About three years ago the mutual
accident boom began in this State
Since that boom began, thousands Of
dollars have been harvested by thos,
so-called insurance societies. Then
success in roping in victims has
brought into life other so-called in
surance companies or societies who
offer for a mere trife to insure against
sickness and all the ills to which
flesh is heir. These mutuals are
dropping out of sight as fast as the
directors can stow away their i'll
gotten gain, and when the victims ap-
ply for injuries received, are inform
ed that no assessments have been
made to meet such claims. This, with
one or two exceptions, has been the
record of these mutual associations,
at least in Alpena, to which many OF
the victims will certify. Don't be
longer deceived by mutual insurance,
but get policy in the Old Travellers
of Hartford, which has been in sue
cessful operation for years and has
cash assets of seven million dollars.
1903 accident claims, amounting to
$751; 900, were paid during 1882. If
you want something sure in case OF
accident or death, get policy in the
"Travelers."

Erskine, who died at Detroit last
week. Last fall Mr.. Erskine went
to Florida with the hope that the
climate there would prove of practi-

there until few days ago when he
started for Alpena, but was overtaken
by death before he reached home.
The body Of the deceased was brought
to town last Sunday by Sheriff Den
ton, and the funeral took place last
Monday afternoon. The services were
at the Congregational church, and
the deceased was buried with Masonic
honors, he having been a member of
that fraternity. Mr.. Erskine first
came to Alpena in 1856, and has been
actively engaged in the lumber bust
ness almost ever since. He had many
friends in this city and was greatly
esteemed by those who knew him.

All the sheds which were attached
to the Mason warehouse have been
torn down, and the workmen are bust
ly engaged in putting new timbers
under the building, which is to be
raised considerably higher than it is at
present. New spiles have been driven
for rebuilding the wharf, and the re-
suit will be a great Improvement.
The wharf and the foundation of the
warehouse were considerably decayed.
1t is to be regretted that the lower
part of the wharf had not been cut
off some, so as to do away with the
projection that sticks out in the river.
The Council has the matter already
under investigation.
