LIFE PENSIONS TO vALKYRIE MEN


New York. Sent f0-Lord Dunraven has
offered a pension OF % shiliings weekly
20 every member OF the crew of the VAL
kyrie should they succeed in winning the
Americas cup. In an address 70 the SAIL
ors and their commander he said: Nv bile
I feel satisfied that every man VIII do his
DUTY. / am anxious 10 encourage you 10
exert your services 10 the utmost 10 win
the remaining races OF the series. With
that end in view l desire TO say that II
the cup gees back 10 England by reason
OF your seamanship I will pension every
man for life and pay each OF you 30 shll-
lings a week so long aseach OF you ives.
Actuated by a common impulse the
crew broke out into cheers. Lord Dun
raven again impressed them with his am
bition TO snatch victory from what then
appeared almost certain defeat, and then
retired. The men afterward held an IN
formal meeting and discussed the offer.
Although they declined to talk. IL was
clear from their manner that they had
entered intosa compact TO strain every
nerve TO win.
Dunravens action is without precedent
considered by itself or from the stand
point OF generosity. IL is the ambition
OF his life to place in the hands of his
queen the trophy that passed out of the
possession OF England nearly half CEN
tury ago. The ages OF the twentysix
members of the crew will average 80
years. They are all sTrong and healthy,
and their expectation for life may be set
at 70 years. In that time, if the VAL
kyrie wins. they will each have received
E3.l2e sterling, or s15600. and in the ag-
gregate &s2, 100 or s4l0s 500. That the crew
appreciated Lord Dunraven's inducement
was shown by their work in today's race.

EXCITEMENT IN LONDON.
Tnbounded ENTHUSIASM Over the Vic
tory of the British Yacht.

London, Sept. 10.-The excitement In
London tonight over the international
yacht race of Sandy Hook is greater
than that which prevailed Satur-
day night. Bulletins posted in various
public places this evening attracted great
crowds. and at the clubs the interest man
ifested was most intense. AS the cable
messages were received announcing the
approach of the yachts to the finish
close together that the result might he
either one way or the other. the crowds
became fairly wild with excitement. and
when finally IL was announced that the
Nalkyrie had crossed the line victor. the
enthusiasm of the waiting multitudes
knew no hounds. The fact that the race
was sailed by the Defender under pro-
test afforded room for some remarks, but
the general opinion seemed TO be that no
injustice would be done the British boat.

Montreal. Sept. 10.-Thousands of people
yelled themselves hoarse in Sturgis street
IN front OF the newspaper offices as soon as
the final result of the yacht race was an
nounced. For some minutes when the re-
suit was in doubt the crowd groaned, but
when the official notice was published it
went wild. The Star issued Valkyrie
badges, and so great was the rush that the
crowd all but wrecked the business office.
Union Jacks were carried everywhere, and
the whole town is in fever of excitement

A HustIIng insurance Agent.

G. G. VOORHEES, has just returned
from st. Louis, where he WAS called
by his company, The Equitable Life,
to arrange matters for 1905. On ao-
count of the very satisfactory II
In W hlch he has conducted their busi-
ness In his territory, he has been given
the position of District General Agent.
We know OF no one who ls more enti-
tied to the position than Neal, for his
ability and success as an insurance
man is certainly more than ordinary.
Notwithstanding the fact he has been
in poor health during the entire year
and unable to work regularly, he ste
ceeded In writing for his company
more business in Audrain County than
they received from any other county
in the State. He also wrote in the
same county more business than all
other insurance companies combined.
This Is certainly a record worthy of
praise. The Equitable Life is one of
the largest and strongest financial in
situations in the world and stands at
the head of life insurance companies.
Its policy holders not only have safe
insurance in the event OF death, but
an investment which returns 70 them
after a given number Of years all pre-
miums paid together with interest.
One of the greatest beauties of this
class of insurance is that the best and
most satisfactory settlements are paid
to it's policy holders without the un-
pleasantness cfdying. Over two hun
dred of AudraiDC ounty's leading busi-
ness men hold policies In The Equita-
BILE Life, which is certainly the best
recommendation the agent could have.

story became public that "a ballots
cast for the Democratic Congression-
al and State ticket had not been
counted. The report gained wide,
spread circulation, and the Demo
ocratic newspapers commended that
the errors in this county, together
with those in other counties in the
district, would more than overcome
the small majority for Hubbard.
The official count in this county
gave Charles F. Williams, the Re
publican candidate for Sheriff, 1;
majority, and a certificate was is
sued to him. Samuel Stone, tn,
Democratic candidate, instituted {
contest, and, upon a recount, wal
declared elected by 35 majority. L
