A 5PI.KNDIU INSTITUTION.
The National rratcriml Insurance Assocla-
tlou ot Council Hind's ,
Two years ago the National Fraternal
Life Insurance association wnsorganized
in this city. The plan upon which it
was based was simple and practical that
it carried with it the assurance of relia
bility and safety , and as a natural con
sequence the association has grown rap
idly from the start Another important
step was taken a few days ago that will
further strengthen mid popularize it.
At the annual mooting of the directors
dome of the active working members of
the United Slates Masonic Benevolent
association were elected oillcers and the
liendquartoi-H removed to the Masonic
temple. The oillcers elected were :
President , Judge J. R. Reed ; first vice
president , Fred II Brown ot Chicago ;
treasurer , J. C. Mitchell ; secretary , VV.
J. .Tatnosoo ; medL'ul director , Dr. T. B.
Lacoy.
These men are too jvoll known to re
quire introduction , and the estimation
in which they are hold by the public
outside of their homos is well indicated
by a statement of State Auditor J. A.
Lyons , when apealcing of the officers of
the Masonic Benevolent association :
The men in charge of tbo affairs of this in
stitution are tnoso In whom everybody can
place Implicit confidence. With Judge J. K.
Heed as president , Vf. J. J. Jameson secre
tary , Fred II. Brown and W. O.Vlrt supor-
iutendentof agencies , and Thomas B. Lac-ey ,
M. IX , medical director , it is ofllcorod by a
class of men who in a business capacity and
for honor and integrity stand high In tbo es
timation of all throughout tbo entire coun
try.
try.Tho knowledge thiit these active and
responsible men are at the head and a
careful digcot of the plans of tlio asso
ciation will bo BUlllciunt to convince any
person that it cannot bo less than abso
lutely safe , and the moans of affording
protection to our families at loss cost
than any otho" similar institution in the
world , and certainly at the least possible
cost consistent with strict business man
agement. The guaranty reserve fund is
a fund to which every member con
tributes and which permanently remains
to grow and earn for the persistent mem
bers. By the collection of $10 for each
81,000 cortUlimto from tlio member at
the time of joining the association pro
vides a constantly and permanently in
creasing reserve fund. The investment
of this fund provides an income which in
ton years will bo tmlllciorit to pay nearly
nil the assessments that may occur.
This guaranty is paid in cash at the
time of joining or in quarterly pay
ments.
The character of this guaranty is
clearly sot forth in a circular issued by
the association. "In many associations , ' "
Bays the circular , "ovory death and
every lapse loaves them feebler , and
weakens the bonds which hold the mem
bership together. In this association
every lapse leaves the association more
powerful and increases the adhesion of
membership on account of leaving the
guaranty fund for the protection of per
sistent members. Neither does n mod
erate death rate , such as may bo ex
pected in carefully selected risks ,
weaken the association , because the in
sured receives the amount duo him on
his certificates , and the association gets
the bonoIU of Ills contribution to the
guaranty fund , Consequently wo repeat
that every member joining this associa
tion makes it so much the moro perma
nent , no matter whether ho remains or
not. If ho dies , his guaranty goes to
strengthen the fund for these who re
main. If ho lapses , his guaranty is for
feited to the fund. If ho lives and re
mains in tlio association , Ills share of
the guaranty fund is there also.
"Tills fund itself is compounded for
the first ton years , after which the an
nual income thereof is used to pay an-
segments on certificates ovoi * ten yonrs
of ago.
"Hero , then , is a strong Inducement
for members to remain in the associa
tion. Deaths and lapses inako moro
certain the relief provided by the guar
anty fund for persistent members. Wo
are prepared , therefore , to claim that
the cost of insurance to the persistent
mombora will never bo moro than the
average cost in vigorous assessment
companies , and the association will bo
moro permanent. If the number of
lapses Is as great as In ether companies
{ hn certificates of persistent members
that liavo boon in force ton years will
bo almost , if not qulto , Folf-WStulnlriL' . "
The association Insure Masons , Odd
Follows , Knights of Pythias , Improved
Order of Red Mon and tholr female rel
atives by consanguinity and aninity who
hnve not reached their sixtieth year.
