A. F. Williams.

The appointment of Archie F. VIII
lams as United States commissioner
VIII create vacancy in the office of
representative from the city district as
a person can not hold a state and q
government Job at the same time.
There is already some talk about a
successor to Mr. Williams and it is pro-
paple that II. G. Larimer. ex-represen-
tatlve, will be chosen to succeed him.
Mr. Larimer lives in what used to be
known as The Strip which is now q
part Of the Fourth ward He then rep
resented the country district in the leg
lslature. Now he IS a resident of the
city and is therefore eligible as Mr..
Williams successor. It is rumored that
Mr.. Larimers candidacy will be ap-
proved by d. ". Mulvane and the man

not unlikely that he win have no op-

HOOK MAKES ORDER.
Kansas Mutual Bidders May
Communicate by Trustees.

As result of the National Life In
surance company getting hold of list
of the pOlicyholders of the Kansas
Mutual some time ago, the other COM
panies who are bidding for the business
of the Kansas Mutual are insisting that
they also be given copies Of the list in
order to place them on an equal footing
with the National Life. The trustees
of the Kansas Mutual applied to Judge
Hook, asking if they could be allowed
to give out the lists, as the other COM
panies desired to send letters and liter
ature to the pOlicyholders, urging the
acceptance of their respective bids, in
asmueh as the National Life seems to
be doing so.
Judge Hook refused to allow the list
to be given out, but he has made an or
der allowing communications to so
through the hands of the trustees. The
order states, however. that these com
munications must not attempt to tear
down the propositions Of other COM
panies, but only point out the good tea-
lures of the proposition of the company
sending the communications. In TINS
way the companies can reach the policy
holders with the arguments in favor of
their particular bids. The order is as
! follows:
And now on this 25th day of May,
/ d 1903 this cause came on to be
heard. and it appearing wise and ex-
pedient unto the court. 1t IS py the
court ordered that all bidders for the
reinsurance of the business of said in

particular class of policyhoiders pro
vided said bidders shall make satisIae- %
tory provision and guaranty for all tne
( costs and expense incident TO such
communication as for postage, statloh-
cry and the like
ssAnd it is further ordered that any
noIicv holder who may so desire may
