Durlnff the past three wcclts a move has
'been on foot in the city to organize a lodge of
the order of Foresters. The movement was
inaugurated by Mr. Hums , of Chicago , n
mini nrotnlnent In the order In Illinois nnd
who has seen mid experienced the benefits of
it. Turco meetings have been hold In Ur.
Koscwntcr'u oftlco during tha past few weeks
in discussing tlio plans of Uio organization
and the supreme ofilccrs of the lotltjo have
been communicated with in regard to the
Instituting of the lodge. An olllccr will ho
In this city during the first week of August
to conduct tlio institution exorcises nnd in
stall onlccra for this lodge and the
ono recently organi/cd at South
Omaha. At the meeting last Tucs-
dny night about thirty-live persons were
present who are to be members of the lodge.
Already about llfty men have signed their
names to the list of charter members. Mr.
M. K. Kerr , Or. Kosewatcr and Mr. It. Don-
noy have been npixilntcd a committee to
draw up a constitution nnd by-laws for the
order and will report at the meeting which is
to be held next Tuesday night to complete
the arrangements of tlio organbation and
for tlm institution of the lodge.
The order Is a comparative stranger in the
city. The following facts connected with its
workings In the state of Illinois may intro
duce and tend to give it good place among
tlio men of Omaha. It is a benevolent order ,
based upon the broadest principles of mu
tual aid and fraternal intercourse in nil so
cial and business relations in life. It com
bines tlio good qualities of tlio older oidcru ,
nnd rejects such features as time and exper
ience have proven to bo impracticable , un
just and unwise. Its grand object Is to
Unite in ono true brotherhood nil good men ,
without regard to sectarian creeds , political
dogmas , or conditions in life ; to provide for
relief in sickness or disability ; to assist
the unfortunate ; to relieve the distressed ;
and to protect the widows and orphans of
deceased brethren.
Foresters are taught by the principles of
the order to bo sober , upright and conscien
tious willing to help , ready to relieve , and
obedient to tlio laws of the country , BO as to
command the respect of their fellow-men. In
their domestic relations they are taught to
be affectionate and trustful as husbands , us
fathers , regardful for the moral and material
t't' well-being of their children and dependents ;
f' ns sons , dutiful nnd exemplary ; as friends ,
fust and true.
It tenches in the most forcible manner the
t all-Important lesson of fraternity liberty ,
\A \ benevolence and concord ; that all mou are
Ii DUO faintly , and are therefore brethren. Its
I , ' . objects are to assist its members in all their
Iv Wants and needs , and to contribute to tlio
\t\ \ \ widows nnd orphans of deceased members
K \ t-,1000 , BO as to place them in a position of in-
r | dependence.
The insurance of , the order on the death of
a member Is $1,000 , which is raised by a pro
rata assessment upon tlio entire membership ,
which Is now ll,717 ! , distributed among 15U
courts. Thus , at the present time , the cost
per member is less than 8 cents for every
death that occurs. The annual dues range
from ? C to $3 per year , payable quarterly , a
majority of the courts charging the former
figure , which appears to bo sulUcicnt for cur
rent expenses. The lodges are organized
Into division courts , which are the ruling
bodies , and have charge of the finances of
the lodges and subordinate courts within
their Jurisdiction.
During the post throe years the order in
I Illinois alone has added over 7,000 members
to their lodge rolls und paid out over $ .557,407
In death losses and insurance. It is to bo
hoped that thn lodges organized in this city
may meet with grand success. The South
Omaha lodge recently organized will bo In-
itltutcd at the same time as the lodge in this
city lecently orguni/.ed.
A. O. U. W. Oilfclal Circular.
The oftlcial circular from the meeting of
the Supreme lodge of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen , recently held at Louisville ,
Ity , , announces a number of changes to the
constitution and laws of the order. Some of
the changes were :
"We recommend that all Jurisdictions now
composing the Supreme lodge beneficiary
Jurisdiction bo sot apart as separate bcnett-
clary Jurisdictions on the 80th day of No
vember , 1888 , and that these several Jurisdic
tions bo from that date subject to the provi
sions of the relief laws as they now exist. "
The following resolution presented by the
committee on laws was adopted :
"Resolved , That the supreme mastcrwork-
man Is hereby authorized and directed to sot
apart as semirato beneficiary Jurisdictions
the Grand lodges of Indiana , of Texas , of
Georgia , etc. , and of Kentucky , to take effect
November BO , 1838 , without regard to the
number of members under the jurisdiction
of said Grand lodges , respectively ; and said
Grand lodges are required to niako such
amendments to their constitutions und gen
eral laws as may bo necessary to this end. "
A resolution was introduced in regard to
temperance as follows :
Whereas , The excessive death rate in sev
eral of the grand jurisdictions of the order Is
traceable to the use of Intoxicating liquors as
a beverage ; therefore bo It
Uosolvcd , That it is the sense of this body
that the recommendation to grand lodges to
incorporate u provision In their constitution
nnd by-laws prohibiting the admission or re
tention In the order of members engaged in
the manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquors , nnd of habitual drunkards , adopted
by the supreme lodge at Its session of 1837 ,
bo and is hereby insisted upon.
The BUbicct of the Upchurch memorial
fund was discussed und a resolution passed
that all money in that fund was not with
drawn before January 1,1SS9 , would bo used
and invested for the benefit of the widow ol
the deceased founder of the institution.
The law in regard to raising of 'the relic
fund was amended as follows :
The relief fund shall ho raised by lovylnp
assessments of amounts not moro than sum
clont to produce the amount required for the
payment of cacji respective i oiler assessment
uud such assessments shall ho levied und col
looted In the same manner and under th <
Hiimo laws , rules nnd regulations as ordinary
assessments for the beneficiary Fund , unt
nil laws of the order In regard to suspension !
for non-payment of ordinary assesments 01
reinstatement of members shall bo applicabli
also to such relief assessments.
A number of other less important change :
were mudo m the general laws. The revlsci
laws have been published in pamphlet foru
und distributed among the officers of thi
order throughout the country.

"Yes , it's bad policy , " ho assented.

Why She Gave Him Up.
It was at Harvard clats day , and as
she had a ravishing gown she was in a
blissful frame of mind. Besides , she
was as good as engaged to Tom Burns ,
to whoso spread she merrily wended
her way , properly attended by n chaperone -
orono who know how to keep discreetly
out of sight.
But falo was unkind to her. She had
hardly sot her foot inside of Tom's
chambers than the host was introduc
ing her to a man whoso face gave her a
dreadful shock.
"You ought to know my cousin , Jack
Harmes , " Tom said cordially.
And what punishment could bo too
Bovero for that wretch of a Jack
Harmos , who had the cruelty to rejoin :
"Oh , wo know each other. Wo were
engaged five years ago while wo wcro
in college ; weren't wo , Miss Blank ? "
But she was a clover girl and n plucky
ono. She rallied and answered with no
appcaranco of confusion :
"Oh , no , Mr. Harmes , not engaged ,
You know mamma said that the idea of
my being engaged before I was fifteen
was absurd , and I said I didn't mind
giving you up if I could have n now sun-
shado. It was as funny as anything I
ever know. "
And so she saved herself , and if she u
not by this time betrothed to Tom she
certainly deserves to bo.
