SIODI Crrr , Jo. , May 80. | Special Tele
gram to Tun BHE.J Thp White Socks smote
the Corn Huskcrs hip and thigh In to-day's '
game. Thrco. thousand people flocked to the
grounds to sea the Corn Huskcrs xvrcak
retribution for yesterday's detent , but they
could only sigh for txvo mortal hours , whllo
the visitors rubbed double dyed humllation
into tbo loBors. Up to the seventh inning It
was not a contest on the part of the bUUir , so
much to xvlu the gnmo as to escape boinfc
hut out ; nnd it was a.narroxv escape. They
could not penetrate Clarke's mysteries , and
the few hits they mndo were puny
and futllo. Hardly anybody beyond
the infield had anything to do ,
and moat of the locals were easily cut off at
first base. For six Innings not a single ono
got as far as second basu. The solo run xvas
scored in the seventh Inning.
After Glenn had been cut off nt first ,
Poxvcll got first on balls and took third on
Genius' hit to right Hold.Gonins mada a
bold run forsecond base , and succeeded In
so mtorestlne Andrews and Crooks that
Poxvoll got home. Then Brosnan How out
V ; right field.
& * Jar as tbo Corn Huskers nro concerned
as to the rest of the game , It Is ono murder
ous story of weak taps neatly llolacd to first
base , only varied by strike outs. On the
other hand , tbo visitors played oven a moro
vigorous game than yesterday , slugging the
bail all over the field for base hits. Crooks
distinguished himself by making txvo clean
homo nins , for. xvhich ho received the
hearty plaudits of the croxvd. They were
aided by the errors und awkward xvork of
the locals. But they earned the game hon
estly , and clearly overpowered their oppo
nents.
In the tirst inning Mcssitt got his base on
balls , stole second , and went on to third on
Hollman's xvlld throxv over second. Ho
scored on Cleveland's bit to Brosnan , who
retired thn batter at first. Strauss secured
his base on a fly to Glenn , xvbich was diffi
cult to field. Ho stole second. Crooks got
to first , and Strauss xvcnt to third and tallied
on Coonoy's txvo-bagger to center field.
In the next innings tbo visitors , D.V hard
bitting , knocked out a run in each ,
but xvhen it came to the fifth
inning it looked as if they xvould keep on
. scoring till dark. Crooks opened with a
wipe to right field for txvo bags. Cooney
then took tlrst base on Bradley's fumble , end
stole second. WuISh xvas cut off at first , but
Andrews' safe bit scored Crooks nndCoonoy.
Canavan got first on Cllno's redolent fum
ble. Andrews scored on Clarke's bard hit to
center field , nnd Messltt'a two-base hit
brought Canavan homo , and Clarke and Mos-
sltt scored on Cleveland's safe hit.
. Just when it seemed the slaughter would
never stop , a double play retired Cleveland
and Strauss. The latter mndo a sharp hit ,
' which Cllno.threxv to secondithen passed to
first in time to catch the batter. This double
ploy was tbo only relieving feature of
'
the work of tbo Corn Huskcrs. The
run m the sixth inning xvas 'Crooks' home
rua oa a magnificent effort , xvhlch lifted the
- bell far boyona tro fence.
The locals , are badly crlpulcd by Burko's
, lllncsn , and as ho can not go into the field for
' at least a week , they stand little show at St.
, Paul. It looks noxv us if they xvould go doxvn
to fourth place , before they get home. Of
b the total of twenty bases on hits made by the
visitors , Crooks made twelve.

There xvns a tensing mooting- , lost night ,
under tbo misplccs of the Iron Hall nt the

affect of moro satisfactorily bringing to the
attention of the people the objects of this
association and the estimable- gentlemen xvho
re1 present It.
Mayor Brontch was Introduced , lie wel
comed the visitors in a neat , speech , In which
ho spoke of the t > loasuro it afforded him to
meet tbo delegates , the favorable impression
they had inado upon him , and the Rood effect
tbolr visit woul > biwo upon the city xvhon
they should return to tbolr Louies and toll of
the prosperity of Omaha.
The members of the order were seated
on the stage , and liberally applauded the
sentiment and points of the address.
Mr. Edwin J. Walker , of Philadelphia ,
was Introduced by the chairman , James H.
Eckorsly , and delivered a felicitous reply.
