BANKERS UNION OF THE WORLD
Its Incrtasin Business Sines fhs Bsslnnlns of the

Prostcuting Its Work Successfully In Many States.
GROWTH OF THE ORDER IN NEBRASKA.
Tho rapid progress of the Wankers Union feelings of emnlty toward rival Orders
of tho World, of this city, Is worthy of whose Jealousy of tho success of this great
special nolo In tho volume of business It Is nfilty Is here and thero manifested. It
writing which largely exceeds that which 1 take'' PleafUre ln th high class of men and
i. , .... .. women who compose Its membership:
u nas over wrtuen ncretorore, covering the . nmone them are men uhn hnl.i hl-h n,t.
Hons in stato and nation. Men and women
eminent ln tho professions and In the bust
ness and financial world, and thousands of
same period of time, namely, tho first three
nnd one-half months of tho year. Ila pre
mium rccelptH from policy holders during
tho past thrco and one-half months have
equalled nearly one-half tho amount of tho
premium Incotno for tho two preceedlng
years uf ISU'j and 1000. Tho claims paid
during tho snmo period of three and one
half months lackR about $2. 600 of being
one-half the total amount paid for the
tweiity-four months of 1S'J9 and 1900. The
gross assets of tho Order on the 15th day
of April, 1901, show a gain of some $7,000
slnco Jaunary 1.
The attention of our readers Is called to
extracts from tho report of Hon. D. W.
Wheeler, special examiner for tho Kansas
Insurance department, whoro the Order Is
now doing a very large business, Its license
for Kansas work having been renewed by
tba Superintendent of Innurnnco of the state,
Hon. W. V. Church. The growth of tho
tho steady, honest, tolling men and women
who have mado our country great. It de
lights especially In the association of fel
lowship of tho man who works from early
morning 'till late nt night In providing for
his loved ones and to have amongst Its
number the cheerful happy wife who makes
his llttlo home a heaven on earth.
Tho stato auditor s ofllcfal report, com
piled from tho sworn statements of the va
rlous companies doing business ln the slate
of Nebraska as to business done In 1900 In
this state, Is at hand, nnd It Is commended
to members for their careful attention.
This report shows a most phenomenal rec
ord for thft flankers Union, and places It In
advance of all fraternal orders doing busi
ness In Nebraska. The table compiled for

simply one of marvel, and the wonder Is,
how It was done. It will bo observed from
the Hankers Union Herald for April, tho
ulIHal organ of the Order, that certificates
of authority to continue Its work have re
cently been received from Kansas, Minne
sota, Missouri. South Dakota, Michigan,
loM'., Pennsylvania and several other states,
In vlow of the strong endorsement of the
Knasas Insurniicu Department, of the Ord r,
references made to tho Hankers Union of
tho World by some of the papers published
by other Orders uro very amusing and Indi
cate to what extremes sonic people will go
Intending, wo presume, to exhibit a fraternal
spirit, but to show an entire lack of the
samo In what they sny. It has never been
the practice of tho Hankers Union, nor of
any other truly treat organization, to try
to prosper by the supposed short-comings
of competitors. Much less would It think

The Increase In wages wai not duo to tho '

effect of settling that dltllculy. Long be

manager and his assistants were busy mak

peculiar caso of the machinists the new
scale will practically amount to establish

The machinists have asked for a minimum
of 30 cents. The present avcrni;e minimum
Is about 27'4 cents and tho new scale will
give many of the men 30 cents per hour

thought It time to give wny to others they
refused to stand for election. The new ofll

of tho World far ahead of all competitors as
to percentage of gain, and tho present table
shows a tike result. A gain of over 225 pr
tent In tho year 1900 Is n growth of which
the Bankers Union may well feel proud
and Is u record breaker.
Hon. D. W. Wheeler, special examiner fo
Kansas Ineuranct Department, under dat
of April 15, 1901, says: "I believe tl:
Hankers Union of the World Is fully en
titled to tho confidence of the public. The

with liabilities of only J3.772.60. Its re

steadily increasing, and as the months and
years pass by It can hardly fall to produce
an amount sufficiently large to make the
Order ono of the foremost In our land In

