Astonishing.

1t is astonishing the number of
people there are uninsured, whilst
in our cities, towns aud villages are
members of fraternal beneficiary
societies anxious and willing to take
the risks. Men see friends falling
around them on every hand, leaving
bereaved ones unprovided for.
Mothers who have spent their last
shilling in educating sons to enable
them TO be help later on. Wives
who men have promised to love,
cherish and care for; children they
have begotten, caressed and attec-
tionately fondled-all, all are left to
the tender mercy of strangers by
him who should have taken care
that, for some time at least, the home
that was their home should still be
theirs; that the roof that had COW
cred them while he lived should still
be shelter to them when he had
passed away. 1t men would only
give the matter few minutes
thoughtful consideration benehci-
ary certificate would be found among
the effects of each of us.

Growth is a good thing; it is nec-
essary for the perpetuity of the Or
der. No organic body can stand still.
1t is contrary to the laws of nature.
There must be either progress or
retrogression. The one means life,
the other, death.
The perpetuity of the Order, there
fore, demands that it must not ret
rogradc, but, on the other hand,
must advance. There must be a
steady growth of membership. This
fact is generally admitted; comment
is hardly pertinent.
But there is another feature of the
matter that does demand serious
consideration. We refer to the kind
of growth.
An unhealthy growth is as detri-
mental, or more 50, than is stagna-
tion. Quality is fully as important
as is quantity, when it comes to the
question of membership.
A "boom" in membership may be
good thing; on the other hand it
may be disastrous. "Whosoever
soweth the wind will surely reap
the whirlwind." An Order which
carries insurance on the lives of its
members cannot be too careful in
the selection of its risks; for every
member is risk" just as much as
is the one who insures his life with
an insurance company.
Sometime boom will be started
all along the line, or in certain local
tiles; a boom in membership. An
effort is made to see how many new
member can be brought into the
Lodge, or into the Order, within a
specified time.
This is commendable and very ben
efcial, if care is used in selecting
new material. But, if in the desire
to roll up members, zeal gets the
better of judgment, and meddlers
are picked up through laxity in the
Lodge, and the Medical Examiner
gets careless, serious results are
sure to follow sooner of later.
There is plenty of good timber
and more constantly growing. Don't
use any that is defective. Get the
best.-A. o. y. w. Record.

~ Many young men now work
ing by the day have mothers de-
pendent upon them for support.
These same brave young fellows ex-
pect to live and continue providing
for the dear old mothers who, in
their infancy, gave her all for them.
They may die suddenly. 1t is then
that a certificate of insurance in IA
vor of the mother might be the only
means of providing for her support.
w Zach one of us is bound to
make the little circle in which he
lives better and happier. Zach one
of us is bound to see that out of that
small circle the widest good may
flow. Each one of us may have
fixed in his mind the thought that
out of single household may flow
the influences that shall stimulate
the whole commonwealth and the
whole civilized world.-Dean Stan

rhoea to be incurable should read

Mills, La, has to say on the sub
ject, viz: II have been a sufferer
from chronic diarrhoea ever since

medicines for it. At last | found a
remedy that effected cure and that
was Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy" This
medicine can always be depended

The number of minors who be-
come depositors in the postal banks
of countries having the system in
operation is very large. 1t is prin-
cipally for the purpose of encourag-
ing children to save that provision
is made for stamp deposits.
In Great Britain, for instance,
the smallest deposit which will be
received and entered in a passbook
is 1 shilling, or "a cents. However,
smaller amounts may be saved by
stamps. A child with penny may
buy a stamp and affix it to card.
When this card contains twelve
stamps it can be deposited as a
shilling, and the depositor is EMIT
led to receive a passbook. This
arrangement makes the institution
very popular among the children,
and is so convenient as to stimulate
them to make use of its advantages.
In addition, the schools are fire.
quently made use of as agencies of
the postal bank for the collection
of savings. The teachers receive
the deposits of the children and turn
them over to the postal bank au
thorities. Belgium is one of the
countries in which the activities of
the savings bank are extended to
the schoolroom. Out of 7,447 pri-
mary schools, inclusive of infant
schools and the schools of primary
instruction attached to educational
institutions of other classes, there
were 4,79S which took part in the
savings bank business. The num-
ber of children in those schools pos
sessing deposit books was 1892,
of whom $500 were boys and 67,-
1888 were girls. Including the schools
above primary grade there were, ac-
cOrding to recent report, 5,O56
schools of all kinds in which 200,-
S47 pupils had saved 3,734,402
francs. Most of the schools of Bel
GUM, therefore, it may be said,
teach thrift and economy with their
instruction in the elements of edu-
cation.
The spectacle of the postoffices of
country being used as means
for teaching the young the value of
saving and intoxicating in them
habits that will be of great use to
them in later life should make
every thoughtful person an advocate
of postal savings banks.-Chicago

