Am sending you the return of two fields of wheat grown on my home farm past year. These returns are perfectly accurate, and not over-estimated. I summer-fallow about one third of my farm every year, and afterward take off two crops and summer-fallow again. The summer-fallow is ploughed twice during the summer, first shallow, afterwards deep and no weed allowed to grow. The stubble is left as long as possible when cutting the first crop, and is burned the following spring, drilled directly afterwards, and then after drilling. This gives much better result than fall-ploughing. Field No. 1. Quarter-acreation followed 1903, yield 27 bushels per acre. This wheat is netting at present time 886 per bushel.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 15 oz—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starchs are put in 18-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals, if your grocery tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "10 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. "She told me she was unmarried, and now I find that she is a divorcee." "Well, isn't a divorcee unmarried?"

Clayton, Tex., May 1st.—(Special) —That a genuine cure for Diabetes has been discovered is the opinion of Mr. J. H. Bailey of this place. Speaking of the matter, Mr. Bailey says: "I believe Dodd's Kidney Pills is the best remedy for Diabetes and the only one that has ever been discovered that will cure Diabetes. "I have a genuine case of Diabetes. I have taken seven boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and am still taking them. They have helped me so much that I am now up and able to work some. I believe that if I had conformed strictly to a Diabetes diet I would now have been completely cured." Dodd's Kidney Pills have cured hundreds of cases of Diabetes and never once failed. It is an old saying that what will cure Diabetes will cure an form of Kidney Disease and that's just exactly what Dodd's Kidney Pills do. They cure all kidney diseases from Backache to Bright's Disease. A schoolboy in Leeds, England, in one of his compositions, gave the following brief history of a British ruler who often officiated as a bridegroom: "Henry VIII was brave, corpulent and cruel; he was frequently married to a widow, had an ulcer on his leg, and great decision of character." When Your Grocer Save he does not have Defiance Starch, you may be sure he is afraid to keep it until his stock of 12 oz. packages are sold. Defiance Starch is not only better than any other Cold Water Starch but contains 16 oz. to the package and sells for same money as 12 oz. brands.

THE END OF THE GRIP REACHED AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF COMPLICATED TROUBLES Deafness, Hearing Sounds in Head, Stomach Disorder, Palpitation of Heart and Debility Overcome at Last. Mr. Newman certainly had a very tough time with the grip, and it is no wonder that he thinks that the remedy that cured him can't be bent. His case shows how profoundly grip pushes the system and how obtusely it resists all ordinary maneuvers. The only way he can be sweeter than Mr. Newman's for he had head, heart and stomach troubles combined with great weakness. He has cried and: "The attack of grip which I had eight years ago left me in a very bad fit. I became nearly deaf and my hand scribed continually and was dilled with hissing and roaring sounds. My heart fluttered and had regular running away spells. My stomach was so sore that I could hardly bear a touch on that part of my body. I had a great deal of pain in the region of my liver and the doctor and that organ was enlarged. My kidneys scribed so at times that I could hardly stand." "Didn't you give up and go to boo?!" he was asked. "No. I simply wouldn't. My head and my hook scribed dreadfully, but I obstinately dragged myself about, keeping worms and finally ran down to almost nothing." "What did you do to get relief?" "Piss I had a doctor, but he did me no good. Then I took all kinds of advertised presentations but nothing proved helpful until I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. As soon as I got them I knew that I had at last hit the right remedy for my case. The very first book more, for me than anything else I had ever taken. They gave me relief right away in three months they positively cared my pain. I thought I was seriously ever in better health in my life than I am at present." Mr. William A. Newman is a well-known Camden county farmer, living at Sagrada, Missouri. His case was a severe test for any remedy, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills met every requirement. Other remedies merely drove the poison of the grip into hiding, but Dr. Williams Pink Pills drive it out of the system. They are sold by every druggist. STORIETTES Johnny was at the opera for the first time, and the celebrated soprano was in the middle of her solo, when he said to his mother, referring to the conductor of the orchestra: "Why does that man hit at the woman with his stick?" "He is not hitting at her," replied his mother; "keep quiet." "Well, then, what is she now looking for?" England's future king Prince Edward of Wales, now eleven years old, possesses a child's habit of saying unexpected thing. When visiting King James when day, the king asked him what day, the studying, and the little prince said: "All about Perkin Warbeck." Asked who Warbeck was, the prince replied: "He pretended he was the son of the king, but he wasn't; he was the son of respectable parents." An old Scotchman, being asked how he was getting on, said that he was all right, "Gin it wasna for the rheumatism in the right leg," "Ah, John," said the inquirer, "be thankful, for there is no mistake you are getting old, like the rest of us, and old age doesn't come alone." "Auld age, sir," returned John, "I wonder to hear ye. Auld age has nothing the dae wint. Here's my ither leg jist as aud; an' it's sound and noople yet." In a London theatre the names given to the various seats are a little puzzling to an American. During a recent trip abroad, Richard Mansfield sent his coachmate to a theatre.