Horoturnod thanks for the kindly greeting
In behalf of the 1)0,000 members of Uiu Iron
Hall throughout the country. They had scon
the beauties of Omaha , and had studied the
great advantages mid felt that Omahans
ought Indued to bo proud of thotr jlty. It had
impressed them vnry favorably , and when
they returned to their homos , if they sow
young mon who deal rod to begin life , they
would tell 11) em to pack up and como to
Omaha.
The Musical Union orchestra played ,
In an excellent , manner , a very choice se
lection.
W. R. Goodull was then introduced , and
recited "Over the Hills Prom tbo Poor
House , " with dramatic sympathy and la-
tensity , and was warmly appreciated.
J. J. Whipplo , ox-mayor of Hrocton , Mass. ,
spoke of the struggles in Massachusetts of
fraternal bcaeflciary associations , as revealed -
vealed to him whllo a member of tbo Massa
chusetts legislature , and serving as secre
tary of a comuilttco appointed by tbat body
to Investigate Insurance companies on the
assessment plan. The antagonism of the
old line insurance companies , whoso Hold
hud been invaded , was satisfactorily ex
plained. Continuing , the gentleman said :
"Tho luostion has bean asked In my hearing -
ing , 'Why did the Iron Hall como to Omaha
to hold its supreme sitting ] ' ana 'What is the
Iron Hall I' First , let mo toll you that the
fame of your prosperity and growth extends
from cast to west and from north to south ,
and that wo in the cast were curious to observe -
serve for ourselves tbo confirmation of all
the stories of marvelous growth having for a
tborna the city of Omuba , the gateway between -
tweon the cast and the west. Tbo last
question I will nnswrtr by saying that the
Iron Hall is a fratprnal beneficiary associa
tion which represents to-day 50,000 people.
The gentleman' stated that there were
In the cast a grenj. many institutions doing
an Insurance business' on tbo assessment
nlun , and usitodijtis. bearers not to confound
with every company advertising Itself as an
assessment Insu anc9 company the Iron
Hull , as that bod.xj.wqs fraternal in mako-up.
Hon. M. D. Chu.'rcb.J'of Massachusetts , was
then Introduced , uud spoke as follows : "I
must say that the , remarks of the mayor of
this handsome city" embody the best sentiment -
ment I have listened , , to. In almost every
sentence lie imparted information to 'mo that
was highly grntllj'mgH Ho said * that wo had
dropped. from Ihp clouds , as it were , Into
your city , and al&6 fn firmed you that wo had
paid our way. I don't know but that the ap
pearance , of. so infl'W ' P * IUB ' " white hats may
have nroused a suspicion in Omaha that wo
were White Caps.'unu for that reason I as
sure you tha thointefltsand purposes of , that ;
organization ilro.fdrcigif to the province of the
" y *
Iron Hall. "ft
"Wo Jcamo hero to-nlcht as pilgrims ,
nearly all , of us. Most of us arc a lone way
from homo , and our homos are as dear to us
is are your own snug homesteads. But that
hardship is lost sight of when wo consider
that wo are hero representing tbo order of
the Iron Hall in its own behalf , to present to
you the proposition that this organization
holds out to tbo pcoplo of the United States.
As I cast my eye over this audience I per-
rcivo that I am not addressing an audience of
millionaires. I see men who are grapollng
with the overy-day battle life , and earning
their bread as tbo bible said they should , by
the sweat of their broxv , men with muscle
and with brain dealing with the practical
questions of lifo.
"To you I say that our order protects you
and your little ones. Assistance is not given
you only in the event of your being buried ,
und for the casement of these loft behind
you , but the protection of the Iron Hall , the
benefits of which Inure to you and which you
may enjoy and share with your family as It
grows up around you , Is salvation for the
living.
"Tno order ot the Iron Hall , as has been
assorted by legislature after legislature , is a
fraternal benollt association , the members of
which are associated together , for mutual
benefit. Its principles will Insure you the
enjoyment of thn principles of mutual pro
tection while you are ynt on earth , und. In
this respect our order differs from oil other
mutual associations existing.
"Up to 18S1 this question of the payment
of bcnellts of this character to the living had
not been answered satisfactorily , and It xvas
loft to the founder of this beneficent organi
zation. Mr. Somorby , to determine that the
aid such as wo propose , could bo given the
living as well as the dead.
"The question had often boon mooted , but
It was reserved to the Iron Hall , and the
successful conduct ot eight years of its ac
tivity to solve the great problem. The
method of securing this desirable end I will
Icavo to the masterly exposition of Mr.
Somerby.