ItimiH Nrcil IniprnUntr ,
W. J. Davenport of the HurliiiKton has re
turned from OlenwooJ , where ho attended
the meeting of the Farmers Institute of
Mills county. A number of subjects of In
terest to farmers were discussed , but the ono
that apuarcntly had the most Intcicst for all
vha worn nrosont WOR that of the Improve
ment of country roads ,
'This subject , " says Mr. Davenport , "Is
ono that might bo tnhen up with a great deal
of profit by the farmers of our county , or by
the merchants either , for that matter. For
weeks past the formers have boon unable to
get from ono part ot the county to tno other
OB account of tno almost impassable condi
tion of the roads. As n consequence farm
products have been very scarce and very
high. After awhile the roads will dry up
and then everybody will hurry to the elty
to get rid of his products , and every
thing will bo cheap. If the fanners were
to contribute the amount they lese eaoh
year In this way to a fund to bo used la Im
proving the roads , they would soon have
them In good shape and bo able to sell tholr
stuff almost tbo year round at a good profit.
The plan I would suggest Is that the county
engineer no empowered to look after the
roads and that n fund bo started by the
county to defray the necessary expenses ot
the work. The present plan of allowing the
citizens to do all the work that Is done on the
roads during the year in payment of their
individual taxes has been found wanting ,
and the county that taltos up the matter first
and brines It to a successful hsuo will bo in
the lead at the end. "
It Ilents Hard C'oul.
A great deal of interest , hap been
awakoncd during the last few weeks in
a now oil burner and its utilization of
oil for fuel that biJs fair to re volution tee
the heating of residences and bring a
long prayed for relief from the unpleas
ant task of shoveling coal and the attend
ant grime and ashes. Mr. J. C. Bixby
has been making a practical test of the
Globe oil burner in his residence as the
conclusion of n careful investigation that
began several months ago in a personal
inquiry among the owners and occu
pants of homes , factories and buildliigo
with largo heating plants in Chicairo ,
where there are several hundred.
\Vhorover the oil had been tried it had
supplanted coal permanently , and ovcry
interested person was enthusiastic in
praise of the now dovico. Mr. Bixby is
particular as to results , and while being
practical , and while agreeing last
fall to become the representative of
the company for this burner in
western Iowa ana Nebraska ho
dotcrmined to make a thorough test of
its merits in this climate. His residence
ifa heated with hot water , and above tlio
basement there are 11 largo rooms , each
containing n radiator. The ! late extreme
cold has afforded a good opportunity to
subject the burner to a crucial test , with
extraordinary results. Yesterday when
a reporter for TUB BKK visited Mr.
Bixby's residence the thermometers
showed an oven temperature of 80 de
grees all over the house. In the boiler
furnace in the basement ono burner
'
without making any fuss about it , was'
maintaining this Florida , weather despite -
spite the sharp north wind and low tem
perature outside , while its twin follow
was standing idly by.
The device is simplicity itself. The
burner is a cast iron globe slightly ilat-
ened , six inches in diameter. The oil
is contained in a five-barrel tank located
a distance from the house outside and is
piped under ground and into the furnace
through quarter inch pipes. There is
no danger and no possibility of any raoro
than arises from u gas jot , and it is no
moro objectionable in point of cloanli-
nc.sa. There is nothing to got out of
order and no apparent reason why a
burner will not last as long as the
furnace itself. The oil is sprayed and
volatized and burns with every charac
teristic of natural gas. With both
burners turned on the furnace was filled
with intensely hot-white flames , giving
a degree of heat many times greater
than was required.
After these actual and practical ro-
aults Mr. Bixby has determined to take
hold of the business and will push it in
Council BlulTs , Omaha and surrounding
country.

ADVENTURES ON THE FRONTIER ,
A Girl's Notes ufii .luuriipy from Kiiullns to
Lost Cabin.
JVcu ) 1'or/c / Ilccoiilcr.
