stroke OF enterprise for the Monitor

]. 5. Dey, representing the local
lodge OF the Fraternal Aid assocla-
tion, on Sunday received a check
for $1,000, being the life insurance
payable on the death Ct Mr. Klein,
who was a meI Der of that order at
the time OF his death, about two
weeks ago. This promptness Of the
order in meeting It's losses is certainly
very commendable. We doubt wheth-
er the old line companies, with their
millions Of assets, earnings and sur.
plus, would not have required longer
time than two weeks In which to ad.
just such a loss.

Col. j. W. Forney, Of Belle Plaine,
attended the memorial exercises Of
the A.O.U.W. lodge at Mayfeld On
Saturday night and delivered one Of
his eloquent and instructive addresses.
The occasion was set apart by the
Grand Master Workman in memory
Of the deceased members Of the
order. But Mayaeld lodge, SO far as
we have heard, is the only lodge In
the county holding such services this
year. Mayfeld lodge has, Of late.
been peculiarly unfortunate, as Ia
the last eighteen months it has lost
three Of its members by death. In
each instance the insurance has been
promptly paid, thus demonstra
the stability Of the order.
Associate Justice Valentine, of the
Kansas Supreme court and T. f.
Doran, Of Topeka, Monday appeared
before the United States Supreme
court at Washington and argued a
motion to advance the Kansas mort
gage redemption case on the docket
The court announced that it will de-
eide the question Of advancement on
