member of the Isthmian Canal Commits
Eicn, testified before the Senate Commit
tee on Inter- Oceanic Canals today that
he had carefully investigated the prepara-
tion made by the new Panama Canal
Company for the sale of the Panama
Canal rights and that he was fully con-
WINGED that under the French laws and
the usage CT the French courts that com
papy has a valid title TO the fran

could therefore make a transfer to the
United States which would hold In law.
He thought shat the corporate liqui-
datian. of the old Panama Company could
now be accepted as a proper guaranty
frcm that company as TO its position and
held the opinion that no apprehension

'rther opinion that any trouble that
might arise over right of way would be
encountered In dealing with a Central
American government but SAID that this
trouble is as probable In dealing with
Nicaragua and Costa RIGA in connection
With the Nicaragua route as with Colom-
bla in dealing with the Panama route.

Zinc onaker Concert COMPANY

Is now with us, and we are delighted
to make note of the fact that they are
drawing large audiences and giving nice
clean, high-class entertainments. 1t is
such a relief to find at least one medi-
cine show on the road that gives an
entertainment worth going to hear; you
don't have to go to the show the second
tirae to appreciate that the ladies and
gentlemen connected with the concert
are all professionals. Even Brother
Charles, who does the lecturing for the
Quaker Medicine Company, is very
entertaining in his talks ard is a gradu-
ate of two of the best medical colleges
in the United States, also Las a special
diploma ON eye, ear, nos and throat,
and is a licensed physician in South
Dakota; when you are listening TO him
it is not like listening to an ordinary
medicine "spheiler," bat o one who
knows whereof he speaks. They will
continue to give free concerts until Sat
urday when they will again lay business
aside and put on their big, double, pay
show; the admission to this entertain
ment, we understand, will be Is cents
for all under 10 years Of age, and for all
10 years or over, 20 cents. Saturday
evening a present worth S22.50 will be
given to some one in the opera house
who holds the lucky ticket. If you fail
to attend these concerts in the opera
house you will surely regret it, after
your friends tell you about them.

All policies of the Travellers are
written with the latest non-forfeitable
features, and if on account of inabil-
ity to pay premium the insured does
not lose what he has already paid the
company. To illustrate this on the
above twenty year endowment, should
insured pay, say, ten of the premiums,
the company would loan him without
any security, except the policy, $3,740,
ed free for ten more years, when the
company will return in cash to the in.

miums paid the first ten years, in fact
the net cost of the insurance under
this option is less than $40 a year for

If you intend to take life insurance,
you should investigate the contracts
Of the Travellers. The agents of the
company will be glad to explain the

wish to carry.

The Travellers Insurance company
up to January 1, 1902, had paid policy
holders claims amounting to $46,083,-
S6S.05, and will pay policy holders
this year between four and five million
dollars.
The Travellers ranks first for prompt
payment of claims. as an illustration
of this. the late John W. Sullivan
formerly of Pine Bluff held Trav-
elers life policy for $4,000. On Decem-
Der I, 1901. he died at Newport, Ark,
on December 13 Mrs. Sullivan notified
the company of his death; on Decem
ber %, just ten days after, Mrs. Sulli-
van received a draft for the policy.
The Travellers issues all the stand.
ard forms of guaranteed policies, and
issues them for about 20 per cent less
premium than is charged by other
standard companies writing business
in Pine Bluff The Travellers write
fifteen payment policy for the same
rate as the mutual companies (such
as the New York Life, Mutual Life,
Equitable and Massachusetts,
charge for a mutal twenty
payment life policy, the saving
of five full years premiums and
getting through paying premiums to
the company in fifteen years instead
of twenty years means a great deal to
policy-holder.
The line of policies written by thea
Travellers include ten, fifteen and
twenty premium policies, per cent
gold bonds and endowment policies.
The endowment policies of the
Travellers operate in the same way as
putting money in savings bank, the
policy holder is insured all the time
he is depositing premiums with the
company and in addition to the insur-
ance, he receives interest on every
dollar he pays them.
Supposing man is thirty years of
age and takes a twenty year $4,000
in the Travellers, if he dies before he
is fifty years old the company pays
his family $4,000 in cash, but if he
lives to be fifty years old he himself
draws the $4,000 in cash. Should he
not want it all in cash the company
will pay him a cash dividend Of 81