Early in Juno wo two girl bachelors
decided to visit our ranchman brother in
an unsettled corner of Wyoming known
as Lost Cabin. Wo started with vaguest
ideas in regard to our destination. Wo
know only it was somewhere across the
American Desert , in the heart of the
Big Horn Mountains , a hundred miles
from the shriek of the locomotive and
seventy-live miles from the smallest col
lection of houses which could bo digni
fied by the n a mo of town. Our railroad
journey terminated at Hnwlins. a fron
tier sottleraoti ) ; Which may be said lo
Jiavo graduated toughness. Next
morning wo started on n five days' jour
ney across tha bar on tract of country
known as tho/.Groat American Desert ,
formerly existing ih my mind as an ab
stract map qu6'tlon ' | , but since that trip
ns the sternest-reality.
There were four in our party , our
brother , a fric'nu of his and wo two girl
bachelors , Our- conveyance was an un
covered spring wagon drawn by two
stout horses.elt would not have boon so
uncomfortablo'woro it not for the load of
freight which ou brother was bringing
out free of charge'to people living along
the route. Frcitrhts are &o high in that
section of the country that the residents
have no delicacy in asking a neighbor
who is going to town to bring back any
thing ofvhich they stand in need , from
a cooking stove to a spool of cotton.
Which explains why the floor of our
wagon was covered with milk pails ,
churns , pots , pans and kettles , flannel
shirts and high boots. Our brother in
tends to run for congress some day , so
ho always makes it a point to bo oblig
ing.VVo
VVo jolted on over ruts and gullies for
about eight hours , a blazing sun shining
full upon our hands and faces. The
scenery , or , moro properly speaking , tbo
absence of it , is the same all over the
desert. The eye wearies of arid wastes
and sterile foot hills , varied only by a
rankly luxuriant growth of sagebrush
and prickly cactus. Seeing no prospect
of anything to eat , wo began to think
regretfully of the blue coffee , leathery
stonk and sodiv biscuit which we hud
Consumed that morning at breakfast.
Tlio hope of coming to a road ranch
whore wo could get something to eat and
rest for a while had buoyed us up nil
day. But as time slipped on wo began
to fear that wo were all acting n sort of
latter day "babes in the woods" tragedy.
Tlio conclusion that wo were upon virgin
soil was only dispelled by the battered
up tomato cans and fragments of
sloughed overalls whioh wo came across
from time to time.
After wo had gone tobogganing down
the very abysses of hunger and wretch
edness , ono of the boys called out that
the hotel do Sagebrush was in sight. It
wusn little one-storied cabin , built of
rough cottonwood logs. About it
lounged a group of idlers , sombrero cov
ered and top-booted. As wo approached
one of them arose and shouted with a
strength of lung ono would not expect to
llnd in anything but n Durham : "Billy !
Hero's u wagon with wlmmlng ! " Wo
men are still a sulliclont r.irity in the
American Desert to command the at
tention given to rare animals.
Out cunio mine host , apologizing pro
fusely : "For Gawd'd sake , why didn't ,
yo lot mo know y' was coming. I'd a
turned out a few pies , ( Pies are the
highest notch uMho culinary art on the
frontier. ) The fcjlows , " indicating the
group about t.tho door , "has plumb
cleaned mo outnof victuals. " Seoingtho
cannibalistic gleam in our eyes , ho has
tily added : " /"rocjldn I kin got you n
bite , but I don't like this yore way of
taking a man bjy surprise. "
Wo two yonngi , women were then
shown into tlui bunk room , which is a
general sleeping "room , free to all who
take supper at ) ranch. The furniture -
turo consisted tit several beds colored
with queer lee lbf * rjuilts , and n looking
glass which gavb fyiuk n green and wavy
reflection. Our host presently knocked
on the door and- handed us a dislnmn
half full of water'With ' the remark that
ho thought thu'ladles might like to
clean up a bit ? * IIo then gave us a
Turkish bath ttowol which had grown
old , gray and discouraged. A chunk of
brown soap followed in the waUo of the
towel , and lastly a comb and a bruHh on
which was enough hair to start a wig
shop. I waited patiently , feeling sure a
tooth brush would come next , but it did
not. Wo mudo a hasty toilet without
the assistance of Billy's publin toilet
articles , however , and rejoined the re
mainder of our party in the kitchen.
