Fraternal insurance Orders are the
boon of mankind. Not that they
say, ~ will make good your hnan-
cial loss" but they represent to the
family financial consideration that
is left solely for their benefit when
they are deprived of the support on
which they depend, but which has
been taken away. 1t is a boon to
mankind because it comes within
the reach of every man who is able
to do days work. 1t is possible by
a very small saving to provide for
his family that which will comforta-
bly, care for them. and is unavailable
to his creditors. This subject is
worthy the study and careful con-
sideration of all those persons who
say, ~ can not afford to carry an in
surance." 1t is a mistake of judg-
ment; it is a misconception of ones
own abilities.-Cube.

This life is very certain thing.
The idea Of life being uncertain is
an old, played-out bugaboo. Haven't
you lived all these years and never
died even oncep Well, then, of
course you never villas long as
you live.
You have wife, and possibly a
few children. They may die, but
you won't. Then the market is open
and if you are 80 unfortunate as to
be left wifeless ana 'childless you
have only to look about for marri-
ageable widow with a readymade
family on hand.
Some one will probably try to in
duce you to join Fraternal Bene-
tical order, so that in event of death
your widow and children will be
provided for and protected. Don't
you do it. Here is the A. Q. U. w.
with a membership of $4,000, every
one of whom is alive! Not one of
'em dead! What folly for these men
to go right on paying their dollars
into the Order. Time enough to buy
thing when you have got some use
for it. A man don't buy his coffin
before he is ready to move into it.
Time enough to join the A. o. U. w.
when you are ready to shuttle off.
OF course it is true that 10000
members of this Order have died and
their benehciaries have been paid
the good round sum OF $4,000 COO.
| But what's that compared with the
10000 who have continued to live
and the S74o,ooo,ooo that have not
been paidP
Therefore, we say, so long as you
have got dead-sure cinch OH lite,
and every assurance that you will
out-live those who are dependent
upon you for support, don't be so
foolish as to go and join some such
Fraternal Beneficial order as the A.
o. U. w. and pay in your good hard
earned dollars every month on dead
men.
But whenever you feel i'll your
mind any uncertainty in the matter.
that there is bare possibility that
you may die; that in such an event
$4,000 cash in hand would help your
dependent ones along life's rough
and rugged journey; why, then our
advice is, get in your application
and be quick about it.-CoLorddo

Americans are the most inventive

Grand Master Workman Crider, of

manner urges the membership to
greater exertion to build UP the Or

for wife and child, by failure of
endeavoring to personally look after
that protection, by doing some active
work each year along the line of our
growth. We cannot expend the
great amounts of money in solicita-

ance companies. Our plan contem-
plates that this work be done, by the
individual efforts Of our entire men,

safe protection within their means

confidently expects that the Order, at
his death, will perform its obliga-
tions to his family. But he does not
seem to recognize that the obligation
is not all on our side. He must do
something more than simply pay his
assessments. The same time he re-
ceived his certificate of protection
he promised on his part to labor to
extend the limits of the Order. Let
us all do something this month to in
crease our number of new members
and secure a reinstatement of the
many who have in the past fallen

