Members of Endowment Association
Receive Disquieting News.
Some nt the members of the Odd
Fellows Kndowment association In this
city received typewritten documents
yesterday, which have caused them
great anxiety. The association has Us
hindquarters at Allegheny, To. Ono
of the members In this city received
tho following letter, with tho request
that his nnmo bo not made public:
"Pittsburg. Pa.. Jan. 25, 1901.
"Dear Sir: The Fidelity Mutual Llfo
Insurance company of Philadelphia
has been asked and ha3 agreed to ro
InEure all the Insurnble members of
the Odd Fellows' Endowment associa
tion, which, ns you are aware, by voto
of Its members, resolved Jan. 16, 1901,
to discontinue business and settle up
ifs affairs.
"Special terms will be proposed, nnd
ns the matter hi of sulllclent Import
biico for you to give It personal con
federation and uttontlon, we would ba
pleased to have you call at our oirice,
N'o. 341 Fourth avenue. Plttslmrc. ph..
If convenient for you to do 60, nnd If
not nil up the enclosed blank nnd re
turn It In tho nddressed envelope en
closed, when the matter will bo given
prompt attention.
"We nro prepared to offer you an.
exceptionally good contract In one of
tho best and most substantial llfo com
tonics In the country.
"Yours truly,
"Townley & Davis."
The citizen of Carbondale who re
vived the above letter has belonged
to the Odd Fellows' Endowment asso
ciation for tho past twenty years and
has paid In on an average of $35 a
year. On Jan. 12 of this year ho was
assessed $10 for ten death benefits,
with tho request that he forward It at
once, as the association was In strait
ened circumstances, and If tho mem
bers responded promptly a threatened
dissolution of tho society would be
averted. He did so, sending $10 on that
date.
According to the above letter the voto
of tho association was taken on Jan.
15 to transfer Its business to the Fi
delity Life oil Philadelphia. This citi
zen says he knew nothing of such ac
tion until this letter reached him yes
terday. There are fjovcral members of tho as
sociation In this city and many
throughout this section to whom the
nbovo news will come as a serious
blow, some of them having reached
an ago which disqualifies them from
being classed ns "Insurable" members,"
having belonged to the association for
many years.
A BAD MISTAKE.
Why a Canaan Street Man's Sunday
Rest Was Broken Up.
A good Joke was told yesterday on a
certain Canaan street man who hates
sparrows and Is always telling his
wife how they always drlvo away tho
beautiful robina and other songbirds.
Having a little leisure time on Sun
day morning he told his helpmate that
bo would feed the sparrows, and with
a chuckle ho mixed up a quart of
cornmcal with hot water and sprinkled
the mess generously with "rough on
rats." This ho laid out In a tempting
way and went back Into the house.to
await tho coming of the birds.
Something attracted his attention for
a short time, nnd then he took his seat
at a window with a smile to see the
effects of his liberality. But the smile
Immediately gave placo to a startles
and horrified look. Lo, arid behold!
his cherished pet dog was greedily
'devouring tho cornmeal while a flock
of sparrows wero twittering on tho
fence, watching the dog. With a
spring that overturned tho chair he
made for the door, grabbed the dos
and chased back Into tho house.
"Doy run for a stomach pump! Got
me a quart of hot lard! Girl, get n
veterinary surgeon! Oh, tho dog- will
die!" were a few of the breathless
remarks tho Canaan street man ut
tered In quick succession, while hid
wife and children, scared beyond "ho
power of speech, tried to do half a doz
en things at once, nnd the man launch
ed Into a tirade of the miserable spar
rows who had brought all this trouble
'upon him.
The dog Is still nllve, but ho didn't
foe-l well yesterday. He was a very
tslck "purp" for a tlmo, for he had to
wallow lard, tho whites of a dozen
tSSSiyW" aPd everything known to
overcome poison.
After the animal was, out of danger
the Canaan street man went out In
the yard and carefully scraped up
what was left of tho cornmeal, while
a shrill chorus of sparrows rose In
the air as if enjoying a hearty laugh.
Gone to Serve as a Juror.
Newsdealer William J. Roberts left
for Scranton yesterday to serve this
week as a Juror. He was accompanied
by his wife, and they will stuy with

Bacillus of Grip.
Magnified 10,000 times.
Perunn not only cures tho grip but prevents it.
Takon In tlmo thousands of lives will be saved In thl3 present epl-
Jemlc.
Every family should take the precaution to secure a supply of Pwru-
la ut once, for the retail and wholesale stock of the remedy may bo ex-
haunted by tho enormous demnnd for It. '
It Is wisdom to have Pcruna In the house even before tho grip attack
the household.
It has been ascertained by a. reporter that tho following peoplo of
national reputation have given publto endorsement and testimonials to
Peruna as a remedy for la grippe: ;
Congressman Howard, of Alabama, says: "I have takon Pcruna for
tho grip nnd recommend It as nn excellent remedy to nil fellow-suffer-
ors." '
Congressman White, of North Carolina says: "I find Peruna to bo an
excellent remedy for tho grip. I have used It In my family und they all
loin me In recommending It."
Miss Francis M. Anderson, of Washington, D. C, daughter of Judge
Anderson, of Virginia, says: "I wus taken very til with tho grip. I took 4
Peruna and was able to leave my bed In a week.
Mrs. IlnrrlRttc A. S. March, President of the Woman's Benevolent 4
Association, of Chicago, writes: "I ruffered with grip seven weeks. Noth- 4
lng helped me. Tried Pcruna and within threowecks I was fully rostored. 4
Shall never bo without It again." 4
At tho nppenrnnee of the first symptoms of grip people should stay 4
Indorse and tako Peruna In small doses (teaspoonful every hour) until 4
the symptoms dlsnppear. This will prevent a long, disastrous sickness 4
and perhaps fatal results. 4

most to meet tho urgent demand

grip but It prevents thoso dlsas-
trous after effects so characteristic