"Wecaraotoyour beautiful city to hold
our fourth biennial session of the supreme
sitting in order that you might see the rep
resentative body of the order and judge
from the utterances of our founder , and the
records which will substantiate him , of the
confidence that should rightfully bo con
ceded to the Iron HalL
" 1 hope that the effect of our move will bo
salutary , and that Instead of one branch of
our organization appearing in your midst ,
tweuty-ono will demonstrate the desirability
and pormunenco of Iron Hall In this section
of the country.
"I commend to you a careful consideration
of our alms , feeling assured that you will ro-
card them as practical. I wlsn especially to

Working , man and WHO together , doing all

five or thirty years they glvo up
in despair , nnd others nro looking forward ,
hoping that there may bo some bettor fortune
In tbo future , and say , oh I It It Is possible
through thU system that I ctin got $1,000. I
want it. And I want to tell you how I bo-
llovo you can do It. $350. $50 Invested In the
rosurvo nnd f.l)0 ! to purchase the protection ,
will glvo mo the protection I Ye * . $210 by
ladles will glvo them 9300 ; that will glvo you
your protection. Under the present circum
stances wo have everything to encourage us
to bollevo that it will como within these
bounds. All you want Is to bo assured ot it ,
nnd tbo work Is accomplished , Now then ,
lot mo speak ot co-operation. It docs not
moan invsolt , it moans us. Our money , not
mlno. undertaking , ns the Insurance monde
do , to figure out a $1,000,000 liability for a
thousand mon , nnd each man paying in $350 ,
wo nro filSO short. That Is the only arith
metic they hnvo got , that Is whcro they have
come , that Is where- they stagger nnd say ,
You should bo.vo nothing to do with that
kind of business.
"Lot o.ich man of the order introduce four
men , ono n year apart , and the product of
tnoso four men. together xvlth his own in
vestment , will produce nil the protection the
Iron Hull guarantees. Now , then , lot us sco
if that will work out I When my friends
hero were ono year old there were lbOU of
them ; when the next i oar closed wo hud In
troduced during that year into the order
3,000 moro. The third year iKJ ! , ( ) moro were
added. Well , than , when the ilrst men were
sovcii years old , the next were six , and tbo
next were five. They were all paying nt the
same time , all according to the s.imo condi
tions , all the money xvas used to moot the
present liability just ns it should occur , not
looking to sco xvhothcr it was the dollar this
man paid or that. Co-operation bringing It
all together , making it all ono purse for nil ,
and to every ono the man xvho llrst needs it
by reason of sickness , or xvho llrst becomes
sovcii years old , and to thcso men the ontlro
fortune belongs , if necessary , to redeem any
pledge.
"But , suppose you do not got your four
men for quo I Wo must have thorn ; it is a
ground-hog ease , uud xvo have got thorn.
Just multiply , if you please , 45,000 in seven
years , and tbo llrst year 1,800. Have xvo got
four members 1 Ono thousand eight hun
dred , if they all paid assessment at the same
time xx-hat would they pay } So von ty odd
thousand dollars. Then , when that is ex
hausted xvo just put our hand doxvn Into the
pocKotsof 47OJO for moro , und so on. xVo
will got our hand into some of your pockets
the next time , for you will bollovo in this
cause , and your money will bo hero , but If
you need anything after n membership of
sixty days , the great army is nt your back ;
nil their money is for your uso. If you meet
xvith total disability , help at once ; if you
continue seven years .on thi * plan , It is all
you have to do , an'd you will receive at tbat
time.
'How about your last man , you say' "
"I don't icnow xvho is going to be the I&st
man. I am a young man yet , but I don't ex
pect to llvo long enough , however , to see the
last man paid off in tbo Iron Hall. But , sup
pose xvo were to pay him ? I can Illustrate-
no hotter than to say I xvould not bo guilty of
the foolishness of looking for the last man.