The Oregon A. o. U. w. Reporter
says:
1t il a pleasure to be able to an
nounce that there will be no assess
ment for February under the new
plan, and this also under condition
of things which under the old plan
would have called for a double as
sessment each month for the five
months of this fiscal year. The death
rate 80 far this year, would if con-
tinued to the end of the year, neces-
state call for twenty-tour assess
ments, or two each month j. e., there
would have been up to this time ten
assessments of one dollar each under
the old plan that have been met by
five under the new plan. The relief
fund required by the Supreme Lodge
is also full, and there is n balance in
the treasury with all death losses
paid. This result has been obtained
with all those members under forty
paying less by from one dollar and
seventy cents in the class thirty
five to thirty-nine years, and the
class eighteen to twenty-tour years
paying four dollars less than under
the level plan. The class forty to
forty-four years only had to pay ten
cents more than they would under
the level plan, and the two classes
above forty-five pay no more than
required after a year or two had the
level plan been continued in force.
Can there be any question in the
mind of every candid member under
this favorable showing that the new
plan, by increasing the membership
with young men, and thus decreas-
ing very materially the liability to
loss, and at the same time increasing
the contributing membership, will
do what the Supreme Lodge predict
ed. and what the statistics in every
Jurisdiction where it has been adopt
ed proves, namely, place the the A.
O. U. w. on sound financial basis,
where it may defy competition
where security and economy are
taken into account.
This is practical illustration OF
the excellence of the Classified AS
sessment Plan. The time will sure
ly come, when the revival spirit
shall have pervaded the entire Juris-
diction, when the Grand Recorder of
New York State will be able to make
the announceme ent "there will be no
assessment this month" This may
not come in 1898 but it IL quite pos
sible in 1899. CT

~ The picnic season is now ap-
preaching, and we would suggest
that it might not be bad plan to
hold an A. Q. U. w. picnic this
Summer, and make of it a grand re-
union of Brethren of the Order.
Reno or Wadsworth would be the
proper place to hold the picnic, as
the members of the Order from the
eastern part of the Jurisdiction
could get to either of those points
without much trouble or expense,
and so could the members from the
western part.

ganizing Degree of Honor. In
few months there will probably be
several Degree of Honor Lodges in

and now has thriving little ID. of H.

for the Order in that locality.

had from General Shafter at Santiago.
In fact there are the best of reasons
for believing that the Presidents order
of July 18th, fixing the line of con-
duct of the commanding officer OF the
United States forces in Santiago to be
observed during the military occupation
of that province was almost Identical
with that given to, General Merritt.
This order. unprecedented in American
history, provides, among other things,
that citizens are entitled to security in
their persons and property and IN all
their private rights and relations. and
that the municipal laws. such as affect
private rights and provide for the pun
ishment of crimes, are to be continued
in force and administered by the ordi-
nary tribunals substantially as they
were before the occupation, if the
Judges and other officials accept the
supremacy of the United States II
was made the duty of the commander
of the army of occupation, whose con-
troll is supreme under the President,
ito announce and proclaim in the most
public manner that the Americans nave
come. rot to make war upon the inhabi-
tants nor upon any party or tactlon
among them, but to protect them in
their homes in their employments ana
in their personal and religious rights,
and it is stipulated under all circum-
stances that such local systems as are
continued in operation shall remain
under the supervision of the American

PRINCE BISMARCK.
Impossible to Obtain Accurate Ac.
counts of His Condition

BERLIN, July Pin the face of
conflicting statements and the secrecy
maintained at Friedrichsruhe. accurate
accounts of Prince Bismarck's condi-
ton are impossible 1t is the custom
of DR.. Schweninger to deny all alarm
ist reports, first, because his patient is
still III the habit of reading the news
papers when he is we'll enough, and
second, because he contends that
Prince Bismarck has the same right of
privacy in such matters as an ordinary
private citizen.
From the best available sources il
may be gathered that Prince Bis
marcks condition is one of diminishing
chronic disease, rather than Of sudden
collapse or change. and that he may
live FOR some time, unless sudden weak
ness of the heart sets in. The iafiam-
nation of the vein of the leg is caus-
ing increasing trouble Some reports
say that an open, painful sore in one
leg prevents him sleeping and has
caused general weakness.
DR.. Schweninger, in a published inter-
view, denies all these alarmist reports.
He complains of the great trouble,
caused to himself and the whole Bis
marcfl household by telegraphic and
other inquiries from all parts Of the
world, saying that he wants his time
for his patient, and cannot afford to
answer inquiries, expressing the opin-
ion that people ought to be more con-
siderate''

