In Whitaker's almanac, 1891. pub
lished in London, we find, among other
interesting matter, a description of
Cape Colony and it's Industries. This
province of her Majesty's government
IS located at the extreme south end of
the continent Of Africa, is 600 miles
long, $50 miles wide, and contains a
population of about /, 500, coo. We
quote UeT60tjm1 the remarks on the rail
road question as follows:
The railways of the colony are
mostly the property of the govern
ment, Whi;h now has 1,6O8 miles open
for traffic. To the 315t Of December,
1889, the capital expended by the gov
eminent was &14 318 5O2, in which
amount is included the money expended
on the Kimberly line, the returns for
1889 show a profit of 85,155 Id per
cent, per annum on the capital ex
pended"
We notice on another page that the
average rate of discount at the Bank
England for the same year, 1889, was
81 per cent. Consols sold at sos, pro
ducing 50, 16s Sd interest. Hence we
infer that Iailroading is not a losing
business for the government.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. %, 1898.
To the Officers and Brethren of the
Farmers Alliance end Industrial
UnjOn:
Your attention and earnest consid
leratiOn is called to the Alliance Aid
degree, the new fraternal feature of
IOur work, authorized by the Supreme
Council at indianapolis, which has
been successfully inaUgurated during
the past year, and is nov in shape to
safely provide for the families Of de-
ceased members at as low a rate as any
of the great fraternal societies that so
Justly Command the respect and support
Of their membership.
The degree was especially instituted
to provide a fund for death and disa-
bility benefits, issuing certificates for
$500, 1000 or 50 600, to any member
of the T. A 81 U, in good standing,
between the ages of Is and 55, who can
pass the required physical examination.
Also, for assistance / n case Of acct
dental loss Of sight or limb.
It is managed by a board of nine
directors, five of whom r the Presi-
dent and Executive Committee Of the
N. f. A. & I. u, and is conducted
authoritatively by the N. +. A. 81. U.
by virtue of its charter from the United
States. The Supreme Council at Mem
phi5 made it part of the duties of the
national officers to institute this degree
and carefully supervise its workings.
The first eleven months work, as
shown at the annual meeting held
February 1915, 1898. at Washington,
D. @ indicates a healthy growth, and
gives promise of great future useful
- T-,O +I,O7I1,-I 1o0 hrIo91sO1 oVo1
sixty two memb rs have been enrolled,
carving certificates amounting to
s .613. 500. Eight (S) death claims,
amounting to $13, 600, and three disa
biLity claims, amounting to 81, 900,
have occurred. Four assessments only
have been made; average cost, $7.75
per 81, 900 per annum, older members
paying a little more and younger ones
a little less. The books and accounts
Of the degree were rigIdly examined by
4 careful committee, consisting of
Bros. Mann Page, Of Virginia, |. E
Dean, of New York, and II. B0ughman,
of Kansas, and found to bein excellent
shape, with all the vouchers, receipts
and bank books, etc, in business like
condition; that the brethren in charge
had been both energetic and economic
in their management. We therefore
commend the degree to the brethren
everywhere, aud request State and
Subordinate officers to bring it to the
attention of their members.
We advise its adoption in preference
to paying money in support of other
organizations. If we expect to succeed,
we must certainly be loyal and patri
otto enough to stand together in
own business interests.
We your executive committee, will
use all diligence to watch over and pro-
tect our interests. We recommend
that the State Alliance officers CORE
epond with the Aid managers, and
arrange for State organizers. Address
National Alliance Aid, Huron, South
Dakota.

Just full of Improvements - DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. To begin
with, they're the smallest, and the
easiest to take. They're tiny, sugar
coated anti-bilious granules, scarcely
larger than mustard seeds. Every
child IS ready for them.
Then, after they're taken, instead of
disturbing and shocking the system,
they act in mild, easy, and natural
way. There's no chance for any re-
action afterward. Their help lasts.
Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious At
tacks, Sick or Bilious Headaches, and
all arrangements of the liver, stomach
and bowels, are promptly relieved and
permanently cured.
They're put up in visls, which keep
them always fresh and reliable, unlike
the ordinary pills in wooden or past
board boxes.
And they're the cheapest pills you
can buy, for they're guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned.