Ono man dies , another takes his place. For
every death there is recorded a birth. There
uio as many men maturing and becoming
twenty-ouo years of ago this year as there
xvero txvcnty years ago. Your bankers hero
are not looking for the last man. Your real
estate men hero are not loouing for the last
man , nobody hero for the last five or six
years has bcon looking for the last man to
como horn. Do you build your business on
that kind of talk I Some of you xvould not bo
so happy if you thought the Inat purcbas'or
bed como to Kansas City. The paper that is
out xvith your name on itnnd which is re
maining unpaid on that house and lot , xvould
stare you iu the face. If the last purchaser
had come this would bo u sorry day for you. "
"Wo light the battles of the Iron Hall by
meeting its obligations , standing face to face
xvlth its opposors and meeting them in cash ,
which Is a knock-down argument and ono
that will win every time , as you have in your
strugelo. It costs nothing to belong- thn
Iron Hail ; no man or woman can on tbat
ground'Justiflably excuse themselves from
belonging * . 'You can spend the dollar , you
can bo foolish and throxv it away , you have
boon doing it all your lives , some of you ,
buying things that you did not need , satisfy
ing this de.slro or that , and then you xvlsh
you had waited a littio longer ; how much
better I might have done xvith it by this sys
tem of co-operation. Every man and woman
belonging to the order has pledged to them
the xvcalth of the order , every dollar is hy-
pothcc.itcd for tbo interest of the ordor.
"Then does it cost anything to belong to
this order ) Why , lot us sco what it has been
doing :
"Wo have paid in Kansas City in seven
years and five months 440 claims , making a
total receipt by the Kansas City members of
SJT.bOO.
"All tbo contributions made by the
branches in Kansas ( Jity to the supreme
sitting is $20,578.40 , , shoxving an overpayment
by the members of the order to the members
in Kansas City of $11.811.00.
"Horo are a few prominent faetp. VVo
have paid out $3,820,000 to 31,000 members in
tbo United States. We have u reserve fund
% of $000,000 , and the order is growing at the
rate ot two thousand a month. Fourteen
matured certificates have boon paid.
"It is growing lute , but I must say that
the Order of the Iron Hall Is under great
obligations to the city of Omaha for the cor
dial reception accorded its representatives ,
nnd T , for one , xvill sound the praises of this
magnificent city , built up In the garden spot

An Annnylni ; Suit ,
A slight annoyance , occasioned by tbo re-
colpt of Intelligence of the institution of a
suit against the order at Indianapolis ; und
the accompanying report that u receiver had
been asked for , xvas done uwuy xvith to a
great cfttcnt by the letter given bcloxv. The
claim of the plaintiff is explained to have
boon entirely unfounded , us Indeed xvas de
cided by the court. Following is the letter :
INDIANAPOLIS , May 29 , 18SU. Supreme
Sitting Order ot Iron Hall , Omaha , Nou.
Gentleman : Having noticed in the news
papers of Indianapolis a fexv days since an
account of the suit brought by Henry Bock-
xvlth against the order of the Iron Hall , I
think it xvould not bo Improper for mo to
make a short statement.
Several years past , until within a few
months , I was the onlclal reporter of tbo
morchantllo agency of II. C. Pun & Co. , and
as such reporter It was my duty to thor
oughly investigate all corporations und mer
chants doing business in tno city of Indian
apolis , both as regards financial standing and
character of the persons xvho manage their
affairs. I have often investigated the affairs
of the order of the Iron Hull , and always
found them In a highly satisfactory condi
tion. Every facility wan given mo to in
spect the books and financial workings of
the order , and in comparison xvilh other
mutual organisations , I lound the expenses
of conducting its business to bo very low.
The character of the ofllcers among banks ,
bankers and the general public is in every
particular the highest. I huvo investigated
every suit brought against tbo order , and
always found the order was In the right
xvhen resisting such suits.
The suit spoken of at the beginning of this
letter , I am satisfied , after thorough Investi
gation , was brought through malice.
This letter Is entirely unknown und unso
licited by any of the ofllcers or members of
your order.
I am a member of no order nnd have no nx
to grind , but think that justice should bo
dpnq to all. I remain , gentloinon. respect
fully yours , HoiiBUT P. UUXUAN.

from abroad ia the stutoinont that Rus
sia is RoliiK into the business of aaltlnrr
pork for the English trado.
Russia 1ms intulo grout progress in de
veloping her natural resources in recent -
cent years , nnd she Is by great odds the
most tintlvo and the biggest competitor
America has In the world's mnrkots for
the products of the noil. She has
seemed to learn lessens from this coun
try , and to learn them quickly. She
has nlroady cut grout slices out of t\v6 \
of America's export Industries , nnd is
noxv preparing to blto oil n portion ot a
third. As competitors o ( this country ,
the noxv republics of South America.
the third continent of the far east , mid
crndo-mothod India , xvith her vast area
of arable land , and her mouses of igno
rant , slow-lei'rninp laborers , are of lit
tle account beside that apotheosis of
despotism styled Russia.
