Policy Holders of the Farmers Mutu-
al Insurance Co. hold Mass
Meeting.

Last Saturday afternoon about one
hundred farmers, policy holders IN the
above company, met at the Court House
in this city for the purpose OF review
ing the company and its methods OF
business, which were not clearly under
stood and therefore unsatisfactory.
Hon. \. L Collins, of Saline county,
presided over the meeting, and l.. M.
Crawford. of this city, acted as Secre-
tary.
There was a great deal Of feeling on
the part of the policy holders against
the conduct of the company and espe-
cially against its secretary, Mr.. Morton.
Omen charges of fraud and corruption
were made, and the meeting became at
times very turbulent and excited.
An intelligent Swede, from McPher-
son county, was present as the repre-
sentative of seventy policy holders; Mr..
Collins represented sixty policy holders
of Saline county, and some forty policy
holders of this county were represented
by proxies.
There has been growing feeling of
discomfort and mistruSt on the part OF
the policy holders for some time, and
the mass meeting Oh Saturday was but
an expression of that feeling. There
were some who wanted to take legal
action to dissolve the company, while
all were unanimous in desire to have
an expert investigation of affairs.
Mr.. McClaren, a former agent of the
company. made direct and specific
charges of fraud and dishonesty on the
part of the company and especially on
the part of the secretary. He consumed
something over two hours in making
his charges, and when Mr.. Burton, as
attorney for the company, attempted tC
reply. it was plainly noticeable that the
sentiment of the crowd was against
him. There were continued calls fol
| Morton and the officers of the company
and Messrs. Morton, BOnebrake and
Lebold assured the policy holders that
the charges of McClaren were false In
every particular, and that the books
were open to the most thorough inSpec'
ton. In answer tOquestiOns, Mr.. Bone
brake said that s. 900 worth of the COM
pany's paper was under protest, ant
that all persons who, ON the I'd day Of
July. owed two or more assessments
would be sued.
The temper of the meeting was 81
pronounced that the company's officer
labored against great disadvantage
But in justice to the farmers, we may
add that a motion to draw up resolu
tons was defeated, and instead an ex
pert committee of investigation, consist
ing of three gentlemen, viz. Mr.. Col
Inns, of Saline, Mr.. VanDoren, o
Dickinson, and Swede, of Mcpherson
was appointed, and the books and bust
ness of the company will be thorough.

The most cnmfnrtahle amid acnnnmi-

The most comfortable and ecOnomi-
cal thing for the frugal housewife, du-
ring the heated term, is the gasoline
cook stove found at Berry Bros. store.
The cooking is done with comfort, ease,
without heating the house, without
sweating and worry, at nominal cost
and with perfect safety. In fact the
stove lis thing of beauty and joy for
ever" There are number of ladies
in our city useing the gasoline stoves
and they would not be without them
for any reasonable consideration.

merits of the situation. The Farmers

officers seem to foreshadow that result,
