INSURANCE MEN CONVENE.
Annual Meeting of Representatives of
Mutual Concerns-New Law Dis
cusSed.

Representative of mutual insurance
companies operating in Southern and
Central Wisconsin were in evidence
all day yesterday at the New CONNER
cial hotel, the occasion being the an
nual meeting of the organization
known as the City, Village and Town
Mutual Underwriters association of
Wisconsin. Following were those in
attendance and the companies they
represent: w. L. Arven, Artisans
Union, Milwaukee; August KEELING,
Badger, Milwaukee; E. w. Delaney,
City Mutual, Oconomowoc; w. G. Sac
mann, City Mutual, Plymouth; H. c..

Theresa; G. F. Leins, West Bend; L.
Abraham, Grant County Fire, Bloom
ington; 6. H. Hastings, City Mutual,
Watertown.
Aside from the election of officers,
the delegates were chiefly occupied in
considering the general outline of a
new insurance law reported by the
committee on legislation appointed at
the meeting Of the organization in
Milwaukee last December. This COM
mittee is composed of Messrs. Leins,
Delaney, Hastings, Schroeder, Karow
and Merrick. 1t is intended to pre-
sent the new law to the next legisla-
ture for enactment. Its main intent
is to Obviate or obliterate those feat
ures of the present insurance law that
are considered to be inconsistent with
the operations of mutual organiza-
tions, as based upon practical expert
ence. No definite action was taken
yesterday on adopting the proposed
draft of the law, the intention being
to hold the matter open until the con-
vening of the legislature, so that
changes may be made from time to
time and legal authority consulted.
The following officers were elected:
President, Z. W. Delaney; vice presi-
dents, G. f. Leins and Nathan Haessly
secretary and treasurer, G. H. Hast
ings; directors, H. A Wrucke, A.

Move! Musical Entertainment at the
Concordia Opera House, Fri
day, February IS, 1908.

Those who attended the opening
concert of the COncordia society on
January 1 are looking forward to the
coming event with anticipations of
very enjoyable evening. The next en-
tertainment, February 18, will be an
entire novelty in our city, as every
number on the program, which is to
be published in our next issue, will be
OF a comical, mirth-prOvOking charac-
ter. Comic scenes in song and dia-
logue will alternate with beautiful
tableaux, grouped according to famous
figure paintings, thus lending variety
to the evenings performance. As all
the vocal numbers will be rendered
In costume and require good deal of
acting, the affair will partake of the
nature of a ''cOmic opera production"
Many of our most prominent young
ladies and gentlemen Will appear in
the tableaux, and the vocal numbers
are In the hands of some of Water
towns best singers, whom we learn to
appreciate more and more at each
opportunity we have of listening to
them. We can, indeed, be proud of
our local talent to whom we are in
debted for many an elevating and re-
fined musical treat. The influence for
good OF such amusements as the last
concert and the coming entertain
ment should not be underestimated.
We predict that our citizens will turn
out In great numbers to enjoy the per-
formance and to prove once more, as
they have often done before, that
they appreciate that which is truly
good whether it comes from afar or is
home product. That there is a good
time ahead, the program, which will
appear next week, will show.