Billy was muKincr rapid preparation
for supper , swabbing oil the oilcloth
covered table with a towel , twin to the
ono ho had presented us with. Owing
to a shortness in ono of his legs lip
limped rather slowly about. Turning to
us ha said rather apologetically : "Look
hero , ladles , 1'vu got u dibcrupnncy in
ono of my logs , nn It makes mo sort o'
slow , but supper's most ready. "
Wo sat down presently to the moal.
Despite tlio simplicity of the table ap
pointments nnil the uncertainty as to
cleanliness , everything lookoil wonderfully -
fully good. The monl consisted of antelope -
lope btcivk , cnnnnd tomntoos ( right out
of the shell , not oven warmed ) , soda
biscuit nnd colTco. Hilly stood bv , keepIng -
Ing the Illos oft with that awful Turkish
towel , and watching the simple- food
disappear with a tenderness that was
almost maternal.
Doing anxious to cover ground while
our horses were fresh , wo resolved to
drive on to the next post station , which
was about twenty miles distant , nnd
intiko It our stopping place for tlio night.
As wo drove ever the lonely waste lands
the sun was setting in such a flood of
gorgeous coloring that it robbed the
barren landscape of half its dreariness.
Bunches of loan cuttlo etooil about
staring at the team with bovlno interest.
Wo did not moot a soul in that drive in
the gathering darkness. The sound of
our voices , lie | clatter of the horses'
hoofs , the rumble of the team , \vcro the
only sounds which broke the stillness of
the desert.
it was almost midnight when wo
reached Hohacks , which , besides being
a road branch , was also a postolllco and
barroom. This combination of attrac
tions tirow iv goodly number of sheep
herders , cowboys , trappers and prospectors
poctors to the place. There were no
women folks at Hohacks , but our host
worked industriously to supply the
deficiency , cooking us a hot supper ,
though It was pist midnight , and turnIng -
Ing his guests out of the bunk room to
sleep on the prairie , that it might bo at
our disposal.
Wo girls were both ns sunburnt ,
grimy and travel-stained as it was pos
sible to bo. Still the frontier gallants ,
all of whom were armed to the tooth ,
kept coming into the room where wo
were eating supper to s > ot their watches
by an old clock whioh our host told us
parenthetically had not gene for three
years.
Wo found Mr. Bohack a hit slangy.
During supper ho gave us the frontier
mimes for the different articles i of food
ontho table.
"I ( suppose n , couple o' lady tenderfoot
like you don't know what's meant by
overland trout or Cincinnati chicken ? "
Wo confessed our ignorance.
"S'all the same thing. Overland
trout and Cincinnati chicken is just
plain bacon , plain everyday bacon. Hen
fruit's eggs. Dope or sop is slowed
blackberries or apples. Ointment is
butter , an' that's all the butter yo got
round these diggings is good for. " Wo
did not press our host for n larger
glossary.
\Vo had brought our own bedding
along in the wagon , not caring lo sleep
on the hospitable mattresses which re
ceive guests night after night without
change- - linen , Next morning wo sat
down to breakfast with about fifteen
men of various degrees of frontier dis
tinction , from Hanks , the misanthro
pical singe-driver , who had boon jilted
some months before by a prairie flower
known "Mountain Pink " down
as , to a
huntod-looking wretch who had just
boon acquitted for the murder of his
father-in-law. The murder was declared
justifiable , as the father-in-law was in
the habit of tapping his children on the
head with an uxwhilo intoxicated.
When wo were introduced to Hanks
ho merely gave us a passing glance full
of eyrjicism and distrust. In facsour
sox was against us , the stage driver hav
ing a small opinion of , womankind in
general , and not without some reason.
Ho was formerly a great character ,
people used to go miles to hoar him toll
about his blood curdling encounters with
stage robbers , or how ho slew a whole
family jot boars with only ti jackknifo.
In fact , no ono in that section of tlio
country was regarded as a well informed
traveler who had not nindo the trip from
Bohacks to Rawlins and back again on
his stage. It was regarded as n sort of
"doubling the Horn. " In these palmy
days Hanks kept a stocking which ,
rumor said , was swelled to the same
bulbous proportions as these exhibited
on chiropodists' signs to illustrate the
appearance of a foot before treatment.
The swellings on Hanks' stocking , however -
over , wore the result of tlio treatment of
a long and systematic dosing of WO gold
pieces , administered internally to the
stocking.