Most of the injured were removed to
the hospitals, and all are resting easily
tonight with the exception Of Bred
hoff, who is not expected to live.
There were two explosions, the first
occurring at 1:45 a. m. and doing little
damage. To prevent the possibility of
fire, a working force was called out to
remove the debris, and the men were
thus engaged under direction of Assfs-
tant Superintendent Birmingham, when
the second explosion wrecked the build
ing and caused fatal havoc, several of
the victims being torn into fragments.
a partly burned piece of fuse to
which a cap had probably been at
tached was found near the scene of the
first explosion, leading to the belief
that the disaster was not the result of
accident but was caused Intentionally,
the purpose being to destroy the works.
The time chosen for the first explo
sion was an hour when the place was
deserted by all except the night watch
man, so evidently there was no desire
to kill the employees.
The Hercules Company manufactures
the high explosives used in the making
of powder for the United States Gov
errment at the Santa Cruz mills. Opin-
ion is divided as to the motive for the
dreadful crime if crime' it was, but the
prevailing belief is that it was the spite
work of some discharged employe, anx-
ious to injure the company. The prop
erty loss however, will not exceed
81 800, the nitro glycerine house hay
ing been shut down yesterday, and not
containing over thirty pounds of ex-
plosive material
w. r. Quinan, Superintendent of the
works, said tonight that he was con-
WINGED that the explosion was due to
some one who wanted to destroy the
property The piece of fuse found, he
says, was doubtless SO placed as to eX-
the glycerine in process of manufacture
into dynamite.
The great disaster is attributed by
superintendent Quinan by material
thrown into the air by the first explo-
sion falling on the filters, which are
shallow tanks filled with salt through
which the nitric acid percolates.
A. r. Veale, Sheriff of Contra Costa
County, says that everything points to
the theory that the explosion was not
accidental. An unknown man was seen
around the works last night, and close
investigation is being made of the sus-
picious circumstances connected with
the tragedy.

IMPORTANT DECISION
Rendered by Superior Judge Rislcy
of Fresno County.

FRESNO, July 21.-Judge Risley rem
dered an important decision to-day in q
number of railroad suits which were
brought in his court.
The suits were instituted by the
Southern Pacific Company against
Isaac T. Bell and a large number Of
others who had settled on land on the
West Side, and who were issued pat
ents by the Government. The suits
came up before Judge Risley on de-
murrers interposed by the defendants,
and the court sustained the demurrers.
The sustaining of the demurrers prac-
tically is a victory for the defendants,
as the points raised by the demurrers
went squarely to the merits of the suits.
The history of the cases is quite an
interesting one. In 1866 the Govern
ment decided to the railroad company
every odd section Of land along the
route of the road, extending a distance
of twenty miles on either side of the
track The condition to the grant was
The record-union., 1898-07-28

that the railroad company should have
every other section which was not oc-
cupied at the time. As some of the
land which would fall to the railroad
company had been settled, what was
known as an indemnity grant was af-
terward made, giving the company an
additional strip of land ten miles wide,
in which it might select land to make
up for the occupied section in the pre-
vious grant Subsequently, however,
the indemnity grant was rescinded.
After the indemnity grant in this par
ticular case was withdrawn by the
Government the defendants in the pres
ent litigation settled up it, complied
with all the provisions of the law ap-
pertaining to filing upon land and pat
ents were issued to them by the United
States Government. The railroad
company now sues under the indemni-
ty grant, claiming that the cancellation
was unconstitutional.

ATTACK UPON PORTO RICO.

LONDON, July 2S.-The Madrid cor

ceived Spanish overtures for peace.
Should a circular note on this subject
he sent TO the Powers, it will conta n
the exact dates of the Spanish commun-
:cations. making it clear that the uni-
ted States deferred its answer In order
TO be able to date this after the Ameri-
cans had gained a footing in Porto
Rico.

solved ON peace many days ago. and
made known our reasons to the United
States Government / regard as null
and void and as destitute of good faith

done since, and / am ready to protest
