banka are In a he-ilthjr condition, however,
a new bank which 'opened In that city only

The Order of the Kaglra.
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.

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

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

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

awakened me. It had been only a dream

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.

highest wages of any factory. 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

The latest repor' in railroad circle I
that the Northwestern will extend it
Casper line Into the Routt county coal
fields of Colorado, and is now surveying
for a line from Casper to Walcott, where
It will connect with the Saratoga & En
campment road, a line forty-four milea
long, recently completed by the Pann Wyo
omlng Copper company.
A contract ha been let by the Saratoga
& Encampment company for 'another
twenty-five mile of track,, which will take
it to Whiskey Park, Wyo., near the Colo
rado line. From there but forty mile will
be required to tak th line to Steamboat
Springs, the metropolis of Routt county.
It ia rumored that th Northwestern ha
already gobbled th Encampment road and
1 building th extension through th En
campment road.
Th Northwestern hauls its coal from th
Illinois fields, and from there to Wyoming
I a long haul, up hill most of the way. The
