UNION MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company during the month Of October,
1893. wrote A LARGER AMOUNT OF
NEW BUSINESS THAN IN ANY COR
RESPONDING MONTH DURING THE
PAST TWENTY YEARS.
While the New Issues are so rapidly
increasing, it is equally worthy of note
that the Company's Death-rate shows
not only relative but an actual de-
cline; this factor so all.important in the
transaction of a Life Insurance Business
is of such a marked character, that a
few facts and figures in connection there
with are given.
The Notices of Death received by the
Company from January LIST to October
31st, 1898, amounts to $379,325 and when
compared with the corresponding period
of 1892 shows a very substantial de-
list Ten months 1892 $426,665
LIST Ten months 1898 379,325
Decrease, 8 1880
THE EXCELLENT SHOWING IN CON-
NECTION WITH THE DECREASED
DEATH RATE CANNOT BE FULLY
APPRECIATED WITHOUT A DUE
RECOGNITION OF THE FOLLOWING
FACTS

From which it will be seen that while
the Insurance in Force during the past
five years has increased Eight Millions
of Dollars, the Amount of the Death
Claims has been reduced, until at the
date OF this writing tits practically the
same as 1t was in 1888. nov11eodtf

the hand which he had held was exposed
to view. He had drawn iack-full on
red sevens. That was what had in
spired him to pull gun. There is
superstition among gamblers in the
West that he WHO sits in game and
draws in pat hand jack-full on red
sevens will never leave the game alive.
The nervous desperate had drawn this
fatal hand aud had immediately
reached for his revolver, feeling that a
crisis had come. His opponent had been
too quick for him and shot him dead"
THAT reminds me-" said Chicago
man, who had listened to the story,
''that knew of game in which
hand of this kind resulted fatally. One
night last summer in the city of Chicago
the police raided one of the numerous
gambling dens on the West side.
When the officers entered they found
the place crowded with men and boys
gathered around the gambling tables.
The greatest excitement and confusion
at once ensued. and many of those
present made desperate attempts TO
escape. A general rush was made for
the doors and windows. Of all those
around the tables one man remained
seated. He did not move even after
the officers had marshaled those under
arrest in readiness to take them to the
station. An officer touched the man
still sitting at the table, but he did not
move. A close inspection revealed the
fact that he was dead. He died of
heart disease as result of the fight.
In his hand he held five cards which he
had drawn. They were the jack of
clubs, jack of hearts, jack of spades,
and the seven of hearts and seven of
diamonds. He had held the dreaded
fatal hand. d"

CHANGES TALKED OF
In the Personnel of the Great
Northern Management.

In the Personnel of the Great
Northern Management.
The approaching meeting of the
stockholders of the Great Northern, as
usual. is giving rise to multitude of
rumors of changes in the official staff of
the company. One rumor has it that
fat position is likely to fall into the
hands of Sam Hill, son-in-law of the
president of the road. Just what the
position is to be no one who talks upon
the subject seems to know: but that he
is to have something good the gossips
feel quite sure. Another rumor has it
that General Manager Mohler is to be
elevated to second vice president OF the
road. the position being created espe-
cially for him, and that j. 7. Odell, of
the Baltimore & Ohio. will take the
general management. Some think that
Mr.. Mohler will be left where ne is, and
that Sam Hill will be made second vice
president, while others assert the belief
that Sam Hill will be made general
manager.
Little reliance should be placed upon
any OF these rumorS, except that there
will be some changes. A good deal of
reliance is placed upon the report that
Gen. Supt. Case Will be changed out;
but even this is quite as likely as any to
turn out groundIess. The officials
themselves decline to be interviewed
upon the subject, and just where the
gosSips get their reports it is difficult to
saw.

The latest portrait of President Cleve-
land is very graphic likeness. contain
ing, as it does, $4,000 words.
NJ. Diamond, of New York. has made
with his zen portrait of the president,
in frame, being backed by two Ameri-
can flags. Every line in the hair and
the clothing, the frame and the flags,
is in Mr.. Diamonds handwriting. 1t
takes glass to read it, so are the char
acters. The words written are extracts
from his own public speeches and
papers, including his 1884 letter of ac-
ceptance, his first inaugural address,
his 1887 message to congress, pension
veto his to the Parnell memorial meet
ing held IN New York In 1891, his adj
idress to Ann Arbor students in 1892,
and speech at Providence.
The president has the original pic
ture, which he regards as curiosity.
In letter to Mr.. Diamond he says: II
cannot understand how much can be
put in so small compass"
The size of this pen and ink drawing
is about Ia by 16 inches, the work
having been done without a glass.
The likeness to the president is remark
able, While based Sarony's latest
photograph, it is more lifelike than
most photographs.
In 1887 Mr.. Diamond wrote 3,70O words
on postal card.

