DISTINCTIONS TOO VAGUE.
Why an Insurance Man Objects to
Senate File No. 42S.
, the Editor of the GlOhe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Objections to assessment bill, Senate File
No. 428 substitute for S. F: 149)-First, the
bill makes the great mistake of not making
a clean cut distinction between the sections
governing life and those governing accident
business. Section of this bill provides that
every policy issued shall specify the amount
of the indemnity to be paid, which sum shall
not be larger than the amount of one assess
ment upon the entire membership. This
might not be q hardship. to life company
where every policy is supposed to become a
claim.f kept in force; while in an accident
company the death claim is a very remote
one, and in company doing only a preferred
business, might not happen for several years.
At any rate, at the end of each year, like
with the fire policy, the company and the
sured are square. The whole theory Of
sessment accident insurance is to allow the
amount not needed to pay losses to remain in
the pockets of the assured where it is more
safe than put up and invested in uncertain
stocks. The wisdom of this has been demon
strated over and over during these hard
times; hence the increasing demand for this
kind Of insurance. This Is only one Of the
objections to the many sections Of the bill.
To quote one Of the objections to the many
sections Of the bill. To quote from another:
The assessment insurance is essentially
the poor mans insurance; but for it the aver
age man would go uninsured. The interests
of assessment companies so Numerically
opposed to old line insurance that presume
assessment companies will never be free from
their opposition. What | object to is fore
ing the assessment companies which, con-
trary to the general belief, represent a very
much larger interest in this country than the
old liners. to train under their banners, or to
be forced to operate under laws they have
drawn which are calculated to disrupt assess
ment insurance. 1t has been the aim of the
managers of the old line companies-and their
influence has been almost irresistible, as they
are backed by endless wealth, literally hun
dreds of millions being behind them-to Sc
cure the appointment of insurance commits
soners throughout the country who would
be subservient to their interest, and thew have
usually been successful, although am free
to say that there are many noble exceptions"
There are $4,000 members of assessment
companies in this state; pthey are nearly ali
voters, and many Of them connected with So
cieties issuing assessment insurance that
would be injured by this fbill,1 and they do not
ask for, nor want this law, and neither po-
litical party can afford to force it upon them
simply to please the old, line companies.

From Piles.

Ohe IersOh III EVERY -FOUR SuHerS
From Piles.
About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is
itching piles, indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense, uncontrol-
liable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment9 has been some
simple ointment or salVR which some
times gives temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be eX-
pected from such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleed
ing or prOtruding. The first applica-
ton gives instant relief and the con-
tinued use for q short time causes a
permanent removal of the tumors or
the small parasites which cause the in
tense itching and discomfort of itching
piles. .....
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure was be-
cause it was supposed to contain CO.
caine, opium, or similar drugs, but
such is not the case A recent care
full analysis of the remedy showed it
to be absolutely free from any CO.
caine, opium, or in fact any poisonous,
injurious drugs whatever. Sold by

With better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical Ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-.
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,

FOOTBALL CLUBS JOIN.
Vim Take the Strongest Players for
Future Games.


The st. Paul Football club and the North
Star Football club held joint meeting at
the Windsor last evening to frame up a policy
for the coming season. The club is smarting
under repeated defeats administered by the
Minneapolis teams, and this spirit is expected
TO result in a better record this season.
1t thought WISE in order to save the
name of st. Paul from utter disgrace, to
combine all of the best players in the city
under one name. Heretofore the best clubs
have been the st. Paul and the North Star.
One or the other continually playing Min
neapois and getting beaten. Now it is pro-
posed to pick the best players from both clubs
whenever there is a contest on, and line up a
strong eleven against all corners. Consequently
II was decided to consolidate the two clubs
under the name of the st. Paul Football club
and to encourage vigorous campaign during
The season of 1897. The members of the North
Star club gracefully gave up their name in
order to perpetuate the name Of the st. Paul
club. Officers of the consolidated club were
elected follows: President, Norman Damn:
vice president, D. H. Mclean; captain W. D.
Stewart; vice captain, Herbert Spur; secre-
tary and treasurer c. A. Stewart; committee
on teams Messrs. Ivey, Hart and Holder
