A dispatch to the Chicago Record
Herald says that Mrs. Hetta Elkins,
widow of Henry K. Elkins, is reported
TO be in serious condition at the home
of a relative, Mrs 10 P. Burnside,
at Washington, DC. Mrs. Elkins is
suffering from pneumonia, and her
ply sicians fear she will not recover
Henry K. E1kins was wealthy lum-
herman, and was a member of the Chi
cago Board of Trade directorate. Mrs.
Elkins is member of the Daughters
of the Revolution. She went to Wash

Mrs. Burnside. All the parties men

It is said that Benedict and company
held out the dividends paid on the in
vestments made with the company by
the SPECTATORS in Racine, and some of
the other cities in the State. Kenosha
investors with the company were paid
IN full, and there was no disposition
to hold back any of their dividends. In
some cases, moreover, checks were re-
ceived in this city for dividends after
the principal had been withdrawn.
Such unprecedented generosity can be
accounted for only on the hypothesis
that the clerks have not had time to
write up the books, owing to the rush
of Withdrawals.

death of the insured whenever it occurs
If the insured be living and the policy is

come of forty dollars for each 81 900 in
surance will be paid to the insured, be-
ginning at the end of the twenty-irst
or the sixteenth year from the date of the
policy and continuing during the entire
lifetime of the insured. This form of
policy provides for the estate whenever

Guaranteed Income Policy,
DISTRIBUTION OF SURPLUS.

Any surplus accruing on this policy
will be apportioned at the end of twenty
or fifteen years and annually thereafter.
The surplus apportioned at the end of
the first period can be drawn in cash, or
applied to purchase an increase to the
guaranteed income or deferred annuity,
or to purchase additional paid-up life in
surance under the usual conditions. The
latter additional amount increases the
amount of the insurance but not the an
nual income.
That part of the premium which pro-
vides for the income or a deferred an
nuity in combination is participating and
will increase the surplus.
The additions purchased with the sur
plus, once credited are participating and
non-forfeitable.

An Unqualified Success. Good
Weather, Big Crowds, Fine
Exhibits, Good Races.
LAST DAY.

LAST DAY.
No finer day for a fair ever dawned
than was last Friday. 1t was an ideal
fair day. in fact, and could not have
been better had it been made to order
1t was a little warm, but not too warm,
and the great crowds that attended dur
ing the morning and afternoon pro-
Gee dings were comfortably taken care of
and had nothing to say against the
weather.
The forenoon programme included
only repetition of the cavalcade of live
stock and prize winners in those depart
ments Col. Chapman, as grand mar
shall, assisted by the department super
int endents again piloted the procession
before the grand stand, and the wearers
of the blue ribbons in each class were
heartily greeted, The seats on the
grand stand were open to all without
paw, and they were filled almost to the
extent of their capacity. The Sherman
band furnished its usual quantity of
|,
and the Kramers came on at intervals
with their special features. These, of
course, were much enjoyed, as they had
been previously throughout the fair.
In the afternoon there were probably
4 900 people on the grounds when the
races were begun.
THE RACES.
1t had been expected that there would
be a 2:30 race to take the place of the
untitled pacing race for colts, but in
stead of that special race was made up
for particular starters, the 2:30 PROPOSE
ii on not having terminated satisfactorily.
And the running race, which was to
have occurred on Thursday, had again
to 90 to the dogs for want of entries.
The races were begun nearly on time
and Starter Brownell again showed his
efficiency III getting the horses under
way and keeping them going all the
time. Darwin Rider, of Bellows Falls
H. NJ. Perry, of West Cornwall, and E.
f. Young, of Peekskill, n. y, again
offciated most acceptably as judges, and
also as timers.
There were two races on the card, the
special and the free for-all, the purse in
the former being $500 and that in the
latter 800. In the special race there
We're entered Trilby, by F. J. Dudley,

Springfield The heats in this race were
trotted alternately with those in the
free-for-all and there was hardly doubt
from the start as to who would be the
winner, as Lottie Gillig was apparently
not pushed at all and had almost hel
own way in three straights. William
had bad luck with his tires on the first
trip around in the first heat, but it die

heat, and just fourth (the sulkey beinl

of Shoreham: Roam Wilkes, by Frank
Winch. of Worcester. Mass. and Star

race, as Roam Wilkes, who seemed to be
pressed by the other two all the way
around until getting into the home
stretch in each heat, then came away
and won three easy heats 1t was really
a nice contest for second place between
RoXie and Star Hal, and before the event
was opened there We're numerous friends
of Roxie who were willing to back her
at even money against the field to win
the race. Fortunately for them they
did not find heavy takers. and Roxie

The interest in the race was chiefly in

lieved the final realization will go to this amount. Considerable of the notes in the bank are worthless and the statement is made that a number of Captain Corn
 welrs personal notes were cashed by the
 bank and are now in the possession of those in charge of affairs.
 J. H. Bemiss, cashier of the Bank of Commerce. this morning reiterated his statement to the effect that every de- positor in the bank would receive his money back. dollar for dollar. There is no definite time set, however, as to when the courts will order a distribution of the funds on hand and the amount real ized from the holdings by the bank. It is believed that the stockholders in the bank will lose considerably. The fact that Captain Cornwell Is the principal stockholder in the bank is taken by the public to mean that as far as the losses to the stockholders in the bank are con. cerned, Captain Cornwelfs interests win be sacrificed, and should there be any tbthg coming to him in the settling of affairs at the Bank of Commerce this will be turned into the Bessemer Savings Bank as assets.
 There Is yet much talk heard concern ing the whereabouts of Captain Cornwelf There appears to be but little doubt about his having gone East. Rumors prevailed yesterday that he had been heard from over the long distance telephone, but these rumors were denied.

BOND ISSUE ENJoINED.
Validity of the Nashville Election
 ia Attacked.

Nashville, June I2.-The issuance of $l,- 900, 900 in bonds by the city of Nashville in aid of the Tennessee Central Railroad. has been temporarily enjoined by Judge Clark. of the United States District Court. The tax payers voted to issue the subsidy about two years ago and the proposition was car ried by eleven votes.
 The validity of the election was at once attacked and the litigation has been pend ing ever since.
 At the last session of the Legislature an act was passed to obviate any lateent and apparent defects in the voting of the sub scription, and Judge Clark holds that the law was curative in so far as h applied to any clerical errors, but that 1t insuffi- cient and powerless to validate an illegal ballot.
 Judge Clark ordered that proof be taken on he number of illegal ballots cast and counsel for the complainants insist they can show that 700 illegal votes were polled, or more than enough to overturn the subscrip- ton,
