"CONGREGATION AGUDAS ACHIM was organized in Sept., 1897. It is a strictly orthodox congregation, minhag Poland. It has about thirty-five members and about 115 additional seat holders, who attend services during the holidays. They hold regular services twice daily and also on Friday evening and Saturday morning. Mr. Charles Brill acts as Hazan and Shochet, and is assisted by ' Julius Frankel and Max Oppenheim in services. The congregation purchased a church building, formerly occupied by one of the Christian churches, on Monso street, in this city, in September, 1897, for $3,000. They renovated and improved the same at a cost of $1.200. The building is all paid for except about $700, which they owe. The congregation is about to purchase the cemetery of the old Beth Israel congregation, which they now use.

The first officers of the congregation were: Julius Frankel, president; Max J. Cohen, vice-president; Abraham Jacobson, secretary; Jacob Conigisky,treasurer.

The present officers are: Nathan Friedman, president; P. Blumenthal, vice-president; Samuel Lanski, secretary; Marks Gumbiner, treasurer.

There are probably six or eight members of this congregation who are also members of Congregation Anshai Emeth.

In connectitn with Agudas Achim Congregation are two charity societies, one composed of the male members, known as the Home of Shelter, who attempt to take care of all the traveling poor who come to the city, giving night's lodging and meals to them temporarily. They also loan small sums of money, without interest, to some of their poor. Considering that they are themselves composed of the poorer classes, they are doing good work in that line, and are quite an assistant to the Peoria Hebrew Relief Association, which does the main Jewish Charities of the c'ty.

The officers of this society are: Julius Frankel, president; Nathan Friedman, secretary and treasurer. "
