WHAT DOES IT MEAN e?
The Meaning Of Insurance is to In
demnify for Something That is Lost
Are You Sure Your Company
Can DO This?

Is It not as essential to know
that the company promising this
indemnity is as sound and solvent
as a person signing a note or
other obligation?
A fire not only destroys your
property, but at the same time
throws you out of your home or
your business.
We never have lost company by
failure, in a business of twenty
years experience. Never had
company make an assessment.
Yet in past twenty years more
than half the companies allowed
to transact business in Maine
have failed or gone out of bust
ness. Companies are dropping
out nearly every month.
Is it not for your interest,
financially, to get the best, when
their rates are no higher than
the poorest?
Kindly ponder these inquiries,
and say If they are not good bust
ness sense. Then secure policy

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept IA
Judge Jesse Knight, of this judicial
district, who was requested by Cover
nor Richards to examine the reports
made by the commissioner of indian
affairs, with a view to bringing to
justice the Jackson's Hole settlers who
killed and wounded several Indians
during the month Of July, has replied
to the effect that information has been
given him of the names of officers
and accused parties, and that the dis
lance to the Jackson's Hole country
is so great that no officer cannot be
sent there and return in time for an
investigation at the present term of
court, which ends September 33.
The Judge .criticizes the Indian COM
missioner's report at length and as
sures the government that jhe people
of Uintah country are law apiding and
that all depredations will be punished
by the juries and the courts.

protested his innocence up to the last

suited for nomination. This resolution
was drafted by several prominent
Democratic lawyers yesterday and was
pushed during the afternoon. 1t met
with a great deal of disbursement,
however, and it was seen it would be
fought hard on the floor of the con-
yention. 1t will not be introduced I'M
less it is seen that it will carry
through. Therefore it is probable it
will be smothered. There is a strong
sentiment among the Democrats re-
garding the convention. They want to
give the Republicans conclusive proof
that they can go into convention and
select three good men without barter
ing shamelessly and obeying the die
tates of politicians. There is a strong
belief that the Democrats now have
an opportunity and that they Should
not allow the Republicans to crawl cut
