THE
ADVANTAGE
OF HAVING
Main. I.s-'s..I...s Law ?S.y
IN THE
Union Mutual Life Ils. Co.
OF Maine.

In 1864 and 1861 Capt. Charles l.. Gardiner of Chel-
sea Mass, insured in the non Mutual Life Insurance
Company of Maine, for $1,000, ON two ordinary Life
Policies, payable at death provided the premiums
were paid annually, dccordihg 10 the terms Of the
contract.
On the "a day ofJuy, ls77, Capt. Gardiner had his
policies changed to the form used by the Compa-
ny, which gives the benefit of the Maine Non.forei-
ture Law.
ON the llth day of September, 1877, he sailed from
Boston ~ master of the good ship "iccland" on
voyage To Calcutta The ship and all on board were
lost at sea. The premiums due July ~ s77, and Au.
gust 3 ss7, not paid, and by the terms of the
original policies this would have worked forfeiture
of tie entire insurance: but under the policies
which had been gratuitously offered by the company,
the surance would have been continued in force
than three years, or until November leS0 noiwth-
standing the non-pa, lnent of the premiums due in
ls.5 and the fact of the death being established to
the satisfaction of the company, the full amount of
the policies paid the 29th day of October 1873

What's the Matter with the Turnpike {?
ENIPoRIA, Ks, May 2, 1879.

EMPoRIA, KS, May 2, 1879.
EDITORS NEWS Having always felt
an interest in having good road across
the Cottonwood bottom south of town,
also feeling proud of what has already
been done, and of the prospect of having
the turnpike soon completed, being that
the money had already been subscribed,
without which no improvement can be
successfully carried ON and that the con-
tract had been taken to macadamize the
road, we would like to know why the
work is not pushed on more rapidly
whether the directors of said turnpike or
the contractors are the tardy ones. Is
there no time specified when it shall be
completed or are the contractors allow
ed an unlimited length of time, by which
they are enabled TO work on the road be-
tween times when not crowded on the
sake of the road, and all those interested,
that the directors should look into the
matter and have the contractors employ
more force? If bad weather should set
in the road would soon be impossible,
and what little work is now done would
be worse than useless, and money and
work would be thrown away. Let us
have the money and work subscribed fol-
the purpose put into immediate use Sc
the public shall derive some serviceable
benefit and not to have the scene Of last
Friday repeated, of seeing teams stuck
In the road while the funeral procession
was on its way to the Dry creek GENE
terry, which was very annoying, almost
blocking up the road, and many were
nearly crowded into the ditch by trying
to pass by. Again, urge let the work
be pushed on. ] am one out of many
who feel vexed at the slowness of the
work. At the present rate, when only
about ten rods in the tune of four months
have been laid, it viii take about six oil
seven years to have the work finished
By that time it will be necessary to have
the work done over-commencing at the
other end. A FARMER.
