| 80 = AANCAAAA OnhOh va AAA~AA~~s
This order, now being organized in
Pullman, is recognized as the strongest
development of the day along frsternal
benefit lines. It's plans are modern and
the very best that can be devised. 1t
| protects itstlf as well as its members, and
thus becomes great permanent institu-
tlon. 1t has met with singular success
and its growth is attracting the attention
oil the entire fraternal world. This is not
surprising when its superior plan is fully
understood a plan which is not only en-
dorsed by the leading fraternal order men
and insurance journals throughout the
United States. An insurance.for which
it is rot necessary ito die to win" is ex-
ceedingly popular, and the fact that both
sexes are admitted on equal terms wins
thousands of friends for this great frater-
nifty. AS guarantee of the permanency
and solidity of this order it may be men
toned that it is member of both the
National Fraterntl Congress and the
American Fraternal Congress. These
two great bodies are composed OF forty
two OF the leading lodges of the United
States and no order is admitted unless
its standing is gilt-edge Much could be
SAID about the benefits of the Fraternal
Union OF America, but space forbids 60
ing INTO detail. Its most important fea-
lures are az follows: death Benefits.
In case OF death, 5000. 81, 200 or 50, 400
2-An Immediate Funeral Benefit
Fifty dollars on each $500 of the certif-
cate is paid Immediately on receiving no
tice of death, without waiting for the u.s.
ual formalities.
3-Total Disability BENEFITS:
One half of the face of the certificate is
paid IN cash, if a member becomes total
ly disabled from disease or accident.
Accident Benefits:
Accident benefits are paid to members
at the rate OF $500 per week, for each
81, 200 of the certificate.
5-In Force When Sick:
a member cannot be suspended when
sick or disabled, and is kept in good
standing for two months in any year. if
out of employment.
6-Sick Benefit Fund:
The local lodge provides a sick benefit
fund of.from $500 to $500 per week.
"A Time to Quit Paying and Cash Re
turned:
When member has reached his ex-
pectancy of lie according to the Ameri-
can tables of mortality, he receives one
half of the amount IF his certificate and
paid up policy for the remainder.
This is one OF the great features Of the
Fraternal Union and one that is fair and
business-like. There are no death asses
ments or anything OF the kind to pay, as
each member pays for his own insurance
and no one elses. The order simply has
contract with each member agreeing to
insure him or her FOR about $250.0O per
$lOOO.00 payable monthly, and allows
about 80 years to pay it in.
W. 6. Emery, Deputy Sup. Pres. OF
the order, makes his headquarters at the
HERALD office and will be pleased to give
full particulars to anyone interested.

THE BOERS. !;
They Have Plenty of Big
) Guns AMI Know How g
to Use Them.
y @
By Andrew Downs.

One Of the surprises in the South
African war has been the effectiveness
of the Boer artillery. Only short
time before the opening Of hOStilities
it was confidently asserted by sup
posed British authorities that the
Beers had practically no field artillery
to speak of and that they did got know
how to use the few guns they did have.
But since the fighting has begun 1t
appears, il spite Of strict British GEN.
sorship. that the Beers have been US
ing artillery with good effect and that
they have plenty Of good guns. AS a
matter Of fact the field guns possessed
by the Beers are probably the best in
the world They not only have good
guns and plenty of them. but they
know how to shoot cannon as we'll as
rifles.
1t is true. however, that until few
years ago the Beers had no big guns
and knew little or nothing about han
ding them. But the Jameson raid
taught President Kruger a lesson. He
heard the English talking about be-
sieging Johannesburg. and he learned
something about the effectiveness Of
modern field artillery. He determined
to equip the Transvaal forces with the
best weapons in the market.
The first step was to erect forts at
johannesburg and Pretoria. The for
mer now reposes under the brow Of
strong Notifications. There are six
forts altogether, and they command a
broad expanse of country. In these he
has placed long range rif1ed guns Of
French and German patterns and
quick firing guns. He has filed four
warehouses with arms and made Sc
cret preparations, which include long
tunnels underneath the goldfields. so

ONE OF THE BOERs' CREUsOT GUNS.
Men have been drilled to train these
guns effectively, and the town is sup
piled with provisions to withstand a
long siege.
Then Kruger turned his attention to
field artillery. He sent agents to France
and Germany. They bought the latest
and most improved quick firing field
guns. Not only did they buy the guns.
but they hired German and French Of
ficers to go to the Transvaal and teach
the young Beers how to handle these
weapons.

Jail on charge of yagrancy supposed
to know something about the shooting
of Rev. and Mrs. David B. Cheney, is

and Mrs. Armstrong and Il number or

man seen running away from the
Cheney home after the affair.
On top of this comes the report from
GAINESVILLE, Wis, stating that Il picture

Chief Of Police Johnson and that it
was recognized as the man who en-
tered the home of eX-Alderman Geo.

throwing each shell at an average Of
46 seconds interval and making nu-
merous hits. An ordinary field gun in
the same time would have fired only
one Or at the most two rounds. The
Beers weapons. therefore, fire three
six times as fast as the ordinary gun
with which most batteries Of artillery
are armed.
Among their new heavy artillery
guns the Beers have several big Creu-
sot guns. These are Of French manu-
facture also, and it is doubtful if the
British have anything better at their
command.
There are two types Of quick firing
guns used in the British army. The
first is the Vickers-M Maxim. which was
used by the troops under Lord Kitchen
er in the Sudan. The other is an
adaptation of the ordinary field gun,
which is converted to a quick frer by
a carriage designed by Lieutenant
Colonel Sir G. Clarke. This gun. it is
said, has been found of considerable
utility, but is certainly not equal to
the quick frers in the possession Of
the Beers.
Some time ago the Transvaal govern
ment purchased three of the most pow
erful guns in existence. These were
also made by the Schneider-Canet firm.
Two are of 915 inch caliber and one of
II inch. The latter weighs &c tons and
fires a shell weighing half a ton
through four feet of steel. The two
smaller guns fire a shell weighing
three hundredweight. These guns
were bought when the Transvaal gov
eminent expected to get Delagoa Bay.
They are now mounted outside of 10.
