Insurance and Pensions.

"Have you ever been a pensioner?"
is question that now appears on the
printed form OF frsO class insurance
companies among the questions to be
asked of applicants for insurance. The
purpose and the working Of this new
inquiry may be best illustrated by the
following incident related by the Bos-
ton Transcript, A well-to-do business
man, in good social standing and in
Aourishing health, applied recently at
the Office of a leading institution IN
Boston for additional life insurance
to the amount OF $4,000. The medical
examiner could find nothing whatever
in the condition OF the Subject un Ter
his hands to indicate the presence of
any disease, past or present, and sup
posed that his company had received
q promising new investor until the
inquiry, "Have you ever been pen
sioner?" was reached. At that point
the applicant stammered and admit
ted that he was at present drawing,
prosperous and healthy man that he
was, pension OF $12 month. The
medical examiner drew from him q
tangled series of admissions that he
had never really suffered and injury
or illness emitting him to pension,
but he had made out some sort Of a
case OF nervous shock or deterioration,
at the instigation of a pension agent,
and had taken his So month from
the United States Government, rich
man though he was, on the principle
that "they all do it" The company re-
fused the risk CT insuring a man who
had confessedly lied and sworn to his
falsehoods for the purpose Of securing
his pension. This test has so wide an
application that it now regularly APP

UNAKA AND NOLACHUCKY.
A Third Survey in Progress. The
n ROADS Prospects are Fair.

Bristol Courier There is a feeling
that the demand for the Unaka and
Nolachucky railroad, proposed to run
from Morristown TO Embreeville and
thence to connect with Johnson City,
is of so strong a nature that the road
will be built. Two surveying corps are
working from Morristown east, and
have already reached Philadelphia, a
point on the river sixteen miles below
Embreeville. The only thing that will
retard the construction Of this road, if
it is retarded, will be the closeness in
money matters. The people along the
route are apundantly willing, but it is
a question as to whether they can
raise sufficient money. The route is
practical, being for the most part along
the river. There is q rich section Of
country throughout the valley from
the river to tbs mountain. and the peo-
pie generally ae prosperous, but the
only means they have Of reaching the
market is by crossing the river in
wagons and driving many miles.

Midsummer Novelties in Ladies' Hats

Plain or elaborate, a toilette can
hardly become success without an
accompanying hat which will harmon
ize and add to it the indispensable fin
ishing touch. But the selection of the
latter is a problem OF considerable
study, for one must bear in mind the
circumstances for which costume is
intended and accordingly choose the
most appropriate head-gear. One must
also consult the possibilities OF ones
purse, and most important of ali, one
is compelled to remain meanwhile
within the proper boundaries OF the
latest styles. When we come to the
latter, however, what bewildering en-
barrassment of riches confront us! For

FIGURES ON PENSIONS.
Over Alive Thousand Pensioners Thus
Far Cut Or the Rolls.

The total number of pensioners un-
der the act of June 9th, 1890, who
have been notified since the incoming
of the present administration that the
payment of their pensions has been
suspended, is approximately $3.50.
The whole number of pensions grant
ed under this act is ascertained to be
$4,000: Of this number 10000 were
granted to widows, minors and depend
ent relatives, leaving 100000 to be in
vestigated. Up to this time about %
per cent of the number being paid to
soldiers themselves are being suspend
ed pending the receipt of satisfactory
proof of inability to perform manual
labor. If the same ratio is maintained
through the entire list, about $4,000
will have been suspended. 1t is stated
at the pension Office that none of these
cases is fraud chnrged, suspensions be.
ing based upon an error Of the pension
Office in misconstruing the law.

For the Third Time it Yields
to Hard Times.
NEW LIFE IN THE MANAGEMENT.
The Change Will Not Retard the
Building of Branches if Business
can be done.

The Northern Pacific is again in
trouble and has by the consent of
the directors passed into the hands
of the receivers. The application
for the appointment of a receiver
was made by one of the New York
Loan and Trust companies. Twen-
ty years ago the failure of Jay Cook
brought the N. P. into like situa-
ton and then ten years later the
Willard crash, and now for the
third time they are not able to
meet demands. Had not the hard
times come quite so soon in the
season it is probable the N. p.
would have been able to pull out
all right, as in a short time the
grain crops would have began to
move and then the income of the
road would have been very materi-
ally increased. The N. p. is one of
the best railroad companies in the
country and runs through coun-
try unsurpassed in fertility and re-
sources, which facts will keep the
road taxed to its full capacity in
hauling freights as soon as the
country is settled up.
The mammoth grants of land
which the N. z. received from the
government will when utilized be
source of revenue which will be
sufficient to keep the road in opera
ton should there be no traffic over
its line.
The appointment Of Mr.. Ken
drick as general manager will init
late a new system and new life into
the management and better things
may be looked for. The policy of
retrenchment has already com
menced and it is expected that
many high saleried Office will be
abolished and yet the efficiency of
the service not be impaired. The
polocy of retrenchment will not,
however prevent the building Of
branches where profitable business
can be secured.

STILL ANOTHER CHANGE,
Two Months the Limit Allowed
Station Agents Here.
TO CONSOLIDATE THE ROADS.
A ST. Paul Paper Says the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific
VIII Consolidate.
70 CONSOLIDATE THE ROADS.

1t seems to have become almost a
settled fact that two months is as
long time as an agent is allowed
to retain charge Of the Great North
ern station at this point. During
the past year six different agents
have tried their hand at the busi-
ness, the last Mr.. Chas. N. Peterson
of Seattle, having taken the local
affairs of the company into his
hands Friday morning. An agent
is allowed to become sufficiently
well acquainted with the business
men of this section to do business
with them in proper way and he
is hustled out and stranger put in
his place who knows nothing Of the
people or their business. This
method may meet with the APPROX
al of the officers of the road but it
is by no means satisfactory to the
people who furnish the road with
the business it gets from this point.
Railroad companies, are however
run in the interest of the stock
holders Tor supposed to be at
least) and not to please the people
who support them, hence they as
rulepay little attention to the opin-
ions or wishes ar heir. patrons in
such matters.
What causes have led to the nu-
merious changes in the office of the
company here, we are not prepared
to state but presume sufficient rea-
sons existed else the changes would
not have been made. Mr.. Peterson
has the reputation of being first
class station man and we have no
doubt will administer the affairs of
the Office with entire satisfaction to
both the company and those who
may have business with him. We
sincerely trust he will be permitted
to remain long enough to allow the
people to get acquainted with him.
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1893-08-19

would be one of the first improve
ments his keen business sagacity
would suggest. AS our readers are
aware a right of way for such a
branch has already been surveyed
between Bonner's Ferry and Koot-
enai, a distance of thirty-two miles.
The only reason this road has not
been built before is the deplorable
condition Of the country's finances.
Had Jim Hill controlled the North
ern Pacific instead of the Great
Northern the road would have been
completed long ago.
The direct benefit of this to Bon
ner's Ferry is very apparent. 1t
would expedite and cheaper freight
and add all the other advantages
of railroad center. With one set
of officials instead of two there
would be splendid chance of re-
ducing rates to this point. The
Northern Pacific traverses a coun-
try largely in need Of products pc
culiar to this valley, such as timber,
fruits, wheat, vegetables, etc, and
the market thus opened up would
be valuable stimulus to cultiva-
ton and settlement. While it
must be regretted that financial en-
barrasments forced the Northern
Pacific into the hands of receivers,
this town and vicinity are to be
congratulated upon the bright pros
poets that chance has occassioned. |