The following melancholy narrative
will show how the stage driver lost his
money and his confidence in human na
ture at ono blow.
At the terminus of tlio stage route
dwelt a lady known by the name of
"Mountain Pink , " who enjoyed the ro-
speet of the community for many sterling
qualities. Hanks took dinner and
changed horses at "Mountain Pink's'1
every ether day. The acquaintance
gradually -ippcned into love. There
was an impediment to tfoo union of thn ? "
Hwo souls with but a single thought,1'
for the lady was already married. But
as "she had never got on with her hus
band nohow , " to quote local gossip , she
proposed getting a divorce from him
and marrying the stage driver , if the
latter would furnish the necessary funds.
Hanks gave her the stocking containing
the accumulated wealth of MB life.
In the meantime a stranger had taken
up his residence at "Mountain Pink's"
ranch. She always spoke of him as
"that gontlotnan from Missouri what
herded mules. " No ono appeared to
take any notice of him. Imagine the
consternation therefore which fell upon
the community when ono morning it
was discovered that tlio faithless
"Mountain Pinic" and the Mlssouriim ,
who followed the gentlemanly calling of
herding mules , had boon made one.
The truth was finally forced upon the at
first unbelieving Hanks , They had
olonod , married and set up housekeep
ing at Rawlins on the contents of his
stocking. To quote the remarks that
the stage driver made on that occasion
would require fireproof paper and a blue
pencil of the strongest color.
Wo left Bohacks as noon as possible ,
despite tlio numerous inducements winch
our host held out to us if wo would re
main. But pics for dinner , a coyote
hunt and a trip to the Indian village
wore not sulllclontly seductive to make
us iroloiir ) ( our stoppages on the route.
A drive of twenty-live mlles through
chokinc dust and straggly sago brush
bought u n to our next stopping placo. It
was a wretched looking cabin , standing
deserted upon u Hat prairie , with the af
ternoon sun pouring down upon the mud
roof , Ono of the boys climbed out of the
wagon and disappeared inside the hovel ,
Wo could not BOO just what sort of tab
leau was made , but wo hoard the follow
ing conversation : "Sou here , my good
man , wo all want our dinner right away ,
double quick. We've got seine ladies
outside who are not used to roughing it ,
so lot's have something nice. " A mnn'H
voice drawled out presently in answer :
"Kf you nnd them ladies is so damn par-
tickilar , you can all turn out in the bngo
brush. 1 ain't going to git no dinner
today , nohow. "
Wo girls climbed out of the wagon to
plead for something to cat The next
station was half a day's journey distant ,
while , to use the local language , both
we and our horses "wero plumb tuck
ered out. " The place was n postolllco as
well as a road ranch. A woman who
lived somewhere- the vicinity nnd
had como for mail interviewed UH at the
door.
"Sukes nlivol" she said , in answer to
our question as to what was the matter.
"I dun no what's come o'Johnnie's man
ners , 1 ain't ever scon Him like this
boforo. Ho scorns torrlblo snd nn' i
cussln' considerable. " Wo wont Insldo
and sure enough wo found .lohnnh
"cussln' "
considerable. Ho was ono o
these tall , s'.ondor , willowy men whoso
feet and hands seem to linvo boon do
volnncil at the expense of thj rest of lit
body.
Ho was standing near the stove a pic
ture of woo , with a most miserable look
ing infant thrown over ono arm , heat
downward , while with the disengaged
hand ho was trying to fry moat , turning
it by tossing up the pieces In the pan
nnd catching them on the robound. This
process naturally splashed tlio ho
grenso on the father and child. The
former became moro profane , the Inttoi
wept louder nnd deeper each time i
plcco was turned. Wo offered to mlm
the baby for Johnnie , and as ho Utrnoi
him over to our care ho mndo the fol
lowing apology : "Ladles , excuse 111 }
language , but it makes mo so
\vhon things comes to such a pass as
this , that n man's wife will do up hoi
ball dress In a gripsack , go to a bull in
Lnndorand leave a mnn lo got dinnoi
and mind the baby. Why , Indies , it
makes mo so gel darned hot 1 don't know
what I am saying. "
Wo made our next stopping place bo
fore nightfall. Hero our aeeominoda
lions were quite luxurious in compari
son to the ether road ranches. The
walls of the room were covered with
whlto cheese cloth neatly tacked over
the cottonwood poles and mud plaster
At the other stations they had boon
baro. Some attempt at decoration had
boon made by tacking "boforo and
nftor" patent medicine advertisements
on the walls. There was also a motto
ever the front poor requesting Provi
dence to bless the promises. In fact the
refining presence of a woman assorted
itself in a number of remarkable de
vices accredited with making home
happy.