London, Sept. I6-At meeting of the
directors of the Bank of England today,
Hugh Smith, the president of the board,
announced the proposition for the bank
to increase the use OF silver by holding
in reserve the full amount of silver per-
mltted under the act OF 1874 and thus en-
able the United States to resume its sill
yer coinage. He said that the govern
ment had consulted with him about it,
and that he had favored it. The Bank
OF England he said is prepared to hold
one fifth of Its reserve in silver provided
the French mnts are reopened and the
price at which the silver could be pro-
cured is satisfactory. He concluded by
saying that negotiations were pending
with the American monetary commission
to conclude negotiations with the United

AMERICANS LAW ABIDING.
VIM. J. Bryan Says That Peaceful Methods
Should be the Rule.

VIM. J. Bryan Says That Peaceful Methods
Should be the Rule.
In his address to the people at Sedalia
Mo-, yesterday. Mr.. Bryan said:
"Those who have suggested the burn,
ing of property or the destruction of life
as means of settling labor disputes do
not understand the genius of our institu-
tions. The American people are a law
abiding people. When laws are bad
they will change the laws. Lincoln was
right when he said that no one could
better be entrusted with the enforcement
of the laws than those who toll. The
toilers will respect the rights of property,
and the people as whole will insist that
the corporations shall also respect the
right to life and liberty.
THE injunction has been called into
aid in the suppression of strikes, and
since the strike is at present the only
weapon of employees, the injunction be-
comes the most useful means by which
the employers can force their own terms
on employees. Legislation and legisla-
ton alone can remedy this evil. Arb
tration secured by law, the elimination
by law of government by injunction will
secure the only just and satisfactory
remedy for the growing troubles between
labor and capital"

NAMED THE TICKET.

The Populists Finish Their Convention
Late Yesterday Afternoon.
The complete county ticket as selected
by the Populist convention yesterday
was as follows:
Sheriff.. J. Thompson.
Clerk and Recorder M. Callahan.
Treasurer-D. E. Dobbins.
Superintendent of Schools-Geo. L.
Harding.
ASSESSOR. H. Golden.
Coroner-J. G. Trezise.
Surveyor-P. Stradley.
Commissioner-A.C c. Goodhue.
The mixed plan of nomination adopted
in the convention was used throughout.
After considerable fussing and squirm-
ing under the pressure Judge Adams
was forced to disgorse the tabulated re-
suits of the primaries.
The convention proceeded with more
or less dispatch until the nomination of
assessor was reached. A number of bal.
lots resulted in no election. Mr.. Roberts
then arose and accused the convention
of hogging, saying that three out of the
first four were Boulder people. Judge
Adams warmly responded that Long
mont was represented by both Mr.. Dob
bins and Mr.. Harding. This statement
was denied by Mr.. Minor. who stated
that both were Boulder men. Mr.. Hardin
closed the debate by declaring the con-
vention was after good men, irrespective
of locality. There are present" he said,
"many enemies of the party, who are
watching US closely. We must let no
mistakes occur" After Chairman Mich
OILS had duly declared them all out of
order, the nominations proceeded till
the ticket was completed.
The resolutions adopted reaffirmed the
Omaha platform in all particulars. Gov.
eminent by injunction was severely de-
nounced, and a declaration made for
free speech, free press, and the right to
assemble. The soliciting for candidates
previous to convention was condemned
as contrary to the spirit of populism
The cottage home was retained as the
emblem.
One clause of the resolution was de
voted to thanking Judge Adams for his
efficient services as chairman in promot.
ing the new primary system. The Pri.
mary system itself was endorsed and its
perfection advocated. The resolution
concluded with instructions to the chair.
man to fill any vacancies which might
occur on the ticket.
The delegates to the district judicia
convention were appointed as follows:
Dr. D. N. Stradley, Judge Geo. S. Ad
ans, David H. Nichols, H. M. Minor
Alfred Yates, VIM. Eickeleberg, Judge

A Montana man has just been sent
to prison for year for an unusual
efense. His name is John Bleor,

Senate during the Legislative session
just closed. A bill was passed in
the last hours of the session cutting
the numbers and salaries of county
officers about ons-third. but when the
Speaker Of the House wanted to sign
the measure it was not forthcoming.
Search failed to reveal it, and tho
session closed without the bill becc M
ing law. Suspicion was directed
toward Bloor, who was arrested
charged with the theft of tho bill, and
his conviction and sentence to one
years imprisonment followed.