"No sir," said the coachman, "the stalls were all gone, sir; but they told me they could give me a well, that they could put you in a loose box, sir." The proposal to shoot automobiles who drive their cars to the danger of the public, made by a British magistrate some time ago, was revived at a late meeting of the Warwickshire Chamber of Agriculture, when the following letter was read: "I hold a discharge as sergeant from the army, and am a trained shot. At least fifty automobiles pass my house every day. With an ordinary magazine rifle of 40mm, I carry daily, and for ray trained services I am number at the charge of sixpence per head. I should like to hear to whom to forward the heads. I could use explosive or poisoned bullets, if so desired." This letter, from Fairbanks, Alaska, addressed to a San Francisco shipping firm, unfolds a whole volume of trial and triumph: "Dear Sir: I am at the head of a party of Alaska miners and are planning a trip around the World. we have Ein in this country 9 year and Just made our fortun the Last 2 year. So now We are going to go life. We Don't know if to go to New York ore to San francisco.

P. S.—Would It Be Cheaper to Buy a Boat if We can get 14 men in Our Party?" One of the greatest compliments Senator Spooner ever received contrasted him in his breezest style with Thomas Jefferson at his best, to the latter's disparagement. When a young man, Spooner was engaged to deliver the Fourth of July address in small town. Another young aspirant for fame, named Clinton, the Poetification of Independence, which was followed and interpreted by Spooner's eagle-screaming speech. On his way home Spooner met a cuntman, one of his audience, who complimented him after this pattern: "That was a magnificent speech of yours, Mr. Spooner, I think the very best I ever heard; anyhow, it knocked Clinton's all hollow." The less polish a man has the more reflections he is apt to cast. Philadelphia is a dend town, and so is indulging in an epidemic of suicides. "Do not hug delusions," says Ellie Wheeler Wilcox.

MUST SERVE TIME Supreme Court Affirms Decision Against Cedar County Kidnapper. Des Moines, May 3.—August Leuthe the eighteen year old Cedar county boy who abducted Henry Felscrow and his aged wife, and held the woman for ransom of $50,000, must serve eight years in the penitentiary. The supreme court affirmed the sentence of the lower court yesterday morning. August 16, 1563. Leuthe went to the Felscrow farm house in Cedar county and said their son was seriously ill and wanted his father and mother. The old people got into his wagon, and a few miles from home, Leuthe demanded $50,000 in cash. The people didn't have it and at the polls heolver he forced the old man to go back and he would kill the woman unless the money was produced. Mrs. Felscrow was held a prisoner for several days at Weiss Corners, and then escaped in a half crazed condition. She never fully recovered and Leuthe must now go to the penitentiary. VICTIM BY CYCLONE. Aged Woman of Ocheyedan Receives Probably Fatal Injuries. Ocheyedan.