Wo were tired from the continued
jolting and the long drive under tlio
broiling aim. Wo should have been
glad to retire immediately after suppar ,
but our landlady said it was such a
'spell since she had seen any women
oik" that wo submitted to her cate
chism regarding the shape of bounots ,
the cut of gowns and such Hko feminine
matters. Among ether things the land
lady told us she kept a "government'
for her children , who was "an olognnl
educated young lady from Nobrnsky and
wrote in a dairy. " After an introduc
tion to this combination of talents , however -
ever , wo felt sure that whatever evi
dences of genius were locked in the
pages of her dairy , her conversational
olTorts did not promise a second Bash-
kirtsoft" .
The room in which wo were to sloop
had several beds. Just as wo wore about
to retire , the landlady again appeared
and asked us if wo would have any ob
jections to sleeping in the same room
with "tho lady what did her cooking. ' '
She was closely followed by the lady in
question , who resembled nothing'so
much as a mutton chop grown cold in its
own gravy or a fried potuto which had
been drained. Any objections wo had
to accepting this lady as n room male
would have to bo made in her presence ,
and ns she was such a forlorn , tired look
ing old thing wo had not the ho.irt lo re
ject 1)31' ) .
After leaving Rouge's , which is the
name of the last stationwp were obliged
to continue our journey without the aid
of road ranches , as the country between
there and Lost Cabin was entirely un
settled. Our mess box was ucll sup
plied with provisions , but wo were fear
fully short of water , our road so far hay
ing been through a section of country
watered by alkali creeks , the streams of
pure water having dried. Along the
route wo were obliged to drink water
which had been .brought from Lost Cabin
to Rawhns a week before.
Our road lay through the Muskrat
canyon. Since the beginning of our jour
ney wo had not scon a tree or a leaf.
The sun poured down , blistering out-
hands and faces , swelling 'our lips , until
wo lost all resemblance to white"people. .
The wagon jolted down gulches and rat-
tied ever foothills of the Big Horn
mountains. A moro desolate tract of
country it would bo impossible to find ;
rocks and bowlders woroi prinklcd over
the desert waste as if they had been
shaken from sornomammoth pepperbox.
Great white alkali patches spread over
thetground , looking from the distance
like'clothes bleaching in the { dun , but
never the trace of a dwelling.
Wo journoyi.d till sunset , the clouds
of dust which the team created causing
a dreadful thirst , and water in the cask
getting lower. Wo had hoped lo find a
creek not poisoned with alkali , but the
bellowing of the cattle for water con
vinced us before reaohinirtho place that ,
the stream had dried. The sun hau sot ;
it was impossible to proceed further that
night. Wo camped'by the parched bed
of the stream , and cooked and washed
wi'h ' the little water remaining in the
cask.
cask.Nature
Nature , as though in some measure to
compensate this desolate region , makes
the sun sot over the Bad Lands with a
gorgeousness which is beyond descrip
tion. The parched hills , too steriloovcn
to support a growth of sagebrush , the
dusty road and the white alkali patches
which never know the benefit of a drop
of moisture , take on a reflected glory.
Along the western horl/.on the deep rod
liirht glows far into the night , softening
thin scene of unparalleled desolation.
Wo built a lire , ate supper and slept
under the broad canopy of heaven , our
cars full of the sounds of the suil'oring
cattlo. The only thing that sustained
us the next morning was the thought
that wo would reach our journoy'n end
thnt day. Wo drove along the remain
ing number of miles , too thirsty to com
plain. At hfst the straggling outhouses
of the raucn were in sight. The Ibraol-
I ten could not have welcomed tholr first
glimpse of the promised land more
joyfully than wo did our sight of the
Lost Cabin.
