ST. Louis. Oct. 3I-Roberu B. Jen-
nings. secretary and general manager
of the Broadway Cable company. was
held up yesterday afternoon on the
corner of Washington avenue and
Broadway and robbed. The robbery
occurred on n crowded downtown cor
ner. The thieves escaped with their
booty. Jennings was coming from the
Boatman's bank. When boarding n car
going 10 the company's Office three men
pushed him into Il corner and robbed
him. Over $1,000 in cash and two
checks. each for more than 10000,
were taken.
Good Description of One Thug.
The police report on the robbery
states that the men got away with ST.
C43 in cash and $4,000 in negotiable
paper. y man who saw the robbery
got good look at one of the robbers,
of whom he gave n description to the
police. Several years ago Jennings,
who is an elderly man, was robbed in Il
similar manner. His assailants were
captured and are now serving terms
In the penitentiary.
Police Kept the Crime Quiet.
The ROBBERY occurred at noon, but
the police attempted 10 suppress the
facts and as Il consequence the news
was not known generally until three or
four hours later in the day. The rob
berry is regarded as one of the most
daring crimes committed in the history
of local police annals. Jennings had
just withdrawn the money from the
bank, intending to take it to the rail
road compaIsys offices ON Nerth Broad
way TO pay off the hands. The robbers
evidently knew he had drawn the
money from the bank.
Thugs Gave Him the "strong Arm"
Just as Jennings was getting ON the
car two men approached and one of
them joStled up against him. giving
him what is termed in police parlance
the "strong arm This was done to at
tract his attention away from the 9th
er man, who picked his pocket while the
street railroad official turned to see
who iostled him. Jennings discovered
he had been robbed shortly after it Oc-

time made their escape. When he
learned of his loss he reported it to the

Brothers should bear in mind
that the assessments to be paid in
1899 are based upon the attained
age Of the member on January 1st,
1899. and that such attained age
is obtained hy subtracting the year
of birth 1898. For instance, a
Brother born in 1851 will have at
tanned the age of AZ on January 1st,

The Record of Thirty Years.

Thirty years ago bakers dozen
of men assembled in little, dingy
room in Meadville, Pa, and gave
birth to a new Fraternal B9nefci-
airy Order.
History does not record that any
one of these men was of more than
average ability or intelligence. No
one Of them had ever undertaken a
task like this before. Therefore it
is not surprising that their work
was crude and in some respects i'm
practical. But they had the right
principles at heart.
The Order grew. As the years
went by wiser and more expert
enced heads came in to shape its
course and broaden It's usefulness.
The history of the A. O. U. w.
has been phenominal and unparal-
lelcd in the annals of fraternal So
cieties.
From the one little insignificant
Lodge of bakers dozen members,
more than 5000 Lodges have
spru G.
At one time or another more
than half a million homes have
been under its fraternal protection.
In the thirty years of It's history
The A. O. u w. has carried its be-
uifcence into the homes of more
Than $4,000 of its deceased mem
bers
In very brief time the grand
aggregate of death claims paid will
reach the enormous sum of one
hundred million dollars.
The average cost per year in
many Jurisdictions has been less
than $40 per $1,000, or $40 per year
on $1,000.
Do you want protection for your
loved ones that is absolutely safe?
Do you want insurance at cost?
Then JOIN the A. O. U. w. Or,
if already in the Order, hold fast
to it. Don't be scared out by Il
few croakers.
Whether one plan is adhered to
or another adopted, it matters not.
In any event you are assured OF alb
solute protection. The A. o. U. W.
never defaults nor contests just
claim. We may have our differ
ences as to which is or which is not
the better plan-the more equitable
plan for raising revenue to pay
death claims. But we are all
agreed upon one point:
The A. O. U. W. has before it a
no less brilliant future than it has
a glorious past.
The member who drops out be-
cause it is costing, or may In the
future cost too much; the man who
holds back from uniting for similar
reasons, is foolish and illy-advised.
The A. O. U. w. is and will CON
tinue to be the safest and best fra
ternal beneficial Order in the world.

Classified Plan. One Lodge in
Parkersburg has just initiated a
class of twenty, and has another

can readily testify to the fact that
$4,000 hanging on the wall, ready
to be bestowed upon those depend
ent upon a man in the event of his
death, is very comfortable feeling"
The A. O. U. w. never had
brighter prospects than it has to-

its ranks spirit of progress never
before excelled. Our forward steps
are not as rapid, perhaps, as at some
other time, but the ground covered