CHARLES THOMAS SENTENCED Judge M Vey Overrules Motion For a New Trial Des Moines, May 1.—Charles Thomas began serving his sentence in the penitentiary at Fort Madison yesterday. Judge McVeay on Saturday overruled the motion of the defense for a new trial and concoided by sentencing Thomas to the penitentiary at Fort Madison for life. As it became evident to Thomas and his attorneys that the motion would not be sustained they smiled quietly, but made no other expression. The wife of the defendant was the more deeply affected by the reading of the opinion. She sat with bowed head through the entire time and bowed her head as clearly as can be seen in the decision came upon her. Thomas himself was not affected. He watched the court closely and listened intently to every word of the long opinion which removed one of his chances for liberty. Judge McVeay then sentenced Thomas to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. The attorneys announced that the case will be appealed. RICHARDS IS BEHIND BARS Fort Madison, May 4—W. A. Richards has arrived in the city from Farmington, Ill., where he has five brothers and a sister. He spent yesterday visiting with a few acquaintances, awapling Sheriff Kimmer of Warren county, who arrived at 7:00 o'clock last evening with the midnight. In company with the sheriff, Richards immediately went to the pent-tentency. When seen by a representative Richards was not visibly affected by the serious prospects before him. He said that he had made up his mind long ago to go and face the ordeal like a man, regardless of what he termed the "dirty deal" he experienced. His conversation indicated confidence of an early tarpole. SAYS HE IS NOT GUILTY Former Railroad Commissioner Daniel Wrecking Iowa Bank. Primshar, May 4—At 11 o'clock yesterday morning Ed. C. Brown, former railroad commissioner of Iowa and president of the failed Sheldon State bank, was arraigned here upon indictments charging him with fraudulent banking. Mr. Brown pleaded not guilty. Immediately thereafter Attorney J. M. Parsons of Rock Rapids, one of the attorneys for Mr. Brown, filed a motion for continuance of the case to the October term. The motion is based largely upon the claim that the defense is unable to secure at this time witnesses whose testimony is important. A number of names are given, it being stated that some of those who should testify are in Chicago, Minnesota and Montana. It is further declared that the attorneys are in which to prepare their case for trial. Brown makes affidavit that he has not had an opportunity of talking about the case with his attorneys until yesterday. The case has been continued once or twice here before, one time upon motion of the state. Judge Hutchinson granted a continuance until the October term. AGENTS IN TROUBLE. Fire Insurance Men of Clinton Placed Under Arrest Clinton, May 5.—Armed with a warrant sworn out by County Attorney E. L. Miller, the Clinton police yesterday afternoon arrested sixteen special Iowa fire insurance agents, representing practically all the large companies, under the section of the Iowa code prohibiting the formation of illegal combinations to regulate the prices of commodities. The authorities state that the agents met in Clinton to force the local agents of the companies into a pool to prevent underbidding and to "boost" rates. The agents gave bonds of $500 each.

Red Oak, May 3.—Thomas Dennison, after exhausting every possible means of delaying his trial, appeared in court yesterday morning and expressed his willingness to have the case called at as early a date as possible. By agreement between the attorneys the trial was set for May 23, each party reserving the right to use the application for a continuance. The case passed a desire to have time to clear other business of the term before commencing the Dennison case, which is expected to be long and hard fought. The state will put the defendant on trial first on the charge of receiving stolen property. The trial upon the indictment charging, robbery will follow. County Attorney Greenlee and Elmer E. Thomas appeared for the prosecution and J. M. Junkin of Red Oak for Dennison. MYSTERY AT FARMINGTON Young Girl Found Almost Dead by Roadside. Farmington, May 4.—Carolyn Bradham, a well-known young lady, was found by the side of the road, just outside of the city limits, unconscious and nearly dead, by Walter McDaniels, a farmer, who was driving home. Dr. Noffels went for assistance. Dr. Noffels and Constable Freel went with him to where the body lay. She was in the weeds and groaning dismally. The physician pronounced her condition critical. She was carried away and it was discovered that she had been given beer doped with chloral. The girl did not recover consciousness until twenty-four hours later, when she received sufficiently to give the name of man who is responsible for her condition.

Drop them a postal card at Des Moines and they will respond with a useful pocket memorandum book. It's easier to make promises during courtship than it is to make good after marriage. To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things she is learning, the who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 100 package contains 10 ozs, while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use other. Quality and quantity must win. A good Indian is a dead Indian; politically, as well as otherwise. Protesting Against Rate Reduction, Atlanta, Ga.—The recent proposition of J. Pape Brown, Chairman of the Georgia Railroad commission, to reduce the passenger rate in Georgia from three to two cents per mile was protested against by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Order of Railway Conductors, and unions of the blacksmiths, machinists and telegraphers, bottlersmiths, railway trainmen, carpenters and joiners, clerks and car men. These organizations employed an attorney especially to represent them, who urged that such a reduction would work against the prosperity of the state and lead to a reduction in the number of railroad employees, as well as of their wages. The Travelers' Protective Association also protested that a reduction, as proposed, would result in fewer trains and poorer service. A Missouri paper thinks merchants should be more prompt in presenting their accounts. A skruggist of that place recently brought a young man in the town a bill two years old, and the first part of the bill was a charge for a box of chocolates, and on the other end a charge for one nursing bottle. How time does fly. This letter, from Fairbanks, Alaska, addressed to a San Francisco shipping firm, unfolds a whole volume of trial and triumph: "Dear Shr: I am at the head of a party of Alaska miners and are planning a trip around the World, we have Ein in this country 9 year and Just made our fortune the Last 2 year.

