SUMMONS FOR FIRST
REGIMENT SENT OUT
Meeting Called in Connection With
COurt-martinI Findings.

COurt-mRrtiaI Findings.
A meeting of the First Regiment has
been called by Col. G. A. Gordon for
Tuesday night.
In the order issued yesterday 1t was
stipulated that the men will not APP
pear in uniform, and that they will
not be detained more than ten or fif-
teen minutes. If the men have en-
gagements it is intended that they
shall be able to fill them on time.
The necessity for the called meeting
has arisen from the fact that the reg
ular drill for Monday night has been
practically abandoned for this week,
and that there will be no opportunity
to transact the business for which the
meeting has been called on the follow
ing night.
The drills for Monday night have
been left to the discretion of the COM
nanding officers Of the companies, and
IL Is not expected that the men will be
detained from the other attractions in
the city
1t Is expected that every member
of the regiment will be present, special
sumnonses having been issued to the
members of the various companies
and to the members OF the field, staff
and non-comnissioned STAFF.
II is reported that the meeting is
called for the purpose OF discussing
the verdict of the court martial, and
Of counteracting any designations
which may be in contemplation. Col.
Gordon will make a short address to
the men, though along what lines has
not been, given out.

And How 1T Assures That Comfort
able Feeling.

Let me show you my insurance
plant" said a merchant to a visiting
friend. This little card is a copy of
a provision in my life insurance pol
icy which tells me how much cash I
can get at the end of every year. Only
the agent kept me paying during the
early years. After had it three years,
however, he came to me and said: /
don't suppose I will have to coax you
to keep up your policy any longer,
for it is now valuable and growing
asset 1 asked him to explain and
he showed me that could borrow
quite a neat sum if I so desired.
had never thought about that feature,
but had looked upon my premium pay
ments as a dead loss. I was so much
interested in the rapid increase that
had a copy of the values made and
stuck up here on my desk where I can
see it. AS each year goes by 1 put d
cross opposite the amount in the cash
column and I write down the amount
of my dividend accumulations so that
l can see at a glance how much 1t Is
worth to me. You see that the cash
value is now over 81, $780, to say nothing
of the dividends and interest which are
to the credit of my policy. These
may draw out at any time, and still
leave my policy intact. Under the
tontine plan of insurance I would not
receive credit for these dividends until
after twenty years, and then it is OPP
tional with the company to give you
what they please. I like the annual
dividend plan best. I have none of the
old feeling that paying for life inSur-
ance is throwing away money. ] have
constantly before me the fact that
am not only protecting my family, but
am saving money by paying for insur-
ance. That little card is an incentive
and I can see my policy climbing and
growing in value. never look at it
without getting that comfortable feel
ing"
Let US show you the plans of the
Massachusetts Mutual. and if you take
a policy with us you, too, will have
that comfortable feeling. Harry &

Mayor Myers and Present Aldermen
VIII Probably be Nominated.
The coming week will be busy one
in politics.
The Citizens Club since its caucus
last Thursday night has put out work.
ers to get new voters registered and
from now on there will be something
doing in politics.
Since the big caucus has been held
and everything has been shaped up
for the campaign, arrangements are
being made for meeting of the va
rious district organizations.
During the coming week almost all
of them will have their initial meet
ing of the campaign. Though there is
no opposition to the present admins
tration, the old-time politicians are
working with the same zeal that would
be displayed in a spirited contest.
1T is the safe way to do in poll
tics" the party leaders say.
Interest in the Marching Club is
strong at present and the powers that
be are endeavoring to continue this
state of affairs. To keep interest up it
has been arranged to have the returns
of the presidential election given in
detail at the club on the night of Nov.
8. special wire will be run into
the club rooms and an operator will
receive the returns as they come from
all parts of the country.
1t is through the district meetings
that interest in the Citizens Club has
always been maintained. One district
endeavors to Guido another in the at
tendance at its meeting, and in this
way friendly rivalry is fostered. At
the district meetings there are al
ways several speakers and preferences
are usually expressed as to the can
didates which are to be elected.
Mayor Myers and the present Board
of Aldermen, it is generally conceded,
will be nominated by the Citizen
