OMAHA, Feb. .-To the Editor of The Bee: AVIth a good deal of regret members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles have been loading recently assertions touching the character of this organisation that are based on entirely false premise. Ignorance of (.he real ohject and work of the Eagl could alone warrant the preachments that have been put forth. First, a saintly and sinless critic of all other men, printing a paper at Lincoln, felt called upon to throw the first stone, apparently In order to get a crack at W. J. Bryan. This Christ-like t?) fulminatton, coming from the duly anointed keeper of the conscience of Nebraska church folk, has led to other papers taking up the cry, and In this morning's Bee the Stirling News Is credited with an article In which occurs these words "The Eagles, the recognised order of the suloon-keopers, brewers and distillers of the country." This Insult Is purely gratuitous. It Is true that we do take In men of any and all callings recognised by. law. We some time make mistakes, as all fraternal orders do. In accepting applications for member ship; but we also expel and drop from the rolls those we find .unworthy. Rev. Dr. F. M. Sisson, formerly of South Omaha, a Methodist minister of high standing and attainments, was a member of the order while he resided In South Omaha, and Is still. Other ministers In various parts of the country are active members, and find nothing in our tenets or practices to be ashamed of. We follow the theory that no man falls so low but that there is hope, and a way, If we have the will, to bring him up again from the bottom of the hill. Who will qur.rrel with that belief? We be lieve that money is accumulated In our treasuries to do as much good as may be. Therefore, we bury the dead decently, and before they die we have committees do all that can be done to make their sickness and travail as easily borne as Is humanly possible. We spend vast amounts of money every year for purposes of purest motive, and not one cent for political or other sim ilar purposes; further, we make no boast of our expenditures along lines that the whole world commends when the facts are known, no matter what name the doer may bear. As to Mr. Bryan and his membership, a little history will keep matters straight. No one will accuse vthe writer bf being a political friend of Mr. Bryan, but In com mon with most cittsens I may be permit ted to admire him, and to like him for his many lovable personal traits. It was I, ac companied by the secretary and the physici ans of Lincoln Aerie No. 147, who Went to Mr. Bryan's home some time last summer and took his application for membership In the Fraternal Order of Eagles. He was thoroughly advised of what . the order stands for, what it has done. Is doing, and hopes to do. He was astonished when he got the bottom facts, because he was not entirely free from at least a taint of the notions recently exploited. He had to be shown, and It wag only after being shown, with eyes wide open, that we got his appli cation. The question of time for Initiation was left in abeyance, pending the fight then on; and I believe Mr. Bryan would have fulfilled his obligation to become actively ac soclated with the ordpr as readllv If he had been elected president ss he did when defeat was his portion. It was the judgment of Past Grand Worthy President Bell, and of the local officers, that Mr. Bryan's Initia tion should be deferred until after election; nd that rule would have governed with any man of any party m similar circum stances. We do feel that he will never have cause to regret his action, whether as private citizen or In possible official sta tion. President Roosevelt Is. I believe, an hon orary member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles; and many of the leading physi cians, lawyers and business men of the cities and towns east and west are loyal, energetic members. Hera In Omaha, we Include In our membership a great many most admirable men In every walk of life. Think of the numberless aeries In the smaller towns of the country a saloon never being known In a large proportion where the general run of citlsenshlp is fully represented.. Thousands of our mem bers are farmers, other thousands laboring men, clerks and traveling men. Growth of the order Is shown by statistics to be phenomenal In the real sense of that word. After having heard the lectures and Ip- structions of the initiation, Mr. Bryan con cluded a notable little talk under the head "Good of the Order," with the words of a man all these vindictive critics of the Eagles profess to follow. "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." He who accepted the challenge may be without sin and If so. Eagles will rejoice with the angels with whom he assumes to hold dally com munion. - This communcatlon Is pardonable only as a man may be permitted to state the truth for those who may be misled. JOHN J. RYDER. State Pres. Fraternal Order of Eagles. Dream at the State Hanae. KEARNEY, Neb., Feb. .