WILL PROBABLY CLOSE THE HOUSE, After a Career of One Year th Fifty-Seven Members Decido to Quit the Field Im- mediately. "he Council Bluffs Theator company is no more. A meeting of the stockholders was held last evening at which it was decided to abandon the project of making Dohany's opera house fnto a paylng concern, and in all probability the house will go back into Mr. Dobany's hands at once, For some time past there has been cousiderable growling among the members account of the fact that monthly assessments of §10 ver member were called for. The company was organized noarly year ago with a mombership of fifty-seven, and tho shares of stock were fixed at 100 each, payablo whenever cailod for by the mauag ment. Tho troupes booked by tho old man- agoment were inferior almost without ex- ception, and consequently the company W at disadvantage until last Septemoer, when the new season opened and the com- panies of Manage ‘s pooking came to the front.

Secretary Jameson of the United States Masfonic Benevolent association, has just sent out the sixti and last sment for the year for death losses. This closes the year’s business so far as expense to the members is concerned, and leaves the associntion in a condition that i more than ordinarily interesting tothe members, the management and the public. It provides for the payment of the last death loss reported and leaves the company without a dollar of unpaid obli- cations. This is so much better than the condition of ordinary benevolent and assessments associations ns to at- tract public attention. Usually the last assessment pays the obligations of the companies to within 60 or 90 days of date, and when it is less than that it be- comes traordinary, but this breaks all provious records and leaves the \ sonic association of Council Bluffs with- out a peer in the whole world. There is nothing like it in the shape of insurance. With & membership of nearly 10,000 and not a death loss reported and unpaid, is without a parallel in the whole annals of life insurance. The whole record of 1801, now com- pleted, shows the same murvelous re- sult, ana piaces tho company at the head, not only as the largest st it association in existence with the lowe doath rate and the strongest inanciall but as giving the safest and cheapest in> surance to its members. The entire cost of a full guaranteed policy of $5,000 for the year was only $16. The wonderful growth of the guarantee fund during the year has swellod the grand total to up- wards of $140,000, which stands as w pledge for the payient of every assess- ment, This extraordinary result is due solely to the incomparable plan upon which the association is based and the confidence the members of the Masonic fraternity in its management and its character, [t is o matter of more than loeal pride that Council Bluffs should have the largest association of its ‘u(l in the world.

Mr. aud Mrs, Johnson started their mis sion iu this city a number of months ago in a vacaut room on Fourth strect not far from Broadway. Subsequently they moved to the room on Upper Broadway, where they have Leen over since, A few weeks ago the work- ing forco of the mission was inc sed hy the addltion of Johu Phillips, who is weil kuown in the city. Phillips took great deal of interest in the mission, and finall took so prominent a part in all the meetings that Mr. and Mrs. Johuson were to a certain extent frozen out. About two weeks learncd that Phillips stories derogatory to her character, and among other things had told a number of business men that she and Johnsou wero not veally marricd, and that ho had been quoting Mrs. Johinson hierself as the authority for the truth of these sto At first she paid 1o attention to them, buta few deys ago tho Johnsous were notitied by the owner of the builging where the meetings were held, that the house had been rented to other par and they would have to leave. Tho reason, as statea by the landlord, was that he did not caroto have peoble around who wero made the subject of so many remarks. M and Mrs. Jonuson thought it was timo the; wero doing something to keep up sheir repu: tation, and laid for Phillips accordingly. Yesterday afterzoon Phillips was notified that his presence was desived at the office of I P. Oflicer on North Main street. When he reached the place ho found himself con- trouted vy Mrs. Jobuson ana several other ladies, who were prepared to make him eat his own words. ile wanted to leave, but was told that uuless ho toed the mark and either owned that he had hod or proved that ne had tola the truth, the city marshal would be sent for to take him into cus- tody. He wisely concluded it was the best thing he could do to make a ciean breastof the whole thing, rather than be arrested. Tt is stated by an eye wit- ness o tho affaic that he admitted that he had snid what was not true, and_imploved the forgiveness of Mrs. Johnson, Mr. John son, in the meantime, was _standing outside the'door, waiting to render his wife any as- sistance that might be needed. = Mrs. John- son’s marriage certificate was then exhibited 10 tho audience, and read aloud, after which Philiips was allowed to depart in a very crestfatlen condition. It is sinco learned that Phillips himself nas reated the room formerly occupied by tho Johnsons, and has started a mission of his own, called the “Helping Hand.” The faith cure mission is shut up for the present, but will be opened in a short time.

I'rom com- plaiuts that have com to it, however, it ap- pears that many of the claimants do not un- derstand thoir position under the act. At a time when there appearced to be little chanc that congress would take up the claims or muke any appropriation to pay them, they signed contracts with the Washington agents, promising from one-quarter to one-half the amount to the agent in case the money should bo collected. [n view of this extortion con- gress insorted a provision in tho act annul- ling all_contracts and limiting tho agont's commission to 15 or 20 per cout. The claimants all probably understand that theagent's commission has been limited by the law, but many of them, according to their own statemonts, do not understand that they are freo to do as they please about employing the agent they had first chosen. They con- siger that they aro still bound to employ tho agent with whom they signed the exorbitaat Craivs, in deahing, A Cou THIS ELE w. 14 i hirty s ears used by the peoy 1l curo for th fes cure wi g the Ay ereign v A by Drug rat Flehly bound n ¢ HUMPHREYS' MEDIOINE 0O, Cor.

It was thie inzontion of congress to protect them at all points and they were leit on tho passaze of the act freo to” do as they pleased and employ whom they pleased. Section § of the act stated: *That all sales, transfers or assignraents of any such claims heretofore or hereafter made, except such as have occurred in the due fadministration of decedents’ es- tates, and all contracts heretofore mado for fees and allowances to_cluimants’ attorneys are hereny doclared voic. There could be no mistake about the mean- ing of this. All claimants had to make new coutracts with agents after the passage of the act, and they were ut_liborty to employ any uné they pleased. If thoy were pleased with the zeal and acts of their first avent thev might make their new contract with him. Ifthey wero dissatised thoy might chooso any other agent that they pléased. Those who have not signed new contracts since the passage of the nct may profit by this to securc much betier terms than they conld otherwise get from the agents. The fact that T Ber Brieav is doing the work for the baro expense involved has had a good effect in moderating the charges of all agonts to those who kunow how to protect them- selves.
