which will fire the blood to the fighting

The newly elected Senator is not known
to National politics, but he introduces
himself well with the statement, "T be-

Knights of Pythias.

The report of the board of control of the En-
dowment Rank of the knights OF Pythias for
the quarter ending on the 30th of last March
con aims the following interesting statement:
The quarter Just closed terminates another fiscal
year OF the Endowment Rank competing the
twentieth year of its existence
The results which the board have from time to
time placed before the membership during the
past year evidence that the interest manifested
in Pythian life insurance is constantly the in
crease.
The work accomplished during The last three
months Is especially gratifying. Since January !,
1897, l1S new sections have been established-a
gain of thirteen over the preceding quarter. The
new applicants admitted number 2749, and the
assurance added amounts to $4,159.00 while in
death claims there has been paid during this
period $276,000
The figu es representing the work complished
for the fiscal year are equally convincing that the
