cancer. Everything was done for her
relief that could be done, but the dead
disease made steady progress, until the
morning of the 18th of this month,
when she passed peacefully away. She
! bore with fortitude her pain and dis
comfort and was ever thoughtful of
others daring her sickness. She was
buried from the Congregational church
on Friday, on September 20th, the pas
tor conducting the service. The church
was beautifully decorated with flowers,
and the choir sang appropriate hymns.
She was weary and heavy laden and the

McKinley's Estate.

A portion of the estate of the late president, William Mckinley, con
OF four policies with The New York Life Insurance Co. aggre-
MI Mckinley was a member of Congress, and in selecting The New
OK Lie Insurance Co. to carry the bulk of his insurance the late
exhibited the same judgement nnd forethought that character
zee all his important decisions. This company has more life Insurance.
In Iorce than any other company in America and this is true because of
the following reasons:
L. A company purely mutual.
:. A policy without restrictions.
3. A policy with every privilege.
1D Grace in payment of premiums.
(2) Privilege of reinstatement.
90 Automatically non-forefftable from date of issue.
a. Incontestable from date of issue.
90 Cash loans n policies.
90 Options in settlement.
~ Privilege of changing beneficiary and method
of payment.
4. Policies covering every risk of life or fortune.
D. \ management vigorous in securing BUSH
ness, conservative in care of funds.
6. An actual accounting to pOlicy-hOlders, with
full details of securities owned.
Z. a company with So years of business exper-
Some of these benefits may be obtained from other companies but the
New York Life Insurance Com pany is the only one that gives them all.
No man or womnn, now in good health need die poor, or be without
support in old age, a s a policy in the New York Life Insurance Company
provides against both.
Remember that the best life insurance is none too good and do not
insure with any company until you have examined the New York Life
Insurance Companys scheme, and also
Remember that E. A. WEARNE living in Webster is c
regular agent for this company, who will be glad to call on you at your
leisure, and will explain all the details Of a policy on your life, without
charging you a cent.
Policies issued fer both men and women from the age of Is years

HELPED EACH OTHER.
Two Cashiers Who Arranged to Rob
Two Banks simultaneously.


"No system of checks can prevent
dishonest employee from stealing"
said veteran business man and bank
director of this city, land the best de-
terrent | know Of is an occasional
oyerhauling of accounts by Gn outside
actuary If all hands feel that this is
liable to happen at any moment, they
are very apt to keep straight. The
strong point about such examinations
should be their uneYpectedness.
don't believe in the rotation of book
keepers or other trusted employees
as a check on one another. Good men
in the same establishment always have
an aversion to tale-bearing, and In
nine cases out of ten, they VIII fail tC
report little things that would at once
excite their suspicion in a ledger kept
by stranger. They don't want to
run the risk of making a mistake and
securing the everlasting enmity of a
fellow employee. The man who makes
the inspection should be brought, if
possible, from another city.
THAT reminds me, by the way, of a
remarkable story of collusion which
was related to me lately by a national
bank examiner of my acquaintance.
One day he was going through the
usual inspection Of affairs at a solid
old bank in a northeastern city, when
the cashier suddenly toppled over in
an apoplectic fit, and died almost in.
stantly, His cash and accounts were
found to be absolutely correct. Some
months later the inspector dropped in
to make an examination of another
bank only few doors away, and the
cashier promptly slipped out a side
entrance and disappeared. 1t de-
yolOpcd that he was short a large
amount, and when subsequently,
caught curious story leaked out. It
seemed that both cashiers were de.
taultcrs, and had been in the habit of
helping each other out with cash to
make good when the examiner an.
pcarcd. At the time the FIRST man
dropped dead he had about $500 600 Of
the other banks money, which he had
intended to return next day. The
tragedy left his friend in a terrible
hole, as he had to shoulder both
shortages, and when the examiner
next arrived there was nothing to do
but run. His statement was con.
trmed by ample eXtraneous evidence,
but | don't believe it was ever given
to the public in all its details"

The deer kept ahead of the engine
for some distance, but in turning aside
to enter a runway beside the track it
was struck by the engine and hurled
over a bank with a broken leg and a
broken outler The conductor jumped
from the train and plunged knife in
the animals throat. and the CaraCss
was placed on the pilot of the engine
and the train continued its course to.

Four miles west of here the Erie re.
crosses the Delaware, re-entering New
York state 1t is now unlawful to
bring fresh yenison into this state, so
the train was stopped at the other
side Of the bridge and the buck left
there. The engineer resides in Mata-

sent his son by way of Pike county
