GOES BUMP.

The Bankers Union of the World
in Hands Of Receiver.
The members of the Pioneer Ben
efciary order were notified in Nov
I ember that the Pioneers would 60
out of existence and those who 80
desired could transfer their policies
to the Bankers Union of the World.
Last month representative of the
Union, of Luverne, came here and
reorganized the order into the Bank
ers Union. Officers were elected and
twenty seven old members took up
the new insurance, and others were
thinking of renewing their member
ship, but, from the following they
will doubtless conclude not to renew.
Lincoln, Neb. Jan. pa temper
ary receiver was today appointed by
the state supreme court for the
Bankers Union Of the World, an in
surance order, at the request of the
deputy state auditor, who alleges
that 1t is insolvent and that $50, 900
due policy holders remains unpaid
and that the assets are only $4,000.
E. e. Spinney of Omaha is president
and his wife is vice president.
Omaha, Jan. 22.-The Bankers
Onion OF the World, for which the
supreme court today appointed a
temporary receiver, was organized
i've years ago by DR.. E. c. Spinney,
who has been it's president since the

I The company has been doing bus
mess in twenty-five states and has
in force about 81, OOO,00 of insur-
ance. It's gross receipts for 1908, &C.
cording to a statement just issued,
were $13s, 387, and the claims paid
during the same period amount to
So, 600.
President spinney stated that the
receivership came az an entire sur
prise to him, although he admitted
that there had been some difficulty
between tho state auditors Office
and the company as result he said
Of his union declining to pay certain
alleged excessive charges for exam
ina6on.
He says that Jan. 10 the concern
had $12, 900 in cash on hand and
owned other assets worth SIS, 900.
The allegation that the state auditor

$1,000 commissions, which repre-
sented 5 per cent allowed him but
never drawn, on business for three
years; ZOO paid his wife salary

And Other Effects-Saturday Nights
Entertainment at College Chapel.
An audience at College chapel
Saturday night, witnessed a delight
full entertainment. Contrary to gen
eral expectation the attendance was
not of the overflow kind, seating ac-
commodations still being available
when the last belated visitor entered.
Music was the chief asset on the
program, and it came from all di-
rections and in all forms that are of
the best. There was solo by Otto
Herse, and encore, sung with fine
effect. There was duet by Full
ton and Herse so excellent that
there was a stormy recall but no re-
sponse. There were numbers by
the male quartette, consisting of
Fulton, Herse, Pritchard and John
son all an aggregation of such eN-
cellent voices that probably no town
in Oregon can duplicate it. Its
numbers were all stornily applaud
ed, and in some instances third
recall was insisted upon by theaudi-
ence. There was number, "Steal

as remarkable in its effect as is or
dinarily heard from choruses of the
sort that travel. Welcome Pretty

PORTLAND POULTRY SHOW.
Benton County Exhibits Receive High
Commendation.

More than usual interest through
out Oregon was manifest in the
State Poultry Associations meeting
and exhibit just closed in Portland.
The number and merits of exhibits
at this show surpassed those of any
other show Of the kind ever held in
the state and pou1try1nen look for
ward with much enthusiasm to the
associations meeting in Portland
during the 1905. Lewis and Clark
fair. The gathering just closed
was in reality the 1903 meeting de-
1ayed, and the 1904 meeting will be
held, of course, before that of 1905,
at a place yet to be determined.
On account of the interest shown in
Benton county, in the breeding of
fine poultry, Corvallis meets with
much favor as the city in which to
hold the 1904 show.
At the Portland show a number
of special prizes were offered. For
example: The E. ]. Ladd Silver
cup offered for the best male bird of
any age or any variety, was won by
Hollywood Chief, which was bar
red Plymouth Rock. The Presi-
dents Cup, for the best female bird
of any age or variety, was won by
j. c. Murray's barred Plymouth
Rock hen. The Ball Cup, for the
best barred Rock cockerel, was
won by Hollywood Chief. The
Bauer Cup was won by J. L. Has
kins, Black Minorcas. The Murray
Cup, for the best collection of White
lWyandottes was won by DIR. Bowen
Lester.
Benton county poultrymen gen.
ally Jared well, as was to beexpect-
ed.
F. L. Miller exhibited five Buff
Orpington chickens and upon these
he received one 1st prize and foul
Isecond awards. There were in the
general exhibit perhaps fifty birds
sent from Oregon, Washington ano
British Columbia. -.
From sixteen Buff Leghorns, ex
hibited by Gene Simpson, he wa:
! awarded ten prizes from 1st to 5th
Chickens sold by Mr.. Simpson early
in the season, and exhibited by
others, came in for three important
prizes.
Mrs. G. #. Linderman had or
exhibition Silver I laced Wyandottes
and she was awarded second prlz
5 on cockerel, and second, third an'
fifth on pullet.
DIR. Lester's exhibit of Whit
Wyandottes attracted much atten

though less effective, was sweetly
sung. There was an excellent sex

To this excellent program of
music was added a fine club swing

Wilson, and eiocutionary numbers

MARK HANNA.