-To the Editor of Tho Bee: How I cam to ba there I cannot explain, but I found myself some how at the state capltol. In the hall where our astute law-makers spend some hours each day In frantic effort to save the coun try and the commonwealth. The seen wag for the moment . rather dull and common place, mere routine work, and I must havt dosed as I leaned Idly back In my seat Suddenly I awoke with a start and began to take notice. Some member was making a speech. He spoke loudly, earnestly and with great fervor, while tlia house listened In awed silence. It might have been Taylor of Cuater, but as to that I cannot say, but whoever he was he spoke with that Indom itable courage which has made heroes and maityrs In all ages. "Gentlemen," he said, "I muat protest In the name of the people of our fair state against the tendency you have so far shown to truckle to one man In all your leglalativa efforts, and that man not even a member of thla body. I must warn you agalnat this un-Amerlran state of things. Are ws Ro mans and this man our CaeaarT Are we slaves?" and here the six-akar threw an attitude "At we slaves and 4a ha our mas ter? Perish the thought! The only master a freaborn citizen of thla republic should acknowledge Is the Almighty and the peo ple (th spcakei said 'peepul,' but let that pass). "Now then, here Is a man who is no doubt a bright and shining light In the democratic party, but a he I ask you in all candor is he the whole thing? Is ha It, in fact? The election- return of last fall did not seem to Indicate that he la, and I confess to myself that I cannot see why this body cannot pass a law of any kind, unlesa It Is soma trifling thing like a bill regulating th length of bed aheeu, or whether a shirtwaist should have but ton befor or behind, without firat going down on banded knee to this one nan and asking nlm In a vole of aupplicatlon (o graciously please to deign to look upon tola UtU bill and sea if it meet with bis I Whe weigMy heatingqiiestion ).: Are your coal bills weighting you down eating up just that portion of your salary which would enable you to get a right start in life ? Of course it is not the coal expense alone it is the better conditioning of the bread winner, the family health protec tion, the absence of repair bills, the far greater cleanliness as it affects the life of carpets and furnishings, as well as the fuel-savings, which all together decide that the best heating for any building is secured by the use of HERHM?

"Personally I am tired of It. I was sent hera to represent a certain constituency, and, bigosh, I'm going to represent 'em, Peerless or no Peerless!" Th speaker paused and a silence. In tense, overwhelming, brooded over the place. There was a feeling of Impending disaster, ominous threatening, like the calm before a cyclone. Pale faces showed, and heavyr labored breathing could be heard. Suddenly Mr. Bryan's picture fell forward to the floor with a crash that awakened me. It had been only a dream after all. N. H. JOHNSON. Mesaeato of Lincoln. OMAHA, Feb. 6 To the Editor of The Bee: Noticing In Th Evening Bee of this data an article to the effect that Mrs. Lena Hanson of thla city was the possessor of an original copy of the New York Herald detailing the assassination and death of President Lincoln, brought to my mind a fact which I had almost forgotten, to th effect thst I am the possessor of a copy of th New York Semi-Weekly Tribun as of data April 31, 18tf. Thla was received by myself from my grandfather, who waa a regular subscriber to the paper at th time, and It bears th label, having his nam on it a papers of this day do. Th paper Is printed with heavy black column rules, and I quit an interesting rllc. It being just one week later than the assassination and detail many Interest ing fact of a historical nature. Another Interesting paper to th writer and possibly to many of th older cltlsens of our city, which I found and had almost forgotten I had. Is an original number of th Omaha Excelsior, bearing date of July, 1876, A quotation from the head of th editorial page may not b uninteresting, I a follows: "Th Omaha Excelsior, a monthly Illus trated amateur paper published by a boy 16 years old, who is It editor, printer and proprietor. No number has been omitted sine th start In 1871. Office, 646 Thir- teenth street. Subscription, i6 cents per years In advance. Address Clemle Chase, Drawer 1, Oman. Neb." The paper' la printed with blue Ink for th .type and red horizontal and vertical rules, demonstrating the patriotism of the then youthful editor. I thought this might be of Interest, as th Excelsior is still regu larly Issued and the present editor and one of our foremost citizens and churchmen has long sine abandoned th youthful nam of "Clemle'' for the more dignified one of Clement Chase. Both of th above mentioned papets are quit interesting tothe writer, and I am glad to be th possessor of them. FRANK B. RODEFER. r a I riua and III Enaployea. OMAHA, Nab., Feb. To the Editor of The Bee: Permit nie. through the col umn of your papr, tu answer the so called pre committee of the newly sprung up union, that th public may se, even from their own stat men t. that th strik was not caused on account of wages. - Our' payroll books are open to th jrubth and I wish again id stat that w paid tb IBoilers praise.

From their own statements, they went out on strik to compel us to recognize their so-called union and to reinstate a few operators that we had no use for; and who knows what next they would have demanded had they found us willing victims and acceded to their demands. And I wish further to state that the strikers are composed of an element that we wish to weed out from our factory for ever. For to most of them striking is their trade and trouble making the means of their livelihood. They never stay in one place, a I have stated before, but shift from place to place and bring their radical Idea wherever they go. We do not want any of them back again, and we wish th public to judga whether It la right or even lawful of them to fore themselves upon tia and to compel us to take them back again to work when we are securing peaceful and law-abiding citi zen to take their places.