Next to the actual bacteria of disease, the mosquitoes and flies are the most dangerous enemies of man. The mosquito with its bite injures living mataris, yellow fever, and other fatal viruses. With spongy feet, collects the invisible germs of diseases, spreads them over our food and poisons us with typhoid, cholera and other plagues of the human race. GOOD RED BLOOD OUR AMUNITION. The blood which flows through our veins and arteries should contain haemoglobin, blood corpuscles which are capable of warding off the attack of the disease germs if they get into the system. Dr. Pierce, the eminent physician of Buffalo, N. Y., says, "if each person will consider his system as an army of men which he controls as a general, and will see to its proper provisioning and that it has plenty of ammunition in the shape of good red blood, he will be able to overcome the enemy in the shape of the germs of disease." Every healthy person has five million red blood cells or more to every square millimeter of blood. The number of red blood corpuscles in the average being is so great that it is almost comprehensible. However, their num In a Pinch, Use ALLEN'S FOOT-FAIR A powder.

A cod liver oil makes the stomach mucin because it is irritating, extract made of an inactive extract made of roots and herbs, without the use of alcohol, that will assist the stomach in simulating or taking up from the food such elements as are required for the blood, also an alternative that assists the activity of the liver and the stomach in the blood.

If the slightest catarral condition of lungs or stomach is allowed to remain, neither digestion nor sleep will be strength-sustaining. Those who lead very active lives, like athletes, with good muscular development, find the spring months especially trying. Athletes everywhere praise Peruna because they, of all men, appreciate the value of a tonic that dispels physical depression. The vocation of some men may allow them to endure the depressing feelings incident to spring weather, but the athlete must never allow himself to get "under the weather." He must keep in the "pink of condition" all the time. In order to do this he must avail himself of a spring tonic upon which he can rely. Therefore athletes are especially friendly toward Peruna.

TROOPS ARE UNCONTROLLABLE Violate All Orders to Act With Moderation — Procession of Several Thousand Laborers is Fired Upon By Troops of the Czar. Warsaw, May 2—Nearly one hundred persons were killed or wounded in disturbances in various parts of Warsaw yesterday. The troops apparently were uncontrollable and violated all orders to act with moderation. They fired into crowds of demonstrators and workmen in retaliation resorted to the use of firearms and bombs. Many women and children are among the dead and dying. What approaches a reign of terror exists, the city presents a most gloomy aspect and the temper of the entire community augers ill. May day opened with every prospect that the recent gloomy forebodings would find contradiction in a peaceful ending. Glorious weather ushered in the beginning of the celebrations and all factors, shops and offices of every description were closed. The presence of numerous petrols of Cossacks cavalry and infantry were only reminders of lurking danger. The first disturbance occurred between 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and a procession of several thousand workmen carrying red flags marched along Zalazna street. The demonstration was quite orderly and proceeded without molestation for some distance. Suddenly several squadrons of Uhlans appeared, but without interfering with the procession took up a position along the sidewalks, while the workmen passed through the lines. Then a company of infantry approached from the front and immediately the cavalry charged into the procession, driving it with the flat of their swords into a disorganized mass. When the ally withdrew the infantry fired the demonstrators escaped the demonstrators turned and fled. The infantry continued to discharge volleys into the retreating, shrieking multitudes. Thirty-one persons were killed and many wounded, and of the latter it is believed that fifteen will die. The shooting is described as having been quite unprovoked. It has aroused the most intense indignation among all classes in Warsaw. Many of those who were killed or wounded were shot in the back, showing that they were running away when they were struck. Another terrible scene was enacted at 5 p. m. at the corner of Zleta and Krasnaya streets when wounded fire from behind a wall at control which immediately opened fire on the passing crowds, killing or wounding twenty persons. The first bomb throwing occurred at 9:35 o'clock last night when a bomb was thrown into a Cossack patrol near the Vienna station. Three Cossacks and one policeman were killed and two women, who were leaving the station at the time were severely wounded by the bomb, the Cossacks and infantry fired number of volleys and it is reported that many persons were killed or wounded. Troops surrounded the whole neighborhood. It has been impossible up to the present time to secure accurate information us to the casualties in this affair. At 10:30 o'clock disturbances broke out at the Zombikowska gate of the suburb of Praga, across Vistula river. A German had assumed that, threatening the crowd, when hussars fired upon the crowd and killed four and wounded many others. Warsaw, May 3.—The industrial population is deeply exasperated over the sanguinary results of Monday's encounters. The strikes inaugurated on a large scale here, at Lodz and in other cities are rapidly spreading and 75,000 persons are on strike in Lodz. Cossacks are patrolling the streets of Warsaw by companies on account of the danger to smaller detachments. A great crowd which gathered yesterday in front of the police station to which the corpses of those killed on Monday had been taken demanded the bodies of their dead, but was dispersed by Cossacks. According to an official statement, the dead, not including those of the wounded who died in hospitals, number thirty-one. The majority of the dead were working people. NO MORE "TIPS" IN WISCONSIN Governor Signs Bill to Put End to Gratuities to Employees. Milwaukee, May 3.—No tips can be given in Wisconsin. The anti-graft bill recently passed by the legislature has been signed by Governor La-Follette and no gratitudes of any kind can be given to employees of any firm by outsiders without danger of arrest and fife. While the bill was aimed originally at the practice of paying commissions to employees of large stores or corporations whose influence went a great way in the purchase of goods, it is held that it applies as well to tip giving, and anyone facing a waiver is just as liable as a person giving an employee a present to have him recommend the goods of the gift. Merchandise is asking for copies of the bill to see just what they are up against. Among minor employees there is consternation lest they be deprived of the tips which in many cases make a large part of their emoluments in lieu of salary. Now York, May 4.—Justice Bischoff has signed an order directing President I. W. Alexander, Vice President J. H. Hyde and Vice President George E.

