Tired
Eyes
Sensations exist for our guidance.
They are Nature's warnings.
Over-worked eyes demand rest.
Eyes that tire easily call for help.
Properly adjusted glasses afford the
only assistance possible.
We make a specialty of relieving
tired eyes and guarantee satisfac
tion.

The A. O. U. W. of This State
Wins Over New York.
CONTEST FOR MEMBERSHIP.
During Three Months Nebraska Gains
2,252 Members , Now York 1,101.
An Illustration of Why People Have
Confidence In the Order.
The membership contest between the
Ancient Order of United Workmen of
Nebraska and Now York , has resulted
in a signal victory for this state. The
contest started December 1 and closed
March 1 , but the figures of the net gain
rnado by each of the two jurisdictions
are just available. During the three
months , Now York gained 1,181 mem
bers , while Nebraska made an increase
of 2,252 members , demonstrating that
when it comes to a race the olio to east
lias no business to attempt to trot in
the same class with the young and hus
tling west. The 200 members of the
order in Norfolk will join with the re
maining ! i,000 ! ! members of the state in
rejoicing over the victory.
This contest was brought about by a
challenge issued by Grand Master Work
man Jaskalok to the grandmaster work
man of Now York , and its prompt ac
ceptance by the latter was the signal
that the battle was on. During the
whole three months , the membership of
the state was very much interested ,
and every man did all ho could to con
tribute to the general distress of Now
York. There are at present 802 lodges
of the A. O. U. W. in this state , with a
membership on March 1 of 9)3,200. ) In a
letter written on March 21 , announcing
the result , Grand Master Workman Jos-
kalok gives a synopsis of how the work
was done. Quo hundred and twenty-
two lodges did not initiate a single new
member during the time the contest was
on , 4t ( lodges initiated only ono candi
date , 123 lodges initiated moro than ouo
and loss than 10 , ! ! 6 lodges initiated
more than 10 and loss than 20,11 lodges
initiated moro than 20 and loss than CO ,
six lodges initiated over CO and less than
100 , while two lodges initiated moro than
100. Those two are No. 80 ot Lincoln ,
which initiated 118 , and No. 01 of
McCook , which stands at the top with
170 to its credit. Norfolk is in the
second class , having initiated 72. Feb
ruary was the banner month , moro mem
bers being added than during any other
month since the establishment of the
jurisdiction , Juno 8 , 18SG.
This wonderful growth in membership
could not have been accomplished with
out ft good foundation upon which to
work. But the A. O. U. W. has long
since passed the experimental stage , and
a beneficiary certificate in the order is
now considered as good as a governmeut
bond. As an illustration of the prompt
ness with which business is conducted
by the order , the case of G. W. Wolf of
this city is cited , On February 11 he
joined the local lodge with a large class
of others , at which time ho was enjoying
good health and his prospects for long
life were as good as the average man.
Four weeks from that day his death
was announced , resulting from pneu
monia , complicated with appendicitis.
On Wednesday of this week the grand
ledge finance committee , in session at
Grand Island , authorized the payment
ofhis beneficiary certificate of $ .2,000 ,
which goes to the benefit of his widow
and four small children. It was just
six weeks and ono day from the time ho
took the obligation as a Workman that
his beneficiary certificate was ordered
paid. His membership and dues in the
order had cost him not to exceed $5.00.
It is such cases as this that give people
confidence in the stability of the A. O.
U. W. If his death had occurred the
day following his initiation , the result
to bis family would have been the same.
The moment a man becomes a member ,
just so soon does ho begin to share in
the protection guaranteed by the order.
The A. 0. U. W. is a great fraternity ,
and that it is held in high esteem by
the people is attested by the large num
ber of candidates who are applying to
its doors for admission.
