Its History.

It is a pleasure to record success. In
January, 1892, eleven persons gathered
in the parlors of DR.. H A Warner in
Topeka and launched on the fraternal
sea a new craft.
Adopting plans as then untried, they
started to enlist others to join them, and
with confidence that they were to sue
coed, they gave their names and time
and efforts to gain a name and place
among the established orders.
The copyrighted reserve fund plan, of
which DR.. Warner is the author, and
which is used exclusively by this order,
attracted much attention, not only from
other orders, but from the general pub
lie, and at the date of the organization
of the society was by the majority of
the orders. looked upon as visionary,
unwise and unsafe.
The persistent advocacy of a reserve
fund by the promoters and manage
ment OF the order led the more thought
full persons to inquire into the necessity
of such fund for fraternities, and the
more the question has been studied and
discussed, the more positive has become
the impression that a reserve fund is
an absolute necessity, and today no well
informed fraternalist can be found but
Will admit it's wisdom.
The eleven members Of January, 1892,
increased slowly during the first few
years. and the sum contributed as re-
serve scarce attracted attention, being
at the end of that year but $500. At the
end of 1896, however, the membership
had increased to $1,000. and a reserve
fund of over $4,000 had been collect
ed At the close of December, 1901, the
membership has grown to be an organ
lied army of $4,000 persons, carrying
more than 900 protection, and
more than $3300OO has been paid into
its treasury by the reserve fund plan.
To the vast majority the fact of be-
longing to an order, identified with it's
membership, the pleasure of attendance
at it's sessions and a feeling of tempo
rary security in having it's certificate.

icy of the purchase from the standpoint
of the order. 1t was one of those rare
bargains that are occasionally created
by conditions and of which the quick
perception and immediate seizure
marks the successful business man; the
kind that have made millionaireS OF men
possessing these traits. There We're a
number of other bidders for the build
ing, but the requirement of ready cash
made the field limited. Opportunity
knocked at the door and the K. & L. of

thousand dollars.

ship is largely composed of business
and professional men, who very seldom
identify themselves with fraternal or
ders, and in every community in which
a council is established the leading citi-
zens will be found not only holding
membership, but active in upbuilding
the order.
The order is now established in seven
teen states; has organized nearly 1000
councils; has paid to the benefciaries
of it's deceased members $1,592, 01S74,
while its acts of benevolence, and help
fitness to individual members in the
various councils of the order can not
be stated, but has been often felt in
times of bereavement and sorrow.

three-cent fares. 1t was this speech
which started the boom that resulted IN
the nomination and election of Mr..
johnson as mayor.
1t is understood generally that the
street railroad companies now having
franchises in the city have many friends
in the council, yet not a member voted
against the three-cent fare ordinance
The ordinance provides that after ten
days legal publication the city clerk
shall advertise for bids to operate a
street car line. the fare to be charged
being three cents or under.
The victory of Mayor Johnson is note
worthy when it is understood that the
council is Republican, and the influence
back of the two companies now oper-
ating the street railway lines is power
full. Senator Hanna is the president of
the Little Consolidated. and the
Everett-Moore syndicate owns the big
Consolidated"
Il believe there will be at least one
bona fide bidder for a three-cent car
line" said Mayor Johnson IF there
are no bidders the people who are be-
hind the ordinance, myself and others,
are placed in a ridiculous attitude. We
are proved to be wrong"

CURTIS TELLS A STORY

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE statement
recently published in Topeka to the
effect that Senator Burton was one of
q quartette of senators who had called
upon the president to say that if he did
not accept their endorsements for ap-
pOintn ents they would hold up the con-
firmation of Attorney General Knox,
had no foundation in fact. 1t was pub
lished that this was why the president
had so promptly appointed General
Metcalf after Senator Burton's last call
upon him; but the fact is that he had
previously told Congressman Calder
head and Long and Mr. Mulvane that
he proposed to follow the senator's rec
concentration The president has seen
the statement which shows hirn in such
a bad light and has already spoken to
one or two members about it.
This from the Washington Times con-
Germs one of the men well known to the
''old crowd" in Kansas: The chief

ton years ago of private secretary to

Burlingame was appointed from Kan

office are in perfect shape would be only
to pay small compliment to the head
of this branch of the postoffice depart
