dition While in San Antonio.
DIR. Dabney Berry, Of this city, is
in receipt OF letter from Bayard
Gray, son of the late Isaac p. Gray,
late minister OF Mexico, from the
City Of Mexico, ipquiring as to his
fathers condition while in San An
tonic and il he made any state
ment while here.
The late minister to Mexico ar.
rived in San Antonio last Feb
ruary 18th over the Information
al and Great Northern from
Chicago en- route to the City OF
Mexico. He had contracted
severe cold in Chicago, which was
rapidly developing into pneu-
monia. DR.. Berrey treated him
while here and the train was held
to allow a prescription to be filled
here. The doctor advised him, and
even insisted upon his staying in
San Antonio until his health i'm
proved and told him that the
climate OF Mexico would not bene.
fit him by any means. But Min.
lister Gray said he had some official
business to attend to and his
presence was urgently required in
the Mexican capital.
He arrived at the City Of Mexico
February II, unconscious, and had
to be taken to the hospital, where
he died a short while after.
Bayard Gray is located in the
City Of Mexico, where he acted as
private secretary for his father, and
at present occupies similar posi-
ton to his successor.

There is no question but that the
wealthy insurance companies are
making war against the fraternal So
cieties. The latter is a principle Of
cooperation that is sapping their
business. A decision recently rem
dered by the Iowa Supreme court
compels them to make deposits of
securities with the state and subject
themselves to the regular examina.
ton. The attorney general has held
that the decision is general, apply
ing to all fraternal companies alike,
and the state auditor announces that
he will give them ninety days to
make the proper showing or discon-
tinue business. There are large
number Of companies in the state
and it is said that all or nearly all of
them will be driven out Of business
by the enforcement of this rule.

worth Herald, Methodist young
peoples organ, the current issue:
"The Methodist Episcopal church
can get along without the minister
who siiences his conscience and bri.
dies his tongue for the sake Of being
popular with the DEVILS crowd"
That may be true Of the church at
large but the VOICE has heard Of
some people who require just tina,
sort Of preacher.
"Politics has a German vote and an
Italian vote and an Irish vote and a
brewer vote, a saloon vote. Is II not

The 6Ountu'S Slo.905.73.

Reference is made elsewhere to
the status Of the county's deposit in
the defunct First National Bank and
the liability of the Fidelity and De.
post Co., of Baltimore, who were
the sureties on the banks bond.
As intimated in an editorial in the
VOICE October Slst, it seems that
the company proposes to fortify it.
self behind technicality and per-
haps give the county legal contest
in court. They raise the point that
they are bound only "for all moneys
which may now be in possession Of
said bank, or may hereafter come
into possession Of said bank belong
ing to said county," as demon
mated in the bond, and intimate
that perhaps only small amount Of
the Sl9,905.73 which the county
had on deposit when the bank
failed may have been in the posses
sion Of said bank when i; failed, sug-
costing further that if the defalca.
ton occurred previous to the time
when this bond was given, the pre-
ceding bond would be liable.
The VOICE does not pretend to
know whether this plea will hold
good in law or not, but it bears out
the suggestions made In the editorial
referred to, viz: that dealing with a
big foreign corporation is always
fraught with more or less danger,
and that if they choose they can
play bluff and force compromise,
even at the risk Of using a little
Doodle.
In view OF the turn affairs have
taken the following endorsement Of
the policy pursued by the board,
published by the Monitor-Press
October Slst, will provoke the risi-
bilities of the most ssrene:
There isn't any lsbored defense nee
essary for the action of the county
board last July in allowing The First
National to continne as a county de-
pOsitory. The county had fully CO.

We hope you will excuse US for

amount due US on subscription to

aged to get along without it, but it

are needing it very much. Can
not each one spare US a dollar or
two just to oil things up a littlea
We assure you it will be appreciated.
ALI the amounts are small, but they
aggregate a good deal. Suppose
you had your grain sold out all over
the county in one and two dollar
lotsa Your pocket book would
be lame would it notl That is
the same condition we are in.
We can't see all Of you personally
and dislike to send you a request
by mail. Won't you step into the
postofice and get postal order the
first time you are in town and mail
it to usl We will see that you get
proper credit for it. By the way,
you will notice the date to which
you are paid opposite your name on
the margin Of your paper. Take a
squint at it and see how much you
owe US. By figuring it at $l.OO per
year you can tell exactly. Don't