Mark Hanna, in personal in
f1uence one of the most powerful
politicians of his time, is dead. He
passed away at his hotel in Wash
ington Monday night, after an i'll
ness of two months. He was one
of a quartette of the most promi-
nent political figures of the country,
of whom the other three are Roose-
welt, Cleveland and Bryan. Two
of these had the advantage OF Han
ma as to prominence in that each
has been able to write his name,
president of the United States"
and the other has twice been the
nominee of his party for that great
Office; yet in point of personal fame
and political prominence. neither
outshone the dead senator.
Eight years ago, he was unknown
outside the limits of his own state.
His early life, like his birth and
boyhood was in obscurity. I'm
til the remarkable days preceding
and during the convention that first
nominated Mckinley, the country
had never heard of Mark Hanna.
The advantage of the education
that is the large asset and open
sesame to a public career, had been
denied him. At one master stroke,
however, he nominated a president
and then, under circumstances and
conditions that presented immense
obstacles, elected him. He follow
ed the move by forcing an unwill-
ing state to bestow upon him at one
time two elections to the great Office
of senator.
The position and his chairman
ship of the dominant republican
party, together with his relation
with President Mckinley placed ii
his hands power greater than
that of any other man in the coun.
try, and he welded it with a precis
ion and authority that did not di
minish, but increased the conf
dence of his party. and probabl,
the entire country in him. HI

to the position achieving one of the

history of the country and landing

career, since 1t began has been spec

seemed to give promise OF ever

1t illustrates most vividly thos
possibilities for advancement or dis
tinction that open up to an Ameri
can citizen, no matter how humbl
his origin or how unpromising HI
earlier opportunities OF achieye
ments. Nearly all of his political op
ponents deny. perhaps. that he wa
a statesman, and condemn that mer
cenary side of political methods o
which he was the high priest; bu
they are forced to admit that h
was a man of gigantic constructiv
genius, and the most powerful lead
er of his time, with perhaps a bel
ter side to his character than tina
for which they have been wont t
give him credit.

THE DRIVER INCIDENT.
Some of the Details Explained BY Local
Clergymen in Public Letter.

In Saturdays Oregonian, a
number of local ministers add in
formation to that all ready pub
lished with respect to the incident
in which DR.. Driver called Rev.
Handsaker a liar. A portion of
the article is as follows:
"Inasmuch as various erroneous
statements are going the rounds as
to what took place in an afternoon
meeting in the Methodist Episce-
pal church at Corvallis, We the
ministers of Corvallis who were
present, deem it but just to make a
simple statement of facts.
First-The afternoon meeting re-
ferred to was purely a devotional
meeting, no controversial points re-
ferring to the Campbellite church
in particular being touched upon.
Second-As the meeting was
about to close, Mr.. Handsaker,
pastor of the Campbellite church,
requested the privilege of saying a
word, which request was granted
by the pastor presiding; but instead
of speaking to any of the subjects
presented at that meeting or re.
ferred to in DR.. Drivers controv.
ersia1 lectures previously given, he
committed a breach of ministerial
courtesy and abused the privilege
granted, in making a personal at
tack upon DR.. Driver, saying that
he wished to correct some thing:
he understood were being circulat
ed concerning their teachings, ane
to enlighten these people upor
these things. and DR.. Driver also,
if necessary, so that he would no
go elsewhere and make the same
mistake; then without quali6ca
tions, he charged DR.. Driver with
backing down when challenged t.
a defense of his position in the Al
bany lectures, at Albany, by some
Campbellite ministers, the first o
last :..onth, and added also that hs
!, could prove IT,.
Third-That while DR.. Driver
under the provocation of such
charge, replied in no uncertain
language, and with no danger o
being misunderstood, yet logically
contraries cannot both be true.
Fourth pastor of the Meth
odist Episcopal church. Frank L
Moore, who was presiding, being
much Younger man than DR.. Driv
er, did not undertake to tell Dr.
Driver what he must or "must not
do, and did not say, "Dr. Driver
you must not use such languag'
here" as was reported in the pa
pers.

BLOOD THIRSTY
County Surveyor Stoner Back
From Baudette and Tells
of MOSQUITOES.

County Surveyor M. D. Stoner
returned this morning from a
trip to the northern part of the
county, where he went to survey
the new tovnsite of Spooner, one
mile up the Rainy river from
Baudette. The work has been
completed and Spooner begins to
grow and from this time on will
be something of rival for Bau-
dette. Business houses are go
ing up.and there is great activity
in the building line. Mr.. Stones
says there is no better or more
resourceful country in the county
than that in the vicinity of Bau-
dette and it is developing very
rapidly There is some fine land
in that vicinity and the entire
country is booming. The mos.
quitoes, according to Mr.. Stone,',
are the limit, however, and the
work of surveying in the timber
they make decidedly disagree
able. Mr.. Stoner says it is a
fact that he was bitten through
his heavy cruisers boots and all
the men had to wear heavy net
ting over their faces to protec,
them from the pests. =.

that she had removed from Du-

their holiday money had been ex=..

against it, when they arrived
here this morning. Rev. Smith
and other local pastors took their
case in hand and this afternoon
they went to Crookston, where it
is sincerely to be hoped they will
meet with no further hard luck.

BEMIDJI WINS
Comes Out Victorious inFast Elk.
Inhibition Of Baseball On
Local Field.

~ vi ~
In the best exhibition game Of
base ball which has occurred on
the local grounds this season, the
Bemidji team we're victorious
against a fast team from Brain
erd this afternoon. Only a small
crowd was in attendance at the
game, due to some misunder-
standing as to the time set for
playing, and the game was cut to
five innings.
Much interest was manifested
throughout, and at one time
Brainerd decided to quit an ac-
count of a decision OF the
umpire. However, they decided
to play the game, scoring
only in the third inning. Be.
midi played ball from start to