FATAL POKER HAND,

The Player Who Draws a Jack
Full on Red Sevens Is a Doomed
Man.
Washington Letter to Chicago Herald.
One of our Western members of con-
gress, who has seen good deal of life
on the plains and in the mining camps,
tells an interesting story of game at
poker and a subsequent tragedy of
which he was an involuntary witness a
few years ago. 1t was in one of those
live mining towns in New Mexico.
Every thing was on the boom, and
gambling houses were in full blast, as
they are in all frontier towns.
II dropped in one day." he said, "just
to see how the boys were getting along.
A game of poker was in progress at
one of the tables, and it attracted me,a
there were two men in it whom knew
personally. They were both pretty
rough characters, and one of them was a
desperate who was feared from Texas
to Montana. lie was one of those quiet
fellows, of nervous temperament, who
said little at all times, but acted quickly
and desperately in a crisis. There
was a good-siZed jack pot on the table
and it was his opponents deal. The
carQS came out one at time and /

face under most extraordinary circum-
stances never changed, appeared to get
pale as he picked up his last two cards

something unusual in his manner, but
did not understand why he should
manifest such agitation when nobody
was creating the least diversion of any
sort. 1t was all clear to me atterward
His opponent, who was dealing, watched
him narrowly. AS the quiet man picked
up MS last card ne reached quickly to-
ward his belt as if to pull a revolver.
His motion was anticipated by his
opponent, who in flash drew from his
own belt revolver and commenced
firing acoss the table. At the second
shot the desperate fell forward across
the table, his life-blood ebbing from q

Big STOCKS OF WHEAT
WEIGHED DOWN PRICES FOR THAT
CEREAL.
CORN AND OATS WENT UP.
Increased Activity on the Stock
Exchange - Heavy Transac-
tions, but Nothing Healthy in
the Tone of the Market-The
Close Was Decidedly Heavy,
and the Final Sales Were Low.

CHICAGO. Oct 10.-The increasing
stocks of wheat exceeding expectations
weighed down prices today for that
cereal, while corn was advancing as
result of comparatively small receipts
and the big movement from here. Pro-
visions ruled strong for January and
weak for October delivery. At the
close wheat is 10 lower and corn 5Sc
higher. Oats gained about nc.
Wheat started &c lower, held steady
for while and later declined 1000
more, then was quiet and the closing
was about &c lower for December and
&c lower for May than the closing fig
ures Saturday. The receipts in the
Northwest were heavy, and the export
clearaDces light. The quantity of
wheat Eand flour on ocean pass
age decreased $4,000 bushels,
and the Eastern European and
Indian shipments were $4,000 bu
smaller than the preceding week. Cables
were easier, and generally lower. The
weather was fine, and the influences
generally were of an unfavorable tenor.
Operators did not manifest much in
clination to trade, evidently holding off
for the government crop report.
There was a good trade in corn. The
better tone was due largely to the de-
crease in local stocks last week and the
active cash demand. The market
opened at Saturdays closing prices. and
worked up full cent under good de-
mand. reacting &c later, rallied 4@asc,
changed some, ruled steady, and closed
with gain of 1000. There was con-
siderable uneasiness regarding the gov
eminent report.
Oats advanced 15c in sympathy with
corn. Later weak knees developed and
prices receded 492Sc, and closed steady
with net gain of 16@14c.
There was moderately active trade
In provisions for an hour or so after the
opening and at better than Saturdays
prices, owing to continued light receipts
of hogs. Later the business relapsed
into its preholiday dizziness.
There was some weakness in spot
products and for October delivery.
Prices at the close show some decline,
more especially for pork, which is Csc
lower, and for January is unchanged.
October lard is sc lower, and January
&c higher. Ribs are nc off for October
and 21ac higher for January.
Freights-There was fair demand
and rates steady at 214c for wheat and
&c for corn to Buffalo.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, $50 cars; corn, 425 cars; oats,
900 cars; hogs, 10000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
