Editor Advertiser: Circumstances
have compelled me at the present time
to ask you to allow me space in the
columns of your valuable paper, in or
der that the people who have been mis-
led in the "Strauch Society q. myself.
am one OF them) may see to themselves
on what ground they are standing Ok
the present time.
About a couple of months ago 1 was
told that there was a new society es-
tablished, the aim of which was to get
you piece of land and home of your
own by paying only s4.OO every month
with 40 cents extra to conduct the af-
fairs of the society.
/ at that time was looking around for
something good but when the above So
ciety was brought TO my attention,
began TO seek for its office. 1t hap
pened one day, unintentionally was
trotting upstairs of the office of she
Strauch society, and as have made UP
my mind beforehand to join in the so-
ciety. the remarks of MIR. Strauch at
that time led me to take a contract OF
w L
erwards Mr.. Strauch made a PROPOSE
ton to me to travel around the islands
as an agent of the society, but thank
God. / have not, for if [ had gone,
would have committed so many sins for
misleading my people and other ma
localities into the great hole. l at the
present time know not where the So
ciety is standing, and when a few days
ago a meeting was to be held at Waver-
ley block for the reorganization OF the
society, 1 was at Il loss why this change
has come.
There must be some reasons why Mr.
Strauch and his colleague have tried to
reorganize the society. but that has not
been shown.
The case OF Mr.. Strauch that took
place few weeks ago in the u. s. Dis
trict Court will speak for itself. u
was the first blow that shook the foun-
dation of the society and it win still
tremble until the last stone has fallen
Last Friday evening. July END, the
constitution and bylaws of the society
were passed, and it was agreed among
the members present at that meeting
that another meeting was to be held on
Monday evening, July 25th 1904. With
out saying II word MIR. Strauch and his
own on Saturday evening, about twelve
members being present, and elected the
officers OF the society.
This act on the part of Mr.. Strauch
the opportunity that the
strong oppositioners were not present,
makes it the more true and evidently
clear that his intentions are bad, I'm
gentlemanly and unbecoming. What
right have a few members of the so
called society numbering twelve or fif-
teen, if that is the correct number to
elect officers for the 300 members or
more? In my opinion the shareholders
of this society should hold meeting Of
their own al place to be decided and
there to denounce the act done by MIR.
Strauch and his few friends.
1T would have been a thousand times
better if that man has not been born"
says Christ pointing to the man Peter,
1T would have been a thousand times
better if that man Strauch has not been
born, for behold, the poor man and the
ignorant woman is now being led into
a hole where there is no bottom
My friends. consider this carefully
and l earnestly hope that all share
holders of the Strauch society will favor
me in saying, THAT the act OF Mr..
Strauch In holding a meeting on Satur-
day evening when it was agreed to
hold it on Monday evening was ungen-
coward act
am, respectfully,
