RATE OF INTEREST.

An item has been going tho rounds
of some of the Detroit papers relative
to the change in the rate of interest on
money by the legislature at its last
session, statiug that all notes would
draw only . per cent. interest after
due. The amended act reads as fol-
lows: Section /. The people of the
State OF Michigan enact, that the i'm
terest of money shall be at the rate of
five dollars upon one hundred dollars
for year and at the same rate for a
greater or less sum and for longer or
shorter time, except that in all cases it
shall be lawful for the parties to stipu-
late in writing for the payment of any
rate of interest, not exceeding seven
per cent. per annum. Provided, that
this act shall not apply to existing con-
tracts, whether the same be either due,
not due or part due. 1t took effect
Sept. %.

INSURANCE COMPANY QUITS.
The Preferred Bankers Life, of Detroit,
Goes out of business.

The trustees OF the Preferred Bank
ers' Life Insurance Company Of Detroit
have formally recommended that the
company cease business on the 3lst in
stant and go into voluntary liquida-
tion. This recommendation Is indors-
ed by Insurance Commissioners Stevens
as in the best interests of all concerned,
and he advises that the recommends
members, to be held in Detroit, Oc.
tober %. The reasons given by the
trustees for their action is that in order
To maintain its membership funds other
than those set apart for that purpose
by the rules of incorporation have al
ready been seriously encroached upon,
thus bringing down the criticism of in
surance commissioners OF several states
and the tendency of legislation to place
assessment companies under substanti-
ally the same regulations as legal re-
serve companies. The trustees submit
IA plan of liquidation which embodies
the pro rata distribution of the assets
among the members. The company
has 80 900 in assets and no outstand-
ing obligations.
There are a number of policy holders
in this city and vicinity who will be
affected by this result. The life of the
late George Divine was insured in this
company for So, 900, which was prompt
ly paid at his death. 1t is possible that
members may receive pro rata Of the
$22, 900 distribution, but not very prob
able.

Reed, one of the leading citizens and

struck his leg against cake OF ice in
such manner as to bruise 1t severely.
1t became very much swollen and pain
ed him so badly that he could not walk
without the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used sever
al kinds OF liniment and two and half
gallons OF whiskey in bathing 1t, but
nothing gave any relief until he began
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almost complete cure in a
