about Thomas Linn.

Thomas Linn, editor of the. Wyn-
newood, I. T.. Republic, died at mis-
home in Wynnewood last Saturday
after long illness, during which he
was rarely able to work. Mr.. Linn
was an old time printer, having lived
in Denison for a number of years.
aud worked here on newspapers in
the capacity of compositor. He To-
Gated in Wynnewood some three
years ago and established the Re-
public, which he conducted up until
the time of his sickness. Recently
his Office, including the entire plant
ana equipment for publishing a
newspaper, was destroyed by fire,
and there was not a cent of insnr-
ance on the property. 1t is probable
that this misfortune fastened his
death.
Mrs Linn is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. FL. Campbell, of this city, and
a woman brave enough to continue
the publication of her late husband s
paper. The good people of Wynne-
wood. sincerely sympathizing with
Mrs. Linn and appreciating her abil-
lty to conduct the affairs of a news
paper, raised $500 with which to. buy
a small newspaper outfit with which
to resume the publication of the Re-
public. She will purchase a new
plant ae once and resume the work
of building up newspaper business

Five Good Reasons why You shsuid
Not Lapse.

Five Good Reasons why You shsuid
First-The same arguments that
caused you to take out yonr certifl-
cate still obtain, but with additional
force since you are older.
Second-Should you lapse now,
you will have to pay higher rate,
and if you wish other protection in
the future it will cost you more.
Thlrd-Should you give up your
protection now, you may not be
able to renew it at another time.
You may unconsciously have de-
veIoped some disease which will
prohibit you from being accepted
as a good risk.
Fourth-The minute you become
unprotected, if you have the proper
regard for your family, you must
become anxious as to their future,
and this will unfit you for some OF
your duties
Fifth-If you drop your protect
ion you may die before you think
you can carry some other or before
renewing. There are many cases
on record where a man has died
within few weeks after dropping
his life contract, and left his family
without any visible means of sup
port. The very fact that you are
poor is an additional reason for you
to leave no stone unturned to pay
an assessment.-Kentucky Work

The aim of the Beneficial Com
mission when it recommended clas'
sified assessments with n maximum
of twelve assessments per annum
was to reduce the number of asses
ment in each Jurisdiction to twelve
or less as each adopted the plan. 1t
was found Jurisdiction could not
grow and prosper with twenty or
more level assessments. The last
two years a number of Jurisdictions
have demonstrated that they can
grow and prosper and raise the
equivalent of from 80 to 36 level
assessments when collected in
twelve classified assessments. The
Jurisdictions are only required to
collect seven or eight classified as
sessments are beating all former

Judging from the growth of the
various beneficiary Orders, the
value of fraternal protection is being
more keenly appreciated every
where. 1t is becoming to be recOg-
nized that by no easier methods can
a man of moderate means leave an
estate of value. He realizes his
family must not be left dependent
upon the charities of his neighbors
and consequently the suggestion of
a scheme by which this may be
avoided interests him at once, with
the result that he affiliates with
some beneficiary Order. With the
increasing membership comes the
inquiry: "Is the Order built upon
lines calculated 10 insure perpe-
tuity?" Naturally raise in rates
follows and one by one the great
Orders, the Leaders, have adopted
plans that insure permanency.
Every Order that has bravely faced
the issue is to be praised for its
noble stand and although it's mem
bership at first condemned the act
ion, they soon realized it was for
the best, and are now working hard
to build up the Order.
This has been the case with every
one and the Royal Arcanum the
latest to make change, is again
making gains while the suspensions
have dropped to the old normal rate.
The downfall of one of the great
leaders would mean literally, the
breaking up of all Orders. Being
universally known and recognized
as the leaders, the failure would be
so disastrous as to put serious
feeling of unrest in the mind oi
every membe of any fraternals and
the result can easily be imagined
Therefore let every member re-
member that change Of plan IS not
selfish movement on the part OF a
few, but simply the result Of a de-
sire to make the organization secure
and permanent.-Hoosier Workman

The Wilkes Barre News has an in
teresting article on the Lackawanna,
from which we quote:
"Talk about railroading,, +" said a
shrewd d. L. &. W. railroader, who
seldom talks shop to those who enjoy
his acquaintance, ''let me call your
attention to a feature of the present
situation on this road under its pres
ent managers. You recall the recent
adjustment between the management
and their train hands, whereby the
men received a tremendous advance
in their pay? Well, almost everybody
wondered how the company could
afford to increase expenses by over a
quarter of million dollars a year in
the running of trains, and to tell you
the truth, wondered myself until |
got making comparisons. For in
stance Halstead, or Great Bend, was
formerly a division headquarters, and
a large round house and shops were
located there, as were the homes of
many railroaders. But it is division
headquarters no longer and the round
house and shops are empty and will
soon be removed altogether. Why?
Well, because trainmen must run
away beyond that point now and
cover more miles than they did be-
fore; the engineer get more for his
time than he did before, but he more
than earns the increase he receives, so
you see there is gain there instead
of loss to the company.
Then there were special rates to
favored companies around Scranton
There were ice companies, milk ship
ping companies and others, all doing
a splendid business, but not paying
the same rates that similar companies
paid on other roads. There is an end
to that, and now everybody pays the
same rate for freight carrying. F"
There were no Sunday trains for
merly, the present management be-
lieves that the Sabbath was made for
man, if they believe anything, and
certain it is that they believe that it
was made for the D., L. & W. rail
way, for they are running Sunday
trains for excursions into the cities,
from the towns and from the cities to
any old place that any body is pleased
to think they should like to visit
There is big money in that-more
than in the regular passenger traffic
There is now Sunday paper train
that earns the biggest kind of money.
Hearst, of the Journal, made the deal
and the Herald, World and Tribune
came in on the play. The old manage
ment did not think it would pay them
nor could they make the time, but
Conductor William Bailey took the
train through humming within the
limit for the new management, and
the result of all this is that there is
over million dollar increase in the
business done so far this year. That
simply goes to show that there is still
room at the top, as the college men
put it, and the top is a mighty limited
space as see it. -

young in years as cabinet ministers go,
Mr.. Balfour may now almost be reck-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

William Armstrong died recently at
Ashland, Cass county, Ills. His claim
to fame lies in the fact that in 1858
Abraham Lincoln defended him on a
charge of murder and secured his ac-
quittal. Lincoln took the case without
fee and to discharge a debt of graft
tude. This was the case which Lin
coin won with an almanac. He discred-
tied the testimony of the chief witness,
who swore that he saw Armstrong do
the deed by the bright light of the
moon. Lincoln showed by the almanac
that the moon was not shining at the
time.
