acreage in Oass county, while the as
SCISSORS returns show the decrease to be
but 12t per cent. From the reports
now in it appears that the state will
have 81, GAG acres of fax, IA $50 acres of
rye, 1852 acres of corn, 1922 acres of
potatoes and SO, 173 acres of millet and

Taking the auditors reports now in,
and basing the acreage in those counties
not beard from on the acreage of 1890,
9, 684 1855 acres in North Dakota were
sown to wheat in 1892, 412, 661 acres to
oats and 157, 457 acres to barley The
same authority gave 2,616314 acres of
wheat for 1890, and 2,865.5O2 acres for
1891; oats 437, 1858 acres in 1890. and
420. 1874 acres for 1891; barley 97.234
acres in 1890, and 143, 1858 acres in 1891
On this basis North Dakots will have
about 1870, 900 acres less wheat to har.
vest this year than last.