IS FOLLOWING ROJESTVENSKY Estimated it Will Require Ten Days to Join Forces — Nebogatoff's Squadron is Said to Have Been Scattered by Typhoon Off Chinese Coast. Singapore, May 5.—The British steamer Selangor, which arrived here yesterday reports having passed a division of the Russian warships off Jagrul, midway between the island of Penang and Singapore, at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The Russian naval sighted off Jagrul consisted of four battleships, two cruisers, four collers and a hospital ship. Singapore, Stratale Settlement, May 5.—The Russian naval division passed Singapore in semi-darkness and haze at 5:30 o'clock* this morning. Six warships and four collier were sighted. Amoy, China, May 5.—A typhoon which swept over the coast of South China this week is said to have damaged the Russian Pacific squadron considerably. The lighter vessels are reported to have been scattered. Shipping men expect further delay in the execution of Admiral Rosvestensky's plan, as a result of the damage sustained by the squadron. ENJOY A BRITISH PORT. Nebagatoff Enjoyed Comforts of Erit iHep_Port a week London, May 4.—The identification of the warships sighted by the steamer Selangor in the straits of Malacca this morning as Rear Admiral Nebogatoff division of Admiral Roestenvsky's squadron is considered liable to develop an interesting situation. Jugrah, off which the division was seen, is a town of the state Selangor, which is a British protectorate and is not far distant from the point where a Russian division was sighted as long ago as April 27. It is not yet known whether the Russian warships are within territorial waters or whether they are obtaining supplies from the neighboring land. A brief telegram on the subject from Singapore, however, is taken to India in a week the Russians have been practically enjoying the hospitality of the waters of Japan's ally in the same manner that Admiral Roestenvsky's ships have utilized French water in Cookin-China. A cable dispatch received in London this afternoon says that two of Nebogato's transports have put out Sabong on the north coast of the island of Sumatra with their bows stove in, evidently having been in colonies. Their names are given to the Molemen and the Hormine Hessenmuller. FOR FREEDOM OF RELIGIOUS VIEWS St. Petersburg, May 1.—Real religious freedom conferred upon his subjects by Emperor Nicholas as an Easter gift is an historic event of the highest significance, in comparison with which the remission of millions of dollars of taxes to the peasant, a long list of decorations and six pages of promotions of bureaucratic officials are hardly worth comment. CALEB POWERS EDITION Asks to Have a New Trial in Federal Court. Georgetown, Ky., May 4.—With two life sentences reversed, and after having been under shadow of the death penalty for more than a year before that verdict also was reversed. Caleb Powers, accused of conspiracy before the act to murder elderly woman Yates, made a plea to the Scott county circuit court to have his case transferred to the United States district court for the eastern district of Kentucky. The petition marked another sudden change of far-reaching importance in the most dramatic trial in the history of American jurisprudence. Coincident with the filing of the petition was the appearance of former Governors Richard Yates of Illinois and Frank S. Elack of New York as counsel for Powers. Powers based his petition for a transfer of his case to the federal court on the claim that he had been denied, and is being denied, equal protection of the laws as guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States and that by the workings of the state courts of Kentucky in his case that portion of the fourteenth amendment prohibiting any state from depriving any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law has been violated. In support of this claim two main points are cited: the courts refused to recognize a pardon issued in legal form by the then legally constituted governor of Kentucky. Second—That in all three of his trials before the Scott court court the juries have been solidly packed with Goebel democrats, the political opponents of the defendant, and that under the Kentucky code this selection of democratic juries is permissible. Not Satisfied About French Neutrality Paris, May 4.—Japanese officials are questioning the French officials closely regarding the presence of the Russian fleet in the waters of Indo-China. The Japanese do not seem to be satisfied that Rojevtensky has left French waters, despite repeated assurances to that effect, and their response to the presence of the milkado to submit further representations or lay grounds for subsequent action.