The most mnrkotl development of
Russia's industries is in the product of
mineral oils. She used to import mil-
inillioiiB of gallons from the United
States yearly. About ( Iftocn years ago
her oxvn Holds began to bo developed
and noxv the annual production of Rus
sian naphtha isl.oOO million pounds.
Of this 012 million pounds arc exported
to countries once supplied by the united
States. The American trade in this
commodity hns not materially declined
in the face of this rapidly-rfaing com
petition , because the demand far oils
has increased xvith the increase in pro
duction. The American outirut and experts -
ports hayo littio moro than hold their
own.for eight or ton years , while the
Russian production hasgroxvu ono-third
larger , and the exports ono-lmif larger
yearly.
The onlareemont in Russia's trade in
cereals is next to America's in ita ro"-
mnrkablo rapidity. In twenty years
her exports of grain has tripled. In
llvo years her production has increased
50 per cont. The manner in which
American speculators were disappointed
this year by the immense quantities of
xvheat pouring into England from Rus
sia is xvoll known. The expectation of
a largo shortage in the world's supply
led the Chicago speculators to advance
values CO per cont. It xvas supposed
that England xvould have to come to
America for xvhcat nnd would pay xvhat-
ever xvas asked. But Instead she found
Russia ready to supply her needs xvith
vast stones of old xvheat added to her
big crop of noxv grain , and despite the
extreme height of the American prices
Englishmen have paid littio moro for
American xvhoat this year than they
paid last year , averaging values. This
year's experience shoxved very plainly
that America's dominion in the world's
xvhoat markets has' como to an
ond. Great Britain takes the bulk
of the surplus wheat of thoao
countries which raise moro than
they consume. Her imports from
Russia this year huvo bcon four times
these of lust year. She has gotten moro
from Russia than from America and
moro from Russia than from the Indies
and all other countries together.
Her success in the xvhoat trade and
the naphtha trade has encouraged Rus
sia to try other lines. She now proposes
Lo try for n , share of America's vast
business in meats. Her hvo stock in
dustry has not groxvu a bit in tivonty
years. Cattle have been poorly fed and
hogs neglected so I hat the meat Is very
inferior. But the climatic conditions
of South Russia are represented to bo
highly favorable to thoralsingof swine.
The government has taken hold of the
matter. An appropriation for an ex
perimental slaughtering house has boon
made and the imperial banks huvo been
empowered to render financial assist
ance to the now industry. The exper
iment is ono of enormous importance to
the packers of this country. Their ex
port business amounts to $00,000,000 an
nually. If a good portion of this is to
bo delivered over to Russia , it xvill bo
in order to ask : What uoxtr
Meantime , is it not something of u
peculiar anomaly that the chief store
houses for supplying the products of
the soil to the xvorld should bo , respect

GOLD IN THETR/XNSVAAL.
Scenes orExctctitont | That Carry One
Muck 30 Knrlr Cillfornia D.iya.
The report of Consul Hollis on the
gold fields of the Transvaal carry one
back to the exciting times of early Cal
ifornia. The mining territory covers
an area of over 1,600 square miles , and
is only the bpgimiingof mineral discov
ery. Rion silver bearing lodes are also
found ot great extent. ExtuiiKivo deposits -
posits of shale , rich in petroleum , have
also been discovered. Manufacturers
in the United States are handicapped
in their efforts to introduce their xvaros
by the cost and difllcultics of ittiribiior-
tatloh. At present American machin
ery must bo sent to England and traiib-
shipped to the cape line , incurring tlio
double risk of breakage nnd adding to
the cost of transportation. The urgen
cy of tno need of miiahinery puts ship
ments by sail out of the question.
Towns und cities are springing up
like magic , and the consul believes that
a great iiold is opening there , not only
for milliner and oro-roliniii machinery ,
but for agricultural implements , hard
ware , doors and sashes nnd ' 'Yankee
notions. " According to a xvritor MI the
Pittsburg Commercial Bulletin , the
seizing of a share of this rich trade de
pends in a great measure on the estab
lishment of regular and frequent steam
transportation facilities. To insure the
development of our commerce , tli
stcanidliips to this region or elsoxvhoro
must show the American colors. Our
merchants cannot dopum ! upon the
friendly co-operation of foreign lines
whoso greater interest lies at homo.
Government aid must be extended in
the xvuy of mail contracts or tonnage
bounty to enable our ships to sail in
competition xvith subsidized foreign
line.H. On every side the lima 'seems
ripe for an extension of American com
merce in manufactured goods. All that
is needed is to socui'e to our merchants
equal fruignt facilities with their rivals.