A movement Is on foot to secure tho per
mission of the property owners of South
Omaha to an Issue of bonds, the proceeds
to be devoted to tho purchase of 0110 or
moro parks within the city limits. It Is
reported that Syndicate park enn now be
purchased for about $25,000, but owing to
tho condltlou of the city's finances It will
bo necessary to volo bonds for the purpose,
In speaking of this mntter yesterday one
of the members of tho park commission
sulci that while he favored the purchase of
Syndicate park, he was also of the opinion
that one or two other parks should be
bought In order to even up matters. A
park Is needed In the Third ward, where
tho laboring people and tho children can
enjoy fresh breezes, green grass nnd trees.
If the Third ward gets a park then tho old
Second wnrd will want ono and something
may be done along this lino, too,
In both tho Second nnd Third wnrds, old
boundary lines being considered parks, the
slzo of Highland park can bo secured for a
comparatively small sum. A bond Issue of
$."0,000 would more than pay the. purchase
bills for the proposed parks and leave
something for maintenance, In case this
question Is seriously considered It will be
brought up at a special election ln 'order
that every voter may have tho privilege of
expressing nn opinion. At general elections
the ticket Is usually so long that the voter
gets tired boforc he gets to the bond
proposition and consequently a very small
vote Is cast. Hy holding a special election
it Is thought that the sentiment of the peo
ple can bo secured with very llttlo expense,
Tho proposition may be submitted this
summer.
Opposition I ncreimen Interest.
The opposition of some business men to
tho proposed street fair seems to have only
Increased tho Interest In the affair and now
It Is a sure go, Several now members
Joined tho association yesterday and there
has been paid In over $2,000 on tho first
assessment. Every business man ln tho
city is eligible to membership, all that Is
required Is that ho pay $125 at the time
of Joining and agree to pay an assessment
of the same amount If called upon. At the
meeting of the Hoard of Control yesterday
everything passed off smoothly and It now
looks as If tho fair was an assured success.
Of course Just now tho principal Interest
centers In the concession committee, which
Is mado up of Znck Cuddlngtou, W. L. Hol
land, C. E. Scarr and P. A. Wells. Yester
day Mogy Hernsteln submitted an offer for
the confetti privilege, which was promptly
accepted. Others are anxious for conces
sions nnd It Is predicted that tho fair will
bring a great many people to South Omaha
during tho first half of July.
Settlement Humored.
It was reported about the city building
yesterday thnt on Monday night Council
man Fred Martin would Introduce nn or
dinance repealing the present saloon occu
pation tax ordinance, This ordinance as
It now stnnds calls for an occupation tax
of $200 In addition to the $1,000 license fee,
which aoes to tho school district. Up to
the present time nlnpty-two saloonkeepers
have advertised for licenses and If the oc
cupation tnx Is allowed to remain It will
bring to the city n revenue of $18,400. As
there Is a dearth of funds Just now somo
of the members of the council nre ln favor
of allowing tho tnx to stand In order to
enable tho city to pay off a few pressing
debts, Even If Martin docs Introduce his
ordinance there Is no sure thing that It
will pass, ln tho meantime the liquor
dealers are holding back payment to tho
trcasuror with tho expectation that there
will be something doing Monday night.

SOUTHAMPTON, May 4. The trial of the
Shamrock It today had a rather unfor-
tunnto coucluMun, for tho yacht went
aahore on n bank closo to the Warner light
ship. Thu trial was practically over and
tho Shamrock came sharp around the light
ship to return to Its moorings when she
grounded on the sand. The wind was very
light at the time and It slid upon the hank
with a scarcely perceptible Bhock. There
was not wind enough to pull it off and the
Erin wns signalled to send a launch, but
halt an hour vlapsrd before the launch
cnnie and towed tho yccht off without any
llfllculty. Mr. Jameson nnd Designer Wat
son wero both on board the Shamrock when
It went aground, and both declare they arc
satisfied that tho yacht sustained abso
lutely no damage. There Is no Intention of
docking It. and there will be no Interrup
tion of Its trials.
The Btnrt this morning was under excel
lent conditions. The sun shono bright and
warm and a steady northeasterly breeze was
blowing.
An Immense amount of preparatory work
has been satisfactorily carried out during
tho last week and everything essential was
ready when Shamrock II left Its berth, Sir
Thomas Llpton and Charles Hussell ar
rived lust evening and saw the last touches
put to the preparation. V. O. Jamcnon and
Designer Watson followed this morning.
Keen Interest Is shown ln the trial and
a large number of yachts ami steamers
crowded with passengers accompanied Erin
nnd Shaminck II
The challenger hoisted Its malnnalt at
11:40 a. m. nnd shortly afterward slipped Its
moorings and lying over till Its leerall was
almost awash went racing down South
ompton water at a pace that made Erin
drive nlong at full speed to keep It in view.
Old SlinnuiirU .Vol In It.
Tho Shamrock I started shortly after
ward with sheets well off and sailing fast.
This is Its best point of sailing, but so
soon as the two got together and fairly
started the cup challenger commenced to
pull out ln fine stylo nnd had a good lead
as they camo nbreost of Calshot castle.
The manner In which tho new boat Balled
suggested that the Shamrock I has llttlo
chanco of proving a serious opponent In
the trial races. The older boat set Its top
sail soon after, but by then the yachts
had reached tho open water of the Solent
and parted company, the challenger going
toward Cowes. while the Shamrock I
started for the Hampshire side.
The challenger proved distinctly fast and
handy In turning, and, as well as could be
Judged from a yacht sailing alone, It
seemed to point well Into the wind, After
spending a couple of hours slipping about
In light winds off Cowes, the challenger
mado a long board toward Hyde. There n
fresher wind was met, and going nloug
with all canvas drawing well, the Sham
rock II footed ahead In a way llttlo short
of marvelous. Tho sweetness of tho
yacht's hull was shown by the smoothness
of Its going through the wntcr, and under
today's conditions the Shamrock II Is cer
tainly n marvel In this respect.
The wind ln which It passed Ityde was
such as might take It 'round an America's
cup courso Just Inside tho time limit, and
In these conditions it gnvo a display never
beforo equaled on this side of the Atlantic.