Robinson, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria certainly has merit. Is not its age, its continued use by mothers through all these years, and the many attempts to initiate it, sufficient recommendation? What can a physician add? Leave it to the mothers. Dr. Albert J.

Gentlemen:— We announce that on the 14th day of May, 1895, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows sixty-second anniversary thanksgiving service program will be rendered at the Maple street Baptist church, East Winth and maple streets, at 2 o'clock p.m. Rev Samuel Bates of Glarinda, Cowa, will preach the annual sermon. It is indeed pleasing to extend an invitation to all other secret organizations of the city to participate and help make a joyful noise unto God. Giving fourth the honor of his name and make his praise glorious. This we should do, because when the colored man was despised and rejected by all other organizations the G. U. of O. F., leads. England guard his cries, saw his needs and opened their arms to receive him, giving the American Negro the right to open (ledge thus correctly promulgating the principle of friendship, love and truth. Those men not only read the Declaration of Independence, but saw the broad principles in it; that all men are created equal, made in the image and likeness of God. You will thus observe that God in his infinite mercy and goodness did not intend for the Negro to be deprived of this necessary means of bettering his condition in life, elevating the character of each other and teaching the principles of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Peter Ogden was the Moses destined to bring this Grand United Order of Odd Fellows to the helpless Negroes of America, to bless and to cheer them in life, making better husbands, kinder fathers and respectable citizens. This order, since its introduction among the colored people, has flushed and blossomed as a rose. It teaches them to endure, demonstrating to all mankind that by so society, industry, frugality and an answering purpose they can compete with the more favored races of the world. This order has prospered in every way and today stands at the topmost round of the ladder among secret organizations in this country. It pays out to its sick and distressed, its widows and orphans, more than a quarter of a million dollars annually. As Negroes we should never forget, no matter what people may allege, that no society or organization, with the exception of the church of God, has done more for the advancement of the colored man intellectually, socially and morally, and more has done as much for his pecuniary aid in the hour of distress, sickness or want as the Grand United Order of Old Fellows. "A friend in need is a friend indeed," and this order, which is recognized all over this great world as the greatest patriotic lodge in existence, seems to understand this phase thoroughly. It is evident that success lies only in an honorable and upright course, and our manhood and womanhood can best be assisted by intelligence, progressiveness and respectability. Then we can feel assured of increased benefits in the future. Our steps have been forward, not backward. Fraternity and union are deeply imbedded in the hearts of the American people. The sincerity of a man reaches to his sentences. Every every words that he utter colors the atmosphere about him; therefore let every man speak whel and well, for we are persuaded that a thread runs through all things and all words are strung on it. Cultivate calmness of speech, and haren unto the words of righteousness, for they shall be unto the as a stamp that lighted thy soul. Love transfigured, truth transforms, and charity glorifies. It is indeed encouraging to know that this Grand United Lodge of Old Fellows has not lost any of its virility, nor have the self-governing principles been weakened. It is not stupid but permanent, and it is a magnet in space. It moves and attracts, and we as a people should do likewise. We should advance as time advances, and be so welded together, as systematized that we should be able to attract others, but in order to be able to attract we must keep love, truth and brotherhood as a printed sign for our observance. Since the Grand United Order of Old Fellows has been in existence from time immemorial, we should hold up the banner of its principles, which are friendship, love and truth. 2.
