Altgell Shut Out

Springfield, Ills. Jan. ia sensa-
tional scene marked the retirement of
Governor John p. Altgeld. When Alt
geid's successor Governor John r. Tan
ner. had spoken an effort was made by
State Senator Mahoney of Chicago to get
the floor, but the speaker refused to
recognize him. He wanted to make a
motion that the joint assembly extend
the courtesy of the floor to the retiring
governor. While he was trying to get
in this motion Representative Needles
moved that the joint assembly dissolve.
1t prevailed, and the house then ad-
tourned until today. Governor Altgeld
had expected to make a short speech.
and his name was put on the program by
the committee on arrangements. Some
of the Republican members were op-
posd to letting him talk. and it was
arranged with the speaker before the
house met that he would not recognize
any Democrats during the joint session.
In this way Governor Altgeld was shut
out. 1t has been customary in the past
to recognize the retiring governor at the
Inauguration ceremonies. No reason
was given for the snubbing of ex-Gov-
ernor Altgeld

McKlNLEY'S Big LIFE INSURANCE.
Takes Out Policy for $50, Besieged in
Canton by Anxious Agents.

Chicago, Jan. 12-President- ELECT
Mckinley will begin his term with $780,
600 life insurance. The policy is made
out and paid for. To keep up this in
surance for one of his age will cost
about as much as the salary of men,
Der of Congress.
After his nomination Mr.. Mckinley
determined to take Outa policy in some
good company, and indiscreetly men,
toned the fact to some Of his friends.
Within a month every life insurance
company in the United States that had
any hope of getting even an audience
with the President elect or any of his
friends had sent one of its best men to
Canton to camp out for the rest of the
summer.
During the summer and far into the
autumn the agents stayed on. Once in
a while one of them had a chance to
cet in word. but the major gave him
little satisfaction.
Finally the agent who had written
up Mark Hanna came from Cleveland
md captured the prize. He worked for
the company that paid big policies
after President Garfield died. and
again after the death of President
Arthur. Twenty-four hours later 20
suits of rooms in the best hotel in Can
ton We're empty. while one lone but
happy agent stayed over a few days
to celebrate.
